AXED Chelsea boss Graham Potter flew off for a sunshine holiday — and checked his old side’s result on the way. He spent £20,000 of his £13million pay-off on a Maldives break with his wife and three children. After changing at Dubai, he was in his Maldives-bound business-class seat when he got his phone out to see Chelsea had drawn 0-0 with Liverpool. A source said: “Graham certainly wasn’t cracking open the champagne, and, if anything, looked a little glum. “He perked up during the flight — perhaps knowing Chelsea still struggled without him gave him a lift. “He played games with his son and also had…

Mohamed Salah’s transformation into one of the best footballers on the planet has been an incredible one. The 30-year-old, who signed for Liverpool five years ago, has been at the heart of The Reds’ success domestically and in Europe over recent seasons. And he’s not done yet either, with the player set to stick around for a few more years at least thanks to a bumper new contract. He has been a machine in front of goal, scoring 156 times in just 254 games – winning three Premier League Golden Boots over the last five seasons. That deadly consistency is no doubt helped by…

LUKE SHAW gave Manchester United fans a reason to worry as he hobbled off against Brentford. The defender headed straight down the tunnel in the 37th minute of the Premier League fixture. Shaw was replaced by Tyrell Malacia by manager Erik ten Hag. As the Red Devils’ defender made his exit from the pitch he was seen holding his hamstring. It is an unfortunate blow for Shaw who was making his 250th appearance for the club. The defender only recently extended his stay the club by signing a new contract. And fans were quick to share their worry for the defender on social media. One Tweeted: “Luke Shaw…

JUST five years ago, Jadon Sancho was a relative unknown quitting Manchester City’s academy to try his luck at Borussia Dortmund. Getting £7million for the young Englishman, then just 17, appeared good business. But with hindsight being 20/20, it may be one of the biggest transfer blunders ever – up there with Chelsea getting rid of Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah. Fast forward to 2022 and England international Sancho joined City’s local rivals United after the club agreed a £73million deal plus add-ons. The now-22-year-old star isn’t the only player City let slip through their fingers… we take a look at seven of the…

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN is back in first-team training in a huge boost for Manchester United. The Danish star has been missing since the end of January after he was poleaxed by a reckless challenge by Reading’s Andy Carroll in an FA Cup tie at Old Trafford.

Chelsea versus Liverpool is the most played English football fixture in the 21st century. These two sides have met 71 times in the last 23 years – a rivalry filled with European Cup battles, domestic cup finals and historic clashes. But this in reality felt like a game between eighth and 11th, as it was. It was a game filled with mistakes and thus, it was the class of N’Golo Kante, on his first start since August, that truly stood out on what was otherwise a forgettable game of football. This was a night of change at Stamford Bridge. Six in total for…
