Lukaku: Inter going the right way

Years after its announcement and following delays, Torn Banner Studios’ No More Room in Hell 2 enters Steam Early Access on October 22nd. As a sequel to the 2013 survival horror title (which started life as a Half-Life 2 mod), it retains the eight-player co-op aspect and zombie slaying. Check out the announcement trailer below for some short new gameplay.

On Steam, the developer confirmed it plans to remain in early access for “at least one year.” It will include permadeath characters, multiple enemy types, ‘unique “enemy encounter” moments’, various melee and ranged weapons, a dismemberment system for zombies, traps, explosives, and an evolving narrative. Only one map, Power Plant, is available, but it will hav…

Gianluigi Donnarumma made a crucial penalty save before Krzysztof Piatek and Suso steered AC Milan to a 2-0 win over Frosinone that boosts their Serie A top-four hopes.

After a forgettable opening half at San Siro the game burst into life when Ignazio Abate felled Luca Paganini shortly following the restart.

Donnarumma kept out Camillo Ciano s spot-kick, though, and Piatek showed great movement in the area to end a run of six games in all competitions without a goal in the 57th minute.

Suso s exquisite free-kick put the game beyond doubt and the Rossoneri are now level on points with Atalanta, who face a daunting trip to champions Juventus later on Sunday ahead of the decisive final round of fixtures.

We re two-to-the-good!!
Forza Ragazzi!! 2-0

Philippe Coutinho s brilliance was not enough to secure Liverpool s first Champions League win since 2014 as Spartak Moscow earned a 1-1 draw.

Jurgen Klopp s side dominated for much of Tuesday s Group E contest at the Otkrytiye Arena, but had to settle for the point earned by Coutinho cancelling out Fernando s effort.

Liverpool entered the fixture with added urgency following a disappointing home draw against Sevilla to open their campaign.

But they got off to a nightmare start as Fernando put the limited hosts ahead with a curling free-kick.

The visitors showed great resolve over the remainder of the first half and entered the break level thanks to Coutinho s second goal in as many games.

Yet Spartak tightened up in the second period and Liver…

Manchester United are interested in signing Raphael Varane from Real Madrid and have been in talks with his representatives for three years now, and according to Manchester Evening News, they re planning to tempt him with a final offer to move to Old Trafford next summer.

With the defender under contract with the Spanish giants until the summer of 2022, United apparently feel that the moment the deal enters its final 12 months is their best chance of prizing him away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

United have been struggling with identifying the right player to lead their back line since the days of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, and that was the reason they agreed to pay £80 million to sign Harry Maguire in 2019. However, their defence still seems shaky despite the pre…

Starting with the hosts, after picking up a 2-1 win away at Burnley prior to the international break, Leicester appear to be enjoying a new lease of life. Really showing some improvements following the arrival of Brendan Rodgers last month, the Foxes have now won their last two Premier League matches on the bounce and another victory on Saturday could see them climb within touching distance of the final Europa League spot. Enduring a run of form that saw them lose their previous four matches at the King P…

Outgoing Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola says Lionel Messi is likely to be the best player he will ever see.

Argentina international Messi netted his 73rd goal of the season during Barca s 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the final of the Copa del Rey on Friday.

The victory at Estadio Vicente Calderon meant a winning send-off for Guardiola in what was the record-breaking coach s final match in charge.

Guardiola, 41, has led Barca to 14 major honours in just four seasons at Camp Nou and paid special tribute to the contribution of superstar Messi.

It has been an honour to be the coach of the best player I have ever seen and probably the best I will see, Guardiola said.

Messi taught me to be even more competitive. We would have won trophies witho…

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce revealed on Wednesday that the club s deal to sign free agent Lassana Diarra has fallen through.

Sam Allardyce said administrative difficulties have prevented West Ham from completing the signing of Lassana Diarra on a free transfer.

West Ham had been expected to tie up a deal for Diarra in the coming days after the French midfielder was released by Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow in August.

Diarra, 29, had been training with West Ham in the view of earning a contract but Allardyce told reporters following Wednesday s goalless draw against Southampton that the former Real Madrid man would not be arriving at Upton Park.

We have waited and we have negotiated for weeks to get the right deal and now we ve got it, we find we can t…
