Hyderabad FC scripted a sensational comeback to sink Kerala Blasters by 2-1 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 campaign tonight.

The hosts started the game brightly and earned an early lead through Jesus Jimenez but a brace from Andrei Alba saw the visitors register their second win of the ongoing season. Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters FC are in a slumber with three consecutive losses.

With Kwame Peprah suspended and Noah Sadaoui not fully fit to start, Mikael Stahre turned to his youngsters for this match. He opted to start with two prodigious talents – Mohammed Aimen and Korou Singh on either flank and the wingers paid their coach’s faith with a sensational start. Aimen was the driving force for the hosts in the initial quarter. His direct approach and relentless running caused many problems for Hyderabad FC's backline.

Meanwhile, the real damage was done by Korou Singh, the youngest player (17y 340d) to feature in ISL for Kerala Blasters and the third-youngest overall. Despite his young age, the winger showed great maturity from a counter-attack as he lost his marker with some trickery before finding an on-rushing Jimenez in the box, with a fine low cross. The Spaniard did the rest to hand the team a lead in the 13th minute. Korou became the youngest player to record an assist in the competition.

Later, Jimenez tormented the Hyderabad FC defence again when he combined with Adrian Luna and slotted the ball into the back of the net only to be adjudged offside. Right after the drinks break, Aimen’s brilliant start to the game was cut short due to an injury as he limped off the field.

While Kerala Blasters FC maintained the lion’s share of possession, Hyderabad FC waited for their opportunity. It eventually came in the 43rd minute when Chhunga Hmar made a darting run forward from the left flank before he played Parag Shrivas in space. The fullback got the better of Ruivah Hormipam before squaring to Andrei Alba in space. The Brazilian, who was unmarked at the edge of the penalty area, hammered the ball home to restore parity right before halftime.

The second half saw both coaches trusting their foreign reinforcements as Stahre brought on Noah and Thangboi Singto turned to Edmilson Correia. The latter forward almost made an instant impact when he made a darting run past the Kerala Blasters’ backline before getting denied by Som Kumar.

However, the visitors took the lead in the 70th minute, completely against the run of play when Alba completed his brace, beating Som Kumar from the spot. Hyderabad FC were awarded a penalty following a counter-attack when the referee pointed towards the spot following a handball by Hormipam.

The final ten minutes of the game saw the hosts push for the equaliser but Hyderabad FC held their fort brilliantly to bag maximum points.&nbsp;

ISL: Hyderabad ride on Alba’s brace to register a come-from-behind victory over Kerala Blasters

England interim manager Lee Carsley called up Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall and Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis for the first time on Thursday as he named his final squad.

Carsley will return to his role as Under-21s manager after Nations League games against Greece and Ireland, with Thomas Tuchel starting as the new boss in January.

Hall, 20, has impressed for Newcastle this season, playing in all 10 Premier League games and could provide an answer to England's left-back problems.

Harwood-Bellis, 22, has also been an ever-present for Southampton and has impressed during a difficult start to life back in the Premier League for his club.

"They're both players who have played a lot of minutes this season and have shown they can consistently play in the Premier League at a high level," said Carsley.

Manchester City defender John Stones and Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo are ruled out with injuries, but Declan Rice, Jack Grealish and Cole Palmer are included in the 26-man squad despite fitness issues of their own.

Uncapped Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is also back in the squad after his maiden call-up for last month's games against Greece and Finland.

England head to the Olympic Stadium in Athens next Thursday to face Greece, who have a three-point cushion over them at the top of Group B2, before hosting Ireland three days later.

Defeat in Athens would end England's chances of automatic promotion from the second tier of the Nations League.

Tuchel has signed an 18-month deal that begins on January 1, so will only be an interested observer during this month's games.

"He hasn't had any influence on the squad selection," said Carsley. "I've spoken to him by text, but it's literally congratulations.

"I think he's highly respectful of the job that not only myself, but the staff are doing."

Shreyas Iyer has continued his impressive form for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy as he slammed 233 runs for the record domestic champions on Thursday (Nov. 7). Playing at the historic Wankhede Stadium, Iyer showcased his batting prowess to the Indian team selectors while also attracting interest from several Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises. Interestingly, Iyer was not included in India A and the team touring South Africa despite being one of the senior members of the Indian team.

