Erling Haaland: Could Manchester City striker beat Alan Shearer’s Premier League record?

By Total Football News

Haaland scored a goal every 79 minutes in his first season as City won the Treble – the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup – in 2022-23.

That rate decelerated to one every 98 minutes last season and stands at one every 118 this campaign, with City enduring a difficult spell of just one win in 13 games between 30 October and 26 December.

Despite those declining numbers, Shearer

With so many attacking options all injured – Ryan Hardie, Michael Obafemi, Ibrahim Cissoko, Muhamed Tijani and Morgan Whittaker – Argyle boss Rooney was forced to give 16-year-old Tegan Finn his first start, following one appearance as a second-half substitute in the 3-0 defeat at Leeds in early November.

Rooney was also without skipper Joe Edwards, while Lampard could afford to make four changes from Saturday’s 4-1 four-goal Callum Lang-inspired

Liverpool look team to beat in title race after thrashing Spurs

By Total Football News

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou lifted the famous line from the movie Gladiator following the wild ride of victory over Manchester United when he asked: “Are you not entertained?”

It was Postecoglou’s way of answering questions about his cavalier approach, after Spurs threatened to concede a 3-0 lead in Thursday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final before winning 4-3.

The problem is that Postecoglou’s idea of entertainment works two ways – as he and

Stoke boss Narcis Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke:

“It’s a hard one to take. You expect to win when they are down to 10 men.

“We defended badly (on both goals) – we shot ourselves in the foot. We have to be much more aggressive because we have more numbers than them in the box, it cannot end in a goal, it’s unacceptable.

“In the first half I think we

There was plenty of enthusiasm but little goalmouth action in the opening 20 minutes in west London.

Idris El Mizouni tried his luck from 20 yards in the 22nd minute after the Hoops failed to close down a swift Oxford move. The Tunisia international’s shot took a slight deflection, but failed to trouble the hosts’ goal.

QPR, meanwhile, were seeking long throws into the box, without success.

That was as

After eight minutes, Brentford led. Christian Norgaard, making his 100th Premier League appearance, spread a pass to the right wing for Mbeumo who cut inside. His shot flicked off Fabian Schar and past the static Pope.

But four minutes later, Newcastle equalised when Jacob Murphy’s speculative shot from 25 yards was pounced on by Isak flinging himself in the way to head home.

Newcastle had the better chances to take

Recalled on-loan Liverpool teenager Koumas opened the scoring on six minutes when he broke down the right from near the halfway line before cutting in to test home keeper Anthony Patterson.

His first effort was saved, but he coolly clipped the rebound in left-footed from a much tighter angle for a fourth goal of the season for the five-times capped Wales international.

Yet the Stoke lead lasted barely 30 seconds
