Kyra Cooney-Cross, Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord share their resolve to win domestic honours and World Cup highlights “When you see people giving everything they’ve got, you can’t help but be like: ‘I want to watch more, I want to support you, I want to back you,’” says the Arsenal full-back Steph Catley. “That’s what [fans] see in our team. Especially towards the end of last year, knowing how much we’d been through, losing so many of our teammates to injury, seeing we were absolutely giving everything – you can’t help but love a team that does that.” Arsenal are back on Sunday, playing Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in their opening WSL game with a crowd of more than 50,000 expected, ready to continue carrying a new fanbase with them on the next phase of their journey.

* US private equity firm Dynasty Equity pays about $100m-$200m * Money used to pay off debt and will not go into January transfers Fenway Sports Group has sold a minority stake in Liverpool to the US private equity firm Dynasty Equity. The deal ends FSG’s search for investment and will be used to pay off debts. FSG and Dynasty, an investment firm that specialises in buying minority stakes in sports franchises, have not revealed the financial details of the deal but it is in the region of $100m-$200m (£82m-£164m). The investment does not equate to a “transfer war chest” for the manager, Jürgen Klopp. It will pay down bank debt incurred during the pandemic, capital expenditure on the new Anfield Road stand, the new Axa training centre and the repurchase of Melwood training ground, and acquisitions in the recent transfer window.

* Former Spain manager has been summoned to appear in court * Vilda appeared to back Luis Rubiales amid World Cup fallout The former coach of Spain’s women’s football team, Jorge Vilda, has been put under investigation as the country’s highest criminal court continues to look into Luis Rubiales’s unsolicited kiss. On Wednesday the court said that Vilda, who was sacked less than a month after La Roja won the World Cup, had been summoned to appear in court on 10 October. The statement did not detail why Vilda is being investigated. Continue reading...

A full-throated appreciation of an opposition manager before kick‑off is rare, and even rarer before a competitive match, the result of which – a late 2-1 defeat of England by the Netherlands – could prove incredibly important to Olympic qualification and Euro 2025 seeding. Sarina Wiegman’s homecoming was not pretty, for her or England, with a lack of VAR helping to punish England’s profligacy, gifting the Dutch an offside opener. However, this was a result that had been coming, England have been winning ugly and in Utrecht their luck ran out. Continue reading...

* All Russian teams barred since invasion of Ukraine last year * Aleksander Ceferin rules out further softening of ban Uefa has decided to end its blanket ban on Russian teams by allowing the country’s under-17 sides into its competitions from this season. All Russian teams, at club and international levels, have been barred from Uefa events since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But plans are being drawn up to partially relax those rules and allow minors to compete, using the justification that children should not be punished for the actions of adults. Continue reading...

Since taking over Chelsea, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have spent so much money trying to emulate a certain Premier League club on the south coast that it’s a wonder they didn’t just buy Brighton in the first place. They hired Brighton’s manager and his team of five backroom staff, just two of whom – a goalkeeping coach and data analyst – are still at the club just over a year on. They bought Marc Cucurella, followed more recently by Robert Sánchez and Moisés Caicedo from Brighton, as well as poaching the Seagulls’ head of player recruitment. In all, Chelsea have contributed more than £220m to the Brighton war chest in the past 13 months – the cost of more than two Amex Stadiums, 84 Kaoru Mitomas or 44,000,000 consecutive goes on “the speed demon of Brighton Palace Pier” that is the Turbo Coaster (minimum height: 1m 03cm).

Exclusive: document shows rights to national teams, A-Leagues and data of all football participants, including children, was part of possible deal Football Australia explored selling off rights to the Matildas, Socceroos and the A-Leagues for 99 years in what would have been an unprecedented privatisation of football in Australia, Guardian Australia can reveal. The deal could have also involved commercialising the data of all Australian football participants, including children as young as four, in a proposal that raised significant privacy concerns.

* Rice could play at weekend after being withdrawn against Spurs * Host of players likely to be rested for midweek Carabao Cup tie Arsenal have been given a welcome lift with the news that Declan Rice’s injury is not serious. The midfielder was withdrawn at half-time in the draw with Tottenham on Sunday but is understood to have experienced a back spasm and hopes to be back for the visit to Bournemouth on Saturday. It will be a relief for Mikel Arteta, who admitted it was “strange” to see a player of Rice’s robustness have to be substituted. His replacement, Jorginho, made the error that led to Son Heung-min’s second goal, but Rice should now have the chance to build on his impressive start to the campaign since arriving from West Ham.

