(Mike Egerton/PA via AP) It was a fine first win for Ruud van Nistelrooy , and perhaps one final defeat for Julen Lopetegui. Leicester marked Van Nistelrooy’s first match in charge of the team by surging to a 3-1 win over Lopetegui's West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday. Van Nistelrooy, the former Manchester United striker, is back in English soccer this time as a manager, with Leicester taking something of a gamble on the Dutchman after his brief and impressive spell as interim coach at United this season following Erik ten Hag's departure. He faces the tough task of keeping Leicester, one of the top candidates for relegation, in the top division. For that to happen, he’s likely to need goals from Jamie Vardy — and the 37-year-old former England international delivered immediately. Nine years after breaking Van Nistelrooy’s record for scoring in consecutive games, Vardy scored the first goal of the Dutchman’s tenure at Leicester by beating the offside trap and slotting home a finish with less than two minutes gone. Morocco midfielder Bilal El Khannouss supplied the pass for Vardy’s goal and scored himself with a low shot in the 61st minute to make it 2-0. Patson Daka added a third for Leicester in the 90th minute, before a stoppage-time consolation by West Ham substitute Niclas Füllkrug. “We are very happy with the new manager," El Khannouss said of Van Nistelrooy. “He arrived two days ago, and there’s a new dynamic in the group.” Van Nistelrooy praised the “spirit and energy” in his team. “The foundation for us going forward is everyone working their socks off, fighting for every inch and defending together,” he said. “We can look further then, and they did that in an unbelievable way.” This dismal result for West Ham came three days after its 5-2 thrashing at home by Arsenal , which piled more pressure of Lopetegui early in the former Spain and Real Madrid coach's first season with the London club. West Ham's disgruntled traveling fans chanted "You’re getting sacked in the morning” toward Lopetegui during the second half — even if his team dominated large parts of the game but only had one goal to show from 31 shots on goal. “We're very frustrated but in the same way I can say nothing about the players — they fight until the end,” Lopetegui said. "It’s not easy to explain football some days.” West Ham has lost seven of its 14 games so far and is in 14th place in the 20-team league, one spot above Leicester. Guehi defies FA Crystal Palace won for just the second time in the league this season, beating relegation rival Ipswich 1-0 to pull clear of the bottom three. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the goal in the 59th minute. Palace’s only other league victory was against Tottenham in October. While Ipswich stayed in next-to-last place, Palace moved three points above the relegation zone. Much of the focus ahead of the game was on the teams’ captains , Sam Morsy of Ipswich and Marc Guehi of Palace, during another round when the Premier League was celebrating LGBTQ+ inclusion in its campaign to promote equality and diversity. For the second straight game, Morsy chose against wearing a rainbow armband issued to the captain of each of the 20 teams in the league. He has made the decision “due to his religious beliefs,” Ipswich says. Guehi did wear the rainbow armband but defied Football Association rules by writing a religious message on the item. The message read “Jesus loves you” — using a heart sign instead of the word “loves.” During the match against Newcastle on Saturday, Guehi wrote “I love Jesus” — and was later contacted by the FA for acting in contravention of its regulations. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Steve Douglas, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?

Kobe Sanders tied a season high with 27 points as Nevada claimed fifth place in the Charleston Classic with a 90-78 victory over Oklahoma State Sunday afternoon in South Carolina. Sanders helped the Wolfpack (6-1) earn a second win following one-possession games against Vanderbilt and VCU. After hitting the decisive 3-pointer with five seconds left in Friday's 64-61 win over VCU, Sanders made 7 of 10 shots, hit three 3s and sank 10 of 13 free throws Sunday. Nick Davidson added 223 points as Nevada led by as many as 19 and shot 58.9 percent. Brandon Love contributed 11 on 5-of-5 shooting as the Wolfpack scored 46 points in the paint and scored at least 85 for the fourth time this season. Marchelus Avery led the Cowboys (4-2) with 15 points and Arturo Dean added 13. Robert Jennings and Abou Ousmane added 11 apiece but leading scorer Bryce Thompson was held to seven points on 1-of-9 shooting as Oklahoma State shot 42 percent and 73.2 percent (30-of-41) at the line. After Avery's 3 forged a 12-12 tie with 13:41 remaining, Nevada gradually gained separation. The Wolfpack took a 24-15 lead on Chuck Bailey's jumper in the paint with 8:28 left but the Cowboys inched back, getting within 33-31 on a dunk by Avery with 4:11 left. Another Bailey jumper staked Nevada to a 40-33 lead by halftime. Nevada began pulling away early in the second half as it scored eight in a row for a 52-40 lead on a basket by Love with 16:44 left. A 3 by Sanders opened a 62-43 lead with 14:06 remaining before Oklahoma State charged back. After Nevada made eight straight shots, the Cowboys countered with 11 straight points and trailed 62-54 with 11:19 left on a 3-pointer by Avery. Thompson made his first basket by sinking a jumper with 10:37 left to get Oklahoma State within 64-56 left, and Keller's triple cut the margin to 70-64 nearly three minutes later. The Cowboys were within 78-72 on a basket by Avery with 3:56 remaining, but he fouled out about a minute later and the Wolfpack outscored Oklahoma State 12-6 the rest of the way as Sanders sank five free throws. --Field Level MediaNot only has he been prolific in front of goal, but he has also shown his versatility and playmaking abilities by setting up his teammates for scoring opportunities.

