NonePRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) — When the referee whistled for the free kick just outside the area, Atletico Madrid forward Julián Álvarez quickly picked up the ball and moved in position to take the shot. “When I saw the free kick, I told Rodri (Rodrigo De Paul) that I felt confident with the shot,” Álvarez said. “And it was a great goal.” Álvarez, Atletico's main signing in the offseason , has not been lacking confidence lately. The Argentina forward curled in the free kick shot in the 15th minute for the first of his two goals in the team’s 6-0 rout of Brest in the Champions League on Tuesday — the team’s biggest ever away win in European competitions. “We'll keep rotating who takes the free kicks,” said Álvarez, who also found the net in the 59th. It was Álvarez’s seventh goal in the last 10 matches, and third in his last three games across all competitions. The 24-year-old had a slow start to his first season with Atletico, scoring twice in 10 matches. “It was a matter of time before we started connecting well with each other,” said Álvarez, who joined Atletico after two seasons at Manchester City. “We have to stay on this path to keep improving.” Ángel Correa also scored two goals for Atletico, with Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann adding one each. “We know that in this format of the competition we need to keep adding the three points and scoring goals," Álvarez said. "It's important to get the points and the goals.” Atletico was sitting in 13th place in the 36-team league standings. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerUS stocks finish higher amid tech rebound
Scholz's Second Run: Pistorius Steps Back, SPD's Uncertain Path
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and then US President Donald Trump holding a summit at Capella Singapore on June 12, 2018. WASHINGTON - US President-elect Donald Trump’s team is discussing pursuing direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, hoping a fresh diplomatic push can lower the risks of armed conflict, according to two people familiar with the matter. Several in Trump’s team now see a direct approach from Trump, to build on a relationship that already exists, as most likely to break the ice with Mr Kim, years after the two traded insults and what Trump called “beautiful” letters in an unprecedented diplomatic effort during his first term in office, the people said. The policy discussions are fluid and no final decisions have been made by the president-elect, the sources said. Trump’s transition team did not respond to a request for comment. What reciprocation Mr Kim will offer Trump is unclear. The North Koreans ignored four years of outreach by US President Joe Biden to start talks with no pre-conditions, and Mr Kim is emboldened by an expanded missile arsenal and a much closer relationship with Russia. “We have already gone as far as we can on negotiating with the United States,” Mr Kim said last week in a speech at a Pyongyang military exhibition, according to state media. During his 2017-2021 presidency, Trump held three meetings with Mr Kim, in Singapore, Hanoi, and at the Korean border, the first time a sitting US president had set foot in the country. During his 2017-2021 presidency, Donald Trump held three meetings with Mr Kim Jong Un, one being in Singapore in June 2018. PHOTO: REUTERS Their diplomacy yielded no concrete results, even as Trump described their talks as falling “in love”. The US called for North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons, while Mr Kim demanded full sanctions relief, then issued new threats. It was not clear what result a new diplomatic effort would yield. An initial Trump goal would be to reestablish basic engagement but further policy aims or a precise timetable have not been set, the people said. And the issue may take a backseat to more pressing foreign policy concerns in the Middle East and Ukraine, according to one person briefed on the transition’s thinking. North Korean state media have not yet publicly mentioned the re-election of Trump, and Mr Kim said in November that the United States was ramping up tension and provocations, raising the risks of nuclear war. Trump and some of his allies left office with the impression that the direct approach was Washington’s best shot at influencing behaviour north of the demilitarised zone, which has divided the Korean Peninsula for seven decades. The countries’ war was never technically ended even as the guns fell silent. On Nov 22, Trump named one of the people who implemented that initial North Korea strategy, former State Department official Alex Wong, as his deputy national security adviser. “As Deputy Special Representative for North Korea, he helped negotiate my Summit with North Korean Leader, Kim Jong Un,” Trump said in a statement. Tensions rise Trump inherits an increasingly tense situation with Mr Kim when he returns to the White House in January, as he did in 2017, an atmosphere allies expect the incoming president to confront head-on. “My experience with President Trump is he’s much more likely to be open to direct engagement,” said US Senator Bill Hagerty, a Trump ally, in an interview with Reuters earlier in 2024. “I’m optimistic that we can see an improvement in the relationship and perhaps a different posture adopted by Kim Jong Un if that dialogue were reopened again.” Washington has a dossier of concerns over the country’s expanding nuclear weapons and missile program, its increasingly hostile rhetoric to South Korea and its close collaboration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. These topics are expected to feature in Biden administration transition briefings for Trump aides, according to a US official. The Trump team has yet to sign transition agreements, which could limit the scope of some of these briefings. