City cruised to a straightforward 2-0 win over Stoke City on Monday, with David Silva scoring both goals at the bet365 Stadium. The result edges them closer to their seemingly inevitable Premier League title triumph and restores their 16-point lead over United. City are not in league action again until March 31 when they face Everton and then they host their local rivals on April 7, a match in which they could clinch the title....

In an interview with Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Bally Sports, Perkins boldly declared that the four-time MVP has been dethroned from his pedestal by his Brooklyn Nets counterpart. Perkins is a former teammate of LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers), and he had always backed the four-time MVP in the “best player in the NBA” and G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All-Time) arguments. This time, however, he is supporting his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate as the game’s best player....

Keane has flourished since leaving Manchester United for Burnley in 2015, and now Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are reportedly eyeing the defender. Keane: England debut a dream come true The 24-year-old Englishman - who was sold by former United manager Louis van Gaal - has also been linked with a return to Old Trafford. “It’s flattering to see, but I’m focused on Burnley,” Keane said. “We’ve got nine games left in the season and we need to make sure we remain in the league....

WATCH: Ozil loses it with Alexis and Monreal The 19-year-old international moved to the Etihad Stadium from Palmeiras last month and has already found the net for his new side. It has been a dream start – one that has gone better than he could have hoped. “I have to say it’s going much better than I expected,” he said. “When I spoke to some players that had already played in the Premier League, they said it was going to be very difficult but I put in my head that by working hard, you can achieve your goals....

Lamo’s unauthorized entry into the Times’ site last month-where he also accessed sensitive employee payroll accounts and subscriber information-was not his first such escapade. During the past year, he has altered a news story on the Yahoo! site and made illegal entries into the AOL, Microsoft and WorldCom networks. Each time, he followed up by contacting the breached sites, informing authorities of security lapses, and sometimes even helping to plug the holes (without pay)....

Local gossip columnist Leo Dias sent the world abuzz on Thursday when he claimed the ex-Barcelona star would hold the unorthodox three-way nuptials in August. Ronaldinho has maintained an open relationship with Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza for several years, and was reportedly set to exploit a loophole in Brazilian law that allows multiple individuals to be joined together in a civil union. Dias held that it would be an intimate ceremony in the player’s Rio mansion open only to family, although Ronaldinho’s sister was supposedly opposed to the union and would not be in attendance....

But while speaking to the press following his victory, the Italian made light of his achievement and pointed out that he still has a long way to go in his career. Sinner further stressed on the need to keep working on his game, and claimed that neither he nor his team is taking anything for granted. “Just try to improve everyday with the right mentality” - Jannik Sinner on his quick rise Jannik Sinner will take on World No....

Apparently, he loves working with the team so far and is excited to make the Lakers a winning team. Other than his excitement, Patrick Beverley is thrilled to be able to work with some of the best in the league. Obviously pertaining to LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and probably Russell Westbrook. The Lakers have been running scrimmages during practice and Beverley is pumped about his team crushing AD’s. Without a doubt, Pat Bev is showing signs of being locked in as early as training camp....

Down, but not out, this Celtics team has been a team of resilience all season, something All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum was quick to make mention of during his postgame press conference. “We’ve been in this situation before,” Tatum said as he assessed the situation. “It’s not over.” While Monday’s loss in Game 5 marked the first instance in which the Celtics have lost consecutive games during this postseason, the 3-2 series deficit is not the first deficit they’ve faced this postseason....

Sky Sports have also claimed that they have reached an agreement with the Portuguese side and will reportedly be paying a fee of £85m. Former Arsenal striker Campbell was questioned on the Highbury Squad YouTube Channel on the Gunners’ lack of ambition with the club not attempting to sign Liverpool-bound Nunez. However, Campbell quickly dismissed this by saying that it is unrealistic to replicate the Reds’ transfer policy because Mikel Arteta’s side needs a major and a bigger rebuild....

