Rodrigo Muniz's stoppage-time equaliser earns Fulham last-gasp draw at Brighton
Substitute Rodrigo Muniz struck a dramatic added-time equaliser as Fulham snatched a 1-1 Premier League draw against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Brazilian forward Muniz pounced six minutes beyond the 90 when the Seagulls failed to deal with a Harry Wilson corner. Advertisement Albion were on course to begin the season with three points after Matt O'Riley converted a 55th-minute penalty following Sander Berge's foul on Georginio Rutter. Fulham had plenty of the ball after falling behind but rode their luck and rarely tested Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen before the late twist. Brighton handed a debut to Belgium left-back Maxim De Cuyper, while the visitors gave only a second top-flight start to England Under-19 midfielder Josh King amid a quiet summer transfer window which has so far brought only back-up keeper Benjamin Lecomte. Seagulls winger Yankuba Minteh, who had an early finish disallowed due to the ball going behind before Carlos Baleba crossed, sparked outrage from Fulham boss Marco Silva by flattening King with a robust challenge. Advertisement There were then penalty appeals from Fulham's bench when lively 18-year-old King went down in Albion's box under pressure from defender Jan Paul van Hecke and keeper Verbruggen. Brighton had plenty of possession and the better of the limited first-half chances. Rutter's low shot was comfortably saved by Bernd Leno before Kaoru Mitoma headed O'Riley's cross on to the roof of the net. The Seagulls led within 10 minutes of the restart. Advertisement Rutter went to ground after tangling with Berge as he burst into the 18-yard area and O'Riley, who scored from the spot in a 4-1 win at Tottenham on the final day of last season, confidently dispatched the ball into the bottom left corner. Fulham left-back Calvin Bassey wanted a penalty at the other end after being barged over by Baleba before a stronger shout – when King appeared to be caught by Yasin Ayari – was also waved away by referee Sam Barrott. Brighton began to drop deeper while seeking to secure breathing space on the break. Minteh blazed over following good play from Mitoma before substitute Diego Gomez almost deceived Fulham keeper Leno with a long-range effort. Advertisement Seagulls winger Brajan Gruda should then have put the result beyond doubt late on. That miss looked academic but, after Verbruggen touched wide a low shot from Emile Smith Rowe, Wilson's right-wing corner flicked off the head of Lewis Dunk before being controlled and finished by Muniz at the far post in front of the delirious travelling fans.

Rodrigo Muniz's late strike rescues point for Fulham at Brighton
A game with little between the sides, rustiness abounding, looked to have been won by a second-half Matt O'Riley penalty after Sander Berge's ill-judged challenge. Fulham were made to wait for the 95th minute for a proper chance. It was volleyed wide by an aghast Kenny Tete but it would not be the last, Rodrigo Muniz smashing in a Harry Wilson corner. When all seemed lost and Brighton looked to have held Fulham at bay, the ball was allowed to travel to the second-half sub, one of those many strikers linked with Newcastle, who chested the ball down and crashed home. For transfer devotees, the other major news was Carlos Baleba starting in Brighton's midfield; the expectation is he stays, give or take a steeple-high offer Tony Bloom cannot refuse. Within an aggressive midfield battle, Baleba's quality was often apparent, sweeping up for his defence one minute, supporting forwards the next. He was certainly missed when subbed off in the second half.

O'Riley's price tag, Roma eye Sancho and Gosens: today's transfer news 🤑
The start of the championship is getting closer and all Serie A teams are pushing in the market to try to strengthen as much as possible. Not in Italy but still want to watch Atalanta-Juventus? Do it on OneFootball! Purchase the match (viewable only outside Italy) for 2.99 euros. Below, as usual, are the most important news for the top teams in our championship. Juventus, the price of O'Riley Despite the full availability shown by the midfielder towards Juventus, Brighton does not seem willing to offer discounts for Matt O'Riley. According to the Quotidiano Sportivo, the English club has set the price at no less than 30 million euros to let the Anglo-Danish player born in 2000 leave. A figure that the Bianconeri could only guarantee through a significant sale. Not in Italy but still want to watch Atalanta-Juventus? Do it on OneFootball! Purchase the match (viewable only outside Italy) for 2.99 euros. For this reason, the negotiation with Nottingham Forest for Douglas Luiz becomes even more relevant. The potential sale of the Brazilian would indeed allow Juventus to have the necessary resources to strike a deal for O'Riley. The club's strategy remains tied to a series of market maneuvers. Milan, Lazetic leaving. The formula Marko Lazetic is close to leaving Milan. As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio on X, the Serbian forward is expected in Scotland today to finalize the transfer to Aberdeen, where he will undergo medical examinations tomorrow. The 2004-born player will leave the Rossoneri on a free transfer, but the club on Via Aldo Rossi will retain a percentage on the player's future resale. Inter, stalemate in the sale of Palacios Inter continues to work on outgoing transfers, but the negotiation for Tomas Palacios' move to Basel has experienced a significant slowdown. The deal, which seemed close to conclusion, has stalled in recent hours. According to the dispute concerns the buyout price: the Nerazzurri are asking for 5-6 million euros, while the Swiss club aims to spend much less. The situation is at a standstill and other clubs are starting to consider stepping in for the former Monza defender. Napoli, Juanlu details Antonio Conte is close to welcoming a new reinforcement for his Napoli. It is Juanlu Sanchez, who is increasingly close to wearing the blue jersey. The negotiation, which has been ongoing for some time, seems to be entering the decisive phase with the Neapolitan club ready to speed things up. