WATCH: Arsenal target hits hat-trick Arsene Wenger’s side saw their title hopes all but disappear with defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend although they recovered to beat Hull City 2-0 on Saturday.

The psychological thriller was written Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley, who also serves as showrunner, and no doubt fans of the acclaimed drama will be excited to see him reunite with Kidman a second time. Susanne Bier directed all six episodes. HBO just released a trailer for The Undoing which sees Kidman star opposite Hugh Grant as a wealthy and privileged couple who find themselves embroiled in an unsettling mystery as their world unravels around them....

After focusing on a series of seemingly disconnected side stories over the previous two weeks, episode 20 brings viewers back to one of the show’s central plotlines in which Princess, Eugene, Ezekiel and Yumiko are surrounded by a group of stormtrooper-like strangers. We’ve already uncovered what the introduction of those unique uniforms meant with regard to the comics, but now fans are finally able to catch a glimpse of how they might contribute to the TV series....

[HTML1] [This article contains SPOILERS for The Walking Dead up to season 2, episode 3.] - The release schedule for Telltale Games’ fantasy noir story The Wolf Among Us recently overtook the second season of the studio’s breakout hit The Walking Dead, but fans of the series were promised that Clementine would be back before the end of July. Over two months have passed since the release of the third episode, ‘In Harm’s Way,’ so now is probably a good time to revisit that episode’s cliffhanger....

Throughout the AMA, Hissrich engaged with sometimes pointed criticism, frequently elaborating on areas where she feels The Witcher Season 2 can be even better. “What happens between seasons is that we look at all of the episodes and discuss internally what worked and what didn’t—when we thought we needed exposition, for instance, but turns out that it came across clunky,” Hissrich said. “And then we course-correct. We’re all professionals. There’s no heartbreak....

A late sublime effort from Marcos Rojo broke the hearts of a resilient Super Eagles as La Albiceleste progressed through to the last 16 of the World Cup at their expense. Lionel Messi had broken the deadlock for the South Americans in the first half but Victor Moses revived the Super Eagles’ chances of qualification to the knockout stages after converting from the spot in the 51st minute. But with less than three minutes of regulation time, the defender sliced a volley past Francis Uzoho to stun the West Africans and Okocha, who represented the country at the 1994, 1998 and 2002 editions of the quadrennial tourney blamed them for not converting their chances....

The 2021 UEFA Champions League winners signed Lukaku in the summer from Inter Milan for a club-record fee of £97.5 million. He started off well with goals against Arsenal and Aston Villa but has struggled since to link up with his teammates. While speaking to CBS Sports, Carragher claimed it would be ‘alarm bells’ for Lukaku if he is left out of the League Cup final against Liverpool. He added that if Tuchel goes with Kai Havertz up front, it will signal the end for the Belgian at the club....

Johnston noted that as WWE has not inducted him already, the chances of going into the Hall of Famer are quite slim. Johnston called the topic of a Hall of Fame induction a ‘pesky’ thing and believed it was not something to be petty about. WWE fired Jim Johnston in 2017 after a 32-year tenure at the company, and he admitted that getting the Hall of Fame call would be uncomfortable....

Rashford is on an indifferent run of form and has failed to find the back of the net in his last five games. His body language has also looked off and many of his tricks are not coming off on the field. The attacker did not feature against Leeds United last Sunday and was used as a substitute in the game before that against Brighton. Rashford was, however, included in the starting lineup against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, but he failed to shine....

The 30-year-old made his first appearance for the club in October 2004 and has since gone on to become one of the greatest players of all time. Leo Messi hat-trick v Sevilla - 16/5 Messi is the club’s all-time leading scorer with 523 across all competitions – his first coming against Albacete in May 2005. As he looks set to reach 600 appearances on Saturday, he will undoubtedly have one eye on Xavi’s club record of 767....

Kylian Mbappe has long been linked with a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid. Los Blancos reportedly (via ESPN) offered as much as €200 million for the French superstar last summer but did not even receive a reply from PSG. However, with the 23-year-old’s contract expiring at the end of the current campaign, many believe he will finally join Los Blancos as a free agent. In March, Spanish tabloid Marca claimed that Mbappe would sign his contract with Madrid before the month ran out....

The Champions League has lived up to its reputation once again this term, with European powerhouses bringing out their best in recent weeks. Florent Malouda has named four clubs he considers favorites to win the tournament this time, and the Parisians are unsurprisingly one of them.

Lionel Messi had an underwhelming first season as a Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player. The Argentine skipper only managed to score 11 goals across all competitions last time around and wasn’t deemed good enough to get a spot on the shortlist. Emmanuel Bojan of French Football gave his justification for why Cristiano Ronaldo managed to make it onto the 30-man shortlist for the 2022 Ballon d’Or. Despite Manchester United only securing a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League, Ronaldo’s goals were vital for the Red Devils in the league and Champions League....

Similar to the debut season of the series, based on the Gerard Way comics of the same name, The Umbrella Academy’s second season is bursting with action, blood and gore—seriously, the first five minutes of the show is mildly reminiscent of the Hiroshima bombing.