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Particularly concerning to Washington are the prospects of increased sharing of nuclear or missile technology between Russia and North Korea and the deployment of thousands of North Korean troops to Russia to help in the war with Ukraine. Reuters reported on Nov 25 that North Korea is expanding a key weapons manufacturing complex that assembles a type of short-range missile used by Russia in Ukraine, citing researchers at a US-based think tank who examined satellite images. US officials said those factors raise the risk of a conflict between multiple nuclear armed nations in Europe or Asia, including the United States and its allies, which include South Korea and Japan. American troops are deployed throughout the region to deter North Korea, and Trump has insisted that US allies share more of the cost for those deployments. In his final meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier in November in Peru, Mr Biden asked for Beijing to use its leverage to reel in North Korea. Opportunity for China and the US to work together may be limited as Trump vows vast tariffs on Chinese goods and stacks his inner circle with China hardliners, such as Marco Rubio as secretary of state and Representative Mike Waltz as national security adviser. Trump said in October the two countries would have had “a nuclear war with millions of people killed”, but that he had stopped it, thanks to his ties with the North’s leader.

There is “clear support from the United States” for the Great Sea Interconnector , which is set to link the electricity grids of Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, Greek Energy Minister Theodoros Skylakakis said on Wednesday. Speaking at an intergovernmental summit between Greece and Cyprus, he said his country is now at the “epicentre of various interconnections”, and pointed out that Greece has already connected its mainland grid with Albania, Bulgaria, Italy, North Macedonia, and Turkey. Additionally, he said, a “green interconnection for the transfer of wind energy” between Greece and Egypt is already being considered. He added that within Greece, efforts are being made to connect the mainland grid to the country’s many islands , and that the interconnector cable connecting the island of Crete to the mainland is nearing completion, while interconnection projects in the Cyclades islands and the Dodecanese islands are ongoing. It is Crete which will be connected to Cyprus via the Great Sea Interconnector, with Cypriot Energy Minister George Papanastasiou pointing out that when the cable is complete, Cyprus will as a result be connected to Europe’s electricity grid. This, he said, is “the European Union’s goal”. Papanastasiou also described the project as one which also has a “geopolitical” nature, given that it has been partially subsidised by the European Commission. To this end, Skylakakis said the project now has a “regular cash flow” and that cables have begun to be laid off the coast of Crete . He added his hope that with the Cypriot government set to become a stakeholder in the project, it will “be able to attract the interest of important international investors”. On this point, Papanastasiou acknowledged the “technical, geopolitical, and financial risks” of the project, but said the geopolitical risks can be “managed through diplomacy, operational monitoring, and financial alliances with investors from major countries”. He was then asked whether the Cypriot government will buy into the project, and said, “the political decision is that the project is supported and that the final investment will be made after the completion of the study”, with a cost-benefit analysis having been submitted and now going under his ministry’s microscope. Skylakakis said the project will be “more beneficial for the Cypriot consumer , as for Greece, it will contribute more to the stability of the system and the possibility of dispersing renewable energy potential into the wider region”. “The project is important politically, geopolitically, and in terms of energy for Cyprus and the wider region,” he added. Cyprus has long been weighing up its options on the matter of whether or not it will buy in to the project’s holding company, with Greece’s independent power transmission operator Admie, a 51 per cent stakeholder, having requested the Cypriot government pay €100 million to buy in . On that matter, the Cypriot government has demanded access to a cost-benefit analysis and the time to evaluate it before coming to a final decision, George Panteli, the finance ministry’s then permanent secretary, had said in September Cyprus’ authorities have not yet seen the project’s financing plan. He said his ministry is at present “not in a position to put forth” any concrete statement regarding the project’s risks, neither from a geopolitical standpoint, nor regarding the potential impacts of the project on Cyprus’ economy and energy market. This is the case, he said, due to “the absence of decisions and studies which have not been completed”, as well as “regulatory decisions which have not been finalised” over the matter. In