EPLFrom Jason Wilcox’s role to the views of the rest of the squad, we tackle the major talking points at Old Trafford after the defender’s outburst After Manchester United’s 2-0 loss at Atlético Madrid, Lisandro Martínez teed off at the director of football, Jason Wilcox, and the rest of the executive. “We don’t have the best squad at the moment compared with other top teams,” said the defender. “I expect more [investment], 100%. I expect more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox] … Really poor [the Atlético defeat] – I have to control myself a lot but something is a reflection of the mirror of how our club is at the moment.” Here we consid

EPLLiverpool cleansed themselves from the stains of defeat by Manchester City at the earliest opportunity. A rampant display in Austria saw Bradley Barcola ignite his Liverpool account with the first hat-trick of his professional career and Andoni Iraola’s team devastate Lask’s big night in the Champions League. The major surprise was how the hosts managed to score three. Iraola’s pre-match faith in the big-money signings Barcola and Florian Wirtz was repaid as the pair helped dismantle limited opponents. But it was not all about the money and the £123m signing from Paris Saint-Germain scoring the first goals of his Liverpool career. Lewis Kouma

MLSThe protests around an anti-ICE T-shirt show that politics can never be separated from sports, especially now On 26 September, Daniela Silva was expelled from Austin FC’s match with San Diego FC for wearing a T-shirt reading “Abolish ICE”. She says she was banned from Q2 Stadium for a year (Austin FC said that the ban was issued by the Austin Police Department, not the club, and that they offered to rescind it but that Silva declined). This happened, really, truly, and you cannot make this up, during Austin FC’s Hispanic Heritage Night.

UELBlack Cats can reboot season against Torreense in Europa League in a break from tough start to domestic campaign There is a pleasing symmetry about Sunderland’s Europa League trip to Portugal to face Torreense on Thursday night.

Richarlison has not played for the first team since an opening-day defeat at Brentford on 22 August after he was left out of the 25-man Premier League squad list, having been told he was not part of the plans for this season. Failed moves to Trabzonspor and Vasco da Gama, after talks with Everton collapsed in the final days before the transfer window in England shut, have left Richarlison in limbo for the first half of the cam
