9 d. ago Virgil van Dijk’s header sinks West Ham to edge Liverpool closer to title

When Liverpool fans next congregate at Anfield in two Sundays’ time it should be for an occasion they have craved for 35 years: to celebrate a league title triumph in person. A dramatic late victory over West Ham, secured by Virgil van Dijk’s 89th minute winner, left Arne Slot’s side needing a maximum of six points to claim a record-equalling 20th league championship.The destiny of the Premier League title will be confirmed next Sunday should Arsenal lose at Ipswich and Liverpool win at Leicester. If not, two more wins will make sure for the Anfield club. Leicester and Tottenham come next. They can feel it. Liverpool were second best for much of the second half against Graham Potter’s visitors and indebted to goalkeeper Alisson for delaying an equaliser until a Van Dijk error forced Andy Robertson to concede an own goal in the 86th minute. But the Liverpool captain atoned in style and celebrated a precious winner by kissing the Liver bird on his chest. A new two-year contract to fol...

Former sports stars can often feel forgotten after their college days are over. Some are taking the matter into their own handsTwo very different scenarios – a long-awaited title and a dramatic upset – unfolded in San Antonio and Tampa last weekend. UConn’s women’s basketball team won their first national title in almost 10 years and Houston’s men pulled off a stunning comeback victory over Duke in the Final Four.Both teams were well supported by alumni, including former Huskies Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, and Sue Bird.

But unlike the former Huskies, Olajuwon was denied permission to celebrate with his former college on court after their win over Duke.The athle...

2 w. ago Electric Elanga haunts Manchester United with Nottingham Forest winner

At the weekend the lasting image was Ryan Yates haring towards the Nottingham Forest supporters in celebration and here another episode at breakneck speed earned victory. This time the subject was Anthony Elanga, who tore up the City Ground turf, eating up 85m in nine seconds, to score the only goal of the game against his former club and maintain their push to qualify for the Champions League. Diogo Dalot sent a header against the woodwork and the substitute Mason Mount went close on his first appearance since December but, incredibly, the wait for Ruben Amorim’s side to earn back-to-back league wins goes on.“You’re not famous any more,” the Forest supporters sang into six minutes of stoppage time and while that may not quite be true it was another sobering reminder of United’s current state.
