Arsenal players need to be told to stop acting "like babies," according to former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Petit. Arsene Wenger's men have lost two of their opening three Premier League games, including a 4-0 defeat at Liverpool before the international break. The nature of the defeat at Anfield, where Arsenal did not have a shot on target and had goalkeeper Petr Cech to thank for the scoreline not being even worse, led Wenger to call the performance "disastrous'.' Former World Cup winner Petit, who helped Arsenal to the double in 1998, believes the players need a major wake-up call if the club are to achieve success this season. "When I see them play......Read more at �

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised 18-year-old striker Kylian Mbappe, claiming he could become the next Pele. Mbappe, who joined PSG on a season-long loan from Monaco on deadline day with a clause for the club to buy him for €180 million plus bonuses next summer, has become one of the world's most sought-after teenagers. And Wenger insists that there are comparisons to make with arguably the world's greatest player of all-time, Pele, who broke into the Santos team aged 15 in 1956 and won the World Cup with Brazil two years later -- scoring a brace in the final. "He [Mbappe] can be like Pele, there are no limits to his game," the 67-year-old .....Read full details and sportnews at �

Isco scored two remarkable goals to help Spain to a commanding 3-0 win over Italy to take firm control of UEFA World Cup qualifying Group G on Saturday.

Spain now hold a three-point lead over the Azzurri with three games remaining, with only the group winners guaranteed of a spot in Russia next summer, while the runners-up must go through a playoff.

Isco opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a stunning free kick after Leonardo Bonucci dragged down Marco Asensio 20 yards from goal, sending his shot up and over the wall so that even the great Gianluigi Buffon had no hope of reaching it.

He then doubled Spain's advantage five minutes before the break. After taking a pass from Andres Iniesta at the top of the box, he wrong-footed Marco Verratti while dribbling to his left, then put a low shot back to his right inside the near post.

Italy offered little response in the second half, and Alvaro Morata made sure ......(800 more words)..Read full details here �

Towards the end of last season, we looked at the 15 potentially most important players for Chelsea in the 2016-17 Premier League title run-in.

With a brand new campaign under way and the summer transfer window shut, some have departed or slipped, while others have grown in importance. Here's Antonio Conte's revised list of crucial performers.

This list is not extensive and has been ranked according to varying factors. Some players still with a part to play, like Kenedy, have been omitted. And there are some notable names missing too -- more on them later.

Performance, potential, the ability to make an impact and influence the course of a game, other options in that area of the field, the ability or inability to replace them and market value have all played a part in revising the 15.

1. N'Golo Kante (no change)

It may be some time before we see Tiemoue Bakayoko in full flow and Cesc Fabregas is defensively limited, meaning Kante's energy and intelligence will be crucial regardless of who he is paired with. He should also help former Leicester City teammate Danny Drinkwater settle quickly at Stamford Bridge.

2. Eden Hazard (+3)

Diego Costa's exile means Hazard is now Chelsea's most reliable match winner as well as their most talented player. Conte's men may not have struggled for goals without him in their opening three Premier League matches, but they know they will need their superstar back for the tougher challenges that lie ahead.

3. Alvaro Morata (new entry)

Conte's new "point of reference" is still adapting to the physical demands of the Premier League as well as his coach's tactical requirements, though he has made a positive start. Chelsea need him to be an elite No.9 if they are to have any hope of meeting their Premier League and Champions League ambitions.

4. Marcos Alonso (+4)

Chelsea's failure to prise Alex Sandro from Juventus has heightened Alonso's importance to the success of Conte's 3-4-3 system. Kenedy is the only player in the squad with a similar skill set, and he is not in the same class. Then there are the Spaniard's stunning free kicks, and his knack for scoring key goals.

5. Cesar Azpilicueta (-1)

Now vice-captain at Stamford Bridge, Azpilicueta has ...Read full list and drop ur comments at �� �
