The has been delivering thrilling matches, unpredictable events and downright iconic moments ever since its inception and that’s not even mentioning the drama on and often off the pitch.
There have been underdogs coming to snatch the title, fiery battles between players and the ref, and many, many great goals. Here are some of the most iconic moments from Premier League History.
Cantona tries Kung Fu
On January 25, 1995, Eric Cantona made headlines for all the wrong reasons. During a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, Cantona was sent off and on his way to the tunnel, he launched a kung fu-style kick at a fan who had provoked him. Little did Cantona know that this move would shortly become one of the most infamous (and iconic) moments in the…
Frank Klopas has no intentions of ever giving up on Chicago Fire s MLS playoff hopes ahead of their road trip to struggling San Jose Earthquakes.
The Fire fought back from two goals down to snatch a 4-3 thriller against Philadelphia Union last time out, climbing up to 13th in the Eastern Conference.
That win was the second time the Fire triumphed despite trailing by two goals in the last 10 minutes this season (also against CF Montreal in March), as they became the first team to achieve this multiple times in MLS history.
Chicago head coach Klopas lauded his side s battling but urged the Fire to improve and group together when they head to PayPal Park.
It s great when it goes your way, but I m not sure if we can keep doing this, Klopas said. We had some …
Julian Nagelsmann is confident his side can beat the pressure of being the host nation as they prepare to kick off the tournament against Scotland on Friday.
The 36-year-old is taking charge of his first major tournament with Germany after taking over from Hansi Flick in September and has lost just one of his eight games since taking over.
Germany have struggled in recent major tournaments, getting knocked out of Euro 2020 in the round of 16 before crashing out of the 2022 World Cup in the group stages.
However, Die Mannschaft are aiming to end that run, chasing a fourth European title and their first since 1996, with Nagelsmann confident his team can channel their nervous energy into positive performances.
I think we re a bit nervous, but it s an import…
Tom Carroll is determined to take his chance to impress for Tottenham after signing a new contract with the club on Friday.
Carroll has committed his future at White Hart Lane until 2019 with the midfielder joining Eric Dier, Christian Eriksen and Harry Winks in penning fresh terms in September.
The 24-year-old, who featured regularly for England s Under-21 side, has made 54 appearances for Tottenham since making his debut in 2011 and he wants to add to that tally.
Time flies! he said. It’s gone really quickly.
I ve seen a lot of players come and go and I m delighted to sign an extension and see what this season brings.
We ve had a lot of home-grown talent come through the system in the last few years and now there are younger lads coming up …
Vincent Kompany lauded the influence of Thomas Muller after the Bayern Munich forward capped his record-breaking outing with a goal against Freiburg.
Muller made his 710th appearance across all competitions for Bayern, coming off the bench to overtake the record for the most outings for the club, set by goalkeeper Sepp Maier, who retired in 1979.
The Germany veteran marked the milestone in style, scoring to seal a 2-0 victory for Bayern after Harry Kane was also on target with a penalty on Sunday.
Muller made his Bayern debut back in 2008 when Kompany appeared in his final club appearance in Germany, before the Belgian boss left Hamburg to join Manchester City.
Their careers have now met once again, with Kompany moving to the touchline, and the Bayern hea…
Phallon Tullis-Joyce is excited by the job Emma Hayes has already done with the United States and predicts she will have even more success in the role.
Hayes left Chelsea after 12 years in charge in May, going out on a high after leading the Blues to a fifth consecutive Women s Super League triumph on the final day of last season.
It was her seventh title overall with Chelsea, also winning five FA Cups and two League Cups, as well as leading the team to the Champions League final in 2020-21.
Hayes began her tenure as the USA boss in May and helped the team to a record-extending fifth Olympic gold in Paris, as an undefeated tournament ended with a 1-0 win over Brazil in August.
Having made such a bright start to life with the USWNT, Tullis-Joyce, who has n…
The knockout phase was ushered in by Edinson Cavani and Uruguay in Sochi as Cristiano Ronaldo exited the World Cup along with Lionel Messi.
Cavani was at the double, upstaging five-time Ballon d Or winner Ronaldo, to see Uruguay to a 2-1 win at Fisht Stadium and a spot in the quarter-finals.
While there was plenty of action on the field, the atmosphere failed to live up to that produced by fans of Peru, who left this particular Omnisport reporter stunned just days earlier along the Black Sea.
After Germany and Sweden rolled through town, it was a sea of red, reminiscent of a fixture in Lima, as Peru drowned out their Australia counterparts with deafening noise throughout the 90 minutes.
The Aussies struggled to match Peru and angered officials by weari…
Mikel Arteta has committed his future to Arsenal by penning a new long-term contract with the club.
Arteta took charge of the Gunners in December 2019 following Unai Emery s exit and has led them to successive second-placed Premier League finishes in the last two seasons.
The Spaniard, who made 150 appearances for Arsenal as a player between 2011 and 2016, also oversaw an FA Cup final victory over Chelsea in 2020 and has lifted the Community Shield on two occasions as the Gunners head coach.
Arteta had entered the final 12 months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium, but reports earlier this week claimed he had agreed a new deal to run until 2027.
Arsenal confirmed he had put pen to paper on Thursday, with co-chairman Josh Kroenke telling the club s we…
England reached their first European Championship final as an extra-time goal from Harry Kane sealed a 2-1 win over Denmark at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday.
The Three Lions had lost their only previous two semi-finals in the competition – against Yugoslavia in 1968 and Germany in 1996 – but Kane stroked home after his initial penalty had been saved by Kasper Schmeichel in the 104th minute to ensure they will face Italy in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
Mikkel Damsgaard had put Denmark ahead on the half-hour mark with a superb free-kick before Gareth Southgate’s side pulled level before the break when Simon Kjaer bundled into his own net under pressure from Raheem Sterling.
England were unable to find a winner inside 90 minutes, but Kane secured a m…
Arturo Vidal s trophy-laden run has continued at Barcelona after the Chile international collected an eighth straight league winners medal.
Ernesto Valverde s team sealed LaLiga glory by beating Levante 1-0 at Camp Nou, with Vidal a four-time Serie A winner with Juventus and a three-time Bundesliga champion at Bayern Munich having appeared in 30 of Barca s 35 games in his first campaign in Spain.
Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini won the league for an eighth successive occasion with Juve this season, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the only other man to have clinched eight successive titles across multiple major European leagues.
Ibrahimovic s run from the 2003-04 season until 2010-11 featured triumphs with Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona and AC Milan…
