Barca humiliate another La Liga opponent

They supposedly don’t have a world-class traditional striker, yet after four games of the new La Liga season they have scored 16 goals. Six of them have come from the name of their “makeshift” number nine, Raphinha. Another ten have been shared among the rest of the squad. So the one thing Barcelona certainly don’t have is a finishing problem. They proved that again today at Mestalla, where they demolished Valencia 5:0 and, following Real Madrid’s defeat to Real Betis, moved clear at the top of La Liga. And judging by what we’ve seen from them so far, that’s exactly where they belong. Valencia conceded five, and could easily have shipped another five, just in the first half. Quite simply, there is no defence capable of stopping this Barca, and Raphinha is merely one of the cogs in a machine constantly lubricated by stars such as Lamine Yamal, Fermín Lopez, and new arrivals Anthony Gordon and Rodri, who made his first start today and immediately earned several rounds of applause from th..

Ex Gunner spoils United’s party

The first days after the transfer window closed in the blue half of Liverpool have been dominated by a wave of fan anger over what is widely considered to have been a disastrous transfer window by the club’s hierarchy, who left David Moyes with a rather limited squad. But, at least judging by today’s clash with Manchester United, perhaps that criticism has been a little excessive, because it was two of Everton’s new arrivals who twice brought them back from the dead and ultimately saved face at Hill Dickinson Stadium – 2:2 in the third round of the Premier League.First Tyrique George, who was already at the club last season but on loan from Chelsea, before Everton made his move permanent this summer for 21 million euros. And then Ainsley Maitland-Niles, signed in the final hours of deadline day for a modest 3,500,000 euros. What was particularly impressive was the way the hosts practically snatched those three points that had already seemed destined for United. George smashed the ball ..
