Fulham ends poor run with 3-1 win at Everton in EPL

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:54:53 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Fulham ended an alarming run of Premier League defeats by beating Everton 3-1 on Saturday as Marco Silva claimed a first win against his former employers to damage their attempt to avoid relegation.Harrison Reed put the Cottagers ahead midway through the first half but Everton hit back through Dwight McNeil and seemed the likeliest to score again before halftime at Goodison Park.But the momentum swung back toward Fulham when Harry Wilson put the visitors back ahead just after the break. Dan James sealed victory to snap Fulham’s sequence of five successive losses.With Fulham in the ascendancy, Everton’s players became increasingly disjointed and were booed off at the full-time whistle after squandering the chance to put daylight between themselves and the Premier League relegation zone. Everton remains above the bottom three on goal difference alone.This will be especially frustrating for Everton manager Sean Dyche, whose side have a much better ...

Ready or not, Durant, Suns prepare for Clippers series

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:54:53 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Kevin Durant’s arrival in the desert hasn’t gone exactly to plan. Because of injuries, the 13-time All-Star has played just eight games with the Phoenix Suns since he was acquired in a mid-February franchise shakeup.But those eight games sure were impressive.The Suns are unbeaten when Durant plays, giving the franchise plenty of hope that it can win an NBA championship for the first time in its 55 seasons. No. 4 seed Phoenix opens the playoffs Sunday against the No. 5 seed Los Angeles Clippers.“Chemistry matters, being on the same page with your team matters,” Durant said. “In a perfect world, I would have loved to play more than eight games with this team. But I’ve just got to rest on me playing 1,000 games in the NBA.“I’ll figure it out.”Durant’s arrival has given the Suns a star quartet that also includes Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Phoenix is trying to make it back to the NBA Finals for the second time in three s...

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — The Grand National, one of the world’s most famous horse races, was delayed Saturday after animal rights activists scaled fences around the perimeter of Aintree racecourse and got onto the track.The developments came after three people were arrested in connection with a plan by the activists to disrupt the race. All three were arrested on “suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance,” Merseyside Police said.Some of the activists from an estimated group of 300 climbed the high fences around the racecourse and got onto the track a few minutes before the race was scheduled to start, apparently attempting to handcuff themselves to the obstacles.Police and security officials were seen stopping other activists and shaking the perimeter fences to prevent others mounting them.The race was delayed as a result and the 39 horses were kept in the parade ring. It was originally scheduled to begin at 5:15 p.m. local time (1615 GMT).A 25-year-old woman and a ma...

MONACO (AP) — Fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev reached the Monte Carlo Masters final for the second time after rallying to beat eighth-seeded American Taylor Fritz 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 in a rain-interrupted contest on Saturday.The Russian player, who lost in the final two years ago, goes for his 13th career title and first at Masters level against either sixth-seeded Dane Holger Rune or No. 7 Jannik Sinner of Italy.They played later Saturday, with the 21-year-old Sinner competing in his third straight Masters semi this season.Under cloudy skies, Rublev leveled the match on his fourth set point when Fritz, the French Open junior runner-up in 2015, double-faulted for the fifth time.He broke Rublev to lead 2-1 in the deciding set but trailed 15-40 in the next game. Fritz won a 40-stroke rally to save one break point, but Rublev let out a roar after a stinging backhand down the line won the next point as he broke straight back.

NHL playoffs: Can anyone in the East beat the Boston Bruins?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:54:53 GMT

After winning an NHL-record 65 games and steamrolling opponents since October, the Boston Bruins look like the clear favorite to come out of the East and win the Stanley Cup.The reality? “Everyone’s 0-0,” veteran forward Charlie Coyle said.The climb to try to win the franchise’s first championship in more than a decade begins with a series against the Florida Panthers. Injuries could make Boston vulnerable in the second round against Toronto or Tampa Bay and in the conference final against either Carolina, New Jersey, the New York Rangers or Islanders. But the Bruins’ talent, consistency and depth make them look like they can overcome it all.“The confidence level is high,” coach Jim Montgomery said. “We believe that it’s going to be hard, and we don’t talk about winning the Stanley Cup now. We talk about Game 1, that’s going to be our focus. We think that not looking too far ahead that creates anxiety. We believe in staying present and our process allows us to have succe...

Dortmund wastes great chance to move level with Bayern

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:54:53 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Neither Borussia Dortmund nor Bayern Munich could seize their opportunity on Saturday. Borussia Dortmund conceded three late goals against 10-man Stuttgart and squandered the chance to capitalize on Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.Gio Reyna temporarily fired Dortmund level on points with Bayern at the top of the table when he scored in injury time, but there was still time for Silas Katompa Mvumpa to score Stuttgart’s even later equalizer for 3-3, leaving Dortmund two points behind Bayern with six rounds remaining.Hoffenheim forward Andrej Kramarić struck what seemed a decisive blow in the title race with a free kick that canceled Benjamin Pavard’s opening goal for Bayern, but Dortmund failed to make the most of its two-goal lead against Stuttgart that had a player less for the whole second half.___More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Source

Eze scores twice as resurgent Palace beats Southampton 2-0

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:54:53 GMT

SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Eberechi Eze scored twice and resurgent Crystal Palace beat last-place Southampton 2-0 on Saturday in the Premier League for its third straight victory since the return of manager Roy Hodgson.Eze knocked in a rebound from close range in the 54th minute and struck from distance 14 minutes later at St. Mary’s Stadium in a victory that should ease any concerns Palace had about relegation.It’s a third consecutive loss for Southampton, though, and with seven matches remaining Ruben Selles’ team is running out of time to find points.The Saints have gone six straight games without a win and will travel to London to face first-place Arsenal next Friday.Palace was without a win in 2023 when it hired the 75-year-old Hodgson last month as the replacement for the fired Patrick Vieira.The visitors opened the scoring when Saints goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu parried Jordan Ayew’s shot into the center of the box, where Eze awaited before scoring with a...

DELPHI, Ind. (AP) — A judge has ordered a man charged with killing two teenage girls in Indiana transferred to a different state correctional facility after the suspect’s attorneys argued that his physical and mental health is deteriorating after months in isolation.Richard Matthew Allen, 50, will be moved to another facility that will accommodate his medical, physical and psychological needs, the Journal & Courier reported, citing a court order signed Friday.Since shortly after his arrest in the 2017 killings of Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, Allen has been held in isolation at the maximum-security Westville Correctional Facility for his protection. It’s unclear where he’ll be sent next, but the order suggests it will have different medical facilities.In an April 5 request for Allen’s transfer, his defense team said he sleeps on a pad on a concrete floor, hasn’t received visits from his wife or family for the past five months, and is force...
