      Premier League LIVE SCORES: Liverpool LOSING at home to Southampton after Man City lose again to Forest – latest

      by

      MATCHWEEK 28 of the Premier League is full of blockbuster action!Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City kicked off the weekend as the top four rivals clashed in the early kick off.Callum Hudson-Odoi would break the deadlock between the two sides with a near-post strike on the 83rd minute. The standout 3pm match sees Prem leaders Liverpool welcome struggling Southampton to Anfield – with the Saints taking a shock lead at Anfield.This evening, Brentford face Aston Villa before Wolves vs Everton caps off Saturday’s action.Kick off times: 12.30pm/3pm/5.30pm/8pm GMTCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…Dan King on Liverpool 0-1 SouthamptonFrom hero to zero, Alisson has gifted Southampton the lead with an horrendous mix-up with Virgil Van Dijk.And you can’t say Saints don’t deserve it, really.Yes the Reds have dominated possession and territory but they look like a side tired after chasing PSG around the pitch on Wednesday.Darwin Nunez has just escaped a red card for a wild kick on Kyle Walker-Peters by the skin of his teeth after a long VAR look resulted in upholding the initial yellow card.Copy linkCopiedFrom Neil Silver at Selhurst ParkIpswich defended well enough in the first half against in-form Palace, who maybe had one eye on Monday’s trip to Marbella for a warm weather training camp.Eddie Nketiah and Eberechi Eze missed decent chances for Palace, whose goalkeeper Dean Henderson saved efforts from Jaden Philogene and Julio Enciso.Copy linkCopiedTime for pie and a pintIt’s half-time in the Premier League’s 3pm kick-offs. Do what you need to.Brighton 1-1 FulhamCrystal Palace 0-0 IpswichLiverpool 0-1 SouthamptonCopy linkCopiedLiverpool 0-1 SouthamptonFrustrations are growing in the Liverpool ranks, and now Darwin Nunez has gone full Darwin Nunez.Kyle Walker-Peters is going nowhere as he retreats to the halfway line, but that doesn’t stop the striker having an almighty swipe at the defender’s legs.Nunez is yellow carded but there is a lengthy check as VAR consider firmer action.Eventually, the striker breathes a sigh of relief as the officials stick with the on-field decision.Copy linkCopied45+1 – GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 SouthamptonWell, well, well…Alisson and Virgil van Dijk were Liverpool’s heroes in Paris on Wednesday, but they’ve blundered their way into a massive mix-up here that has allowed Will Smallbone to score his first Premier League goal.The centre-back tries to shepherd the ball back to his keeper but with Smallbone and Mateus Fernandes in pursuit, they only succeed in clattering into each other.With the ball running free, Southampton’s midfielder quickly pivots to send the ball into the empty net in front of a stunned Kop.The team adrift at the foot of the table lead at the runaway leaders. Football, bloody hell!Copy linkCopied41 – GOAL! Brighton 1-1 FulhamFulham’s lead at the Amex did not last long!Jan Paul van Hecke was caught napping for the opener, but he’s made amends with a fine header.Mind you, he’s helped out by some incredibly lazy defending that leaves the Dutchman completely unmarked to meet Yasin Ayari’s free-kick from the left.It’s a great connection though, which sends the ball swerving back beyond Bernd Leno and in off the far post.Copy linkCopied35 – GOAL! Brighton 0-1 FulhamRaul Jimenez gives Fulham the lead!It’s an excellent goal by the Cottagers, who work the ball from back to front.Alex Iwobi drives down the right and sends a cross over Jan Paul van Hecke, who is caught out of position.What follows from Jimenez is sublime; a chest down and shot on the slide that powers past Bart Verbruggen.It could be time to renew your passports, Fulham fans.Copy linkCopiedFrom Neil Silver at Selhurst ParkNketiah should have made his mark within 120 seconds after being released by a brilliant pass from Adam Wharton.With just Alex Palmer to beat, Nketiah delayed pulling the trigger and shot straight at the Ipswich goalkeeper.Wharton was clearly motivated by stories linking him with Real Madrid and the fact that Thomas Tuchel set to name his first England squad this week.Copy linkCopiedLiverpool 0-0 SouthamptonDarwin Nunez has a couple of sighters, the most recent of which he strikes straight at Aaron Ramsdale.Liverpool have had 80% of possession but are so far being frustrated by Southampton – which should be a familiar feeling for Saints, who made a habit of dominating the ball and doing nothing with it earlier in the season.Copy linkCopiedDan King on Liverpool 0-0 SouthamptonSouthampton barely got out of their half for 20 minutes yet it’s Liverpool’s Paris hero Alisson who has made the only two saves so far.Neither was particularly difficult, mind, but the Saints are coming into this in a way that is making the home crowd uncomfortable.The home side have not threatened since Curtis Jones failed to hit the target with a very good chance inside six minutes.The visitors have lost captain Jan Bednarek after a clash of heads with his own full back, Ryan Manning. Copy linkCopiedLiverpool 0-0 SouthamptonSouthampton have shown some attacking intent in the last few minutes, testing Alisson from distance and winning a couple of corners.It’s a good response from the Premier League’s bottom team, who lost their captain Jan Bednarek to a head injury.Armel Bella-Kotchap is on in the centre-back’s place.Copy linkCopiedBest league in the worldAnd I thought the first half between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City at the City Ground was dull.Now we’ve got three of them to endure.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 0-0 Ipswich”You know, Ipswich are still in this,” ponders Clinton Morrison on Soccer Saturday. Well, it is 0-0, Clinton.Liam Delap did fire one wide for the Tractor Boys, who have also had Jacob Greaves booked.Copy linkCopiedBrighton 0-0 FulhamJoao Pedro has scored.Unfortunately for Brighton, it’s not the one leading the line for the Seagulls.Instead, the Brazilian’s namesake has put Hull a goal up at Bristol City in the Championship.Copy linkCopiedFrom Isabelle Barker at the AmexFulham are that bogey team for Brighton. The Seagulls have never beaten the Cottagers in the Premier League in nine attempts. They’ve lost five and drawn four. Both teams are flying high though with three wins and one loss away to Manchester City for Fulham while Brighton have turned a corner since that humiliating 7-0 loss at Nottingham Forest winning their last three league games. Chris Eubank’s son Harlem was paraded around on the pitch after dropping Tyrone McKenna last night at the Brighton Arena, with Fulham fans serenading him to a rendition of “who the f***ing hell are you”. Let’s hope both these sides pack a punch this afternoon. Copy linkCopiedLiverpool 0-0 SouthamptonSaints have navigated the early minutes an Anfield without too much trouble.

