EPL: Big result Bruno Fernandes reacts to Man Utds 2-1 win against Chelsea OGUN STATE TELEVISION
The Nigerian defender had 12 clearances, blocked four shots, won two aerial duels and was never dribbled past in what was a complete performance. The Andalusian club cashed in on star players Dodi Lukebakio and Loic Bade in the summer. They also let Stanis Idumbo join Monaco, but those exits were primarily needed to balance the books.
He concluded, “In the second half, we came back, and overall, we deserved to win the game. They were waiting for our mistakes, and you can’t get frustrated.” Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised his team’s resilience, saying, “It is huge. It was a tough game, especially mentally.” Joe Cole was surprised by a tactical decision made by Enzo Maresca during Monday’s victory against West Ham.

The ceremony, which was held on February 2, 2025, featured a diverse range of performers and nominees, with Nigeria being heavily represented. Other notable Nigerian artists who garnered nominations included Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, Asake, Rema, Yemi Alade, and Lojay, each representing the rich tapestry of contemporary African music. Though they did not take home the awards, their nominations alone signify the growing recognition of African talents in a competitive global arena. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has revealed that he was inspired by a conversation with Pep Guardiola on Wednesday morning before the 2-1 win over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
“This is what I love about my team, they always want to score goals, it’s always like that,” Flick told reporters. Barcelona, unbeaten this year in 20 matches, took the lead through a Ladislav Krejci own goal near the end of the first half. However, Chelsea’s fortunes changed in the second half, with substitute Pedro Neto scoring the equalizer. Chelsea manager has admitted that the club’s win over West Ham on Monday night was one of their toughest games. Livingston took an early lead in the game when Joel Nouble fired home a low shot from the centre of the box with his right foot after being set up by Jason Holt.
Little was expected from Sevilla this season, following a 17th-place finish and a difficult summer, but they’ve started well under Matias Almeyda. This was after a thrilling 3-1 home win over Napoli in their last-16 second leg gave them a deserved 4-2 aggregate victory on Tuesday.

Yet, two minutes later, they could have scored with a powerful shot by Laura Muller but goalkeeper Rachael Unachukwu saved. No team has scored more goals from set pieces than Arsenal this season, and it was from one that they took the lead — Gyökeres firing in from close range after Rice’s corner. I see no need for taking this championship into extra time had the opposition not displayed arrogance, greed and ego by refusing to work together to achieve a landslide victory. Obviously, a majority of the voters voted against the party in power indicating their aversion to the KWAM 1 Team of Oyetola.
The Zambians were still scrambling for the winner when Awoniyi popped up again to dampen their enthusiasm four minutes to regulation time. With Mukuka Mulenga and Shadreck Malambo shooting each time they neared the Nigerian box, goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel had to be at his best to keep the Young Chipolopolos at bay. The game monitored by The Guardian started on a furious note, with the hosts apparently wanting to score an early goal to douse their supporters’ anxiety. But the much-maligned Fred and the weeping David Luiz can perhaps take some comfort from the fact that they weren’t the subject of all the tweets, or even most of them. The most-mentioned honour went to Miroslav Klose as he became the new World Cup record goalscorer.
Moments later, Luiz Suarez was brought down in the PSG box and Neymar made no mistake to level the game at 5-5 aggregate for his team from the spot. The midfielder, who was criticised after recent below-par performances, found the back of the net with a lob after a fine one-two with second-half substitute, Olivier Giroud, nine minutes from time. Technology played a major part in the game, especially in the decision of Pogba’s goal. Before match day, Ogun State was third on the overall medal table with 38 gold, 24 silver, and 34 bronze medals (96 in total). Bayelsa was in second place with 45 gold, 34 silver, and 30 bronze medals (109), while Delta maintained a commanding lead with 66 gold, 39 silver, and 59 bronze medals (164). Firmino completed his hat-trick, from the penalty kick spot, driving home in front of the Kop after Sead Kolasinac was ruled to have pushed over Dejan Lovren.
The pronouncement has introduced an extra time into the battle between the Broom-wielding Gboyega Oyetola and the Umbrella-protected underdog, Ademola Adeleke. As things stand, election victory is hanging and these players would need further consolidation during the extra time to clinch the number one position of ‘O-shine’ State. However, Man City will also find it difficult to stop Guirassy, Adeyemi and other attacking players of Niko Kovač’s team. In each of the previous three rounds, Borussia scored 4 goals, and only Juventus managed to evade defeat thanks to impressive willpower and incredible luck.
With the victory, Morocco became the fourth African nation to qualify for the quarter-finals in the FIFA World Cup history after Cameroon, Senegal, and Ghana achieved similar feats in 1990, 2002, and 2010 respectively. A quick glance at the Flashscore statistics reveals other interesting facts, too. The highest ever win for them was in 1946, when they beat Finland 12-0 in a friendly. In doing so, they deprived Croatia of the top spot (15.31 from four games), ahead of whom the Czech Republic, perhaps surprisingly, reigned supreme earlier in the week (12.34 from five games).
Undaunted, the Green Ladies stepped up another gear, and could have reduced the tally in the 39th minute when Nigeria conceded a penalty kick. Yet, two minutes later, they could have scored with a powerful shot by Laura Muller but goalkeeper Rachael Unachukwu saved.

The Gunners recorded a 5-1 aggregate win over the 15-time champions of the competition after a 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium last week. England then survived a scare just before the break when James Beadle prevented Jarell Quansah from deflecting into his own net, but the Czech goalkeeper wasn’t so lucky just moments after the restart. Tino Livramento’s cross was nearly deflected in off a defender, but James McAtee picked up the pieces and laid it back to Harvey Elliott, who added to his seven goals in qualifying by striking low through the legs of Lukas Hornicek. England’s defence of the 1 win UEFA U21 European Championships title began with a 3-1 win over 2002 champions Czech Republic, the Three Lions’ seventh victory in eight competitive outings. After dominating proceedings in the game but failing to score in the first half, Hibernian finally found the equaliser early in the second half thanks to a Nohan Kenneh header which was well deserved for the visitors.
