Tottenham Hotspur got away with a win on Saturday, as they claimed a 2-1 victory over Brighton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in controversial style.

Frank Lampard’s return to Chelsea started in disaster, as the Blues were beaten 1-0 by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Lampard returned to Chelsea as interim manager in midweek following the sacking of Graham Potter.

Kyogo Furuhashi scored twice to seal a 3-2 win that puts Celtic twelve points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race.

The title isn't officially Celtics, but unofficially the Hoops […]

Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham changed the way soccer fans watch the sport.

After more than seven years in Major League Soccer, the Seattle Sounders finally cut ties with coach Sigi Schmid.

FC Dallas is the class of Major League Soccer in 2016, and the club has done it with few – if any – big named players.

Sebastian Giovinco has been left out of the Italy squad ahead of the 2016 European tournament. Of course, most US soccer fans know this since Major League Soccer has been up in arms over his omission, or at least Antonio Conte’s comments.
