Glasner challenges Palace to win more trophies after FA Cup glory
Oliver Glasner has urged Crystal Palace to "go for every single one" as his FA Cup-winners celebrated their upset Wembley win over Manchester City in front of more than 20,000 fans at Selhurst Park on Monday.
Rain towards the end of the Eagles' open-top bus parade through the streets of south London could not dampen the enthusiasm of Palace fans determined to revel in the club's first major trophy in its 119-year history.

"It's very exciting, and we all will enjoy this journey, playing the Premier League, playing the Carabao (League) Cup, playing the FA Cup and playing the Europa League," Glasner said on stage.
"Four competitions, four titles to win, let's go for every single one," the Palace manager added.
Glasner led Eintracht Frankfurt to Europa League glory in 2022, with the 50-year-old Austrian now credited with transforming Palace's mentality and ambition since arriving in south London in February 2024.
"I couldn't be more pleased to work with a group of players like they are," added Glasner.

"Not just because of their talent, they are great talents, but especially what great characters they are (and) I couldn't be more pleased to manage in a club like Crystal Palace with fans like you.
"We had tough moments in this season, but you were always behind us. You always supported us, and my feeling was we were always one Crystal Palace, and that's why we could win the trophy, that's why we could succeed, so thank you very much for your support, and let's keep going like this."
Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who saved a penalty in a 1-0 Wembley win over City where Eberechi Eze's goal sealed victory, said Monday: "This is for the fans. You deserve this. Enjoy it, and we'll be back next season with more, hopefully."

Man Utd 'look like a different team' following win over Bournemouth
Manchester United have won two out of two games in the Premier League Summer Series. The club won 2-1 against West Ham before delivering a convincing 4-1 win over Bournemouth. United played without Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, which could be an indication that the same United players from last season have started to improve under Ruben Amorim. The manager gave his verdict on United's team, and he's optimistic going into his first full season. What did Amorim say about his squad? When asked about the Bournemouth game, Amorim said, "It was a good game. We played with intensity. We were aggressive and that is something that we need to improve from last season." 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp "We had better possession compared to the last game, so they are listening. Of course, scoring first in the beginning of the games can change the confidence of the team. "We changed some positions and you feel that they know what to do in different positions." United struggled to score in games last season, falling behind in 19 games under Ruben Amorim in the Premier League. Amorim also talked about the defensive side of things, saying, "It was a good test. We controlled quite well the runs of Evanilson and Semenyo one against one. Luke Shaw was also really strong. So it was a good day." On the team as a whole, Amorim said, "It was just a pre-season game but the feeling with the same players, even being a pre-season game, if you look at the same players now playing, it looks like a different team and that is a good sign. "More than the results is the way they are playing. They are playing better also because they are connecting better with each other, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch."

Arsenal's New No14 Responds to Thierry Henry Comparisons
Viktor Gyokeres urges caution amid Premier League expectations and Portuguese league doubts Arsenal's New No14 Responds to Thierry Henry Comparisons Viktor Gyokeres Arsenal's new Swedish striker has addressed the inevitable comparisons to club legend Thierry Henry after being handed the iconic No14 shirt. Too Soon for Comparisons? The 26 year old, signed from Sporting Lisbon admitted it's tough to measure up to player of Henry's status calling it "difficult comparison" due to the many variables between eras & teams. Speaking to The Sun, Gyokeres said: "It depends who you pick. Some players have done better after moving from Portugal to England. It's hard to compare players and how they perform in different league , there're many different factors" History Repeating? Gyokeres's aware of the PL's mixed record with stars arriving from Portugal. Examples like Darwin Nunez (25 goal in 95 game for Liverpool), Islam Slimani (8 in 36 for Leicester) and Fabio Silva (4 in 62 for Wolves) fuel skepticism. However success stories such as Cristiano Ronaldo (103 goal for Man United) & Raul Jimenez (59 goal for Wolves & Fulham) offer hope. "Not Everything's in My Hands" "Playing for better team makes things easier especially as attacking player. We'll see. What people expect or believe , it's out of my hands"..

Eberechi Eze Signing Would Be The Next Part Of Arsenal's Masterplan
Arsenal has been busy this summer. Indeed, the North London club has spent over $200m on the addition of six new players and it appears there could be more business completed before the end of the transfer window. Eberechi Eze is the latest target on the Gunners' radar with talks already under way over a potential $75m move. Having finished second in the Premier League table in each of the last three seasons, Arsenal needs difference makers that can push it into first place. Many supporters argued a new centre forward was required and so Viktor Gyokeres has been signed from Sporting CP after a 2024/25 season which saw the Swede scored 54 times for the Portuguese champions. Mikel Arteta wanted a new top-level midfield anchor and so Martin Zubimendi arrived from Real Sociedad. The Spanish international has been likened to Rodri and Arsenal is counting on him to provide more security and control in the centre of the pitch similar to Manchester City's Ballon d'Or winner. More depth was required in general and so Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Cristhian Mosquera were signed. Madueke in particular could be useful as a depth option behind Bukayo Saka to prevent the England winger from taking on too much of the creative and attacking burden. Eze's signing would be the next part of Arsenal's attacking masterplan to provide Arteta with as many options as possible in the final third. Last season, the Gunners were criticised for being too predictable in some matches. To address this, Arsenal has taken a wide-ranging approach to the summer transfer window. Some fans might have preferred Arsenal to target Alexander Isak, a player the North London club long viewed as the perfect centre forward for its lineup. However, with the Swedish striker seemingly on his way out of Newcastle United to Liverpool, Arsenal has focused on other targets like Gyokeres and Eze. Instead of spending a Premier League-record fee on Isak, Arsenal has added several players to its squad with Eze the sort of number 10 its currently lacks. The Palace attacker can also operate on the left side where the Gunners could afford to upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, both of whom haven't always been the most impactful in the biggest games. The true gauge of Arsenal's summer business will come in the final look of the Premier League table. The Gunners are in a position to win the title for the first time since the days of Arsene Wenger, but to achieve that objective their new additions must hit the ground running. Eze could be among them.