Otu, Marwa, Anyim, Mark, Kukah, others honour late Ndoma-Egba’s wife at 4th memorial lectureSporting a stellar 12-3 record, the Golden State Warriors currently occupy the Western Conference's No. 1 seed. But, with a pricey injured role player's contract now burning a hole into majority owner Joe Lacob's pocket, the club hopes to get even better ahead of the 2024-25 February trade deadline. After newly-acquired starting shooting guard De'Anthony Melton was ruled out for the year with an ACL injury, it quickly became clear that the capped-out Warriors could probably best maximize his expiring one-year contract in a trade. Due to cap restrictions, Golden State would probably have to make another move to accommodate signing a new player into a disabled player exception, which would be worth $6.4 million, half of Melton's current salary. Read More: Warriors Guard to Have ACL Surgery, Out for Season Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer ruminated on exactly how the Warriors could look to move on from Melton and continue the team's current momentum. "The Warriors loved Melton's fit next to Steph, loved the fact that he could be an off-ball combination guard offensively, who could potentially take the ball and allow Golden State to put Steph off, and run off screens, and all the type of pin-down, flare actions that the Warriors always do. He looked really sharp," Fischer said. "How do you use that one-year, $12.8 million [deal] as a pure expiring contract?" Fischer wondered. "You're gonna have to attach some type of incentive, whether it's draft pick compensation or some younger piece on your books." Melton, a 6-foot-2 USC product, finishes his first (and, possibly, last) season in Golden State with averages of 10.3 points on .407/.371/.625 shooting splits, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals, while tackling the tougher defensive assignments and letting All-NBA point guard Stephen Curry focus on his offense. "Now, I know plenty of people... are hoping for the Warriors to supplement their frontcourt rotation," Fischer offered. "There's also something to be said about trying to replace the type of role that De'Anthony Melton was going to fill." For now, head coach Steve Kerr has installed third-year shooting guard Lindy Waters III as his Melton replacement in Golden State's starting five. The team's starting five is filled out by small forward Andrew Wiggins, power forward Draymond Green, and center Trace Jackson-Davis. In the four games Waters has started, he's averaging 6.0 points on 40.9 percent shooting from the field (40 percent shooting from long range on 3.8 triple tries), 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. "There's a real opportunity for Golden State to shore up that rotation," Fischer said. "One clear data point on the board... the Warriors clearly looked at finding a second starter-level crunch-time-level, two-way wing to defend wings next to Wiggins. They plugged that hole with Melton, Melton's now gone... One name that would be fascinating that I know his team is more willing than ever to discuss him in a trade [is] someone like Patrick Williams in Chicago. Not an insurmountable salary to get to. Williams, who possesses the skill set of a 6-foot-8 bench small forward but whom the Bulls perpetually miscast as their starting power forward, inked a generous five-year, $90 million contract as a restricted free agent this offseason. The 23-year-old is averaging 9.9 points on .376/.394/.840 shooting splits, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks a night. He is a solid man-to-man defender and a good-if-hesitant 3-point shooter. Fischer added that Williams, the No. 4 selection in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Florida State, has "lottery pick upside" and "has never truly tapped that potential." Fischer also floated Brooklyn Nets veteran small forward Dorian Finney-Smith.
