LONDON -- Arsenal stepped up their pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool by sealing a 2-0 win against Manchester United at the Emirates on Wednesday, once again highlighting their peerless ability to score from set-pieces. Second-half goals from Jurriën Timber and William Saliba , both from corners, clinched a comfortable win for the Gunners which left United coach Ruben Amorim with his first defeat since taking charge at Old Trafford last month. With Liverpool dropping two points after being held to a dramatic 3-3 draw against Newcastle St. James' Park, Arsenal reduced the gap between themselves and Arne Slot's team to seven points with the win against United. First defeat for Amorim, but Man United show progress Amorim warned that a "storm will come" ahead of Manchester United's visit to Arsenal. The new United coach arrived at the Emirates unbeaten in three games since arriving at the club last month, but the defeat against Arsenal ended that unblemished start. Editor's Picks Liverpool player ratings: Alexander-Arnold, Salah star in thriller vs. Newcastle 1h Adam Brown Who are the most 'clutch' in Premier League when it comes to scoring, stopping goals? 2d Ryan O'Hanlon Manchester City's era of dominance is fading away right before our very eyes 2d Mark Ogden Amorim said he expected United to endure a difficult period and that might now come considering a run of games that sees his side play Manchester City , Tottenham and Newcastle before the end of the month. But, while United were well-beaten in the end by the Gunners, there was enough shown by the players to suggest that Amorim's influence is beginning to have an effect. For a start, United played with purpose for much of this game and had a clear plan of what was expected of them. Amorim and his coaches have clearly drilled the players on the training ground and the back three looks convincing and in midfield, captain Bruno Fernandes looks like he could be a solution in a deeper-lying role. Mason Mount brought energy and tactical awareness to his position further forward and Leny Yoro 's appearance as a second-half substitute was the French teenager's first competitive game since his summer arrival from Lille following a lengthy foot injury lay-off. The manner of United's defeat -- two goals conceded from two corners -- and the way his team ran out of steam late in the game will be a concern, however. Amorim has already cited the need to improve the squad's physical condition and that is a job that is still to be done. But there are signs of progress. Amorim is giving all his players a chance to make or break their United careers and he is seeing them win and now lose, which will help him learn more about their capabilities. By the time United return to the Emirates for an FA Cup third round tie in January, expect them to be better still and more likely to emerge with a positive result. -- Mark Ogden Arsenal cut into Liverpool's lead Gunners manager Mikel Arteta last week warned Liverpool that a big lead at the top of the table is no guarantee of anything, suggesting that "suddenly when you think you have it, one day it collapses." A 3-3 draw at Newcastle does not constitute a collapse by Liverpool but it did present an opportunity for the chasing pack to chip away at their nine-point lead. Chelsea and Manchester City did so in the slightly earlier kick-offs with wins against Southampton and Nottingham Forest respectively, ramping up the pressure on the Gunners to follow suit. They were just wrapping up those victories around the time Timber opened the scoring at Emirates Stadium on 54 minutes, settling palpable nerves in the stands after a first-half in which United did a good job of stifling their opponents. Arsenal held their nerve despite an opening 45 minutes in which they never really got going and Arteta will be pleased with the maturity his team showed in maintaining their composure and finding the breakthrough. From the moment they took the lead, United never seriously threatened aside from Matthijs De Ligt's 67th-minute header and, after Saliba's goal six minutes later, the Gunners were left to close a relatively comfortable win, which will fuel their self-belief that Liverpool can be caught. A winnable run of league games until the New Year awaits: Fulham away, Everton at home, Crystal Palace away and Ipswich at home. Maximum points would put Liverpool under further pressure. -- James Olley Amorim gives Man United energy from the touchline The new Manchester United head coach is a bundle of energy on the touchline, and his passion and drive is rubbing off on his new team. Erik ten Hag's successor was constantly coaching, cajoling and berating his players