The Gunners took two points out of Liverpool’s lead at the summit of the Premier League after Jurrien Timber and William Saliba struck in the second half – both from corners – to condemn Amorim to his first defeat as United boss. The hosts’ second-half strikes took their goals-from-corners tally to 22 since the start of last season – a statistic that is unmatched by any other team in the division. Asked if Arsenal are one of the best teams he has come up against on corners, Amorim replied: “If you follow the Premier League for a long time you can see that. “They are also big players and you see every occasion when (Gabriel) Martinelli and (Bukayo) Saka have one-on-ones, a lot of times they go outside and they cross, and they know that if the cross goes well, they can score, and if it is a corner they can score, too, so we have to be better on that. “You have seen in all Arsenal games that every team have had problems with that (corners). And the difference today was the set-pieces. “You see a goal and then the momentum changed, and it is really hard for us to take the full control of the game after that.” Timber leaned into Rasmus Hojlund at the front post before diverting Declan Rice’s set-piece into the back of Andre Onana’s net after 54 minutes to send Arsenal into the lead. Thomas Partey’s header from Saka’s corner then deflected in off Saliba’s shoulder with 17 minutes left. Arteta and the club’s set-piece guru Nicolas Jover embraced on the touchline as Amorim was left with his head in his hands. The Arsenal supporters cheered raucously every time they won a corner – landing 13 in all without reply. However, Arteta moved to play down the significance of Arsenal’s set-piece threat. “We need that, but we want to be very dangerous and very effective from every angle and every phase of play,” said Arteta. “Today we could have scored from open play like we did against West Ham and Sporting. Last year we scored the most goals in the history of this football club. Arsenal have won four consecutive Premier League matches against Man Utd for the first time ever! 💫 pic.twitter.com/biv1kvsJEP — Premier League (@premierleague) December 4, 2024 “Not because of only set-pieces, but because of a lot of things that we have. We want to create individual and magic moments, too.” Arsenal’s win against United – the first time they have recorded four victories in a row against the Red Devils in the league – was their fourth in succession since the international break. They will head to Fulham on Sunday bidding to keep the momentum going. Arteta continued: “The will to win is there. We try our best to do that. We won four in a row, but it doesn’t matter. We have to go to Fulham now, try to be better than them and try win the game. “It’s every three days that we play. It’s a crazy schedule. We’re going to need everybody and to mentally be very strong.”

New Mexico man awarded $412 million medical malpractice payout for botched injectionsLISBON, Portugal (AP) — The goals are flying in again for Arsenal — and it just happens to coincide with the return from injury of Martin Odegaard. Make that eight goals in two games since the international break for Arsenal after its 5-1 hammering of Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday, tying the English team’s heaviest ever away win in the competition. Odegaard is back in Arsenal’s team after missing two months with an ankle injury . In that time, Mikel Arteta’s attack stuttered, with a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth and a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle dropping the Gunners well off the pace in the Premier League. There was also a 0-0 draw at Atalanta in the Champions League as well as a 1-0 loss to Inter Milan last month, when Odegaard made his comeback from injury as an 89th-minute substitute. Since then, Arsenal hasn’t lost and the goals have returned. After a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday came the cruise in Lisbon — and Odegaard was at the heart of everything as Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season came to an end. “He’s an unbelievable player,” Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka said of Odegaard. “The day he returned, there was a big smile on my face. You can see the chemistry we have. I hope he stays fit for the rest of the season.” Odegaard was involved in the build-up to Arsenal’s first two goals against Sporting — scored by Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz — and was fouled to win the penalty converted by Saka in the 65th to restore Arsenal’s three-goal lead at 4-1. Odegaard was seen flexing his leg after that but continued untroubled and was substituted in the 78th minute. The last thing Arteta would want now is another injury to Odegaard as Arsenal attempts to reel in first-place Liverpool in the Premier League. Liverpool is already nine points ahead of fourth-place Arsenal after 12 games. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press
The mother of Elon Musk , the world’s richest man, stopped by Fox Business on Monday to scold those who call her son “wealthy,” claiming it was “degrading” and that she would prefer he be referred to as the “genius of the world.” With her son now president-elect Donald Trump ’s “First Buddy” and in charge of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) , Maye Musk sat down with Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney to gush over her 53-year-old child’s accomplishments. Besides talking about the younger Musk’s companies SpaceX, Tesla and X (formerly Twitter), she also dished on how well her son and Trump get along, especially since the election. “I’ve seen them together, but very shortly. I live in New York, and they’re in Mar-a-Lago or at a SpaceX launch, and they just seem to be having fun. A lot of fun,” she declared, adding: “And it’s nice for both of them to have fun, and [Elon] really respects him a lot and is really happy that there’s a future for America now.” She also