A first-half goal from Cyriel Dessers proved enough for Rangers to see off Motherwell 1-0 but the visitors did not relinquish their long unbeaten record on the road without a major fight. Dessers netted against the run of play in the 24th minute when he diverted Rabbi Matondo’s strike past the Motherwell goalkeeper, Liam Kelly. Rangers had chances to extend their lead but there were several anxious moments for the home support in the latter stages as Oli Shaw and Blair Spittal in particular came close. Continue reading...

It all seemed so sedate for Manchester City against Nottingham Forest. They were two goals ahead and Rodri, the man who makes them tick in midfield, was his cerebral self until he erupted with anger to get sent off for violent conduct within 60 seconds of the second half beginning. City had one player fewer for nearly an entire half but the result was never in doubt thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. It will, however, leave Pep Guardiola to ponder the cost of losing Rodri for three matches, including a trip to Arsenal. Continue reading...

There is no let-up in his extreme workload despite an achilles problem that dampened the end to last season still lurking There was something cute, and apt, and agreeably Deep Arsenal about the fact Bukayo Saka scored the club’s first goal back in the Champions League on Wednesday night, a moment of ceremonial coming-out for this Mikel Arteta iteration, with a slightly bobbled right-foot shot. The Emirates Stadium was built to house these occasions, finessed and overseen by the great Euro-moderniser Arsène Wenger. Even its design feels like an economist’s idea of a sporting cathedral, with its echoes of the steel and glass mega-structures of the City of London two miles to the south. Continue reading...

Replacement for Hansi Flick has little time and few friendlies but win over France suggests potential exists for improvement Germany want “to take an approach that isn’t typical for a crisis”, says Julian Nagelsmann. After months and even years of stodge and with a home tournament on the horizon, the new coach is right to assume that patience and back-to-basics aren’t on the menu. Before hosting Euro 2024 Germany, it seems, just want to have fun. This should be music to the ears of a nation of football fans turned off their national team not just by lacklustre displays – and successive failures at World Cup 2018, Euro 2020 and the latest World Cup – but by disorganisation and dispute within the Deutscher Fussball-Bund (DFB), the game’s governing body. Germany exited the 2022 World Cup at the group stage but already it was as if the tournament wasn’t happening back home, with few public screenings – reflective of antipathy about the hosts Qatar among fans but also of the squad’s perce

Player had competed in more than 100 games for the club, where she was also a marketing executive Tributes have been paid to Maddy Cusack, a Sheffield United footballer, who has died at the age of 27. Cusack had played for the women’s team since 2019, making more than 100 appearances for the club. She also worked for the club as a marketing executive. Continue reading...

Salah has adapted to fit alongside Alexander-Arnold and Szoboszlai but he is still Liverpool’s most important player By Ben McAleer for WhoScored Having sold Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to clubs in Saudi Arabia for a combined £52m, Liverpool may have been tempted when Al-Ittihad bid £150m for Mohamed Salah in the summer. The club rejected the offer outright, with Jürgen Klopp saying the forward is “essential to everything we do”. The manager went so far as claiming that “the answer would be no” to any bid from Saudi Arabia. It was quite the claim given the sums spent this summer, but Salah’s superb start to the season suggests his manager’s steadfast stance was correct. The sum was vast and Salah is 31 years old with two years to run on his current deal, but Liverpool were right not to cash in on the Egyptian. For a start, the offer came too late in the window for Liverpool to secure a replacement. And, more importantly, Salah has been brilliant this season, either scoring or sett

* Erik ten Hag’s team travel to Munich for Wednesday’s game * Striker to play first Champions League match for new club Harry Kane has suggested that he and Bayern Munich can exploit the turmoil around Manchester United when they face them in the opening round of the Champions League group stage ties here on Wednesday night. United have travelled to Bavaria on the back of three defeats in the first five matches of the Premier League season and with fires burning on multiple fronts – taking in the internal suspension for Jadon Sancho after his criticism of the manager, Erik ten Hag, and the leave of absence for Antony as he fights allegations against him by three women. Continue reading...

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! It’s a little too early in the Premier League campaign to sound the Old Trafford crisis klaxon, which is probably just as well considering the state of disrepair and decrepitude into which the famous stadium has fallen suggests it has almost certainly run out of battery and wouldn’t emit a sound. Nevertheless, Manchester United’s season has got off to a most inauspicious beginning both on and off the field and it is difficult to avoid the feeling that the club’s beleaguered manager Erik ten Hag is now one heavy midweek defeat against Bayern Munich in Big Cup away from receiving public messages of support from random corners of the internet.

