Antoine Semenyo

Bournemouth’s late 3-1 comeback victory against Fulham on Friday was inspired by Antoine Semenyo, who notched the equaliser in the 78th minute, assisted Justin Kluivert’s goal in the 84th and then added the gloss to the win with his second goal in stoppage time.

Semenyo was responsible for three of Bournemouth’s six shots on target, had 30% of their touches in Fulham’s box (9/30) and won possession back

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

Wassall was appointed in 2023 having previously served as academy manager at Derby – shaping, amongst others, Liam Delap’s early journey, the now-established careers of Leeds defender Jayden Bogle, Jason Knight and Max Bird, now both of Bristol City, and Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes.

His remit is a complex one but essentially to head a group of 12 regional managers who assist clubs in adhering to the guidelines and

Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike: What has gone on this week?

By Total Football News

The starting point of Liverpool’s move for Ekitike arrived at the end of last season.

They’d just lifted their second Premier League trophy – scoring 86 goals in the process, the most of any top-flight club that campaign.

Mohamed Salah, their main source of goals, had just signed a new contract, as well.

So there seemed little logic in spending heavily on a new goalscorer. But Arne Slot had other

All of my midfielders scored but I’m not putting them in for their goals, I’m putting them in for their all-round play.

Tomas Soucek (West Ham): Sometimes you watch games and guys just stand out on the pitch. Whenever you watch West Ham, Soucek is one of those guys who stands out.

He has a solid defensive framework. He heads it, kicks it, tackles. Offensively he’s a threat as well.

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) and Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa): These two are on a similar trajectory. Really impressive performance: box to box, combative and they did everything they needed to do. Tielemans has been great for Villa and now Villa are trying to work out who fits in around him. Before it was chopping and changing – was it Amadou Onana, was it John McGinn? Now it’s Tielemans and whoever. Fernandez