<h2>Shreyas slams double ton</h2>

Having scored unbeaten 152 at Stumps on Day 1, the right-hand batter continued his exploits on Day 2, and added&nbsp;81 runs to his overnight score against Odisha. His innings consisted of 24 fours and 9 sixes and at a strike rate above 100. He was well supported by Siddhesh Lad who&nbsp;remained unbeaten on 169 before the innings was declared. After Iyer’s dismissal, Suryansh Shedge played a quickfire knock of 79 runs from 36 balls, helping Mumbai reach 602/4 as captain Ajinkya Rahane decided to declare.

Iyer and Lad stitched a partnership of 354 runs for the fourth wicket as they stretched Mumbai’s dominance in the contest.

While Iyer’s batting dominance was the feature of the day, he made a huge statement at the end of 2024, having experienced ups and downs. He was first dropped from the central contract of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) but then helped KKR win the IPL. He was called back into the Indian side for the Sri Lanka tour but was not part of the Test side.

Another shock came on October 31 when he was released by KKR on the retention deadline day, meaning he will enter the auctions. The mega auctions will take place on November 24 and 25 in Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah, with Iyer having set a base price of INR 20 million.

India’s KL Rahul had yet another bad day at the office on Thursday (Nov 7) after he failed to make the most of his chances in the second unofficial Test match between India A and Australia A. On Day 1 of the game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rahul was dismissed for 4, potentially killing his chances for a place in the Playing XI during the official series that kickstarts on November 22. On the other hand, Dhruv Jurel made the most of the chance&nbsp;and&nbsp;smashed 80 runs despite India A getting bowled out for 161.&nbsp;

<h2>Rahul fails yet again</h2>

Rahul had been in the news having faced criticism lately and being released by his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). However, his latest failure has added more woes after he gave&nbsp;away his wicket to Aussie pacer Scott Boland. When Rahul was dismissed, India were 9/3 and were later reduced to 11/4 as the batters failed to make their mark. Rahul was under scrutiny for a while having scored only 12 runs in his only Test match against New Zealand.

On the other hand, top domestic performers Abhimanyu Easwaran and Sai Sudharsan also failed to break the duck as Indian batters struggled big time. None of India’s top four batters were unable to reach double figures with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (4) also proving unable to tackle the Aussie bowling onslaught.

There were animated scenes during the series decided between host West Indies and England on Wednesday (Nov 6) as pacer Alzarri Joseph left the field in frustration after a dispute erupted between him and skipper Shai Hope. Playing at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, the incident took everyone by surprise highlighting internal disputes within the West Indies camp. Former West Indies captain Daren Sammy has passed his opinion on the incident and reckons, Joseph’s behaviour was unacceptable despite the hosts pocketing the series 2-1.

<h2>Sammy labels Joseph’s behaviour unacceptable</h2>

"Behaviour like that is unacceptable on my cricket field," Sammy said to TalkSPORT after play. "We will be friends…but in the culture I'm trying to build, that's unacceptable. We will definitely have a chat about that.”

During the fourth over of the England innings, Joseph was seen in an animated chat with Hope and did not like the placement of the field. On the fourth ball of the same over he dismissed English batter Jordan Cox but refrained from celebrating and returned to the bowling mark in discontent. Tempers boiled at the end of the over when Joseph decided to leave the field without the consent of the captain, umpire and the team management.

This left the hosts with just 10 players on the field during the fifth over, causing chaos in the team. Eventually, Joseph returned to the field for the sixth over but did not resume bowling until the 12th. He bowled two more overs, before leaving the field again after two misfields off his bowling saw England gain two runs through overthrows. He returned later to bowl two more in the middle overs and his remaining three in the death.

The speedster would end with figures of 45/2 in his 10 overs, but it was his behaviour that caught everyone’s attention.

Despite this, West Indies managed to beat England by eight wickets and win the series 2-1. Chasing 264 runs to win, Brandon King (102) and Keacy Carty (unbeaten 128), helped reach the target in 43 overs to win the one-sided contest.

There were animated scenes during the series decided between host West Indies and England on Wednesday (Nov 6) as pacer Alzarri Joseph left the field in frustration after a dispute erupted between him and skipper Shai Hope.

