Bukayo Saka revealed a pre-match message from Thierry Henry helped make sure Arsenal did not allow history to repeat itself at home to West Ham.

Saka’s second-half penalty ensured the Gunners downed London rivals West Ham by a 2-0 score on Saturday in Mikel Arteta’s 300th match in charge of the club.

It was a milestone occasion with Saka able to mark his 200th appearance in the Premier League with a goal, which Henry had previously achieved. It brought up 100 goal involvements in the division for the England attacker. Asked about those stats and Henry, Saka told broadcasters:

“I’m really happy on these records. I’m just going to keep pushing and try and get some team trophies, which is what we have been searching for.”

Arsenal should have scored after 13 minutes but Viktor Gyokeres could not finish off Saka’s dangerous delivery and Eberechi Eze blazed the rebound over.

The deadlock was broken seven minutes before half-time when Eze had a shot saved by Alphonse Areola and Declan Rice made no mistake against his old club.

West Ham remained in the contest until Jurrien Timber was bundled over in the penalty area by El Hadji Malick Diouf and Saka tucked away the spot-kick for his first goal of the campaign after 68 minutes to seal a comfortable victory at Emirates Stadium.

It was Saka’s 55th goal in the Premier League to go with 45 assists. “I don’t really like to linger on these things, but you said it – it’s a beautiful achievement and I’m really proud of it,” Saka, 24, said.

“Obviously 200 games for Arsenal in the Premier League is a really big moment. I’m going to enjoy it and it was nice to get the goal as well and the win.”

Arteta talked up Saka’s “really impressive” numbers, saying: “When you look at those numbers, 200 games, 100 goal involvements, I mean it’s unbelievable.

“His age, what he’s doing, the manner that he’s doing it as well, really impressive. That’s the kind of players that we need to achieve what we want.”

Nuno Espirito Santo handed a debut to West Ham academy graduate Callum Marshall over experienced forward Callum Wilson.

“First of all, let’s be correct and I said it, it’s not easy to play a young lad in front of Callum Wilson, but I think it’s important for us that

we all understand that we need as soon as possible to have total knowledge of what we have in the squad,” Nuno said.

“It’s good on that aspect but this is the issue and the main reason behind that is we are going to need all of them. We have hopes that the young lads bring new things.”

Visitors graft their way to 228 before Mohammad Abbas removes both Yorkshire openers

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay23-May-2025

Nottinghamshire’s Ben Slater and Joe Clarke posted battling half-centuries and new England Lion George Hill claimed five more wickets for Yorkshire during a fascinating opening day of Rothesay County Championship cricket at Headingley.Division One leaders Notts, inserted, were bowled out for 228 by a White Rose side who sat second-bottom ahead of this seventh fixture of the summer.Opener Slater made 52 off 111 balls and Clarke 64 off 151, while Hill’s seam accounted for 5 for 40 from 20 overs – his third haul of five wickets or more in as many matches. He is now the joint-leading wicket-taker in the country with 32.Yorkshire closed on 10 for 2 from 12 overs in reply, Mohammad Abbas striking twice.If things go well for Notts over the next few days, and if they go on to prise the title away from Surrey, this could be a pivotal day. That wasn’t because they dominated. Instead, they showed impressive fortitude in challenging conditions. They could quite easily have been bowled out for 150.Yorkshire constantly challenged, with Jordan Thompson claiming three wickets and new-ball seamer Jack White an excellent 2 for 23 from 16.2 overs.Yes, Notts had some luck. They continually played and missed. But they made decent use of it, and it feels like a useful total even though they lost their last five wickets for 36. Just how useful will become clear on day two.With Clarke and Lyndon James together in a sixth-wicket partnership of 71 either side of tea, that was when the visitors looked most secure.Dom Bess won his first toss in charge as Jonny Bairstow’s replacement. This was the first time in seven matches this season that Yorkshire haven’t batted first. And they started well, with White removing visiting skipper Haseeb Hameed, brilliantly caught one-handed at point by James Wharton diving low to his right – 9 for 1 in the sixth over.Even with a score of 6, Hameed became the first man in Division One to pass 700 runs.With 12 millimetres of grass left on the pitch for Yorkshire’s second home game running, the seamers got plenty of assistance. But Slater repelled the new ball and shared 56 for the second wicket with fellow left-hander Freddie McCann through to late morning. Slater reached his fifth fifty of 2025 off 109 balls.McCann fell just before lunch with the score on 65, caught low down at first slip off Thompson for 28. And when the same bowler clipped Slater’s off-stump shortly after lunch, two balls after he reached 50, the score slipped to 102 for 3 in the 38th over.That was the first of three wickets to fall for 19 runs inside nine overs, with Notts now 121 for 5 in the 47th. Hill bowled Jack Haynes shouldering arms and shortly afterwards bowled South African Kyle Verreynne through the gate.Yorkshire came into this fixture with some significant selection headaches, not least losing captain Bairstow to the Mumbai Indians for the latter stages of the IPL. Hill and White were the standout bowlers. They shared 13 of 25 maidens Yorkshire bowled. Thompson also impressed.Clarke reached his fifty off 123 balls and, with the help of 29 from James, advanced Nottinghamshire’s cause. But Yorkshire hit back to limit the damage.The 71-stand between Clarke and James was broken by Thompson’s third wicket – the latter caught behind by wicketkeeper Harry Duke following a top-edged pull.In the next over, Liam Patterson-White offered Duke a more regulation catch off Hill – 197 for 7 after 73 overs. Hill then had Brett Hutton caught at second slip and Clarke brilliantly caught by Thompson on the run at third-man following an attempted reverse scoop.White wrapped things up by bowling Dillon Pennington after he had heaved a four and six.The visiting overseas seamer Abbas then had openers Adam Lyth and Fin Bean caught behind for 2 apiece before close, and the concern for Yorkshire is that in Pakistani Test star, Notts have the perfect bowler for these conditions.

