Football never sleeps. During any of the 86400 seconds in a 24-hour day, somewhere in the world someone is doing something related to the beautiful game, whether that’s scoring a last-minute winner in a high-profile match, posting their expert take on social media or simply booting a ball against a wall with their mates.
It’s therefore impossible for any human being to keep up with everything that’s going on in the game, and it’s often those little yet most intriguing moments, like a fan’s alternative viewpoint of a penalty save, or a three-second yet incredibly telling interaction between two arch-rivals, or thread on X explaining why N’Golo Kante is the nicest man in professional sport, which make football so great.
GIVEMESPORT have created our live blog to help solve that problem, providing the best social media has to offer and the greatest football mini-stories from the last 24 hours.
Arsenal slipped to a disappointing home defeat against West Ham United as Mikel Arteta’s men failed to put the pressure on league leaders Liverpool. The Gunners put in a flat display with little attacking options, but the visitors were deserving of the three points.
With no goals to cheer and a second Myles Lewis-Skelly red card of the season, supporters were left with little positives to take away. The one thing they can take away from the Emirates is the new knowledge of just how quick David Raya is.
The goalkeeper had gone up for an attacking corner in the dying moments but was forced to sprint back as West Ham cleared their lines. James Ward-Prowse – admittedly not known for being the quickest player around – looked like he would be first to the ball, but surrendered his significant head-start to the rapid Raya. He could give some of Arsenal’s wide players a run for their money based on this evidence.
