Okafor’s Leeds winner adds insult to Tel’s injury for Tottenham as Bogle escapes red

It is almost one year to the day when the Leeds manager, Daniel Farke, produced the tactical overhaul many observers believe saved his job. That day, Farke abandoned his trusted 4-3-3 when Leeds were 2-0 down at Manchester City and although they lost the game, the 3-5-2 he reverted to was the bedrock for the success that followed.To suggest Farke was under similar pressure going into this game would be a stretch, but without a win in five Premier League games it was not unreasonable to suggest the Elland Road natives were getting slightly restless. Defeat going into the international break would have firmly extinguished what had been a positive start, with eight points from the first four. Continue reading...

‘A footballing alien’: Mamadou Sangaré soars to Premier League heights

Brentford’s Mali midfielder stood out when he was six and has shone in the Premier League since £39m transfer“When I first saw him, I thought to myself: ‘Who on earth is this player?’ laughs Youness Bengelloun as he remembers Mamadou Sangaré. With the transfer window in full swing in July 2025, the former Manchester City scout and agent was not expecting to come face to face with a “footballing alien”, but that proved the case during a visit to Rapid Vienna’s training ground. A few weeks later, Sangaré moved to Lens for around €5m. “He was impressive and what struck me was his technique and his work rate,” Bengelloun says.That’s more or less the impression Sangaré has made at every club he’s played for, including Brentford, for whom the Mali midfielder signed, from Lens, for a club-record £39m at the start of August.
