Kamara reveals discussion with Amrabat before goal

BBC News15-04-2025
Hull City forward Abu Kamara claims he plotted his equalising goal with teammate Nordin Amrabat from the bench in the 1-1 draw against Coventry City.Kamara and Amrabat were introduced just before the hour mark in a double substitution by head coach Ruben Selles with the Tigers a goal down following Matt Grimes' deflected opener for the Sky Blues.With eight minutes of normal time remaining, Amrabat's pinpoint crossfield pass found Kamara in space and his curling effort towards the far corner hit Coventry defender Jay Dasilva, creeping in at the near post to earn Hull a share of the spoils."Me and Nordin were just having a conversation talking about how we were going to link up [before the double substitution]," Kamara told BBC Radio Humberside."He just said to me to make that darting run in behind the full-back, and that's how the goal came along."All I had to do was touch and shoot, the pass was on the money really."Kamara's fifth league goal of the season for the Tigers saw them go three points clear of the Championship relegation zone with just four matches remaining and the 21-year-old says he remains confident about his side's survival chances."It feels great to be honest, coming on and playing a massive role in getting a point towards our goal is just everything to me," he added."I want to keep this team up and I think we're more than capable of staying up in this league."

Man Utd sign off on goalkeeper loan transfer amid Emi Martinez frustration

Manchester United have a decision to make over their goalkeeping department with Andre Onana facing an uncertain future but one deal has already been confirmed by the Red Devils Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek has signed a new contract with the Red Devils before completing a loan move to Bristol City. The 21-year-old is a product of the club's academy and has regularly been afforded chances to train with the first team at Carrington. ‌ But instead of joining the side on their pre-season tour, Vitek has penned a new deal until the summer of 2028 and straight away moved to Championship side Bristol City on a season-long loan. The Czech Republic youth international has previously had spells on loan with Accrington Stanley and Austrian side Blau-Weiß Linz. ‌ On completing his move to Ashton Gate, Vítek said: 'I'm really excited, for me the Championship is a new level. More games is a big positive for me and I can't wait to get to know all the players and staff better.' ‌ Vitek will now hope to earn more experience having been tipped for big things by Academy lead goalkeeping coach Tommy Lee. He said: "Radek has done great out there in Austria. 'He got an injury early on but recovered extremely well and played really well. He has got really good experience there. I think we often use Radek as an example to some of the younger goalkeepers in the Academy. 'He is a player who maximises every part of the programme to ensure he is the best he can possibly be. Nutrition, gym, analysis. He is the consummate professional and that is going to take him, I believe, to the top level. "He is a talented boy and that needs to be said. He's 6ft 6ins and that always helps! For the other lads, their challenge is to be as good as Radek and do everything he does and more. He is a great example of someone who does that." Vitek's departure comes amid uncertainty within the goalkeeping ranks at Old Trafford. Current number one Andre Onana 's future is up in the air following a tricky couple of campaigns during his time with United. ‌ Ruben Amorim's side have been linked with a host of potential replacements including Aston Villa star Emi Martinez. United have already lodged a loan bid for the 2022 World Cup winner but that was rebuffed by the Midlands side. Senne Lammens of Royal Antwerp has also emerged as a potential option for United, albeit would be a far less experienced option that Martinez.

‘Never watching this nonsense again' rant fans as major league confirms two-team expansion for 2026 season

Three new clubs could be in the league OUT MY LEAGUE 'Never watching this nonsense again' rant fans as major league confirms two-team expansion for 2026 season SUPER LEAGUE clubs have brought forward the expansion to 14 clubs to next season. It was expected the addition of two more sides would not come until 2027, to tie in with the next broadcasting deal. 2 The Super League will expand to 14 teams for the 2026 season Credit: PA 2 Two teams will be selected by an independent panel Credit: Getty But at a meeting of top flight sides in Leeds today, the majority voted to expand for 2026. It has angered fans, who reacted: "I'm never watching this nonsense again." Another said: "The death has started." But other disagreed, commenting: "Finally! About time. This should have happened years ago." READ MORE IN SPORT WADE IN Christian Wade's attitude sees him make mark in THIRD professional sport IMG's grading system will decide 12 of the clubs who will make up the larger competition, which will see the end of despised loop fixtures and keeping the 13 home matches. However, two teams others will be chosen by an independent panel. This means those from outside the top 14 can be picked if they do not make the 12, so the prospect of Toulouse Olympique being overlooked is open. And with Salford set to still be relegated despite the expansion, there is the prospect of three clubs, including Bradford, coming up. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK If the Red Devils do stay in, that will mean a miraculous escape after months of chaos under the shambolic ownership of Sire Kailahi and Curtiz Brown. However, a Bulls' return would spark many complaints given the link with new Rugby League Commercial chair Nigel Wood, who headed the "club-led strategic review". Until March, he was chairman at Odsal – the condition of which, with one seated and covered stand - is another source of anger among supporters. And a raising of the overseas quota rules, allowing teams to have ten foreign players from 2026, has raised fears of a dilution of talent across 14 teams. London Broncos, currently 10th in the Championship and Oldham, only promoted from League One last year, are also keen on a place at the top table. A Super League statement said: 'The 12 existing Super League clubs have voted to extend the competition to 14 teams for the 2026 season, subject to conditions. 'This would be done by combining the club grading system introduced to determine Super League membership as part of the sport's long-term strategic partnership with IMG in 2022, with an independent panel to be chaired by Lord Jonathan Caine. 'The top 12 clubs under grading at the conclusion of the 2025 domestic season will therefore be joined by two clubs recommended by that panel – provided the panel judges there are two applications of sufficient merit against the set criteria. 'The Super League clubs have the right to determine the number of the clubs in the competition. 'The possibility of immediate expansion to 14 clubs was one of a number of options put to a meeting of the existing 12 clubs.'
