More prolific than Salah: Preston sign 2018´s top scorer Stockley from Exeter

Preston North End have signed Jayden Stockley from Exeter City, the striker having scored more goals in English football in 2018 than any other player.

Stockley hit 20 League Two goals last term and has netted five times in his last three appearances to take his tally to 16 this season, earning a three-and-a-half-year deal with Championship club Preston.

The 25-year-old scored 29 league goals during 2018, one more than Liverpool s Mohamed Salah, and joins Preston for a reported £750,000 after the release clause in his Exeter contract was triggered.

Manager Alex Neil feels target man Stockley will give Preston, 17th in the Championship and winless in four matches, a fresh dimension in attack.

Kompany dreaming of leading Bayern to Champions League home final

Vincent Kompany is dreaming of leading Bayern Munich to the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena ahead of their meeting with Dinamo Zagreb.

Kompany, who replaced Thomas Tuchel as Bayern s head coach in May, has made an impressive start to life with the 33-time Bundesliga champions.

Harry Kane s hat-trick helped Bayern stay perfect after they thrashed newly promoted outfit Holstein Kiel 6-1 on Saturday to move two points clear at the top.

But their attentions now turn to the Champions League, a competition they reached the semi-finals in last year, losing to eventual winners Real Madrid.

It was their best run in the tournament since they lifted their sixth title in the 2019-20 season, going on to complete a historic sextuple later that year.

Premier League fixtures 2021-22: City start title defence at Spurs, Man Utd host Leeds, Liverpool an

Manchester City will begin their Premier League title defence at Tottenham.

Pep Guardiola s side won their third top-flight crown in four seasons in 2020-21 and there is likely to be plenty of intrigue in the build-up to the August 14 encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, given Spurs striker Harry Kane has been touted as a potential replacement for Sergio Aguero.

Chelsea denied City European glory with a 1-0 win in last month s Champions League final and Thomas Tuchel s side start their bid to unseat Guardiola s men domestically by hosting Crystal Palace, who like Spurs remain without a manager.

Manchester United were runners-up last term and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s third full season in charge will launch with a mouth-watering clash against Marcelo Bielsa s Leed…

Locatelli welcomes Juventus interest after helping Italy to Euro 2020 glory

Manuel Locatelli says talk of Juventus being interested in signing him is pleasing , but the Sassuolo midfielder has not yet thought about his future after helping Italy to Euro 2020 glory.

The 23-year-old featured five times for the Azzurri in their successful European Championship campaign, including an appearance from the bench during extra time in Sunday s victory over England in the final.

He scored twice for Italy in the 3-0 group-stage win over Switzerland and had the second best goals-per-90-minutes ratio of any Italy player (0.66) after Matteo Pessina, who scored twice in four games (0.95).

Milan youth product Locatelli also won more tackles per 90 minutes (2.32) at the Euros than any other Italy player, followed by Marco Verratti (2.02) and Federico Ber…

Premier League review 15th December 2012

Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini could face a ban after a controversial incident involving Ryan Shawcross

Manchester City recorded a much-needed 3-1 win at Newcastle in the early Premier League kick-off. City bounced back from their derby defeat with a good win at St James Park.

City took the lead on ten minutes; Sergio Aguero scoring from a tap-in after Samir Nasri had been put through by Yaya Toure.

The champions extended their lead in the 39th minute. Carlos Tevez’s corner was headed towards goal by midfielder Javi Garcia, only for Newcastle full-back Davide Santon to knock the ball into his own goal on the line.

The home side equalised in the 51st minute, Demba Ba looping a header over Joe Hart after the striker had beaten the offside trap. The…

Las Vegas Raiders Odds, Predictions, and Betting Preview 2022: Fresh Start in Sin City

Much like pineapple on pizza, there are those that love the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022, and those that don’t.

If the Silver and Black want pineapple, they’re going to have to work for it. On top of being part of the QB-rich AFC West — six division games against top-flight passers — Las Vegas draws the NFC West in non-conference collisions. All of this goes down under the watch of a retooled front office and brand-new coaching staff. 

The Raiders’ NFL odds don’t have nice things to say about the team’s postseason chances after just squeaking into the tournament last year. Let’s find out which side of the Sin City fence we sit on with our Las Vegas Raiders 2022 betting preview.

Patriots vs Cowboys Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 4: Dak and Mac Light it Up

The Dallas Cowboys stumble back to Arlington after suffering the biggest upset of the young 2023 NFL season and now must prepare for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in Week 4.

Dallas was absolutely dumped as an 11-point favorite at Arizona last Sunday, losing 28-16 to the Cardinals following two one-sided wins over the New York teams to start the schedule.

The Cowboys are still getting plenty of respect from the NFL odds in Week 4, hovering around touchdown favorites at home to New England.

The Patriots picked up their first victory of the season, edging the punchless Jets 15-10 in Week 3. New England had an uphill climb in the opening two weeks, taking on powerhouses in Philadelphia and Miami: Does Dallas still fall into that category?
