After Mohammed Sofo opened the scoring in just the seventh minute, Forsberg stunned the home crowd in the 30th minute when he dispatched his curled effort from just outside the area, beating Joe Willis at his far post.
You'll struggle to find a better goal scored this season.

Former Norway coach Martin Sjögren named coach of the NWSL's Chicago Stars
The Chicago Stars have named former Norway women's national team coach Martin Sjögren as the National Women's Soccer League club's new head coach. Sjögren will join the Stars starting with the 2026 season after wrapping up the current season as head coach for Hammarby in the Swedish Damallsvenskan, the Stars announced Wednesday. 'For me, this position as head coach of the Chicago Stars is a new challenge in a new country, in a new league,' he said in a video posted to social media Wednesday. 'But to me the NWSL has always been a very interesting league. It's one of the most competitive leagues in the world, if not the most competitive. And there's so many things happening in the U.S. when it comes to women's football, and it's growing really, really fast.' Sjögren coached Norway's women from 2016 through 2022, leading the team to the quarterfinals of the 2019 Women's World Cup. Norway also played in the Women's European Championships in 2017 and 2022 under Sjögren. Sjögren's longtime assistant and friend, Anders Jacobson, has been named interim coach through this year and will join the team in the coming weeks, the team said. Current interim coach Ella Masar will continue as an assistant coach. 'This appointment is the result of a rigorous, data-driven hiring process and deep discussions about our soccer identity, methodology and long-term vision. We were not just looking for top-level coaches but for people with exceptional human values, leaders who align with our ambition to build a high-performance environment rooted in trust, unity, and a true sense of family," Stars general manager Richard Feuz said. The Stars fired coach Lorne Donaldson after winning just one of six games to start the NWSL season. Donaldson, who led the Jamaican national team to the knockout round at the 2023 Women's World Cup, was in his second season with Chicago. The Stars went 10-14-2 in his first season and made the playoffs. ___

'It's clearly a huge loss'
The sale of Torbjorn Heggem is clearly a huge loss to the heart of West Bromwich Albion's defence, however, it is the best example yet of the recruitment model that has been implemented under the club's owners, Bilkul, and led by their sporting director Andrew Nestor. Outside of the club, practically nothing was known about the Norwegian defender when he arrived from Swedish top-flight side IF Brommapojkarna in July 2024. Heggem cost under £600k and, fast forward 13 months, he is a Norway international and is going to be playing in Serie A after sealing a move which is worth in the region of £10m. He was deservedly crowned the Baggies' player of the season after featuring in all but one of their Championship games in the 2024-25 campaign, and provided further proof of his credentials with a solid performance for his national team in a 3-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Italy during the summer - which may have alerted Bologna to his talents, although it is likely he was on their radar already. Read more of Steve Hermon's analysis on Heggem's departure here.

