Jean-Philippe Mateta

Star of the show in Saturday’s six-goal thriller at Selhurst Park was Jean-Philippe Mateta, with the in-form Frenchman scoring a hat-trick against Bournemouth which meant he hit the 50-goal involvement mark in the Premier League for the Eagles, courtesy of 43 goals and eight assists (51 in total).

The striker has scored two of Palace’s three Premier League hat-tricks, while courtesy of his late penalty strike, he was

Another day, another Erling Haaland masterclass.

Erling Haaland in 2022-23

Erling Haaland in 2024-25

Erling Haaland in 2025-26

The 25-year-old’s ruthless double against Everton helped Manchester City to second in the Premier League on Saturday, taking his tally to 11 league goals in just eight games so

Erling Haaland: Man City striker hot favourite for Golden Boot

By Total Football News

Of course, injury could definitively intervene in the destination of the Golden Boot, but there are two reasons why Haaland is such a strong favourite for the award so early.

First, the number of goals he has already scored – and, just as importantly, the number and quality of chances he is getting. And second, the slow start his usual rivals for the prize have made.

A player’s expected goals

Brentford 0-1 Manchester City: Erling Haaland goal secures Pep Guardiola 250th Premier League victory

By Total Football News

City knew they would claim ground on title rivals Liverpool – who lost again on Saturday – with a win and remain in touch with leaders Arsenal.

Three wins in their past four matches keeps Guardiola’s side firmly in the mix after two defeats in August – but he will still want City to punish their opponents when they are on top.

For all their dominance in possession, City could

Sean Longstaff (Leeds)

A last-gasp Bournemouth equaliser on Saturday may have been painful for the Elland Road faithful but the performance of Sean Longstaff gives Daniel Farke and co much hope for the rest of the season.

In a standout display, the former Newcastle United man both scored and assisted in an English league game for just the second time in his career, after also doing so for Blackpool v

By Total Football News

Erling Haaland scored twice late on and Maxime Esteve inadvertently scored two own goals to help Manchester City to a thumping Premier League victory over Burnley.

Pep Guardiola’s side were questioned after losing back-to-back games in August, but have responded by winning three and drawing one to return to form and climb up to fourth in the table.

They were given a huge helping hand by French defender Esteve, who

FPL gameweek six talking point: Erling Haaland triple captain?

By Total Football News

Pras: With the extra set of chips we have been handed for the first half of the season, there is certainly a temptation to use one every week. This is especially true with triple captaincy, where there isn’t much planning involved.

If you own a player who has a great fixture, it’s a chip you can just play on a whim.

Iliman Ndiaye, Everton, £6.5m – West Ham (h)

Taking on a Hammers defence that has conceded a league-high 13 goals, Ndiaye is, just about, the best option from Everton’s great-value midfield trio.

You might prefer Jack Grealish (£6.8m) after his four assists so far, or budget-friendly Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5m), who has taken as many shots as Ndiaye.

But Senegal forward Ndiaye is the biggest goal threat and also on penalties.

De Bruyne has won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and the League Cup on five occasions while at City.

He is second in the list of most assists
