WHAT HAPPENED?
The backlash against Oliver began after he sent off Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly for a challenge on Matt Doherty during the Gunners' clash with Wolves last Saturday. Despite VAR official Darren England upholding the decision, Arsenal swiftly lodged an appeal to revoke the player's three-match ban. The Football Association reviewed the case and overturned the red card on Tuesday, concluding that it was a wrongful dismissal.

WHAT ARTETA SAID
The situation further escalated which forced the police to launch an investigation into the threats directed at Oliver, leading to law enforcement placing his home under guard.
Reacting to the developments, Arteta called for greater efforts to eliminate such behaviour and told reporters: "Every time I talk about this topic [my view] is the same, regardless of whether it is a player or a coach or a referee. We have to really work harder to try to eradicate that part of the game that brings nothing but bad stuff, bad taste and it makes people’s lives more difficult.”
When asked if his message was directed at Arsenal supporters specifically, Arteta clarified that his appeal was meant for all involved with the sport.
“For everyone in football. It should not be permitted. We don’t want it, we don’t need it, it can only damage our sport, so let’s get it out," he said.
“We’re always putting a lot of emphasis on evolving, on where football is going in the next five, 10 years, on the rules, and all that sort of thing. But one of the most important things we can do to evolve is create an environment that’s much better at a social level, one that’s healthier, that’s nicer, in which we reward things that are not only winning, that when people make mistakes they have the chance to make amends.
"We shouldn’t be here with this hatred, these things we see, because they affect everyone and in the end, they take away the joy of this sport, the reason for it – which is to enjoy ourselves, have good moments. We are all talking about it, but no one seems to be moving strongly enough and bringing people with them to get that out of the game, because it’s just unacceptable.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite the dramatic days following his red card, Lewis-Skelly remained unfazed as the young midfielder was found sleeping when the news came through about the decision being overturned.
“He was sleeping on the plane when I looked back and I got the news,” Arteta said. “I haven’t spoken to him. I was working and he was at the back, so I didn’t [wake him up]. We are obviously very happy that the decision has been made and that Myles is going to be able to play for us again in the next few games.
“I am not an expert in the field. The club has put all the evidence and everything that they could put together to defend our position, and it was pretty fast. [It’s] so good to know today, that’s helpful, so thank you. It does affect us because we had a lot of uncertainty, not only for Sunday but for tomorrow and the next few games as well. So now we have more options, he’s going to be available, which is something very positive for the team.”

WHAT NEXT FOR LEWIS-SKELLY & ARSENAL?
The successful appeal is a significant boost for Arsenal, who face a packed fixture list in the coming weeks. After honouring their Champions League assignment against Girona on Wednesday, the Gunners will take on Premier League champions Manchester City this Sunday in a crucial league encounter.

Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Molineux, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Ashleigh Gardner among the others to gain in the latest ICC rankings
ESPNcricinfo staff12-Oct-2021Beth Mooney’s 36-ball 34 and 43-ball 61 in the two completed T20Is against India in Carrara last week have pushed her to the top of the women’s T20I batters’ rankings, taking her past Shafali Verma, who had a lean run, aggregating 22 runs in three innings. Australia won the series 2-0, after the first game was washed out, to win the multi-format series 11 points to five.Mooney, in the squad as a replacement for Rachael Haynes – who had to withdraw because of an injury – topped the scoring chart for the series and climbed to the top, while Smriti Mandhana, who tallied 70 runs for the series, went past Meg Lanning, who also had a poor run of scores, to No. 3.Among the bowlers, Sophie Molineux climbed 12 spots to No. 9 after picking up three wickets in the series at an economy rate of 5.60, playing a key role in putting the brakes on India’s scoring, as they managed just 118 for 9 batting first in the second game and 135 for 6 in reply to Australia’s 149 for 5 in the last one.Rajeshwari Gayakwad, who topped the wicket-takers’ table with five wickets in two innings, rose to No. 12.Ashleigh Gardner, meanwhile, broke into the top ten, at No. 10, in the allrounders’ rankings after picking up four wickets at an economy of 5.63.On the ODI front, Zimbabwe’s Josephine Nkomo made the biggest gains across tables after scoring 164 runs and picking up four wickets in the series against Ireland – she debuted at No. 98 for batters, No. 58 for bowlers and No. 57 for allrounders.

