🎥 Remembering one of Liverpool's most iconic Premier League goals OTD
Liverpool have scored some memorable Premier League goals but some rank higher than others.
Emre Can can lay claim to one of the more iconic in Anfield's modern top-flight history after his solitary strike against Watford on this day in 2017 took the spoils.
The Germany international produced an audacious bicycle kick at Vicarage Road which helped Jürgen Klopp's side along in their bid to secure a top four finish.
His effort went on to win the Premier League's inaugural Goal of the Season.

Can left the Reds just 12 months later but this goal lives long in the memory.

How to watch Norway vs Italy live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Italy will kick off their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign on Friday (2:45 pm ET), trying to qualify for their first World Cup in 12 years, with a trip up north — way north — to take on Norway in Oslo. MORE — 2026 World Cup qualifying hub | Premier League prize money list Norway are already top of Group I with six points after two games, while Italy are yet to play a qualifier due to reaching the quarterfinals of the UEFA Nations League back in March when they bowed out to Germany, 5-4 over two legs. After failing to get out of the group stage in back-to-back World Cups (2010 and 2014, after champions in 2006), the Azzurri have regressed even further by failing to even reach the final tournament in 2018 and 2022. They did, of course, use those qualifying failures to bookend the European Championship trophy at EURO 2020, but Luciano Spalletti's mandate is clear: return Italy to the world's biggest stage. 2026 is an equally unmissable target for Norway as it is Italy, with Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard trying to lead their country to its first World Cup appearance since 1998 and just their fourth all time. Norway won promotion to the top tier of the Nations League back in November, so the Røde, Hvite, Blå (Red, White and Blue) are clearly gaining ground on the rest of the continent and should be expected, at minimum, to finish top-two in the group and reach the playoff round. A massive, almost must-win for Italy in game no. 1, and an incredible opportunity for Norway to continue their dominant start (+7 goal difference) and take charge with a win. How to watch Norway vs Italy live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 2:45 pm ET Friday (June 6) Venue: Ullevaal Stadion — Oslo, Norway How to watch, TV channel: Fox Sports Norway team news, focus OUT: Erik Botheim (broken leg), Stian Gregeren (hip) Italy team news, focus OUT: Manuel Locatelli (ankle), Matteo Gabbia (calf) Norway vs Italy prediction Norway's size and physicality will give Italy lots of problems, especially early on so don't be surprised to see the hosts ahead at halftime before the visitors make a second-half comeback. Norway 2-2 Italy.

Manchester United are leading the race for Aston Villa's World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez
While Manchester United are focusing on improving the team's attack first and foremost, fans will argue that improving the goalkeeping options is equally important. Andre Onana was shambolic last season, committing huge errors in both the Premier League and Europa League, and he has never truly convinced since his move to Old Trafford. Advertisement INEOS have offered the Cameroonian to clubs in the Saudi Pro League, with Neom SC a possible option, but so far, no concrete talks have taken place. The Red Devils are keeping their options open, with Emiliano Martinez emerging as a potential option with the Argentine looking to leave Villa Park in the summer. Emiliano Martinez on United's radar As reported by TyC Sports, the World Cup winner has been approached by Barcelona, but the 20-time English league champions are in pole position and have shown the most concrete interest. The report further revealed that INEOS had spoken with the 32-year-old's camp before the January window as well, back when Ruben Amorim was trying to get rid of Onana. Advertisement In the end, the United No.1 ended up staying at Old Trafford while Emiliano Martinez also stayed with the Birmingham side. 'The end of the season in the European leagues left a striking image: Emiliano Martínez said his farewell in tears during Aston Villa's final match at Villa Park, and his future remains unknown. 'Dibu, with a very high contract as the star player, could bid farewell in this transfer window, especially after it emerged that the club is looking for another goalkeeper. The Argentine still has no offers on the table, but Manchester United is reportedly interested. Strongest interest from United 'His departure won't be easy, especially given the high price they're asking for a key goalkeeper. While no official offer was made public, Barcelona has sounded him out, but the strongest interest is believed to come from the Premier League giant. Advertisement 'Six months ago, the Red Devils contacted the Argentina national team goalkeeper and discussed his possible signing for weeks, but ultimately opted for André Onana.' The former Arsenal shot-stopper is valued at £40 million by Villa, a fee United will struggle to cough up given the need to improve in so many other areas. Maybe if they can secure Onana's exit, a move could be made possible. All eyes on Onana and INEOS. One thing is for sure, Amorim needs a better goalkeeper than his current No.1.

