Guardiola hints at Manchester City summer sales

Guardiola admits it is difficult to keep unhappy players in the long term Pep Guardiola has hinted at a squad overhaul at Manchester City this summer. City clinched the Premier League title for the third time under the Spaniard, and could cap a memorable season with Champions League glory. Thoughts will then turn to the following campaign, and talks will take place with players who may be unhappy with their roles. What was said? “There are players that accept one typical situation in the team and there are other ones that don’t accept it,” Guardiola “When they don’t accept sometimes not playing, you can sustain that for one season - a short period - but not for a long period. It’s impossible. “In that position, we have to change. We’ll see at the end of the season. We...

Brighton draw dents West Ham’s top-four hopes

premier league, Sports
Said Benrahma cancelled out Danny Welbeck's strike to salvage a point for West Ham United as their hopes of finishing in the top four suffered a major setback at Brighton & Hove Albion.  West Ham looked the likelier scorers in the first half as two Pablo Fornals strikes were blocked and Tomas Soucek worked Robert Sanchez in the Brighton goal.  At the other end Alireza Jahanbakhsh was denied by the legs of Lukasz Fabianski and when he did beat the West Ham goalkeeper on 55 minutes his angled attempt went wide.  With six minutes remaining Welbeck latched on to Percy Tau's through-ball and dinked the ball over the advancing Fabianski to break the deadlock with his 50th Premier League goal. Substitute Benrahma responded with a curling strike in off the post on 8...

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang marked his first Premier League appearance for almost a month by scoring in a 2-0 victory at Newcastle United.

INTERNATIONAL, London, premier league
Arsenal went ahead on five minutes when the Gabonese striker mishit his shot and the ball fell invitingly for Mohamed Elneny, who fired in his first PL goal. Grant Xhaka's 29th-minute shot was tipped over by Martin Dubravka before Elneny's header was cleared off the line by Miguel Almiron from the resulting corner. The Gunners' pressure was rewarded on 66 minutes when Aubameyang acrobatically volleyed in a brilliant left-wing delivery from Gabriel Martinelli, meaning he has scored in five successive league matches versus Newcastle. Fabian Schar was sent off for a challenge on Martinelli late on as Arsenal moved up to ninth in the table on 49 points, five adrift of the top six. Newcastle remain 17th, nine points clear of the relegation zone with four matches remaining. S...

Ward-Prowse spot-on as 10-man Saints hold Leicester

premier league, Sports
Leicester City's hopes of strengthening their grip on third spot were frustrated by a resilient display from 10-man Southampton in a 1-1 draw at St Mary's Stadium. Southampton played 80 minutes at a numerical disadvantage following Jannik Vestergaard's 10th-minute red card for denying Jamie Vardy a goalscoring opportunity.
