Everton boss Sean Dyche fumed at the decision to rule out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 51st-minute goal in their 2-1 Premier League loss at Tottenham.
Spurs were two up inside 18 minutes after close-range finishes by Richarlison and Son Heung-min but were not at their best and could have conceded at the start of the second half.
Calvert-Lewin rifled home after Andre Gomes had won back possession from Emerson Royal, but VAR Michael Oliver told referee Stuart Attwell to review the incident and he disallowed the strike after Gomes was adjudged to have caught the Tottenham full-back on his ankle.
More drama was to follow as Gomes eventually reduced the deficit in the 82nd minute before substitute Arnaut Danjuma hit the crossbar in the dying seconds, with goalkeeper Gugl…
Stoke have sacked manager Alex Neil with the club sitting 20th in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Potters were beaten 1-0 at home by fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, which was a fourth-straight defeat in a six-match winless run.
Neil was appointed at the end of August 2022 after leaving Sunderland, but the former Norwich and Preston boss was unable to mount a sustained promotion challenge, with Stoke eventually finishing 16th last season.
Stoke City Manager Alex Neil has left his position with the Club.
Announcement in full below.

Martin Canning has also left his position, with Paul Gallagher installed as caretaker manager ahead of the home game against Swansea on Tuesday night.

Excellent second-half goals from Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer saw RB Leipzig claim an impressive 2-1 Champions League win over Zenit.
Yaroslav Rakitskiy opened the scoring after 25 minutes for Sergei Semak s visitors, thumping in from long range.
Leipzig s star striker Timo Werner made way at half-time but Julian Nagelsmann s men were revitalised and the influential Laimer got them back on terms.
A picture-book winner from Sabitzer followed in the 59th minute, lifting the Bundesliga side to the top of Group G ahead of the later kick-off between Benfica and Lyon.
Laimer s speculative first-minute strike was pushed onto the crossbar by scampering Zenit goalkeeper Mikhail Kerzhakov.
The visitors began to find room on the break and, after Sebasti…
Hearts have confirmed Craig Levein was taken to hospital on Monday, but he is recovering well.
Levein was in the dugout as Hearts maintained their fine start to the Scottish Premiership season with a 1-0 win at Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Hearts have won each of their first three league games of the season, including beating champions Celtic 1-0 at home, to sit top of the table.
But the club s fans will be concerned after Hearts released a brief statement on Levein on Monday.
Hearts can confirm that manager Craig Levein was taken to hospital this morning, the club said.
Having received medical treatment, Craig is now recovering well in hospital.
No further comment will be made at this time and the club asks that Craig and his family s priv…
Andy Robertson insists that Scotland must right their wrongs from a dismal Euro 2024 campaign to ensure they feel the love again from supporters.
Robertson, who led Scotland in Germany, was powerless to stop their group stage exit as their wait for knockout football at an international tournament went on.
After surpassing George Young s record for the most caps as Scotland captain in June, the Liverpool full-back will wear the armband once again for their two Nations League games.
Steve Clarke s side welcome Poland to Hampden Park on Thursday before travelling to Lisbon to face Portugal three days later.
The summer was a low for all of us, Robertson said. But we have to move on from it. We have to be positive, otherwise it s pointless being here. We h…
AS Roma are interested in signing Adnan Januzaj from Real Sociedad, according to Sky in Italy.
Having joined their youth setup from that of Anderlecht back in 2011, Januzaj started his professional career with Manchester United, but he wasn t able to prove himself capable of playing regularly in a team striving to keep their place at the very top of world football at the time. He spent some time on loan, first at Borussia Dortmund and then Sunderland, before joining Sociedad in a €8.5 million deal in the summer of 2017.
This season, the 24-year-old Belgian made 13 club appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and laying on as many assists.
Roma contacted Liverpool to ask about the possibility of a loan deal for Xherdan Shaqiri last week but the Prem…

Glasner, 49, who led Eintracht Frankfurt to Europa League glory in 2022, has agreed a two-year deal with the Premier League club.

Feyenoord clung on to a first-leg Europa Conference League semi-final lead to progress to the final after holding Marseille to a 0-0 draw at Stade Velodrome for a 3-2 aggregate victory.
The Eredivisie outfit weathered an everything-but-the-kitchen sink performance in attack from their hosts amid a frequently raucous atmosphere in Provence to make history.
It takes the Dutch side to a first major European final appearance since 2002, when they defeated Borussia Dortmund to claim what was then the UEFA Cup.
But for Jorge Sampaoli, it will be a draw that tastes like defeat as Les Olympiens missed the chance for a shot at their first bit of continental silverware since the 2005 Intertoto Cup.

Genoa appointed former midfielder Thiago Motta as head coach in his first senior role, it was announced on Tuesday.
Last week s 5-1 Serie A thrashing at the hands of Parma prompted 19th-placed Genoa to sack Aurelio Andreazzoli and turn to Motta.

The 37-year-old had been coaching the Paris Saint-Germain Under-19s side since ending his playing career with the Ligue 1 champions in 2018.
