November 3, 2025 (updated November 3, 2025) Published by viviaopar

Erling Haaland scored a quick-fire brace as Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 3–1 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s men came into the game knowing that their title rivals had all won their matches 24 hours earlier.

Although they survived an early onslaught from the visitors, Haaland broke free to put City in front.

Bournemouth equalised after Tyler Adams bundled the ball home in the 25th minute.

But Haaland found the back of the net again as the former champions went into the break ahead.

Nico O’Reilly then drilled in the third goal for the hosts.

The result takes City up to second with 19 points, six behind leaders Arsenal.

Juventus Sack Igor Tudor After Winless Streak

October 27, 2025 (updated October 27, 2025) Published by viviaopar

Italian Serie A giants, Juventus have dismissed head coach Igor Tudor following a miserable run of form that has left the club winless in eight straight matches.

The Italian side made the announcement on Monday, confirming that reserve team coach Massimiliano Brambilla will temporarily take charge of the first team ahead of Wednesday’s Serie A clash with Udinese.

In a statement released by the club, Juventus said: “Juventus Football Club today announced that Igor Tudor is no longer the head coach of the first team. His coaching staff members Ivan Javorčić, Tomislav Rogić, and Riccardo Lanić also left their positions simultaneously.”

The club thanked the Croatian and his backroom staff for their “professionalism and dedication over the past few months,” adding that they wished them success in their future endeavours

Tudor’s departure comes in the wake of Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Lazio, which extended Juventus’ winless streak to eight games and deepened frustration among fans.

The result also marked the team’s third straight loss across all competitions, leaving them eighth in Serie A and struggling to stay afloat in the Champions League group stage, where they sit 25th.

The 46-year-old took over from Thiago Motta in March and managed 24 games, collecting 10 wins, eight draws, and six losses. His only notable highlight came early in the season when Juventus beat Inter Milan 1-0 on September 13, their most recent victory.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Luciano Spalletti, who guided Napoli to the Scudetto in 2023, is the frontrunner to replace Tudor on a permanent basis. Other names linked to the job include Roberto Mancini, Raffaele Palladino and former boss Thiago Motta, who remains under contract with Juventus until 2027 despite being sacked earlier this year.

Brambilla, who currently manages Juventus’ second team, will now be in the dugout when the Bianconeri host Udinese at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday.

EPL: ‘Oldest one’ – Maresca reveals why Tosin might not be happy at Chelsea

October 25, 2025 (updated October 25, 2025) Published by viviaopar

Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has revealed that Tosin Adarabioyo is unhappy due to a lack of game time despite being the oldest member of his squad.

The Italian gaffer spoke ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League match against Sunderland at the weekend.

Tosin, 28, happens to be the oldest outfield player at Stamford Bridge at the moment, yet he is not a guaranteed starter.

In his first season at the club, Tosin started fifteen of the 38 Premier League games contested by Chelsea.

This season, he has only played three games from the start

Maresca used both Estevao Willian and centre-back Tosin as examples as he tried to explain how competitive it is becoming at the club.

He said, “It’s with Estevao but it’s almost with all of them. It doesn’t matter the age because if you say to Tosin, who’s the oldest one, that he’s not going to play, he’s not happy.

So, it’s not about the age; it’s about the fact that when they don’t play, they are not happy. But again, they have to understand that they cannot play every game.”

Chelsea play Sunderland on Saturday, and with Levi Colwill and Benoît Badiashile unavailable for selection due to injuries, Tosin may be called upon to fill the gap.

Victor Osimhen Breaks Galatasaray Record With Stunning Brace Against Bodø/Glimt

October 22, 2025 (updated October 22, 2025) Published by viviaopar

Victor Osimhen’s unstoppable form in Europe reached new heights on Wednesday night as the Nigerian striker made Galatasaray history with a record-breaking performance in their UEFA Champions League clash with Bodø/Glimt.

Victor Osimhen struck twice in the opening half at Rams Park, extending his remarkable run of scoring in seven consecutive European matches, a feat no Galatasaray player has ever achieved.

ObasEmpire reports that the record had previously been held by Burak Yilmaz, who scored in six straight continental fixtures back in 2012.

Osimhen wasted no time making his mark, firing Galatasaray in front just three minutes into the game before adding his second in the 33rd minute. His goals not only sealed a vital Champions League victory but also etched his name into the club’s record books.

The 26-year-old’s scoring streak stretches back to last season’s Europa League campaign, where he found the net against Tottenham Hotspur, Dynamo Kyiv, Ajax, and AZ Alkmaar. This season, he has continued that form on Europe’s biggest stage, finding the back of the net against Liverpool before his double against Bodø/Glimt.

Since arriving in Istanbul, Osimhen has become the heartbeat of Okan Buruk’s side, his blend of power, pace, and precision endearing him to the Galatasaray faithful. His latest achievement not only confirms his status as one of Europe’s most feared forwards but also strengthens his growing legacy in Turkish football.

Note that at the time of writing this report, Galatasaray were beating Bodø/Glimt 3-1 with less than 8 regular minutes left to play.