claimed that it would be “very easy” for her son and DOGE co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy to slash the federal workforce and cut spending, citing Elon Musk ’s severe and immediate layoffs when he purchased Twitter in 2022. Seemingly parroting her son’s talking points, she absolutely trashed the press. “What they call mainstream media, but I call them dishonest Democrat media, they will be trying to break up the relationship. They will be hating everything," she said. "And I told that to Elon, he said he expects that because they were dishonest before the election.” In the end, though, Maye wanted to make sure everyone knew her son was the best at, well, everything. And that referencing his massive wealth was a pejorative. “I don’t like the word ‘wealthy’ or ‘billionaire’ or things like that because I think it’s degrading,” she exclaimed to Varney. “I think he’s the genius of the world, and people are loving him for that! ... They love him because of what he does, and they respect him. And I’m very proud of him.” Once the clip of Maye’s comments was shared on social media , it didn’t take long for the mockery to start flowing. For instance, multiple people reacted by sharing the meme of The Simpson’s nebbish character Milhouse van Houten sheepishly saying: “But my mom thinks I’m cool!” At least one person superimposed an image of Elon on top of Milhouse in the cartoon. “Bet your mom doesn’t go on Fox News to tell everybody what a good and impressive boy you are. (It is because you and your mom have dignity),” Wonkette managing editor Evan Hurst quipped on Bluesky. One social media account snarked that the “mother of one of the most powerful men in the world going on the ‘News’ to complain about people hating on her kid is North Korean-level dictatorial bulls***,” while another Bluesky user added : “If my mommy had to go on the news to call me the ‘genius of the world’ and to tell people to stop being mean to me, [I] think [I]would die of shame and embarrassment.”Motorcar Parts of America director buys $13,668 in stockBy Aaron Webb As the 2024 season draws to a close, Oshae Baker has firmly cemented his legacy as one of the most accomplished and versatile players in the University of Tennessee at Martin football history. With a Playoff game against New Hampshire on the horizon, Baker has already made an indelible impact on the Skyhawks’ program, showcasing unmatched talent, leadership, and playmaking ability. Baker’s career at UTM began with a bang in 2021, when he was named Phil Steele FCS Freshman All-American and earned Phil Steele All-OVC third-team honors. As a freshman, Baker played a pivotal role in helping UTM secure the OVC Championship and a spot in the NCAA Division I playoffs. He compiled 68 total tackles, four interceptions, 2.0 sacks, and nine pass breakups, quickly establishing himself as one of the top young defenders in the country. In 2022, Baker continued to elevate his game, earning All-OVC second-team honors as a kick returner and Phil Steele All-OVC fourth-team honors as a defensive back. His 46 tackles, eight pass breakups, and 5.0 tackles for loss highlighted his all-around ability. One of his most memorable plays came with a 41-yard interception return for a touchdown against Lindenwood, adding a spark to the Skyhawks' defense. However, it was in 2023 that Baker truly cemented his place as a Skyhawk legend. That year, he earned Big South-OVC Football Association first-team, Phil Steele All-Conference first-team, and FCS Football Central All-Conference first-team honors. Baker’s impact on the field was undeniable: he totaled 49 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 11 passes defended, and an interception. His performance helped lead UTM to its inaugural Big South-OVC Football Association championship. In addition, he was ranked fourth in the league with 11 passes defended and fifth in punt return average (5.4 yards per return). He also contributed two quarterback hurries and forced a fumble, showcasing his all-around game. Baker’s playmaking ability extended beyond defense. As a return specialist, he averaged 5.4 yards per punt return, including a season-long 25-yard return against Charleston Southern. His knack for flipping field position and setting up his offense was a critical component of the Skyhawks’ success. Heading into his final career game against New Hampshire, Baker’s legacy is already secure. He has been named to the Buck Buchanan Award Preseason Watch List for 2024 and earned Preseason All-American honors. His selection to Phil Steele’s Preseason All-OVC second team and his ranking as the 5th best returning FCS corner by HERO Sports are further testaments to his dominance on the field. Throughout his career, Baker has not only excelled individually but also helped elevate UTM football to new heights. His leadership, both on and off the field, has been invaluable to the program. As a senior, he continues to serve as a mentor and role model for his teammates, setting the standard for excellence and work ethic and has led the Skyhawks to four conference championships. Baker’s impact extends beyond the football field. A standout at Seminole High School, he earned ESPN Orlando Special Teams "Dude" of the Year honors, and his impressive high school career paved the way for his success at UTM. Over the past four years, he has proved himself as one of the most well-rounded and accomplished players in FCS football, excelling in multiple roles and earning countless accolades. In summary, Oshae Baker leaves behind an incredible legacy at UTM. His achievements—ranging from Freshman All-American honors to multiple All-Conference selections, including his first-team nods in 2023—underscore his dominance and versatility as a defensive back and return specialist. As he prepares for his final game against New Hampshire, Baker’s place in UTM football history is already secure, and his impact will be felt for years to come. © Saul Young/News Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK
