…..Tottenham 1-4 Arsenal

LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Tottenham Hotspur’s title hopes have suffered a significant blow after a 1-4 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Eberechi Eze (32′, 60′) and Viktor Gyökeres (60′, 90+3) scored the goals that sent Spurs crashing to defeat, with the latter’s brace sealing the win for the Gunners.

The loss leaves Spurs struggling to keep up with the pace at the top of the Premier League table, with Arsenal now five points clear at the summit.

Randal Kolo Muani had briefly brought Spurs back into the game with a 34th-minute equalizer, but it was a case of too little, too late for the visitors.

The defeat is a major setback for Spurs, who had been looking to mount a serious challenge for the title.

In other Premier League action, Liverpool edged Nottingham Forest 1-0 courtesy of a late Mac Allister strike, while Fulham hammered Sunderland 1-3 and Crystal Palace pipped Wolves 1-0.

The wins have given Arsenal a valuable boost in their title push, and they will be looking to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.

PSG triumph over Tottenham to lift UEFA Super Cup

Shaffie A Mtambo

UDINE-(MaraviPost)-Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) claimed the UEFA Super Cup title after a dramatic comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur in Udine, Italy.

The match, played at the Dacia Arena in front of a packed crowd, delivered plenty of drama and excitement for neutral fans.

Tottenham took the lead early in the first half but PSG refused to back down.

The French champions halved the deficit in the 78th minute when Kylian Mbappé finished clinically from inside the box after a slick passing move.

With just minutes left on the clock, substitute Gonçalo Ramos pounced on a defensive error to level the score at 2-2, forcing the match into penalties.

In the tense shootout that followed, both sides held their nerve early on, but Tottenham faltered when Maddison’s spot-kick was saved by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

PSG’s captain Marquinhos then stepped up to convert the decisive penalty, sealing a 4-3 win in the shootout.

The victory marked PSG’s first UEFA Super Cup triumph in their history, adding another trophy to their growing European ambitions.

Tottenham, making their first appearance in the UEFA Super Cup, were left heartbroken but earned praise for their performance, especially their dominant opening hour.

Manchester United prepare to take on Tottenham after dismal league campaign

Maravi Post Reporter

Manchester United have the chance to salvage something from a historically bad league campaign on Wednesday when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final in Bilbao.

Despite languishing in 16th place in the Premier League table with a mammoth record 17 defeats, the ‘Red Devils’ remain unbeaten in Europe and progressed to the final with a 7-1 aggregate demolition of La Liga outfit of Athletic Bilbao.

That win means Ruben Amorim’s side now have a chance to now secure Champions League football for next season via the back door of winning the Europa League – despite the dismal league campaign.

Defender Harry Maguire, who has once again become an integral part of Ruben Amorim’s system despite an up-and-down few years with the club, says the players will ‘give everything’ in a huge match for the club. “Of course, it’s a big game,” said the defender, speaking ahead of the final. “We know it’s such a big game for everyone, the fans, after such a disappointing season for the club. But we believe in ourselves, we believe that we can beat anybody on our day.”

Meanwhile, Tottenham captain Son Hueng-min spoke of his desire to make history by winning his first major European final with the club when Spurs face Manchester United for the Europa League on Wednesday.

Son, who will be entering the last year of his contract next season, is determined to get his first and only trophy since joining the club in 2015.

Mazraoui calls premier league season “Shitty” ahead of Europa League Final

Maravi Post Reporter

Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui has delivered a candid assessment of the club’s turbulent season, bluntly labelling their Premier League campaign as “shitty” while pinning hopes on a Europa League triumph to salvage pride.

Speaking at the club’s media day ahead of next week’s Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao, the Moroccan international didn’t hold back.

“Europa League season will be a big success, but the Premier League season will be shitty,” Mazraoui said. “That’s just the reality. Of course, in the end, you might have a trophy, but the Premier League is the main competition — it’s every week, week in, week out, and that’s what people judge you on.”

Mazraoui, who joined United after spells at top European clubs, admitted the losing culture this season has been difficult to digest.

“I come from clubs where I’m not used to losing. I will never get used to losing, wherever I am. So yeah, it’s painful,” he said. “Life is sometimes painful, and you just have to go through it.”

Despite the disappointment, the defender remains upbeat ahead of the high-stakes final, drawing on his World Cup experience with Morocco.

“It’s not my first high-pressure game. I’ve played in a World Cup semi-final,” he said. “This is similar in a way. I love the pressure.”

Manchester United’s domestic woes hit a new low after their 17th league defeat — a 2-0 home loss to West Ham — which left them 16th in the Premier League table. Head coach Ruben Amorim described the season as “embarrassing,” even suggesting it might be the worst team in the club’s history.

United now look to the Europa League final as a last chance at silverware — and Champions League qualification — in what has been a chaotic campaign marked by inconsistency, internal tension, and mounting pressure on players and staff alike.
