      Everton 1 Arsenal 1: Premier League title slips further from Gunners’ grasp after Lewis-Skelly gives away vital penalty

      by

      DAVID MOYES had vowed that he wasn’t thinking about being a good neighbour to that Red lot across Stanley Park.But that is what he became, with the help of Iliman Ndaye’s spot kick equaliser in the clash that Mikel Arteta will know marked the end of what had already looked like a mission impossible.Iliman Ndiaye scores from the spotCredit: AlamyNdiaye celebrates scoring from the penalty spotCredit: GettyLiverpool’s lead over Arteta’s injury-ravaged Gunners has been cut by one but it’s still double figures.With seven games left the Gunners still have a mathematical chance of catching Arne Slot’s leaders but this was not a performance from the Prem’s second-top team that suggested a miracle might be on the cards.A Beechers Brook moment isn’t about to happen.Arsenal were just average in the main apart from Leandro Trossard’s fine first half opener.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLArteta, meanwhile, picked a side with one eye on Tuesday’s Champions League showpiece showdown with Real Madrid.He couldn’t have faulted the effort but the chances of him picking up his first title are next to nil – and the look on his face as he shook hands with opposite number David Moyes said it all.Arsenal could easily have been ahead by the second minute after Jordan Pickford had a real shocker.The England No 1, famously familiar with a rush of blood, mis-kicked outside of the box and on his 100th successive Prem appearance was thankful that a block bunch of defenders forced away Raheem Sterling’s shot.Most read in FootballGrand National betting offers and free betsMyles Lewis-Skelly brings down Jack Harrison in the boxCredit: ReutersSoon after Jarrad Branthwaite rescued the Toffees, their brains scrambled by a collection of set – piece attacks created by the side that uses that tactic better then anyone in the league.Declan Rice’s corner from the left was swinging into the top corner before the central defender just managed to head clear.Virgil van Dijk ‘destroys’ Michael Owen with brutal 13-word put-down on live TV after Liverpool beat Everton Arteta will not have been surprised that his own defence, patched up and without the crucial presence of Gabriel, out for the rest of the season as the latest hamstrung victim, struggled at times against their opponents’ own bombs-away ariel assaults.With Polish make-weight Jakub Kiwior making a rare Prem start, there were scary moments for Pickford’s opposite number David Raya.And had Jake O’Brien reacted quicker, he would have grabbed the opener but Abdoulaye Doucoure’s head flick slammed against his chest.Mikel Merino would later go down as O’Brien returned to cause a little more havoc.The pair clashed heads – on and the Spaniard, playing deeper instead of as a makeshift striker, needed four minutes treatment on a bloody wound.This was not a meeting of creative minds. More bish-bosh and bluster but Trossard did add the first half’s only moment of quality as he put the Gunners ahead in the 34th minute.Quality was seriously lacking, for sure, in the way Idrissa Gueye blundered to allow Sterling to break from mid-way in the Arsenal half.Gueye got in the way of Branthwaite and produced a header that went straight to the former England winger and off he jetted.His touch to the waiting Belgian was a good one, too, and Trossard swerved wide of O’Brien before depositing a fine low left footer beyond Pickford’s stretch.Leandro Trossard fires Arsenal into a first half leadCredit: GettyTrossard is congratulated for his Arsenal openerCredit: ReutersTrossard, playing through the middle as an alternative to Merino, could have a second before the break but then we saw why Tarkowski is such a vital physical presence at the back for the Toffees.He shouldn’t, really have been on the pitch at all after somehow escaping a mid – week red card for his “leg-breaker” challenge on Alexis Mac Allister in Liverpool’s 1-0 Merseyside derby win that meant Arsenal were starting a dozen points behind the leaders.But his guts can’t be questioned.Trossard found himself almost clean through but was destabilised by Tarkowski’s desperate challenge as he shot against Pickford’s chest.The re-bound flew straight to Rice but there was the home captain again, throwing his body at the shot.Success for Trossard would have given Arsenal welcome extra breathing space in this feisty meeting that  didn’t lack commitment at least.Instead Everton were level after Miles  Lewis-Skelly was caught on the back foot by Jack Harrison 70 seconds after the re-start.The winger landed on the deck, Enngland’s 18-year-old left-back prodigy guilty of catching him although he claimed the challenge first started outside the box.Referee Darren England pointed straight to the spot, VAR Stuart Atwell agreed, and Ndiaye calmly sent Pickford to claim penalty success for the fifth time in a row on his first start since being injured in the first of this season’s Mersey derbies in February.Arteta’s men were stunned – skipper Jorginho booked for protesting that decision – and could have gone behind only for Raya to stand firm against a fierce low strike from Doucoure.They might then have gone back ahead, too, but Pickford’s reaction to a pile-driver from Rice was just as strong.Read More on The SunArteta, now all black looks, had thrown on Gabriel Martinelli for Sterling at half – time while Martin Odegaard, like the winger being saved for Tuesday night and Real, replaced Jorginho with 19 minutes left.But the narrative was more about desperation. And the final whistle, even with spoils shared, will have been for him despair. More

