New signing Sandro Tonali scored his first goal for Tottenham in their clash against Chelsea in Sydney (DAVID GRAY)Brazil striker Richarlison scored a 90th-minute winner and club record signing Sandro Tonali got his first goal as 10-man Tottenham beat London rivals Chelsea 2-1 in a feisty pre-season friendly in Sydney on Saturday.Both sides fielded strong line-ups and Spurs struck first on 19 minutes through Tonali's deflected strike before Estevao levelled the scores barely two minutes later.Tottenham defender Kevin Danso was given a straight red card just three minutes after coming off the bench at the break for bringing down Joao Pedro, with Chelsea dominating proceedings in the second half.But in front of 80,363 fans at Stadium Australia, they failed to capitalise and Spurs stunned them with a late winner.The loss means new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso will head to Hong Kong for a clash with Juventus on Wednesday on the back of his first defeat, following a 6-4 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers last week.The Spaniard has overseen a string of high-profile signings since being appointed, headlined by Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, as he bids to rejuvenate the club after their disappointing 10th in the Premier League last season.Spurs, who fared even worse, coming 17th to narrowly miss relegation, have also been on a spending spree with Matheus Fernandes arriving from West Ham and Tonali from Newcastle.They fly home after a 2-0 win over Auckland FC and 1-1 draw with Sydney FC.Most of Chelsea's close-season signings have yet to link up with the squad, including Rogers.But right-back Marco Palestra, who joined from Atalanta, got his first minutes while Cole Palmer and Estevao started after a slew of youngsters were used against Western Sydney Wanderers.Tottenham midfielder Fernandes, who missed the Sydney game with "fatigue in his calf muscle", was again absent, as was James Maddison with a "small problem".But Tonali made his maiden start along with fellow new recruit Andy Robertson.After a cagey start, tempers flared when Conor Gallagher hacked down Chelsea's Dario Essugo in the 10th minute with players pushing and shoving each other.Gallagher was shown a yellow card and Essugo continued.Spurs broke the deadlock after a nice break down the right from Manor Solomon, who fed Tonali on the edge of the box with his shot taking a deflection.But it was a short-lived lead as Estevao headed home at the far post after Romeo Lavia broke free from midfield and they went to the break at 1-1 with Spurs having the better half.Danso's brain-fade allowed Chelsea to dominate the second-half with Estevao rattling the crossbar among a slew of chances.But, in a worry for Alonso, they failed to make the most of the extra man and Spurs stole their thunder when Richarlison side-footed home at the death.mp/dh

Lazio coach Gattuso cools Taylor row and pays tribute to Baresi: A legendLazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso has moved to draw a line under his training-ground clash with Kenneth Taylor, insisting the flashpoint was forgotten within half an hour, while also leading the clubs tributes to the late Franco Baresi.With quotes via Alfredo Pedull, the Lazio coach spoke after a 6-3 friendly win over Avellino and was quick to defuse the fuss around his bust-up with the midfielder earlier in the week.The other day someone enjoyed writing about Taylor, but thats part of the game, Gattuso said. Those who know me know how I think, what my style is. For me it was all over after thirty minutes, and you saw that again this afternoon. We have to have this spirit.ROME, ITALY JULY 20: SS Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso reacts during the friendly match between SS Lazio and SS Lazio U20 at the Formello Sport Centre at Formello Training Center on July 20, 2026 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by Marco Rosi SS Lazio/Getty Images)Gattuso happy with Lazios progress after Avellino friendlyThe Italian was otherwise encouraged by what he is seeing in pre-season, praising his squads appetite for the intense, man-oriented pressing game he wants to impose.The team is starting to do what we want, high pressure, a high line, going man to man, he said.Theres enthusiasm, were working well, and its a pleasure to coach them, though he stressed the level still had to rise over the coming weeks.Gattuso closed with a heartfelt tribute to Baresi, the Milan great who died on Friday.Condolences to the family. When I spoke to him I stood to attention: he was the captain, a man who spoke and smiled little, but those few words he said were never wrong, he said.He was unique, a legend. He left us too soon, but hes gone to keep company with many great champions. Hell remain in the history of world football, hed have deserved a Ballon dOr for his career for the way he changed the libero role.

