Arsenal and Ukraine defender Oleh Luzhnyi has put his coaching dreams on hold in order to fight alongside his people following the Russian invasion.The 53-year-old spent four years at Arsenal and won both the Premier League and FA Cup under the guidance of Arsene Wenger in 2002 and 2003 respectively.Luzhnyi has held several coaching roles at Dynamo Kyiv since his 2005 retirement, holding one permanent management role at Tavriya Simferopol - but that career has now been paused.Luzhnyi has told Sky Sports News of his reaction to the Russian invasion of his country, which president Vladimir Putin has called "a special military operation"."The situation is horrific," Luzhnyi said."I want to come to coach in the UK but before anything I will stand firmly and fight for my people, for my country and for democracy."We all hope this will be over soon as innocent lives are being lost and families are being torn apart.

Cristiano Ronaldo prevented a Manchester United goal in bizarre fashion as his rough patch of form continued against Watford.The Red Devils club legend has found the back of the net just once in his last 10 games.Prior to bagging against Brighton earlier this month, he was on his longest goal drought of his club career since 2009.In fairness, in wasn't for a lack of trying at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, as he had a goal ruled out for offside, a shot hit the post and would've scored had Bruno Fernandes played him in for an open goal.However, Fernandes may have been getting his own back on his fellow Portugal international.Earlier in the match Ronaldo had inadvertently blocked one of his shots which may have gone in otherwise.Despite all of those chances, United were unable to find a goal as Premier League strugglers Watford secured a valuable point on their travels. Should Man Utd sell Ronaldo in the summer?

Boxing fans were in uproar on Saturday night following Josh Taylor's controversial split decision win over Jack Catterall at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.Catterall dominated the bout against unified light-welterweight world champion Taylor but was robbed of an historic victory following the shock scores of the judges.Pundits and fans alike have since slammed the decision and called for a rematch, with the fight's outcome labelled as one of the worst decisions in recent boxing history.Therefore, here are six of boxing's most terrible decisions from the past, including Taylor v Catterall, Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.It had been thought that Catterall had come out on top before the judges scores were read out, having knocked down an underwhelming Taylor.However, two of the three judges had ruled the fight in favour of the unified champion, scoring the fight 114-111 and 113-112 in Taylor's favour.The third judge scored the fight 113-112 in favour of Catterall, with both fighters having had points deducted during the bout.Enraged by the decision, Catterall stormed out of the ring and towards the changing room, before later taking to Twitter to say: "What a load of s***!"Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield met at Madison Square Gardens in New York in March 1999 in a heavyweight unification bout.Following a pulsating 12 rounds, the commentators expected Lewis to be declared the victor, despite a late flurry from Holyfield in rounds eight to 11.However, boos rang around the arena after the fight was deemed a split decision draw, with HBO's announcers calling the decision "a travesty".A rematch was ordered almost immediately, taking place eight months later in Las Vegas, with Lewis winning via unanimous

Jurgen Klopp had some choice words for Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta following Liverpool’s draw with the Blues earlier today.The match was a heated affair, with both clubs hoping to gain an early advantage on their Premier League title rivals.Chelsea went 1-0 up in the first half after Kai Havertz nodded Reece James’ corner past Alisson.However, the game was turned on its head moments before the end of the first 45 minutes when James was sent off for handling Sadio Mane’s shot on the line.Mohammad Salah slammed home the resulting penalty and the first half ended moments later with Liverpool very much favourites to take all three points.But it wasn’t to be for Klopp’s side, who, after coming out for the second half, met an impressively

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has fumed at Premier League officials for their 'quick' VAR check, saying they did not assess the red card for Reece James against Liverpool fully.The Blues were heading into half time at Anfield ahead, thanks to Kai Havertz's looping header after 21 minutes.But the game suddenly turned in additional time when the full-back was shown a straight red.He had blocked Sadio Mane's close-range shot on the line following a corner kick but a VAR review saw Anthony Taylor point to the penalty spot and dismiss James. Mohamed Salah then scored from the spot before Edouard Mendy's kick of the ball on Jordan Henderson sparked a fracas.

Liverpool icon Jose Enrique has said he will "jump in the pool naked" if the Reds pull off the signing of Kylian Mbappe.PSG star Mbappe could be on his way out of the Ligue 1 giants in the final week of the transfer window with Liverpool and Real Madrid among those believed to be keen.The Reds have often been linked with a move for Mbappe, especially since teaming up with sportswear giants Nike.Any transfer is expected to cost over £135million with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp saying the Reds are working within their means this summer.So with a move to Anfield perhaps looking unlikely for France star Mbappe, Enrique has made a bizarre promise.The Spaniard wrote on Instagram: “If this happens and [it] is us who sign him, I’m actually going to

Arsenal should “just give me the job” as he blasted Mikel Arteta’s side for making “simple” errors in their defeat to Chelsea.Goals from Romelu Lukaku and Reece James secured the three points for the Blues on Sunday, as Arsenal were outclassed by their opponents.Defensive issues continue to plague the Gunners, with newly-promoted Brentford beating them on the opening day of the season in part thanks to generous defending from Arteta’s side.That is despite Arsenal being the biggest spenders in the Premier League so far this summer, with former captain Campbell blasting his old side for committing such basic errors.“It’s hard watching Arsenal at the moment, it’s really hard,” Campbell told talkSPORT.“It’s just the effort and the quality.

Liverpool star amid continued speculation over a potential return to the Premier League.Coutinho has been linked with Arsenal in recent weeks, with Barcelona reportedly willing to offer the playmaker in a bid to land Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang.Talk of a return to Liverpool has also resurfaced, despite Jurgen Klopp having previously said a move could be problematic.Gunners boss Mikel Arteta last week signed Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid on a permanent deal after the 22-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at the Emirates.So whether he would be interested in splashing out on Coutinho is debatable - even though Arsenal have lost their first two games of the Premier League season without scoring a goal.And now the Brazilian's
