Eliezer Mayenda’s jaw-dropping solo goal against Bristol City left teammates and fans alike in stunned admiration. Picking up the ball just outside his own box, the 19-year-old surged 70 yards downfield, gliding past four defenders before coolly slotting the ball home—despite Sunderland being reduced to ten men early on.

“It’s comfortably the best goal I’ve ever seen live,” said Luke O’Nien. “But honestly, we’ve seen flashes of that in training. His sharpness, his temperament—it’s all elite.” O’Nien also praised Mayenda’s growth, noting the young striker’s perseverance through a challenging start to his Sunderland career. “He’s a great example for any young player—he’s worked hard, earned his spot, and now he’s shining.”

Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over Oxford United on Friday evening brought them a step closer to securing automatic promotion, maintaining their five-point lead over Sheffield United. Despite Oxford’s chances, Leeds had the better opportunities and could have won by a larger margin. Manor Solomon’s goal proved pivotal in ensuring the win, which was crucial after Burnley and Sheffield United had both won earlier in the day.

Looking ahead, Leeds’ next challenge is against Stoke City at Elland Road, with just three games remaining. Solomon, who was substituted late on, reassured fans that his early exit was due to cramp, not injury, and he would be fit for the Stoke match. To secure promotion, Leeds need at least four points from their remaining fixtures, with Sheffield United’s results playing a key role in determining how many points will be needed.

Chilling Revelation Behind Late Sheffield Wednesday Call – Shocking Truth Emerges Over Mysterious Substitution

Michael Ihiekwe was initially named in Sheffield Wednesday’s starting line-up for their match against Stoke City, but a last-minute change saw him withdrawn just ahead of kick-off. Manager Danny Röhl revealed that the decision was made due to a severe injury — Ihiekwe had sustained a deep cut during training the previous day, which made wearing boots too painful. Despite traveling to the match, he was replaced by Dominic Iorfa, who was later substituted himself before the hour mark. Röhl confirmed that Iorfa’s substitution was a tactical decision, not injury-related, and provided valuable minutes for rookie Gabriel Otegbayo.

Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris reflected on a frustrating afternoon at Ashton Gate, where his side played almost the entire match with ten men following Trai Hume’s early dismissal. Though he felt the red card was harsh, Le Bris praised his team’s resilience, especially in the first half, where they managed to take the lead through a brilliant solo effort from Eliezer Mayenda. Despite the eventual 2-1 loss to Bristol City, he remained positive, calling the experience a valuable lesson ahead of the play-offs. “It was really positive to live this experience,” he said. “If this challenge happens again, we’ll have this as a reference.”

Exclusive Revelation: David Prutton Drops Bombshell on Nathan Lowe’s Uncertain Stoke City Future!

April 17, 2025 RAYMOND 0

David Prutton, Sky Sports pundit and former Premier League midfielder, has shared his thoughts on Nathan Lowe’s future at Stoke City following his underwhelming return from a successful loan spell at Walsall. Lowe had been one of the standout performers in League Two, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists in 30 appearances for Walsall. His impressive form prompted Stoke to recall him in January, but he has struggled to replicate that success in the Championship.

Despite a dream return with a goal against West Brom, Lowe has made only eight appearances since, with his recent involvement limited. Prutton suggests that Stoke may consider selling the 19-year-old if the right offer comes in but also believes that Lowe has the potential to thrive under manager Mark Robins. However, given Stoke’s position and Lowe’s age, a loan move to a League One club could be a possibility for next season, though he might still be given a chance to prove himself in the Championship.

Hull City on the Brink: 20th Place, 45 Points—Can They Hold On, or Will the Drop Loom?

April 16, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With only two games left against Derby County and Portsmouth, Hull City seems poised to secure their Championship status for next season—assuming they can win both matches. However, the road to survival is never simple, and many Tigers fans are eager for the team to seal their fate before the final weeks of the season.

Hull’s next challenge comes over the Easter weekend, with a trip to Swansea, who still have outside hopes of reaching the top six, followed by a home match against Preston North End, a side that has struggled on the road. While Hull has often shown the quality needed to avoid relegation, recent form—just one win in their last five—has raised some concerns.

Despite this, Hull’s solid defensive record and superior goal difference give them a crucial advantage over the teams around them, making it likely they’ll gather enough points to stay clear of danger before the season’s end.

Portsmouth’s late equalizer against Derby County on Saturday has put them in a relatively safe position with just four games left to play. With a strong record at Fratton Park, where they’ve lost only five of 21 home games, and upcoming away trips to teams with little to play for, Portsmouth are well-placed to secure enough points to avoid a tense final-day relegation battle. Despite being the only team in this mini-league without a win in their last three matches, they remain favorites to stay clear of the drop zone.

Race to the Finish: How Portsmouth, Oxford United, Hull City & Stoke City’s Final 4 Battles Could Decide Championship Fate

April 16, 2025 RAYMOND 0

As the season draws to a close, Oxford United and Stoke City are among the teams looking to escape the looming threat of relegation. Oxford, currently 17th with 48 points, has gained crucial momentum with three wins in their last five matches, putting them six points clear of the bottom three. Their upcoming Easter fixtures give them a chance to secure survival, with a pivotal clash against Cardiff City on Easter Monday. A win in that match could put them nine points ahead of Cardiff, virtually guaranteeing their safety.

Stoke City, sitting just one place below Oxford in 18th with 47 points, breathed a sigh of relief after a late win over Cardiff. With a five-point gap above the relegation zone, they now face a challenging set of fixtures, including tough away games against Leeds United and Sheffield United. The team will need to pick up points from their upcoming matches, with their best-case scenario being that teams currently in the bottom three fail to make up ground, allowing Stoke to breathe easier as they head into their final stretch.
