Liverpool’s pale win, Haaland and Maresca for history books

Brentford had every reason to be happy before the Liverpool game. The Bees were fourth at the table, were above the Reds for the first time since 1938, and were unbeaten in the Premier League up to this match. But, one stupid decision cost them a big victory over an England giant. Deep in injury time, Ukrainian Yarmoliuk head-butted Liverpool defender Jacquet after one provocation, earning a red card in the process. It has to be said that the decision was a bit harsh but nevertheless, it was just the thing the Reds needed to avoid a defeat, and they used it.Nice goal from Isak🙌🌚 https://t.co/757i8lf8A4— Samuel Owusu Asamoah🇫🇷 (@BIG_SNIPEZ178) October 17, 2026 Apart from two goals in a 2-1 win, Liverpool created only two chances during the entire match.

Should Kenyan football adopt popular Tanzanian clubs trend to attract more fans?

At Azam Complex in Chamazi, Dar es Salaam, I watched a Ligi Kuu match and heard Ahmed Ally make a claim that was difficult to take literally. Simba’s attack, he suggested, was more dangerous than the El Niño floods that had been predicted to hit Tanzania.Download our Mozzart Sport app for more newsIt was an exaggeration, of course. That was precisely the point.Ally, Simba SC’s spokesman, understands that football is not always sold through team sheets, injury updates and match reports.