The 27-year-old is widely recognised as one of the foremost players in his position in the world, but gave the thumbs down to the ball following Spain’s 1-1 draw with Germany on Friday. De Gea conceded a thumping shot from Thomas Muller early in the second half and, while he is not crediting the new ball with that, he does believe it behaves in a strange manner. “It’s really strange,” he said....

With great struggle, comes great frustration. At least this is what the White Sox fanbase in general are feeling as they call for the resignation of manager Tony La Russa. Tensions are high in the dugout, and it was evident in the game earlier against the Detroit Tigers. Ace Lance Lynn, who just got off the shelf due to a meniscus tear, had a verbal altercation with third base coach Joe McEwing....

On the back of their 2-0 loss to Zlatko Dalic’s side in their opening match, Rohr came under criticism for his insistence to see out the entire match without notable tweaks witnessed in pre-World Cup friendlies, notably in England and Argentina ties. But the German tactician, not sold on revealing his plans for their next clash in Volgograd, insists his side’s only failing in Saturday’s game was conceding ‘stupid goals’....

Mavi was handed his T20I debut in the first game of the series in Mumbai on Tuesday, January 3, after Arshdeep failed to fully recover from his illness. The right-arm seamer returned figures of 4/22 in his four overs to help the Men in Blue register a two-run win while defending a 163-run target. During a discussion on Star Sports, Pathan was asked about India’s selection dilemma if Arshdeep is fit and available for the second T20I, to which he responded:...

Le Selecao will begin their campaign against Serbia on Thursday (November 24) in the group stage of the tournament. They will then face Switzerland on November 28 and Cameroon four days later. Brazil will hope to win their sixth FIFA World Cup title, and a lot of responsibility will hinge on their talisman Neymar. The Paris Saint-Germain forward has been a key figure in Le Selecao’s dominant performances in recent games....

The 22-year-old is on loan at the Bundesliga side from Liverpool and has already scored four goals in 11 appearances in all competitions. Wolfsburg 2/1 to score O2.5 goals v Freiburg The Belgium international has become a first-team regular with the Bundesliga club, and Rebbe, who previously hailed Origi as an “extraordinary forward”, insists they have a responsibility to try to sign him. “It would be negligent of us not to try,” Rebbe told Kicker....

The problem is, as Maddon sees it and as many others would agree, for whatever positive intentions there might have been at the founding of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the bad outweighs the good. Social media can seem more often like a source of narcissism and negativity than anything else, and for public-facing figures like baseball managers and players that creates a strain. “It could be utilized so wonderfully in the right settings, but it gets exploited like anything else does,” Maddon said....

The Serb is partnering long-time friend Carlos Gomez-Herrera, whom he first met in Spain almost a decade ago. Ahead of their first-round encounter against Bosnia’s Tomislav Brkic and Serbia’s Nikola Cacic, Gomez-Herrera opened up on what it felt like to get the call from the World No. 1. The pair competed in doubles together at the ATP 500 event in Dubai in 2014. Djokovic and Gomez-Herrera ended up losing their first match to Tomasz Bednarek and Lukas Dlouhy in a third-set tiebreaker....

Harold Reynolds, a former MLB player himself, asked Jeter, who won the Roberto Clemente Award in 2009, what the honor has meant to him. Derek Jeter responded: Next, Martinez put forward a question: Derek replied: Speaking about retiring Roberto Clemente’s jersey, Jeter said: Undeniably, Derek Jeter is always spot on with his responses.

Despite the restrictive rating, the film grossed about $2.5 million in U.S. ticket sales (and about $12.4 million worldwide). Still, Fox Home Entertainment has opted to offer two different DVDs for viewers: the uncut NC-17 version and a toned-down R-rated cut. Bertolucci, now 64, is no stranger to censors. His “Last Tango in Paris,” which starred Marlon Brando as a middle-aged man who has a sadomasochistic affair with a teenage girl, was banned initially in his native Italy when it came out in 1972....