addition, he said the government was not given access to the interconnector’s financing plan and was not privy to the details of Admie’s agreements with technology companies Nexans and Siemens for the manufacture of the interconnector’s cable and voltage convertors. The wait for a decision had irked Skylakakis earlier in the year. He had said in April that Cyprus may miss deadlines should it delay a decision on the matter, and pointed to the European Commission’s financial support for the plan under its Connecting Europe Facility, and an extra €100m pledged through the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. “The case is that we took on a serious responsibility together with the Cypriot side, after the Commission had evaluated the project and had given us a huge investment in this project. If this investment is lost, the chance of Cyprus being connected to the rest of Europe, and of the entire cable being realised, will be dramatically reduced,” he said. He added, “ that is something which the Cypriot government will also have to evaluate .” He went on to say that his government’s responsibility is to protect Greek consumers and taxpayers, and seemed to indicate that his government’s patience may be running out with Cyprus. He However, he made indications that he will not be willing to wait for ever for Cyprus to come to a decision, saying “our final analysis will be based on our most important responsibility – to the Greek consumers and taxpayers.” “For Greece, this project is positive as it facilitates a balancing of our electricity network, but it is not a critical project. Greece is not an island, in energy terms ,” he added. Therefore, he said, “for Greece, the important part from our point of view is of course for the project to come to fruition, but to look out for the interests of the Greek people first.” said Greece “has shown a surplus of good will on this matter to help to try to not lose this project,” and emphasised again the possibility that the whole project may fall apart if Cyprus does not make a decision.

One person turns up surprisingly often at Donald Trump’s side. Not his No 2, JD Vance, nor his wife, Melania, but another man a quarter-century younger and about $300 billion heavier: Elon Musk. The two hunkered down in Mar-a-Lago on the night of the election, celebrating the results. This week they were in Texas, watching Mr. Musk’s staff test-launch a spacecraft. During the campaign, Mr. Musk personally chipped in $130 million, made speeches at rallies and organized campaigns to “get out the vote.” Last week, the world’s richest man was picked by the president-elect to run a new “department of government efficiency.” So close are the pair that Mr. Musk dubs himself “First Buddy.” American politics has always been coiled around money, tight as a vine around a trunk. Nearly 25 years ago, George W. Bush joked at a swanky white-tie dinner: “Some people call you the elites; I call you my base.” Nor is it confined to the right wing. Of the two main candidates in this month’s election, more billionaires backed Kamala Harris. One result is a highly warped politics that works against the very people it urges to go out and vote. The renowned political scientists Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson observe that many rich countries have succumbed to rightwing populism — but Mr. Trump is different. He talks populist, but walks plutocratic. According to Prof. Hacker and Prof. Pierson he is “fixated on helping the wealthiest Americans.” The $1.5 trillion of tax cuts he made in his first term meant that, for the first time in history, billionaires paid a lower rate than the working class. The Republicans were always the party of big business, but Mr. Trump is turning them into a playpen for oligarchs. This autumn, Mr. Musk was the only boss of a Fortune 100 business to donate to the Republicans, compared with the 42 company heads who supported Mr. Bush in 2004. Mr. Trump’s donors do not come from the big institutions of corporate America but are often drawn from casinos, crypto currency, fossil fuels and shadow banking. Business leaders used to argue that their support for politicians was in the hope of securing long-term stability and competent economic stewardship. This time, some appear to have been made very particular promises. In April, Mr. Trump convened a dinner for fossil-fuel executives and lobbyists, where he reportedly demanded they donate $1 billion. In return, they’d face fewer pesky regulations on where they could drill. “It’s a whole different class,” one longtime handler of Republican donors told the New Yorker last month. Rather than a photo op and a grand dinner, “they want to essentially get their issues in the White House ... They want someone to take their calls.” And they probably don’t want too much scrutiny. Mr. Musk’s appointment to the “department of government efficiency” is both less and more than it seems. It’s not a Washington job that would burden the tech billionaire with regulations around conflicts of interest; rather he will “provide advice and guidance from outside of government.” This sounds like unparalleled access without much responsibility, which leaves the American public reliant on Mr. Trump’s personal ethics to safeguard their democracy.Persistent antisocial behaviour offenders would face up to two years in jail and the police would get the power to seize e-scooters being ridden on pavements under Labour’s plans to bring back a new form of Asbo.

