Macaulay Langstaff of Notts County is currently the top scorer in League Two but last season, the 27-year-old from Stockton was being hailed as ‘the non-league Erling Haaland ’ because of the sheer stupidity of his numbers.
Goal-a-game Langstaff said he was thrilled with that comparison at the time, as anybody would be. I’m not so sure Haaland will share in his delight upon hearing how Roy Keane has likened him to Langstaff in a way, saying the Manchester City striker’s all-round performance against Arsenal was like that of a ‘League Two player’.

Bedlam ensued at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as Chelsea gave away their lead twice against a 10-man Burnley side who also had no manager for the majority of the game.

Sandro Tonali’s first appearance for Newcastle against Aston Villa may be something of a collectors item. He delivered a fine goal contribution to help the Magpies win 5-1 – but it would be just one of 12 appearances he’d make this season before he was suspended for 10 months.
It’s ever so easy to be wise after the event, which is why there’s a clip circulating on social media of an unwise yellow card Tonali picked up during that match, writes RIATH AL-SAMARRAI. He has delved into the questions surrounding THAT video and why sporting director Dan Ashworth is being scrutinised after the Italian was charged for fresh betting breaches by the Football Association this week.

READ: GRAEME SOUNESS: Why Liverpool have it tougher in the Premier League run-in than Man City and Arsenal
To quote Sir Alex Ferguson, it truly is squeaky bum time in the Premier League title race and Liverpool are going to have to deal with unprecendented levels of tension and emotion until the end of the season.
Jurgen Klopp is preparing for his farewell this summer but the pressure to go out on a high will be pressure that Arsenal and City don’t have to deal with, writes GRAEME SOUNESS. He has analysed the title run-in and what he believes is one of the most fiercly-contested scrap for the Premier League in recent memory.

When Mikel Arteta first took over at Arsenal, the Gunners were soft. Demotivated. Directionless. Dysfunctional. The Spaniard knew what was wrong, he just had to find a way to fix it. Since then the Spaniard has attempted to create a culture, laying down the law to discipline players and fix the bones of a broken club.
Arteta always has a quirky way of motivating his players and five seasons later his unorthodox methods have lifted Arsenal to the top of the Premier League as he prepares to face his former mentor at Man City Pep Guardiola.
IAN LADYMAN has taken a look at the secrets of Arteta’s revolution at Arsenal and how he turned a club dismantled by Man City into one of their main rivals.

Four years on from his appointment, the only madness around Ruben Amorim is that he is not yet at one of Europe’s continental giants. He will be soon. He has scored high on data tests led by Liverpool and will almost certainly get invited to interview for the soon-to-be vacant manager’s job.

Rumours of a split in Chelsea’s American powerbase – strongly denied by club officials – have swirled around Stamford Bridge for months. After March 28’s Mail Sport exclusive, revealing that Chelsea WILL appoint a new chairman to replace under-fire Todd Boehly in 2027, will do little to dispel them.
However, the reality is that – thanks to the extraordinary agreement struck by Boehly and majority stakeholders Clearlake Capital – a switch five years after the takeover was always likely to happen.

We care first and foremost about what these lads do for us on the field. We want them to win.

The 53-year-old is reportedly Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s preferred candidate to replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, should the Dutchman depart at the end of the season.
In his Mail+ Sport column, GRAEME SOUNESS argues Southgate should ignore interest from Old Trafford and remain in charge of England instead. This Three Lions squad have at least two more tournaments in them – going by their age – and he should hang around and enjoy the fruits of that.
