Chelsea, meanwhile, edged past Leeds United 1–0, with Enzo Fernández scoring the winner and goalkeeper Robert Sánchez making vital saves to secure a tense victory.All that plus PL action here on Just For Kicks!

Igor Tudor’s brief reign at Tottenham Hotspur collapsed almost as quickly as it began, a 44-day spell marked by defeat and growing anxiety near the relegation zone. Brought in as a stabilizing presence, he instead oversaw a winless league run and a dispiriting European exit, with his final loss encapsulating a team short on confidence and direction. His “mutual” departure feels less like a decision than an inevitability, leaving Spurs once again scrambling for answers as the threat of relegation looms.We dissect Spurs' future and much more here on this international edition of Just For Kicks!

Mohamed Salah’s impending exit from Liverpool feels less like a departure but more like the closing chapter of a defining era at Anfield. For years, Salah has been the club’s relentless heartbeat in attack — a symbol of consistency, brilliance, and big moments — and his farewell leaves behind not just a statistical void, but an emotional and tactical one. While shifting dynamics and the natural cycle of squad evolution have nudged both sides toward this turning point, his legacy remains firmly intact, etched into Liverpool’s modern history.We give the Egyptian King his flowers & cover the international action here on this episode of Just For Kicks!
