Loris Karius has ended his Liverpool nightmare by joining Besiktas on loan.

The goalkeeper made two dreadful errors in Liverpool s Champions League final loss to Real Madrid in May.

The Reds subsequently splashed out €75million on Brazil international Alisson from Roma  a world-record transfer fee for a goalkeeper at the time.

And Karius has now been allowed to leave and rebuild his career in the Turkish Super Lig side after agreeing a two-year loan to Besiktas.

Karius was named on the bench for Liverpool s Premier League opener, a 4-0 defeat of West Ham, but was omitted from the squad for Monday s trip to Crystal Palace and Saturday s win against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The German made 49 appearances for Liverpool after arriving from Mainz…

RB Leipzig triumphed 2-1 over Werder Bremen at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday, providing their fans with some tangible memories as they made a late comeback to overturn the scoreline.

The visitors took the lead through Leonardo Bittencourt in the 70th minute. Willi Orban equalized in the 87th, and Dominik Szoboszlai sent the stadium mad with a 96th-minute winner.

But before the match, the home supporters spread out a vast banner in show of support for gender equality.

Passion has no gender!

United States star Abby Wambach is in hot water with FIFA following comments directed at officials.

Wambach was issued a warning after she made a not-so-subtle jab about French referee Stephanie Frappart s decision to issue Megan Rapinoe and Lauren Holiday yellow cards in the Women s World Cup last-16 match against Colombia on Monday.

I don t know if they were yellows, she said. It seemed like she [the referee] was purposefully giving those yellows to maybe players that she knew were sitting on yellows.

I don t know if that was just a psychological thing, who knows. Who knows?

Wambach apologized later, saying  I m not in the referee s head, and that s something I definitely take ownership of and apologize for.

However, she could still recei…

Pep Guardiola s Bayern Munich revert their attention to domestic matters at Hannover on Sunday after a successful midweek European trip.

The German champions remain on course to defend their Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League and DFB-Pokal titles after taking the upper hand in their European last-16 tie with Arsenal on Wednesday.

Goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller ensured Bayern claimed a 2-0 first-leg advantage at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday and, provided other results go their way on Saturday, Bayern could be 19 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga by the end of the weekend.

Bayern have been irresistible in the German top flight so far this season and are both the most potent and defensively sound side in the Bundesliga scoring 57 goals and conceding…

Adama Traore s two-goal haul in Wolves shock victory over Manchester City was a reward for playing to the limit of his strengths , according to Nuno Espirito Santo.

Wolves defended stoically at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday and consistently threatened on the counter-attack, though the game remained goalless at half-time.

City dominated possession after the restart but were unable to find a breakthrough and Traore punished them on the break in the 80th minute before completing a 2-0 triumph in stoppage time.

Traore played most of the game at right wing-back but was moved up front late on and used his pace to put the hosts makeshift defence to the sword.

He played good. He went to the limit of his strengths. He did very well. Not only him, all the players…

Arsenal have opened negotiations with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over a new contract, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The striker s current deal with the north London club runs for two more years, but at the Emirates they are keen on securing his services until 2023, when he will have turned 34.

Despite turning 30 four months ago, Aubameyang s form doesn t seem to be wavering. He was joint-top scorer of the Premier League last season together with Liverpool duo of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, with each finding the opposition net 22 times. This time around he s scored seven goals in eight league matches so far, while his total figures in the Arsenal shirt are 49 strikes in 75 appearances in all competitions since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018.

Turning their attention back to Premier League duties on Saturday night, Arsenal will welcome Newcastle to the Emirates this weekend.

Arsenal

Starting with the hosts, suffering last-gasp Champions League heartbreak away at Portuguese giants Porto in midweek as they eventually had to settle for a 1-0 defeat, Arsenal will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, with their sights still set on securing a first Champions League crown since 2004, Mikel Arteta’s men are enjoying a major domestic flurry. Last seen in top-flight action storming their way to a 5-0 victory away at Burnley, Arsenal have won all of their previous five straight Premier League appearances on the bounce. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat just a si…

Rob Edwards’ delight at Luton ending their 22-year wait for Premier League football was nothing compared to the relief he felt at the news captain Tom Lockyer was all right.

Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship play-off final went the distance at a packed Wembley, where the Hatters rallied after their skipper’s worryingly collapse early on.

Jordan Clark put Luton into a deserved lead that Coventry midfielder Gustavo Hamer cancelled out in the second half, with the match ending 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra-time.

Tom’s Dad here. Tom is ok. Very happy but so sad he can’t be there with his team mates. Here is the moment…….

Ilkay Gundogan has turned down reported interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich to sign a new contract with Borussia Dortmund.

The Germany international has made just one Bundesliga appearance this term due to a back injury but has seen his name linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs.

Gundogan s previous deal was due to expire at the end of next term with the close-season expected to see many fighting for his signature.

However, he has agreed an extension at Signal Iduna Park which sees him remain under contract until June 2016 and he remains eager to play a part in the club s future.

I am very grateful that my club gives me the opportunity to continue to be part of this special team and this very special environment, he told Dortmund s official web…
