Tottenham Hotspur forward Mohammed Kudus will ‍be out until April ​with a quad injury ‌he suffered during ​Sunday’s draw with Sunderland, manager Thomas Frank said on Thursday.

Kudus has made 19 Premier League appearances for Tottenham this ​season, scoring twice and ⁠providing five assists. The 25-year-old Ghana international went down ​off the ⁠ball during the draw that left Tottenham 14th in the table.

“That is ‌one where we ‌expect him back after the March international ‍break,” Frank told reporters on Thursday.

The international break ‍is scheduled from March 23-31.

“(Midfielder) Lucas Bergvall is being assessed today. Same with Rodrigo Bentancur. Rodri has a hamstring injury, looks like a ⁠bigger one, unfortunately. We don’t know the ​time frame,” Frank said.

Tottenham Hotspur’s captain Cristian Romero has taken a dig at the club’s hierarchy ‍after players were seen arguing with fans following a 3-2 ​Premier League defeat at Bournemouth.

Defeat on Wednesday ‌left Tottenham in 14th place in the ​table, piling pressure on manager Thomas Frank, and disgruntled fans let the players know their feelings, with the likes of Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro involved in verbal exchanges.

Argentina’s World-Cup winning defender Romero apologised to the fans in a ​social media post and suggested it should not ⁠be the players having to front up to the supporters.

“We are responsible, there’s no doubt about that. But we will keep ​facing up to it ⁠and trying to turn the situation around, for ourselves and for the club,” he said.

“At times like this, it should be other people coming ‌out to speak, but they don’t -- as has ‌been happening for several years now. They only show up when things are going ‍well,” he added.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy stepped down as executive chairman in September after 25 years with chief executive ‍Vinai Venkatesham taking on the day-to-day running of the club.

It was not clear who Romero was referring to in his Instagram post in which he apologised to the fans for another defeat in what is turning into a disappointing season.

But the 27-year-old insisted the players will stick together and try to emerge ⁠from the current slump, which has seen them win only twice in their last 12 ​Premier League games.

“We’ll stay here, working, sticking together and ⁠giving our all to turn things around. Especially at times like this, keeping quiet, working harder and moving forward all together, is part of football,” he said.

Tottenham hosts Aston Villa in the ⁠FA Cup third round on Saturday.

Tottenham’s woeful Premier League home form continued as Fulham claimed its first away victory of the season with a 2-1 win on Saturday, thanks to early goals by Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson.

Tete’s deflected shot put the visitors ahead after four minutes, and two minutes later, Wilson took advantage of Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario’s mistake with a stunning second.

Fulham should have been home and dry before halftime, with Samuel Chukwueze denied by the post and then by a goal-saving tackle by Micky van de Ven as Tottenham wobbled.

But the host side was a different proposition after the break and dominated the game after Mohammed Kudus halved the deficit in the 59th minute with a powerful dipping shot.

Tottenham was unable to salvage anything, though and has not won a home league match since the opening weekend.

It is in 10th place on 18 points, while 15th-placed Fulham, which had lost its last five away league games, moved six points above the relegation zone.

Magpies get the better of Everton

Malick Thiaw scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season after 55 seconds as Newcastle United recorded a first away win of the campaign with a 4-1 success over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade added two more in the first half as Newcastle led 3-0 at the break, before Thiaw bagged his second as the visiting side took advantage of more poor defending from its host.

Newcastle moved into 11th in the table with 18 points from 13 games, while Everton also has 18 points but is in 14th place, having conceded four goals for the first time at its new stadium on the banks of the River Mersey.

It was the perfect 48th birthday present for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, a boyhood Everton fan, despite a superb goal for the host from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Eberechi Eze scored a majestic hat-trick for Arsenal as it trounced north London rival Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 to open up a commanding six-point lead at the top of the Premier League on Sunday.

For 36 minutes, the derby was a cagey contest with Tottenham frustrating Mikel Arteta’s side, but the host struck three times in 10 minutes either side of halftime.

Leandro Trossard broke the deadlock from close range before Eze, the player Arsenal snatched in a summer transfer tussle with Tottenham, rifled in Arsenal’s second after 41 minutes.

