Car Collides With Pedestrians Near Liverpool Victory Parade

Our Reporters2 weeks ago2 weeks ago33 mins

A man has been detained after a car collided with pedestrians in Liverpool city centre during Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory parade. Emergency services descended on Water Street after Merseyside Police were contacted just after 6pm on Monday with reports of the incident. The car stopped at the scene and a man was detained. The Prime Minister and the Home Secretary are being kept updated about the events, the PA news agency understands. People were injured in the incident, with images capturing someone being taken away on a stretcher and a man walking with his arm around a police officer for support. Footage showed police cordons in place around the heavily littered road, with a large police presence, ambulances and a fire engine also at the scene. A spokesperson for the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said: “We are currently assessing the situation and working with other members of the emergency services. “Our priority is to ensure people receive the medical help they need as quickly as possible.” Liverpool Riverside MP Kim Johnson, whose seat includes the city centre, said: “I sincerely hope all those involved are safe and get home to their loved ones soon.” While a spokesman for Liverpool City Council confirmed the local authority is liaising with police about the incident. Liverpool FC held an open-top bus parade to celebrate its Premier League triumph, with fans lining the streets along the 10-mile route. Councillor John Hughes estimated in excess of one million people were attending, beating the 750,000 present for the 2019 Champions League parade. Hundreds ignored police advice not to climb on structures – or adhere to the ‘no pyro’ request – as every vantage point, ranging from multi-storey car parks, scaffolding, rooftops, on top of petrol stations, traffic lights and lamp posts, was taken.

Chelsea 3-1 Liverpool: Palmer Stars as Blues Dent Champions’ Momentum

Our Reporters1 month ago1 month ago03 mins

Stamford Bridge, London — May 2, 2025 Chelsea bolstered their Champions League qualification hopes with an impressive 3-1 victory over newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool on Friday evening. The visitors, managed by Arne Slot, were handed a guard of honour by Chelsea before kick-off in recognition of their title triumph last weekend. However, the Reds’ celebratory mood quickly faded as they were outplayed by a Chelsea side with everything still to fight for. Enzo Fernández opened the scoring for the hosts inside the opening five minutes, capitalising on a slip from Curtis Jones and finishing off a swift counterattack led by Pedro Neto. A second came before half-time when a mix-up in Liverpool’s defence led to Jarell Quansah inadvertently turning the ball into his own net. Despite making six changes to his regular starting lineup, Slot’s side briefly threatened a comeback when captain Virgil van Dijk rose highest to head home from a corner in the second half. But any hopes of a Liverpool revival were short-lived. A misplaced pass from Dominik Szoboszlai allowed Moises Caicedo to intercept and drive forward, drawing a foul from Quansah inside the box. Cole Palmer stepped up and calmly converted the penalty, ending a 12-game goal drought and restoring Chelsea’s two-goal cushion. Palmer also struck the post earlier in the game after a dazzling solo run, underlining his importance in Chelsea’s attacking play. The win lifts the Blues closer to a coveted top-four finish, while Liverpool’s rotated side struggled to find rhythm throughout. Chelsea will now look to build on this momentum in their final fixtures, while Liverpool’s focus shifts to finishing the season strong after their title celebrations.

Liverpool Transfer Window Targets – Summer 2025

Our Reporters1 month ago1 month ago04 mins

As Liverpool prepares for the Arne Slot era, the club is actively exploring reinforcements across key areas of the squad. Here’s a breakdown of their current targets: Strikers Liverpool are monitoring several high-profile and emergingforwards: Alexander Isak (Newcastle)A long-term target seen as the perfect fit. The club explored a move last summer but were limited by Newcastle’s PSR concerns. This summer, Newcastle are under no such pressure and value him at well over £100 million. Victor Osimhen (Napoli)Returning from a loan spell at Galatasaray, Osimhen is back on the market with one year left on his contract. Though older than Isak (26), his price is expected to be more accessible this time around. Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)A highly rated 21-year-old Slovenian striker expected to move this summer. Liverpool and Arsenal have been monitoring him closely. Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)Enjoying a resurgence in Germany, Ekitike has re-entered the radar of top European clubs, including Liverpool. Wingers Liverpool are seeking versatile wide forwards, especially those effective on both flanks: Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)Both 25, both capable on either wing and centrally, and both with a solid Premier League goal return. Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)Has impressed this season, but a move could be difficult—especially if Villa qualify for the Champions League. Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)Linked last summer during Newcastle’s PSR crunch, but a move now seems unlikely. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG)A past target who ended up at PSG in January. A move back to the Premier League now seems remote. Left-Backs Liverpool want a long-term successor to Andy Robertson: Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth)The standout left-back in the Premier League this season. Formerly signed by Richard Hughes, now faces competition from Real Madrid and Manchester City. Antonee Robinson (Fulham)Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves)Both have had impressive seasons and fit Liverpool’s attacking full-back profile. Other Positions Centre-BackWith questions around Gomez and Quansah, and a left-footed centre-back needed, Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) is a key target. He’s two-footed, but Liverpool face competition from Real Madrid, Arsenal, Spurs, and others. Right-BackArne Slot admires his former player Lutsharel Geertruida, while Jeremie Frimpong (Leverkusen) has been linked. Liverpool may opt to back Conor Bradley, with Gomez or Quansah providing cover. Central MidfieldStill an open question. Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) was a major target last summer but is now Arsenal-bound. Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace) is a newer name linked as a possible fit.

