    New manager Vítor Pereira enjoyed a perfect debut as Nottingham Forest secured a commanding 3-0 away win against Fenerbahçe in the Europa League playoff first leg.

    ​Forest took control through goals from Murillo, Igor Jesus, and captain Morgan Gibbs-White, placing them firmly in the driver’s seat for the return leg.

    Pereira, the club’s fourth coach this season, replaced Sean Dyche only days ago.

    The victory provides a massive boost for the Premier League side, who currently sit 17th domestically and face a daunting clash against Liverpool this Sunday.

    ​Elsewhere in European action, Genk secured a 3-1 victory in Zagreb, while Bologna edged out Brann 1-0 thanks to a Santiago Castro winner.

    Premier League counterparts Crystal Palace struggled, managing only a 1-1 draw against Bosnian champions Zrinjski Mostar in the Conference League.

    These two-leg playoffs determine which sides will join the top eight teams in the prestigious round of 16 next month.

    Kvaratskhelia’s brace, his 12th and 13th for the club in his 50th appearance, highlights his recent surge in form. The team’s attacking prowess was evident with 2.01 expected goals and a continued scoring streak at home in Ligue 1.

    In a cagey affair, a stellar save from Berke Ozer to deny Mason Greenwood proved vital for the hosts. The match also saw Lille midfielder Benjamin Andre mark his 450th Ligue 1 appearance with a commanding performance, winning ten duels for his side.

  • Arsenal pushing to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi before Chelsea

    Arsenal is actively pursuing the transfer of young midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, aiming to complete a deal before Chelsea. The Gunners are reportedly pushing hard for the player, with a potential transfer fee around €45 million.
