When Sunderland were awarded a penalty following Ezri Konsa's impromptu wrestling match with Dan Ballard, it felt like a massive opportunity to break the deadlock against the notoriously watertight Gunners as Enzo Le Fée lined up his spot kick against David Raya.
There was little wrong with the Frenchman's attempt — firmly struck and aimed towards the corner — but the Spaniard made a superb save to deny Le Fée his second success from twelve yards inside a week. And when everyone's favourite villain Bruno Guimaraẽs duly fired a venomous dipping shot past Robin Roefs barely minutes later, it felt like the classic one-two punch and it ultimately defined the game.
Sunderland more than held their own in this contest; we looked sharp, combative and were able to fashion a number of decent chances against the defending champions, but the finishing touch eluded the Lads on this occasion and that somehow made the loss even more frustrating.
We know we're capable of giving the league's big guns a run for their money on any given day, and occasionally emerging victorious, but during what could easily be a "difficult second season", we need to find ways to bridge the gap and to continue to eke out points from tricky positions.
A disappointing outcome. The 0-2 scoreline might've felt slightly harsh and Reinildo's late red card was a sickener, but the way the game panned out wasn't entirely unexpected, given ******* nal's current status and Sunderland's ongoing attempts at evolution.

Bruno Guimaraes's brilliant first ***** nal goal and David Raya's penalty save inspired the Gunners to a 2-0 victory at Sunderland on Saturday to extend a flawless start to their Premier League ***** le defence.
Mikel Arteta's men have conceded just once in five games in all competitions but Sunderland had the chance to breach ***** nal's imposing rearguard when Raya tipped Enzo Le Fee's spot-kick onto the post.
Just over two minutes later Guimaraes silenced the Stadium of Light as the Brazilian smashed into the top corner from outside the box.
Bukayo Saka's penalty sealed the victory with the final kick of the game after Sunderland defender Reinildo saw a second yellow card for taking down the England international.
Despite the victory Arteta was still seething after the game at the award of Sunderland's penalty for Ezri Konsa's pull on Dan Ballard.

Arsenal made it four wins from four in the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats played a gritty, physical game, but the Gunners gave as good as they got, and battled to the win. With a massive ***** ist from David Raya saving a, uh, generously awarded penalty that would have made it 1-0 for the bad guys. Minutes later, Bruno Guimaraes put one top bins. Raya made another brilliant save later in the half. Deep in added time, Bruno put Bukayo Saka in on goal, earning a penalty and second yellow to Reinildo. Penalty converted. Game over.
The Sunderland crowd greeted Bruno with a chorus of boos when he replaced Myles Lewis-Skelly at halftime. They take their rivalry with Newcastle seriously. Unfortunately, it was very much a "keep booing, it only makes me stronger" moment. You could see from the little smile on Bruno's face that he was loving it and using it to fuel him. His "I can't hear you" celebration to the crowd after he'd put one on postage stamp was absolute perfection.
Great call from Mikel Arteta to pull Myles Lewis-Skelly at the break. Everything was off from him — poor touches, cheap fouls — it simply wasn't his night. The manager also had to swap Jurrien Timber for Ben White, who appeared to have tweaked his groin. Because when ***** nal get one right back healthy, the other gets injured. That's how it works. Timber was excellent, by the way.
The ***** nal subs that came on later in the second half, Eze, Merino, and Zubimendi, were mediocre to poor. The depth is tremendous but Mikel Arteta has his work cut out for him to keep everyone sharp so that when they are called into action they don't, say, give the ball away the only two times they get on it like Merino did today.
The Gunners could have and should have been ahead at halftime, but once again, they were profligate with scoring chances. Bukayo Saka was caught in two minds on a leaping volley and only managed glancing contact. Kai Havertz shot over the bar from in close. The German striker also forced a smart save with a brilliant control, turn, and volley move. Saka also flubbed two chances in the second half — he picked the wrong pass on a 4-on-2 break and he shot too close to the keeper. The side could do with a bit better finishing, but if you believe (as I generally do) that finishing ebbs and flows, as long as they keep generated the volume of chances, someone is in for a real hiding.

