Live Sport : Tottenham vs man united Premier League
Matthijs de Ligt’s goal in the 96th minute canceled out Richarlison’s seemingly decisive strike in the 91st, as Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United played out a dramatic 2–2 draw in North London on Saturday.
In this repeat of May’s Europa League final, it appeared that Rúben Amorim’s improving side would come out on top when Bryan Mbeumo scored in the 32nd minute against his former Brentford coach, Thomas Frank.
Spurs fans voiced their frustration at halftime, as the team had managed only three home league wins in 2025. However, the hosts turned the tide, with substitute Mathys Tel equalizing in the 84th minute.
When Richarlison deflected Wilson Odobert’s fierce shot into the net in the first minute of stoppage time, it seemed that Frank was finally about to earn his first major home victory in five months as head coach.
But home celebrations were short-lived, as in the sixth minute of added time, De Ligt rose to head home from a corner, earning United a 2–2 draw and extending Amorim’s unbeaten run to five matches.
Seven players from each team had also featured in that Europa League final night in Bilbao. United arrived in London in strong form after a difficult September under Amorim, while Tottenham were still seeking their first home league win since August.
Mbeumo looked threatening early on, despite being caught offside twice, but Spurs should have taken the lead in the 17th minute.
Young Xavi Simons set up Brennan Johnson, who cut inside and delivered a superb left-footed cross — only for Richarlison to send the ball wide off his shoulder.
It was a golden chance, and just five minutes later, another Brazilian forward, Matheus Cunha, came close as well.
Cunha beat Cristian Romero to enter the box, but Pape Sarr deflected his shot out for a corner.
Chances remained limited until the 32nd minute, when Amad Diallo broke the deadlock.
A careless pass from Sarr put Micky van de Ven under pressure, allowing the visitors to regain possession. Amad then played in Mbeumo, who escaped Pedro Porro and headed the ball over Vicario to score.
When Spurs finally attacked, Johnson and then Porro wasted opportunities with poor crosses, drawing boos from sections of the crowd at halftime.
The hosts woke up after the break. Substitute Odobert crossed to Romero, whose backheel effort was brilliantly saved by Janis Lämens.
Just a minute later, in the 56th, Lämens also denied João Palhinha’s half-volley.
Amorim then brought on Benjamin Šeško, and Spurs did get the ball in the net, but Johnson was flagged offside.
Thomas Frank responded by introducing Destiny Udogie, and in the 70th minute, after United captain Bruno Fernandes fired over, fans expressed frustration at Xavi’s substitution.
Frank’s joy soon returned when his substitutes combined for a goal: Odobert found Udogie, whose cross reached Tel, and the young forward smashed a fine shot into the top corner six minutes from time.
When Šeško went off injured, leaving United down to ten men, home fans sensed victory. Their hopes soared as Richarlison deflected Odobert’s cross into the net, sending the stadium into raptures.
But Amorim’s men struck in true “Fergie Time,” as De Ligt outjumped Rodrigo Bentancur to head home Bruno Fernandes’ corner past Vicario, rescuing a point for United. [...]
Messi’s Rare Nightmare: Inter Miami Faces ‘Trophyless Season’ Risk
Current Situation at Inter Miami
Inter Miami, owned by David Beckham, built a star-studded squad with Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez to make a mark in MLS. Fans had high hopes that the team would clinch the MLS Cup or Leagues Cup.
However, reality has been different. Inconsistency on the field and defensive lapses have cost the team crucial points, putting them at risk of finishing the season without any silverware.
Messi’s Personal Efforts and Challenges
Even now, Messi continues to deliver magical moments — his goals and assists remain invaluable for the team.
The Teamwork Challenge
Football is a team sport, and even Messi’s brilliance cannot guarantee victories. In several matches, defensive weaknesses allowed wins to slip away.
Pressure on Messi
Fans expect Messi to win trophies every season, adding extra pressure on the superstar to deliver results.
