Argentina took the lead just one minute into the second half when Mac Allister got on the end of Nahuel Molina’s cross. Earlier, Poland were up in arms when Argentina were awarded a controversial penalty kick after a VAR check for a foul on Messi. But Szczesny could do nothing but scramble when Mac Allister took his shot even before Poland could settle down after the restart. It’s a dream come true,” Mac Allister told reporters.

Nigerian govt fumes over UK, US embassies' security alerts

By Rotimi IjikanmiNigerian Government on Tuesday expressed strong disapproval over security alert issued by some embassies alleging plot by terrorists to attack government and public facilities in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

Pep Guardiola said Manchester City “don’t have a chance” of beating rivals Manchester United at the weekend if they repeat the performance that saw them eliminated from the EFL Cup. Next up for City is a trip to in-form United in the league on Saturday, and Guardiola accepts a big improvement is needed from his side at Old Trafford. “It’s a different competition, but of course, if we perform in this way we don’t have a chance,” he said in his post-match press conference.

Klopp fumes, blames Firmino, Virgil van Dijk for Liverpool's defeat

Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool’s defeat at Nottingham Forest was inexplicable as he condemned the finishing by his players at the City Ground. After back-to-back 1-0 wins over Manchester City and West Ham in the Premier League, Liverpool went down by the same scoreline on Saturday, with former Anfield reserve Taiwo Awoniyi getting the only goal. Klopp pointed the finger of blame at Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk for spurning great chances, as the Merseyside club lost to a team who began the day at the foot of the table. A third league loss in their opening 11 games was a jolt for a Liverpool team who had been looking to close an early-season gap to the top four. “Apart from that, all the chances they had we gave them because we kept playing the wrong passes in the centre,” Klopp said.

Khadija Shaw shines as Manchester City thrash Tottenham

Khadija Shaw’s brace and another goal from Lauren Hemp helped Manchester City make it back-to-back wins in the Women’s Super League with a 3-0 victory at Tottenham. James was dispossessed inside her own half and Hemp passed into Shaw, who took her shot early and drilled into the bottom corner from 25 yards. In between Shaw had taken a ball to the face from close range but was able to carry on. Shaw squandered another opportunity with 21 minutes left when she scuffed wide after Lauren Coombs pass and it briefly lifted the hosts. Rehanne Skinner saw Evelina Summanen produce a dangerous cross before Drew Spence curled over but Man City provided the sucker punch in the 76th minute.