The Transfer Lesson Newcastle United Must Learn From Manchester City
This is arguably the most important transfer window since Newcastle United's first under the majority ownership of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment' Fund. Back then, in January 2022, it was all about building a squad capable of avoiding Premier League relegation. Now, the aim is giving Eddie Howe's team the tools to thrive in not only the domestic games, but the Champions League too. For added context, Newcastle has been unable to sign a major first team upgrade in the last three windows due to Profit and Sustainability Rules restrictions. The squad has quality, but is extremely thin and in no way fit for what is to come. But having obeyed the rules and been through that difficult spell, there is belief the club can spend on a big enough scale this summer. On Thursday, the arrival of highly-rated Spanish teenager Antonio Cordero was confirmed on a free transfer from Malaga. It is expected he will go out on loan in order to be ready for a first team impact in a year or so. But the pressure move quickly is huge; days into the pre-Club World Cup mini window, which closes on June 10 before reopening properly six days later, and certain aspects of the fanbase is getting frustrated at the lack of news. It is understandable given what has gone before, and Howe himself is on record imploring the club to act quickly, but signing the right players for the right price takes time. Few clubs can match Newcastle for its success rate with player arrivals, and that comes from being calm and patient. Crucially, it means not panicking when targets go elsewhere. Talks with Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen and Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo have resulted in both opting for Real Madrid and Manchester United respectively. Matheus Cunha, the Wolves forward, was also of interest, but the Red Devils acted quickly to sign him as well, triggering his £62.5m ($88.4m) release clause. Chelsea won the race for Ipswich striker Liam Delap, and Liverpool is set to complete its second signing from Bayer Leverkusen; after Jeremie Frimpong, playmaker Florian Wirtz will be the coup of the summer. All of the players Newcastle has spoken to have been Premier League based. Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, who was subject of bids up to £65m ($88m) last summer, is still a player the club is considering, as is Brighton forward Joao Pedro. The Brazilian, 23, almost moved to St James' Park three years ago for £30m ($40m), but Alexander Isak arrived instead and he headed to the AMEX Stadium. If Brighton is to sell him, it will want double the fee the original fee. Domestic targets are harder to secure; clubs don't want to sell to direct rivals and the money in the Premier League is so vast that they rarely have to. Mbeumo is fully expected to join Cunha at Old Trafford for a similar fee, with some reports suggesting his wage demands are as high as £250,000 ($340,000) per-week. Newcastle has a soft salary cap in place at St James' Park; top earner is currently captain Bruno Guimaraes on £150,000 ($2o3,000) per-week. The club is open to breaking that structure, but most likely to reward Isak with a new contract. Newcastle has a history of successful deals from other markets in Europe. Isak, Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Sven Botman have all thrived, and only the Swedish striker, whose value has since more than doubled, cost anything like the figures being quoted for more localized players. Those deals are easier to do quietly too; Newcastle is a club which prefers to act away from the headlines, and it would not be a surprise to see it go down this route again. Other leagues offer greater value. There is evidence of that already this summer. Manchester City, who like Chelsea is set to compete in the Club World Cup, has agreed to sign Dutchman Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for £46.5m ($63m). The 26-year-old was voted the best midfielder in Serie A despite his club enduring a season where they sacked two coaches; he is approaching his peak years and this transfer would be the most expensive in his career. Yet for all that recognition and experience, playing regularly in the Champions League, he costs less than any of the players leaving mid-table Premier League clubs. Botman won the French league with Lille, Tonali won Serie A with Milan and Isak lifted the Copa del Rey in Spain with Real Sociedad. That trio cost a combined £150m ($203m). Cunha, Huijsen and Mbeumo, all excellent talents but who played for clubs finishing ninth or below in England, will cost £160m ($217m). This summer is about signing players to help Newcastle compete at the very top. The Premier League has quality players running through it, but clubs are under no pressure to sell cheaply; elsewhere in Europe, that isn't the case. Elite players can be signed for smaller fees; the sooner Newcastle realizes that, the sooner it will see its sizable transfer spend go much further.
