Liverpool & Chelsea demonstrate title credentials in feisty Anfield draw

  For 45 minutes of Saturday's royal rumble between Liverpool and Chelsea, one thing was clear: we were witnessing two genuine Premier League title challengers lock horns. The intensity, aggression and quality on display was undeniable, and both sides were proving exactly why they've won major silverware over the past couple of seasons. Ultimately, the competitive balance was thrown off-kilter by Reece James' red card on the stroke of half-time, but there was enough evidence for us to name the Reds and the Blues as 'up there at the end of the season'. The first half was the most intense half of football of the season so far. Liverpool started with their typical gusto and industry, while Chelsea deployed Thomas Tuchel's intricate game plan, soaking up the Reds' early enthusiasm. Then arrived the sucker-punch. Mason Mount whipped a corner into the front post, and Kai Havertz was waiting to loop the ball over Alisson Becker and into the net with a stunning head

Why PDP hasn’t won Lagos governorship election since 1999 – Bode George

A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, tells TOBI AWORINDE about the crisis rocking the party and the inability of police to unravel killers of Funsho Williams Some have expressed criticisms that you, as the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, has been unable to lead the party to victory in a governorship election since 1999. Why is that? That is a load of trash. The process of electioneering in this country in the 21st century is a joke, where people are carrying papers by hand from your polling unit to the collation centre. It doesn’t make sense. We’ve been talking about electronic voting, nobody is listening. It’s a joke. Somebody in Lagos has stolen so much money that he’s richer than Nigeria, so how can you win an election? Look at the last local government elections in Lagos. The people were so despondent that they didn’t come out to vote. It was a disgrace because they are tired of this life. You say, ‘You cannot

Lionel Messi 'chooses' to join Paris Saint-Germain - contract details revealed

  Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to hand Lionel Messi an enormous contract worth €40m (£34m) a year after tax as the Argentine closes in on a sensational move to Parc des Princes. Messi's wish to stay at Barcelona was dashed after the club confirmed on Thursday that they could not figure out a way to make a contract extension work within La Liga's financial regulations, and PSG have been chasing his signature for the past 24 hours. Chelsea have also been suggested as potential suitors, but PSG are well ahead in the race for his signature, and when you see the kind of numbers they're suggesting, it's not hard to see why. According to L'Equipe, PSG are prepared to hand Messi a ludicrous £34m per season (after tax) to convince him to make the move. For comparison, Neymar takes home a slightly less ludicrous £30m per year. Those figures come as part of a three-year contract, the last of which is expected to be optional for Messi. PSG's primary goal is to get Messi
