Wolves: Club made transfer mistakes in Premier League survival fight

By Total Football News

Wolves’ winless start is just two matches short of the Premier League record of 17 games set by Sheffield United in 2020-21.

It has led to unrest and several supporters’ groups organised a boycott of the opening 15 minutes of Monday’s 4-1 defeat by Manchester United at Molineux to protest against Fosun’s running of the club.

Fosun has owned Wolves since 2016, overseeing their return to the Premier League in

‘Painful’ and ‘no fight’ – Spurs apologise for display in derby defeat

By Total Football News

Frank switched to a back three against the leaders, but the move failed to pay off as Arsenal cut through Spurs time and time again in the first half and deservedly led 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Leandro Trossard and Eze.

The Dane changed the system at the break, but former Crystal Palace man Eze scored the third 35 seconds into the second half before completing the

Bristol City 1-2 Queens Park Rangers: QPR fight back to beat Bristol City

By Total Football News

Both sides went into the game on the back of midweek draws, with the visitors making six changes to their starting line-up while City boss Gerhard Struber’s solitary tweak restored Mark Sykes in place of Ross McCrorie on the right flank.

While Rangers threatened in patches, with half-chances for Koki Saito and Kader Dembele, it was City who created the better opportunities and Scott Twine should have hit the target

Hull City 2-2 Preston North End: Tigers fight back from two goals down

By Total Football News

Oli McBurnie continued his rich vein of scoring form with a second-half double as Hull City stormed back from 2-0 down to rescue a point against Preston.

The Tigers’ leaky defence conceded twice inside the opening 10 minutes, with Thierry Small and Michael Smith both scoring their first goals in a North End shirt.

Preston dominated the first half, but the home side improved dramatically after the break and McBurnie

Chelsea 1-3 Brighton & Hove Albion: Danny Welbeck scores two as visitors fight back to beat 10 men

By Total Football News

Brighton came from behind to beat an ill-disciplined Chelsea side who had a player sent off for the second Saturday running.

Substitutes Danny Welbeck and Maxim de Cuyper scored during 11 minutes of added time as the visitors profited from Trevoh Chalobah’s 53rd-minute red card.

The Blues had been coasting to victory in the first half when Enzo Fernandez headed in Reece James’s cross, via a deflection off Brighton winger

Rasmus Hojlund’s fight to answer Man Utd’s striker question

By Total Football News

Against Leeds in Sweden, 18-year-old Chido Obi started. But the former Arsenal youngster currently appears to be an impact player.

Hojlund took over for the second half. As usual, he worked hard enough, didn’t receive the service a centre-forward would want and did his best for the team.

But, as usual, he didn’t score. He has scored 26 goals in 95 competitive appearances over two years at United – just

QPR 1-1 Bristol City: Robins fail to pull clear in play-off fight

By Total Football News

The R’s were quickest out of the gates, forcing Robins goalkeeper Max O’Leary into a string of early saves.

Yang Min-hyeok and Harrison Ashby – two of Marti Cifuentes’ four tweaks to the hosts’ line-up from the previous match – threatened to break the deadlock first before Dembele, another of the Spaniard’s changes, snuck through City’s backline to nod home from a Nicolas Madsen delivery at the back post.

By Total Football News

Defender Matt Clarke says Derby County have “embraced” their fight for Championship survival.

The 28-year-old returned to the club for a third spell in January, moving back to Pride Park on a permanent deal from second-tier rivals Middlesbrough.

By Total Football News

Luton are at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, to be followed by a crunch trip to Derby County, the team currently just above the bottom three, on Friday 18 April.

After that, they have a tough finish with games against Bristol City and Coventry City at Kenilworth Road and a concluding away fixture at West Bromwich Albion, all teams in or around the play-off places.
