Tottenham 3-2 Brentford: Player ratings as Spurs edge thriller to move up to fourth

Image
FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM - Three quick-fire goals at the start of the second half helped Tottenham come from behind to beat Brentford. The Bees took an early lead in north London but were undone by their resurgent hosts after the break before setting up a nervy finish. Ange Postecoglou's men have moved above Aston Villa into fourth , while Thomas Frank's side missed the chance to climb to 12th. How the game unfolded Tottenham carved Brentford open a couple of times during the opening exchanges, with Oliver Skipp notably releasing Dejan Kulusevski in beyond the last line, but Mathias Jensen made an excellent recovery challenge to deny his fellow Scandinavian at the last. A similar scenario unfolded at the other end when Neal Maupay sent Keane Lewis-Potter racing away, but the Frenchman had his pocket picked by Skipp upon receiving the ball again inside the box. Mads Roerslev had the ball in the net soon after, only to be denied by an offside flag against Jensen earlier in

Transfer news: Gallagher wants Chelsea stay; PSG back for Rashford & Salah's Liverpool future

The January transfer window closes in less than three days, with Business in 2024 exceptionally quiet compared to last season. A record-breaking winter window last time around saw Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk rock up to Chelsea, who spent around £300m in a desperate bid to galvanise their failing squad. But they weren't the only ones flashing in the cash, particularly in the Premier League , as more than £800m was spent. The 2023/24 season, courtesy of the laser-like focus on Financial Fair Play compliance, has seen things play out completely differently, and there's far fewer blockbuster deals being discussed as the deadline draws near.

Image
The current technical formula in MotoGP will change in 2027, with one of the chief changes coming in the form of engine displacement being reduced from 1000cc to 850cc. MotoGP will also move to 100% sustainable fuels from 2027, while it is thought major changes to the current aerodynamic rules will be made. Read Also: MotoGP MotoGP planning 850cc engine rules for 2027 During the launch of the KTM-backed Tech3 team earlier this week, Beirer offered an update on how discussions over the 2027 regulations were going between MotoGP and the manufacturers. “I feel some very smart decisions have been made for the ‘27 regulations,” he said. “Maybe one or the other idea we should discuss if it would not make sense to make the changes even earlier. “But in general to take out the little bit of extreme technology that is influencing the riding style, the riding itself, we should take out a little bit to give the tools a bit more back to the rider to d

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Brentford - Premier League

Image
Tottenham may have their manager for the future in Ange Postecoglou, but it looks as if the club's trophy drought will continue until 2024/25. Spurs exited the FA Cup on Friday night after Nathan Ake scored Manchester City's first-ever goal at their shiny new home in the dying embers of a fading tie, leaving the Premier League as the only piece of silverware up for grabs. Postecoglou's side currently sit fifth in the table and eight points behind leaders Liverpool. They do, however, have a chance to go on a run over the next few weeks and potentially thrust themselves into unlikely title contention. Their tame upcoming schedule begins against Brentford on Wednesday night, and here's how they could line up for it.

Image
How many times have you heard: ‘I’ve got good news and bad news for you’? Well, it feels a little bit like that for fans of the Knicks today, who were awaiting an update on one of their key men. Sitting fourth in the NBA ’s Eastern Conference (29-17), the New York team is hoping that one of its stars, Julius Randle, won’t be out for too long, after news emerged that he would be sidelined for a few weeks due to a dislocated right shoulder, as reported by The Athletic on Monday. Fortunately for everyone involved, initial assessments from the forward’s MRI indicated no significant damage, which has slightly shortened the expected duration of his absence, which some suggested could be months. As testing continues on Knicks All-Star F Julius Randle’s right shoulder, indications are optimistic that his absence will be measured in weeks and not months, sources tell ESPN. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) January 29, 2024 What happened to Knicks’ Randle?

The St. Louis Blues host the Los Angeles Kings in a Western Conference tilt to kick off Sunday’s mini-two- Game NHL slate. NHL odds have Los Angeles listed as a small road favorite while the total has bounced between 6 and 6.5. The Under has been a profitable bet when these two teams have squared off over the past couple of seasons, with six or fewer total goals scored in seven of the past nine meetings. Will we see another low-scoring affair, or will the script get flipped? Find out in my free NHL picks for Kings vs. Blues on Sunday, January 28. Kings vs Blues odds Kings vs Blues predictions The St. Louis Blues are typically a good team to look at for Unders, given the combination of poor offensive play and good goaltending.

Bucks vs Nuggets Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

Doc Rivers said he agreed to be an in-season head coach replacement for the Milwaukee Bucks for the chance to win the NBA Championship. It's fitting, then, that his debut with his new club comes at the home of the defending champion Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are 18-4 at Ball Arena, with four straight wins in the Mile-High altitude. They’re 3.5-point favorites in the NBA odds. Winners of four of their last five, can Milwaukee deliver Doc his first win?
