Gabriel Jesus headed the visitors into an early lead in the third minute but Arsenal hit back against the run of play through Alexandre Lacazette (31). However, the Gunners, who lost Gabriel Martinelli to injury just after half-time, were behind again in the 54th minute after goalkeeper Alex Runarsson let Riyad Mahrez's free-kick through his hands and into the net. Phil Foden added City's third (59) with a deft finish, despite replays suggesting he had strayed offside, before Aymeric Laporte's header (73) rounded off proceedings for Pep Guardiola's side, who are now 18 games without a defeat in the League Cup as they bid to win the competition for a fourth straight time.

  Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has been told to apologise to Mesut Ozil after freezing him out, by club legend Paul Merson. The Gunners are desperate for the points against Burnley on Sunday, after failing to win in their last four league games, three of which ended in defeats. Arteta’s side have suffered from a lack of creativity, scoring only 10 times in their opening 11 fixtures. Merson feels the solution is already within Arteta’s reach. “Arsenal could still be playing Tottenham now and they wouldn’t have scored a goal. “What can they do in January to fix it? Go and knock on Mesut Ozil’s door, say you’re sorry and you need him to play! “Arsenal were atrocious against Spurs. They never looked like scoring. Ozil’s getting £350,000-a-week and sitting at home while his team can’t score,” he told Daily Star.

  The incident happened on January 22, 2013 and involved a 22-year-old Albanian woman. Robinho was found guilty of committing sexual assault, alongside five other people. The 36-year-old along with a friend named Ricardo Falco, were sentenced following his role in the sexual assault as part of a group. Robinho at the time of the incident was playing for AC Milan in Serie A. In October, Robinho signed for boyhood club Santos , but saw his contract terminated four days later due to public outcry. During that time, one of Santos’ sponsors ended their link with the Brazilian club “out of respect for women.” Before joining Milan, Robinho played for Real Madrid and Manchester City and won 100 caps for Brazil, scoring 28 goals.

Arsenal have won just four of their opening 11 Premier League matches this term, leaving them 15th in the table, The Gunners have also scored just ten goals, the fourth-lowest effort in the top flight. And star men including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Willian, and Alexandre Lacazette are struggling for confidence in an ever-changing tactical system. Edu is now said to be considering sacking Arteta if he continues to fall flat over the Christmas period. Indeed, the Spaniard is reported by Calciomercato to have just three league games to save his job. That means Arteta will have to find result

  When Ben Chilwell arrived at Chelsea in the summer it was obvious that he was always going to be the first choice left-back. The England international has made an excellent start in west London after his £50million move from Leicester City. However, the debate would be over who could be his back-up, with Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri being the main options. Lampard also went to club captain Cesar Azpilicueta last season to play in the role, with the Blues boss not wholly satisfied with his choices. At the beginning of the 2020/21 campaign, Chilwell was recovering from an injury, so the space was up for grabs. Lampard went for Alonso, with the Spaniard starting in the role for the opening three Premier League matches. However, it was that third one where he lost his spot. The Blues were 3-0 down at West Brom and Alonso had a shocker, so Lampard took him off and replaced him with Azpilicueta.

  Nigerian billionaire Orji Kalu wants to buy a huge stake in Arsenal and "bring trophies back" to the Emirates.  The 60-year-old is looking to purchase 35 per cent of the Gunners having made his fortune as a senator, businessman and newspaper owner. Arsenal can no longer compete financially with the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. And that has been a factor in their lack of success with their last Premier League title coming in 2004. Since then trophies have been few and far between, but Kalu wants to change that. He has previously helped a club dominate domestically having taken over Nigerian club Enyimba FC. "Our success with Enyimba FC between 2000-07 has continuously increased my passion for football," said Kalu. "As the pillar of sports in Africa, I am considering an investment in football and I will buy 35 per cent stake in Arsenal FC. “Our target is to lift the Champions League and EPL, and valuable investment as well.  “Doing what you

