AC Milan manager, Gennaro Gattuso says his mistake caused his side’s loss against Arsenal.

After four consecutive defeat, the Gunners bounced back and produced a spectacular display on Thursday night in the first leg of their last-16 Europa League match against Milan at the San Siro as they won 2-0.

Goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey gave Arsenal the deserved victory.

Gattuso, believes technical mistakes made the Rossoneri to lose the game against the North London club.

When asked whether his side were outdone by the Gunners’ change in formation, Gattuso told reporters after the game: “No, it was actually what I had expected.

“It was 4-2-3-1; the usual squad filled in the usual way Arsenal plays.

“For sure, we suffered for the fact that technically, we made mistakes that actually followed us through the field.

“We had some difficulties with what they were going through but it’s not because they played in an unexpected because they played as usual and they have very good quality.”

He added, “I probably also made some mistakes not making myself well understood but we did suffer.”

Shaku Shaku: The origin and enablers of the viral street dance

Olamide Olamide took the fourth edition of his annual OLIC concert to the mainland for the first time; it’s obvious that the rap superstar has outgrown Eko Hotel’s overused Convention Center. The timely relocation granted ‘home advantage,’ of sorts, not only to the King of the Streets but also to the underground acts he customarily gives a platform to, as they performed in their natural habitat. In 2017, one of those acts was DJ Real, who’d built a solid reputation for hosting mixtapes containing the biggest street anthems, and for his work on local radio. The diminutive DJ is not to be mistaken for Mr. Real, the artist behind the street anthem “Legbegbe” (featuring Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks), who also performed at OLIC 4 and has played a significant role in the spread of a new viral dance called “shaku shaku”. Shaku shaku is a dance that’s performed by crossing your arms in front of each other at the wrist, widenin...

Lionel Messi helped book Barcelona’s place in the Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea, with Antonio Conte seen in discussion with him after the game. The Argentine icon scored twice in a 3-0 win in the second leg at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night, adding to his strike at Stamford Bridge in the first leg as he was a crucial factor in the victory. Chelsea arguably played better football in the return fixture as they got themselves into plenty of threatening positions throughout the game, but couldn’t take their chances while also hitting the woodwork twice. In turn, with Barcelona not at their best, they had to rely on Messi to guide them forward, as he has done on countless occasions in the past. Much was made of the exchange between the Barcelona star and Chelsea boss Conte after the game, with BT Sport commenting on it too, as seen in the tweet below, while Gary Lineker joked in the studio that the Italian was ‘tapping him up’. ...

Dino Melaye, Senator representing Kogi West. [Photo Credit: Punch Newspapers] The Court of Appeal in Abuja has ruled that the recall process of Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West, be restarted. The senator had approached the appellate court in a bid to stop the process after an Abuja Federal High Court in September 2017 gave the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the go-ahead to begin Melaye’s recall process. In the latest judgement delivered on Friday, Justice Tunde Awotoye and two other judges ruled that there was no cause for action and the Federal High Court that adjudicated the case ought not to have entertained it in the first place. The Appeal Court held that Mr. Melaye’s claim was ‘hasty, premature and presumptuous,’ Vanguard reports. The court ordered INEC to continue with the planned verification of 188,588 who reportedly signed petition for the recall. Mr. Melaye is facing a recall by his constituents who in a petition...