The second half was only seconds old when Eze again found space on the edge of the area to dispatch another shot inside the post and put his side in complete control.

Tottenham got a lifeline out of the blue in stunning fashion in the 55th minute when Richarlison lobbed Arsenal keeper David Raya from near the centre circle.

The visitor was more of a threat in the second half, but Arsenal never really looked troubled, and Eze completed his hat-trick in the 76th minute with another clinical finish.

Arsenal, unbeaten in nine league games, has 29 points from 12 games, with second-placed Chelsea on 23. Tottenham’s first away league defeat of the season left it ninth on 18 points.

Eze was at the centre of a summer transfer battle between the two north London clubs, with Arsenal scooping the former Crystal Palace forward from under the noses of its rival.

If that was not bad enough, the England international rubbed Tottenham’s noses in it on Sunday as he lit up his first north London derby in scintillating fashion.

Tottenham had been impressive away from home under new manager Thomas Frank, with no defeats and only three goals conceded in the Premier League before Sunday.

Frank set his side up conservatively for his first taste of the derby with containment not entertainment on his mind.

Three central defenders, two holding midfielders and deep full-backs restricted Arsenal to just one real chance in the opening half an hour with Eze’s scooped pass met on the volley by Declan Rice and Guglielmo Vicario saving well.

AS IT HAPPENED - ARS VS TOT HIGHLIGHTS

Vicario was not called into serious action again until the 33rd minute when he sprang to his right to keep out a Bukayo Saka free kick.

But the breakthrough came soon after as, for once, Arsenal found space in the Tottenham area with Mikel Merino’s chipped pass controlled by Trossard with his back to goal.

The Belgian took a touch and his shot on the turn nicked off Micky van de Ven to give Vicario no chance.

Tottenham’s negative game plan was in tatters when Eze turned on the edge of the area and fired a low shot through a crowd and beyond Vicario.

The visitor sent on attacking midfielder Xavi Simons at halftime, but within seconds of the restart, it was effectively all over as a contest, as once again Eze was allowed too much time and he thrashed a shot past Vicario.

Tottenham had not landed a glove on Arsenal for 55 minutes but scored with its first shot on target as Joao Palhinha won the ball just inside Arsenal’s half and Richarlison, spotting Raya off his line, floated a 45-metre shot into the net.

It maintained Tottenham’s record of scoring in every away derby at Arsenal since 2017 and for a while it was re-energised.

But any hope of a comeback ended when Eze yet again found space and his finish was sublime.

Tottenham Hotspur’s majority owners ENIC have invested an extra 100 million pounds ($133.87 million) into the club, the Premier League side said on Thursday, as they aim to drive “long-term sporting success”.

The capital injection comes a month after Spurs said it received and rejected two preliminary expressions of interest for a possible takeover and insisted the North London club is not for sale.

Speculation about a possible change of ownership had increased since executive chairman Daniel Levy stepped down after almost 25 years in the post.

“We are pleased to announce that our majority shareholder, the Lewis family trust, has, through ENIC Sports & Development Holdings Ltd (“ENIC”), injected £100 million of new capital into the club,” Spurs said in a statement.

“This equity injection will further strengthen the club’s financial position and equip the club’s leadership team with additional resources to continue the focus on driving long-term sporting success. This additional capital is part of the Lewis family’s ongoing commitment to the club and its future.”

The financial boost comes as Spurs enjoy a promising start to the season under new manager Thomas Frank, who was appointed in June. It sits third in the Premier League standings, trailing leader Arsenal by two points after seven matches.

The UEFA Super Cup 2025 match between PSG and Tottenham Hotspur has finished in a 2-2 draw.

PSG has done it - Tottenham finally crumbles under the pressure. Dembele gets the ball on the right and whips in a low cross. Ramos is the first to reach the ball and rifles the ball inside the net with his head.

PSG is enjoying all the possession as everyone in a Tottenham shirt is back defending.

PSG booking: Mbaye goes down inside the box and PSG appeals for a penalty. But the referee gives a goalkick. Dembele protests the decision and sees a yellow card.

