A title challenge in shambles. Marcus Rashford and his Man United teammates didn’t help Arsenal’s title challenge one bit at the weekend, but Leicester’s draw to West Brom appeared to have let them off the hook.

A trip to Malaga isn’t exactly a straight forward task for Gary Neville’s Valencia. Having ended a recent good run with a defeat at the weekend, Valencia were given a huge helping hand (literally) courtesy of Malaga’s goalkeeper, Idriss Carlos Kameni.

Luckily for us, Manchester City had […]