  Mike Tyson has spoken openly about his addiction to recreational drugs during his fighting career, which led to him using a prosthetic penis in order to pass anti-doping tests Mike Tyson has revealed he passed drug tests during his fighting career by using a fake penis called a “Whizzinator” - which contained clean urine from his wife or baby. Tyson was subjected to stringent drug testing in his heyday, although anti-doping agencies have become much more attentive since his retirement in 2005. Throughout his career, ‘Iron’ Mike dabbled in his fair share of recreational drugs - specifically cannabis - which he has spoken openly about in recent years. And the former undisputed heavyweight champion went to great lengths to avoid getting caught before a fight. When asked to provide urine samples, he would wear a prosthetic penis called a “Whizzinator” to in order to hand over a clean specimen. The Whizzinator would be filled with urine from either his wife or baby, which allowed him to p

  Andrea Pirlo wasn't overly happy with his Juventus players despite a 4-1 win over Ferencvaros in the Champions League.  A brace from Alvaro Morata and a goal from Paulo Dybala steered the Bianconeri into a comfortable lead, before Lasha Dvali put the ball into his own net.  The hosts hit back through Franck Boli late on, but it proved nothing more than a consolation "I am satisfied with the result, but we could have done much better in terms of the game," Pirlo told Sky Sports, per  The Sun.  "We made many superficial mistakes … it was important to get a result, but obviously we need to improve. I am someone who talks a lot with the players, then they go on the pitch and the choices are theirs. "But it is important that these choices are right: we need to be less selfish and close games earlier." Pirlo was a perfectionist on the pitch and it's no surprise that he expects the same high standards of his subordinates on it.  Messi slammed for his 'de

 Juventus   travel to Hungary to take on Champions League underdogs Ferencvaros on Wednesday evening, a week after a disappointing home defeat to Barcelona added misery to an already inconsistent season. Andrea Pirlo is still trying to get to grips with his squad as they defend the Serie A title and try to push for some much longed for European success, but things haven't gone at all to plan so far. Defeat to La Blaugrana leaves Juve on three points after two games; at a glance, that isn't an issue, but anything less than a win on Wednesday and suddenly they could be in big trouble. They got back to winning ways at the weekend with a 4-1 thrashing of Spezia, however, and Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the side will have no doubt lifted spirits upon the impending return to Champions League football. With three points an absolute must, here's how the Old Lady should line up. 1.  Goalkeeper & Defenders Wojciech Szczesny (GK)  - He dropped out at the weekend so Gianluigi

With the score 1-1, he latched onto a pass from Alvaro Morata and rounded the keeper before slotting the ball in the back of the net Ronaldo celebrated his goal in trademark fashion - belting out "Siiiii" inside the empty Stadio Alberto Picco Adrien Rabiot scored eight minutes after Ronaldo's goal to make it 3-1 following Morata's opener. The Portuguese superstar then added his second when he converted an outrageous penalty in the 76th minute. The defending Italian champions move to second in th

Pep Guardiola ruled out ever taking charge of Barcelona for a second spell as the Manchester City boss insisted he retains the “desire” to succeed in England. Guardiola is the most decorated coach in Barca’s glorious history after winning 14 trophies in four years in charge between 2008 and 2012. Josep Maria Bartomeu finally bowed to pressure to resign as president of the Catalan giants this week, with one of the leading candidates to take over, Victor Font, saying he wants to bring legends like Guardiola and his former players Xavi and Carles Puyol back to work for the club. “I said many times, my period as a manager in Barcelona is over. I think in life there is once you have to do things,” Guardiola said after City’s 1-0 win over Sheffield United on Saturday. “There are incredible people who can be in charge, now for example (Barcelona coach) Ronald Koeman is an excellent manager. It is over.”   x A boyhood Barca fan, Guardiola also enjoyed an illustrious playing career at the Camp
