Bad to worse for Rangers and Rohl! Awful marking from a set piece as Jacob Sorensen bundles the ball into the net, doubling Brann's lead! This is woeful stuff from the Scottish side. Appointed only on Monday, this is Danny Rohl's first game in charge of Rangers, who are 1-0 down at half-time to Norwegian side Brann. Emil Kornvig scored a tap-in at teh back post after a deflected cross.

Aston Villa are interested in signing the Getafe midfielder Luis Milla in the coming months. The 31-year-old experienced midfielder is valued at 30 million, and Aston Villa are prepared to offer 25 million in order to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether the La Liga outfit is prepared to accept the offer if it is presented. As per Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are interested in the Spanish midfielder as well.

Aston Villa may reportedly have issues with PSR moving forward as the Premier League is expected to move closer to UEFA's Financial Fair Play laws. Football finance expert Adam Williams has discussed this potential issue for Villa, explaining that they're currently losing as much as 140m a year. It remains to be seen precisely what this will mean for Villa if the rules change, but Williams has given some idea as to what the club can expect in their current financial situation.

Aston Villa's slow start to the season has seen them record just two wins from their opening seven Premier League games, and has inevitably shone the spotlight on the club's summer transfer dealings. Unai Emery's side made eight permanent signings this summer, including 26 million striker Evann Guessand from Nice, while also adding loan pair Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho. Villa also used the loan market back in the January transfer window, when they landed Marcus Rashford, Axel Disasi and Marco Asensio for the second half of the 2024/25 campaign, but were unable to bring any of that trio back to the West Midlands in the summer.

Liverpool's nightmare start under Gareth Taylor in the Women's Super League continued after they lost 1-0 at newly promoted London City Lionesses. Ex- Manchester City boss Taylor had tasted defeat in his opening three league fixtures as the Reds' head coach, but looked on course for a point until Liverpool-born Nikita Parris won a spot-kick after being brought down by goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe.
