1 week ago Dolphins beat sloppy Jets but Tyreek Hill sustains probable season

Miami say WR suffered dislocated kneeDolphins move to 1-3; Jets remain winless at 0-4Broncos beat Bengals 28-3 in Monday’s later gameMiami’s Darren Waller had a pair of touchdown catches in his first NFL game in nearly two years, but the Dolphins’ first win of the season, a 27-21 victory over the New York Jets, was marred by a dislocated knee for their star receiver, Tyreek Hill.The Dolphins lost Hill in the third quarter. The five-time All-pro made a catch and landed awkwardly on his left leg after being tackled near the New York Jets’ sideline. Players from both teams looked on anxiously while Hill was tended to, and he was then carted off the field. The Dolphins said in a statement he was “being taken to a local hospital for imaging, evaluation and observation.” The team’s head coach, Mike McDaniel, later confirmed Hill dislocated his left knee, an injury which will almost certainly end his season.

That was the Champions League quarter-final as Villa mounted a rousing fightback against Paris Saint-Germain that, although it fell short, rattled the eventual champions. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Antony swoops late for Betis to deny Nottingham Forest on European return

Already for Ange Postecoglou it feels like an interminable wait. Just as it seemed he would record his first victory as Nottingham Forest manager in a competition he won last season, Antony levelled for Real Betis to kill the impending party. Igor Jesus scored twice as Forest recovered from Cédric Bakambu’s opener and hit the woodwork in pursuit of a first-half hat-trick but the former Manchester United winger, derided in some quarters after struggling in the Premier League, struck a 85th-minute equaliser. Compared to last Wednesday’s capitulation in altogether different surroundings at Swansea, this was nothing – the Championship club scored in the 93rd and 97th minute to earn a comeback Carabao Cup victory – but it was a galling finish all the same.Forest under Postecoglou have so far been a double-edged proposition but the overriding feeling for the travelling supporters at the final whistle – about 5,000 travelled to Seville, 3,385 were stationed up in the gods in the away end –...
