EUROPEAN NIGHTMARE CONTINUES: FEYENOORD BEATEN 2-0 BY STUTTGART
Feyenoord's European struggles continue with a 2-0 defeat to VFB Stuttgart. It's their third loss in four UEFA Europa League games, leaving them 29th in the standings despite leading the Eredivisie.

On Thursday night, Feyenoord lost to VFB Stuttgart of Germany on the road in the UEFA Europa League. The 2-0 defeat was the third in four European games for Robin van Persie's team.
Feyenoord struggled to produce many noteworthy chances in the cagey encounter, a problem the Rotterdammers have faced in most of their European games this season. The game saw 48 fouls in total, the most in a European club match since 2018.
With Hwang In-Beom, Sem Steijn, Oussama Targhalline, and Jakub Moder out, Van Persie's team had to improvise. Van Persie decided to start Gonzalo Borges on the left wing and place Cyle Larin in the attacking midfield position.
Early on in the game, Feyenoord had its best opportunity. Luciano Valente's brilliant ball put captain Anis Hadj Moussa in a one-on-one situation, which is exactly what he loves to do. The shot was aimed directly at Alexander Nubel, but the Algerian managed to get it off.
In the MHP Arena, the host team was likewise having trouble creating opportunities. Chema Andres gave them their first opportunity in the 69th minute when he played in Deniz Undav, but Timon Wellenreuther saved the German international's attempt. Jamie Leweling also headed wide the resulting cross.
Up until the 84th minute, this was the home team's best opportunity. Bilal El Khannous headed the ball in via the underside of the bar after Lorenz Assignon's cross was perfectly inviting after he received it on the flank.
Feyenoord was clearly going to lose again after this point, as Van Persie's team failed to produce anything noteworthy in the dying minutes, but the home team secured the victory in injury time.
After launching a brilliant counterattack, Chris Fuhrich played a pass across the box to Undav, who had already continued his run, allowing the 29-year-old to tap home to make it 2-0.
Although the Rotterdammers are now leading the Eredivisie, their performance in Europe is completely different. In the 36-team league, they are presently ranked 29th; a playoff berth is earned by finishing between 12th and 24th.
The next game for Van Persie's team is against Celtic at home. In the competition, Celtic has lost the last two games and won one and drawn one.
£800K GONE: PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER YVES BISSOUMA TARGETED IN VIP BANK HEIST
Tottenham star Yves Bissouma allegedly had over £800,000 stolen from his Coutts bank account in a fraud case. A man has been charged with two counts of fraud by false representation, with a court hearing set.

According to reports, football player Yves Bissouma had almost £800,000 "taken" from his VIP bank account in an alleged fraud. The 29-year-old Tottenham midfielder has a bank account with Coutts, a prominent private bank for the ultra-wealthy that is frequented by celebrities, billionaires, and royalty.
The Sun alleged Thursday night that the £30 million Premier League star reportedly lost the money between September 2022 and June 2024. A report from the player more than a year ago led to the original arrest of 31-year-old Maurice Gomes.
Gomes was charged with two charges of fraud by false representation in October, according to the Metropolitan police. Ten years is the maximum penalty for each offence. In both instances, Bissouma is the purported victim.
Gomes is accused of "dishonestly" transferring Bissouma's money to himself without the Mali international's "knowledge or consent," according to court documents.
Gomes was allegedly responsible for £834,334.40 in allegedly illegal bank transfers "to generate a personal benefit," according to the prosecution. It is unclear how Gomes might have accessed Bissouma's account, and his connection to the Spurs player, who is rumoured to be earning £50,000 per week, is unknown.
The defendant, who apparently lives in a £1.4million, six-bedroom property in Enfield, North London, is set to appear at Highbury Corner magistrates’ court on Friday.
If it goes to trial, Mali international Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton in 2022, would probably have to testify.
According to a source, Yves has been extremely hurt by this. He has had a difficult season both on and off the field, and this cloud over his head will have added to that.
In June, Bissouma's £255,000 watch was brutally taken in Cannes. The star was hurt seconds after coming off the bench for Mali last month, and he has made 100 appearances for Tottenham but has been sidelined since August.
According to reports, Coutts refused to comment on the Sun's first article. Established in 1692, the wealth management company is the eighth-oldest bank globally.
King Charles and every member of the royal family since George IV are among its well-known clients. The musician Stormzy, Emma Watson from Harry Potter, and a number of Premier League football players are also current clients.
Some of the most well-known and significant figures in history have also used it, including the Beatles, Charles Dickens, Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Byron, and Frédéric Chopin.
EUROPA LEAGUE THRILLER: ASTON VILLA GRIND OUT VICTORY IN TEL AVIV TEST
Aston Villa secure a functional 2-0 Europa League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. Goals from Ian Maatsen & Donyell Malen's penalty seal a vital three points, placing Villa in the top eight amid a politically charged fixture.

When Maccabi Tel Aviv arrived for a politically charged encounter, it was never going to be a simple evening in Birmingham. The government was wading incompetently and naively into the match, seemingly thinking that this was the first and only time away fans had been prohibited from attending a football game.
On the field, this was the kind of game you are going to get in any good run at Europe's second competition, and there was little Aston Villa could do about it other than play their part. Not very attractive, nearly completely unmemorable, but with a really satisfying outcome and enough truly positive moments to make you feel better about prospects at the end of the game than when you started.
There are many of those advantages here. Before a hectic time, Youri Tielemans's comeback from injury off the substitutes' bench with a fun and striking cameo was at the top of that list. There is never anything bad about keeping a clean sheet, and although Emi Martinez had to get his hands filthy a few times, he showed no signs of letting his most recent Yet Another Rare Mistake against Liverpool weaken his unbreakable confidence.
Following a clumsy and halting first-half Villa performance, Ian Maatsen's goal was a definite highlight. It was a beautiful, crisp, and, given what had transpired, unusual move, culminating in a physics-bending strike off the crossbar from an apparently impossible angle.
A noteworthy event was even the second goal, which came from a lightly granted penalty when Ezri Konsa stumbled as much as his opponent. It was Villa's first goal of the season, their third penalty of the year, and their third different taker. Donyell Malen found the bottom corner with little fuss, doing what Ollie Watkins and Emi Buendia had failed to do with something like aplomb.
Although Maccabi will be disappointed by the missed opportunities at 0-0 and 1-0, Villa never seemed to give up control once they took it, finishing the game easily and even managing to save some energy for the more difficult tasks that were ahead. Once more, it may not be particularly noteworthy, but there is a lot to be said for surviving these Thursday evenings in this manner during this season.
Overall, this felt very much like a more experienced European team than Villa is doing the job, but they could have welcomed a goal for Ollie Watkins to check off another box if they were feeling avaricious.
Naturally, having Europa League master Unai Emery on the bench helps to offset Villa's potential lack of European experience. After a difficult start to the season, he has Villa well-positioned both domestically and internationally, and no manager knows how to manoeuvre his way through this tournament better than him.
It should come as neither surprise nor coincidence that Villa's season took a turn for the worse at the beginning of the Europa League campaign.
Villa is unavoidably under pressure in this tournament. The fact that two objectively less talented English sides made it to the final last year just serves to highlight how clearly fantastic this is as a chance to end a ridiculous trophy drought.
Villa's third straight victory in this competition puts them in the crucial top eight, where Spurs and Manchester United were able to position themselves to minimise workloads previous season.
Villa may not have the luxury of eliminating those two teams from the Premier League by February like those two did last year, but the league table's halfway point, which now only has Midtjylland, Freiburg, Ferencvaros, Celta Vigo, and Braga above Villa, shows how likely this is.
