News about Vincent Kompany

BURNLEY 1-4 NEWCASTLE - RICHARD TANNER AT TURF MOOR: Vincent Kompany spoke defiantly about taking Burnley's Premier League survival mission to the last day of the season. The result of Nottingham Forest's appeal against their four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's spending rules is due on Monday and if successful they could get two points back. That would mean the Clarets - already five points adrift of 17th-placed Forest with two games to play - are doomed before their trip to Tottenham on Saturday.

RICHARD TANNER AT TURF MOOR: Alexander Isak became the first Newcastle player since Alan Shearer in 2003-04 to score 20 Premier League goals in a season as Eddie Howe's team stepped up their bid for another season of European football - while pushing Burnley closer to the drop. Isak's landmark goal - Newcastle's fourth in an impressive victory - came moments after he had a tame penalty saved by Ari Muric. But the Swede quickly amends with a cool close range finish to add to first half goals from Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes as the Geordies chalked up their fifth win in seven games to leapfrog Manchester United into sixth place.

Ruthless Newcastle pushed Burnley closer to the Premier League trapdoor with a 4-1 rout at Turf Moor that boosts their Europa League hopes. It was a crushing afternoon for Burnley as Nottingham Forest's 3-1 win at Sheffield United left them five points from safety with only two left to play - a trip to Tottenham next week before Forest visit on the final day. And it was the same old story. Vincent Kompany's men began brightly and created a string of chances in the first 15 minutes but Callum Wilson scored from Newcastle's first real attack 19 minutes in before goals from Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes put the game beyond doubt before half time.

Scott McTominay has provided an update on his condition after being substituted in Man United's draw with Burnley. United found themselves in a protracted stalemate with Vincent Kompany's struggling side at Old Trafford, with the game goalless at the hour mark. McTominay has made a habit of having a significant impact off the bench this season and was brought on to replace Kobbie Mainoo as the hosts looked to break the deadlock.

Erik ten Hag believes his team must look in the mirror at themselves after another mistake saw them drop points in their 1-1 draw with Burnley . United had to wait until the 79th minute to open the scoring, when Antony put the home side in the lead, which looked like putting Ten Hag's side on the road to three points. However, three minutes from time Andre Onana mistimed his jump for the ball and clattered Zeki Amdouni to give away a penalty. Amdouni dusted himself off to take the spot kick and ensure Vincent Kompany 's men earned a share of the spoils at Old Trafford. After the match, Ten Hag was asked if United's recent mistakes were down to bad luck or mentality, admitting it was a combination of both, and that his team need to take responsibility.

After a less than convincing FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry that saw them give up a three-goal lead in the second half - Manchester United followed it up with a another frantic 4-2 win against Premier League cellar dwellers Sheffield United at home on Wednesday. Despite their wildly inconsistent performances, the Red Devils are overwhelming 1/2 favourites to win again today when they take on Burnley at Old Trafford.  Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany's side are 19/4 outsiders to secure their sixth win of the season, and a draw is priced at 19/5. 

Can Burnley somehow pull off the greatest of escapes? They were written off as doomed earlier in the season but in this form, survival is not out of the question.  Certainly that was the way Johann Berg Gudmundsson was talking after Vincent Kompany's resurgent side destroyed Sheffield United. Iceland midfielder Gudmundsson, who scored the Clarets' fourth at Bramall Lane, said: 'We believe we can do something special. We have four cup finals left but in the dressing room we're all in this together.

ROSS HEPPENSTALL AT BRAMALL LANE: The crass incompetence when performing rudimentary tasks, the home stands emptying long before the final whistle; the rising anger and ultimately sense of resignation and hopelessness. This was another sad but familiar view of Sheffield United's sorry campaign as they suffered the indignity of Burnley - their closest rivals - completing an embarrassingly emphatic league double over them. After a 5-0 hammering at Turf Moor in December which cost Chris Wilder's predecessor Paul Heckingbottom his job, the doomed Blades were humiliated once again.

The total passed the milestone after Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was hit with a £10,000 fine for losing his temper at referee Darren England in March. It marks the second season in a row in which poor behaviour in the country's top four divisions has resulted in fines totalling over the seven-figure mark. The Premier League is responsible for the bulk of that figure. Indeed, the fines meted out to players and staff, when added together, amounts to over £850,000. £665,000 of the overall top-flight total was for player misconduct while £193,500 was shelled out after the FA took action against managers and coaches. The biggest single fine was dished out to Aston Villa when they were charged £180,000 for their player fracas following their victory against Brentford.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has been fined £10,000 and handed a two-match touchline ban.  The Belgian manager has been penalised for 'misconduct at the Premier League clash against Chelsea on March 30', according to an official statement issued by the Football Association.  Kompany will have one enforced game banned from the touchline, while the second will be suspended for the rest of the year until December 31, 2024. 

Former NFL star JJ Watt has opened up on why he decided to invest in Premier League club Burnley last year. Watt, 35, who played for 12 seasons in the NFL before retiring in 2023, became a minority investor alongside his wife Kealia - an ex-professional footballer - last May, as the club secured promotion to the Premier League. Appearing on the Stick to Football podcast alongside Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott, Watt - who has previously admitted he is a Chelsea fan - explained what attracted him to Burnley. 

Sean Dyche confessed to planning Everton's victory over Burnley to be 'ugly' in order to ensure his team gained three points. The Toffees were just one point over the relegation zone and without a Premier League victory since they met Vincent Kompany's side in December. At Goodison Park, a cagey opening 45 minutes seemed to have ended goalless, before Dominic Calvert-Lewin's reliance on a critical decision by Clarets goalkeeper Arijanet Muric to give the hosts the lead.