Diego Moreira admits he needed a little more time to adapt to Serie A and Milan after scoring twice against Lazio, but Mario Gila confessed their 'first half was honestly disastrous.'
This was a truly chaotic encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, as Lazio had been leading comfortably 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin.

The Rossoneri made a triple substitution for the second half, and it paid off, as Diego Moreira scored twice in 120 seconds to level the result.
Christian Pulisic also impressed on his season debut after a microfracture at the World Cup, with his fellow USMNT player Yunus Musah also making an impact.

Ligue 1 McDonald's, Matchday 4, 11/09/26
Adrien Thomasson's second-half goal is enough for Rennes to secure a third straight win to go top of Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Bruno Genesio's Marseille woes deepened with a third consecutive loss.
The Match
Marseille returned to Rennes' Roazhon Park for the first time since the infamous dressing room brawl between Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe. So much has changed since for Les Phocéens, including the manager with Bruno Genesio making his return in Brittany after coaching Les Rouge et Noir between 2021 and 2023. Both teams were on opposite momentums. Rennes were targeting top spot whereas Marseille looked to avert a third straight Ligue 1 loss.
Still, Marseille put on a good show in the first half, playing with the handbrake off but without losing team structure. Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg pulled the strings from midfield, and Marseille's wide men put Rennes on the backfoot. Up front, the hosts were toothless. The attackers looked like they played together for the first time, leaving Estéban Lepaul in no man's land.

2,745 is a pretty substantial figure, and fortunately, it's one Roma will no longer need to dwell on. That was the number of days between their last Champions League game, against Porto in 2019, and Thursday's clash with Fenerbahçe upon their return to the competition.
Roma claimed a 1-1 draw away from home, going ahead via Bryan Cristante before Archie Brown equalised for the hosts.
So, what were the numbers that stood out from the game?
As in the number of Champions League debutants Roma had on the pitch, including three in their starting lineup. Of course, everyone except Cristante, a veteran of the 2018-19 season, was playing in the Champions League for Roma for the first time. But Gianluca Mancini, Manu Koné and Wesley were newcomers to the competition altogether. So were substitutes Niccolò Pisilli and Rodrigo Mora, who were aged 14 and 11 respectively when Roma last played a Champions League fixture.
As it happens, the last time Roma had five Champions League debutants in the same game was against Atlético Madrid in September 2017, when Alisson Becker, Bruno Peres, Juan Jesus, Grégoire Defrel and Lorenzo Pellegrini made their bows in Europe's premier competition. The only time Roma have had more Champions League debutants on the pitch in a single game was their first game in the competition in 2001.

Unlike many of his players, Michael Carrick has personal experience of the special nights at Old Trafford in the Champions League. This was scarcely one of them, but if Carrick had compiled a list of things he wanted from the evening, this must have ticked nearly every box. A perfect night? "Yeah, I think so," he said.
The fixture list made it a low-key comeback to the Champions League but Carrick was able to rest four players ahead of the Manchester derby, take off five more and chalk up a comfortable win. "Some of the football we played was really good," said Carrick. "We just did a lot of good things." Some players benefited. Matheus Cunha, who was fortunate to avoid a late red card for a studs-up challenge on Erivaldo Almeida, surely needed his first goal of the season. Benjamin Sesko marked his first start of the campaign with a second goal in a week.
Bruno Fernandes was instrumental as United put four past Sabah (Reuters)
In a sense, though, the most meaningful goal came from Bruno Fernandes. The captain was nominated for the Ballon d'Or even after a campaign when United were not in any continental competition. He showed a loyalty to United during their European exile. More than any other player, he dragged them back into the Champions League. It was fitting he scored on their return. Fernandes being Fernandes, it was also typical he was not among the rested or the removed.
Carrick has rarely needed to rotate since he took charge. Given this season's greater workload, this was something of a learning exercise. Patrick Dorgu played left-back for the first time under Carrick, excelled in attack and played a part in the first two goals, but revealed defensive deficiencies. Noussair Mazraoui, brought back in for Diogo Dalot, seemed to have a point to prove and looked lively going forward. A fit-again Mason Mount made a belated first appearance of the campaign in the second half. Andrey Santos, dropped after his ill-fated debut at Hull, got the final half-hour. The youngsters Harry Amass and Shea Lacey appeared for the last 20 minutes.

