Manchester United fans full of praise for Eric Bailly's performance
- December 09, 2016
Mourinho explained that Mkhitaryan was still getting used to the rigours of English football, but his frustration at the player was clear when saying last month that the Armenian had to "do more". So outstanding for Borussia Dortmund over recent years, the 27-year-old's initial struggles to make the squad, never mind the starting line-up, puzzled onlookers. (more...)

Hamilton reluctantly congratulates new F1 champion Rosberg
- December 09, 2016
ABU DHABI , U.A.E. -With Lewis Hamilton slowing him down on objective, two other drivers hard on his tail and the title on the line, Nico Rosberg held his nerve to win the Formula One championship for the first time on Sunday. "It's the world championship and we are out there fighting and you have to understand he wants to try something. World champion" on the radio when he crossed the line. (more...)

Patrick Roberts discusses wondergoal for Celtic against parent club Manchester City
- December 09, 2016
It was a sweet moment for the teenager, who joined City in an £11million deal previous year but then moved to Celtic on an 18-month loan in February having barely registered on the first-team radar. I saw someone [on Monday] and they sat down with me for a while. "Apart from the first game, in the main our performance level has been very, very good". (more...)

Chiefs Come Through to Take Control of Division Race
- December 09, 2016
They used Latavius Murray heavily and completed some nice passes on the drive too on their way to a 1 yard touchdown run just before the end of the half. This game was an outlier with awful conditions and I don't think it will be much of a predictor for the game tonight. "He was pretty accurate to me". (more...)

Vikings question non-call in loss to Cowboys
- December 09, 2016
I'm not trying to act like they are. Both the Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings played on Thanksgiving last week against divisional opponents, with the Cowboys picking up a nice win and the Vikings losing in heartbreaking fashion. In a way, it had a playoff feel to it - Zeke talked a little bit about that after the game, how those type of playoff games you're not going to get out to a big lead and you just pull away and you coast.

Chiefs hold off Raiders, take control of AFC West
- December 09, 2016
After Thursday's win, the 10-3 Chiefs have now taken control of the wildly competitive AFC West. Kansas City has the same record as Oakland but holds the tiebreaker advantage thanks to a head-to-head season sweep. "There's another one I don't have to worry about". "Without those guys blocking for me, and Alex throwing me the rock, none of that stuff would happen". (more...)

Raiders roar past Panthers with 4th-quarter heroics
- December 09, 2016
Consider: had the Panthers simply made that PAT and gone for the kick on their two subsequent touchdowns, this would've been a 35-35 game when Janikowski kicked his last field goal. Derek Carr tied it with a touchdown pass to Clive Walford and a 2-point conversion to Seth Roberts. But despite all that, the Panthers were in position to drive for the tying or go-ahead score.

LEADING OFF: What to watch at the baseball winter meetings
- December 09, 2016
Almost five months after the Cubs acquired Aroldis Chapman to work the ninth, the Cubs are adding an elite-level closer in Wade Davis . He finished the season with 27 saves in 30 chances and a 1.87 ERA. Maddon believes that Davis is a difference maker and assumes that if he pitches the way he did in the previous year he is good for the team. Many didn't expect his trade value to be very high this offseason, so snagging Davis in a deal was a bit of a surprise when news spread Tuesday night. (more...)

Ron Rivera confronts Newton on team bus
- December 09, 2016
Instead, after following up a narrow loss in Oakland with a lopsided one in Seattle , the Panthers are 4-8. Carolina's miserable night was capped by a 40-7 loss to Seattle following the most awkward of starts. "But whether you're playing your top-notch guys or you're playing your backups", Rivera continued, "it still comes down to execution and playing well in all three phases". (more...)

Broncos defense makes the right plays at the best times in win
- December 09, 2016
Miller's first game-swinging play came on the third drive of the third quarter. They found it with rookie Kalif Raymond, whose 19- and 22-yard punt returns in his Sunday regular-season debut were the Broncos' two longest of the season to date. (more...)

Porto, Sevilla grab remaining Champions League knockout berths, Real held
- December 09, 2016
A double from Karim Benzema seemed to have given the home side all three points but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus second half strikes meant that the favourites settled with only one point. It seems hard to envisage a game without goals and it is perhaps surprising to find both teams to score offered at a healthy looking 5/6 (1.83 ). "He makes the side better, he makes me better and we can't achieve our objectives without him", the Dortmund boss told a media conference. (more...)

Zidane 'angry' as Real surrender lead and top spot
- December 09, 2016
Real's first game in Yokohama will be a semi-final on December 15 against South Korea's Jeonbuk Motors or Mexican side Club America. "So it's hard to think rationally". Dortmund topped the group with 14 points to 12 for Madrid . And there wasn't much for the Portuguese to shout about as he was held scoreless for a fourth straight Champions League game by more Weidenfeller heroics to turn a rising drive headed for the top corner behind.

Mkhitaryan delights Mourinho with United wonder goal
- December 09, 2016
It was a fine goal that Ibrahimovic attempted to add to, only to be thwarted at his near post, as emboldened Zorya became an increasing attacking force, albeit without testing Romero until the 73rd minute. That satisfaction also goes for his side's display in hard conditions in Odessa, securing a place in Monday's last-32 draw having emerged unscathed on a poor pitch. (more...)

India hit back after Jennings' debut ton

Ashwin provided India with the day's first breakthrough early, edging Ashwin to Kohli to slip. "He is been fabulous over the past year and he is someone who we definitely missed, I thought if he was around maybe we could have ended up snapping one or two wickets, but that's how the game goes", the TN-spinner said.
