I'm devastated. Arsenal played well and did more than enough to get something from that game. Luck wasn't with us at all and we paid the price for some shocking defending leading up to their winner. Gutted.

Tonight has the potential to be one of the most engrossing evenings of football for many a year. There are eight World Cup play-off semi-finals across Europe which determine who plays who on the 31st March to get to the World Cup. You’ve got 🇮🇪 Republic of Ireland travelling to Prague to take on 🇨🇿 Czech Republic with the dream of a first World Cup appearance in 24 years there to be grabbed. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales hosting 🇧🇦 Bosnia & Herzegovina with Craig Bellamy hoping to improve his fine record of 8 wins in 16 games as national team boss in front of their own fans and keep the dream of making it to a third ever World Cup alive. Northern Ireland travel to Bergamo to face 🇮🇹 Italy with the hosts desperate not to make it three straight World Cups without their participation. It’s a true David v Goliath game for Michael O’Neill and his players. 🇹🇷 Turkey host 🇷🇴 Romania in Istanbul at 5pm. The atmosphere will be incredible because… It’s Turkey playing in Istanbul in an all-or-nothing World Cup play-off match. There’s also 🇩🇰 Denmark v 🇲🇰 North Macedonia, 🇵🇱 Poland v 🇦🇱 Albania, 🇸🇰 Slovakia v 🇽🇰 Kosovo & 🇺🇦 Ukraine v 🇸🇪 Sweden in Spain, with all games other than Turkey’s (5pm) kicking off at 7:45pm.

FULL-TIME: Everton put three goals past Chelsea in sensational performance! 🔥

A lot of people will end up with eggs on their faces. Back in August 2025, Hargreaves said Arsenal could win the league, Joe Cole responded cockily, "No chance." It's why these so-called pundits should be a bit more circumspect when speaking.
