• Sancho given fresh start with Chelsea loan move

  Jadon Sancho has secured a move away from Manchester United, having joined Chelsea on Deadline Day on a season-long loan.

  The deal includes an obligation to buy for between £20-£25 million at the end of the loan, according to widespread reports, meaning that the 24-year-old will not be returning to Old Trafford next summer.

  Work to complete the transfer came late on Deadline Day, with a deal sheet being submitted to ensure the signing could go through after the 11pm deadline.

  Chelsea were able to get the deal over the line, confirming the move was complete on Saturday evening. 

  "I’m really excited to be here," Sancho said. "London is where I grew up and I’m happy to be back.

  "The manager spoke to me about the project and, for a young player, it's exciting. Hopefully I can bring goals and assists to the Bridge."

  It brings an end to a three-year spell at Old Trafford for Sancho. The winger originally joined United on a five-year contract in 2021 but, following a public falling out with manager Erik ten Hag, found his first-team opportunities limited.

  Sancho made 83 appearances in all competitions for United, but his last start for the club came against Manchester City in the 2023 FA Cup final. He made three substitute appearances in August 2023 before moving back to Dortmund on loan in January, where he scored three goals in 21 appearances.

  His final outing in a United shirt came off the bench in their Community Shield defeat to Manchester City, but he was not included in the squad for the first two league games.

  Sancho joins a club with plenty of competition for attacking places, with Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Noni Madueke among their roster.

  Chelsea did also manage to move some players on during Deadline Day. Raheem Sterling secured a loan move to Arsenal on Deadline Day, while Trevoh Chalobah joined Crystal Palace, Armando Broja moved to Everton and Djordje Petrovic was loaned by Strasbourg.

• Luis Enrique confident in free-scoring PSG despite Ramos setback

  Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique is confident his players can adapt in the absence of Goncalo Ramos to continue their impressive start to the season.

  PSG have taken to life without Kylian Mbappe with ease, scoring 10 goals in their first two Ligue 1 fixtures, equalling their highest tally after two games played (also in 2022-23).

  The Parisiens have welcomed four new faces during the transfer window, signing Joao Neves, Desire Doue, William Pacho and Matvei Safonov. 

  Luis Enrique was dealt a blow, however, in PSG's opener against Le Harve, with striker Ramos forced off with an injury that will cause him to miss three months.

  But in his absence, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembele have starred in front of goal, with Luis Enrique now focused on bringing the best out of the players available.

  "We want to sign players, and their prices were very high. I have the players I have, I'm happy with their level, now I have to develop their potential," Luis Enrique said.

  "As a nine, we can play with [Marco] Asensio, Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, Barcola, Ramos, Warren [Zaire-Emery], [Achraf] Hakimi, Vitinha, Fabian [Ruiz], Neves... that's 10. It's the same with the defenders.

  "I've got some very versatile players, which fits in with the plan we wanted for this team. Pacho, Doue and Neves — they can play in lots of different roles... so I have a lot of options in my team."

  PSG will seek to claim an elusive Champions League trophy once again this season, but have been handed a difficult draw in the competition's new league phase.

  Luis Enrique's side will face Girona in their first game in the competition, but will also square off against European heavyweights Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.

  "My impression of the draw is that it's a new competition, a new format," Luis Enrique said. 

  "It's obvious that statistically we were the least favoured but I can't judge this competition because we don't know it.

  "We'll say that this is a competition that we're going to try out and we've been the least lucky."

• Frustrated Arteta bemoans referee's inconsistency after Rice red card

  Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was frustrated with the officials after watching his side draw 1-1 with Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium, having played the majority of the second half with 10 men.

  Declan Rice was sent off for a second bookable offence after 49 minutes for delaying the restart from a Brighton free-kick, leaving Arteta to question the consistency of the referee's decision-making.

  “If that happens throughout the game in a consistent way that’s fine,” he told TNT Sports in a post-match interview.

  “But it didn’t happen. In the first half, there were a number of occasions where they kicked the ball away and nothing happened. 

  “It’s inconsistency and it's in an area where it’s not critical. You made that call and you have to give a red card.

  “If we have to play with 10, they have to play with 10 as well.”

  Despite his annoyance at the red card, Arteta was able to find positives in the performance of his team.

  Arsenal went 1-0 up after 38 minutes through Kai Havertz’s second goal of the season, before conceding a second-half equaliser following Rice’s dismissal.

  “We started the game really good, created three or four big chances,” he said.

  “We started the second half really good, had some good moments and momentum and obviously that decision changes the game completely.

  “It was unbelievable the way the team reacted [after the goal] with 10 men, playing 48 minutes, we should have won the game.”

  Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, meanwhile, had a different opinion to his counterpart.

  “It was a red card, he shoots the ball away. He was wasting time,” said Hurzeler in his post-match press conference.

  “If Arsenal think otherwise, there are now two opinions.”

  When asked about a similar incident in which Joao Pedro seemed to avoid punishment for kicking the ball away, Hurzeler suggested the two events were not like-for-like.

  “You can’t compare the two situations,” he said.

  “In football, two situations are never the same. I was booked because I was complaining about the tackle against Joel [Veltman] in the first half. We can accept it’s in the Premier League, it’s a yellow card, but I think no one can complain if the referee gives the red card.”
