By Kyle LynchNov 24, 2014, 3:54 PM EST

Gabriel Agbonlahor has given Aston Villa a surprising 1-0 lead over Southampton.

Southampton boast the stingiest defense in the Premier League, but Villa were able to find the net despite their recent goalscoring struggles.

Ciaran Clark played a long ball through to Gabriel Agbonlahor, who beat Southampton keeper Fraser Forster to give Villa the halftime lead.

Forster came out of his box and seemed to miscommunicate with his defense as the Villa skipper went around the goalkeeper and calmly finished to the delight of the Villa supporters.

With 45 minutes to play, Paul Lambert’s men will look to hold onto a rare halftime lead. For Southampton, earning three points is crucial as they continue to chase Chelsea for the top-spot in the Premier League.

LINEUPS:

Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Sanchez, Westwood, Cleverley, Weimann, N’Zogbia, Agbonlahor

Goal: Agbonlahor (29′)

Southampton: Forster; Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Tadic, Mane, Long, Pelle

USMNT roster for Nations League features Gio Reyna, no Tyler Adams

By Andy EdwardsMar 22, 2023, 8:15 AM EDT

The USMNT will be without captain Tyler Adams when they play a pair of CONCACAF Nations League games later this month, but they will have 13 members of the 2022 World Cup squad, including Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna, as confirmed by U.S. Soccer on Wednesday.

The Yanks will also not have Timothy Weah, who suffered a scary concussion for Lille versus Toulouse on Sunday. He’s been replaced by AZ Alkmaar’s Djordje Mihailovic.

Adams will miss the games against Gernada (March 24) and El Salvador (March 27) after suffering a hamstring injury during a recent training session with Leeds United.

Reyna’s place within the team and program had come into question in the weeks and months since the World Cup, with events and an investigation transpiring involving former/a candidate to remain USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter and Gio’s parents, Claudio and Danielle. Interim head coach Anthony Hudson explained Reyna’s inclusion as a decision to “move forward.”

“It became a bit more complex in the months since the World Cup, but as far as we’re concerned Gio is a part of our program,” Hudson said. “He’s a good guy and a top talent, and he is evaluated like any other player. We made the roster decisions based on what gives the team the best opportunity to win these games, and we brought him in because we think he can help us do that.”

Ivan Toney – Video of all his Premier League goals in 2022-23

By Andy EdwardsMar 21, 2023, 4:11 PM EDT

Ivan Toney has proven himself a bona fide Premier League striker, as he chases a 20-goal season and closes in on 30 scored across two top-flight campaigns, after just one (record-setting) season in the Championship.

Toney bagged a sensational 31 goals in 45 second-division games as Brentford won Premier League promotion in 2020-21, but there were (reasonable) questions about those goals translating to the best league in the world.

He finished 11th in the PL with 12 goals last season, and now Toney is up to 16 goals through the Bees’ first 27 games this season — 3rd-most currently, behind only Erling Haaland’s 28 goals (WATCH HERE) and Harry Kane’s 21 (WATCH HERE).

Below you will find every Ivan Toney goal video from the 2022-23 Premier League season so far.
