Aaron Mooy’s dream start to life in the Championship with Huddersfield Town continued overnight with his rocketing 25-yard strike the difference against Leeds. The 1-0 victory at Elland Road ensured Town’s lead at the top of the Championship for at least another week – now four points clear of second placed Newcastle. It’s been a remarkable start to the season for the club who’ve consistently been battling at the wrong end of the table since their promotion from League One in 2012. And while

If you thought the failure of the IOC to implement a blanket ban on Russian athletes, or the reportedly appalling conditions of the athletes’ village were bad news, spare a thought for Jason Lee. The 27-year-old New Zealander and jiu-jitsu athlete was allegedly forced into a car by armed police and driven to an ATM before having to withdraw and hand over $800 this weekend. Lee, who won’t be competing in the games because jiu-jitsu isn’t an Olympic event, has been living in Rio for ten months i

Liverpool left-back Brad Smith looks set to join fellow Premier League side AFC Bournemouth in a reported £6 million ($10.5 million) deal. The Australian international will no doubt be seeking more regular game time, despite making ten appearances for the Reds last season, including four in the Premier League. Smith will be the second Liverpool player to move to the South Coast club, with young winger Jordan Ibe already having made the switch to Bournemouth earlier in the window for a reported

Chile remain champions of America after a 4-2 penalty shootout win over Argentina in New Jersey. The match will hardly go down as a classic in terms of football itself, but the bitterness between the two rivals was absolutely thrilling throughout the game – culminating in an intense shootout after the scores were locked 0-0 after extra time. Penalties seem a cruel way to decide any match, but will seem especially cruel for Argentina after a second major tournament loss on penalties in a row.

A first half goal from Carlos Bacca was enough for Colombia to clinch third place in the Copa America Centenario after a scrappy, but entertaining game against the United States. The victory ensured Colombia their best finish in 15 years since victory in the 2001 tournament, while the United States equaled their previous record of fourth place. A red card for each team in stoppage time characterised what was a largely niggly affair, with both teams determined to finish the tournament on a high

A two-goal blitz inside the first ten minutes has ensured Chile’s passage through to the Copa America final despite a lengthy weather delay. Chicago’s Soldier Field was inundated with rain during the half-time break which led to a two and a half hour delay before play could resume. Chile will meet Argentina in Monday’s final, guaranteeing that the tournament’s two best teams face off again for a second time in two years. Juan Antonio Pizzi’s men flew out of the blocks with their typical high

A lacklustre display from the United States has ensured Argentina a place in a third successive major tournament final in three years after a 4-0 win in Houston. The home team offered next to no resistance in the Copa America semi-final, or any challenge to Argentina’s goal as two strikes from Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuaín, and one each from Ezequiel Lavezzi and Lionel Messi sealed an easy win. Lavezzi’s third-minute goal set the tone of the match, finishing off Messi’s sublimely weighted chi
