News about Alexis Mac Allister

New dad Curtis Jones reaped the benefits of sleeping in the spare room by leading Liverpool to their most important win under Arne Slot. Jones, who became a father for the first time a week ago, deputised for the poorly Alexis Mac Allister and dominated Chelsea in both boxes to keep Liverpool top with a 2-1 victory at Anfield. Besides earning a penalty and scoring the winner, the 23-year-old stopped the influence of Blues star Cole Palmer, including making a goal-saving block.

Arne Slot has questioned the kick-off time for Liverpool 's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace just one day after insisting he would be a 'stupid manager' if he viewed such matches as being more difficult. The Reds inched past the Eagles in Saturday's 12.30pm game courtesy of Diogo Jota who nipped ahead of Trevoh Chalobah to tap home Cody Gakpo 's low cross. Liverpool then comfortably saw out the rest of the match for a victory which leaves them top and secures nine triumphs in Slot's ten games in charge - meaning the Dutchman has the best start of any manager's first ten games in the club's history. But it was not all plain sailing, with star men Alexis Mac Allister and Alisson Becker both trudging off the Selhurst Park turf with concerning injuries.

Mohamed Salah set a new Champions League record as he scored an excellent goal in Liverpool's 2-0 win at home to Bologna. After Alexis Mac Allister had opened the scoring in the first half, Salah made it 2-0 in fine fashion as he found the net in the 75th minute. Salah has set plenty of records throughout his time at Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL 2-0 BOLOGNA - IAN LADYMAN AT ANFIELD: Liverpool were a little chaotic here at times. It was a harder night than many had anticipated against the 13th best team in Italy. But with Liverpool there is always the beauty that lies within. Here it came from the gilded left foot of Mo Salah. What a shot with fifteen minutes left. What a relief. What a goal. Liverpool, who have looked largely assured on the watch of their new manager Arne Slot so far this season, started hot at Anfield. They almost scored in the second minute and then they did, through Alexis Mac Allister, nine minutes later. The pass came from Salah and was typical of his work. The 32-year-old remains an eager scorer of goals but also plays with his head up these days. There has been a marked change in that regard.

LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: Arne Slot became the first Liverpool manager in history to win as many as eight of his first nine games - but the Dutchman says his team must improve if they are to kick on and achieve their goals this season. The Reds dispatched Italian side Bologna with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah in either half to make it two wins from two on their Champions League return. But although it has been a near-perfect start for Slot, he thinks there are still higher levels to reach. 'You will never reach perfection, you are always aiming for it but will never reach it,' he said.

LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: Liverpool maintained their winning start to their Champions League campaign after securing a 2-0 victory over Bologna on Wednesday night, thank to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah.  After a fantastic start to the season for Arne Slot, one star in particular was at their silky best once again on Wednesday night. Meanwhile another Red will plague their opposite number's nightmares following the game.

Former Liverpool strker Peter Crouch revealed Reds goalkeeper Alisson had to tell the crowd at Anfield to 'calm down' as a nervy atmosphere set in. Liverpool went ahead in the 11th minute thanks to Alexis Mac Allister as he timed his run to perfection and slotted home a cross from Mohamed Salah. However, Arne Slot's side slowly lost their grip on the contest as Bologna had more success going forward.

LEWIS STEELE: It might be a fortnightly occurrence in 2024 but the scene is a stunned Old Trafford last month. Luis Diaz had just scored two goals in seven minutes to put Liverpool firmly in control of Arne Slot 's first trip to bitter rivals Manchester United , leaving home fans speechless again. Up in the away corner, those who made the short jaunt to Manchester from Merseyside were beginning a journey through the full repertoire of chants from the Kop songbook. No anthem was belted out with more ferocity than their ode to Diaz. 'His name is Lucho, he came from Porto,' it goes, to the tune of Bella Ciao, the folk song dedicated to the partisans of the Italian resistance. 'He came to score, came to score… came to score, score, score. He's Luis Diaz, he's from Barrancas… and he plays for Liverpool.'

The laws of probability have shaped Tony Bloom's life. From the moment he left Manchester University with a degree in mathematics, an analytical knowledge of numbers and algorithms has seen him amass a personal fortune of around £1.3billion. Regarded as one of the most innovative British entrepreneurs of his generation, Bloom has come a long way from the youngster who used to spend his pocket money playing the slot machines at Brighton Pier. After spells working with an accountancy firm and in the City of London as a trader once he left university, Bloom branched out and moved into sports betting.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has decided to ditch his trademark beard and Reds fans aren't happy about it. Alisson's thick facial hair is one of the first things most fans would mention if they were asked to describe the Brazilian stopper. He briefly made the decision to sport a clean shaven look on the eve of the last World Cup but it did not last long.