from the technical area, with left-back Tyrell Malacia pretty much given a personal one-on-one coaching session as he attempted to deal with Arsenal's Bukayo Saka during the first-half. Amorim was organising his players, telling them to be more compact as a defensive unit and also urging them to hit Arsenal quicker on the break. His frustration, too, was evident whenever an attacking move broke down because his forwards -- usually Alejandro Garnacho -- cut back and failed to be more direct. There are shades of Jurgen Klopp in Amorim's actions on the touchline, although he has yet to be quite as critical of the officials as the former Liverpool manager. But compared to Ten Hag, who often stood motionless on the touchline with his hands in his pockets, Amorim is a much livelier character and his players feed off it because they know they have to step it up to impress their new boss. -- Ogden No Gabriel, no problem from set-pieces for Arsenal When Thomas Partey made an embarrassing hash of a close-range near-post header in the eighth minute, it was tempting to speculate how much Arsenal would miss their biggest threat from set-pieces. They scored 32 Premier League goals from dead-ball situations last season -- a league high -- and from corners the figure is even starker. No Premier League team has scored more goals from corners since the start of last season than Arsenal's 22 and in the past three years, no defender has netted more than Gabriel's 15. As a reminder of the Brazilian's enduring threat, he scored in Arsenal's previous two matches before missing out here with a thigh injury -- against Sporting CP in the Champions League last week and then the opening goal in Saturday's 5-2 thrashing of West Ham. Instrumental in that corner routine at the London Stadium was Timber, whose gentle near-post nudge on Lucas Paquetá enabled Gabriel to meet Bukayo Saka's delivery. This time, Timber got the telling touch himself from Declan Rice 's corner to score his first goal for the Gunners. They were at it again in the 73rd-minute. Saka's delivery to the far post found Partey unmarked and this time his header back across goal hit Saliba and flew in. Arteta celebrated both goals with Arsenal's set-piece coach Nicolas Jover -- it is a familiar sight these days and Arsenal's unparalleled potency from dead-ball situations decided another contest in their favour. -- Olley

We needed it – Pep Guardiola relieved to end Man City’s winless runFind out what government offices and other services are closed for Thanksgiving Day, and may be closed on Friday, too.
Unwrap the latest AI features with Amazon Fire TabletsThe champions had descended into crisis after a run of seven games without a win – six of which were defeats and the other an embarrassing 3-3 draw after leading 3-0. Four of those losses had come in the Premier League, heavily damaging their chances of claiming a fifth successive title, but they appeared to turn the corner by sweeping Forest aside at the Etihad Stadium. “We needed it,” said City manager Guardiola. “The club, the players, everyone needed to win. “But it is just one game and in three days we are at Selhurst Park, where it has always been difficult. “We played good. We still conceded some transitions and missed some easy things and lost some passes that you have to avoid, but in general, the most important thing was to break this routine of not winning games and we won it.” Kevin De Bruyne, making his first start since September after overcoming a pelvic injury, made a huge difference to a side that appeared rejuvenated. His powerful header was turned in by Bernardo Silva for the opening goal and the Belgian followed up with a powerful strike to make it 2-0. The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season but it was a strong riposte to recent suggestions of a rift with Guardiola. A sweet strike 💥 ⚡️ #HighSpeedMoments | @eAndGroup pic.twitter.com/WJOkfKo2zr — Manchester City (@ManCity) December 4, 2024 “I’m so happy for him,” said Guardiola of De Bruyne’s telling contribution. “Last season he was many months injured and this season as well. “I’m so happy he’s back. He fought a lot, he’s worked and he’s back with his physicality. The minutes he played in Anfield were really good and today he played 75 fantastic minutes.” Jeremy Doku wrapped up a pleasing win when he finished a rapid counter-attack just before the hour but there was still a downside for City with injuries to defenders Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji. Guardiola said: “For Nathan it doesn’t look good and Manu has struggled a lot over the last two months. We will see. “Phil (Foden) has bronchitis but when he doesn’t have fever he will be