Everton's record without a victory was'staggering,' according to Mail Sport's Dominic King, who said a number of players in the playing squad were untrustworthy in the locker room. Everton is winless on a string of 13 games, their most recent, a well-earned late 1-1 draw against Newcastle at St James' Park, and they will face relegation rivals Burnley. The Toffees have had a whirlwind season, with them debuting early in the season before being given their first 10-point penalty for breaching Premier League revenue and sustainability laws.

Following his team's 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association. The temper erupted after referee Darren England awarded a penalty to the Blues in the 40th minute for Lorenz Assignon's foul on Mykhailo Mudryk. The Burnley defender was also on his second yellow card, causing the Clarets to play the second half with ten men. After being banned from protesting on the touchline, Kompany expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that no one had been consistent enough throughout the season.

In Burnley's 1-1 draw with Wolves on Tuesday night, boss Vincent Kompany could not contain his indignation after a critical refereeing decision went against his team. After being barred during Chelsea's draw on Saturday for demonstrating against Lorenz Assignon's first-half red card, Kompany branded the standard of officiating in the Premier League as "not strong enough." He was left furious at the free-kick that culminated in Rayan Ait-Nouri's equalizer at Turf Moor, which had to cancel out Jacob Bruun Larsen's opener.

BURRENLEY 1-1 WOLVES - IAN WHITTELL AT TURF MOOR: IAN WHITTELL - OUR TURF MOOR: Vincent Kompany's aspirations of leading Burnley on an unexpected late-season revival bid were undidden by Wolves' in-form goalscorer Rayan Ait-Nouri at Turf Moor last night. Algeria's national scored his third goal in four games for Gary O'Neil's side as they bounced back from falling behind to a goal by Kompany's struggling Clarets in the first round. This always seemed to be a pivotal week in the Premier League relegation war, with Burnley's score filtered through from Newcastle during the first half.

The standard of refereeing in the Premier League, according to Burnley boss Vincent Kompany, hasn't been high enough this season. During Saturday's 2-2 draw against Chelsea for his protests against a penalty decision that culminated in the dismissal of defender Lorenz Assignon, the newest in a string of events that Kompany feels have connected to the relegation-fighting Clarets. After Saturday's match to apologize for his word choice at the time, Kompany's apologized for his choice of words, he consulted referee Darren England, and he's also had a few discussions with referee chief Howard Webb, but he was certain that the standards had been lowered this term.

After Chelsea's draw against Burnley on Saturday, Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf slammed the board for "destroying" the club and published a damning article about current Blues players. Despite playing the majority of the match with 10-men after Lorenz Assignon was sent off in the 40th minute, Vincent Kompany's team scored twice in the second half to cancel Cole Palmer's brace. Boos echoed around Chelsea's 40,000-seater stadium at full throttle, as they had done on several occasions this season, and Leboeuf fired back at the club's hierarchy chaired by Todd Boehly in the aftermath.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea Mauricio Pochettino accused Chelsea of lacking the head and heart to win this Premier League match, blowing two leads against the 10 men of Burnley at Stamford Bridge. The visitors, who later saw their boss Vincent Kompany get red carded for demonstrating in the first half, came from behind to resentment in their efforts to avoid relegation. Pochettino was left ill, as supporters who predicted that their team would rise to the top of the table were booed at full throttle.

Chelsea was held 2-2 by Burnley at Stamford Bridge, a result that would enrage both teams and leave them unable to claim all three points. Cole Palmer thrashed the chaos, scoring twice, including a cool Panenka finish, giving the Blues a one-goal lead at the break after Burnley's Lorenz Assignon brought down Mykhailo Mudryk in the box. Following the incident, Assignon was sent back for his second yellow card, and Clarets boss Vincent Kompany was seen marching orders during the ensuing VAR check.

KIERAN GILL, a STAMFORD BIDGE: After seeing Vincent Kompany branded them out of office for protesting, Chelsea led twice against a Burnley team with only 10 guys and no manager on the sidelines. And yet, the capacity for chaos and capitulation demonstrated itself at Stamford Bridge once more. Mauricio Pochettino said this week that the statistics show that his team should preside in the Premier League's top four positions. Not when you look as lost as this. For the fifth straight game at your own ground, not when you concede at least two goals. Not when you give up leads so quickly. Chelsea's supporters booed at full throttle, knowing that this was a chance to advance to the top of the table. Any hints that this club has a chance of winning a European place via the Premier League is quickly fading.

JACK GAUGHAN: Since receiving a surprise call-up, James Trafford has been able to recover from the blow of losing his Burnley home. Until Vincent Kompany dropped him for Muric ahead of the recent victory over Brentford, the 21-year-old had started every Premier League game, conceding 62 goals. After Sam Johnstone's withdrawal, Gareth Southgate has still selected Trafford ahead of England's friendly against Belgium. Lee Carsley, the Under-21 manager, said that the goalkeeper had the energy to deal with the setback at club level.

In Sky Bet's betting lines, there has been a lot of speculation about who will be the next Premier League manager fired. Burnley's Vincent Kompany was the favorite at 7/4 last week, but after the Clarets beat Brentford 2-1, he has widened to a 5/2 second-favourite. There is a current favorite in the market for there to be 'no manager to leave,' which is currently priced at 64%.

The Premier League's second fiddle to the enthralling drama in the FA Cup, but that didn't deter a fair amount of events. Luton and Nottingham Forest shared the spoils in their relegation six-pointer at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, while Burnley ekeduton won by a slim match against a struggling Brentford side. However, Ange Postecoglou's men put in a dismal show and were defeated by Fulham 3-0, the biggest shock of the weekend.