O Ipatinga, comandada pelo técnico Waguinho Dias, entrou em campo na última quarta-feira, contra o Patrocinense, buscando a permanência na elite do futebol mineiro e continuar vivo na disputa para classificar a semifinal da competição. A partida, atrasada da segunda rodada, se tornou heroica para o Tigre, que perdia até os 43 minutos do segundo tempo e conseguiu uma grande virada.
Com gol sofrido aos oito minutos do primeiro tempo, o Ipatinga precisou ir ao ataque para tentar resolver a permanência dentro de casa, já que a última rodada enfrenta o Athletic fora. Apesar da necessidade, o Tigre só manteve a forma de jogar que vinha apresentando nas partidas da competição, com a bola para frente e de forma ofensiva.

A gente vem apresentando isso em cada partida, nós só não marcamos gols na partida contra o Atlético Mineiro. Contra o Patrocinense foi da mesma forma, apesar do placar negativo que veio no início da partida, nós não deixamos de lutar e buscar o resultado – disse o treinador Waguinho Dias.
Aos 43 do segundo tempo, Alyson marcou um golaço empatando o jogo. Dois minutos depois, Luanderson virou a partida e confirmou a permanência do Ipatinga na elite do futebol Mineiro. Agora, o objetivo do Tigre é outro, classificar para a semifinal e assegurar vaga na Copa do Brasil e Brasileiro da Série D em 2024.
– Asseguramos a nossa vaga para o Mineiro do ano que vem. Em todo o projeto de reconstrução do Ipatinga, esse era um dos objetivos, porque agora os patrocinadores tem uma segurança da exposição de suas marcas, agora ficamos mais abertos para firmar parcerias. Além disso, com o primeiro objetivo alcançado, agora é pensar em uma possível classificação para a semifinal e garantir vagas em competições nacionais. É uma tarefa difícil, mas que vamos lutar até o fim, assim como fizemos a competição inteira – afirmou Waguinho.
O Ipatinga volta a campo, pela última rodada da primeira fase do Campeonato Mineiro, no próximo sábado, às 16h30, contra o Athletic, no estádio Joaquim Portugal. Quarto colocado do grupo C, com nove pontos, dois atrás do líder, o Tigre precisa de uma vitória e torcer para que pelo menos duas equipes, entre Cruzeiro, Tombense e Democrata, não vençamsuaspartidas.
Kapp was bedridden for three days before the final due to illness and then had to deal with the emotional challenge of playing against her wife Dane van Niekerk

Marizanne Kapp takes a break after battling in the heat•Getty Images
Player of the WBBL final Marizanne Kapp revealed that she didn’t leave her hotel room for three days in the lead-up to the final after coming down with an illness following Perth Scorchers trip to Adelaide.Kapp produced a phenomenal effort with both bat and ball scoring a critical 31 not out from 23 balls, including four boundaries, to help lift Scorchers to a competitive total of 5 for 146.She then bowled superbly in the powerplay delivering a maiden over while bowling to her wife, Strikers opener Dane van Niekerk, and finished with match-winning figures of 1 for 25.Kapp revealed she had passed a covid test in the lead-up to the game but was seriously concerned about her health.”On Monday when we travelled back from Adelaide I already wasn’t feeling too great,” Kapp said. “I woke up the next morning and I was so sick, for the last three days I was so sick and I didn’t move out of my room. I knew today was going to be really tough, especially with the heat as well. After the batting, I felt like I was going to pass out, I didn’t feel well at all, but at the end of the day it was worth it.”Kapp was on her haunches after running twos while batting in oppressive 36-degree heat. Teammate Beth Mooney revealed Kapp had Facetimed into the team meeting the day before the game but she was conserving energy in order to be able to play.”I started to show signs of feeling a bit better yesterday and this morning,” Kapp said. “That’s why I decided not to go and train this week because I knew it was going to set me back and I probably would’ve missed today. I knew it was going to be hard and luckily it was worth it.”The victory was bittersweet for Kapp. She had to deal with the emotional toll of having to play against her wife in the final. The pair had faced off twice earlier in the season with Kapp dismissing van Niekerk in both meetings. Kapp got the better of van Niekerk again in the final as they faced each other with both bat and ball. Van Niekerk bowled two balls to Kapp for two singles in Scorchers innings. Van Niekerk got off the mark with a leg glance off Kapp first ball in the chase but then faced a maiden from Kapp in the third over of the innings which stalled the Strikers momentum severely. Kapp beat the outside edge twice in the over and struck van Niekerk on the pad.”It’s never easy,” Kapp said. “When I saw that wicket earlier, I knew with the new ball there was going to be something in it and it will probably get some movement. It’s a tough wicket to get in on, and once you’re in on it becomes a lot easier.”Kapp said she would not hold it over van Niekerk in any way after the victory.”No definitely not,” Kapp said. “I already feel so bad, because I feel like the Strikers were worthy of winning the cup as well, especially the two semi-finals they played, they were absolutely amazing.”
Everton secured yet another Premier League win over the weekend, prevailing 2-0 against Ipswich Town, which moves them further away from the relegation places.
Several players have stepped up in recent weeks to drag the club up the table. Iliman Ndiaye has been in great form, scoring twice in the Premier League along with creating one big chance and succeeding with two dribbles per game. The forward is emerging as one of Sean Dyche’s most important players this season.
It is Dwight McNeil who is impressing the most, however. The Englishman has registered six goal contributions in the top flight so far this term – three goals and three assists – which is proof that he has now firmly established himself as someone the manager can trust to get Everton out of trouble.
Dwight McNeil
Dwight McNeil’s season in numbers
Since joining the Goodison Park side ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, McNeil scored ten goals across his first two seasons at the club, with just three coming in the entirety of last term.
This means he has already surpassed his tally after just ten matches in 2024/25, bagging three league goals and one in the EFL Cup.
There is no doubt that if he maintains his current form, he can score more than eight goals during a single season for the first time in his career.