Bennell was serving sentences for more than 50 offences against 22 boys that took place in 1980s and 1990s The serial paedophile Barry Bennell, who abused boys as a football coach, has died in prison aged 69, the Ministry of Justice said. Bennell died of cancer at the age of 69 on Saturday morning while serving combined prison sentences at HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire for more than 50 offences against 22 boys while coaching them in the 1980s and 1990s.

A midday kick-off to keep temptation and tempers low, with Leeds’s large travelling support slow to fill the top tier of the Den’s North Stand. As is customary, those in the corner of the Dockers Stand spent much of their Sunday lunchtime at 45 degrees to the play, instead regaling their visitors with chants often less than friendly. Leeds fans, in turn, heartily reciprocated. But as Millwall were kept at bay by an organised defensive display from Leeds, the ire began to turn on the home team – even if the sourest bile was kept for the referee, Chris Kavanagh. Continue reading...

For 45 minutes on a clammy day in east London, a compact and enterprising West Ham seemed to be giving Manchester City their toughest test of the Premier League season so far, a goal up and coiled behind a quick-breaking attack. By the final knockings of the second half the scene was more familiar. The City fans were pogoing about happily in the away end. Erling Haaland had finally scored a goal, after almost scoring a goal more times than seemed humanly possible in a single game of football. And City were romping towards their fifth straight league win of the season, 3-1 up and on the verge of returning to the top of the table. Continue reading...

* Players sign statement saying ‘not enough’ has been done * Luis Rubiales is in court over sexual assault allegations All but two of Spain’s 23-strong World Cup-winning squad have signed a statement saying “not enough” has been done to make them feel safe and respected and said that they will not be available for selection for the national team. In a two-page statement the players express their “enormous dissatisfaction” at the events that followed their World Cup win, including the controversial kiss by the Spanish football federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales of Jenni Hermoso and the events at the body’s extraordinary assembly. They have demanded more structural change, beyond the resignation of the disgraced Rubiales and sacking of the divisive manager Jorge Vilda. Continue reading...

Brazil’s style has become more ‘European’ and predictable in recent decades. The new manager wants to change that By Tom Sanderson and Jamie Hamilton for the Sport Network When Brazil were beaten by Morocco and Senegal in friendlies earlier this year, after going out of the World Cup to Croatia at the quarter-final stage, there was national panic. The Brazilian football federation, the CBF, was roundly criticised for assuming that the coach of the country’s Under-20s team, Ramon Menezes, could bridge the gap between Tite, who stepped down after World Cup, and the highly anticipated arrival of Carlo Ancelotti next year once his Real Madrid contract expires. With fans and pundits worried that the five-times World Cup winners would begin their qualifying campaign for 2026 in a similar vein, the CBF reacted and hired Fernando Diniz for the next 12 months. The plan is for Diniz to guide Brazil through their qualifiers, while doing his day job at Fluminense, before Ancelotti steps in for

PSG have built a front three of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Kolo Muani. They could also be a hit for France By Luke Entwistle for Get French Football News Olivier Giroud’s injury against the Republic of Ireland provided an opportunity for Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani to audition for the soon-to-be available No 9 jersey. Thuram was more convincing, but Kolo Muani is perhaps a more enticing long-term option. As France’s record goalscorer Giroud sat grimacing, clutching his ankle on the Parc des Princes turf, Thuram and Kolo Muani could smell the scent of opportunity. Despite “reassuring” medical tests, the Milan striker nonetheless returned to Italy early, eager not to aggravate an ankle injury, identical to the one he suffered in the Champions League last season. “I will perhaps have to strap it to strengthen it, but it hasn’t been bad these past weeks,” said Giroud. Giroud will be 37 later this month, so the time to formulate a succession plan is finally upon us. Conti

* Doubts over whether firm would pass owners and directors test * Genoa and Hertha Berlin among clubs owned by 777 Partners Everton’s owner, Farhad Moshiri, is in advanced talks with the American investment firm 777 Partners over a potential majority purchase of the Premier League strugglers. The Miami-based firm, which already owns several clubs in Europe including Genoa, Standard Liège and Hertha Berlin, held talks with Moshiri over acquiring a 25% stake in Everton earlier in the summer before they entered a period of exclusivity with MSP Sports Capital.

