BREAKING : BrunoFernandes equals assist record as United beat Forest 3-2

Bruno Fernandes equalled the Premier League record of 20 assists in a season as Manchester United secured third place with a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest. Fernandes, who was recently crowned the football writers’ player of the season, moved alongside Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne when his cross was turned in by Bryan Mbeumo for United’s third goal. Mbeumo was also involved for the game’s most controversial moment when his handball in the build up to Matheus Cunha’s strike went unpunished despite a VAR review. Both sides had secured their principal targets in recent weeks with United set to return to the Champions League, while Forest only guaranteed survival last weekend. The low stakes made for a wide open contest that burst into life when Luke Shaw volleyed United i...

Major VAR mistake confirmed in Man City clash that could still decide Arsenal’s fate in Premier League title race

Manchester City were reportedly spared a potentially costly VAR decision during their dramatic 3-3 Premier League draw with Everton, in a controversy that could still impact the title race involving Arsenal.

However, the independent panel has reportedly concluded that the decision was incorrect, potentially carrying major consequences in the race for the Premier League title. Everton manager David Moyes criticised the decision after the game, saying: “If that doesn’t get given as...
