Roy Keane thinks Trent Alexander-Arnold has been found out in midfield for England with Declan Rice having to babysit him.

England could have advanced as Group C winners had they beaten Denmark in Frankfurt but instead put in a .

Harry Kane had put Gareth Southgate’s side ahead only for Morten Hjulmand to level with a fine long-range strike as Denmark then enjoyed the better of proceedings.

It is a familiar pattern for , who have never won the opening two group games at a European Championship.

A goalless stalemate against Scotland at Euro 2020 was greeted with a similarly negative response after they were booed off the pitch against Denmark on Thursday.

Southgate took the decision to take off Alexander-Arnold on 54 minutes with the Liverpool s…

Emiliano Martinez said he was “not ready to go home” after producing two key penalty saves which earned Argentina a place in the semi-finals.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper saved from Ecuador’s Angel Mena and Alan Minda in a 4-2 penalty shootout win after Lionel Messi had missed Argentina’s first penalty. The match ended as a 1-1 draw in normal time.

“I wasn’t ready to go home,” said Martinez, who was full of praise for Ecuador.

“This team deserved to advance. They complicated us a lot. They played a great match, very physical. We knew they were one of the top rivals in Copa America.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni admitted he “did not enjoy the win”.

“Our goalkeeper came up clutch,” he said. “We have reached the semis and …

Brentford have apparently finally seen sense and realised that Ivan Toney is simply not an £80m striker, according to reports, leading them to considerably slash down his asking price only, none of that is actually new information at all.

The centre-forward, who returned from a gambling ban in January, had been the subject of supposed interest from some of the Premier League big boys after an impressive first two seasons in the top flight with

Signed from League One Peterborough United in 2020, Toney s 31 goals in 45 Championship outings helped Thomas Frank s side climb up to the Premier League in the striker s first season at the club.

Toney subsequently helped them stay there with a further 32 goals in 66 appearances before his eight-month suspension kicked …

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez could be on his way out of Anfield even though a swap deal to Newcastle United fell through, according to reports.

The Reds are looking for a new winger as new sporting director Richard Hughes looks to give Arne Slot the tools to be successful in his first year as Liverpool head coach after replacing Jurgen Klopp.

Widespread reports claimed that Liverpool attempted to do a deal for Anthony Gordon before the end of June as Newcastle attempted to sell some players to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

There were claims that interest from Liverpool left Gordon’s ‘head in a mess‘ and that a .

And Football Insider claim that Gomez was offered as part of a deal to take Gordon from Newcastle…

Club legend Roy Keane has identified two positions of concern for Manchester United heading into the 2024/25 Premier League season.

have been very busy in Sir Jim Ratcliffe s first summer at the club, spending £150million on four new players.

Joshua Zirkzee was their first signing of the summer, before Leny Yoro was brought in from Lille, brining the Red Devils spending up to £88m.

After weeks of negotiations with Bayern Munich, they reached an agreement to sign defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui over the weekend.

Ratcliffe is far from finished in the transfer market with a new defensive midfielder his top priority, while another attacker could also be signed.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte has been pursued over the…

Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah scored as Arne Slot’s first competitive home game in charge of Liverpool ended with a 2-0 win over Brentford.

Slot was given a warm welcome at Anfield and serenaded in the closing stages as his side made it two from two in the Premier League against Brentford, who left out Ivan Toney for the second week in a row.

With Liverpool owner John W Henry watching on, Diaz put the Reds ahead after 13 minutes from a dizzying breakaway, before Brentford captain Christian Norgaard missed a gilt-edged chance later in the half.

Salah then bagged his fifth goal in his last four games against the Bees in the 70th minute as the 32-year-old continued his fine start to the season, having also scored in last week’s win at Ipswich.

Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman says he will no longer consider Steven Bergwijn for selection after his move to Saudi Arabia.

Former winger Bergwijn completed a £21million transfer from Ajax to Al Ittihad on Monday – a switch Koeman claims is based on money.

“The book is basically closed to him,” said Koeman. “He knows what I think about this.

“When you are 26, your main ambition should be sporting, not financial. These are choices that players make.

“I have never been in that situation, because I could go to Barcelona. He could have stayed at Ajax. That’s not bad, is it? You have to respect that choice, but personally I wouldn’t [have moved to Saudi Arabia].”

Asked if Bergwijn had spoken to him before signing, Koeman�…

Paul Merson is adamant the Arsenal goal shouldn t have stood but Cristian Romero has been slammed for his role in Gabriel s winner on Sunday.

The Gunners were far from their best at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium but preyed on Spurs weakness from set pieces to claim all three points, with .

Spurs huffed and puffed in response but rarely troubled David Raya at the other end and limped to defeat.

Merson claimed Romero had to do better as Gabriel got the better of him from Bukayo Saka s corner, but also reckons the Argentinian was fouled by his fellow South American.

I would be disappointed if I didn t get a foul, Merson said on Sky Sports. (Romero) is in the wrong position, everything is wrong about his defending. He s an international centre-half.