Not content with just scoring or assisting, McNeil has also created seven big chances in the Premier League this season, along with averaging 3.1 key passes per game, succeeding with 1.3 dribbles per game and recovering 4.5 balls per match, indicating how excellent he has been in several other performance metrics.
The downside to these performances is that there could soon be interest in the player from other clubs, although Dyche would be within his rights to hold out for the best possible price for the 24-year-old should he be forced to sell in the near future.
Dwight McNeil
McNeil cost Everton £20m back in 2022, but they stand to make a solid profit on him when the time comes for the forward to depart Merseyside. That’s for sure.
According to Transfermarkt, the Englishman is currently valued at just £18m, which is a couple of million pounds less than his transfer fee.
Over the next few months, however, this market value will increase rapidly, taking into account his performances for the Toffees since the start of the campaign.
Within the club, he is currently the third most valuable player. Jarrad Branthwaite occupies the number one slot when it comes to valuations at Everton, yet it is a surprising name who is currently second on the list – Vitaliy Mykolenko.
The defender has seen his value increase in recent months, ranking him above players such as McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Iliman Ndiaye.
Vitaliy Mykolenko’s Everton statistics
The Ukrainian has been at Everton since January 2022 having been signed by Rafa Benitez following his impressive showings at club level for Dynamo Kyiv, while he was also a key part of the Ukraine side which reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.
Overall, the Spaniard spent around £17m on bringing the left-back to Goodison Park as he sought to improve his ailing side, who were closer to the relegation places than the top half of the table.
It didn’t take long for Benitez to be sacked and replaced by Frank Lampard. Mykolenko played 13 times for the club as they avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth.
Market Movers
Football FanCast's Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club's star player or biggest flop worth today?
The 2022/23 campaign saw the defender miss just four Premier League matches, firmly establishing himself as the first-choice left-back under both Lampard and then Dyche, who took over with just a few months of the season left.
Last term saw the Ukrainian come into his own. Across 28 league appearances, he found the back of the net twice while shining defensively when compared to his peers in Europe’s top five leagues.
Indeed, he ranked in the top 4% of full-backs for clearances (3.59), the top 12% for interceptions (1.32) and the top 26% for aerial duels won (1.18) per 90 across the previous 365 days, indicating that he is extremely reliable defensively.
Mykolenko also won 4.5 ground duels per game – a success rate of 57% – and made 2.5 tackles per match as the Toffees avoided relegation once again.
Vitaliy Mykolenko in action for Everton in the Premier League.
So far this term, the left-back has played seven matches in all competitions, losing possession just 7.8 times a game on average, while winning over 55% of his total duels.
Hailed as “incredible” by his former manager Lampard, Mykolenko has gone from strength to strength since making the move from Ukraine to England nearly three years ago.
Taking this all into account, perhaps it isn’t a surprise to see his market value soar.
Vitaliy Mykolenko's transfer value in 2024
Branthwaite is currently the most valuable player in the Everton squad according to Transfermarkt as he is now worth £35m, but Mykolenko is not far off.
Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite
Indeed, the Ukrainian is currently worth £23m and there is no doubt that this will continue to rise over the coming months.
The 25-year-old has a firm grasp on the left-back slot at Everton just now, with Dyche placing full trust in the player to consistently deliver solid performances.
Like McNeil, if his performances remain at their current high standard, there could be some interest shown in him either in January or next summer.
Dwight McNeil
With less than two years remaining on his current contract, Dyche will surely be looking to fend away any suitors by giving the defender a well-deserved extension in the next few months.

