But a cryptic Instagram post by the 29-year-old left many to speculate he could be on his way out of east London before the transfer deadline in six days. Arnautovic…

Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has recalled watching Ryan Giggs’ FA Cup wonder goal and thinking ‘f***’ minutes before he scored. After the first-leg of the semi-final had ended goalless, a wonder strike from David Beckham gave Manchester United the lead, but the Gunners were level after the break through Dennis Bergkamp, who would later miss a penalty. In stoppage time, a wayward pass across midfield from Patrick Vieira was intercepted by Giggs and after dribbling past five Arsenal defenders he fired past David Seaman to send United into the final. Recalling that match 20 years on, the World Cup winning Frenchman hailed Giggs as a genius. “As he went through,…

Chelsea star Eden Hazard said he ‘does not care’ about manager Maurizio Sarri’s criticism after he helped the club to a spot in the Carabao Cup final. The Belgian ace scored a vital goal as the Blues overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit to come back and beat Tottenham on penalties at Stamford Bridge.
