Sergio Aguero admitted his dramatic title-clinching goal against QPR a decade ago changed everything for him and Manchester City. This Friday marked the 10th anniversary of the Argentinian's most celebrated strike, when he netted deep into stoppage time to earn City their first Premier League crown. The club have not looked back since with Aguero winning five league titles before moving on last summer and the current side closing in on another. Aguero was back at the Etihad Stadium on Friday as City marked the anniversary by unveiling a statue in honour of the record-breaking striker. The statue, sculpted by American-based Scottish artist Andy Scott, depicts the moment when Aguero ripped off his shirt in celebration after scoring in that famous game. The statue joins similar tributes to Aguero's former team-mates Vincent Kompany and David Silva already in place outside the stadium.
Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco trained on Thursday as they prepared to host Angola's Petro Atletico of Luanda in Casablanca on Friday in the second leg of their African Champions League semi-final. Wydad took a big step towards the final thanks to a 3-1 win in the first leg last weekend.
#Tottenham failed to put a shot on target for the second straight game in drawing with #Brentford 0-0 on Saturday to dent hopes of a top-four finish in the English Premier League. After #Arsenal moved into fourth by beating Manchester United in the lunchtime kickoff, Spurs fluffed their lines with a sub-par performance in west London and again looked devoid of all attacking creativity - like in losing to Brighton 1-0 last weekend. It could have been even worse, with Ivan Toney denied by the woodwork twice as Brentford - whose team included former Tottenham player Christian Eriksen - almost made it four wins in a row.
Wayne Rooney's Derby County were relegated to the third flight of English football on Monday after they lost 1-0 at QPR and relegation rivals Reading drew 4-4 at home to Swansea. "It's, sad, disappointed, frustrating, but ultimately proud. I think what the lads achieved this season on the pitch has been remarkable. The points we've picked up, the effort every week they've put in, the game today, it's been incredible really," said Rooney as he summed up his emotions. It is the first time Rooney has suffered relegation in his playing and managerial career, but the England national team's all-time leading goal scorer is already planning for life in League One.
Derby County, managed by England and Manchester United great Wayne Rooney, were relegated to the third tier of English soccer on Monday to cap a miserable season that also saw the club docked 21 points for breaches of financial rules. A 1-0 loss at Queens Park Rangers left Derby 10 points from safety with three games remaining in the second-tier Championship. Derby have been in administration - a form of bankruptcy protection - since September, with the debt-laden club's sale to a new owner yet to be finalised. The club received two separate points deductions of nine and 12 at the start of the season. Rooney has been Derby’s manager since November 2020. He was previously player-coach at the team from central England.