A teenage photographer who met the Princess of Wales while pursuing a photography bucket list after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer has died. Liz Hatton was pictured hugging Kate after the princess invited her to take pictures of the Prince of Wales at an investiture at Windsor Castle in October. The 17-year-old from Harrogate started a photography bucket list appeal in January after she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. She was given between six months and three years to live. Announcing her death on X, her mother Vicky Roboyna said: "Our incredible daughter Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to the last. "Even yesterday, she was still making plans. We are so very proud of the kindness, empathy and courage she has shown in the last year. "She was not only a phenomenal photographer, she was the best human and the most wonderful daughter and big sister we could ever have asked for. "No one could have fought harder for life than she did. There is a gaping Liz-shaped hole in our lives that I am not sure how we will ever fill." She asked people to share one of Liz's photos in tribute using the hashtag #LizHatton and to support the family's mission to fund research into desmoplastic small round cell tumours, which Liz was diagnosed with. She has set up a JustGiving fundraising page with a goal of raising £100,000.

Everest Group Ltd. stock underperforms Tuesday when compared to competitorsThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay went from Bad Mormon to Good Time Girl — and she’s not holding back in her second book. Heather, 50, was given the title “good time girl” by costar Lisa Barlow during the first season of RHOSLC , and now, the Bravo star is making the moniker her own. In her forthcoming book, aptly titled Good Time Girl — set to be released on Tuesday, December 3 — Heather shared hilarious anecdotes about growing up Mormon and her past marriage. The reality star also offered a behind-the-scenes look at the RHOSLC season 4 finale , and what it was like to unmask Monica Garcia as Reality Von Tease. In Us Weekly ’s exclusive excerpt from Heather’s final chapter (titled “Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Screenshots!”), she breaks down the apparent timeline of how Monica went from being in Jen Shah ’s inner circle to Reality Von Tease (the Instagram account that shared gossip about the show’s cast). At one point Heather even alleges that Jen’s husband , Sharrieff Shah , tried to kiss Monica. She does not, however, reveal how she got this information. Us Weekly has reached out to Jen and Sharrieff’s team for comment. Monica, for her part, issued a statement to Us in response to the book’s claims. “It’s truly sad and worrisome that Heather Gay has nothing else to write about than twisted and false allegations in a desperate attempt to try and tarnish the reputations of two families,” Garcia’s statement reads. “The lies told about me by Heather continue to reach new lows and the only fantasies happening here are the ones she’s concocting in her book. To clarify, I have never said that Sharrieff Shah and I kissed nor has there ever been anything romantic or physical between Sharrieff and I. To so carelessly write such untrue and damaging allegations in permanent ink at the expense of others for financial gain is deplorable. There is a reason why [former Housewives producer] Carlos King dubbed Heather Gay the most dangerous housewife.” Keep scrolling to read the excerpt from Heather’s Good Time Girl : But the demands from Jen were slowly increasing, and the charm and appreciation she usually felt was wearing thin. By the time Monica was running through the airport to meet up with Lisa, she was finally over it. The lunches and shopping and hand-me-down bags weren’t enough to make up for the amount of time she was spending away from her own life. She deserved compensation. She stopped relying on sad stories to get money from Jen and instead charted her hours and asked for an actual paycheck. And the pushier she got, the more Jen pulled away. Jen was onto her. She stopped including her on the Shah Squad group texts and rarely responded to her calls or text messages. The sudden silence was deafening and Monica began to spiral. Did Jen need her to drop by today? “What’s the plan? I’m available” Nothing seemed to work. This added insult to injury. She wasn’t getting paid and now she was definitely getting ghosted. Monica was in a tailspin. Where had all the sympathy for her and her family gone? Weren’t they friends? How could you do this to me ... question mark. In a final Hail Mary attempt for a handout she reached out to Jen’s husband Sharrieff. Supposedly, they agreed to meet up in the parking lot of a gas station and, according to Monica, the exchange quickly turned romantic. She claims he tried to kiss her, but she pushed him off, saying, “We can’t.” Sharrieff got out of the car and immediately left. But no one believed her. She was getting desperate and was known for cranking up the delusion when cornered. By all accounts, she had been pining for Sharrieff from the moment she met him, and this was one of her absurd fantasies. Still, she swore that they had kissed, but nothing more had happened between them after that night. She was notoriously full of lies. With Sharrieff unable to help her, Monica was being forced to accept that her run with the Shahs was over. Like with any good con, you need to know when the gig is up and she knew it. Her husband was living across state lines, her baby blanket business was dwindling, and Jen was pulling the plug on their “friendship” all before filming for season 2 even began. She was beside herself with rage, like a knockoff Regina George realizing she’d been eating high-calorie Kalteen bars instead of diet meal replacements. She was angry-spitting and wailing and gnashing-of-teeth angry-and she wasn’t going to take it lying down. You have successfully subscribed.

