Manchester City claimed a partial victory over the Premier League on Monday after an arbitration panel ruled on sponsorship deals, known as Associated Party Transactions (APT), that the Abu Dhabi-owned club was blocked from completing. The Premier League put its own spin on what some commentators saw as a landmark verdict, saying the panel's redacted 175-page document endorsed the overall objectives and decision-making of the APT system. The panel found parts of the league's APT rules broke British competition law, however, and were also unlawful because clubs were unable to comment on types of data the league would take into account.

Arsenal will deploy a potent weapon who never sets foot on the pitch when they bid to exploit Paris Saint Germain's set-piece vulnerability in Tuesday's Champions League showdown. Mikel Arteta's side have emerged as Europe's preeminent force at corners and free-kicks thanks to their set-piece guru Nicolas Jover.

Tottenham piled more pressure on Erik ten Hag's position as Manchester United manager with a dominant 3-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday. Spurs made a flying start when Brennan Johnson tapped in from Micky Van de Ven's storming run after three minutes.

Chelsea knew it was getting a talented player by signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City last year. But maybe not this good. Palmer created some history on Saturday when he became the first player to score four goals in the first half of an English Premier League match. His flurry of strikes came in Chelsea's 4-2 win over Brighton that further strengthened the belief that the London team will be a force this season after spending more than $1 billion on players over the past two years.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta bristled at suggestions his team used «dark arts» in the feisty English Premier League match at Manchester City, saying he preferred to look at «facts» rather than opinions. Arteta said there were «a few players» who will be unavailable for the League Cup third-round match against Bolton on Wednesday, one of whom could have a serious injury. He didn't disclose any names. This development came after Arsenal players were accused of play-acting and feigning injuries by some of their Man City counterparts during the 2-2 draw on Sunday at Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal's Premier League title ambitions face the ultimate test on Sunday when a relentless Erling Haaland aims to fire Manchester City five points clear of the Gunners at the top of the table.

For the past two seasons Arsenal have finished second to Pep Guardiola's winning machine.

Matthew McConaughey, who starred in Mud and Magic Mike, are shocked by his recent public appearances and say his appearance has changed. The fans took to social media to criticize the 54-year-old actor, saying he appeared different when he and his 41-year-old wife Camila Alves attended a gala dinner last week. Some people conjectured that his eyes have changed color and that his nose is a different shape. Some have even gone so far as to claim that it is a double and does not resemble him. However, a plastic surgeon claims that the actor, who was born in Texas, is just thin because of weight loss. A TikTok video from the gala dinner was shared by social media user @Scuba_duba_, who claimed that he appeared different. Commentators pointed to his eyes, implying that they had been blue before and were now brown. Commenters on another TikTok video by @1mothastucka noted that he appeared to have lost weight or taken the Ozempic slimming jab. Others said that his nose looked different. On the social media platform X, it was mentioned on social media by @MerrittKelly1, who said that he looked very thin and rather angry. As if he lost a lot of weight for a role in a movie. Aesthetic doctors, however, have a more sensible explanation for his altered appearance than the actor being a double.

Barcelona’s trophyless campaign last season was when it was spanked not once, but twice, by the formerly modest Girona. Girona dealt Barcelona a pair of stinging 4-2 defeats as the club partly owned by Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi ownership emerged as one of the surprise packages of European football. It finished the Spanish league in third place, just behind Barcelona in second, and classified for the Champions League for the first time. Those embarrassing losses to a fellow Catalan club played a part in the downfall of Xavi Her nández as Barcelona's coach.

English Premier League clubs again flexed their financial muscles by spending about $2.6 billion in the summer transfer window that closed Friday for Europe’s five big domestic leagues.

The Saudi club agreed to pay Brentford a transfer fee reported to be $52 million.
