Birmingham City import Neil Etheridge. Blues Photo MANILA, Philippines—Neil Etheridge on Wednesday decried the racial abuse incident he reported during Birmingham City’s recent match against Blackburn Rovers in England’s Football Association (FA) Cup. The Philippine Azkals goalkeeper took to social media after a 1-0 defeat in the replay of their fourth-round tie held at the Blues’ home ground St. Andrew’s. “I know that one individual does not speak for an entire fanbase or everyone in society,” Etheridge said, days after the incident that took place over the weekend at Blackburn’s Ewood Park. “I am proud of what I did to bring to light, once again, an ongoing problem that we all have a responsibility to tackle head on. Racism and all forms of discrimination should not be tolerated. We cannot eradicate it overnight, but if we can all keep doing our bit to educate those out there, I hope and pray that my child, and our children, can grow up in a better world,” he added. … [Read more...] about Neil Etheridge condemns racial abuse in England’s FA Cup

Manchester United cruised into the League Cup final with an unconvincing but yet comfortable win over Nottingham Forest. Erik ten Hag's side's 3-0 victory over Steve Cooper's men in the first leg meant they were able to play most of the match in second gear. And it was well into the second half before substitue Anthony Martial finished off a sharp counter attack by bundling home a deflected effort from Marcus Rashford that fell kindly into his path. But if the first goal was scrappy, United's second was sublime. Bruno Fernandes found Rashford at the back post with an inch perfect cross, and the Englishman responded by prodding the ball back across goal for Fred to tap in from two yards. Despite the goals, the biggest cheer of the evening was reserved for Jadon Sancho, who was brought off the bench for his first appearance since October 22 - Daily Star Sport considers four things Ten Hag got right, after United set up a mouth watering League Cup Final meeting against Newcastle … [Read more...] about Four things Erik ten Hag got right as Man Utd see off Nottingham Forest to reach Wembley
