The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

Viktor Gyokeres' season stats are crazy.

Viktor Gyokeres continued his impressive start to the season during the international break, scoring five goals in just two games for Sweden.


Gyokeres is perhaps the most sought-after centre-forward in European football right now, with several of the continent's superpowers interested in signing him from Sporting Lisbon.

With four goals in Sweden's 6-0 hammering of Azerbaijan, the 26-year-old now has 32 goals for club and country this season. It's an incredible statistic for a player who appears to be worth a lot of money to Sporting in the coming transfer window.

The insane statistics underlying Viktor Gyokeres' season thus far

Champions League's top goal scorer (5)

Gyokeres leads the Champions League scoring chart this season, with five goals in just four matches. Gyokeres has scored the most goals, tying Harry Kane of Bayern Munich and Barcelona's Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski for first place.


A hat-trick against Manchester City on matchday four was a statement performance against top-tier opponents.

Primeira Liga's leading goal scorer (16)

Gyokeres won the Bola de Prata as the highest scorer in Portuguese football last season, scoring 29 goals in 33 games. The Swedish striker had a fairytale debut season, winning the Primeira Liga Player of the Year award after propelling Sporting to victory.

He's attempting to become the first player to win the accolade in consecutive seasons since Porto's Jackson Martinez did it from 2013 to 2015. Gyokeres had 16 goals in only 11 league games this season, eight more than nearest rivals Galeno and Samu Aghehowa.

Nations League best goal scorer (9)

Gyokeres' four goals against Azerbaijan cemented his position as the Nations League's top scorer after the group stage. The attacker scored nine goals in six appearances for Sweden, helping the Scandinavians breeze through League C and secure promotion. He averaged one goal every 59 minutes.

Nations League's most assists (4)


Gyoekres lead the Nations League in goals and assists. He set up four goals for his Swedish colleagues, including one for Alexander Isak, who reciprocated in the team's 2-1 victory over Slovakia earlier this month. Gyokeres finished the group phase with four assists, along with Austria's Christoph Baumgartner.

Viktor Gyokeres' statistics for club and nation in 2024/25 include 24 games.

Goals: 32 Assists: 10 Time per goal: 62.7 minutes
Minutes per goal involvement are 47.8 minutes.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
