Shinji Okazaki scored inside 52 seconds as Leicester City got their Premier League campaign up and running at the second attempt with a 2-0 home success against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Two late strikes at Arsenal on the opening day had the 2015-16 champions on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller, but this time the result never looked in doubt after a goal in the game s first attack, and Harry Maguire later headed a second.
Brighton barely laid a glove on Manchester City in their Premier League debut another 2-0 defeat and they again lacked the firepower to respond after Okazaki s opener at the King Power Stadium.
The Japan international s tap-in owed much to Mat Ryan s generous goalkeeping and the lead suited a well-versed Leicester game plan as…

In a showdown between two sides who will find the moods in their camps at a high, Bayern Munich will host Freiburg on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Bayern Munich might have been left stunned by their thumping defeat away at Borussia Mönchengladbach last month, the German heavyweights have bounced back in some style. Managing to book their spot in the knockout stage of this year s Champions League in midweek as they secured an action-packed 5-2 win against Benfica on home soil, Head Coach Julian Nagelsmann has seen his side gain a reputation for their lively outcomes. Bagging over 3.5 goals in five of their last six outings across all formats, the former RB Leipzig boss will still have a headache over…
After another electric evening of Euro 2020 football, we officially know the identity of our first two semi-finalists with Spain being one of them. They were forced to really dig deep in what was, ultimately, a pretty dramatic game against the Swiss.
In the end, though, a penalty shootout was enough for the Spaniards to see off the challenge of the underdogs.
Spanish questions
There are some big questions surrounding this Spanish national team and it all stems from their inconsistency. There are times when they look like one of the best attacking teams in the world but on other occasions, all they do is play the ball back and forth without much of an impetus to their game. If they want to cause Italy problems and they re serious about making a real run to the final, th…
Hundreds of fans marched in Hannover in honour of goalkeeper Robert Enke on Thursday, on the second anniversary his tragic death.
Around 300 people gathered to march from downtown Hannover to the AWD-Arena, where they laid flowers and lit candles in remembrance of the player who served the Bundesliga club from 2004 to 2009.

USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann has no plans to make an immediate return to club management in the Bundesliga.
Speaking to Bild on Tuesday, the 47-year-old, who took charge of the US national team in the close season, expects to remain in his role for the foreseeable future.
Currently, I am not thinking about a return to the Bundesliga, Klinsmann said.
However, the 47-year-old maintains it is likely that he will have another crack of the whip at coaching in the German top-flight later in his coaching career.
My life is being carried out in the USA and I think that (a return) will happen in the future, he said.
In football, I ve learned to never take anything for granted, but I certainly won t be going back soon.
Klinsmann has so far had mi…
Chelsea have completed the signing of Nigerian youngster Kenneth Omeruo, according to the player.
The defender played a part for his nation in the 2009 Under-17 World Cup and the Under-20 World Cup a year later.
It was understood that Omeruo would be loaned out to Vitesse following the signing, but that move is believed to be off.
The talented starlet is now expected to join ADO Den Haag on loan.
He will be with the youthful Den Haag team for possibly a year or so to gain playing time and hopefully return to England to fight for a shirt in (the) Chelsea main team, Omeruo s agent Obinna Emelogu told MTNFootball.com.
It s a big challenge as a lot is expected of the player.
I believe in him and I believe after a season with Den Haag, he…

Since its launch last week, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD has attracted some backlash for some over its perceived overpriced nature, laRussia Lottounching at a price of $60 with not too many major enhancements or additions to speak of. It has, however, got off to a solid start in terms of sales nonetheless.
As shared on Twitter by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring, as per Gfk’s weekly charts for physical sales in the UK, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD was the highest selling game in the UK last week, debuting in first place.
As per Dring, it did not see “a huge launch”, but is likely to enjoy sustained sales over a prolonged period, as Luigi’s Mansio…
With Team Asobi’s Astro Bot available this week on PS5 and celebrating the PlayStation brand via its many VIP Bots, PlayStation outlined plans for its upcoming 30th anniversary. It also released a new logo, with various devices and controllers making up the signature PlayStation face buttons.
However, eagle-eyed users like Wario 64 on Twitter have noticed what could be the PS5 Pro’s design between the PlayStation symbol and the “3.” It matches the design outlined by Dealabs’ billbil-kun in their report last week, which described a similar panel-based design to the PS5 Slim but with three stripes on its outer panel.
Sony hasn’t said anything about this, but an announcement is reportedly coming in the first half of this m…
