More often than not cannot add the finishing touch to his play, maybe some more tips from Thierry Henry can help him with that.Bagged a fantastic pair of assists too for Lachlan and then Kai Cenat using his unbearable pace on the right hand-side.Topped off his incredible performance with the winning penalty in the shoot-out.Copy linkCopiedThe Special RonStable Ronaldo enjoyed victory more than most.He posted: “I can’t believe WE won the Sidemen charity match, God is GOOD.” Copy linkCopiedPlayer ratings – YouTube Allstars Sketch – 9 What’s up brother? Sketch’s stocks that’s what.Genuinely the best goalkeeping performance you will see from someone conceding NINE goals probably ever.Looked noticeably small in goal for the YouTube Allstars which was perfectly shown as Miniminter slammed one past him from outside the box (into the middle of the goal), but also made some HUGE saves to keep his side in the lead.Made an UNREAL save in the penalty shoot-out to deny Miniminter again in a performance that was Sketch-y at times but overall quite impressive. Mr Beast – 3Couldn’t score from the spot early on as his penalty was saved by xQc, and apart from that it was a pretty quiet showing from the biggest YouTuber on the planet. Angry Ginge – 9Just as he was in Qatar, absolutely rock solid at the back for Youtube Allstars. Composed on the ball, tough in the tackles and like a ginger (and not bald) Jaap Stam in the air.But that’s not all, he passed out the back with ease and his long balls were often the catalyst for YouTube All Stars to move forward. The streamer also got himself on the scoresheet in the first half.Sublime.Copy linkCopiedCelebs rate Sketch as the biggest draw Mr Beast and Kai Cenat are unanimous on their verdict over who was man of the match.Both picked out American Twitch streamer Sketch.

      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. Perhaps there’s no need to fear another heavy defeat.A couple of Curtis Jones attempts are as good as it’s got so far for the hosts.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 0-0 IpswichEddie Nketiah is making a rare start in the absence of Jean-Philippe Mateta – and he could have already made his mark.Put through by a textbook Adam Wharton pass, the former Arsenal man really should score. He just doesn’t look confident though, and the subsequent shot is dealt with by Alex Palmer.Copy linkCopiedAnd they’re off!This afternoon’s Premier League games at Anfield, the Amex and Selhurst Park are now underway. Strap yourselves in. It could be a big afternoon at the top, bottom, and in the race for Europe.Copy linkCopiedDan King on Liverpool versus SouthamptonThey’ve just played Sit Down by James at Anfield and the home fans will be hoping that rock bottom Southampton lie down for Liverpool.Kop boss Arne Slot has made only three changes to the team that started the Great Parc des Princes Heist on Wednesday night.Darwin Nunez’s reward for teeing up Harvey Elliott’s winner against PSG is a start in place of Diogo Jota, with Kostas Tsimikas and Curtis Jones also coming into the team.Saints boss Ivan Juric has made six changes from the side pumped 4-0 at Chelsea in their last game, with only one member of the five-man defence that night, Kyle Walker-Peters, keeping his place.Copy linkCopiedToday’s Premier League gamesIt’s wall-to-wall action in the top-flight today.

Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R9Jonas takes a tumble early, but it is quickly waived away as a knockdown, clearly just losing her footing in the corner. Natasha Price is warned about shots to the back of the head – no need for her to go overboard, she could win this by jabbing until the bell.Jonas barely through a punch in that round, Price throwing after the bell but is quickly apologetic. One round to go, Jonas needs to put Price down without her getting up or Price will walk away unified champion. Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R8Price not waiting in this one, landing a few big punches early doors. Jonas needs to roll the dice, but Price continues to apply all the pressure, as Jonas still waits for a mistake. A few wild swings and misses from Jonas, Price with a very good performance so far.

Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R5Half way through and Price looks in control, would have to give her the fight if it were to end now – but it doesn’t.Jonas lands a big left hand, but Price lands a right that Jonas takes half a second extra to get up from. Jonas landing a few more punches this time around, maybe she will take advantage of Price potentially getting tired after all the offence in these first five rounds.Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R4A strong jab from Price that knocks Jonas back a tad, but still she defends well enough.Jonas is throwing a lot of missed punches.Natasha Jonas looks like she is waiting for a mistake from Price, but Price is still in control.Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R3Price gets the crowd roaring with a big combo, but Jonas appears to have dodged any big hits.Jonas flings a wild right hand which could have been detrimental if landed. Price having to put her guard up a little more as Jonas goes on offence a bit more, put Price still looking the better of the two.Copy linkCopiedDubois speaks after winSome words from Caroline Dubois between rounds here, after she survived a late scare from Bo Mi Re Shin to retain her IBF lightweight title.Dubois won by a majority decision with one judges scoring it a 95-95 draw, and the other two in her favour 98-93 and 98-92.Dubois said to Sky Sports: “It was very rough and tough. Watching her fights previously with the team, that’s what she does. Charges in, head down and swings. She did exactly what I expected.”I feel like I need to learn how to fight on the inside. It’s one thing doing it in sparring, but it’s another thing doing it in the ring. The crowd, the lights, the judges, it’s important to master that. I tried to do it, I don’t know if I was successful but I tried.”Credit: ReutersCopy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R2Lauren Price with some big offence and the crowd roars.Jonas very much playing defence here, and Price hits Jonas with a huge right hand that makes her stagger step for a second.Price very much in control in these two rounds, Jonas needs to attack in the third.Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R1Lauren Price starting the stronger here.A few jabs to feel each other out in the opening minute, but Price starting to attack at the end of the round.A few right hands landed, but nothing to knock Natasha Jonas off her feet yet.Copy linkCopiedNatasha Jonas ring walkOut of the red corner, here comes Natasha Jonas.Copy linkCopiedLauren Price ring walkPrice is out – and paying homage to the Welsh in her.
