PSG 1-0 Monaco, French Super Cup: Stoppage-Time Ousmane Dembele Goal Wins Record 13th Trophy
Ousmane Dembele scored in stoppage time to give Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 victory over Monaco in the French Super Cup on Sunday. (More Football News) The goal ensured that the Ligue 1 champions lifted the Super Cup trophy for the third successive season. Monaco were up against PSG in the match having finished second in the league after their opposition had won a league and cup double during the 2023-24 season. The match itself was held in Stadium 974 in Doha and both sides had their chances in Qatar, though PSG looked the more threatening without being unable to break the deadlock. But Dembele's late intervention ensured that the game did not go to penalties as he secured the victory with a finish inside the far post after Fabian Ruiz had supplied a neat pass across the face of goal. Desire Doue had nearly made the breakthrough in the ninth minute,hitting the bar, while Lee Kang-In was foiled by a Philipp Kohn save after he had a shot from distance at the end of the first half. Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Takumi Minamino also forced the returning Gianluigi Donnarumma into action, but were unable to make the decisive breakthrough. Next up for Ligue 1 leaders PSG is a home game against St Etienne on Sunday, while Monaco travel to Nantes on Friday.
Liverpool 2-2 Man United, PL: Diallo Equaliser Stuns Leaders As Amorim's Men Fightback At Anfield
Amad Diallo scored the equaliser as Manchester United fought back in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders Liverpool at Anfield, with Ruben Amorim's under-fire side halting their three-game losing run. (Schedule & Results | Points Table) Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Brighton on Saturday gave Liverpool a chance to go eight points clear at the summit, but Arne Slot's hosts started slowly in freezing conditions and fell behind to Lisandro Martinez's second-half strike. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who endured a miserable outing overall, saw a loose ball picked off by the Argentine, who exchanged passes with Bruno Fernandes before powering home. Cody Gakpo netted a brilliant equaliser just before the hour mark, then a Matthijs de Ligt handball allowed Mohamed Salah to put Liverpool ahead from the penalty spot in the 70th minute.
Fulham 2-2 Ipswich Town, Premier League: Jimenez Scores Two Penalties In Dramatic Draw
Three penalties were scored as Fulham and Ipswich Town played out a dramatic 2-2 Premier League draw, with Raul Jimenez netting twice from the spot to earn the hosts a point at Craven Cottage. (More Football News) Ipswich initially went ahead when Sammie Szmodics pounced on a poor Calvin Bassey clearance late in the first half, but the rest of the game was decided from the spot. Jimenez slotted home the first spot-kick in the 69th minute after Sam Morsy trod on Harry Wilson's foot, but Ipswich were back in front just two minutes later. Liam Delap was fouled by Timothy Castagne on the left side of the Fulham area, and Ipswich's leading scorer picked himself up to blast home his eighth league goal of the season. That put Ipswich on course for their first set of back-to-back Premier League wins this term, but Leif Davis' tired challenge on Jimenez allowed him to net his second penalty in the 91st minute. The result denied Ipswich the opportunity to escape the relegation zone, and the Tractor Boys remain behind 17th-placed Wolves on goal difference. Fulham, meanwhile, stay ninth in the table, two points adrift of Aston Villa in eighth.
