‘Like father, like son' – Fans stunned by how similar Cole Palmer's dad is to Chelsea star in viral interview
COLE PALMER and his dad have left fans stunned over how similar they are. Chelsea star Palmer appeared in an interview with dad Scott after winning the Conference League. 2 Palmer inspired Chelsea's 4-1 comeback win as he produced the assists for the first two goals. But after the match he was his typical self during an interview on the pitch, leaving a reporter desperate for longer answers to his questions. Unfortunately for the beIN SPORTS interviewer, Scott was not much better either - he described his own answers as "short and sweet". Scott was asked his thoughts on Palmer's performance after he was named man of the match. He replied saying: "Yeah he did well. Turned the match, got us the win." Palmer then joked it was his dad's fault he always gave short answers in interviews, with Scott adding: "Short and sweet." Fans found the interaction amusing as they realised the apple does not fall far from the tree in the Palmer family. One supporter reacted saying: "Like father like son 😀" Another added: "One answer family." And a third wrote: "Now I see it, is definitely the father's fault" Palmer caught the eye in another post-match interview as he found an unusual way to hold his MOTM award.

‘Is this your first time?' – moment David Moyes has cheeky dig at TV presenter live on air
The interviewer is well-known in the football world GAFFER'S GAG 'Is this your first time?' – moment David Moyes has cheeky dig at TV presenter live on air Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EVERTON manager David Moyes was seen having a sly joke at the expense of a broadcasting legend in his post-match interview this weekend. The Scottish gaffer led his side to a 2-0 win over Southampton in what was the Toffees' men's team's last game at Goodison Park, their home of 133 years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Everton boss David Moyes won 2-0 at home to Southampton yesterday Credit: PA 3 He launched a dig at broadcaster Richard Keys after the match Credit: X / beIN Sports They're moving to a brand new near-53k capacity ground at Bramley-Moore Dock which was recently confirmed to be named the Hill Dickinson Stadium. After the emotional game ended, the boss was met by long-serving presenter Richard Keys, who was draped in an Everton scarf. The 68-year-old was working for beIN Sports and has been part of countless broadcasting setups in his time, but his turn here as the man in the tunnel wasn't the smoothest. He began the interview: "David, how was that?" Moyes responded: "[It was good] because I was concerned if we'd have shut the back door today and hadn't won it we'd have felt terrible. "Not our best but nevertheless we got the three points." Keys interjected while he was still finishing his sentence: "I didn't mean the game I meant everything that surrounded the match. "At what stage did you realise there was a football game being played here today?" Moyes said: "It was probably only the last five minutes where I thought 'my goodness, I've just got to hope we get this done here'. "But I have to say the noise inside the stadium and, you were witness to it, outside the stadium was unbelievable. 'Normally a bottle of red wine down' - Moyes unhappy at unusual kick-off time "It cries out as a club which is desperate for good times and things to celebrate. "If you look at the disappointments they've had over recent years this now looks like something everyone's looking forward to, a change of stadium. "If I'd turned up for today's game I'd have thought this was for us winning the championship or us being in a cup final, it was amazing. "We have to try and put us on the map in some way, I'll try. "Let's be fair, we've had to try and pull the whole club up by the boot laces. Other people before me as well, other good managers. 3 They've waved goodbye to Goodison Park "We've now got ourselves really in a good position, finished the season really strongly, so I'm hoping we can take the same atmosphere we had today down to the new stadium. "But we'll need to perform the way we have done over the last few weeks." Keys again jumped the gun with his response: "David, thank you, enjoy it and many congratulations, good to see you." Moyes joked: "Good to see you... is this your first time?" Keys laughed: "It might be the last!" The ex-Manchester United boss looks ahead to another season in the Premiership as Everton can't finish lower than 14th. Moyes will end the season above his both of his ex-clubs - United and West Ham, as the Red Devils and Europa League final opponents Spurs are destined to finish just above the relegation zone.

