    Jesse Lingard enjoying new lease of life at West Ham

    Michael Antonio called them ‘Backstreet Moyes’ but when the West Ham players joined Jesse Lingard in mimicking a musical band as a goal celebration, it was about more than comic effect for a club enjoying a surprisingly good season.

    Mbappe ascends as Messi’s heir at Nou Camp

    The Camp Nou was vast in its emptiness on Tuesday night, and that was perfectly fitting. In the stands, silence swirled from stand to stand as yet another showpiece Champions League event passed by without a trace of the atmosphere and spectacle it deserved.

    Man Utd defence is crying out for a partner for Harry Maguire

    Manchester United’s first title challenge in eight years is in danger of petering out. Drawing against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Sunday leaves them seven points behind Manchester City, having played a game more.

    Wolves facing first bump in the road under Nuno

    First Julen Lopetegui came within a whisker of Molineux, before eventually taking over as Spain boss. Then Ruben Neves, FC Porto’s precociously talented midfielder and the youngest ever Champions League captain, joined the revolution.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic milestone proves how special he really is

    How fitting it was that on this weekend of all, when ageing legends rolling back the years became the theme, that Zlatan Ibrahimovic marked yet another milestone. The world was too busy watching on as 43-year-old Tom Brady won a seventh SuperBowl, his first with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on Sunday night, but earlier that day, at the San Siro, football’s own evergreen superstar was scoring his 500th club career goals in a 4-0 Serie A victory over Crotone.

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin rise shows Ancelotti’s worth to Everton

    When Marco Silva departed Everton in the first half of last season, it saw a bitter curtain brought down on yet another failed experiment at Goodison Park. The Toffees had been scratching around for a new identity after David Moyes left for Manchester United in the summer and 2013, and they were keen to develop from a hard-working, punch-above-your-weight kind of team they had become known as.

    Dele Alli and his Tottenham Hotspur career not finished yet

    It feels like a lifetime ago, but the initial jolt into form that Jose Mourinho’s arrival at Tottenham Hotspur triggered in Dele Alli has become rather ironic. Mauricio Pochettino had moulded a squad full of young, vibrant, technically gifted and hard working players, but there was a clear drop off at the club in his final months, both before and after a Champions League final defeat to Liverpool, of which Dele had become indicative.

    Newcastle win too little, too late for Steve Bruce

    It’s amazing what the return of Allan Saint-Maximin, the gradual lowering of expectations and a deepening sense of crisis have done for perspective at Newcastle United. Leeds United won at St James’ Park on Tuesday evening, ending their own run of three straight defeats while stretching their hosts’ wait for a league victory to nine games.

    Arsenal draw a line under expensive Mesut Özil saga

    His arrival was supposed to define an era but, instead, his exit did that. Mesut Özil has finally left the Arsenal building, through the back door and with absolutely no consequence for Mikel Arteta, his manager and one-time teammate.

    Model club Leicester in title hunt again

    They were nasty, aggressive and awkward, but they had to be because they were 5000/1 and nobody gave them hope. Leicester City started off the most politically seismic year in recent memory by giving the English football establishment a bloody nose and winning the title.

    Wayne Rooney retirement warrants more attention

    The news trickled through the airwaves and onto the Twittersphere but it really should have exploded. In fairness, there was a good reason why Friday’s announcement of the retirement of Wayne Rooney from football was so understated; it was the subtext to a bigger, more important development.