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Monday could prove to be a decisive day for the final closure of the operation. Sevilla, which has now decided to sell the player, should receive about 17 million euros from the deal. Roma, waiting for Sancho's response Roma is waiting for Jadon Sancho: the English player has the Giallorossi's proposal on the table and the capital club is waiting to close the deal. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is ready to accept the offer that reaches 23 million euros between loan and purchase obligation. The Red Devils are pushing for the sale to free up the salary and raise funds. The Englishman must decide, and the agents are in contact with Roma. Lazio, Gila talks about Real Madrid Mario Gila, speaking to Radio Marca, commented on the rumors about Real Madrid: 'Being linked is pleasing, Raul at Castilla helped me grow as a man and player'. On his current situation with the Biancocelesti: 'We have quality and Pedro's experience. Without cups, we can prepare better, the goal is Europe and the Champions League would be a dream'. Finally, the derby and future: 'It's the most important match in Italy, winning would give confidence. Sarri has clear ideas, following him will bring great results. The national team call-up remains a unique emotion'. Fiorentina, the latest on Gosens According to Atalanta has made an offer of 12 million euros to bring Robin Gosens back to Bergamo, currently at Fiorentina. However, the Viola club has rejected the proposal, despite the Nerazzurri also relying on the player's connection with the city and some former teammates like De Roon. Fiorentina does not intend to open to the sale, not even in case of a higher bid from Atalanta. Only particularly high offers, perhaps from foreign clubs, could make the management reconsider, provided Gosens is willing to accept. At the moment, Pioli considers the winger an indispensable starter. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Celtic working on eight deals as Brendan Rodgers set to finally get his wish
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers hasn't been shy in demanding the club add more firepower this summer. And the door has been thrown open to Louis Munteanu in the hunt for a striker to rival Adam Idah. Matt O'Riley, Kyogo Furuhashi and Nicolas Kuhn all departing the Scottish champions in the last three windows - with Rodgers insisting adding more goals was his priority before the window closes. READ MORE: Celtic to face Kairat in Champions League playoff as nightmare 7000 mile trip awaits READ MORE: Panicked Rangers pundits uncover Russell Martin truth as Kris Boyd 'worries' spiral after Plzen The first leg of the Champions League qualifier is fast approaching - with the Scottish champions set to face either Kairat or Slovan Bratislava on August 20. And Romania international Munteanu has been thrown into a bizarre situation by Cluj amid claims that a £10.5million bid from Stade Rennes had been accepted - while a Celtic bid had been knocked back. But weeks later he remains at Cluj - after owner Nelutu Varga insists he has now turned down a series of offers for the frontman. He told Pro Sport: I refused four clear offers. I don't want to talk about transfer fees anymore. I know how much he's worth and I'm not in a hurry to give him away. No matter how many offers he has, the right offer will surely come." Celtic may also have to meet a massive salary to bring in the striker - with the Romanian outlet claiming that Munteanu's agent is pushing for a £1.7million-per-year salary. After the departure of Kuhn, a winger is also high up on the shopping list with Go Ahead Eagles forward Jakob Breum on the agenda despite chief Jan Willem van Dop's brutal swipe at the Hoops. Michel-Ange Balikwisha remains an option with Belgian outlet HLN reportinh that while the Hoops retain the most concrete interest in the wide man, they haven't been table to come to an agreement with Antwerp. The Eredivise side are aiming to recoup the £4.7million forked out to sign Balikswisha from league rivals Liege back in 2021 - despite the forward entering the final year of his deal. Adam Obert is also said to be attracting interest from Celtic and in Germany - but a £6million price tag has been placed on the 22-year-old. Brondby's highly-rated winger Clement Bischoff has been touted as a target for Celtic and Sunderland this summer - and has been pitched a move to Celtic Park over the Premier League promise land. Former Rangers defender Richard Foster conceded: "For me, you are going to Celtic, with the opportunity to go and play in the Champions League. 'Or, you are going to Sunderland, where, let's be honest, they are likely going to be cannon fodder for the rest of the league. 'In my mind, there isn't even a question there. Even if Sunderland are offering twice the money, I think the winger should go to Celtic, if that's his choice.' Celtic have been linked with a shock move for West Ham playmaker Andy Irving - with a £3.5million price tag placed on the Scot. However, the Scottish champions face a battle for the midfielder with The Scotsman reporting they are joined by Rangers and interested suitors in Serie A and the Bundesliga in the race for the 22-year-old. Marco Tilio's move to Rapid Vienna is on hold - despite failing to make a competitive appearance so far this season. But sporting director Markus Katzer has refused to give up hope, telling Kurier: "Tilio could give us as much as Dahl, even if he plays differently. He is the perfect fit. It would be a good and fair deal for both." Stephen Welsh is also expected to leave Glasgow's east end following the arrival of Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan from Manchester CIty. The Hoops academy graduate has fallen out of favour under Rodgers and recently spent time on loan with Belgian side Mechelen with reports suggesting Welsh is exploring his options.