HAMDEN - Matt Witteman performed as you would expect from one of Connecticut's top returning quarterbacks Thursday night - he accounted for all five of Law's touchdowns.
And if the Lawmen can provide more defensive efforts like they did against Hamden, then they will be tough to beat. Law forced four turnovers in the 36-0 win over the Green Dragons in an SCC football game at Joe Bruno Field.
"We have really high expectations for this defense, so we were just expecting to do really good this week and that's what we did," said Alex Konilan, who had a fumble recovery for Law.
Law forced three turnovers in the third quarter alone, leading to 14 points - two touchdown runs by Witteman for 20 and 2 yards, respectively.
"The defense was on fire today," Witteman said. "Offensively, we started out a little bit slow, but the defense was right there to pick us up. We have a lot of trust in them and we believe in them, so for them to come through and just pick us up when we're down, it's huge for us."

Millwall host Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, with the Magpies looking to build on an unbeaten start under new head coach Matthias Jaissle against a Championship side finding some form of their own.
Alex Neil's Lions arrive full of confidence after thrashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 at The Den at the weekend, while Newcastle sit seventh in the Premier League having drawn two of their opening three matches.
Jaissle replaced Eddie Howe as Newcastle's head coach in August and has overseen an unbeaten start despite the summer departures of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon. He has already been warned about the atmosphere awaiting him at The Den, joking he will be "protected" in his technical area, and is still weighing up how far to rotate his side with a demanding run of fixtures ahead. Tuesday's tie will be the first meeting between the two clubs since 1993, when Newcastle won 2-1.
Date: Tuesday, 8 September 2026Kick-off: 20:00 BSTVenue: The DenReferee: Craig PawsonLast meeting: Newcastle United 2-1 Millwall (April 1993, League Division One)
Millwall have a lengthy absentee list of their own, with Josh Coburn, Casper De Norre, Tristan Crama, Ryan Leonard, Mihailo Ivanovic and Mathis Servais all out through injury. Alex Neil is expected to make changes from the side that thrashed Bolton, with Danny Batth, Jake Cooper and Elkan Baggott possible inclusions in defence and Lyndon ***** s handed a chance to lead the line.

HAVANA, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Cuba's top diplomat said on Monday there are no talks underway with the United States, nor were there any plans for future negotiations, amid a "genocidal" blockade that Cuba says has cost the island nation over $8 billion in economic damages in the last year.
"There are no negotiations or agendas, although a willingness to stay in contact remains despite the lack of progress," Cuba's foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, told reporters at a press conference in Havana.
Rodriguez said that damages caused by the decades-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba had jumped 7 percent in 2025 versus the previous year, to $8.1 billion.
Cuba's foreign minister said the financial hit to Cuba`s economy would balloon in the first months of 2026, after the Trump administration imposed an oil blockade on the island that has all but decimated output and led to nationwide blackouts that now span days.

Manchester United fell short of securing all three points on Merseyside on Sunday. Everton pulled out two screamers in the final minutes to equalize twice against Michael Carrick's Reds in what could easily have been a second straight win. Instead, it's a third match in a row conceding two goals and more to ponder going forward about the defensive approach.
The Reds looked the better side for much of the contest. A first half of positive wing play did not produce many chances despite the exciting options up front. The best looks at goal came on a try for the spectacular by Bruno Fernandes and a ball across the box by Marcus Rashford.
Matheus Cunha was the one who got on the end of the ball from Rashford, but he sent the chance well over the target with his shot form the edge of the box.
United got on the scoresheet right after the restart though. After emerging from the dressing room at 0-0, Bryan Mbeumo got an opportunity to cut inside and fire past Jordan Pickford in the 46th minute. It was a low effort that beat the England No. 1 to his right side.
It appeared that the goal could spark a second-half flurry, but Everton settled in and began a long push for an equalizer. Senne Lammens was called to action a handful of times without the Blues finding a clear look at goal, and United's only real threat to double the lead came from another bit of Rashford magic. He skipped through the defense and somehow maintained the balance and poise to heel the ball to Cunha centrally, but James Tarkowski got a foot through the Brazilian's legs to poke the ball away before he could fire.