ready.” Despite City’s dominance, Forest did have some bright moments and manager Nuno Espirito Santo was not downbeat. He said: “When you lose 3-0 and you say it was a good performance maybe people don’t understand, but I will not say that was a bad performance. “There are positive things for us in the game. Of course there are a lot of bad things, mistakes, but we had chances. “We didn’t achieve but I think we come out proud of ourselves because we tried. For sure, this game will allow us to grow.”Are you ready for Glicked? Yes, that’s the actual nickname for the simultaneous release of Gladiator 2 and Wicked this weekend. Hollywood is hoping for another bountiful Barbenheimer box office bonanza (say that three times fast), and if the tracking is correct, they are going to get it. Expect tons of crowds at movie theaters this weekend. If you’re like me and hate people, er, crowds, then don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. You can stay in and enjoy some films that have been overlooked. I’ve assembled a list of three underrated movies that are streaming on Max right now. None of them have the spectacle of Ariana Grande singing in a floating pink bubble or Paul Mescal in a blood-stained toga, but maybe that’s a good thing. We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix , the best movies on Hulu , the best movies on Amazon Prime Video , the best movies on Max , and the best movies on Disney+ . Out of the Furnace (2013) Christian Bale is one of the best actors working today, and chances are, you haven’t seen one of his best performances ever. That’s because Out of the Furnace didn’t get the attention it deserved when it was released in 2013, even though it was praised by critics. It’s never too late to correct that mistake, and you’ll get to see both Bale in his prime and a picture you won’t soon forget. Out of the Furnace concerns two brothers, ex-con Russell (Bale) and amateur boxer Rodney (Casey Affleck), who are both working class and rely on each other to survive. When Rodney gets into trouble with some shady characters, Russell must bail his brother out of trouble before it’s too late. I’m keeping this plot description deliberately vague as Out of the Furnace takes some wild turns and ends up becoming a gripping thriller that also works as an effective character study. Bale may have won his Oscar for The Fighter, but he deserved another one for his superb work here. Out of the Furnace is streaming on Max . Anaconda (1997) Ice Cube. A giant snake. Oscar winner Jon Voight. Jennifer Lopez before she was J.Lo. Eric freakin’ Stoltz. There was a time in history when one movie contained all of these disparate things, and that movie is Anaconda . The 1997 action-thriller is as cheeseball as it gets, but it knows it, and the director, Luis Losa, works the material with a B-movie zeal that’s hard to come by nowadays. While trying to film a documentary about native tribes near the Amazon River, a film crew, headed by director Terri (Lopez) and including cameraman Danny (Ice Cube), and sound engineer Gary (Owen Wilson), encounter shady snake hunter Paul (Voight), who subtly manipulates the crew to help him find the fabled anaconda snake. Paul gets his wish, and soon, everyone on the boat must fight to survive and avoid getting killed by the deadly, oversized reptile. Does everyone make it out alive? Nope. Is Anaconda the definition of a guilty pleasure. If you watch it and like it, don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul. Anaconda is streaming on Max . The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) One of the all-time great marketing campaigns occurred at the end of 2011, when Sony decided to market its highly anticipated adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling mystery, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , as “the feel bad movie of Christmas.” They weren’t wrong as the movie deals with heavy topics like rape, trauma, and murder, but you don’t feel bad after watching it. The filmmaking by director David Fincher is too good, and the dynamic lead performance by Rooney Mara is too exhilarating to feel negative about anything. For those that don’t know, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is Lisbeth Salander (Mara), a computer hacker who is very good at her job. She crosses paths with journalist Mikael Blomkvist ( James Bond actor Daniel Craig), who is investigating the 40-year-old murder of a teenage girl in Sweden. By combining forces, they hope to solve a murder and uncover dark family secrets. In the process, they grow closer to one another, which threatens to change Lisbeth from a social outsider to someone who can at last trust people again.

