Sels saved nicely to disclaim Leandro Trossard and Saka as Arsenal failed so as to add to their benefit earlier than the break.

Midfielder Partey, on for Jorginho, was given an excessive amount of area to bend an outstanding effort previous Sels and 17-year-old Nwaneri put the icing on the cake together with his first Premier League aim, a scientific low end contained in the put up within the 86th minute.

Manchester Metropolis hosted Tottenham Hotspur within the Premier League after Pep Guardiola renewed his contract on the Etihad – but it surely failed to vary the momentum of his workforce, as Spurs ran out unimaginable 4-0 winners to inflict a fifth straight defeat on Metropolis.

Pep’s contract wasn’t Man Metropolis’s reply – however Maddison is likely to be Spurs’

19:56 , Karl Matchett

5 in a row has taken on a special which means for Manchester Metropolis and Pep Guardiola. It was supposed to suggest their pursuit of an unprecedented fifth consecutive English title. As a substitute, the quick significance comes from one other historic first. Guardiola has misplaced 5 consecutive matches, his worst ever run bookended by reverses towards Tottenham Hotspur.

If the primary scarcely left Metropolis distraught, with Guardiola unworried by exiting the Carabao Cup, the most recent was extra emphatic, extra significant, extra chastening, extra beautiful. Guardiola’s joint heaviest defeat turned a humiliation. He dangers being expelled from the title race. Metropolis may discover themselves eight factors behind Liverpool on Sunday, maybe getting back from Anfield subsequent week 11 adrift.

Empires can collapse out of the blue and dramatically however Metropolis’s was alleged to have been strengthened. This started as a night of celebration; it turned certainly one of humiliation and capitulation. The brand new-contract bounce, of Guardiola committing his future to the membership till 2027, lasted for about 12 minutes of soccer. The gaudy on-pitch presentation of the Ballon d’Or to Rodri was adopted by an illustration of how a lot Metropolis miss their injured talisman. A 3rd straight league defeat confirmed a now acquainted fragility. Metropolis had been caught on the break too simply and too usually. A workforce with no correct defensive midfielder misplaced to 1 with a potent attacking midfielder.

As a result of, whereas the Spaniard gazed on from the stands, the dominant determine was James Maddison. Maybe a match Rodri would have prevented his seven-minute double – Maddison was left unmarked for every, fantastically as he took them – because the recalled, resurgent Englishman upstaged the Metropolis supervisor and award winner. He as soon as infamously stated that, when he goes out for a roast dinner along with his household, he desires to be the principle man.

He turned this night into his twenty eighth birthday celebration. Maddison had spent a lot of the final month on the bench. This was fairly a comeback.

One other save from Vicario, denying Haaland, then De Bruyne commits a foul and the whole lot will get a bit unnecessarily offended. Pushing and shoving, everybody grouped within the Spurs field, then it settles. De Bruyne is booked for his deal with.

Remaining ideas from Richard Jolly as we enter the sport’s late levels:

“Is there any manner again for Metropolis? Guardiola shuffled the pack on the break, shifting Lewis into the center and Foden to the left, however with out making a serious distinction. He has now introduced on Kevin de Bruyne and Jack Grealish; Grealish is now the third performed to go on the left wing for Metropolis tonight. Guardiola could also be tinkering extra in desperation than with inspiration.”

Two extra probabilities for Metropolis as Silva will get in behind the Spurs defence and tries a cut-back, nearly cleared, then Vicario is known as upon as a fierce strike is geared toward his close to publish.

The keeper berates his teammtes for letting Metropolis have this dominant spell, however then Akanji commits a foul on the sting of the field and is outraged when it’s really given.

68’ – Man Metropolis 0-3 Spurs

19:03 , Karl Matchett

Metropolis appear bereft of concepts and intent on this half. That Porro purpose has actually taken their hope and their standard ferocity.

Kevin de Bruyne is about to make his return but it surely should be some efficiency from him to assist them again into this match.

64’ – Man Metropolis 0-3 Spurs

18:57 , Karl Matchett

First change for Tottenham as captain Son is changed by Brennan Johnson, the South Korean having been on worldwide responsibility but in addition injured previous to that, so some minutes-managing there maybe. Maddison has the armband now for the guests.

“Manchester Metropolis got here from 2-0 down at house to Tottenham to win 4-2 in January 2023, an evening notable for Guardiola calling his workforce the ‘completely happy flowers’. This time, nonetheless, the third purpose of the sport has gone to Spurs. Pedro Porro was utterly unmarked, whereas the influential Kulusevski made the purpose with a wonderful run down the left.

18:19 , Karl Matchett

Three minutes added on. The house followers sounding very displeased at current, impatient when their workforce don’t get the ball within the field but in addition at Spurs slowing the sport down a bit.

Walker goes in on Maddison forcefully and is fortunate to flee with no reserving.

42’ – Man Metropolis 0-2 Spurs

18:14 , Karl Matchett

Vicario continues amid boos from the house crowd. He was caught increased than that by Savinho so maybe the touchdown jarred his foot considerably.