She had had enough of watching Jen’s popularity grow while she was being depleted. By now, Jen’s presence on the show and on social media had made her a bona fide villain with influence and fame, and she wasn’t sharing any of it with Monica. If she wasn’t going to have the perks of being famous, then Jen wasn’t either. She decided to expose her. She would take Jen Shah down and make her suffer while she did it. It was in this fit of anger that Reality Von Tease was born. GOOD TIME GIRL by Heather Gay. Copyright © 2024 by Heather Gay.

AROYA to Unveil Groundbreaking Cultivation Innovations at MJBizCon 2024Older siblings everywhere could appreciate John Harbaugh's refusal to concede an inch against his younger brother Jim. Even when his Baltimore Ravens faced fourth down at their 16-yard line in the second quarter, John wasn't giving up the ball without a fight. The Ravens converted that fourth down and two others on their way to a 30-23 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, giving their coach a third victory in three matchups against his brother. It was the first time they'd faced off since Baltimore beat San Francisco — then coached by Jim Harbaugh — in the Super Bowl at the end of the 2012 season. “We grew up in the same room and have always lived our life side by side, but that’s not what the game is about,” John Harbaugh said. “The game really is about the players, and the players are always going to win the game or lose the game or whatever.” On this night, it was Baltimore's players who shined. Specifically Derrick Henry, who rushed for 140 yards. Lamar Jackson threw a couple of touchdown passes, and the defense was solid, allowing touchdowns on the first and last Los Angeles drives but not much in between. “I’m proud of our guys,” John Harbaugh said. “I’m proud of the way they came out and responded after the first 10 points — we were down 10-0, and our guys stepped up.” After converting fourth-and-1 at their 16 late in the second quarter, the Ravens scored on a 40-yard pass from Jackson to Rashod Bateman, taking the lead for good at 14-10. Baltimore's other two fourth-and-1 conversions came on a 14-play touchdown drive that spanned the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth. “We’re just confident that we’ll end up converting on those fourth downs, and we did a great job blocking,” said Henry, who converted the last two of the fourth downs. "All we had to do was make a play, and we did.” The Ravens got back to their identity a bit, rushing for 212 yards. And it wasn't just Henry and Jackson contributing. Justice Hill broke free for a 51-yard touchdown that made it 30-16 in the fourth. “Nobody wants to stand in front of (Derrick Henry) every single play, every single run,” Hill said. "You can do it one time, two times, three times, but when you have to do it 20 to 25 times, it starts to wear down. I’m glad we stuck with the run game this game, and it played out for us.” There were still too many penalties, with the Ravens flagged nine times for 102 yards. Baltimore played a pretty clean game until the fourth quarter, so several of those flags came after the Ravens had the game reasonably under control, but this is still an area of concern. With star linebacker Roquan Smith out because of a hamstring injury, Malik Harrison led the Ravens with a dozen tackles. “It’s a lot of people that doubted me coming into this game, so I’m happy I was able to ball out and show them that I can be in this league, and I can play at a high level,” Harrison said. There was a time when Isaiah Likely seemed as if he might be supplanting Mark Andrews as Baltimore's top tight end threat, but Likely went without a catch Monday. He did, however, recover the onside kick that effectively ended the game. Although Smith was out, DT Travis Jones (ankle) and C Tyler Linderbaum (back) were able to start. Jackson has now thrown 22 touchdown passes with no interceptions on Monday nights, with a passer rating of 124.3. The Ravens have one more game before their open date, and it's a showdown this weekend against a Philadelphia team that has won seven in a row. Saquon Barkley (1,392) of the Eagles and Henry (1,325) have both surpassed 1,300 yards rushing already. Nobody else in the NFL has more than 1,000. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