There were animated scenes during the series decided between host West Indies and England on Wednesday (Nov 6) as pacer Alzarri Joseph left the field in frustration after a dispute erupted between him and skipper Shai Hope. Playing at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, the incident took everyone by surprise highlighting internal disputes within the West Indies camp. Former West Indies captain Daren Sammy has passed his opinion on the incident and reckons, Joseph’s behaviour was unacceptable despite the hosts pocketing the series 2-1.

FC Goa registered back-to-back wins at home as they edged past Punjab FC by 2-1 at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season tonight.

Asmir Suljic handed Punjab FC the early lead before Armando Sadiku and Iker Guarrotxena registered their names on the scoresheet for FC Goa to secure their third win of the ongoing season.

The visitors took the early initiative in the game, with Suljic netting in back-to-back games. Despite a few personnel changes, Panagiotis Dilmperis’ men were quickly off the blocks. They were rewarded for their persistent attacks when Asmir Suljic scored in the 13th minute.

It was an excellent cross from Nihal Sudheesh, who lost Boris Singh on the left flank before drilling in a low cross. It was intended for Luka Majcen, who left it for the onrushing Suljic which surprised the FC Goa backline. The Bosnian made no mistake in recording the first strike of the night.

The Gaurs showed great retaliation to the early goal. Their urgency to equalise increased as they pushed bodies forward to support Sadiku. They came close to scoring a couple of times before it all worked out in the 22nd minute when Ayush Chhetri and Sahil Tavora worked out off a tight space in midfield before the latter played it to Iker Guarrotxena in an advanced position.

The Spaniard delivered a deft pass to play Sadiku through on goal. With plenty of work to do, the Albanian showed his goal-scoring prowess as he slotted it past Ravi Kumar and a horde of Punjab FC defenders to level the scores.

The final quarter of the first half was quite chaotic, as both teams were vulnerable in defence. Punjab FC almost had the lead ahead of the break when Suljic combined with Majcen and the latter was through on goal. But FC Goa custodian Hrithik Tiwari stood in the Slovenian’s way.

Unlike the first period, it was the hosts, who had the better start to the second half, as they took the onus in the 49th minute when Guarrotxena found a way past Ravi Kumar, following a fast counter-attack, to hand FC Goa a crucial lead.

The goal forced Dilmperis to increase the attacking panache as he made structural changes to fit in Mushaga Bakenga from the bench.

Punjab FC kept pushing for the equaliser to salvage something from the game, but Manolo Marqeuz’s men held their lines brilliantly to thwart the danger and register a second successive win in the ISL.&nbsp;

Former Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy should be paid the majority of the £11.5 million ($15 million) in wages withheld by the club after he was charged with rape and sexual assault in 2021, a ruling by a UK judge said on Wednesday.

The ex-French international, who had earned £500,000 a month at the English Premier League Champions, took his case to an employment tribunal last month.

Mendy claimed he had been assured by a senior club official he would receive his unpaid wages once he is cleared of the charges.

The 30-year-old defender, who now plays for French Ligue 2 club Lorient, was found not guilty of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in January 2023, but the same jury could not reach a verdict on another count of rape and one count of attempted rape.

After a retrial, Mendy was found not guilty of both charges.

Employment judge Joanne Dunlop said in a ruling she had concluded that Mendy was "entitled to recover some, but not all of the sums claimed".

She said that while Mendy was not in custody, he had been "ready and willing" to work.

In those circumstances and in the absence of "any authorisation in the contract for the employer to withhold pay he was entitled to be paid", she added.

Welcoming the ruling, Mendy said he was "delighted".

He said he hoped the "club will now do the honourable thing and pay the outstanding amounts... so I can put this difficult part of my life behind me".

Mendy spent two periods in custody, which accounted for approximately five months of the 22-month period covered by his claim, meaning the amount owed is likely to be around £8.5 million.

According to tribunal documents, Mendy "very quickly ran out of money" due to the non-payment of his wages, forcing him to sell his £4.8-million mansion to cover legal fees, bills, and child support payments.

The exact amount he will now receive is due to be calculated by Mendy and the club -- or by the tribunal if they are unable to reach an agreement.

The club continued paying Mendy's salary following his first arrest in November 2020.

But they argued they did not have to after he was charged because of his bail conditions and a Football Association suspension meant he was not able to perform his duties as a player.
