Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson passed away at the age of 76 after battling cancer. Eriksson, the first non-British manager of the England team, led the Three Lions to the quarter-finals at three major tournaments during his five-year tenure from 2001 to 2006.

Controversy and chaos reigned during Newcastle’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Sunday. The match was marked by a series of contentious moments, including a WWE-style takedown by Newcastle star Joelinton and a disallowed injury-time winner for Bournemouth due to a handball. Former referee Mark Halsey expressed his disbelief at the decision to rule out Dango Ouattara’s goal, stating that the ball had come off Ouattara’s shoulder rather than his arm. Halsey questioned why VAR intervened in this case, as it did not seem to be a clear and obvious error. He also pointed out that Howard Webb had previously stated that VARs would not get involved unnecessarily.
