Kingsley Coman scored on his 50th Bundesliga appearance to help give Jupp Heynckes a homecoming to remember as Bayern Munich cruised to a 5-0 home win over Freiburg.
Back in charge for the fourth time, Heynckes encountered few troubles in guiding the champions back to winning ways as two first-half goals effectively put the result beyond doubt.
Sven Ulreich proved his value as Manuel Neuer s injury replacement with an important early save from Ryan Kent, with the Bavarian giants taking advantage through Julian Schuster s own goal.
The Freiburg captain became the first player in over 26 years to find his own net in successive Bundesliga matches and the error was compounded when Coman struck prior to the interval.
Thiago Alcantara wrapped up three points ju…
Sergio Ramos says the omission of former Real Madrid team-mate Iker Casillas from Julen Lopetegui s first Spain squad marks a new era .
Casillas, who left Madrid to join Porto in 2015, has been a mainstay of the Spanish national side since making his international bow in 2000, going on to record 167 appearances.
The 35-year-old captained the national team to triumphs in two consecutive European Championships and the 2010 World Cup, but, having seen his number one spot taken by David de Gea at Euro 2016, the veteran has now missed out on the squad for qualifying fixtures against Belgium and Lichtenstein.
And, despite saying it feels bizarre to join-up with a Spain group that does not include Casillas, Ramos believes the change represents the start of an exciting e…
According to a recent report from Sport, Spanish giants Barcelona have re-opened contract discussions with Adrien Rabiot. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has been with the club since back in 2012, and has been a France international since 2016. The 23 year old is said to be very interested in a move to the Nou Camp, as he prepares to leave his current club on a free transfer. Some fans have called the actions of Rabiot into question in regards to how he has gone about dealing with his transfer status.
Barca haven’t been shy about going after players with controversial histories in the past, but Rabiot could prove to be on another level. He’s certainly one of the most talented young midfielders in world football today but some are wondering whether or not he’ll even be …
Fulham missed the chance to move within a point of second-placed Leeds United as they were held to a goalless draw by Charlton Athletic, while fellow Championship promotion hopefuls Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 at home to Reading.
Third-placed Fulham went into the game having won their previous two league matches by a solitary goal but failed to find a way past Charlton, who secured manager Lee Bowyer on a new three-year contract earlier in the day.
Joe Bryan went close to giving the Cottagers the lead when he connected with Tom Cairney s pass and flashed a shot narrowly wide of Dillon Phillips goal midway through the first half.
Bowyer s men had chances of their own, and substitute Jonny Williams looked set to score the winner in a spell of late Addicks press…
data-mm-id=”_pdp7h0hil”>There's been a lot of talk about Baker Mayfield's physical stature recently. Beyond the inappropriate comments by an ESPN Radio host that led to his suspension yesterday, it also appears concerns about Mayfield's body makeup linger within the Browns organization too. According to Ian Rapoport, a big focus for the Browns going into next season is Mayfield's fitness level. Rapoport said the former Heisman trophy winner put on weight last offseason to try and "bulk up", which apparently cost him a step in 2019. An important focus for the #Browns heading into 2020: QB Baker Mayfield’s fitness and body makeup. From what I understand, he put on some weight last year to bulk up and lost some quickness. His plan is to be slimmer & fas…