Published 01:50 IST, November 28th 2024 India has proposed setting up a dedicated multilateral fund to support developing countries in tackling plastic pollution New Delhi: India has proposed the establishment of a dedicated multilateral fund to support developing countries in their efforts to tackle plastic pollution. This proposal, presented during the final round of negotiations for a legally binding international agreement on plastic pollution held in Busan, South Korea, seeks to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century. The proposed fund, modelled after the highly successful multilateral fund established under the Montreal Protocol—an international treaty that successfully tackled ozone depletion—aims to provide financial and technical support to developing nations. India has called for developed countries to contribute to this fund, emphasising the need for these nations to assist in the transition towards eco-friendly technologies and sustainable practices in less-developed regions. The fund would be designed to offer grants (rather than loans) to developing countries, making it easier for them to adopt environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. According to India’s proposal, this initiative would provide the much-needed resources to help nations meet the ambitious rules and targets set by the forthcoming global agreement on plastic pollution. The proposal stresses that financial contributions from developed nations will be critical, not only to address the immediate needs of developing countries but also to ensure long-term, sustainable solutions. Developed nations would be expected to periodically contribute to the fund, with guidelines in place to facilitate private-sector donations. The proposal says that compliance by the developing countries should depend on the developed countries covering the extra costs involved in transitioning to environment-friendly alternatives. India has suggested the formation of a subsidiary body with equal representation from developed and developing countries to oversee the fund’s operations, including creating policies, managing resources, and ensuring fair distribution of funds. The subsidiary body would also handle technology transfers. In 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) adopted a historic resolution to tackle plastic pollution on a global scale. This led to the creation of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) tasked with developing a legally binding international agreement on plastic pollution by 2024. Since 2022, the INC has held four sessions in Uruguay, France, Canada, and Kenya. The current session in Busan, which runs from November 25 to December 1, is expected to finalise the agreement.

Trump’s nominee to head the National Institutes of Health , Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a physician and economist at Stanford, reportedly wants to target so called “cancel culture” at a number of top progressive universities, according to The Wall Street Journal . Those with knowledge of Bhattacharya’s thinking told the newspaper that he’s considering linking the doling out of billions in federal research grants to a measure of “academic freedom” on campuses and punishing those that apparently don’t adequately embrace perspectives championed by conservatives. Bhattacharya wants to take on what he views as academic conformity in science, which pushed him aside over his criticism of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including his opposition to school closures and mask mandates to stop the spread of the virus. He suggested in a Wall Street Journal op ed in 2020 that only up to 40,000 Americans would be killed by the pandemic . More than 1.2 million people died. While he hasn’t yet established how to measure academic freedom, he has been looking at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and the nonprofit’s scoring of universities and their rankings based on freedom of speech. The nonprofit bases its rankings on surveys of students’ views on whether they feel comfortable sharing ideas, with schools being negatively scored if their administrators punish faculty for opinions, or if they withdraw an invitation to a speaker following a possible controversy. Some of the schools that receive NIH grants but have bad rankings, according to the nonprofit, include the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and the University of Southern California, The Journal noted. Those at the top of the rankings include the University of Virginia, Michigan Technological University, and Florida State University. Bhattacharya also has plans to fund studies that recreate the work of other scientists in an attempt to take on scientific fraud. There are also plans to create a scientific journal to publish studies with comments by named reviewers, to urge a more open discussion. He has also suggested limiting the amount of grant money that pays for publication in journals, and he would look eastablish a pause on research which creates new viruses for study purposes. In addition, Bhattacharya has a goal of enacting term limits for those in charge of the research institutes run by NIH. He would would review a congressional Republican proposal to slash the number of institutes and centers from 27 to 15, those with a view into his thinking told The Journal. Lizbet Boroughs, associate vice president of the Association of American Universities, told The Journal: “It’s not clear why we’d roadblock the best chances of finding a cure for cystic fibrosis or cancer or Alzheimer’s by adding potentially political, nonresearch factors into medical-research grant decisions.” Former director of the National Cancer Institute Ned Sharpless told the paper that Bhattacharya might find it hard to implement his changes. While he could change the rubric used to review grant applications, it may be difficult to get grant reviewers to follow his guidelines, Sharpless told the newspaper. “It’s much more complicated than it appears from the outside,” he said of the top job at NIH. As many as 174 scientists on the NIH staff or who have received its funding have won a Nobel Prize, The Journal noted. NIH doles out as much as $25 billion in grants each year, which have led to major advances, including immunotherapy cancer treatments.
