Wolves’ André stuns Liverpool with last-gasp winner to pile pain on Arne Slot

Even before Wolves fashioned a 94th‑minute winner, this had been everything but the stress‑free visit Arne Slot would have gladly welcomed. Just as it seemed Mohamed Salah had rescued Liverpool a point at bottom club Wolves, André’s deflected shot beat Alisson to secure for the hosts their second Premier League win in five days, having waited six months for their first, in January. Slot hunched over, winded by defeat, alarmingly a fifth in stoppage time this season. Wolves, meanwhile, are suddenly having something of a ball.

For Rob Edwards, the Wolves head coach, it was that time again. “It’s not great for my heart, but I could get used to it,” he said. Last Friday, he streamed down the touchline and pulled his calf, he said, celebrating Wolves’ second goal to secure victory against their rivals Aston Villa.

Melker Ellborg: 8/10

A couple of nervy moments with his kicking early on but then settled down and looked very comfortable. Wasn’t troubled from set pieces, made some good punches out and made some decent saves, one from a free kick and then a near post effort with his arm late on.

Luke O’Nien (C): 8/10

Had a little trouble early on, but with the help of Angulo, saw out the danger and grew into the game. Often used his strength and reading of the game to see the ball out of the play when Leeds threatened down that side.

Dan Ballard: 9/10

Was so good in the air all night, throwing himself at so many crosses and comfortably coming out on top in the battle with Calvert Lewin.

Omar Alderete: 8/10

Like his centre half partner, he was a wall at the back. Constantly in the way at set pieces and cross. Some dodgy moments when he got himself out position or turned into trouble but still a colossal effort.

Trai Hume: 9/10

Hume was so good defensively tonight, not giving Leeds any room to manoeuvre down his side of the pitch. Quick to close down and put a tackle in.

Lutsharel Geertruida: 6/10

Protected the defence well enough in the middle of the pitch but didn’t have much influence on the game, steady on the ball at least.

Noah Sadiki: 7/10

Got around the pitch as usual but was a little subdued on the ball, plenty of effort though. Got a bit lucky when he gave the ball away cheaply near our own corner flag in the first half.

Habib Diarra: 7/10

Like Sadiki, he struggled to impose himself on the ball but was always closing down at pace when Leeds had possession. Stepped up when it mattered to convert the penalty.

Enzo Le Fee: 7/10

Worked so hard off the ball to help out Hume and the midfielders, .

Nilson Angulo: 8/10

He was positive on the ball all night, looking dangerous whenever he had it, but put in a great effort defensively to help out O’Nien. Constantly tracking back and using his pace to nullify Gudmunsson.

Eliezer Mayenda: 5/10

Barely involved tonight, was offside too often and his only real opportunity was barely a half chance following Ballard’s header from a set piece.


Substitutes

Granit Xhaka: 7/10

Helped us over the line with his clever first time passing and getting into the right position to block a pass.

Wilson Isidor: 6/10

Had a part in winning the penalty when his effort was eventually handled by Ampadu.

Bertrand Traore: N/A

Only had a couple of minutes on the pitch, gave the ball away cheaply but then did great to recover and prevent a counter attack, seemingly injured himself as a result.

Chris Rigg: 6/10

A late change for Traore, helped us see out of the game.


Man of the Match: Dan Ballard

Lots of really good defensive performances tonight and a great clean sheet for Ellborg on his debut, my man of the match was Dan Ballard though who showed how well deserved the new contract was. An absolute brick wall at the back, got the better of Calvert Lewin time and time again and was dominant in the air from start to finish.

A.J. Brown trade rumor from ESPN stinks for Bills, Patriots, 49ers, Raiders

A.J. Brown trade rumor from ESPN stinks for Bills, Patriots, 49ers, Raiders originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

A.J. Brown's future with the Philadelphia Eagles is still a hot topic of discussion, but the latest rumors aren't good news for receiver-needy teams, such as the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, and Las Vegas Raiders.

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, the Eagles are open to trading Brown, but need an offer they can't resist and want to keep the star wideout on the roster for the 2026 season.

Graziano adds that if a team isn't willing to give up at least their first-round pick this year for Brown, it isn't worth calling Philadelphia.

Teams have contacted the Eagles about a potential Brown trade, but word is that Philly's asking price remains too high. This lines up with what I heard about the Eagles' stance: They'd be open to the right offer, but it would have to be a really good one. They don't want to just get rid of Brown or need him off the team for any chemistry reason.

The Eagles will always listen to trade offers, but if they're going to move Brown, it sounds like they'd have to be blown away. If you're not ready to talk about at least your first-round pick, I don't think that conversation is getting very far at the moment.

Though Brown hasn't been an overly dominant playmaker over the last two seasons, he's still one of the best players in football when at his best and a legitimate top receiving option.

Brown's rough 2025 campaign, filled with drops and a few other needless distractions, has placed his future in Philadelphia in question.

However, it sounds like the Eagles would prefer to keep him around rather than trade him, and the Bills, Patriots, 49ers, and Raiders will have to look elsewhere to fix their receiver issues.

Buffalo and Las Vegas lack true No. 1 wide receivers, and that must change, especially with the Bills in a window of contention and the Raiders kickstarting a new era by likely selecting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first pick in April's draft.

New England and San Francisco could also use more talent at receiver, and could've been suitors for Brown.

There's still a chance the Eagles trade Brown, but with the asking price incredibly high and Brown still holding value in Philadelphia's offense, it's hard to imagine a scenario where he isn't catching passes in an Eagles uniform in 2026.

Since the announcement of the group stage opponents (Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland) and the base camp for Brazil—the delegation will train at CT Columbia Park in Morristown and stay at The Ridge hotel in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on the American East Coast—the National Teams Department has been organizing Brazil’s schedule for the World Cup.

In addition to this work, the coach and his technical staff continue to observe the athletes who could represent Brazil at the World Cup. Ancelotti also emphasized the importance of the friendlies against France and Croatia at the end of March.

On the 26th, Brazil faces France at Gillette Stadium in Boston at 5 p.m. (Brasília time). Then, on the 31st, they take on Croatia at Camping World Stadium in Orlando at 9 p.m. (Brasília time).

“We have been working on the logistics, organization, training center, and hotel, so now we have to evaluate the players who are playing, those who are injured, and those who are recovering. It is a moment of observation. Obviously, we have to do well in the friendlies against France and Croatia and watch the matches of the players who could be at the World Cup in June,” he explained.

Leeds analysis: Farke's men fail to show quality in final third

The defeat by Sunderland was frustrating for Leeds in more ways than one.

Firstly there was the result, which could leave them just three points above the drop zone by the end of the week if results elsewhere go against them.

Secondly was their annoyance with the officiating, with the home fans clearly aggrieved at what they felt was Sunderland time-wasting from early on, and a perceived lack of action against that.

But, ultimately, the home side did not do enough in a game that provided a golden opportunity for them to take a huge step towards securing another season of top-flight football.

They had just four of 18 shots on target and did not test Sunderland's debutant keeper Melker Ellborg enough.

Joe Rodon's disallowed effort was a big turning point, and boss Daniel Farke made a raft of attacking changes near the end, but the visiting defence held firm.
