Unprecedented Solheim Cup: Key Takeaways From Europe’s Remarkable 14-14 Draw With USA At Finca Cortesin

In a nail-biting showdown at Finca Cortesin, Team Europe maintains their unbeaten streak, retaining the Solheim Cup with a historic 14-14 draw against Team USA.

Suzann Pettersen and Stacy Lewis will captain their respective teams again in the 2024 contest.

While watching Gleneagles' 2019 Solheim Cup drama was no small feat, this year's competition came remarkably close. Pettersen, the hero from four years ago, was entrusted with leading Team Europe to a potential third consecutive victory.

Despite a rocky start with Team USA's clean sweep in the Friday foursomes and their lead that afternoon, Pettersen's squad showed incredible resilience, levelling the playing field heading into the Sunday singles.

Although Europe faced adversity as Stacy Lewis' American team pulled ahead 13-11 with only four matches remaining, Caroline Hedwall, Maja Stark, and local favourite Carlota Ciganda rallied to secure a historic 14-14 draw, marking a first in the tournament's history.

September 25, 2023 James Maddison Playfully Teases Bukayo Saka’s Darts Celebration During First Goal

James Maddison Playfully Teases Bukayo Saka’s Darts Celebration During First Goal

During Sunday's North London derby, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka cheekily emulated James Maddison's darts celebration, adding a touch of humour to the match, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

Maddison, who assisted Spurs' first equaliser, joked, "He must have still been doing the celeb when I turned him for the first goal!"

Reflecting on Saka mimicking his celebration, Maddison shared, "Me and Bukayo had a bit of banter and trash-talking on international duty. And I got told he did the darts celebration - he must have still been doing it when I turned him for the first goal, so I'll have a little word with him in there!"

When questioned after the game, Maddison continued to jest about Saka, saying, "A quick 501 at Ally Pally against Bukayo Saka, do you reckon?"

The 26-year-old also had a pivotal role in the game, helping to nullify Saka's second-half penalty, which momentarily put Arsenal ahead in the 56th minute. Just 90 seconds later, Maddison swiftly took possession from Jorginho, setting up Son for his second goal of the game, ensuring Tottenham's undefeated streak in the Premier League under new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Maddison will look forward to showcasing his darts celebration in Tottenham's upcoming clash against unbeaten Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday, set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports at 5.30 pm.

On the other hand, Arsenal will face Brentford in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday at 7.45 pm before returning to Premier League action against Bournemouth on Saturday at 3 pm under the guidance of Mikel Arteta.

Ten Hag: Man Utd Determined To Reverse Season’s Fortunes

Erik ten Hag addressed Manchester United's difficult start to the season, emphasising the collective effort to turn things around.

The team has faced a rocky beginning, losing four of their first six matches across all competitions. As they prepare to face Burnley, currently in 13th place in the Premier League, Ten Hag acknowledged the challenges, stating, "It’s my second year... you will have your gaps, and you get stronger from it as long as you stay together, and that’s what we’re doing."

While reports of unrest in the dressing room have surfaced and player attitudes have been scrutinized, Ten Hag remained positive, saying, "I know my players. Everyone can make suggestions; we are OK with it."

The upcoming battle against Burnley carries significant pressure for United, who will again be without Jadon Sancho due to an ongoing disagreement with the manager.

Ten Hag stated, "It depends on him," regarding Sancho's future with the club while reaffirming the team's focus on the Burnley fixture.