Silva provides the ball away twice in a number of seconds, Kulusevski does properly as soon as extra and Sarr bends a shot properly over the crossbar.

Son then has a taking pictures likelihood after being performed in by the Swede, who has been wonderful to date this night, however he cuts inside as an alternative and is blocked out by three defenders.

Vicario goes down once more and desires consideration.

Richard Jolly on the Emirates: “A really completely happy birthday to date for James Maddison, even when Metropolis’s celebrations of Pep Guardiola’s new contract and Rodri’s Ballon d’Or are falling a bit flat. Guardiola’s newest try to compensate for Rodri’s absence has been to play a 4-4-1-1 formation. Phil Foden is discovering house as a No 10. The issue for Metropolis is that they, with out Rodri, they haven’t tracked Maddison when he has scored. It additionally feels a bit odd to see Rico Lewis, who may have been used in the midst of that midfield, as an alternative out on the correct.”

36’ – Man Metropolis 0-2 Spurs

Nearly an opportunity, nearly a mistake. A lofted cross sees Porro head again towards Vicario however quick – the goalkeeper has to hurry out to get there earlier than Savinho, who catches him with a lofted boot, however only a foul no card.

Guardiola in dialog on the bench along with his coaches – that new two-year deal hasn’t made any quick change to Metropolis’s fortunes.

17:58 , Karl Matchett

One other likelihood at one finish for Haaland, one other second of hazard brought on by Son on the different. Neither result in the goalkeepers needing to intervene, however Metropolis look so cautious now each time Spurs look to counter-attack.

We haven’t actually seen Foden on the ball an excessive amount of, nor out on the correct really – he’s very slim and nearly behind Haaland, leaving Walker the entire flank to run at. He hasn’t received ahead a lot but although and is struggling towards Son the opposite manner.

GOAL! 19’ – Man Metropolis 0-2 Spurs

Richard Jolly on the Etihad:

“Early reward for a few Ange Postecoglou’s choices: bringing again James Maddison, who has scored, but in addition the ensuing shift of Dejan Kulusevski, Spurs’ finest participant this season when in midfield, to the correct wing. However Kulusevski invariably performs properly on the Etihad. He has scored right here on every of Tottenham’s three earlier journeys. Now he has an help already.

Discuss of the satan…!!

Haaland has one other likelihood and between the 2 pictures he’s had, you’d completely again him to nail one – however this one is once more off the mark, a very good strike this time exhausting and low however Vicario makes the save along with his toes.

Gundogan clips a ball excessive of the Spurs defence and Walker makes the darting run past – however can’t fairly stretch to loop a cross over.

All Metropolis within the opening exchanges, and the primary actual opening falls the best way of Haaland – however his first contact is dangerous! Silva and Gvardiol open the defence up however the striker’s management is de facto poor, he can’t shift his toes and ultimately simply blams the ball straight at Ben Davies, who’s at centre-back in the present day.

Deflected behind and that’s a nook…which Spurs clear.

Cam Skattebo carried the load as soon as once more for Arizona State, speeding for 147 yards and three touchdowns. His reward was a well-earned celebration with followers.

Twice.

Skattebo had one other huge sport, Sam Leavitt threw for 247 yards and No. 21 Arizona State held on within the ultimate minutes to beat No. 14 BYU 28-23 on Saturday. The tight end was capped by a weird ultimate minute, together with a untimely discipline storming by Arizona State’s followers that took roughly quarter-hour to clear earlier than BYU heaved a ultimate Hail Mary that fell incomplete.

“We received the soccer sport,” second-year coach Kenny Dillingham stated. “We beat one other ranked staff at Mountain America Stadium. So that is all in regards to the guys. These guys battled, these guys fought and located a option to win. No matter occurred on the finish, it occurred.

“You already know what? We obtained to hurry the sphere twice, how about that?”

Javan Robinson’s interception with 1:04 left gave the impression to shut it out for Arizona State, however the Solar Devils stalled on the following offensive drive. Leavitt threw the ball out of bounds on fourth down, and Arizona State’s scholar part — believing the sport was over — rushed the sphere.

However officers dominated there was 1 second left, and BYU had a shot on the Hail Mary try from its personal 49. BYU coach Kalani Sitake argued for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which might have moved the ball nearer to the top zone, however he did not get it.

1000’s of followers needed to be cleared from the sphere earlier than Jake Retzlaff’s deep cross fell incomplete just a few yards wanting the top zone.

“This sport did not come right down to that,” Sitake stated. “That is simply the sport. This ref crew was superior; they communicated properly with me. We had an opportunity to snap the ball from the 49. We might have liked to have it nearer, however that is simply the sport. The sport wasn’t received or misplaced in that second.

“It was the 59 minutes and 59 seconds earlier than.”

Sitake stated officers knowledgeable him that the Large 12 Convention made a ruling that there can be no unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Nonetheless, sources informed ESPN’s Paolo Uggetti that the decision was not made by the convention however by Greg Burks, who’s the coordinator of officers and a part of the officiating crew.

Sitake stated he wasn’t upset on the officiating crew, nevertheless it was an emotional loss for the Cougars, who doubtless had their Faculty Soccer Playoff hopes dashed.