Gian Piero Gasperini feels the late victory over Atalanta means Roma 'really believe' and have more options off the bench. 'The quality has increased.'
It was turning into an extremely frustrating evening for the Giallorossi, who dominated the match at the Stadio Olimpico without making any of it count, trailing to an Ederson strike against the run of play.
After several Marco Carnesecchi saves, and Santiago Castro hitting the woodwork twice, they finally made their mark in added time.
First the looping Mario Hermoso header went in off the inside of the far post from a corner, then Matias Soulé drilled into the near bottom corner for a 2-1 victory.

Arsenal will welcome Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday afternoon as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a narrow 1-0 win away at Aston Villa recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.
Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a couple of changes to his first XI for this clash. Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa could both play from the start of this game.
David Raya will operate in between the sticks for the Gunners after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Ezri Konsa will play alongside Gabriel at the centre of Arteta's defence as they look to keep a good shape when defending inside his half.
Ben White will try to put in a good performance as the right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori hopes to prove his value on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Piero Hincapie will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (16:30pm BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Speaking about not signing another forward during the transfer window, Arteta said: "I love the players that we have, that is for sure. It is what it is, this is what we have and we already have some very, very good players. Let's trust them and let's make sure we are right behind them, and I will do everything we can to help the incredible talent that we have."
In May, Arteta called on ***** nal to be "very ambitious, very fast and very smart" this summer and when asked if he thinks that has happened, he replied: "One hundred per cent ticked. The outcome after can be different to what you expect, but the intention was certainly there which is what I value most."
Bruno Guimaraes is being ***** sed after picking up a knock against Aston Villa, but Arteta expects him to be "ok for training" on Saturday.

Beyond the defeat to AS Monaco last Sunday, it was a bad way for Olympique de Marseille, who lost two players to injury. Geoffrey Kondogbia suffered a muscular injury and, as confirmed by Bruno Genesio, won't be fit to face Paris FC this weekend.
Tochukwu Nnadi sustained a more serious injury. The Nigerian only came on at half-time but did not see out the match. He withdrew with what looked to be a serious knee injury. An ACL injury was feared. The injury is indeed serious, and it is suspected that it is an ACL. Speaking to La Provence, Nnadi's agent revealed that many consultants advised immediate surgery.
However, he has opted against surgery in order to ensure a quicker return. "We are aware of the risks. We know that he could feel pain. We know that it won't be easy, but it is Nnadi's decision," said his agent, who added that the midfielder "could not abandon OM at such a time".
Genesio is lacking options in midfield. Speaking on Friday, he revealed that he had tested full-back Ulisses Garcia in the position.

It is safe to say that Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes is enjoying a fantastic week. Fresh from lifting the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, the Portuguese maestro delivered a masterclass against Ipswich Town last Sunday in the 5-2 Premier League win.
Fernandes scored a hat-trick and picked up an ****** ist to help the Red Devils secure a blistering comeback victory. That saw him win the club's Player of the Match award, as well as the Premier League's Player of the Matchweek award.
The 31 year old is also in the running for Premier League's Player of the Month award for August. Should he triumph in that race, it will be his seventh win, equalling the current record held by Mohamed Salah, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane.
Fernandes registered a league-record 21 ****** ists last season as United finished third, winning the Premier League Player of the Season and the FWA Player of the Year awards. The five-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year recently sat down with the club's media to discuss an array of topics, including a viral moment from the Ipswich game.

