Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has called on Arsenal s players to stick together as they aim to raise the level after a 5-0 loss to Manchester City leaves them still without a point in the Premier League.
Having already suffered league defeats to Brentford and Chelsea to open the 2021-22 season, the Gunners endured a chastening outing in the early kick-off against the reigning champions on Saturday.
City scored twice inside the opening 12 minutes and were three up by the interval, by which time Arsenal were down to 10 men after Granit Xhaka received a straight red card for serious foul play.
The heavy defeat on the road comes ahead of an international break, during which captain Aubameyang believes the squad need to hold honest talks between themselves, having worr…
France s sports minister Patrick Kanner insists the necessary measures will be taken to ensure the safety of supporters at Euro 2016.
A series of co-ordinated terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday left 129 dead, with suicide bombers unsuccessful in attempts to enter the Stade de France during the friendly between France and Germany.
Security concerns also resulted in friendlies between Belgium and Spain, and Germany and Netherlands, scheduled for Tuesday, being cancelled.
The government official was adamant that appropriate action will be taken to ensure that the European Championship is safe for all visiting supporters.
The Euros must be prepared, including on security matters, Kanner said.
We need to reassure the French people and rea…
Wes Brown is delighted to see Scott McTominay proving himself as a regular goalscorer after initially pigeon-holing the in-form Scotland and Manchester United player as a defensive midfielder.

McTominay is enjoying a purple patch for United after starting their last four matches and netting in narrow victories over Wolves, Aston Villa and Liverpool since the start of February.
Brown has watched McTominay’s progress closely since he made his debut almost eight years ago, and the former England and United defender is thrilled to see his current resurgence under…

Kylian Mbappe was desperate to help Paris Saint-Germain as he returned from injury against Bayern Munich, and remains confident of their progress in the Champions League.
Mbappe had been a doubt for Tuesday s last-16 first leg between PSG and Bayern at the Parc des Princes.
However, the World Cup Golden Boot-winning forward was named on the bench and appeared in the second half, introduced shortly after Kingsley Coman had scored the opening goal.
That would prove the decisive strike in a 1-0 Bayern win as Mbappe twice had the ball in the net but was twice denied by offside calls.
Although PSG have now lost three matches in a row in all competitions within a single season for the first time since 2011-12, the late rally that included Mbappe s disallowed go…
Prolific striker Erling Haaland has scored 39 goals in all competitions since signing for City, including five against Leipzig in City s second-leg rout on Tuesday.
But while Salihamidzic acknowledged the quality Haaland and City possess, he has confidence in his team s defence to hold up against such a formidable attacking force.
Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world, Salihamidzic added. He does it very, very well.
But we defended very well against Paris. I believe that we perform best against the best teams.
These are also the highlights of the season for the fans. This is a top pairing. I m looking forward to it.
Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn feels games against the likes of City are a great litmus test for whether the Bavarian side hav…
Leroy Sane says he feels sympathy for Marco Reus, after the Borussia Dortmund star s injury paved the way for him to take a place in Germany s Euro 2016 squad.
Two-cap Schalke attacker Sane made Joachim Low s selection as the World Cup winners look to add a fourth European Championship to their collection, after Reus failed to shake off an adductor injury in time.
Bayer Leverksuen s Julian Brandt and Karim Bellarabi, as well as Sebastian Rudy of Hoffenheim, also missed out of selection with Sane preferred among Low s attacking options after scoring nine goals in 42 games for Schalke last season.
You obviously feel for your team mates who don t make it, Sane told the DFB s official website.
They are all great football players and wonderful colleagues. <…
