NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Anthony Gordon scored for the fourth straight home game for Newcastle to earn a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the English Premier League on Saturday.The winger tapped in from close range from Kieran Trippier’s cross in the 55th minute for the only goal of a game Newcastle dominated at St. James’ Park.It ended a run of three victories in a row without conceding for Man United, which was overtaken by Newcastle and dropped to seventh place.Already hit hard by a long list of absentees that is into double figures, Newcastle saw goalkeeper Nick Pope helped off in the 86th with a suspected dislocated left shoulder sustained when he dived to stop a ball that was blocked in front of him.“It’s looks bad,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said. “He’s done it before and had it operated on and come back successfully. But I don’t know what the future holds for him, I don’t know if he will need an operation or not.”Pope’s replacement, Martin Dubravka, let in a goal ...Newcastle defies long injury list to earn dominant win over Man United.

Ravaged by injuries and hurting from a cruel VAR call in midweek, Newcastle was hardly in ideal shape as the same 11 players were sent out by manager Eddie Howe for a third straight game for the English Premier League meeting with Manchester United on Saturday.You’d never have known.Newcastle’s dominant 1-0 win at St. James’ Park was testament to the unwavering spirit in a squad being stretched to the limit as the Saudi-owned club challenges for trophies on all fronts.At the same time, it was a reality check for Man United after its recent revival in the league marked by narrow, scrappy wins and sensational goals.Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute goal proved to be enough for Newcastle, which — in the space of a week — has beaten Chelsea and Man United either side of being denied a famous Champions League win at Paris Saint-Germain because of a roundly condemned handball decision.“It’s been a massive week for us,” Gordon said. “The same 11 players have played three games on the bounce and...Rodman’s goal caps 3-0 victory for the US women over China

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Trinity Rodman had a goal and two assists to help the United States beat China 3-0 in an exhibition match on Saturday. Sophia Smith and Lindsey Horan also scored in the first of two exhibition games against China. The second is set for Tuesday in Frisco, Texas, outside of Dallas. The matches close a difficult year for the United States after the four-time champions were eliminated from the Women’s World Cup this summer in the round of 16, the team’s earliest exit ever. Smith scored in the eighth minute, beating China goalkeeper Xu Huan off a pass from Rodman. It was Smith’s 15th goal in 37 national team appearances. Horan made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute, striking the ball from distance before it bounced past Xu. It was her 30th goal. Rodman capped the scoring in the 77th with an assist from Jaedyn Shaw. Rodman celebrated with a cheeky dance in front of the goal. “She’s just being really intentional, we see that in training, we see ...Fuertes nevadas castigan el noroeste de Estados Unidos

(CNN) — A person was in critical condition Friday after setting themselves on fire outside the Israeli consulate in what Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said was “likely an extreme act of political protest.”The incident happened around noon outside the Consulate General of Israel, according to police. Schierbaum said investigators didn’t believe the incident had “any nexus to terrorism.”A security guard at the midtown Atlanta building saw the protester outside around noon and tried to stop them from setting themselves on fire, police and fire officials told reporters at a news conference. The security guard sustained burns on their leg and wrist.A Palestinian flag that was part of the protest was recovered at the scene, and gasoline was used as an accelerant, the officials said.The chief said staff inside the Israeli consulate were safe and did not appear to be in danger during the incident. The incident was contained to outside the building, and the chief said he wa...Soggy Sunday weather

Boston College chased the game into overtime only to fall 84-78 to North Carolina State in the ACC opener for both squads Saturday at Conte Forum.BC dropped to 5-3 and will resume non-league play at home against Central Connecticut on Tuesday night while the Wolfpack improved to 5-2. BC is 9-10 in ACC openers since joining the conference in the 2005-06 season.“They threw an ACC game in the middle of the non-conferences so there was a lot of emotion in that,” said BC coach Earl Grant. “We have to learn from this and get ready for the next game.”The NC State backcourt tandem of DJ Home and Jayden Taylor combined for 39 points and 12 boards while massive graduate forward D.J. Burns netted 17. Jaeden Zackery paced BC with 20 points while center Quinten Post netted 18 with seven boards.The game was a statistical draw in nearly every category except free throws. NC State was 18-of-21 from the line while BC was 14-of-26 with the misses coming at the wrong times.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Saturday attempted to turn the tables on his likely rival in November, President Joe Biden, arguing that the man whose election victory Trump tried to overturn is “the destroyer of American democracy.”Trump’s allegations about Biden, a Democrat, echo the ones that Biden has been making for years against his predecessor. As Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary and talked about targeting his rivals and the news media if he wins the White House again, Biden has stepped up his own warnings, contending Trump is “ determined to destroy American democracy.”On Saturday, Trump made his most explicit argument to date on why voters should instead see his rival as the bigger democratic threat. Trump repeated his longstanding contention that the four criminal indictments against him show Biden is misusing the federal justice system against his rival.“He’s been weaponizing government against his political opponent...No. 8 Alabama knocks off No. 1 Georgia 27-24 for SEC title; both teams await postseason fate

ATLANTA (AP) — Alabama is again the top dog in the Southeastern Conference — and perhaps headed to the College Football Playoff — after ending Georgia’s 29-game winning streak with a 27-24 victory over the No. 1 Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.Now, the big question: Is Georgia’s bid for a third straight national title over? Iron Bowl hero Jalen Milroe threw a pair of touchdown passes and No. 8 Alabama’s defense dominated much of the way after giving up a score on Georgia’s opening possession — a compelling playoff statement for a Crimson Tide team that lost at home to Texas early in the season.Alabama (12-1) sorted out its quarterback situation and hasn’t lost since. The victory over Georgia was the Tide’s 11th in a row and may be good enough to push them from No. 8 in the CFP rankings to a prized berth in the final four.Georgia (12-1) will have to hope its dominance over the last two seasons persuades the selection committe...Florida’s Republican chair has denied a woman’s rape allegation in a case roiling state politics

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The head of the Florida Republican Party, whose wife is a founder of one of the nation’s most prominent conservative groups, has been accused of rape, leading Gov. Ron DeSantis to call for his resignation, roiling the state’s conservative politics and creating accusations of hypocrisy from Democrats and LBGTQ+ activists.Police search warrant affidavits obtained by Florida news organizations show that a woman who had been friends with Christian Ziegler for 20 years has accused him of raping her in her apartment two months ago. Ziegler, a longtime party activist who took over the state Republican Party in February, denied the allegations in an interview with police, saying the sex was consensual.No criminal charges have been filed against Ziegler, 40, but the Sarasota Police investigation remains open. The accuser’s name has not been released, and The Associated Press doesn’t identify the possible victims of sexual assault without their permiss...Latest news
