Oct 26, 2025, 06:57 AM ET The Premier League is without doubt one of the most enjoyable competitions on the earth, however this season issues have been taken to a complete new stage. Certainly, in line with Opta information, there have been 32 targets scored after the ninetieth minute to this point this season. From a complete of 229. That is 13.9%! After all, there was one Saturday in September…

Rachel Daly and Sofia Huerta were named to the NWSL Second XI, the league announced today.

This is the first time that Daly has been named to the league team of the year and the third career honor for Huerta, who also earned Second XI accolades in 2015 and 2017. They are the third and fourth players in Dash history to earn year-end recognition, joining midfielder Carli Lloyd (Second XI, 2015) and forward Kealia Ohai (Best XI, 2016).

Congrats ladies!

Birkir Bjarnason scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time as Aston Villa came from behind to beat Wigan Athletic in a five-goal thriller at Villa Park.

Skipper James Chester headed Villa in front on 13 minutes from a free-kick by new signing John McGinn[1] on the left.

Norwegian keeper Orjan Nyland,[2] also making his debut, then made a mess of a back pass from Mile Jedinak to gift Nick Powell a 41st-minute leveller.

Callum Connolly headed the Latics in front on 55 minutes with a far-post header from Powell’s cross.

But, eight minutes later, Chey Dunkley put through his own net in a scramble to make it 2-2.

And, from Conor Hourihane’s cross, Icelandic international Bjarnason slid in to win it for Villa and maintain the 100% winning start for Steve Bruce’s men against one of his former clubs.

More to follow.