كشفت تقارير صحفية عن موقف ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد ظهير ريال مدريد، من اللحاق بمباراة فريقه أمام ليفربول في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

أرنولد غادر صفوف ليفربول في يونيو الماضي وانضم إلى ريال مدريد الإسباني، وأسفرت قرعة دوري أبطال أوروبا لمرحلة الدوري، عن مواجهة بين فريقه الحالي وناديه السابق.

وعانى أرنولد من إصابة في أوتار الركبة، حيث خرج بعد ثلاث دقائق من المباراة الافتتاحية لريال مدريد في دوري أبطال أوروبا ضد مارسيليا في سبتمبر الماضي.

ويواصل أرنولد منذ ذلك الحين عملية التعافي للعودة والمشاركة بصورة طبيعية مع ريال مدريد، وقد غاب عن عدة مباريات هامة لفريقه أبرزها الكلاسيكو أمام برشلونة.

وبحسب ما ورد في صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية، سيكون أرنولد جاهزًا لمباراة ريال مدريد وليفربول في دوري أبطال أوروبا، والمقرر خوضها على ملعب “آنفيلد” في 4 نوفمبر المقبل.

ويأتي ذلك في الوقت الذي يعاني فيه ريال مدريد من إصابة ظهير الفريق داني كارفاخال، حيث أعلن النادي بالأمس أنه سيخضع لجراحة تنظير في مفصل الركبة.

ومن المتوقع أن يغيب كارفاخال عن ريال مدريد لمدة لا تتراوح بين 6 إلى 10 أسابيع، في حين أشارت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية إلى أن إصابة كارفاخال قد تجبره على الغياب لمدة تتراوح ما بين شهرين إلى 3 أشهر.

Confira as opiniões dos jornalistas do Lance!:

Rafael Marson, repórter (São Paulo campeão)

– O jogo de ida provou a superioridade de Dorival Jr. sobre Sampaoli, e o resultado maiúsculo construído pelo Tricolor no Maracanã deixa a equipe mais tranquila para jogar no Morumbi, e o Flamengo chega mais pressionado. Com o calor da torcida, o São Paulo vai vencer novamente o Flamengo e irá faturar a Copa do Brasil.

Vinicius Perazzini, editor (São Paulo campeão)

– Está nas mãos do São Paulo. Em casa, onde é forte, contra um Flamengo que parece perdido, tudo leva a crer que o São Paulo será campeão.

Izabella Giannolla, redação (São Paulo campeão)

– Tendo em vista o futebol de várzea que o Flamengo mostrou e o domínio total do São Paulo, tudo aponta que o Tricolor será campeão. Se o Flamengo não conseguiu o básico em casa e viu o São Paulo simplesmente anular a equipe em campo por diversos momentos, só por uma vacilada muito grande do Tricolor para reverter algo que já está praticamente escrito. São Paulo chega bem entre o elenco, embalado pelo forte apoio da torcida e sem técnico cambaleando. Outra história.

