Joe Cole has warned Myles Lewis-Skelly and the rest of Arsenal’s squad that their ‘over-celebrating’ against Manchester City may come back to bite them in the future. The Gunners thumped champions City 5-1 at a rapturous Emirates to tighten their grip on second place and go nine points clear of Pep Guardiola’s side in the Premier League table. Thomas Partey, Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri all hit the target after Erling Haaland had cancelled out Martin Odegaard’s opener in what was a breathless second period in north London. The heavyweight contest proved a thrilling albeit bad-tempered affair, with players…

Tyrell Malacia has completed his loan move from Manchester United to PSV and says he is ‘happy to be here’ and ‘finally playing good football again.’ The 25-year-old has had an injury-hit time since arriving at Old Trafford from Feyenoord in 2022, making just 47 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils. The Dutchman missed the entirety of the 2023/24 season with a serious knee issue, and while he has returned to action this campaign, he is clearly out of Ruben Amorim’s plans. Diogo Dalot has been preferred at left wing-back, despite being out of position, and now Patrick…

Mikel Arteta has revealed that the rapid extent of Ethan Nwaneri’s progress has meant he isn’t even old enough to change in the Arsenal first team dressing room. The prodigious 17-year-old enhanced his burgeoning reputation with two more outstanding performances last week. Nwaneri marked the first Champions League start of his career with a superb goal in a 2-1 win over Girona seven days ago, before he delivered another eye-catching cameo off the bench in Sunday’s thrashing of Manchester City which he capped with another spectacular long-range strike. Arsenal have had high hopes for a player who became the youngest…

Fonte, now 41, also had spells at English clubs West Ham and Crystal Palace as well as European teams Benfica and Lille. It…

Mikel Arteta’s side suffered to a 2-0 defeat in the first leg meeting at the Emirates in early January but the form book makes for very different reading this week.