5 top tech gifts for the holidays
Robert Carter Nicholas IV, a descendant of the local administrator of the 18th-century Williamsburg Bray School, visited Williamsburg on Monday and took a tour of the restored school building that his ancestor supported. Robert Carter Nicholas Sr., known as “the treasurer” because he served from 1766 to 1775 as the last treasurer of the Colony of Virginia, served as one of the trustees of the Bray School, a charity school for free and enslaved Black children encouraged by Benjamin Franklin. The school was in operation from 1760 to 1774. Accompanying Nicholas IV on the visit were his sons, Robert Carter Nicholas V, 22, a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and James Wilson Nicholas, 18, a student at Elon University in North Carolina. Nicholas IV and his family have lived for the past 11 years in Madrid, Spain, having earlier lived in the Washington, D.C., area. His sons, while on Thanksgiving break, were scheduled to visit their grandmother in Washington; their father arranged to join them. Because they were going to be nearby, he suggested they visit Williamsburg and the Bray School to learn more about their ancestor and his relationship with the school. Several years ago, while “looking up my family tree on Ancestry.com, I learned about their connection with William & Mary. I then looked at William & Mary and found out about the Bray School,” Nicholas IV said. “The family has long known about Robert Carter Nicholas and his important position in colonial Virginia, but not about the Bray School and its history.” The building that housed the school is being restored by Colonial Williamsburg, and earlier this month was dedicated in the 250th anniversary year of the school’s closing. While the school isn’t scheduled to be fully open to the public until next year, the Nicholas family was able to get a tour while in the area. Dani Jaworski, manager of the Colonial Williamsburg Architectural Collection, was on hand Monday to explain the restoration effort and help answer questions as the Nicholas family toured the building, which sits at the corner of South Nassau and West Francis streets. She agreed that it was rare for a descendant of a colonial resident to visit Colonial Williamsburg. Nicholas V was very interested in various holes in the original wood beams in the building’s first floor. He was told that the holes and discoloration were because of the lathes used for the original plaster of the walls. He also asked about the stairway and banister that he was told were original to the building. “I’m amazed that wood that formed the building,” he said looking around the structure, “is still here more than 200 years. It is also impressive that the building has survived its several moves, including the most recent” to the current site in February 2023. Nicholas IV was impressed with the way the Bray School would be presented to the public and how much extensive research had been done in recent years. “It was nice that an ancestor had played an important role in making it a reality,” he added. Jaworski pointed out that Black descendants of the school’s students recently had signed their names to a portion of the restored structure. The family took an opportunity to look at the signatures that had brought the school’s history up to the present day. A letter from Nicholas Sr., on Nov. 17, 1774, to the Rev. John Waring of Associates of the Bray School in London, told of the school’s status. Nicholas Sr. wrote that Ann Wager “of the Negro School at Williamsburg” had died. “Seeing no prospect” of a continuation, the school was closed. From late 1761 until its closure, Nicholas Sr. had been the principle contact between the school and its London-based supporters. In addition to “managing” the school, the family learned that Nicholas Sr. also arranged for two of his enslaved children, living in town, to attend. In a Sept. 13, 1765, letter also to Waring, he wrote, “I have a Negro Girl (most probably) in my Family, who was taught at this School upwards of three Years & made as good a progress as most.” Another girl, Sarah, born in 1769, also attended in the late years of the school. Both students’ names are found in the list of school children provided by Nicholas to the Bray Associates. In correspondence with the associates, Nicholas explained the school’s plans there were “by no Means calculated to instruct the Slaves in dangerous Principles (i.e., freedom), but on the contrary ... to reform their Manners; & by making them good Christians they would necessarily become better Servants.” Over the years, the building has survived centuries of use, renovations and enlargements and a move from its original site in 1930. It was rediscovered in 2020 by retired William & Mary