+ Calleri decide, e São Paulo bate o Flamengo no jogo de ida da final da Copa do Brasil

Gabriel Teles, redação (São Paulo campeão)

– O São Paulo está com a faca e o queijo na mão para levar o título. Acredito que o Tricolor acabará com a ‘piada’ e conquistará o inédito título. Como o segundo jogo é no Morumbi, acredito que a final está praticamente definida.

João Marcos, repórter (São Paulo campeão)

– Antes do jogo de ida eu já apostava no São Paulo, que tem um treinador de verdade no comando da equipe, daqueles que arranjam soluções nos momentos de dificuldade. Com a vantagem conseguida no jogo de ida, e o apoio da sua torcida, o Tricolor tem a faca e o queijo na mão para conquistar o título inédito. 

Caio Ribeiro, redação (São Paulo campeão)

– Se o São Paulo já era favorito antes do primeiro jogo, com o resultado histórico conquistado no Maracanã, agora é mais favorito do que nunca. Além disso, o resultado escancarou o abismo que existe entre os trabalhos de Dorival e Sampaoli. O São Paulo foi muito contundente e correto nas ações durante a partida, enquanto o Flamengo era um time totalmente desorganizado. Sendo assim, diante de um Morumbi que certamente estará lotado, o São Paulo se aproxima de conquistar o único título que lhe falta.

Alexandre Guariglia, repórter (São Paulo campeão)

– Resultado não me surpreendeu e não mudou minha opinião sobre quem será campeão. De um lado há um time, que é o São Paulo, de outro há um amontoado de jogadores, que é o Flamengo. Se o Tricolor tivesse sido mais assertivo na primeira etapa, teria saído do Maracanã com as duas mãos na taça. Agora, no Morumbi, a perspectiva é de mais uma apresentação de um coletivo contra uma bagunça, ou seja, título inédito para os são-paulinos. Somente uma melhora muito drástica dos rubro-negros para mudar o cenário.

It is the start of a crucial period for Tottenham Hotspur, so can they continue their impressive start to the campaign?

Having accumulated 14 points so far, Spurs begin the weekend third in the Premier League table, following a 2-1 victory over Leeds United before the international break; Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus the scorers.

Next up, Sunday’s visit from Aston Villa commences a very tough looking fixture list for Thomas Frank’s team, who will take on Everton (A), Chelsea (H), Manchester United (H) and then Arsenal (A) in their subsequent four league fixtures.

If the Lilywhites are going to collect a respectable number of points from these matches, Frank must make one key star, reminiscent of Dele Alli, a central figure, both literally and figuratively.

Dele Alli's rise and fall at Tottenham

Last month, Dele Alli was released by Como, having made just one appearance for the Lariani, this a nine minute cameo against AC Milan at San Siro in March, cut short as he was sent off.

That was his first, and so far only, appearance for anyone for 748 days, back in the footballing wilderness at the age of just 29.

In his pomp though, Dele was one of the best midfielders in the world, earning 37 England caps, starting against Colombia, Sweden and Croatia as the Three Lions reached a first World Cup semi-final in 28 years back in 2018.

For Tottenham too, as the graphic below demonstrates, he made 269 appearances for Tottenham, directly involved in 126 goals, a key figure in Mauricio Pochettino’s incredibly strong side.

During this period, Pochettino labelled him “one of the most talented players in England”, while teammate Harry Kane stated “Dele has everything. He scores goals, makes runs, creates chances. He’s an unbelievable player”.

That ability to both create chances as a midfielder but also score goals like a centre-forward is what made prime Dele unique, so which member of the current Spurs squad could replicate this?

Tottenham's new Dele Alli

During a pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul, James Maddison ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for, probably, the entirety of this season.

Thus, Tottenham acted fast, knowing that they needed to add some creativity, so, after failing in the attempt to sign Eberechi Eze, acquired Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig for £52m, who isn’t a bad alternative.

The Dutch international has been highly-rated for many years now, making his senior debut for Paris Saint-Germain, before really announcing himself on loan at PSV Eindhoven, scoring 22 goals and registering 11 assists during the 2022/23.

More recently, he has been at RB Leipzig, certainly impressing during his two seasons in Saxony, with Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout labelling him a “game changer”, while his market value has now soared to as much as £97m, as per CIES.