What a Trophy less Season Would Mean
If Inter Miami ends the season without a title, it would be a rare moment in Messi’s MLS journey. This would not only impact the team but also highlight the challenges Messi faces in leading a new squad to glory.
Historical Context
Throughout his career, Messi has rarely experienced a season without any trophy. That’s why this situation is both intriguing and slightly bitter for fans.
Looking Ahead: The Road to Recovery
Lessons for the Team
This season’s setbacks serve as a reminder: big names alone aren’t enough. A balanced squad, young talent, and strategic planning are crucial for success.
Hope Through Messi’s Leadership
Messi’s experience and leadership can guide Inter Miami toward future success. There is still hope that next season, the team will be back in the race for silverware. [...]
Azam Khan Says Former Players Can’t Digest Babar Azam’s Success
Lahore News: Pakistani cricketer Azam Khan has said that some former players cannot digest Babar Azam’s fame and success.
In an interview, he stated that Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan are attacking captains, while Babar remains calm and composed on the field.
Azam Khan described Babar Azam as Pakistan’s top batter, saying that in the past ten years, Babar has been the only truly talented batsman who earned recognition for Pakistan through his batting.
According to him, Babar didn’t have any legendary players supporting him, yet he rose to prominence and now enjoys stardom comparable to Shaheen Afridi’s.
Azam further claimed that many former cricketers find it difficult to accept Babar’s massive popularity, adding that if social media had existed during their era, they might have been equally famous.

Pakistan News Rashid Naseem Sets Four New World Records — Shines Again on the Global Stage
Bucharest, Romania (Daily Mirror News):
Pakistan’s internationally acclaimed martial arts champion Rashid Naseem once again brought pride to the nation by setting four new world records at the international show “The Ticket” held in Romania.
According to details, Rashid astonished judges and spectators alike with his speed, strength, and precision during a single live performance. The audience erupted in excitement and applause as he demonstrated extraordinary martial arts skills that reflected his years of dedication and discipline.
Rashid began his performance by breaking concrete blocks with his elbows, followed by crushing beverage cans while blindfolded. In another astonishing feat, he hammered a nail using only his head, and finally wowed the audience by smashing coconuts and soft-drink cans with lightning-fast precision.
At the end of the event, Rashid presented the judges and attendees with traditional Sindhi Ajraks, a symbol of Pakistani culture, which was warmly appreciated by the crowd.
It is noteworthy that Rashid Naseem has previously performed in Italy, Germany, Spain, South Korea, China, Singapore, and Romania, winning recognition for his exceptional martial arts talent.
Rashid now holds the most world records by any Pakistani athlete, proudly representing the country without any government sponsorship and continuing to bring honor to Pakistan on the international stage. [...]
Sahibzada Farhan – A Power Hitter Who Needs More Than Big Shots
The year 2025 has been the most important one for Sahibzada Farhan in T20 Internationals. For the first time, he got a consistent run and scored 580 runs at a strike rate of 129.
But when we look closely at the numbers, there’s an interesting — and slightly worrying — pattern:
380 runs came off just 77 balls, including 36 sixes and 41 fours.
The remaining 200 runs took 477 balls to score.
This clearly shows that while Farhan is brilliant when the boundaries are flowing, he struggles badly when they aren’t.
There are two key issues in his batting:
1. Poor strike rotation – He finds it hard to take singles and keep the scoreboard moving.
2. Weak ball placement – Most of his ground shots go straight to fielders, resulting in too many dot balls and rising pressure.
In T20 cricket, boundaries matter — but the ability to rotate strike is just as crucial. Right now, Farhan’s explosive hitting is covering up these weaknesses, but once teams start analyzing his aerial shots and set better fields, scoring will become much harder for him.
Sahibzada Farhan earned his place in the national team through outstanding domestic performances. He’s a clean striker and capable of playing match-winning knocks. However, it’s time for him to go beyond just power hitting.
He should spend more time reviewing his full innings, identifying flaws in shot placement and rotation, and improving his overall game — instead of just uploading short clips on social media. [...]