professor Terry L. Meyers. As he stood on the building’s first floor, Nicholas IV expressed “mixed feelings of an ancestor being a slave holder,” but was pleased that the ancestor was actively involved in doing something good for the students at the school. “We all have a duty to history, accept the realities of it, and try to understand especially the aspects that might make us uncomfortable.” The Bray School in Williamsburg was formed in 1760 with William & Mary President Thomas Dawson and William Hunter, the printer of the Virginia Gazette, as the primary trustees. Dawson died later in 1760 and was succeeded by the subsequent W&M President the Rev. William Yates. In 1761, Hunter asked Nicholas Sr. to join the trustees. Hunter died later in the year after the death of Yates in 1764. Nicholas Sr. operated the school largely on his own. Born in 1728, Nicholas Sr. was a prominent lawyer, patriot, legislator and judge. He served in the Virginia House of Burgesses and its successor, the Virginia House of Delegates. As a burgess he served from James City County from 1766 to 1776 and as a delegate in 1776 to 1777. He was judge of the High Court of Chancery of Virginia when he died in 1780. Virginia politician Edmund Randolph, a member of the Continental Congress in 1779 and Virginia governor in 1786, described Nicholas Sr. as having a “complacent temper; in all his actions he was benevolent and liberal.” Nicholas IV, works in internet technologies, is the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Nicholas Sr. and descends from Wilson Cary Nicholas, one of Nicholas Sr.’s several sons. Wilson Cary Nicholas, a William & Mary alumnus like his father, served as a U.S. Senator from Virginia from 1799. He was governor of Virginia from 1814-1816. He was born in 1761 in Williamsburg; later he owned a plantation in Albemarle County. Wilson Cary Nicholas also served in the Virginia House of Delegates and in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is buried in the Jefferson burial ground at Monticello, where he lived with his daughter, who was married to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, grandson of President Thomas Jefferson. The legacy of Wilson Cary Nicholas includes Nicholas County in West Virginia and Nicholas Hall, a dormitory at William & Mary.

Legible Announces Cancellation of $0.14 Private Placement Unit OfferingArteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. Our second-half goalscorers ❤️ pic.twitter.com/aFCIMffFaK — Arsenal (@Arsenal) November 26, 2024 To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.
(Reuters) – Frustrated AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca accused referee Federico La Penna of not showing his side enough respect after they were beaten 2-1 by Atalanta in Serie A. A dramatic late goal from Ademola Lookman left Atalanta celebrating a 2-1 win following a heated clash. “I am not afraid to speak the truth. I always respected the work of the referees, I realise they have a difficult job, but every week it is always the same,” Fonseca told Sky Sport Italia. “The way the referee officiated throughout this evening was a lack of respect for Milan.” Fonseca highlighted the first goal as an example, where former Milan player Charles De Ketelaere leapt high to head the ball in. The visitors, however, voiced their concerns, claiming that De Ketelaere had pushed Theo Hernandez during the jump. “The first goal was a clear foul, there are absolutely no doubts. The way the referee officiated throughout was against Milan, there are no doubts,” Fonseca said. Fonseca admitted that his side also lacked good defending at set plays as Lookman was completely unmarked when he headed in a corner. “At the end of the day, we lost the game on two set plays. The first half was very good, but in the second we didn’t have that link with the strikers,” Fonseca added. “I think we deserved more tonight, it was tough to accept conceding two goals from dead ball situations.” Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was serving a touchline ban and had to follow the action from the stands, added that his side deserved the win. “Naturally, this is a great victory against a team with undoubtedly very talented players among the best in the league and we thoroughly deserved the win,” he said. He added that the songs from the supporters about a Scudetto after the match were premature. “The people of Bergamo have their feet firmly on the ground, so don’t take anything for granted. If we were still up there after another 20 games, it’d be different, but as things stand it is an expression of joy and a deserved one too.” (Reporting by Tommy Lund in Gdansk, editing by Pritha Sarkar) Disclaimer: This report is auto generated from the Reuters news service.