The Dutch international has featured in each of Tottenham’s last four Premier League matches, starting three of them, but is yet to score for Spurs, his sole assist coming on debut against West Ham.

So, let’s take a look at his statistics so far.

As the table notes, Simons has pretty impressive attacking statistics at Tottenham so far this season, despite the lack of tangible end product.

However, the majority of his minutes have come as a left-winger, which is very much not his best position, significantly more likely to thrive in a number ten role.

Well, against Leeds a fortnight ago, he was finally deployed through the middle, flanked by Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert, with Mathys Tel leading the line.

This has to be the set-up Frank uses going forward, especially in matches where Tottenham are going to be dominating territory and possession.

The recent 1-1 home draw with bottom of the table Wolves the prime example of this, with Simons shunted out to the left flank, with João Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur both starting at the base of midfield, which felt unnecessarily cautious.

Simons scored ten Bundesliga goals last season, the second-most of any midfielder, behind only Jamal Musiala, showing that he can be a goal-scoring threat when utilised correctly.

In his prime at Spurs, Dele was unplayable as a goal-scoring number ten, and Simons has shown similar attacking instincts at previous clubs, so he needs to be given attacking freedom in a similar way.

The PBKS captain scored an unbeaten 41-ball 87 to take his team to their second IPL final and first since 2014

Shashank Kishore01-Jun-20251:53

Moody: Shreyas identified key moments to go into the fifth gear

“Relax, rejuvenate, get a massage, and be in a great mindspace.”That is Shreyas Iyer’s agenda ahead of Tuesday’s IPL 2025 final, where he’ll have the chance to win a second straight title as captain, this time with Punjab Kings (PBKS), following his success with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) last year.Iyer played a truly special innings to get there. His unbeaten 41-ball 87 in Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians (MI) took PBKS to their second IPL final, their last one coming way back in 2014. Iyer’s knock contained eight sixes, including four in what became the match’s final over as PBKS won with six balls to spare.Related

Iyer was a picture of composure as he struck the winning runs, even as his team-mates rushed onto the field to celebrate.”I don’t know, to be honest,” he said of his demeanour. “I love big occasions. I say to myself and my colleagues, the bigger the occasion, the calmer you are, and you’ll get the best results. Today I was focusing on my breathing rather than sweating it out.”Iyer also spoke of an attitude shift in the PBKS camp since their defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 three nights ago. He said he had underlined to the team that one bad game wasn’t going to define their season. Having thrown the “hiccup” against RCB “in the bin”, they wanted to show “intent and positivity” going into a knockout clash against MI.”All the players need to be assertive,” he said. “Show intent from ball one. We weren’t able to capitalise on the start, but the intent was stupendous. Even for me, when I went out there, I had to take some time, but the batsman at the other end [Josh Inglis], he was striking pretty well. I know the more time I spend on the field, the better I play and my vision also gets better.”‘Today I was focusing on my breathing rather than sweating it out’•Associated Press

Iyer’s handling of a group of hugely talented uncapped Indian players at PBKS has come in for widespread praise. Among this group is Nehal Wadhera, who made crucial 29-ball 48 during an 84-run stand off just 47 balls with his captain.”I just let them be, don’t ask too much of them,” Iyer said. “I love the fearless nature we bring to the table, the ideas they share. Talk to any of them and they’ll have a fair set of ideas on how to play a situation. Even if they haven’t got that much experience, I feel they have that brave nature, and in such big occasions, it’s important they need to gain more experience.”Asked to jog back to auction day and the prospect of going to a new team, Iyer revealed he wasn’t focused as much on going to a particular team as he was on playing in a “good environment”, which he said he got at PBKS this year.”I am very comfortable around the management and everyone around me and the environment is very positive,” he said. “I am just staying in the moment, cherish the situation. I want to go to the dressing room and celebrate with team-mates about getting into the final. But in my mind the job is only half-done, so I don’t want to think too much about the final.”

أدلى المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، آرني سلوت، بتصريحات عقب فوزهم على ريال مدريد مساء يوم الثلاثاء، في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، موسم 2025/26.

واستضاف ملعب “الأنفيلد” مباراة فريقي ليفربول وريال مدريد في خضم لقاءات الجولة الرابعة من دوري أبطال أوروبا، مرحلة الدوري، حيث فاز الفريق الإنجليزي بهدف دون رد.

