Dele Alli and Harry kane of Tottenham sends Arsenal into a meltdown with a 2-0 (PHOTOS)

Image
Tottenham were certainly too good for ragged Arsenal here, even without being at their best. Goalkeeper Petr Cech was Arsenal’s best player while Arsene Wenger’s team failed to create a chance of note. Already Tottenham have 77 points, seven more than last season. If they win their final four games to finish with 89 points, that would be a total not bettered by anyone in the top flight since Manchester United won the league with 90 in 2008/09. It was no surprise, either, as Tottenham have been too good for most people recently. This was their ninth league win on the spin and it tells you everything about how good they have been and just how good Chelsea have been to keep them at arm’s length.

A witness said: ‘Everyone kept telling the groom to calm down and tried convincing him to accept what he was given. 'But he kept threatening to go home without his new bride. The groom and bride’s father were arguing a lot. It was a crazy scene.’

Arsenal 'will sign' Kylian Mbappe just like we did Thierry Henry, says Robert Pires

Image
Arsenal legend Robert Pires says his former club will sign talented teenager Kylian Mbappe from Monaco. The striker has been linked to several of Europe's top clubs, but the French side's £100m price-tag has so far proved a sticking point.

Image

His form, according to the Italian, has carried him to the cusp of the level reached by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Speaking ahead of Sunday's clash at Everton, Conte added: 'He's a great player. This season, he has improved a lot, not only on the pitch but also he's becoming mentally stronger.

Real Madrid have launched 'Operation David de Gea’ as they head to grad the Man U Keeper (PHOTO)

Image
Real Madrid have launched ‘Operation De Gea’ to get the goalkeeper with the safest hands in the Premier League, according to reports in Spain. So, will this be the summer the Spanish giants finally sign the shot-stopper they’ve targeted for three years? De Gea to Madrid is one of those transfer stories that emerges at the end of every season, like Karim Benzema to Arsenal. Spanish publication Marca – seen as Real Madrid’s mouthpiece – used their front page on Friday to say that De Gea has told United he wants to go. They went as far as to say that the Madrid-born goalkeeper had requested the move personally to his bosses, including Jose Mourinho. The asking price is apparently £60million and terms are said to have been agreed for the experienced Premier League player who is still only 26, according to Marca.

"He looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his body building prime" - World Champ Wladimir Klitschko hails Nigeria's Anthony Joshua ahead of Wembley showdown today (PHOTOS)

Image
The weigh in for the world heavyweight championship super fight at Wembley Stadium has produced a sensation of its own. Anthony Joshua hit the scales heavier than Wladimir Klitschko by almost 10lbs. Klitschko, the Ukrainian who dominated heavyweight boxing for a decade before losing all of his titles to Tyson Fury, is clearly going for unusual speed against Britain's muscular IBF title holder and fabled knockout puncher. Although his torso, biceps and shoulder were rippling with extra muscles, Joshua weighed in only a pound or so heavier than his previous heaviest of 250.2lbs. The shock was that Klitschko, although now 41, came in half a stone lighter than his usual fighting weight, at 240.6lbs.

Image

The IMF, however, warned of challenges the country has to address to make the climb. Those issues include executing a wide-ranging overhaul of the tax system, sorting out the biggest pile of distressed assets among major economies, increasing productivity and employment opportunities, encouraging corporate investment and overcoming a significant infrastructure shortfall.
