Harry Maguire struck a stunning injury-time winner as Leicester City won 2-1 away at 10-man Southampton on Saturday. A drab encounter had looked set to end all square after Demarai Gray cancelled out Ryan Bertrand's fine opener on his 150th appearance for the Saints. But Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was shown a second yellow card for a clear dive in the penalty area with 13 minutes remaining and Leicester pushed on in search of a winner. It arrived from the right boot of England man Maguire in stoppage time as he drilled through a crowded area, beating the rooted Alex McCarthy low to his right. Southampton edged a dull first half, but Kasper Schmeichel kept out the only two shots on target with a pair of comfortable low parries from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Danny Ings. The hosts stepped up another gear followin...

Arsenal are finally on their way in the Premier League this season and the win should give them a huge boost in confidence ahead of next week's trip to Cardiff. Meanwhile, West Ham can hold their heads high after a battling performance but need to start churning out results. They head to Wolves next, with a midweek tie against AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup first up. Emery gets his first win as Arsenal manager but it was a hard fought game.

The Ivory Coast international was singled out for his performance in the Red Devils' defeat to Brighton but has hit back ahead of taking on Tottenham. Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has hit out at Gary Neville, claiming the former Red Devil's constant criticism of the current side is damaging the younger players. Neville was particularly critical of Bailly following United's defeat at the hands of Brighton on Sunday, claiming the Ivory Coast international is among a crop of centre-backs at Old Trafford that are not trustworthy enough to win a Premier League title. But ex-Villarreal centre-back Bailly has bitten back and urged those pundits who have previously represented the club to instead show support, particularly towards the more inexperienced players. “I think the criticism was a bit harsh, particularly from people who have played the game and have probably made mistakes themselves during their career," he told the  Daily Mirror . "As y...

Getty Images German winger has lost his place in Manchester City's starting line-up with Spanish boss insisting it is solely down to Benjamin Mendy's form Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola denied having any issue with Leroy Sane, despite the 22-year-old starting the new season on the bench. Sane was named PFA Young Player of the Year for 2017-18 after contributing 10 goals and 15 assists in City's Premier League title-winning campaign, but it was not enough to earn a place in Joachim Low's Germany team for the World Cup. The promising 22-year-old was expected to shine this term given the additional time off compared to many of his team-mates, but Guardiola was critical of his lack of defensive effort during pre-season. However, the City manager assured he has no lingering issues with Sane, who he feels is getting back to his previous levels, stating that he is only out of the line-up due to the excellent displays from left-back ...
