In a tight encounter with very few clear-cut chances at either end, Sunderland secured a 1-0 win over Hull City last night to book their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round. A sumptuous lobbed finish from Chemsdine Talbi was the difference for Regis Le Bris’ side, who have reached such a stage of the competition for the first time since 2021/22. The manager will no doubt be happy with last night’s victory over their Premier League rivals, subsequently claiming their first win over the Tigers since October 2024. However, not every player who started had an evening to remember…

New York Red Bulls coach Michael Bradley is relishing the challenge of facing Los Angeles FC, but he knows his team must have a plan to stop Denis Bouanga.  Bradley’s side make the trip to BMO Stadium this week fresh from a goalless draw against the Seattle Sounders, a result that left them just outside the postseason places.  They face an LAFC side that are flying high in the Western Conference, sitting third in the table, with their position largely inspired by the goalscoring exploits of Bouanga.  Bouanga has scored 12 goals in 23 league appearances for LAFC this season, adding another…

Can anything top the unforgettable ninth round of Gatti vs Ward? Where does Danny Williams’ remarkable one-armed comeback…

Ryan spent too much of that fight waiting for the perfect counter while Romero denied him the openings he wanted. His frustration grew as the rounds passed, and he never found a reliable second plan. Benn will try to create the same mental discomfort through pressure rather than caution. That strategy comes with enormous danger. Ryan struggles when opponents force him backward in straight lines, but Benn often leaps forward with wide hooks. One reckless entry would place his chin directly in the path of Ryan’s check left hook. The fight may be decided by which man makes the first…

“Tyson, thank you for all the kind words. You don’t have to be rocket scientists to see what’s going on here. I’ve been saying the same thing since Bournemouth. Since we had the fight in Bournemouth, I’ve been saying the same thing.” White stopped there, but the target was not difficult to identify. Fury recently thanked him for arranging the Netflix agreement and helping get the proposed Joshua fight “over the line.” He has also accused Joshua and Eddie Hearn of blocking the event by insisting upon Wembley Stadium rather than Madison Square Garden. That confidence dates to June. Following…

Tottenham Hotspur’s dismal start to the new Premier League campaign has already put the club’s summer transfer business under the microscope, and not just in terms of the incomings. Those moved on by this ENIC regime are also likely to come into sharper focus if these early-season woes continue, with the bright start for Luka Vuskovic at Brighton and Hove Albion already having alarm bells ringing. Signed from Hajduk Split back in 2023, before officially joining in 2025, the Croatian teenager never actually made a competitive appearance for the Lilywhites, having spent last season on loan at Hamburg.

Chemsdine Talbi will not be leaving Sunderland this month and scored the only goal of a 1-0 EFL Cup win against Hull City on Tuesday to kickstart his season. Talbi was a key figure in Sunderland’s successful 2025-26 campaign, appearing in 30 matches and scoring four goals, including one in a Tyne-Wear derby win over Newcastle United. But the winger has scarcely been used at the start of the new season and was left out of Sunderland’s Europa League squad amid reports of a potential transfer to a club in the Saudi Pro League. That move will not happen, however,…