Premier League clubs have smashed their summer transfer record with over £3.3bn spent. More than half of the Premier League's clubs broke their transfer records in a summer window featuring four of the top flight's five most expensive ever deals.
Manchester City completed the biggest deal on the final hours of the window by singing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for £125m, while Liverpool paid £120m for Bradley Barcola, Chelsea made Morgan Rogers their record signing for £117m and Tottenham also broke the £100m barrier by recruiting midfielder Sandro Tonali.
City were the biggest spenders overall with around £435m paid in transfer fees, followed by Chelsea (£349.8m) and Tottenham (£315m). Chelsea recouped the most in sales (£385m) with Aston Villa also receiving more than £300m in transfer fees after selling six of the players who started last season's Europa League final.
But who got value in the market or which club is now fearing the worst? Here's how every club rated at the end of another hectic transfer window:
Ins: Bruno Guimaraes (£75m), Ezri Konsa (£51m), Piero Hincapie (£45m), Christos Tzolis (£34m), Illan Meslier (free), Elijah Upson (free), Igor Tyjon (undisclosed fee), James Scanlon (undisclosed fee)

Manchester United looked very good in the second half against Ipswich Town on Sunday, but the side's goals did not come from the forward line. Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo were the driving force behind the three goals, with the captain recording his first hat-trick in five years.
The front three of Matheus Cunha at striker and Marcus Rashford and Bryan Mbeumo on the flanks did not look poor. Cunha **** isted Bruno's first goal and Mbeumo finished an odd chip for the fifth and final goal, meanwhile Rashford had two excellent chances denied by the goalkeeper and last-ditch defending. There was balance, but it was still evidently a solution to a personnel problem.
Amad's preseason injury made the right wing options limited to Mbeumo, despite the Cameroonian's emergence as a good No. 9 option this season. Benjamin Sesko missed the entire preseason but has been fit enough to make appearances off the bench. Cunha, who typically played on the left last season, played as a No. 9 for Brazil at the World Cup and fit there with Rashford as a natural option on the left.
The options aren't bad for Michael Carrick to choose from. All three players have been flexible positionally in their careers and offer a balance of qualities. Rashford looked particularly comfortable playing with Luke Shaw again and he made a good effort out of possession to stay involved as well. He didn't get the goal his performance might have deserved, but overall it was a good homecoming.
Cunha was the only real odd fit, operating similarly to Bruno Fernandes and dropping into similar areas. It allowed the No. 10 to make good runs beyond the striker, but Cunha's lack of striker presence was felt at times, especially in the first half.

Football insider HandofArsenal reports that both Bruno Guimaraes and former Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa are part of the travelling squad to face Villa on Monday night.
The same source adds that it remains to be seen whether the pair will be included in the matchday squad list, in the starting lineup or on the bench. But at the very least, that possibility hasn't yet been ruled out.

Matthias Jaissle, by his own admission, "likes challenges" and this was certainly a big one to take on.
Saturday was exactly 30 days since predecessor Eddie Howe oversaw what proved to be his final match in charge, a sobering 4-1 friendly defeat by Bristol City, before stepping down.
Newcastle had sold Sandro Tonali. Anthony Gordon had left for Barcelona. Captain Bruno Guimaraes' sights were set on a move to ***** nal.
The start of the season was also rapidly approaching.
Newcastle have made further additions since then, but only one of their seven summer signings, Nico Gonzalez, has previously played in the Premier League.

Michael Olise really does nothing like anyone else, as shown by this very unusual warm-up.
With a hat-trick and an ****** ist, Bruno Fernandes delivered a huge performance to lead Manchester United to their first win of the season against Ipswich.
So here's your chance to (re)discover his masterclass on video.

Arsenal travel to Villa Park on Monday looking to continue a perfect start to the season, having won the Community Shield and beaten Coventry City 3-0 in their Premier League opener without conceding.
Mikel Arteta's side could become the first in the club's 140-year history to win five consecutive opening away fixtures of a Premier League season.
Jurrien Timber remains out with a groin issue, and William Saliba is a long-term absentee with a back problem. Bruno Guimaraes has a minor groin issue of his own but Arteta has not ruled him out of contention. New signing Ezri Konsa, who joined this summer from Villa, is available to face his former club but is expected to start on the bench given ******* nal's settled defensive pairing.
David Raya is set to continue in goal behind a back four of Ben White, Gabriel Magalhães, Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori. Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard are expected to anchor midfield, with Martín Zubimendi the likely third member of the trio ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis, both of whom Arteta has used in wide areas that double as auxiliary full-back cover, are set to support Kai Havertz in attack, with both players having scored or contributed directly to goals in the win over Coventry.