Premier League 2025-26 season predictions: Champion, top four, Golden Boot, relegation, surprises, sack race
We made it, everybody! The Premier League is back and we're buzzing in anticipation of what promises to be a scintillating season of football in England. MORE — Watch Premier League games live on NBC platforms| Will a healthy Erling Haaland return to the top of the scoring charts? Is there a new title winner amongst the 19 times not named Liverpool? Who was the best transfer this summer? And... are there four title contenders?! This could well be a season for the ages, and we've quizzed our staff for their predictions. Here are the thoughts of Joe Prince-Wright, Andy Edwards, and Nick Mendola. The Premier League Golden Boot winner will be... Joe Prince-Wright: Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal — The amount of crosses and clever passes he will get to feast on means 25+ goals for the Swedish import from Sporting Lisbon. Andy Edwards: Erling Haaland, Manchester City Nick Mendola: Erling Haaland, Manchester City — He missed seven games last season and finished the same number of goals behind Mohamed Salah, then scored thrice in 255 minutes at the Club World Cup. The bounce back is coming, and City feel deeper at the playmaker positions around Haaland. Who will be the comeback player of the year? Joe Prince-Wright: Jack Grealish, Everton — Everything is set for him to be a fans favorite at Everton. If he stays fit he will dazzle. Andy Edwards: Phil Foden, Manchester City Nick Mendola: Jack Grealish, Everton — Unsure if his statistical numbers will wow, but the proverbial system shackles are different under David Moyes than they were under Pep Guardiola and Grealish should be rampaging in open space on the counter while Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil help provide space and both Thierno Barry and Beto aim to feast on their spoils. Who will prove the best signing of the season? Joe Prince-Wright: Florian Wirtz, Liverpool — Expensive signing but my word is he worth it. Andy Edwards: Joao Pedro, Chelsea Nick Mendola: Martin Zubimendi — Not ticketing the Spaniard for the next Ballon d'Or or anything, but this feels nearly as significant a signing as Rodri's for Manchester City a few years back. Zubimendi should make Declan Rice even better, too. The Premier League surprise team will be... Joe Prince-Wright: Chelsea — They will contend for the title until the very end. Andy Edwards: I actually think this is the season that Manchester United finally stabilize and drag themselves back to sustainable respectability. Not playing in Europe will give Ruben Amorim extra time to fine-tune his team on the training ground, putting them at a recovery and preparation advantage more often than not this season. Nick Mendola: Sunderland and Manchester United— For Sunderland, It's not just the spend but it's the purchases, as we've seen other promoted sides struggle mightily despite transfers. Granit Xhaka is a huge add, and I sneaky love the Marc Guiu loan from Chelsea. Simon Adingra is also a PL-proven talent, while Enzo Le Fee and Habib Diarra headline a half-dozen or so faces that could lead the Black Cats to safety. Surely, one or two of those bets will hit. As for Man United, I'm listing them second because I don't know what constitutes a surprise for most viewers of the Premier League. They're going to score more, and they're going to look a lot more like a Ruben Amorim team. I worry about what dropping Bruno Fernandes out of the front three will do to the team, but I believe they will be comfortably in a European place at the end of the season and that's a step up. Who will be the Player of the Year? Joe Prince-Wright: Cole Palmer, Chelsea Nick Mendola: Bukayo Saka, Arsenal Who will be the Young Player of the Year? Joe Prince-Wright: Myles Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal Andy Edwards: Carlos Baleba, Brighton & Hove Albion Nick Mendola: Rayan Cherki, Manchester City Which Premier League manager will be sacked first? Joe Prince-Wright: Daniel Farke — Leeds have a tough start and the pressure will build early. Andy Edwards: Graham Potter... but no one will be sacked until November, maybe December. There isn't a clear and obvious hot-seat candidate to start the season (Postecoglou has already gone), unless Man United were to start badly. Nick Mendola: Vitor Pereira — His fiery nature was awesome to watch last season but could burn him as Wolves learn just how critical Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri were to their mission. Who will be relegated from the 2025-26 Premier League? Joe Prince-Wright: Leeds United, Burnley, Sunderland — The promoted trio just have too much work to do to catch up. After losing key players Wolves and Brentford will struggle, but should just stay up. Andy Edwards: Burnley, Sunderland and West Ham... but only because I don't want to just pick the three newly promoted teams every season (even if it is right). Nick Mendola: Leeds United, Burnley, Brentford — There should be a real relegation fight this season involving more than 4-5 teams, as I believe Sunderland have put together a team above the fray. Brentford's scouting system is superb but the losses of Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard, and maybe Yoane Wissa gloss over the bigger loss in club living legend Thomas Frank. Which Championship teams will be promoted to the 2026-27 Premier League? Joe Prince-Wright: Ipswich Town, Southampton, Birmingham City — Such a bonkers league but the relegated trio will all do well. Leicester's financial issues and possible sanctions may hit them hard, so let's go with Birmingham to come up via the playoffs. Andy Edwards: Sheffield United, Ipswich Town, and Birmingham City. Nick Mendola: Southampton, Ipswich Town, Bristol City — The (seemingly) looming punishment for Leicester City makes it complicated to bet on all three relegated teams to bounce right back up to the Premier League. There are a number of teams who could win the playoffs but I like Bristol City's system if they can finish more chances this season. Who will win the 2025-26 Premier League? Joe Prince-Wright: Arsenal — It feels like they finally have the depth, and the goal scorer, to get them over the line. It will be super close between the top four who are a class above the rest. Andy Edwards: Liverpool Nick Mendola: Arsenal — Yes there's still the huge mental hurdle, but Mikel Arteta will have learned quite a bit from his complaint- and red card-heavy wasted season. The Martin Zubimendi signing is massive and Viktor Gyokeres joining Kai Havertz makes the Gunners deep at center forward. I also love the idea of Noni Madueke's presence supplanting Gabriel Martinelli or pushing the Brazilian to more consistent play and even new heights. Now watch as they finish a point back of Man City after Haaland bags 40 goals. Relive every goal scored by Manchester City during their 2024-25 Premier League campaign. Rebecca Lowe and the chaps discuss Chelsea's chances to contend with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City in the Premier League title race this upcoming season.
