James Maddison inspired Tottenham Hotspur to a sensational 4-0 victory over Manchester City, ending the hosts’ incredible 52-match unbeaten streak at the Etihad Stadium. This marks City’s first five-game losing run since 2006 and their heaviest home defeat since 2003.

Maddison delivered a stellar performance, scoring twice to put City on the back foot. Pedro Porro added a third with a clinical finish, while Brennan Johnson sealed the emphatic win with a last-minute goal, capping an unforgettable night for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Despite missing key players and coming off a disappointing loss to Ipswich, Tottenham defied expectations with a disciplined and clinical display. Postecoglou’s team, featuring a youthful bench, rose to the occasion and moved up to sixth in the league, just four points behind City.

The result leaves City in second place, vulnerable to an eight-point gap if league leaders Liverpool win at Southampton on Sunday. The loss will heighten pressure on Guardiola, who recently signed a two-year extension, as City looks to regroup after this alarming dip in form.

Andy Murray, Britain’s three-time Grand Slam champion, is set to coach Novak Djokovic at the 2025 Australian Open, marking a surprising and historic collaboration between two former rivals.

Murray, who retired in August after a stellar 19-year career, expressed excitement about his new role. “I’m looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change,” he said. This will be Murray’s debut as a coach since retiring from professional tennis.

The partnership begins during the off-season as they prepare for the Australian Open, scheduled for January 12–26, 2025. Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam winner and 10-time Australian Open champion, has famously defeated Murray in four Melbourne finals.

The announcement was accompanied by a playful video posted by Djokovic on X (formerly Twitter), captioned: “He never liked retirement anyway.” The video featured highlights of their legendary matches, underscoring the depth of their rivalry.

Reflecting on their journey, Djokovic said: “We played each other since we were boys—25 years of rivalry and pushing each other to our limits. I thought our story was over, but it turns out there’s one more chapter. It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner.”

Arsenal ended a four-match winless streak in the Premier League with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, reigniting their title challenge.

The Gunners, struggling with injuries and a congested fixture list, began the day nine points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. However, Mikel Arteta’s men delivered a commanding performance, showcasing resilience and attacking flair to secure three crucial points.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a stunning strike, combining brilliantly with Martin Odegaard before slicing through Forest’s defense and unleashing a powerful shot into the top corner.

Substitute Thomas Partey doubled Arsenal’s lead shortly after the break, curling a precise 20-yard effort past the Forest goalkeeper. The evening was capped off by 16-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who scored a late third to seal the victory.

Despite entering the game level on points with Arsenal (19), Forest struggled to threaten. Limited to half-chances, including headers from Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez, they failed to register a single shot on target.

A potential early breakthrough for Arsenal was denied when Jurrien Timber’s close-range finish was ruled out due to an offside in the buildup by Mikel Merino.