“I used to be attempting to cling on to as a lot hope as I may,” Sitake stated. “It is OK. None of our guys have been damage. There was no huge difficulty there. They finally cleared it and we have been in a position to get that one play. I perceive the followers’ pleasure and vitality.”

The shocking Solar Devils (9-2, 6-2 Large 12) have received 4 straight and now discover themselves on the perimeter of the Faculty Soccer Playoff dialogue. BYU (9-2, 6-2) has misplaced two in a row, all however dashing its CFP hopes.

Arizona State took a 28-9 lead when Leavitt hit a wide-open Xavier Guillory for a 61-yard landing with 2:06 left within the third quarter, however BYU rallied, slicing the margin to 28-17 lower than 90 seconds later when Retzlaff hit Jojo Phillips for a 21-yard rating.

Arizona State stayed aggressive with a wonderfully executed onside kick that was recovered by Plas Johnson. Six performs later, Skattebo broke by means of the road once more and sprinted 23 yards for his third landing of the primary half.

The Related Press contributed to this report.

It’s grow to be a well-known chorus for BYU in its main sports activities: Tantalize the trustworthy with flashes of brilliance, then crumple within the clutch.

It’s like clockwork. Strut, then stumble. Allure, then choke. For all of the discuss of applications on the rise and applications to look at, BYU has this uncanny capacity to catch fireplace after which, simply when the sport is on the road, depart its fan base standing on the altar, questioning what might need been.

Saturday’s 28-23 loss to the No. 21 Arizona State Solar Devils was no exception. The Cougars, after reeling off three touchdowns and a area purpose on 4 possessions to climb again from an 18-point deficit, discovered themselves with an opportunity to drag off a type of “bear in mind the place you had been when” moments with two minutes left.

However then, with the set off in hand to a exceptional comeback, quarterback Jake Retzlaff threw an interception at midfield, and with that, No. 14 BYU’s once-promising comeback vanished.

For a program that has seen so many thrilling finishes, you’d assume BYU would have found out learn how to seal the deal by now, but right here they had been once more, left questioning what might need been.

“Two weeks in a row we had an opportunity to win the sport with the ball in our palms. We simply can’t hold placing ourselves in a gap towards these groups. We had been down 5 with two minutes to go and I preferred our probabilities,” stated BYU head coach Kalani Sitake.

The sport had all of the drama of a Hollywood script: The Solar Devils shot out of the gate, taking a 21-3 lead into halftime aided by a recovered onside kick that gave them an additional possession.

For BYU, it was a primary half to overlook. The Cougars had been outmuscled within the trenches, outplayed in practically each section, and at that time, it appeared as if they had been simply biding their time till the inevitable finish.

However then got here the second half.

BYU flipped the script. The Cougars began shifting the ball with authority, scoring 20 factors in a comeback that had followers buzzing. Retzlaff, the hero of untamed finishes towards Oklahoma State and Utah, started to seem like the poised quarterback everybody thought he might be when given time to throw and a little bit of house to breathe.

However BYU’s failure to transform two two-point tries late within the sport was the turning level. Had the Cougars made these, it will’ve been 28-27—establishing the potential for a game-winning area purpose.

As a substitute, they had been left needing a landing, and the interception sealed their destiny.

Make no mistake, this loss didn’t occur within the final two minutes. BYU misplaced this sport within the first half when it was totally dominated. The Cougars had been outgained by ASU 208-114 within the first half and confirmed little signal of life on offense.

At halftime, they’d scored simply two touchdowns of their final 29 possessions. For a staff making an attempt to ascertain itself within the Large 12, that’s a troublesome lesson discovered.

However the comeback was at the least a glimmer of hope, one thing to rally behind in what’s been a season stuffed with dramatic swings. With a win, BYU might’ve, at worst, stayed tied on the high of the Large 12 standings and probably clinched an look within the convention championship sport.

Now, the Cougars discover themselves needing others to assist. With Colorado’s loss to Kansas, the Large 12 is a three-way tie at 6-2 amongst BYU, ASU and Colorado.

Iowa State might make it 4 if it knocks off Utah later Saturday. BYU’s path to Arlington now requires some assist, specifically an Iowa State loss to Kansas State within the Cyclones’ final sport.

Within the grand scheme, it was a sport of missed alternatives. The Cougars confirmed they will compete within the Large 12. They’ve the expertise to play with the massive boys, however when it comes right down to crunch time, the offense has been too erratic — too many scoring droughts, too many instances when the wheels fall off in key moments.

In a league the place you’ll be able to’t afford to blink as soon as, BYU has blinked many instances.

The massive image is that this has been a yr to recollect for the Cougars. They had been picked to complete close to the underside of the Large 12 standings, and but they’ve discovered themselves ranked within the high 10 within the nation and holding their very own within the convention.

They’ve given their followers hope, but it surely’s been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and now the trail to the Large 12 title sport appears a bit of extra distant.

BYU now has a house finale towards Houston subsequent Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, an opportunity at 10 wins, which again in August appeared unimaginable.
