News about Arijanet Muric

HENRY CLARK AT THE AMEX: The last time Brighton hosted Ipswich in the top flight back in August 1982. Survivor's smash hit Eye of the Tiger sat number one in the charts. More than four decades on, the hit has retained its spot in the party playlist. And after an afternoon of domination for the hosts, the American rockers' name was a rather apt way to describe the outcome from an Ipswich perspective. A combination of Brighton's wastefulness in front of goal and an inspired performance from Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric kept this clash on the coast locked goalless.

The Kosovo national football team was rocked by controversy on Sunday after three of its player were dismissed from the squad for allegedly breaking team rules. The three players were accused of attending a nightclub during international duty, an infraction that occurred following Kosovo's 3-0 loss to Romania on Friday afternoon.

After a fantastic Championship campaign that saw them achieve automatic promotion for a second successive season - Ipswich Town now find themselves competing in the Premier League for the first time since 2001-02. And they couldn't have been tasked with a more difficult fixture in their return to the English top-flight today - with them hosting perennial title challengers Liverpool. Predictably - Ipswich enter the contest as sizeable outsiders to come away with the win - with Kieran McKenna's side valued at 13/2 to cause what would be a monumental upset at home.

Ipswich Town are pushing to sign two forwards as they look to bolster their attacking options for the new season. The Tractor Boys have agreed a deal with Blackburn Rovers for striker Sammie Szmodics and have made an enquiry over a Chelsea player. They kickstart life back in the top-flight against Liverpool on Saturday.

Aro Muric will never live it down. Add this one to the list of great goalkeeping howlers, to the worst footballing moments of Gary Sprake, Massimo Taibi, Peter Enckelman. No exaggeration: The goal Muric conceded at Turf Moor will still be shown in 50 years' time. It came 11 minutes from the end of a match Burnley needed to win to maintain realistic hopes of Premier League survival. And they were winning it, thanks to a piece of opportunism from Josh Brownhill in the 74th minute. But then came every goalkeeper's worst nightmare. Midfielder Sander Berge, under no pressure, played a pass back to Muric. Somehow, it rolled past the goalkeeper's boot, and travelled on, gently, into the net. Brighton 's supporters, behind the goal, cheered with disbelief. Burnley's fans howled with anguish. Manager Vincent Kompany , serving a one-match touchline ban, could only watch helpless. It was left to Craig Bellamy, his assistant, to try to find some positive words for his goalkeeper.

After his Brentford players' troubling slide, Thomas Frank gave him a call from Churchillian's. With fixtures against Manchester United, Brighton, and Aston Villa following the international break, the Bees are just four points above the drop zone. But after being limited to ten men by Sergio Reguilon's ninth-minute red card, manager Frank was boosted by the team's fighting spirit, the earliest dismissal in the league this season.

Tottenham fans have taken to social media to praise Pedro Porro's spectacular opener against Burnley in Friday night's FA Cup match. With the match apparently scheduled for a replay, the Spanish right back let fly from around 25 yards with a dipping, swerving attempt that soared into the top right corner to give the hosts the lead. It was the only goal of the game, with Burnley keeper Arijanet Muric coming close to a surprise equalizer in added time, as Ange Postecoglou's side ensured they were in the hat for the fourth round.

Kosovo's Euro 2024 qualifier against Romania was postponed after Romanian supporters were heard chanting "Kosovo is Serbia." The offensive gesture, which also included banners being unfurled in the stands of Romanian supporters with the same message, resulted in the Kosovan players leaving the pitch before heading to the changing rooms. Only 19 minutes of the match had been played, with the score level at 0-0 at the time of the suspension. Kosovo and Serbia are at odds due to the fact that Kosovo is mainly ethnic Albanian-populated territory that was previously a Serbian province. In 2008, the country declared independence.

According to sources, Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric received a massive £8,800 (€10,000) tip after a roller coaster in Munich. Muric treated his acquaintances, his coworkers, and his server as he partied the night away, with the server in turn sharing her bumper reward with her coworkers.

QPR were left wondering by a contentious penalty decision, just as in England's humiliating World Cup exit. QPR's new manager, Peter Bankes, was sworn out by Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric 20 seconds into the game, so confusing was the call that denied England captain Harry Kane a penalty in the first half against France. A free-kick who even captain Jack Cork appeared to agree should not have been given led to Burnley's first goal from Johann Gudmundsson, adding to the salt in QPR wounds.

IAN HERBERT AT TURF MOOR: For Vincent Kompany, it was somewhere between brave and foolish to stake his professional image on Burnley this summer. To help settle a £60 million loan that fell on their owners as a result of relegation from the Premier League, the club was releasing all its best players and ending up spending £40 million less than they did in the window. Kompany's win last night, which saw the team win a fourth game, was a testament to his ability to completely rebuild and introduce a dedication to passing, which, with all respect to Sean Dyche, has been missing in these parts. Manuel Benson, a Dutch Chelsea loanee, and Ian Maatsen joined Royal Antwerp for £3.6 million to join Burnley's new Belgian enclave, showing that the new boss's ability to find class on no budget. Route one has departed, and it has been followed by a more direct, often over-elaborate route, with wingers wrangling the flanks and passing sequences, which on this occasion were of the highest order.
