Ruben Amorim rages at Manchester United after late West Ham equaliser ruins top five push

Ruben Amorim
December 2025

Manchester United threw away a vital home win against struggling West Ham, conceding a late equaliser from Soungoutou Magassa after Diogo Dalot had put them ahead, wasting the chance to climb into the top five and deepening frustration around their stuttering league campaign. United again lacked creativity and intensity at Old Trafford, with Bruno Fernandes ineffective and Ayden Heaven shaky in his first league start, while poor control of second balls from long deliveries infuriated Ruben Amorim, who blasted his side’s inconsistency and failure to kill the game after scoring.

Liverpool and Spurs advance talks for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as Barcelona watch

Yan Diomande
December 2025

Liverpool and Tottenham are both reported to be at an advanced stage of discussions with Yan Diomande’s camp, viewing the RB Leipzig winger as a priority target for their next attacking rebuild, while Barcelona track the situation cautiously due to financial constraints. Diomande’s rapid rise from US high school and UPSL football to Leganes and then Leipzig, plus his pace and versatility in Bundesliga attacks, have made him a coveted winger, with Spurs seeking extra firepower for Thomas Frank and Liverpool eyeing him as a long term wide option in their next generation front line.

Liverpool marked what would have been Diogo Jota’s 29th birthday with an emotional tribute post, reaffirming their support for his widow Rute, his children and the family of his late brother Andre Silva after the forward’s fatal car accident in July. The club have retired Jota’s number 20 shirt, kept a permanent memorial outside Anfield and committed to honouring the rest of his contract by paying his £140,000 a week wages to his family, while fans continue to sing his song in the twentieth minute of every home match.

December 2025

Newcastle are tracking versatile Palmeiras midfielder Allan Elias, whose €100m release clause and growing influence make him a headline candidate to help the Brazilian club hit a €70m sales target from new transfers in 2026. Palmeiras have already rejected a €20m offer from Zenit and expect bids near at least €32m, while their recent record exports of Endrick, Estevão, Luis Guilherme and Vitor Reis underline Allan as the next major sale, with Newcastle monitoring him for their long term rebuild.

Arsenal’s centre-back crisis deepens as Mosquera joins Saliba and Gabriel on injury list

William Saliba
December 2025

Arsenal extended their outstanding league start with a routine 2-0 victory over Brentford but lost stand in centre-back Cristhian Mosquera to injury before half time, adding another defensive headache on top of existing problems for William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. With Saliba and Gabriel already sidelined, Arteta paired new signings Mosquera and Piero Hincapie, only to see Mosquera forced off with a knock, while the manager later described Saliba’s niggle as a matter of days and Gabriel’s ankle issue as weeks, leaving the title favourites exposed in central defence during a crowded schedule.

Florian Wirtz denied first Liverpool goal by dubious own goal call

Florian Wirtz
December 2025

Liverpool needed a stroke of luck to avoid another damaging league result, drawing level when Florian Wirtz’s mis-hit shot deflected heavily off Nordi Mukiele and beat Robin Roefs, only for the Premier League’s goal accreditation panel to credit it as a Sunderland own goal. After Virgil van Dijk’s error and deflected concession left Liverpool chasing the game, Curtis Jones sparked a rare attacking surge and Wirtz slalomed through the box, but replays showed his effort was heading well wide, inviting more mockery of his output despite him being one of Liverpool’s few bright performers in a flat display.

Controversial Newcastle penalty sparks north London fury

Newcastle
December 2025

Arsenal and Tottenham fans united in anger after VAR told referee Thomas Bramall to award Newcastle a late penalty against Spurs for Rodrigo Bentancur’s grapple with Dan Burn, which Anthony Gordon converted to give the hosts a brief 2-1 lead. Bramall initially waved play on before VAR intervened, leading to a lengthy monitor review and a changed decision that left both fanbases furious, while Gordon’s goal was later cancelled out by Cristian Romero’s stoppage time equaliser in a frantic finish.

Haaland smashes 100-goal record in City’s 5-4 thriller at Fulham

Erling Haaland
December 2025

Erling Haaland became the fastest player in history to reach 100 Premier League goals, hitting the opener in Manchester City’s wild 5-4 win at Fulham to bring up his century in just 111 matches and end a rare mini-drought in front of goal. After failing to score in three straight games, Haaland rattled the post early before finally converting a Jeremy Doku cut-back in the 17th minute, maintaining his perfect scoring record against Fulham and strengthening a platform from which he could chase the division’s all time marks.

Spurs join Liverpool and Man City in £65m Semenyo transfer chase

Antoine Semenyo
December 2025

Northern interest in Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is intensifying, with Tottenham joining Liverpool and Manchester City in eyeing a January move and closely studying the £65 million release clause that would make the in form Ghana international one of the window’s priciest deals. Semenyo has produced six goals and three assists in 12 league games, justifying the price and fitting the explosive wide profile Spurs failed to secure last summer. Tottenham are now more prepared to pay, though uncertainty over under fire coach Thomas Frank clouds their pursuit.

Guardiola unmoved as Donnarumma racks up bookings amid law-change debate

Gianluigi Donnarumma
December 2025

City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma already has four yellow cards in ten league matches, mostly for dissent and time wasting, placing him on the brink of a suspension and intensifying criticism over perceived tactical “injury” stoppages used to create unofficial timeouts. Guardiola says the 26 year old is “adult enough” to manage his behaviour, while Daniel Farke’s complaints about a stoppage in City’s win over Leeds have fed into IFAB talks on goalkeeper treatment, including proposals to remove an outfield player or block touchline instructions during such breaks.
