Son Heung-min scored his 100th goal for Tottenham in all competitions as he netted against Leeds United, with Harry Kane the provider once again.
The South Korea forward, who moved to north London in 2015, has been in sensational form in 2020-21, and moved onto 99 Spurs goals with a cool finish on the break at Liverpool in December.
Son drew a blank in his next three outings, failing to find the target as Spurs went down 2-0 to Leicester City, before he had a goal disallowed in an EFL Cup win at Stoke City and then only managed one attempt at goal in a 1-1 draw with Wolves on December 27.
However, after Wednesday s scheduled game with Fulham was postponed, his landmark effort came against Leeds on Saturday.
Kane – who has now assisted nine of Son s 12…
According to a recent report from Sky Sports News, Bournemouth have made an enquiry regarding Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose. It was noted yesterday that six top flight clubs could be interested in making a move for Rose as he continues to edge closer and closer towards an exit from North London.
Alongside Bournemouth it appears as if Newcastle United and Watford have entered themselves into the race in a big way, although right now, the Cherries have put the furthest foot forward.
Rose hasn’t really been featured all too heavily in Tottenham’s starting XI this season, signalling the beginning of the end for a run that has been pretty memorable for the Englishman.
From his goal against Arsenal all those years ago to the Champions League final la…
Former defender Andrea Barzagli has returned to Juventus in a role that will see him work closely with the first team.
Barzagli, 38, retired from playing at the end of last season after helping Juve claim an eighth successive Serie A title all of which he was involved in.
The 2006 World Cup winner, capped 73 times by Italy, is now making a return to the Bianconeri as part of Maurizio Sarri s backroom staff.
Juventus described him as a technical collaborator of the first team when announcing the appointment, and said Barzagli would be present at training on Thursday.
He is back! has returned home!

Barzagli was signed from Wolfsburg in 2011 and went on to make over 250 appearances for the current…
France, Brazil and Portugal are the only sides to have already secured World Cup knockout football, with numerous teams facing a nervy final matchday as they bid to reach the round of 16 in Qatar.
Pre-tournament favourites Brazil breezed through Group G with wins over Serbia and Switzerland, while France became the first reigning world champions to escape the group stage since the Selecao in 2006.
Portugal made sure of their round-of-16 spot after Monday s Group H victory over Uruguay, yet the likes of England, Spain, Germany and Argentina all need results on matchday three to progress.
The Netherlands are another big name that have yet to confirm their place in the latter stages of FIFA s top tournament, while Belgium face a tense Group F clash with Croatia to a…
Jurgen Klopp insisted the distance is too far between Liverpool and Manchester City to talk about the Premier League title race after a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.
Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain offered the Reds control with goals in the first half at Selhurst Park, but Odsonne Edouard s second-half strike teed up a nervy ending on Sunday.
Fabinho sealed all three points from the penalty spot after Vicente Guita was ruled to have fouled Diogo Jota, though Klopp s side owed much credit to goalkeeper Alisson for victory.
The Brazilian was required to make four saves, the joint-most of his 2021-22 campaign along with performances against Brighton and Hove Albion and Leeds United, as Liverpool managed a 10th straight victory over Palace in the league.
Manchester City s 2-1 defeat to local rivals Manchester United has seemingly put an end to their title challenge for this season.
Pep Guardiola s two-time defending champions have won two of their last five Premier League matches and are now 14 points behind leaders Liverpool, with Leicester City six clear in second.
Now, City must bounce back as they take on Arsenal, who finally ended a nine-match winless run – their worst streak since 1977 – with a 3-1 triumph over struggling West Ham.
With temporary boss Freddie Ljungberg having got that first win under his belt, can he put himself right in the frame to be the next permanent Gunners manager by shocking City?

Getting a new era underway at Ibrox on Thursday night, Rangers will welcome Hibernian to Ibrox as the former champions look to make up some ground in the title chase.
Rangers
Starting with the hosts, crashing out of this season s Champions League earlier in the year after a nightmare campaign on the European stage, Rangers will get a new era underway here. Making the call to appoint new boss Michael Beale last month, the former QPR boss will be desperate to get his tenure off to a flying start here. Although the Scottish giants might find themselves sitting nine points adrift of defending champions and bitter rivals Celtic, the Blues should be boosted by an eye-catching friendly display last weekend. Breezing their way to a 3-0 victor…
While Real Madrid might have completed a stunning last-gasp turnaround in the capital on Saturday evening, it was not enough to help Los Blancos make it back-to-back La Liga crowns.
Despite Karim Benzema and Luka Modric bagging two goals in the final minutes after Yeremi Pino s first-half opener for Villarreal, Atletico s 2-1 victory away at a relegated Real Valladolid was the final nail in Madrid s title ambitions.
In what was a lively meeting at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano, we have taken a look at what are the three big talking points after a rollercoaster day for the now-former Spanish champions.
End of the road for Zidane?
While Real Madrid might have completed that remarkable turnaround on Saturday evening, all eyes will firmly be on what the future ho…
Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font and former president Joan Laporta have welcomed Lionel Messi s decision to stay at the LaLiga giants.
The Argentina superstar sent shockwaves through world football last week when he announced he wanted to leave Barca in the wake of the humiliating 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.
LaLiga disputed Messi s claim that he could leave on a free transfer courtesy of a clause in his contract, though, and insisted any potential suitor would have to negotiate with Barca or pay the €700million release clause in his contract, with his option to leave for nothing having expired on June 10.
That resulted in Messi confirming on Friday that he would remain at Camp Nou because the option of a fre…
Dele Alli must power through the mental barrier to rediscover his form for Everton otherwise his wasted potential will be a tragedy , according to Toffees great Neville Southall.
England international Alli ended a seven-year spell with Tottenham to move to Goodison Park in January, with the midfielder signing a two-and-a-half-year deal in what was reported as an initial free transfer.
Everton will reportedly be obliged to pay £10million for the midfielder after he makes 20 appearances and subsequent performance-based add-ons may take the eventual figure as high as £40m.
The 25-year-old is yet to find his feet on Merseyside, while a torrid run of form has left Everton just one point above the relegation zone after earning only 12 points since the start of Octobe…
