Magic Müller

If you know a thing or two about soccer, you will have heard about the name Müller, whether it was German legend Gerd in the 1970s or the Thomas of today. The Müller of today has drawn comparisons to Gerd Müller and rightly so.

Countryman Gerd was known to be a real fox in the box as well.

Tottenham Shutout Crystal Palace with 1-0 win at WHL

In what will surely prove to be an important three points over the next few weeks, Tottenham rallied behind keeper Hugo Lloris and new man Son Heung-min to record their second successive Premier League shutout win on Sunday.

Would Rooney get the nod over Martial, or would Van Gaal drop Rooney in deeper in favor of Martial up front to keep both players on the field? How would the void left by Shaw be filled? Here is how the Red Devils lined up:

Tottenham Cruise to Victory in Opening of Europa League Campaign

A sluggish start against Qarabağ FK and an early conceded penalty were overcome Thursday evening in the opening round of the Europa League campaign, as Spurs move into first place in Group J after Anderlecht and Monaco arrived at a 1-1 draw.

The Azerbaijani outfit was surprisingly cunning in its attack, winning and converting an early penalty and providing headaches for a less than impressive Tottenham back line throughout the evening.
