    Liam Rosenior said he was fully responsible for Chelsea’s defensive mistakes after a fourth straight defeat in all competitions.

    Manchester United are reportedly set to file a formal complaint with PGMOL after believing a major VAR error cost them victory against Bournemouth. The club are furious that Amad Diallo was denied a penalty in a decision they see as inconsistent and damaging.

    Bruno Fernandes criticised the officiating after Manchester United were denied what he believed was a clear second penalty against Bournemouth. The captain argued that Amad Diallo was penalised by perception, as a similar foul later led to a spot-kick for Bournemouth. United scored first through Fernandes after Matheus Cunha won a penalty, but frustration grew when Amad was pushed in the area and play continued. Bournemouth then benefited from a comparable decision after Harry Maguire fouled Evanilson, prompting Fernandes to question VAR consistency and how smaller players are judged.

    Ruben Amorim has emerged as a leading candidate to take over at Benfica, with reports in Portugal saying he is near the front of the queue. The move would be politically charged because of his deep ties to Sporting and Benfica’s uncertain position under Jose Mourinho. Amorim’s reputation in Portugal has remained strong despite his short and difficult spell at Manchester United. Reports say Benfica could consider a change if results do not improve, and one pundit has described Amorim as the most logical option because of his title-winning track record in Portuguese football.

The league said Chelsea’s self-reporting, admissions and exceptional cooperation counted heavily in mitigation after breaches linked to the Abramovich era. Reuters and other reports say Everton supporters are now planning a protest, while finance expert Kieran Maguire has highlighted the contrast with previous punishments handed to Everton and Nottingham Forest.
