Anthony Gordon s second-half penalty saw Newcastle United come from behind to frustrate Premier League leaders Manchester City in a 1-1 draw at St James Park.
Gordon, who has been at the centre of media speculation over his future this week, levelled the scores from 12 yards in the 58th minute, converting a spot-kick that he won after being tripped by Ederson.
Josko Gvardiol had nosed City ahead with a neat close-range finish in the 35th minute on Saturday.
Both sides saw chances go begging as they pushed for a winner, with Erling Haaland heading at Nick Pope late on as the Norway international fired a blank for the first time in the league this season.
Pep Guardiola s side sit top of the standings on 14 points, though they could be overtaken by Liverpool…
The Football Association (FA) condemned the racist abuse directed at several England players after the Euro 2020 final loss to Italy on Sunday.
Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who missed penalties in the 3-2 shoot-out loss, were targeted on social media in the wake of the defeat at Wembley.
The FA slammed the abuse and called for action to be taken by government and social media companies.
The FA strongly condemns all forms of discrimination and is appalled by the online racism that has been aimed at some of our England players on social media, a statement read.
We could not be clearer that anyone behind such disgusting behaviour is not welcome in following the team. We will do all we can to support the players affected while urging the t…
Arguably England s best player in their last three knockout fixtures at Euro 2020, Luke Shaw reportedly struggled through games against Ukraine, Denmark and Italy with broken ribs.
The left-back was part of Gareth Southgate s side that suffered shoot-out heartbreak against Italy in the final, but it has become apparent that Shaw was playing through the pain for his country, after suffering a blow to his ribs against Germany in the last 16.
According to the Telegraph, Manchester United will now wait to assess the left-back, whose sole goal at the European Championship represented the fastest to be scored in a final since 1964, ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
The former Southampton academy product was in scintillating form throughout Euro 2020 as he recorded three a…
In-demand Pep Guardiola will become the new boss of German giants Bayern Munich in the summer
Last night saw action in both the FA Cup and Premier League. Arsenal defeated Swansea 1-0 in their third round replay and Manchester United beat West Ham 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Arsenal dominated possession against Swansea, but found it difficult to break down their resilient defence.
The Gunners had 26 shots on goal and the visitors had fortune on their side at times. However the Gunners did make a breakthrough on 86 minutes.
Striker Oliver Giroud laid the ball off to midfielder Jack Wilshere on the edge of the penalty box and the England international fired home a powerful effort past Michel Vorm in the Swansea goal.
Wilshere was the outstanding player fo…
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson must be wondering if he will be taking on the Las Vegas Raiders all by himself the way his teammates seem to be dropping like flies around him.
Even with all the injuries, the Ravens are dealing with, they’re still 4-point road favorites going against a Raiders team that needs to start showing some progress in Year 4 with Jon Gruden back at the helm. Do the Raiders have value as a home underdog?

AFC West hostilities will be renewed at SoFi Stadium on Monday Night Football as the Denver Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers.
Denver has struggled so far in 2022, getting out of the gate at 2-3. L.A. is a bit better off at 3-2, but it needs a win here to avoid falling into a tie for second in the division.
The outcome of the quarterback battle between the Broncos’ Russell Wilson and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert will likely go a long way in determining the winner of this tilt. Let’s zero in on the latter, and discuss our three favorite prop picks involving Herbert this Monday night.

The 0-4 Chicago Bears will have their work cut out for them tonight when they try to notch their first victory of the season against the 2-2 Washington Commanders. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong this year for the Bears, who have looked thoroughly lost on offense and are giving up the second most points per game in the league.
Adding injury to insult, Jaylon Johnson and Eddie Jackson didn’t participate in practices earlier this week, leaving Chicago’s precariously thin secondary even more vulnerable than usual. Can the Bears break out of their slump this evening on Thursday Night Football, or will their nearly year-long losing streak continue?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to w…
Two polarizing teams will meet in Arrowhead on Sunday as the Buffalo Bills visit the Kansas City Chiefs who sit as slight -1.5 home favorites in the NFL odds.
With a tough passing matchup and the weather also being a factor, is there some value in fading some tertiary pass-catchers on the Bills? These guys could be afterthoughts in Buffalo’s offensive plans coming out of the bye, especially with a possible Dawson Knox return.

While it isn’t quite regular season football, it feels amazing to have our favorite sport back when the Lions take on the Giants on Thursday.
The Lions reached the Conference Championships last season, while the Giants had a terrible 6-11 season. However, this is a fresh year and both teams are looking to the future.

My best betGiants -3.5 (-105 at BetMGM)
My analysisYou never really know what to expect to in preseason and the Detroit Lions trip to MetLife to face the New York Giants is even trickier to call than usual. Ordinarily, we’d look at how both coaches have treated preseason previously but neither Dan Camp…
Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Jude Bellingham was “not at his best” in the first leg of Real Madrid’s Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, but backed him to come good in the return game at the Bernabéu next week.
Ancelotti revealed that Bellingham was suffering from cramp and fatigue during the game, a problem that has often afflicted him in the past, and one that led to his substitution here after 75 minutes.

“Bellingham was just tired,” Ancelotti said. “He couldn’t continue any more. I have enough good players on the bench. He will get back to his best performance. I think he was injured, which affe…
