Exeter Chiefs and AFC Bournemouth sharing expertise after Black Knight takeover

By Total Football News

Meanwhile, Baxter said the club’s new owners have brought some financial stability to Sandy Park.

The deal, worth about £25m, meant Black Knight took over what had been a members-owned club in Exeter and settled a number of their outstanding debts.

In the three months since the takeover, Baxter said the club has already invested in new training and medical equipment.

“The most important thing that’s changed is that we’re

AFC Bournemouth: Alex Scott rejects new contract with Premier League club

By Total Football News

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has rejected a new contract with growing Premier League interest in the England Under-21 international.

The Cherries have made it a summer priority to tie Scott down to fresh terms but as things stand there is no agreement.

The development comes amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea.

BBC Sport reported in June that Arsenal saw an approach

Crystal Palace 3-3 AFC Bournemouth: Jean-Philippe Mateta hat-trick salvages draw

By Total Football News

Boss Andoni Iraola is in his third season in charge of Bournemouth – and what a job he is doing.

The Cherries finished 15th, only five points above the relegation zone under Gary O’Neil in 2022-23, but since Iraola’s arrival they have come 12th and ninth – their joint-highest finish in league football.

However, despite losing four key players in the summer – centre-halves Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi,

This result will go down as a big missed opportunity for Bournemouth, who will be bitterly frustrated not to have made their numerical advantage count after the interval.

The Cherries had the lion’s share of possession in the first half without properly testing Dean Henderson in the Palace goal, but they could easily have been reduced to 10 men themselves when Scott felled Sarr from behind 10 minutes before Richards’

    When Brooks finished with aplomb it was impossible not to feel a degree of sympathy for Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

    The England goalkeeper was his typically animated self but backed it up with a near-faultless display between the sticks.

    Pickford superbly denied Dango Ouattara from close range early in the contest and then produced a double stop to deny Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert before the break.

    In front of

    It was noted that United practised defending set-pieces during the pre-match warm-up. Clearly the message is not getting through.

    At the start of this month, they conceded two goals at Arsenal from corners.

    Another followed in the match after, the home defeat by Nottingham Forest, while on Thursday, Tottenham skipper Son Hueng-min scored direct from a corner to confirm United’s EFL Cup elimination.

    There was nothing particularly strategic about United’s

    By Total Football News

    Justin Kluivert became the first player in 67 years to score a hat-trick of penalties in an English top-flight game as his treble saw off Wolves and piled the pressure on home boss Gary O’Neil.

    In a remarkable and thrilling match at Molineux, Evanilson also became the first player in Premier League history to win three spot-kicks in the same match.

    While Saliba’s sending-off determined the pattern of the rest of the game, Bournemouth – the league’s top runners in terms of distance covered – had made an energetic start in front of their home support and refused to let Arsenal settle.

    The hosts, determined to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Leicester City prior to the international break, were effective in stifling the Gunners – and Antoine Semenyo fired