      by

      KEVIN DE BRUYNE will be almost impossible to replace.Because he has helped win more than 40 PER CENT of Manchester City’s points.Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City at the end of the seasonCredit: GettyHis importance is impossible to understateCredit: AlamyThe Belgian great, 33, announced on Friday he will leave the Etihad at the end of the season.De Bruyne joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015 for £55million.And he has proven to be an all-time legend for City and the Premier League, winning six titles and playing a key role in the famous Treble in 2022-23. Now the stats show just how important De Bruyne is for City. READ MORE ON FOOTBALLAccording to AskGamblers, De Bruyne has directly contributed to more than two-fifths of City’s Premier League points between 2015-16 and 2023-24 – his nine full seasons in Manchester. To be precise, the exact figure is 41.9 per cent.De Bruyne has racked up 70 goals and 118 assists Prem assists for City.They have led to 328 points – out of City’s total tally of 783 over the time frame. Most read in FootballGrand National betting offers and free betsAnd the figures work out that the playmaker provides 36.4 points per season.Interestingly, his bit-part role this season – starting just 12 times in the Premier League – has coincided with City’s poorest campaign in years.Ruben Amorim’s Garnacho dilemma explained ahead of Manchester derbyPep Guardiola’s men will lose their four-year grip on the Prem trophy – and are in a battle to qualify for the Champions League as Liverpool run away from Arsenal at the top.De Bruyne took to social media with an emotional post to confirm his upcoming exit. He wrote: “Dear Manchester. Seeing this, you’ll probably realise where this is heading.”So I’ll get straight to it and let you know that these will be my final months as a Manchester City player. “Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players, we all know this day eventually comes.”That day is here – and you deserve to hear it from me first. Football led me to all of you – and to this city.”Chasing my dream, not knowing this period would change my life. This city, this club, these people… gave me EVERYTHING.”I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back! And guess what – we won EVERYTHING.”Whether we like it or not, it’s time to say goodbye. Suri Rome, Mason, Michele and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant to our family.”Manchester will forever be home on our kids’ passports – and more importantly, in each of our hearts. This will always be our HOME.”We cannot thank the city, club staff, team-mates, friends and family enough for this ten-year ride.”Every story comes to an end, but this has definitely been the best chapter.”Let’s enjoy these last moments together! Much love, KDB.”Read More on The SunThere is already plenty of speculation about where De Bruyne will play his football next season.The MLS is the early most likely option ahead of Saudi Arabia – especially as San Diego confirmed there has been contact with his agent.

      I was doing Cole Palmer’s celebration years before Chelsea star – here’s where it really comes from

      by

      COLE PALMER has become synonymous with his “cold” celebration, where he wraps his arms around his body as if he were cold.The Chelsea star first did the celebration back in December 2023 when he scored in a 3-2 win over Luton.The origin of Cole Palmer’s ‘cold’ celebration has been revealedCredit: GettyPalmer said he was inspired by Morgan RogersCredit: GettyBut Valencia striker Diego Lopez has said he has been doing it for years before thatCredit: GettySince then he has chalked up 39 goals on his Chelsea tally, with the celebration coming out almost every time.Palmer, 22, has made no secret about the celebration not being his own original work.He previously admitted how, following his time in the Manchester City academy, he was inspired to perform the celebration by then team-mate Morgan Rogers.Aston Villa star Rogers was accused of copying the celebration when he scored against Chelsea in April 2024, before he clarified: “It’s the opposite, I did it first, he copied me.”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLPalmer responded by saying: “Rogers knows that I did it and that it went viral. He [Rogers] may have done it, but everyone knows it’s my celebration.”In December 2024, SunSport exclusively revealed how Palmer had launched a bid to patent the “cold” celebration.However, the true origin of the move dates back years, and even outside of football.Valencia ace Diego Lopez was asked about the celebration after scoring his fourth goal in a row, something he has done since before he joined the Spanish club in 2023.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKLopez, 22, was not too happy about the news of Palmer patenting the move and responded on social media by sharing a photo of him doing the cold move, captioned with the year 2022 and a set of emojis.After scoring again for Valencia and using the celebration, he told Relevo: “The receipt has not arrived yet, I don’t know if it is because they do not have my address or because Valencia is in charge of it. ‘Reminded me of Gerrard at Liverpool’ – Cole Palmer told he needs to LEAVE Chelsea and has outgrown the club already”If you want, I can explain that I have been doing that for four years now. “I will continue to celebrate like this because I like it and I hope I celebrate it a lot because that will mean that I am scoring a lot of goals.”However, Lopez has also revealed his own origin for the move, which actually comes from basketball star Trae Young.He explained: “He’s a player that I particularly like. When he scores an important basket or wins a key game, he celebrates it like this. I liked it and I copied it a bit.”Even Atalanta Hawks star Young has heard of Palmer using the celebration.But the 26-year-old Point Guard told talkSPORT his prompt for the move came from his childhood.He said: “I remember being in the basement of the house with my friends watching games of our favourite players making gestures. I said, ‘We have to invent something.'”One of my friends replied, ‘You’re Ice Trae. Be cold as ice.’ “I remember that I made a three-pointer, I don’t know if it was to win a game or not, but I did it and since then I adopted it. I didn’t get it from anyone.”Regardless of its original source, the celebration has become popular worldwide.Read More on The SunOlympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo used the move at last summer’s Paris Olympics, while New York Yankees baseball player Gleyber Torres and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson have both used the “cold” celebration.Other football stars including ex-Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi have also used the celebration.Lopez made a post on social media after news emerged of Palmer’s attempt to patent the moveLopez said he was inspired by NBA star Trae Young, who in turn said it was something he did during his childhoodCredit: GettyOlympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo has used the move as his trademark tooCredit: AFPEx-Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi has also done the celebrationCredit: Getty More
