Cam Newton Revenge Tour Campaign Really Ramping Up Now

David Moyes and Declan Rice revelled in repaying West Ham supporters back after a difficult season as the Hammers reached the Europa Conference League last four on Thursday.

A Michail Antonio brace, along with goals for Lucas Paqueta and Rice, sent West Ham through with a 4-1 home victory and a 5-2 aggregate triumph over Gent.

That saw Moyes side reach their second continental semi-final in as many years, having made it to the Europa League last four a season ago.

With West Ham battling relegation in the Premier League, sitting just four points above the bottom three, Moyes hailed the Hammers achievements in balancing European football and domestic challenges.

He told BT Sport: It is a brilliant achievement. To do it two years in a row is special, it real…

Defender Anderson Bamba has put pen to paper on a new deal with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Anderson Bamba has signed a three-year contract extension to keep him at the Bundesliga club until 2018.

The Brazilian joined Eintracht from Borussia Monchengladbach in August 2012 following a loan spell at the Commerzbank-Arena in the previous season.

Anderson has made 16 appearances in all competitions this season for a Frankfurt side that sits ninth in the German top flight.

I am very happy that I am staying for three more years, Anderson told Eintracht s official website.

Ten-man Borussia Dortmund lost for the first time in the league this season on Saturday after going down 2-0 at Borussia Monchengladbach.

Mats Hummels was sent off 10 minutes from time for a professional foul on Havard Nordtveit inside the area to concede a penalty and change the complexion of the game.

Max Kruse put the hosts ahead from the resulting spot-kick before Raffael added a second in the 86th minute to seal Monchengladbach s first Bundesliga win against Dortmund since April 2011.

Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen had earlier denied Dortmund, who struck the crossbar in between goals from Kruse and Raffael, with a string of fine saves as Monchengladbach executed an excellent late smash and grab.

Monchengladbach coach Lucien Favre named just one change fro…

Premier League leaders Manchester City are hot on the trail of FC Porto winger Jesus Corona, .

The 22-year-old only joined the Dragons few weeks ago from Twente, but he has already seen some of Europe s top sides show interest in his services.

Manchester City reportedly had the winger watched in weekend s derby with Benfica, with a view of luring the Mexican to Etihad in the near future.

Corona moved to Europe without even establishing himself as a first team regular at Monterrey, joining Twente in the summer of 2013.

Following the slow start to his career in Dutch Eredivisie, the Mexico international largely impressed in his second season, scoring 9 goals in 27 league outings.

Corona then went on to score a brace on his FC Porto debut, proving h…

Chelsea have signed the largest kit deal in Premier League history, which will net them £900million over the next 15 years.

The Stamford Bridge side confirmed on Thursday that they had agreed the largest commercial deal in the club s history with American sportswear giants Nike, having cancelled an agreement with their German rivals Adidas six years early.

Reports also suggest the deal eclipses the 10-year £750m sum agreed between Manchester United and Adidas in 2014.

The eye-watering figures pale into insignificance, however, when compared to LaLiga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, who annually rake in an estimated €140m from Adidas and €155m from Nike respectively to have their kits made.

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: This is an…

Cesar Azpilicueta has absolved Thiago Silva of blame for his error leading to Salzburg s equaliser in Wednesday s 1-1 draw and remains confident his side will advance in the Champions League.

Chelsea dominated large parts of the Group E contest – Graham Potter s first game as new head coach – and took the lead in the 48th minute through Raheem Sterling s curled finish into the bottom-right corner.

However, Silva failed to intercept a pass out on the left and Junior Adamu broke clear to set up Noah Okafor, who escaped the attention of Azpilicueta in the middle to guide the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Rather than blame individuals for Okafor s fifth goal in his past six Champions League outings, captain Azpilicueta – preferred to new signings Kalidou Kouliba…

(GSM) On Monday, Robinho was welcomed at Santos by 15,000 fans and club icon Pele. The Manchester City forward hopes to secure his place in the Brazilian World Cup squad at his former club but insists he s not planning to return to City after that. My goal is to stay for a long time.

Premier League clubs have posted a combined pre-tax profit for the first time in 15 years, according to a report released on Thursday.

The figures for the 2013-14 season show clubs made a profit of £190million, dwarfing the previous record of £49m set in 1997-98 and in stark contrast to the £2.6billion of pre-tax losses accumulated over the past decade.

The report was compiled by financial experts Deloitte, with Sports Business Group partner Dan Jones explaining: Last se…

Nick Bunyard, now in charge of Southen League Premier Division side Frome Town, is banned until July 2019 following a Football Association ruling announced on Wednesday.

Harry Kane was withdrawn with a knock after netting twice in a 2-0 home win to put Tottenham in command of their Europa League last-16 tie with Dinamo Zagreb.

A first leg of few chances threatened to cause Spurs some problems, although Kane s breakthrough strike after 25 minutes settled the nerves.

Jose Mourinho s side were still kept on their toes approaching the final 20 minutes, but Kane added another and the hosts protected a vital clean sheet ahead of the second leg.

Before then they face Arsenal, though, and the late substitution of Kane, nursing his right knee, caused Mourinho concern.

The one moment of genuine quality in an energetic first half provided the opener as Erik Lamela shrugged off Lovro Majer s challenge on the edge of the Dinamo box b…