وقال سلوت، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “أنا سعيد للغاية، لقد كانت أسابيع صعبة علينا، خضنا العديد من المباريات خارج أرضنا، ونادرًا ما كنا نحصل على راحة بين كل مباراة، مرة أخرى، لقد خضنا مباراتين في وقت قصير قبل لقاء ريال مدريد، وهذا ينطبق عليهم كذلك”.

وأضاف: “من المفيد اللعب أمام هذه الجماهير، لأنني أعتقد أن ذلك يُخرج أفضل ما في لاعبي فريقي، أداء رائع ضد فريق لم يخسر سوى مرة واحدة طوال الموسم، ربما كان من الممكن أن يكون الأداء أفضل”.

وعن الحفاظ على نظافة شباكهم للمرة الثانية على التوالي، قال: “لقد قلت قبل المباراة إنهم سجلوا 26 هدفًا في الدوري الإسباني، ومبابي وفينيسيوس معًا ساهما بـ 24 هدفًا، لذلك إذا أردت الفوز بهذه المباراة، فعليك التأكد من عدم تسجيلهما أي هدف”.

وواصل: “دافع الفريق بأكمله بشكل رائع، في الضغط العالي والدفاع المنخفض، كان كونور برادلي رائعًا، مواجهة فينيسيوس مرات عديدة في مواجهة واحد ضد واحد ليست خيارًا متاحًا للجميع، لقد كان رائعًا اليوم”.

واستكمل: “قلت للاعبين إن الشيء الوحيد الذي لم أرده هو الدفاع في المنتصف، لأن هذين المهاجمين (فينيسيوس ومبابي) يتمتعان بقدرتهما على القيام بانطلاقات عميقة وتوقيت مذهل وسرعة مذهلة، لذلك إما أن نضغط عليهما بقوة أو نلعب في دفاع منخفض، لذلك لا تمنحهما مساحة، لأن 24 هدفًا من أصل 26 هدفًا تخبرك بكل ما تحتاج لمعرفته عن هذين اللاعبين”.

وأكد: “مرة أخرى يُظهر اليوم أهمية الكرات الثابتة، لقد سجلنا من خلالها أربعة أهداف في دوري أبطال أوروبا، لو سجلنا من خلالها نفس العدد في الدوري الإنجليزي، لكان لدينا نقاط أكثر مما لدينا الآن، لكننا لم نُسجل أي هدف من خلالها واستقبلنا خمسة أهداف بسببها، إذا كان هذا هو توازنكم، فلن تحصلوا على الكثير من النقاط”.

وعن الأجواء، قال سلوت: “أُعجبت بالأجواء طوال التسعين دقيقة، حتى قبل المباراة، أعتقد أن الجماهير ساعدتنا طوال التسعين دقيقة، وليس فقط خلال فترة تواجد أرنولد في الملعب”.

وفيما يخص حديثه مع أرنولد، قال: “لقد عانقته بعد ذلك بوقت قصير، لا أعرف بالضبط ما قلته، ولكن ربما ليس كثيرًا، ولكن في كل مرة أقابله، إما أعانقه أو أتحدث إليه، لأنه كان مميزًا جدًا بالنسبة لي كلاعب وكإنسان”.

وشدد: “الفوز في المباريات أفضل من الخسارة كمدرب، الخسارة تستغرق كل وقتك لأنك ترغب بشدة في تغيير الوضع، لكنك تحاول أيضًا أن تكون المدرب والشخص نفسه الذي أنت عليه عند الفوز، لقد فعلت الشيء ذاته، وأخبرتهم أنه بالنظر إلى توازن الكرات الثابتة لدينا، يصعب الفوز في مباريات كرة القدم، وأن خلق الفرص من اللعب المفتوح كان جيدًا طوال الموسم باستثناء مباراة أستون فيلا التي فزنا بها”.

وأوضح: “لذلك حاولت إخبارهم بما يحدث بالفعل بدلًا من كل الضجيج المحيط بهم، كل ما يمكنني فعله هو إخبارهم برأيي، وآمل أن يكون قويًا بما يكفي ليصدقوني”.

واختتم: “يوم الأحد مباراة أخرى قادمة ضد فريق قوي جدًا، لقد خسرنا الكثير من النقاط في الدوري الإنجليزي، لكننا نؤدي بشكل جيد في دوري أبطال أوروبا، علينا أن نتحسن وهذا ما سنحاول فعله، وهناك العديد من المباريات القادمة لنثبت ذلك”.