* Former France manager departs after 11 months at club * Gennaro Gattuso reportedly in frame to succeed Blanc Lyon have dismissed their head coach, Laurent Blanc, after a dismal start to the season with the team sitting bottom of the Ligue 1 table. “Olympique Lyonnais and Laurent Blanc have mutually agreed to end their collaboration with effect from today,” Lyon said in a statement on Monday, adding that his assistants are also leaving the club.

There has been little outrage over the striker’s loan deal at the intractable Spanish club, only a willingness to move on On Tuesday evening, as fans started heading towards the exits and the music was finally turned down, Getafe’s sporting director stood pitch side at the Coliseum and insisted that Mason Greenwood is just a footballer, the same as any other he could have signed. Rubén Reyes said the Manchester United forward, who has not played since he was charged with attempted rape, coercive behaviour and assault in October 2022, is no different to Óscar Rodríguez and Diego Rico, who had been presented alongside him. But he knew that was not true and so did everyone there: Greenwood is better. Which was why the sporting director could reflect on his success, the excitement. He need only look at the supporters who came for the presentation, maybe even the fact there was a presentation at all. Five days after Greenwood’s signing on loan, there was still surprise, shock, disbelief.

Four games in and we can already see who is clicking into gear and who is not, with the usual fiery managers thrown in Four wins from four without too much stress sees Manchester City two points clear at the top. The football played under Pep Guardiola – and Juanma Lillo – is clinical, the players are almost robotic in their actions to best opposition. City average 68% possession per match as opponents are forced to sit back and hope for the best, although that tactic has come under scrutiny from Erling Haaland, who has already scored six goals this season. Considering City sold a number of players over the summer and have done limited work signing replacements, others might have thought there is a chance they can take advantage of this but Guardiola is ensuring standards do not slip, whether he is on the training ground or recovering from back surgery in a different country. When City finally get up to speed, opposition managers will be even more afraid. Continue reading...

* Spending by Saudi Arabia Pro League clubs tops £700m * Premier League clubs spend £1.6bn on overseas deals alone A record sum of almost £6bn was spent on international transfer deals this summer, with spending by clubs from Saudi Arabia exceeding £700m. The outlay by clubs in the Pro League was second only to the Premier League, whose teams spent just under £1.6bn on overseas deals alone, according to Fifa’s International Transfer Snapshot, which was published on Friday.

* 19-year-old suffered injury during training on Thursday * Chelsea already without several key players this season Chelsea are waiting on the results of a scan on Roméo Lavia after their new midfielder suffered an ankle injury in training. Lavia, who joined Chelsea for £58m last month, is being assessed after he picked up the knock during a training session on Thursday. The 19-year-old is yet to make an appearance for his new side and has focused on building up his fitness since leaving Southampton. Continue reading...

* Nasser al-Khelaifi ‘does not see’ Pro League sides in competition * European clubs not threatened by Saudi spending, adds Khelaifi The European Club Association chairman, Nasser al-Khelaifi, has poured cold water on the notion that Saudi Arabian sides are on course to be granted spots in the revamped Champions League. The rapid growth and formidable spending power of the Saudi Pro League have brought suggestions that a place for its champions will be sought in Europe’s leading competition, which will expand next season to a new “Swiss system” of 36 clubs. Executives from its leading sides are reportedly keen to test the proposition but the influential Khelaifi, who is also the president of Paris Saint-Germain, emphasised no such move is on the horizon. Khelaifi did, however, leave the door open for stand-alone showpieces, with the Uefa Super Cup an obvious candidate, to take place in the gulf state. Continue reading...

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! If it wasn’t for bad luck, you suspect Stephen Kenny wouldn’t have any luck at all.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! While you could be forgiven for thinking there are few aspects of football more mind-numbingly tedious than longwinded discussions about the excruciating minutiae of refereeing decisions, they are a thriving industry. The first port of call for lazy TV presenters and pundits, they also provide endless hours of cheap content for sports radio stations … and tea-time football emails. In the UK, Sky Sports and TNT both employ their own in-house former referees to pass their verdicts on the verdicts of their former colleagues. Occasionally interesting but largely pointless, these conversations do little more than further fuel the flames of fan paranoia that prompted some bright TV exec to air them for those sweet, sweet engagement metrics in the first place.

Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace all lost important players this summer, but that need not hold them back By Richard Foster for The Football Mine A series of Premier League clubs lost their most important players in the transfer market this summer. Harry Kane left Tottenham as their captain and all-time top scorer; Declan Rice said goodbye to West Ham after captaining them to their first trophy in 43 years; Wilfried Zaha left Crystal Palace as their top scorer and appearance holder in Premier League history; and Brighton lost not one but two key central midfielders. Losing a star player should halt a team’s progress, but that has not always been the case. Wayne Rooney spent his formative years in Everton’s academy, famously announcing his arrival as a 16-year-old when scoring a spectacular last-minute winner against Arsenal in 2002. He finished as the club’s top scorer the following season, drawing the attention of Alex Ferguson. Everton fans felt betrayed when the 18-year-old

Even if Erik Ten Hag’s men had burgled a win on Sunday, it could not have disguised the issues of investment, personnel and tactical structure * Sign up to Jonathan’s weekly newsletter here There is a world, not too far removed from the one we live in, in which Alejandro Garnacho was not ruled offside, in which Gabriel Magalhães did not manage, like Catherine Zeta-Jones evading the infrared security beams in Entrapment, to contort his body around the VAR lines, and Manchester United stole a late winner at the Emirates on Sunday. We’d now be talking about the fine margins, about a finely executed smash-and-grab, about Erik ten Hag finally beating a major rival away from home. But in our world, Garnacho was offside and Arsenal scored twice in injury-time. Results can be great deceivers – take United’s 1-0 win over Wolves this season, in which the West Midlands club had dominated the match. But Sunday was part of a pattern. The only away point United picked up last season against t

Attempting to maintain a status quo is a dangerous game to play in the Premier League. Yet more dangerous is attempting to maintain it after selling off the family silver. In the 11 months since Wolves last played at Selhurst, Julen Lopetegui has come and gone, while star midfielders in Rúben Neves and Matheus Nunes have been cashed out, among many others, to offset financial concerns. Continue reading...

Rangers supporters did not bother waiting until full time to make their displeasure towards Michael Beale abundantly clear. The 64th-minute removal of Kemar Roofe triggered howls of derision from the Ibrox stands which only intensified when the Rangers players completed an ill-advised lap of the pitch after the final whistle. Just four games into the Scottish Premiership season, Beale is a man under serious pressure. It is difficult to make a case for the Rangers manager. After something of a summer transfer revolution, just three new players – Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling and Cyriel Dessers – started this Old Firm derby. Sterling only featured because of a shortage of left-backs. It should be noted that just one of Celtic’s recent recruits, Gustaf Lagerbielke, started but they were not the team in need of a transformation. The best side in Scotland from the last campaign are already four points clear of their oldest foes. Rangers lacked the finesse and composure of Celtic here. It lo

If only there was an accountancy trick that could mask Chelsea’s awful numbers in front of goal. Unfortunately for Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital there is no way to amortise a home defeat to a ruthless Nottingham Forest. As Mauricio Pochettino heard the home fans greet the final whistle with fierce boos, it was strange to think that £1bn has gone into building a side so lacking in nous, leadership and ways to respond against opponents intent on frustrating them at Stamford Bridge. The problems confronting Pochettino are nothing new given that Chelsea have earned 11 home wins in all competitions since the start of last season. This is a team bereft of edge in the final third, a team of young players who look unsure of themselves in tricky situations, and nobody who has been paying close attention to recent events here could say they were particularly surprised when Forest pounced on one defensive slip and stole the points thanks to Anthony Elanga’s clinical finish at the start of th

* ‘I have to improve, we all do,’ says Luis de la Fuente * Men’s coach ‘lacked bravery’ to contact Jenni Hermoso The coach of the Spanish national men’s team, Luis de la Fuente, has apologised for the “inexcusable error” of applauding Luis Rubiales during the speech in which the football federation president refused to resign over his having forcibly kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips at the presentation ceremony after the midfielder had helped Spain win the Women’s World Cup. De la Fuente said his actions were a product of the “psychological stress” of the situation he found himself in and that if he could go back he would behave differently, although he did not explain what he was applauding. Nor did he give an explanation for why it took 24 hours for him to release a statement criticising Rubiales’s behaviour, by which time the president had already been suspended by Fifa, the game’s world governing body. He also admitted that “I probably lacked the bravery” to contact Hermoso.

Spain men's coach Luis de la Fuente has apologised for applauding football federation president Luis Rubiales´ speech last week in which he said he would not resign, after kissing Jenni Hermoso. De la Fuente and women's head coach Jorge Vilda were among those pictured applauding the speech. "Those that know me know that these gestures do not represent my values, nor my way of thinking, nor my way of behaving in life. I always have been and will be on the side of equality and respect," he said. "Not Jenni and not any of the other players are responsible for what happened there." Continue reading...