Van Dijk, along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, are in the final months of their contracts at Anfield and the players are yet to agree on new deals with the Reds. Per , if Van Dijk becomes a free agent at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, the experienced Dutch defender could head to Spain and join Barcelona.

The Catalan giants will be looking to sign a new centre-back in the summer as they are all set to part ways with Andreas Christensen, who has fallen out of favour under Hansi Flick. With Christensen out of the team, Barcelona will be keen on adding a new central defender and it is believed Van Dijk will be offered to the La Liga outfit. The club are also linked with a move for Jonathan Tah, who is keen on leaving Bayer Leverkusen.

The Sport report also adds that the Catalan club are unlikely to go after the Dutch international, though, Deco has ruled out the possibility of signing the defender due to his age. At 33, Van Dijk would not be the ideal candidate to fit into Hansi Flick's system, as per the Barca sporting director.

Fevereiro reserva emoções para o Botafogo. O segundo mês de 2022, que se inicia nesta terça-feira, traz à tona três clássicos para a equipe comandada por Enderson Moreira. Fora de campo, há a expectativa de que o passo final pela venda da SAF seja dado e John Textor assine o contrato definitivo.

+ Botafogo não se resolve internamente, e negociações com Elkeson ficam travadas
Com uma vitória e um empate no Estadual até aqui, o Alvinegro até tenta achar a melhor forma dentro de campo e entende que cada partida será uma forma de melhorar o entrosamento entre os jogadores. Neste contexto, fevereiro pode ser útil: serão seis jogos.

Nem todas as datas estão confirmadas ainda por indefinições sobre os palcos dos duelos, mas a tendência é que Enderson Moreira tenha apenas uma semana livre para treinamentos no mês – justamente os últimos dias de fevereiro. Inicialmente, o calendário traz compromissos com pouca folga entre os dias.
Os testes também serão visados. O Botafogo vai enfrentar Fluminense, Vasco e Fluminense em uma sequência de dez dias – mais uma vez, se não houver alteração nas datas por mudança nas logísticas. O Alvinegro terá os três clássicos praticamente em uma tacada só.
Mas o mês não vai se basear apenas em futebol. Há a expectativa de que John Textor assine o contrato definitivo e se torne, de fato, o comprador de 90% da SAF do Botafogo. Recentemente, ele assinou o contrato mútuo, permitindo o empréstimo-ponte de R$ 50 milhões. O vínculo definitivo é a “última casa” das negociações.
Contratos são estudados das duas partes e a tendência é por um final feliz. André Chame, porta-voz das negociações entre Botafogo e John Textor, afirmou que a projeção era de que tudo fosse resolvido até o dia 28 de fevereiro.