Newcastle United have bounced back from Alexander Isak’s troubling departure this summer with ease.

Banking Eddie Howe’s Toon an eye-watering £125m when ditching Tyneside for Liverpool, it’s clear that Isak wasn’t cut out for the pressures of such an expensive move straight away, with only one goal coming his way at Anfield to date.

On the contrary, Nick Woltemade – who entered the building in a last-ditch summer move for £69m – has looked ready-made for the pressures of being Newcastle’s main marksman from minute one of his arrival, with the goalscoring prowess he became known for in the Bundesliga immediately following him to English shores.

Woltemade's fantastic start at Newcastle

Often, it takes a goalscoring machine from a European league plenty of time to settle into their groove when getting used to what is expected of them in the Premier League.

In Woltemade’s case, however, the goals have just continued to flow, with the 6-foot-6 menace joining Howe’s ranks off the back of a blistering 17-goal season on the books of Stuttgart.

In total, Woltemade already has five goals next to his name from just ten Newcastle appearances, with journalist Zach Lowy’s previous billing of the Bremen-born striker as being a “ridiculous” finisher of chances clear for all to see at St James’ Park.

Indeed, the 23-year-old’s four-goal tally in the Premier League alone means his goalscoring frequency in the daunting division sits at every 120 minutes, as the number 27 goes about trying to immortalise himself in the Newcastle hall-of-fame as one of their most devastatingly effective centre-forwards.

It will, of course, take a superhuman effort from Woltemade to ever reach Alan Shearer’s venomous levels in front of goal, with a record-breaking 260 Premier League strikes next to the Magpies icon’s name.

But, he could be on his way to becoming even more clinical if he lines up with this Newcastle assist king more often, with the pair ready to cause widespread havoc together to push their side further up the early league standings.

The Newcastle star who can make Woltemade even better

It’s safe to say that the Germany international is blessed with who he has around him in the attacking positions on Tyneside, with Anthony Gordon capable of bursting into life at a moment’s notice as one of Howe’s many livewires down the left wing, having accumulated 24 assists to date at Newcastle.

Yet, despite this impressive track record, it’s actually Jacob Murphy who might well be the attacking teammate that can take Woltemade to new heights, despite often being thought of as an under-the-radar “unsung hero” at the Premier League giants, according to journalist Scott Wilson.

It’s clear from taking one glance at the table above that Murphy is the sort of presence that excels when he’s made to feed off scraps, with just 752 minutes of action handed to him this season, resulting in the 30-year-old attacker still being able to pick up a standout four goal contributions.

He would even get the ball rolling for his team last time out against Fulham when he finished under pressure to seal a one-goal lead, with more starts surely coming his way, having been labelled as being “in the form of his life” after his lively afternoon against the Cottagers by Newcastle-based blog Mouth of the Tyne.

But, away from his assured nature to fire this fierce effort past Bernd Leno last time out, it’s also his ability to be an effective partner for a lethal striker that will be music to Woltemade’s ears as he attempts to become even deadlier in England.

A large portion of Isak’s 62 goals in Newcastle black and white would come about off the back of a Murphy assist – 11 to be exact – with the German, therefore, hopeful of reaching this tally, and even eclipsing it, knowing he has the “outstanding” number 23, as he was once labelled by ex-Toon forward Craig Bellamy, next to him supplying him with chances galore.

With Anthony Elanga also in reserve, Woltemade should not find it tricky whatsoever in his bid to become the next Shearer-shaped talisman, having already scored four in his first six league games for the Magpies.

For comparison, Shearer’s start to 1996/97 saw him score three times from his first six top-flight appearances for the Tynesiders – albeit while then reaching seven from just his first ten league outings.

Woltemade is then on the right track, with a new fan favourite having emerged at St James’.

ونظر لاعب ريال مدريد بشكل سريع إلى خط التماس وطلب في إشارة واضحة الاستبدال، وسارع ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد في استعداده للدخول لأرض الملعب.

وفي الدقيقة 83 استبدل تشابي ألونسو فالفيردي الذي غادر الملعب على قدميه، ويبدو أن كل شيء يشير إلى تعرضه لإجهاد عضلي.

ومع ذلك فإن كل شيء يعتمد على فحوصات أطباء ريال مدريد، وتشخيصهم لإصابة فيدي فالفيردي والذي لم يتم تحديد موقفه بشكل رسمي.