Report: Liverpool interested in move to sign former Chelsea starLiverpool Eye Fikayo Tomori as Defensive Search IntensifiesLiverpool have started asking the right question, what does it take to sign Fikayo Tomori? According to Tutto Juve, the Reds have made initial contact with AC Milan as they assess whether a deal for the England international is viable before the transfer deadline.That, on its own, makes sense. Liverpool do not need to create drama around the centre-back position because the problem is obvious enough already. Ibrahima Konate has gone to Real Madrid after the expiry of his contract, Joe Gomez is set to miss the start of the season through injury, and Virgil van Dijk cannot be expected to carry the entire structure by himself for months on end. If you are Andoni Iraola, newly installed after Arne Slots dismissal in May, this is one area you address quickly.Photo IMAGOFikayo Tomori Fits Liverpool NeedTomori is not being framed here as a superstar signing, and that is probably why the link feels credible. He is a seasoned defender, still in his prime, with Premier League experience from his Chelsea days and enough top-level football behind him to step into a demanding environment. The source describes him as formidable, and while that may be a touch generous depending on your standards, he remains an athletic, front-foot defender who can cope with space and physical duels.Liverpools current situation means they do not necessarily need a headline name. They need competence, availability and a player who would improve depth without turning the long-term squad plan upside down. Tomori ticks most of those boxes.Photo IMAGOAC Milan Contract Situation Could MatterThe other reason this report carries weight is Tomoris contract status. He is into the final 12 months of his deal at Milan, which changes the conversation. Clubs become practical when the risk of losing a player for nothing comes into view. Milan may prefer to sell now if the fee is acceptable, and Liverpool are clearly trying to establish that number before deciding whether the move is worth pushing further.This is not an advanced negotiation, at least not yet. It is the kind of early-stage market check smart clubs make all the time. Find out the asking price, test the appetite on wages, see how much room there is to negotiate, then decide if the target belongs near the top of the list.Andoni Iraola Needs Certainty at Centre-BackThere is another layer to this. Liverpool have younger defensive options in the wider picture, including Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni, though the latter is recovering from a serious knee injury. Iraola will want those pathways protected, but there is a difference between protecting development and exposing raw players too early. Throwing inexperienced defenders into a team with title expectations is poor planning.Photo IMAGOTomori would offer something more useful than glamour, he would offer certainty. He has six England caps, was in Thomas Tuchels provisional 55-man World Cup pool earlier this year, and remains respected enough to be considered at international level even if he missed the final cut. That tells you where he sits, solid, credible, trusted.For Liverpool, that may be exactly the point. This would not be a vanity purchase. It would be a practical response to a practical problem. Those are often the smarter deals.Our ViewFrom a worried Liverpool supporters perspective, this report feels logical, but it also highlights how exposed the squad has become at centre-back. Konate leaving on a free and ending up at Real Madrid is the sort of squad management failure that keeps coming back to hurt you. Gomez being unavailable at the start of the season only sharpens the concern.Tomori would not excite every fan, and that is fine. Liverpool do not need excitement in this position, they need reliability. Van Dijk needs help, proper help, not another gamble or another youngster asked to grow up in real time. If Iraola wants to stabilise the team quickly, bringing in someone who knows the pace and physicality of English football feels sensible.The worry is whether Liverpool are merely exploring or genuinely prepared to act. Too often clubs do the background work, like the price, then hesitate long enough for another option to disappear. If Milan are open to doing business because of the contract situation, Liverpool should be decisive. There is little value in waiting until the market gets tighter and more expensive.Supporters will also wonder whether Tomori is the first choice or simply the most attainable choice. That matters, but not as much as getting somebody in. Right now, Liverpool cannot afford to be precious. They need a centre-back who can start matches, stay fit and reduce the burden on Van Dijk. Tomori may not be the dream signing, but he looks like the kind of sensible one that wins you points across a long season.Source: Tutto Juve

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider has moved fast to calm concerns about clubhouse chemistry after Kevin Gausmans recent comments sparked discussion. With the club sitting well below expectations, Schneider insisted chemistry is not driving the disappointing MLB season.Speaking on Sportsnet 590, The Fan, Schneider revealed Gausman addressed both the coaching staff and his teammates after the comments gained attention. Kev is the ultimate pro, Schneider said. He was upset with the timing of it and kind of the way it came out.MORE: Blue Jays 2026 season is over & disastrous isnt a strong enough word to describe itGausman recently told the Toronto Star, Were just not nearly as close-knit of a group as we were last year. Every single person here is frustrated, annoyed, mad, but it is what it is. He also stressed, This is the group weve got. I still believe in every single guy in that room, and the staff thats leading them.Schneider said the right-hander wanted to clarify how his remarks were perceived. He just wanted to clear the air a little bit and say, Hey, this is how it was perceived.' The manager added, It just shows how much he cares.Performance, not chemistry, is the real problem for Blue JaysToronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (34) throws a pitch at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect (Reuters)Schneider acknowledged the 2026 Blue Jays differ from last years World Series club. However, he rejected the idea that clubhouse relationships explain the teams 51-59 record. He said, Theres a million different reasons why we havent performed to our expectations. Comparing clubhouse chemistry, I dont think is very high on the list.He also emphasized that every roster develops differently. Every year is different. Every year, every group is different. Schneider noted last years roster shared a rare bond, calling it a special group that connected both on and off the field.Instead of dwelling on comparisons, Schneider believes honest communication keeps problems from growing. Were frustrated, he said. You talk about it amongst each other, and youre brutally honest with each other.That approach reflects good clubhouse leadership. Teams coming off deep postseason runs often face heightened expectations, making every setback appear larger than it is. Torontos pitching regression, injuries, and inconsistent offense have played greater roles than chemistry.MORE: Blue Jays are MLBs most unique team as trade deadline approachesGausmans own season reflects those struggles. The veteran is 4-10 with a 4.51 ERA despite recording 123 strikeouts in 121.2 innings. So, with the trade deadline approaching, Torontos front office faces difficult decisions. Schneiders response suggests the organization remains focused on correcting on-field issues rather than blaming clubhouse culture.