The first international break of the season is well underway, with Argentina getting the better of Chile in their World Cup qualifier in their first match of the two-week break. Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez were both on the score sheet for the World Champions, with Paulo Dybala netting a third deep into stoppage time. Following the game, the Argentina players paraded a replica Copa America trophy on the field, with the Aston Villa goalkeeper one of the last players to hold it in front of the fans.

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez might not have chosen the best picture to post after arriving for international duty with Argentina.  Martinez had a day to forget as United were swept aside by fierce rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. The Reds ran out 3-0 winners thanks to a brace from Luis Diaz and a strike from Mo Salah and the margin could have been more.

LEWIS STEELE: Liverpool's top summer transfer target Martin Zubimendi has rejected a proposal to join the Merseyside club and will remain at boyhood team Real Sociedad. Spain's European Championship winner was identified as a top priority for Arne Slot's this window and Liverpool believed they could tempt him away from La Real. He had previously rejected the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Liverpool believed they had an agreement in place and Merseyside sources say Zubimendi has gone back on his word.

SIMON JONES: We are used to Rodri making Premier League midfields play to his tune on the football pitch but the Manchester City and Spain star has been showing his proficiency to do the same from the DJ booth this summer. The 28-year-old has been celebrating Spain's European Championships win on the back of another Premier League title with City in recent weeks and took to the decks to entertain guests at the latest Bresh party in Amnesia nightclub in Ibiza. Bresh parties have become the latest trend for high profile footballers and Latin music stars across the globe since they hosted the Argentina team's World Cup winning event in 2022 with Spanish singer Rosalia.

This is the dramatic moment a police officer rescued an abandoned horse from a tank in Argentina. The equine, which is about 15 years old, was found lying inside the 9-foot-deep pit and covered in a pool of fecal waste and mud after cops responded to a 911 call in the central city of Rosario on Saturday. Video footage released by the police showed officer Carlos Pereyra being lowered into the well.  

Liverpool fans have been left fawning over a training clip from their pre-season tour of the US. The Reds headed across the pond earlier this week as they continue preparations ahead of Arne Slot's first season in charge. Liverpool will face Real Betis in Pittsburgh on Friday, before taking on Arsenal in Philadelphia and Man United in South Carolina next week.

The Argentina midfielder has received heavy backlash for celebrations on a bus after his side beat Colombia 1-0 in the final of the competition to win their third major international trophy in a row on Sunday night. Fernandez released a statement on social media on Tuesday stating he 'stands against discrimination in all forms' and that he apologises for ' getting caught up in the euphoria of our Copa America celebrations ' after a video of members of the Argentina team on a bus went viral.

Fernandez released a statement on social media on Tuesday stating he 'stands against discrimination in all forms' and that he apologises for 'getting caught up in the euphoria of our Copa America celebrations' after a video of members of the Argentina team on a bus went viral. The statement came after a video appeared to show the Argentina players singing about how French players are 'from Angola' or have a 'Nigerian' mother and a 'Cameroonian' father.

Enzo Fernandez 's Argentina team-mate Alexis Mac Allister and the player's father Raul have weighed in on the video capturing members of the Albiceleste singing a racist and transphobic song. Fernandez has received widespread condemnation for participating in the chant, including from his west London team-mates such as Wesley Fofana - who described it as 'uninhibited racism'.

Argentina's Copa America win has been marred with controversy after Enzo Fernandez posted a video appearing to show several players singing or chanting along with a song that has alleged racist lyrics.  Chelsea have since confirmed that they will be conducting an internal investigation into the matter, publishing a statement on Wednesday morning condemning 'all forms' of discriminatory behaviour.  While a number of the Albiceleste squad were present on the team bus following the victory in Florida, it is still unclear which players were taking part in the chanting beyond Fernandez. 

The England star is far from the only one of Southgate's Three Lions to have made the list, which was designed to take in not just players' accuracy, but their composure under pressure, as well as the importance of the penalties that are put away.

Fans have made their views heard on social media after Lionel Messi missed a penalty for Argentina in their shootout win over Ecuador on Friday. The defending Copa America champions took an early lead at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas as Lisandro Martinez netted his fourth goal of the tournament to fire them into the lead. Despite managing to get in front Argentina frequently found themselves forced onto the back foot throughout the game .

Alexis Mac Allister has completed the purchase of a luxury Cheshire mansion as he prepares for his second season as a Liverpool player. The 25-year-old joined Liverpool from Brighton last season and went on to enjoy a fruitful first campaign at Anfield, winning his first silverware since moving to England as the Reds triumphed in the EFL Cup. The five-bedroom property had initially been listed for £4.3million in August 2023, with the price subsequently dropped twice before the deal was completed at £3.9m last month.

It took longer than Argentina may have hoped, but advancement came for them nonetheless in a tight affair against Ecuador.  The tense match featured Argentina opening the scoring when Lisandro Martinez nodded home a headed pass from Alexis Mac Allister in the first half. But on the doorstep of full time, Kevin Rodriguez equalized for La Tri to force a penalty shootout.
