Piers Morgan and Lee Dixon get in a heated argument, things get physical between Huddersfield and Luton and an eight-year-old goes viral for his goal.

As Mikel Arteta's Arsenal go from bad to worse in the league, the same couldn't be said for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The forward is having the time of his life for Barcelona and has notched up eight goals in nine games. The question is, should Arsenal have sold him in January?

Piers Morgan labelled it as one of the 'worse decisions' Arteta and the club have made in recent times. The comments prompted a reply from former player Lee Dixon who called the TV host 'silly'.

Piers. Really. You are really making yourself look rather silly. Enough. Get over it. He was disruptive. Club always bigger. You know that. @Arsenal

If being honest, this 'Twitter spat' is a little bit silly as well.

An eight-year-old scored an absolute worldy of a free-kick.

Move over Ronaldo? This is the same Cristiano Ronaldo who has not scored a free-kick since July 4, 2020. Perhaps Cr7 can take some tips from Ernie...

BOOM! 🚀🚀🚀

While it's an incredible strike, one tends to wonder what Roy Keane would be saying if it was David de Gea who was in net?

On this day, Bobby Moore was born.

Moore led England to their first and only World Cup triumph in 1966. The Three Lions beat West Germany 4-2 with Geoff Hurst scoring a hat-trick.

Moore played 108 times for England and 647 times for West Ham. He was inducted into the English Hall of Fame in 2002.

Bobby Moore would have turned 81 today.

We all remember when Ruud van Nistelrooy missed a penalty against Arsenal in 2004 and then Martin Keown got in his face.

Well, this below is a contender for overtaking it.

According to Sky Sports, Manchester City have made an offer to sign Erling Haaland.

The forward is one of the most in-demand players and Pep Guardiola looks determined to get his man.

While Haaland has a release clause, City are prepared to pay Borussia Dortmund much more. The overall package totals up to €295m, which includes a five-year, €30m per season contract for Haaland. Not bad if you can get it, eh.

Erling Haaland.
In addition to the 75 million euro release clause, Manchester City is ready to pay another 70 million euro in commissions, while the player is ready for a five-year contract at 30 million euro per season. Offer already submitted and awaiting response.@SkySport pic.twitter.com/WfVOpVSkyY
