English Premier League: Chelsea beat Manchester City 3-1
- December 03, 2016
To make it worse, Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho were both sent off in stoppage time where the players completely lost their cool. "We didn't win because we missed a lot of chances, not for the referee", said Guardiola. "It was a very good performance from us and we created a lot of chances", he told reporters. The Argentina striker won't be seen again in the Premier League until December 31. (more...)

Liverpool manager Klopp in awe of teenager Ben's skills
- December 03, 2016
Writing in his column for BetVictor , Owen said: "I'm absolutely delighted for Ben who is a local lad and lives not far from my stables just outside Chester". With the first half ending in 0-0, both teams were desperate to break the deadlock in the second half. "First of all I said to him: 'Well done, but it was not too hard - I would have scored too.' That is maybe the truth". (more...)

'Difficult' Hamilton ties will persist - Rosberg
- December 03, 2016
Hamilton was scheduled to complete a full day of tyre testing in Abu Dhabi - the scene of his championship defeat to Nico Rosberg on Sunday - but was replaced after only the morning session. "You can understand the team's perspective as we are driving under certain rules we have to obey".

Rockets End Warriors Win Streak
- December 03, 2016
Ryan Anderson matched Harden's team-high point total with 29, and Gordon chipped in with 23 off the bench for Houston, which must endure the second night of a back-to-back Friday at Denver. Last night's double-overtime game between the Rockets and Warriors was perhaps the most entertaining game of the season so far. They did so with young point guard Tyus Jones finishing off the game for the second consecutive night, as he did in a winning leading-man performance Friday at Phoenix. (more...)

Minnesota Vikings' DE Brian Robison blasts refs after loss to Dallas Cowboys
- December 03, 2016
The Vikings are hungrier, so they just might pull away for a narrow win. It was either holding penalties (Doug Free and Gavin Escobar ) or fumbling the ball and losing the possession (Dak Prescott and Lucky Whitehead ). Will that game plan work against the Vikings? Jerick McKinnon of the Minnesota Vikings scores a three-yard touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys . (more...)

Mercedes to bide time over Hamilton
- December 03, 2016
The 31-year-old German was a broken man in Austin last year after Hamilton clinched the title with three races to spare. "He lost very little time passing all of those cars and not killing his tyres", said Horner. "He's just an awesome driver and of course one of the best in history ... and I took the World Championship away from him which is a phenomenal feeling". (more...)

LeBron Wears Cubs Uniform After Losing World Series Bet to Wade
- December 03, 2016
It was quite a sight seeing James in a Cubs uniform on Friday. A bet is a bet and LeBron James kept his end of the bargain. James took it in stride but was still less than thrilled about the entire situation. He actually did look like he could play baseball. The Cavaliers have lost back-to-back games to the Bucks and Clippers. Bulls: Rondo's triple-double was his first with the Bulls and the 29th of his career. (more...)

Rosberg's wait for his first world title is the second-longest in history, spanning ten years and 206 races, and he was expected to challenge Hamilton to retain his title next year.

Dundas' Mackenzie Hughes claims first PGA Tour victory
- December 03, 2016
Spieth has not enjoyed the best of seasons, but hopes this is a sign of things to come in 2017. "I probably sound like a really cheap person right now when I say that". This was just his ninth PGA Tour event ever. He hasn't won since the Tour Championship in 2014 to capture the FedEx Cup, and at No. 76 in the world, he is not yet eligible for any of the majors next year. (more...)

Doubles win gives Croatia the edge over Argentina in Davis Cup final
- December 03, 2016
The shot of the match came in the opening game of the third set, when Del Potro struck an improbable baseline-to-baseline tweener lob. Cilic fought off two early break points but then succumbed to nerves as the finish line approached, falling 0-40 behind on serve at 5-6, and Del Potro pounced at the third opportunity to reignite his country's hopes.

Big Ten Championship: What time, channel is Wisconsin vs
- December 03, 2016
It's going to come down to turnovers like it has in every Big 10 championship game that has been played. The CFP remains possible, not probable - depending on other results - but the "backup plan" isn't a bad gig. Although both were close (14-7 at MI and 23-20 in overtime vs. Ohio State) they have lost to two Big 10 teams ranked above them. "If we would have been listening to the outside world we would have been 6-6 team this year". (more...)

And in amongst this, he saw himself climb to number one in the world rankings for the first time in his career, something that will stand until the end of the year. It was a second-set lead that wasn't to last long however, Murray immediately hitting four consecutive points to break to love, a crushing forehand the decisive blow as he took the momentum forward.

However, there are some that still aren't sold on the Steelers due to their opponents in those games - the Colts and Browns. With the Steelers scoring 30-plus points in three of their six wins this year, it becomes imperative that the Giants somehow find a way to light up the scoreboard if they want to extend their six-game winning streak.

Nick Saban rants after question about losing being acceptable
- December 03, 2016
Alabama was dominant, with a ideal 12-0 season. The Crimson Tide dominated the Gators this time 34-7. He's said by some analysts to have cracked the top five for Heisman candidates. They're going to have more opportunities to play, just not here in Bryant-Denny Stadium. 'Bama hasn't given up a touchdown in November, hasn't allowed a team inside its 10-yard line during that span and has won its last seven games by an average margin of four touchdowns. (more...)
