Nicolas Pepe came off the bench to spark a dramatic late turnaround as Arsenal overcame Premier League top-four rivals Wolves 2-1 in a thrilling encounter. 

Hwang Hee-chan pounced on an error from Gabriel Magalhaes to end a 10-game barren run and put Wolves on top in a fiery encounter at Emirates Stadium on Thursday. 

The visitors quickly shifted their focus to defence but substitute Nicolas Pepe eventually found a way past goalkeeper Jose Sa in the 82nd minute. 

Pepe then teed up Alexandre Lacazette to force the winner, which went down as an own goal by Jose Sa, to spark jubilant scenes among the Gunners players and fans, with the gap to fourth-placed Manchester United – who they have played two games fewer than – now reduced to just one point.

Sevilla will be looking to secure only their fourth La Liga victory of the 2023-24 season when they host Alaves at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Friday night.

Sevilla have gone through severe difficulties this season, earning just 16 points from 19 matches, placing them in 16th position in the table. Meanwhile, Alaves sit in 15th place with 17 points from their opening 19 games. Both teams obviously find themselves in a precarious position at this stage, dangerously close to the bottom three in the league standings.

Struggles are unfortunately a familiar territory for Sevilla these days. Having finished 12th in the La Liga standings last term, they were widely expected to bounce back and fight for top-four placemen…

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte claims that achieving a top-four finish in the Premier League will require a miracle as he prepares for Sunday s clash with Newcastle United.

Spurs have won four of their last five Premier League games, having lost four of their previous five. They have also scored at least two goals in each of their last five matches, last doing so in more consecutive league games between February and April 2017 (a run of seven games).

Ahead of welcoming Newcastle to north London, Spurs trail fourth-placed Arsenal by just three points, but Conte was keen to highlight that his team are not favourites to finish in the Champions League places.

It s right to underline that this target is very, very difficult, Conte said of Spurs Champions League ambitio…

Liverpool are paying a close attention to the situation surrounding Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala, according to .

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder, whose scintillating performances at both club and international level have been attracting plenty of attention, is about to enter the final 18 months of contract with the Bundesliga giants, and though Bayern remain confident of having Musiala in their ranks for many years to come, no agreement over a proposed new deal has been reached as of yet. Musiala is said to be favouring a new Bayern contract, but he hasn t ruled out the possibility of leaving the Allianz Arena.

Therefore, links with other top clubs obviously come as no surprise, with the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also credite…

Wales boss Rob Page insists Aaron Ramsey’s surprise selection for Euro 2024 play-off duty is not a risk.

Skipper Ramsey has not started a match for six months after suffering a knee injury.

The 84-times capped midfielder returned for Cardiff in February but made only two substitute appearances – playing a combined total of 72 minutes – before picking up a calf complaint.

Cardiff manager Erol Blut initially ruled Ramsey out of the play-offs, but the 33-year-old could now feature for his country.

“It’s not been ideal for Aaron, he’s had a few setbacks,” Page said after naming Ramsey in a 28-man squad for the play-off semi-final with Finland in Cardiff on March 21 and a potential home final against Estonia or Poland five days later.

Leeds United have turned to former Watford head coach Javi Gracia in their bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League, appointing the Spaniard on a flexible contract .

Leeds have faced several setbacks in their bid to replace Jesse Marsch since sacking the American earlier this month, seeing an approach for Rayo Vallecano s Andoni Iraola blocked.

Feyenoord s Arne Slot also ruled himself out of contention, leaving interim coach Michael Skubala to oversee their last three games – a defeat at Everton following a return of one point from a double-header against Manchester United.

Defeat at Goodison Park last time out left Leeds two points adrift of safety in 19th place, and Gracia will need to make an instant impact against bottom club Southampton on Saturday.…

Everton s miserable start to the new season continued as they were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Southampton, who experienced spot-kick joy after their penalty pain against Manchester United.

Sean Dyche s Toffees have lost their past two Premier League matches despite leading 2-0 in each, and they let slip another lead on Tuesday.

Abdoulaye Doucoure s opener was cancelled out by Saints Taylor Harwood-Bellis, with a 1-1 draw taking the third-round tie to penalties at Goodison Park.

Southampton, like Everton, are pointless in the league after Cameron Archer s spot-kick miss in their latest defeat at home to United on Saturday proved costly.

But this time Saints succeeded from 12 yards, advancing after a 6-5 shoot-out win, with Ashley Young the only man to f…

Martin Zubimendi rejected an offer to join Liverpool in order to stay at Real Sociedad this summer, even though the Merseysiders reportedly didn t shy away from his €60 million release clause. Now, however, the Spain international regrets his decision, according to Spanish outlet . It s also been said that Zubimendi has made contact with Liverpool, asking them to renew their efforts to take him to Anfield.

On the other hand, the report also states that Sociedad have denied this claim, saying quite clearly that nothing has suddenly changed when it comes to the midfielder s future.

Whether Zubimendi is indeed having second thoughts or not, it s not very easy to imagine Liverpool going back to get him, once their advances have been rejected. While they likely respected h…

Ibrahimovic enters the latest crunch clash between Inter and his Milan just two goals shy of 500 in club football.

The former Sweden striker drew a blank against Atalanta on Saturday, ending a run of scoring in nine consecutive Serie A starts, but will be determined to bounce back in this mammoth fixture.

We have to redeem ourselves after this defeat, Ibrahimovic said after the 3-0 loss to Atalanta. We have the chance to do it in a few days against Inter. That will be a good match.
