Curling screamers into the top corner, gliding past defenders, and playing with a freedom that won the hearts of fans all over the country, he delivered some of the Premier League’s most beautiful goals.

  • Shock Defeat For Real Madrid Hands Top Spot To Barcelona

    Shock Defeat For Real Madrid Hands Top Spot To Barcelona
    Feb 24 2026
    Real Madrid missed the chance to go five points clear as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at Osasuna, their first league loss under Alvaro Arbeloa in six games. We look at an encouraging display from Trent Alexander-Arnold off the bench, Vinicius Jr's continued scoring run, and whether the defending champions can respond after surrendering top spot. Barcelona took full advantage, returning to the top with a convincing 3-0 win over Levante. We discuss Frenkie de Jong's first goal in 13 months and what this means for the title race with just 13 games to go. Atletico Madrid bounced back from their recent poor run with a 4-2 win over Espanyol. Ademola Lookman continued his flying start with four goals in six games. We ask if this can be the springboard for a consistent run from Diego Simeone's side. Join The Players Lounge: The official fantasy football club of The Rest Is Football.

  • Gunners Fire Back, City Keep The Pressure On & Spurs on the Brink?

    Gunners Fire Back, City Keep The Pressure On & Spurs on the Brink?
    Feb 23 2026
    North London is red. Arsenal F.C. stormed the derby, overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in a statement performance that reignites the title charge. The gap stretches back to five points, but with Manchester City F.C. still holding a game in hand, the pressure is far from over. City responded in kind, dispatching Newcastle at the Etihad. If Pep’s side keep stacking wins, will the weight of expectation prove too much for the Gunners? And could it all come down to that blockbuster showdown at the Etihad in April? At the other end of the table, Spurs are dangerously close to the relegation zone after a limp derby display, with a new manager still searching for answers. Could Tottenham genuinely be dragged into a survival battle? And if the unthinkable happened, would it go down as the most shocking relegation in Premier League history?
