Chelsea’s winless Premier League run has been extended to four games after Jean-Philippe Mateta struck late to salvage a draw for Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Blues ended 2024 in disappointing fashion – losing successive matches and failing to win in three – and that problematic form has been carried over into 2025. Cole Palmer got Chelsea off to the perfect start after 14 minutes, scoring his 13th goal in the league after some fine work from Jadon Sancho. Chelsea pressed for further goals but Nicolas Jackson spurned three chances while Sancho, Moises Caicedo and Josh Acheampong shot wide. Palace did not muster an effort on target until the 35th minute with Jefferson Lerma’s shot comfortably collected by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. Despite dominating throughout the first half, Chelsea were almost made to pay for their inability to grab a second when Eberechi Eze shot narrowly wide shortly after the restart. That was a sign that the game would become more evenly fought w...

The Kogi government says it has commenced steps to reclaim illegally occupied properties under the state’s chapter of the national housing programme (NHP). The federal government initiated the NHP to address the nation’s housing deficit. In a statement on Friday, Abanika Taiye, the commissioner for housing and urban development in  Kogi,  expressed concerns over the situation. Taiye said recent assessments showed that unauthorised individuals have forcefully occupied about 85 percent of the housing units in phases one, two, and three of the NHP in the state. “This not only disrupts the programme’s intended purpose but also compromises the dreams and aspirations of rightful beneficiaries,” the commissioner said. He noted that some individuals sell the houses to unsuspecting buyers while calling on all the illegal occupants to vacate the properties to enable the rightful allottees, who have paid for the units, to take possession of their homes. Taiye said parts of the steps...

Barcelona duo Dani Olmo and Pau Victor remain unregistered as the saga surrounding the two players unfortunately continues. The Catalan giants had been “optimistic” all would be resolved on Friday, and had been expected to provide an update on the situation, but none has been forthcoming. Hansi Flick was quizzed about the situation at his pre-match press conference but made it clear that this is not his responsibility and also that he’s not at all happy about it either. Dani Olmo’s agent has also spoken out but only to express his faith in Joan Laporta and Co, and to reiterate that the forward wants to stay at Barca. In the meantime, reports in Spain claim that both La Liga and the RFEF have not changed their minds about the registration status of both players despite Barca’s latest attempts. The club are said to have received the missing payment of €28 million for the sale of VIP boxes and expect now to return to the 1:1 rule. All of the documentation has been sent to La...