      Harry Redknapp rings me on the M40 after every game whether we win or lose – he’s the best uncle ever

      by

      FRANK LAMPARD has revealed that his uncle, iconic football manager Harry Redknapp, calls him after every game he takes charge of.Lampard, 46, has transformed Coventry City’s season since taking over at the CBS Arena in November – and it could be down to the tips he’s getting from ‘Uncle Harry’.Frank Lampard has revealed that his uncle Harry Redknapp calls him after every Coventry City gameCredit: GettyThe former England and Chelsea star is trying to rebuild his management career after unsuccessful spells in charge of The Blues and Everton.But even if things weren’t going right he would still be getting a phone call off Harry on his way home.Lampard revealed that the former Portsmouth and Tottenham boss is always ringing him up while he heads home on the M40.Speaking on Football Focus, he said: “Uncle Harry is the best support ever.READ MORE ON FOOTBALL”Harry rings me when I’m on the M40 after a game. Win are lose, particularly if we win.”He’s like ‘I was following every bit of it me and Sandra [Redknapp’s wife], they came up, they scored…’, so I always appreciate that.”And it’s always a wise word from him at the end of those things”.Redknapp spent 34 years as a manager, taking charge of eight different clubs and winning two trophies.Most read in FootballHarry Redknapp had a 34-year career as a managerCredit: GettyFrank Lampard is in charge of Coventry City on his own managerial journeyCredit: PACASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSBut despite having one of English football’s most experienced manager’s at his beck and call, Lampard is still opening his ears to the ideas of all the other coaches around him in the Championship.The three-time Premier League champion explained that the age-old tradition of having a drink with your opposite number at full-time is still alive and kicking in the Championship.’Won’t be able to look him in the eye’ – Christine Lampard and MOTD’s Kelly Cates in hysterics over ‘Frank’s hot sauce’He said: “The beauty of the Championship is we still have the tradition of coming in and having a glass of wine or a beer [with the opposition manager].”It happens with most managers, one or two not. But that’s fine, some that’s cultural as well and the league is evolving for that.”We’ve all got these different challenges and there’s some really, really good, not just young coaches, but coaches in this league.”Whatever it is Lampard is learning, he’s certainly putting it to good use.The retired midfield maestro inherited a Coventry side languishing in 17th spot, just two points above the relegation zone.But he has since pulled them all the way up to play-off contenders, sitting fifth in the table and looking up.Coventry have won nine of their last 10 league matches, only losing to league leaders Leeds United.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe Sky Blues are now staring the very real prospect of making the play-offs and giving Lampard a second crack at taking a team to the Premier League.The 106-time England international led Derby County to the play-offs in the 2018-19 season, ultimately losing to Aston Villa in the final at Wembley.Coventry City have been a team transformed under LampardCredit: PA More