Rio Ngumoha joins the 10 youngest goalscorers in Premier League history
The Liverpool teenager is the latest to join the list.
ByLewis Thompson Aug 26, 2025
The top 11 players who have scored the most Premier League penalties:
11 Wayne Rooney 23 penalties
Starting the countdown is all-time Manchester United record goalscorer Wayne Rooney, who netted 23 times from the spot. However, the Englishman also missed 11 times from 12 yards – the most in Premier League history.
Interestingly, the striker didn’t score one until his third attempt, which was in the 2009/10 campaign against Arsenal.
10 Thierry Henry 23 penalties
dusan-vlahovic-thierry-henry-arsenal-opinion
Thierry Henry was not only a master goalscorer, but a king from the penalty spot. The Frenchman did miss penalties for Arsenal, but never in the Premier League – scoring each of his 23 attempts (at a significantly higher success rate than Rooney).
One of his most famous was his penalty during the final game at Highbury, as his hat-trick secured a 4-2 win and Champions League football for the Gunners.
9 Matt Le Tissier 25 penalties
Former Southampton star Matt Le Tissier’s penalty record was incredible during his career, with the Englishman scoring 47 of his 48 spot kicks.
25 of those came in the Premier League, with Le Tissier leaving the club in 2002 as their second-highest scorer of all time.
8 Jamie Vardy 27 penalties
Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy also sits on 27 penalties, with the first of those coming during the Foxes’ famous 2015/16 title-winning season.
In fact, Vardy scored five in that memorable campaign and scored his first from 12 yards in more than three years in October 2024. However, he has missed seven top-flight spot-kicks – including his most recent attempt against Wolves in April 2025.
7 Sergio Aguero 27 penalties
Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero is best known for his dramatic title-winner on the final day against QPR in 2012 and being a prolific striker in the Premier League.
He also took plenty of City penalties, and ended on a total of 27 out of 33. The Argentine’s first came against Newcastle back in 2011 and his last was in 2021 against Fulham.
6 Mark Noble 28 penalties
Mark Noble scored 28 Premier League penalties and missed five during his 18-year career with West Ham United.
The midfielder’s first two were winners against Birmingham City and Liverpool in 2007/08 and his last was against Watford in 2021.
5 Steven Gerrard 31 penalties
Steven Gerrard.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard scored 46 penalties for the Reds in all competitions, with 31 coming in the Premier League.
The first came in a 1-0 win over Arsenal at Anfield in 2006, however, Gerrard’s last spot kick in the top flight was missed against QPR in 2015.
4 Harry Kane 33 penalties
Former Tottenham captain Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur and England’s all-time record goalscorer was always going to be on this list. Harry Kane converted 33 times from 12 yards before joining Bayern Munich in 2023.
The striker only missed four for Spurs in the Premier League, although none of his misses were in defeats.
3 Mohamed Salah 34 penalties
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has climbed up this list since scoring his first Premier League penalty for the Reds back in 2018. He now sits fourth after scoring nine times from the spot in the 2024/25 season.
The Egyptian King has been a constant performer in front of goal at Anfield, but he has also missed six times from 12 yards, including his first attempt in the Premier League in 2017.
2 Frank Lampard 43 penalties
Chelsea icon Frank Lampard comes in at second on the list with 43 Premier League penalties, with his first two coming while he was at West Ham.
The box-to-box midfielder made the move to Stamford Bridge in 2001 and two years later, he was first-choice from the spot for the Blues.
Cameron Green flexed in a timely Gabba Ashes warm-up while teammate Cameron Bancroft’s unbeaten century anchored Western Australia in a run-fest one-day cup victory over Queensland.Western Australia won the toss and made the most of the perfect batting conditions in Brisbane on Monday, posting 3 for 361 from their 50 overs.Queensland briefly threatened to chase down what would have been the second-largest total in domestic one-day history until Jimmy Peirson and Joe Burns fell in successive AJ Tye overs.They were eventually bowled out for 291, a 29-run last-wicket stand denying Western Australia a bonus point from their win.Earlier Bancroft (124 not out off 105) was the mainstay for WA while Green’s 55-ball 70 and then Ashton Turner (71 off 41) provided the fireworks.Bowled by the medium pace of Marnus Labuschagne without offering a shot in the recent Sheffield Shield win, incumbent Test allrounder Green ensured there was no repeat ahead of the first Ashes clash at the same ground from December 8.The 22-year-old dispatched one innocuous delivery high into the top tier of the Gabba and then followed it up with two more sixes – there were five in total for Green – over the leg-side boundary.Josh Philippe and Nick Hobson had got Western Australia away brightly, Mark Steketee the only Queensland bowler to go for less than a-run-a-ball.In reply, Usman Khawaja picked out the only man on the leg-side boundary before Labuschagne, Max Bryant and Matt Renshaw all enjoyed bright starts. Their premature exits left too much for the middle and lower to do.Peirson and Burns did their best, combining in a 124-run partnership that suddenly put the heat back on the visitors. But then Peirson’s well-hit cut shot speared to a diving Hilton Cartwright, before Burns holed out to square leg as Western Australia improved their standing on top of the one-day ladder. D’Arcy Short ran through the tail, while Matthew Kelly took two wickets.Jostling for a spot in Australia’s Ashes squad, bowlers Michael Neser (hamstring) and Jhye Richardson (rested) both missed the clash for Queensland and Western Australia respectively.
