Welbeck’s brace for another Liverpool defeat

The season is coming to an end slowly but surely and Liverpool is still showing no signs of stabilizing. The Reds’ last five games in all competition are a win, a defeat, a draw, a win and after today’s game in Brighton – a defeat. In a situation where three teams are fighting for the fourth spot in the league, Liverpool had to win against the Seagulls and the convincing 4-0 win over Galatasaray prior to that was a good prelude. But today, there were bad from start to finish and lost 2-1 completely deserved. The Seagulls scored two goals and in reality had at least two more excellent chances, while the Reds scored one after a mistake by Brighton’s Dunk, and had only two more chances, both which were saved by Verbruggen. Part of the problem was Liverpool’s toothless attack. Salah was out and Ekitike got injured after only five minutes. Alexander Isak is also sidelined while Gakpo is in terrible form and all that was too much for Liverpool. On the other side, Danny Welbeck is still playi..

Bayern’s president admits his Kane mistake

If you remember the drama surrounding the transfer of Harry Kane from Tottenham to Bayern Munich two and a half years ago, there quotes from the club’s main man will be interesting to you.