Blockbuster Man City-Liverpool clash live on Showmax

Our Reporters4 months ago4 months ago03 mins

Manchester City hosts Liverpool on Sunday, in a highly anticipated clash, which kicks off at 5:30 PM, and will be available to stream live on Showmax Premier League mobile. City and Liverpool have been the standard setters in the Premier League for much of the last eight years. While City are ahead in the trophy count, Liverpool have pushed them to the limit in title races, including their 97-point campaign in 2019. The landscape has shifted this season, with Liverpool sitting comfortably at the top of the table. On the other hand, City have already suffered seven league defeats and sit in an unfamiliar fourth place, 17 points adrift. A win for City would disrupt the title race, giving Arsenal and other contenders hope, while a Liverpool victory would reinforce their grip at the summit. City go into this fixture buoyed by a 4-0 win over Newcastle, but reeling from a Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola’s side has lacked their usual dominance this season, struggling with injuries and defensive lapses. Liverpool, meanwhile, was held to a 2-2 draw by Aston Villa during the week. Despite their strong league form, inconsistency in key moments has left them vulnerable. A positive result at the Etihad would strengthen their title charge, while a slip-up could open the door for Arsenal, who have quietly built momentum in recent weeks. Beyond the title race, the weekend offers plenty of intrigue across the league. Arsenal host West Ham, as they look to keep the pressure on Liverpool. The Hammers, who have lost their last two games, face a difficult task against an in-form Gunners side. Chelsea, still struggling for consistency, travel to Aston Villa after a humbling 3-0 defeat to Brighton. Meanwhile, Manchester United face Everton in Saturday’s early kick-off, with both teams looking to climb out of mid-table mediocrity. With the season entering a decisive phase, every point matters.

Liverpool joins race for Osimhen

Our Reporters5 months ago5 months ago02 mins

Premier League league leaders Liverpool are reportedly the latest club linked with a move for Victor Osimhen. Prior to his move to Galatasaray on loan last summer, a number of clubs including Chelsea tried to complete a swoop but ultimately fell short. Before he joined the Super Lig side, Napoli had reduced his release clause to approximately £63million and a rare break clause had been created. From the Premier League clubs, it is likely Arsenal and Chelsea will have been included considering their positions in the top flight and the Blues’ previous interest. With the Reds still asessing their striker options, they could be guaranteed too. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also possibilities along with Manchester City. However, Pep Guardiola’s side already have Erling Haaland and Osimhen would only be keen to join a club where he would be the main man. Outside of England, La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are almost certain to be included in the list. Paris Saint-Germain could also be there considering they would be able to afford Osimhen’s wages following Kylian Mbappe’s summer exit.

Atalanta rejects Liverpool interest in Lookman

Our Reporters6 months ago6 months ago02 mins

Atalanta are unwilling to sell any of their stars in the January transfer window, including Ademola Lookman, who is wanted by Liverpool. Premier League giants Liverpool have eyed Atalanta striker Lookman, but La Dea will not sell any of their stars in the winter transfer window. Tuttosport newspaper claimed that Atalanta have already ‘said no’ to a Liverpool request for the 27-year-old striker. The Nigeria international was named the Best African Player of 2024 and has contributed to impressive results from the Nerazzurri. Lookman has already scored 11 goals and provided five assists in 19 appearances across all competitions this term. Last season, he helped Atalanta win their first European trophy by scoring a hat-trick in the Europa League Final against Bayer Leverkusen. Atalanta have won ten consecutive matches in Serie A and are the current table leader. Lookman was in talks to join PSG last summer but eventually remained in Bergamo, where his contract expires in 2026. Liverpool’s domestic rivals Manchester City have targeted another Atalanta star, Ederson, but La Dea will keep hold of the Brazilian until the end of the season.

Ola Aina makes history with Forests over Liverpool

Our Reporters9 months ago9 months ago02 mins

Nigerian defender Ola Aina starred for 90 minutes in Nottingham Forest win over Liverpool on Saturday. His compatriot Taiwo Awoniyi was on the bench for the entire duration of the tie. Liverpool dropped points for the first time this season after a second-half stunner from Callum Hudson-Odoi earned Forest their first victory at Anfield in 55 years. Arne Slot’s side were yet to concede a league goal this term, before the introduction of Hudson-Odoi from the Forest bench, with Nuno Espirito Santo masterminding the unlikely 1-0 win. The substitute scored the winner in the 72nd minute after Liverpool’s retreating backline offered him the time and space to measure a shot from 20 yards. He obliged, bending a perfectly precise strike beyond Alisson at full stretch into the far corner. Ryan Yates was a workhorse in the Nottingham Forest midfield Liverpool, with lofty ambitions in Slot’s first season in charge, created plenty but lacked any cutting edge as every final pass or attempted finish failed to hit the mark. Their 14 shots at goal – five on target – were a sign of the home side’s obvious dominance, but unlike the opening three weeks of the campaign where they scored seven times, they were unable to convert such superiority into goals.
