Odysseas Vlachodimos, the goalkeeper for Nottingham Forest, has gained considerable recognition for his last two international appearances. Over the past two weeks, the stopper has been in action for Greece against the Republic of Ireland and Holland. On the day of the transfer window, the 29-year-old left Benfica to sign with the Reds.

Provedel got up for a late corner and flicked a beautiful header into the net from Luis Alberto’s cross with just seconds remaining. Lazio players erupted in wild celebrations, racing to hug their improbable goalscoring hero. Atletico had taken the lead in the first half thanks to a deflected shot from Pablo Barrios.

Mathieu Lacour, director of Stade de Reims, believes his former player would have been better suited to joining Newcastle than the Ligue 1 champions, citing Champions League qualification and Alexander Isak’s success on Tyneside as examples.

According to the outlet, Montiel felt some pain shortly after Argentina’s first goal and ‘quickly’ signaled to the bench that he needed…
Ross Stewart’s future was discussed extensively during the last summer transfer window following an amazing goal return for Sunderland despite the Scot’s injury-plagued 2022/23 campaign. This didn’t stop Southampton from pursuing him on Transfer Deadline Day, as the striker made the long journey from the Stadium of Light to St Mary’s for an estimated £10 million cost. Sunderland reached the play-off semi-finals in last season’s Championship, and ordinarily a player who has only appeared in 13 league games would have had one of the more minor influences on the Black Cats’ eventual sixth-place finish. Stewart, on the other hand, managed…