Trio of glorious farewells welcome respite from Gary Lineker's excruciating goodbye
A weekend of farewells and retirement parties – for Danny Care, Jamie Vardy and Goodison Park. It is too soon to say if Gary Lineker will get a lovingly engraved carriage clock or an unceremonious ejection at the hands of a burly BBC security guard, but it was nice to have almost one full day without the former Queen Mum of Football monopolising the sports news headlines. If that wretched row has encapsulated so much that is depressing about modern media and sport, a very welcome antidote arrived on Sunday as TNT Sports covered the stirring and often moving final act at Everton's stadium. Southampton were the perfect guests, the sun was out, and the stars also: Martin Tyler, Andy Gray and Richard Keys reunited on the Goodison pitch, and an opportunity for Keys to try his hand as a post-match interviewer for current employer BeIN Sports. David Moyes, his subject, joked: 'Is this your first time doing this?' "English football will have lost a little piece of its soul." The last ever men's match at Goodison Park today. Richard Keys & Andy Gray are there to witness history. #EVESOUT #EndOfAnEra #Goodison — beIN SPORTS (@beINSPORTS_EN) May 18, 2025 There were legends everywhere you looked, and fair play to the TNT broadcast team for taking a deep breath and leaning into the happy chaos inevitably wreaked by a gaggle of men in late middle age let loose for a weekend without their handlers. Peter Reid, in shades, had started early. 'I've had a few shandies,' confirmed The Blue Monkey, to the surprise of nobody. 'Apologies for the sunglasses, but I was on the lash last night,' he expanded, and said sorry in advance if he swore. Another Everton great who knows the importance of keeping your fluid intake up on a sunny day, Duncan Ferguson, turned the air fittingly blue, as did the crowd as they accompanied Ellis Murphy, an Evertonian singer-songwriter, for a naughty-bits-included rendition of It's A Grand Old Team To Play For that had some choice words for Liverpool FC. "UP THE TOFFEES!!" 🔵 Duncan Ferguson and Wayne Rooney say their goodbyes to Goodison Park 👋 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) May 18, 2025 Ally McCoist, on co-commentary, rightly made the point about the links between his own Rangers FC and the Goodison club: Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven, Richard Gough, Duncan Disorderly and Gray as aforementioned, Gazza of course, and Walter Smith to name but a few. There could be no better companion for this sort of affair, McCoist's boundless enthusiasm and jocularity to the fore as he and Darren Fletcher grabbed quick words with the great and the good. What a superb assemblage of thirsty Scotsmen it all sounded. Thoughts and prayers are with the bar staff of Merseyside, some shift they will have put in this weekend. 🎶 D̶a̶d̶d̶y̶ ̶C̶o̶o̶l̶ Danny Care rings round Twickenham Stoop, but a spelling error needs some correction in the crowd 😅 Watch live on TNT Sports & Discovery+ — Rugby on TNT Sports (@rugbyontnt) May 18, 2025 A couple of hundred miles or so south, another send-off was soon under way as Harlequins said goodbye to their greatest player, Danny Care. This was altogether a more family occasion, and not because the scrum-half brought his kids out onto the pitch both before and after the match in the modern way. For a while, it looked like Exeter Chiefs might spoil the party, but Care came on and his side did just about enough to ensure that he signed off with a win. Nick Mullins, as he always does, hit the spot with his commentary: 'It's more than the tries he has scored, it is what he has brought to the game on and off the pitch,' he said. Some hardcore fans in the crowd were so into it that they got their placard order wrong. All hail, 'Danny Crae'. It is testament to the esteem in which second-half replacement 'Mr Crae' is held that the man who started in his position, Will Porter, wore number 21 on his back, a highly unusual dispensation that allowed Care to wear the nine. Leicester City fans organized an incredible send-off for Jamie Vardy in his final match at the King Power Stadium. 👏🦊 — NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) May 18, 2025 Another modern-day club great associated with that number, Jamie Vardy, also bade farewell this afternoon but sadly there did not appear to be any live TV coverage of his 200th goal in his 500th Leicester City game. Care says in his book that he was a Sheffield Wednesday kid in the same cohort as Vardy, but he got cut because he was too small. Both of them have had magnificent careers in any event, although you suspect that the Vardy party on Sunday would have been the livelier affair. It was a pleasure to spend a Sunday with these well-earned celebratory send-offs, some uncomplicated and joyful respite before another former Leicester City striker no doubt dominates the sporting news agenda for the next few days.