      Nottingham Forest 1 Man City 0: Callum Hudson-Odoi scores late winner that could propel his side into Champions League

      by

      THANKS to Callum Hudson-Odoi, Forest’s fans can now start to imagine the Champions League theme tune being played at the City Ground next season.Hudson’s Odoi’s winner with seven minutes left proved beyond doubt that Forest now have a brilliant chance of making a long-awaited return to European club football’s top competition.Callum Hudson-Odoi scored Nottingham Forest’s winner against Man CityCredit: ReutersIt’s a major boost in their Champions League hopesCredit: GettyWith 10 games left, they are four points clear of CIty. No-one, absolutely no-one, could have imagined this at the start of what is proving to be a dream season at Forest.Meanwhile, for Pep Guardiola, this was a ninth Premier League loss and his team were truly awful.In a week which saw Alisson deliver a one-man wondershow away to PSG for Liverpool, fellow Brazilian keeper Ederson was caught out badly at his near post for the Hudson-Odoi goal.And this came after he made a decent save from the same player earlier in the second half.READ MORE IN footballSo now for Forest, it is home draws with Liverpool and Arsenal followed by this win over City. This is definitely the type of form which gets you a top four or top five spot.England assistant manager Anthony Barry was here with Thomas Tuchel to name his first squad on Friday and Hudson-Odoi certainly gave himself a chance.In contrast, City’s Phil Foden had little influence and then looked peed off when he was replaced by Kevin de Bruyne with 21 minutes left.Yet despite City bringing on both the Belgian midfielder and forward Omar Marmoush, Forest held firm in a similar cat-and-mouse type of game to the 1-1 draw with Arsenal. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSOnly on this occasion, they stuck the knife in right at the end and as you could imagine, there were jubilant  scenes at the end.It was certainly a lively ending to an otherwise dismal game which had promised so much but delivered very little.For much of the game, Guardiola stood on the touchline with both hands on his head although when Hudson-Odoi grabbed the winner, he was sat on the bench and just took a giant swig of water. At that point, he must have admitted it was something stronger.For Forest, this was a game which started and finished with a standing ovation. There was applause in the third minute for club legend Stuart Pearce who is recovering after failing ill on a transatlantic fight and a “get well soon, Stuart” message flashed up on the big screen.This tribute to the former England no 3 came in the third minute with the home fans singing the name of the ex left-back.Soon after, as City looked to get off to a flying start, Erling Haaland was understandably baffled when he was not given a corner even though his goal-bound shot, which seemed to be heading towards the bottom corner, was deflected wide by Murillo.Bernardo SIlva also showed his complete dismay at what was a poor decision by referee Chris Kavanagh.With Forest struggling to get out of their own half, Nico Gonzalez thumped a shot wide and then delivered an attempt so high and wide it probably ended up in the club shop – but Notts County’s on the other side of the Trent.City’s first official shot on target,  if you do not include the early Haaland strike, came through Jeremy Doku and that was just before half-timeAnd 30 seconds later, Chris Wood also chipped in with Forest’s only shot on target but this attempted lob sailed into the arms of Ederson.Forest were better in the second half and they managed the best chance of the game but City keeper Ederson got down low to his left to turn Hudson-Odoi’s shot against the post.Guardiola made his changes, bringing on Rico Lewis and Mateo Kovacic at first and De Bruyne and Marmoush soon after.De Bruyne had an immediate chance but lifted his effort into the away end and then hammered a free-kick straight at Matz Sels.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut just when you thought Forest might settle for a point, they turned three points into three.Morgan Gibbs-White launched a long ball to Hudson-Odoi who was given an incredible amount of time and space by Josko Gvardiol. He then hammered an effort which Ederson should have saved by no-one at the City Ground was complaining.Pep Guardiola looks on in frustrationCredit: AlamyIt was a famous win for ForestCredit: Getty More
