Watch highlights as Christian Eriksen scores the winning goal as Denmark edge out Northern Ireland 2-1 in a friendly match in Copenhagen.
‘Next season it has to be better,’ says departing Dane Thanks ‘really supportive’ fans after difficult season Christian Eriksen believes Manchester United were lucky to avoid relegation from the Premier League and has thanked the club’s fans for not causing “chaos” when performances were poor. A dire campaign saw United finish 15th in the Premier League, a record low, winning 11 games and ending with a goal difference of -10. They collected 42 points, 17 better than third-bottom Leicester, and Eriksen was frank in assessing his final season at the club. Continue reading...
Official blew before Morgan Rogers put ball in net for Villa Villa unhappy at selection of inexperienced referee Aston Villa will lodge an official complaint with the Premier League about why a more experienced referee than Thomas Bramall was not appointed for their game at Manchester United after the official blew before Morgan Rogers put the ball in the net. This meant the video assistant referee could not intervene to rule on whether the forward had illegally kicked the ball from Altay Bayindir’s hands – as Bramall judged – and Unai Emery claimed later that this was the “key moment” that cost Villa Champions League qualification. The incident happened in the 73rd minute with the game at Old Trafford goalless and as Newcastle were losing to Everton, Villa – despite having had Emi Martínez sent off – were heading for the Champions League. Bramall’s ruling caused a furious reaction from Emery and his staff. After this Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen goals – each provoking sarcastic Emery gestures – gave United a 2-0 win. The visitors ended in sixth and so will play Europa League football next season. Continue reading...
Clubs’ tussle for supremacy in Germany may be at its end as the futures of Alonso and Wirtz remain uncertain Early on Sunday evening Bayern Munich’s players arrived a few at a time in a swish restaurant that had been opened just for them, as they prepared to commemorate a 33rd Bundesliga title (34 if you include the pre-Bundesliga crown of 1932) not quite as they had hoped, in their street clothes rather than their football strips. Bild even claimed that as Freiburg took the lead late in the first half against Bayer Leverkusen on the big screen in front of the Bayern squad (a game the 2024 champions needed to win to mathematically prolong the race) there was a loud exclamation of “Scheiße!” from at least one player who had wanted Bayern to officially finish the job themselves at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach next Saturday. It had not quite been the titanic end that anybody had hoped for, with Bayern letting in a 95th-minute Yussuf Poulsen equaliser that stopped them officially sealing it on Saturday, Harry Kane suspended so he couldn’t take part at all and Leverkusen getting a leveller in the fourth minute of stoppage time at Freiburg on Sunday which ended up meaning little to anyone apart from the hosts and their rivals for Champions League qualification.

The fine tidings for Manchester United are that they are now safe from relegation, the grim ones are that this occurred despite going down to a 15th defeat of a dismal Premier League campaign. Wolves’ winner was simple: on 77 minutes Pablo Sarabia, on as a substitute only 120 seconds before, placed a 20-yard free-kick sweetly to the left of André Onana, Christian Eriksen having committed the foul for the dead ball.