Spurs clears the ball from a PSg corner. The ball goes to Mendes at the edge of the box who lets fly. The shot takes a deflection and goes out for another corner.

As expected, Tottenham is now looking to protect the narrow lead instead of going for another goal. PSG don’t have much time but all it takes is one moment.

PSG crowd the Tottenham box. Romero gets the ball away but only as far as Vitinha, who does well to send the ball to Lee Kang-in. With time and space, he goes for a shot -- hard and low at the far-corner and rattles the net with an excellent finish..

This match is not over yet. We might witness some late drama.

Tel fouls Kang-in right at the edge of the Spurs box, and PSG has a free-kick in a good position.

Lee Kang-in goes for the shot but it hits Porro, who goes down from the impact.

Tottenham has struck from a freekick again - This time, it is newly-appointed captain Romero who gets to the end of Porro’s delivery and heads the ball at the far-post to score Tottenham’s second. Chavelier manages to get both gloves to the ball but fails to keep the ball from going inside the net. Who would have predicted this?

An early chance for Tottenham in the second half as Richarlison shoots hard and low at goal from inside the box. Chevalier is alert enough to make the save.

Mickey van de Ven’s 39th minute-strike keeps Tottenham in a 1-0 lead against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup 2025 clash as the referee blows the whistle for half-time.

One minute added at the end of the first-half!

It is a well-deserved lead for Tottenham, which has been the better team. The Thomas Frank effect is clear given how sharp Tottenham has been from set-pieces and it has finally been rewarded for its efforts.

Tottenham hurts PSG from a set-piece. Romero wins the header from Vicario’s delivery. PSG fails to clear the lines, and Tottenham manages to get a shot away. Chevalier manages to make the save but the rebound falls to Mickey van de Ven who makes no mistake in lashing the ball inside the open net.

Kvaratskhelia goes for a low cross from the right. The ball is intercepted, but the ball goes straight to Dembele. Dembele lashes at the ball with a first-time shot and sends it out of play. The Frenchman had time to take a touch but ended up rushing his effort.

Barcola races down the left flank and stretches the Tottenham backline. He makes his way near the box and tries to square the ball to the middle. However, Sarr does well to make the block.

We are reaching the 30-min mark and PSG is yet to register a shot on target.

The match resumes after a short cooling break for the players!

Kudus slips a pass from Richarlison, who makes his way towards the goal and shoots at goal. Chevalier, a bit off his line, has to stretch to make the save.

Given PSG’s stellar form, many predicted that the UCL winner would dominate from the start but Tottenham has actually done well, with its early energy putting PSG under pressure.

PSG is relying on playing out from the back, but Tottenham is going for the press. Richarlison, Sarr and Kudus leads the press with the latter eventually closing down Mendes,. However, the ball ricochets back out for a goal kick

Kudus sends a deep cross at the back post for Richalison. For a moment, the cross seemed too heavy ,and it looked like the ball would go out of play. However, Richalison does well to keep it in. He then goes for a cross inside the box but it is a wayward delivery and the ball goes out for a PSG goalkick.

Barcola shows good feet on the left and passes the ball to Kvaratskhelia inside the box, who shoots on the turn. However, under a lot of pressure, the Georgia international fails to make the Tottenham keeper work.

Both teams have started with an attacking intent, which is always a good sign, especially for all the neutrals.

Dembele plays a through ball for Doue on the left but he fails to reach the ball on time as Tottenham regains possession.

The Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur UEFA Super Cup 2025 is underway at the the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy.

Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the UEFA Super Cup 2025 match between Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur being played at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy.

There was not much for Ange Postecoglou to be happy about during Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Monday but perhaps the Australian would have cracked a smile knowing the VAR system was out of action for several minutes.

Postecoglou has long been a vocal critic of VAR and said in early April that the review system was “killing the game” after a Spurs goal was disallowed during a 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Thankfully for officials on Monday, no major incidents took place during the eight minutes VAR was unavailable due to what the Premier League said was a fire alarm at the Stockley Park facility in West London, where the match footage is monitored.

A similar incident occurred in November when Manchester United’s match at Ipswich Town continued without VAR because of a reported fire alarm at the same facility.
