Erling Haaland Fires Blank as Manchester City Stumble in Title Race After 1-1 Draw With Relegation Threaten West Ham United—-City fire power Erling Haaland’s goal drought continues as City drop points in the Premier League clash at the London Stadium.

Manchester City were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in their Premier League clash at the London Stadium on Saturday night, a result that dented the champions’ hopes of catching the league leaders.

City took the lead in the 31st minute through Bernardo Silva, whose attempted cross from the right drifted over everyone and found its way into the far corner of the net.

However, the advantage lasted only four minutes as West Ham responded from a corner. Defender Konstantinos Mavropanos rose highest to power a header that struck the crossbar before bouncing over the line to level the score.

Erling Haaland endured another frustrating night in front of goal, extending his league drought to three matches. The Norwegian striker saw one effort saved by goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and later dragged another shot wide from inside the penalty area.

City continued to push for a winner but were unable to find the finishing touch. Matheus Nunes and Jérémy Doku both missed good opportunities, while Hermansen produced further saves to deny Ryan Cherki and Rodri.

The draw ended City’s four-match winning run and leaves Pep Guardiola’s side on 61 points from 30 matches, nine points behind league leaders Arsenal F.C., who earlier defeated Everton F.C. 2-0.

Elsewhere, Chelsea F.C. suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United F.C. at Stamford Bridge, leaving the Blues with just one win in their last five league matches and still struggling to strengthen their position in the top five.

SC Freiburg Make History with Dominant Win Over Celta Vigo to Reach Europa League Semis—-Freiburg booked a historic place in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the first time after a commanding 3-1 win over Celta Vigo, sealing a 6-1 aggregate triumph.

Julian Schuster’s side, who carried a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Germany, finished the job in style away from home with goals from Igor Matanović and a brace by Yuito Suzuki.

Freiburg effectively ended the contest before half-time, scoring twice in quick succession. Matanović opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a powerful volley after a clever build-up involving Matthias Ginter and Jordy Makengo.

Suzuki doubled the lead six minutes later, combining neatly with Jan-Niklas Beste before finishing calmly. The Japanese midfielder added his second early in the second half, converting from close range after a flowing team move set up by Vincenzo Grifo.

Celta Vigo managed a late consolation through Williot Swedberg, but it did little to change the outcome as Freiburg cruised through.

Having already broken new ground by reaching the quarter-finals, Freiburg now advance to their first-ever European semi-final, where they will face either Real Betis or Sporting Braga.

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
