<p>Manchester City’s first match since being found guilty of breaching the English Premier League’s (EPL) financial rules ended in a commanding 3-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday, 11 October.</p>
<p>Despite Reds fans at Anfield in Liverpool, England, calling out the visitors with “cheat” chants and banners, Enzo Maresca’s men were able to maintain their focus on the game at hand.</p>
<p>If anything, Liverpool – and their rowdy supporters by extension – received their comeuppance in the 62nd minute when Ryan Gravenberch was sent off the pitch after receiving a second yellow for a challenge on City’s Jeremy Doku.</p>
<p>Three minutes later, the Citizens began piling on the goals: Erling Haaland blasted the opener, followed by Doku’s stunning second in the 68th minute and Rayan Cherki’s brilliant third in the 78th minute.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that this is a massive victory and self-esteem boost for City, who were found guilty last month on 114 charges of breaching the EPL’s Financial Fair Play rules.</p>
<p>While no sanction has been imposed as of yet, City face the threat of a heavy points deduction or, in the worst case, expulsion from the English top flight.</p>

Man City Win 3-0 Amid Financial Rules Drama


<p>Wayne Rooney has branded former strike partner Carlos Tevez an “absolute disgrace” during daily training sessions at Carrington.</p>



<p>Speaking to fellow footballing icon Dimitar Berbatov during a recent recording of the Stick to United podcast, the 39-year-old Manchester United legend reflected on the formidable attacking unit that won two English Premier League (EPL) titles and the 2008 Champions League under Sir Alex Ferguson. Despite their on-pitch success, Rooney pulled no punches regarding the Argentine forward’s work ethic behind the scenes.</p>



<p>“If you looked at Tevez in training, he was an absolute disgrace. He was the worst trainer I’d ever seen in my life!” Rooney admitted. “But then as a teammate or the manager, we would accept it because he would go on the pitch and put all his energy on the pitch, which was great.”</p>



<p>Rooney also touched on squad building, comparing Ferguson’s era to Arsenal’s recent squad additions following their EPL title win, noting that constant recruitment drives elite standards.</p>



<p>Despite Tevez’s controversial 2009 move to Manchester City, Rooney previously named him as his favourite strike partner, proving that matchday output ultimately outweighed his training-ground antics.</p>

Wayne Rooney Lambasts Former Team-mate


<p>Southampton manager Tonda Eckert can continue leading his side after an independent Football Association panel issued a six-week suspended ban, a £28 000 fine, and a reprimand.</p>



<p>The suspension, running until the end of the 2027–28 season, will only trigger if he repeats the offence.</p>



<p>The sanction follows charges of misconduct after a junior analyst intern was caught secretly filming Middlesbrough’s training ahead of May’s Championship play-off semi-final. Southampton also spied on Oxford United and Ipswich Town.</p>



<p>Consequently, the English Football League (EFL) expelled Saints from the play-off final against Hull City and imposed a four-point penalty for the current campaign.</p>



<p>Eckert, who was unaware his actions breached regulations, accepted full responsibility, sought forgiveness, and expressed deep contrition. Despite facing death threats and initial squad friction, he retained firm board support and has since guided Saints to 13th in the table.</p>



<p>Welcoming the outcome, Southampton owner Dragan Solak stated: “We have already suffered enough, and we appreciate the panel&#8217;s recognition of that.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>While Solak praised the FA process, he heavily criticised the EFL’s conduct, adding: “the way they have subsequently treated us is not something we will forget.”</p>

Tonda Eckert Escapes Immediate Ban Over Spygate Scandal


<p>Lionel Messi has drawn the curtain on his international career with Argentina, completing a remarkable journey containing 208 caps and 125 goals.</p>



<p>Following his country&#8217;s World Cup final defeat by Spain, the national captain made the difficult choice to step aside. Reflecting on his departure, Messi revealed, “It was a decision that hurt – and still hurts deep down – but I understand that the time has come.”</p>



<p>After making his senior debut in 2005 and suffering early heartbreak in four major tournament finals, Messi initially retired in 2016. However, he returned to spearhead an extraordinary era under manager Lionel Scaloni, securing the 2021 and 2024 Copa America trophies alongside the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Messi leaves as his nation&#8217;s leading goalscorer and most-capped international player.</p>



<p>Beyond the national set-up, Messi continues playing for Inter Miami, where his contract runs to the end of the 2028 season. Off the pitch, he is expanding an impressive business portfolio estimated at $1.1bn by Forbes. His footballing legacy remains firmly established as he prepares for life away from international duty, stating, “I’ve given everything I had; I have nothing left to give.”</p>