The additional shares repurchased with $150 million of cash on hand utilized capacity under the existing share repurchase program, leaving approximately $1.08 billion of remaining capacity available under the program through 2026. "Demonstrating our commitment to shareholder returns, we have now repurchased more than 20% of our outstanding Common Stock in the past year and, through these repurchases, have bought back nearly 75% of our market capitalization as of our emergence from bankruptcy in May 2023,” said Mac McFarland, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We will continue to deliver value to all our stakeholders, including Rubric, which remains a valued and substantial owner of Talen stock.” The Repurchase was priced at a 4% discount to a 15-day VWAP prior to the closing of the Repurchase, resulting in the repurchase of 4,893,507 total shares at a price of $204.35 per share. Following the Repurchase, 45,961,910 shares of the Company's Common Stock remain outstanding.

In an ideal world, the home fans of an NFL team are respectful to the fans and family members of the visiting team on a weekly basis, but that is not always the case. And, according to the wife of a Cleveland Browns player, that was not the case during the team's Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. After losing to the Browns on their home turf a few weeks back, the Steelers were able to get revenge in Week 14, beating the Browns in convincing fashion, 27-14. Following the game, the wife of Browns offensive lineman Wyatt Teller took to social media to express her frustration with the way her and the wives of other Browns players were treated by Steelers fans during the contest. "The fans in Pittsburgh today were so blatantly disrespectful to me and the Browns girls," Carly Teller wrote on X . "I’ve never felt so attacked by people who I literally did nothing to. Very sad/embarrassing behavior." The Steelers and Browns have a long, heated history with one another, and that no doubt extends to the division rivals' fans. But that's no excuse to act in a disrespectful manner, especially to the family members of players who are just there to cheer on their loved ones. Sadly, not all fans agree with that, something that is abundantly clear based on what Teller's wife tweeted out on Sunday afternoon. What can't be lost in this situation is the fact that not all Steelers fans subscribe to what some were allegedly up to on Sunday. Don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. MORE PITTSBURGH STEELERS NEWS Pat Freiermuth had hilarious George Pickens-related reason for punting ball into stands AFC North standings: What Steelers' Week 14 win means for first place leadThe House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has asked the U.S. Treasury Department to reexamine the United States’ relationship with Hong Kong, given the CCP’s stronger hold on the city through the implementation of a 2020 update to the Hong Kong National Security Law. Led by committee chair Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and ranking member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), the lawmakers requested a briefing, pointing to evidence that Hong Kong may now be used by Russia, North Korea, and the Chinese regime to evade international sanctions and reroute financing for the Russian war. “Hong Kong has shifted from a trusted global financial center to a critical player in the deepening authoritarian axis of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Iran, Russia, and North Korea,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter published Nov. 25. “We must now question whether longstanding U.S. policy towards Hong Kong, particularly towards its financial and banking sector, is appropriate.” Hong Kong was given preferential treatment in the 1990s because it was understood to operate separately from mainland China, but this has changed, the lawmakers said. They pointed to condemnations of the CCP-directed Hong Kong policies by both the current and former State Departments as further indication that the executive branch believes Hong Kong to be under the CCP’s control. The lawmakers also pointed out that Hong Kong entities have already been sanctioned for aiding Russian war efforts. “The city has now become a global leader in practices such as importing and re-exporting banned Western technology to Russia, creating front companies for purchasing barred Iranian oil, facilitating the trade of Russian-sourced gold, and managing ‘ghost ships’ that engage in illegal trade with North Korea,” the letter reads. Hong Kong representatives did not respond to an inquiry from The Epoch Times by publication time. The commission advised Congress that Hong Kong’s role in global trade undermines international sanctions and national security efforts and also “exposes Western investors, financial institutions, and firms to financial and reputational risks when they do business in Hong Kong.” In addition to the PMLC designation, it recommended Congress examine the relationship between Hong Kong and United States authorities in enforcing export controls and sanctions. Chief among the concerns is Hong Kong’s updated National Security Law and companion legislation that criminalizes various forms of political assembly. Experts say the law’s broad and vague language, which puts treason and cooperation with international political organizations on the same footing, effectively puts Hong Kong under the direct control of the Chinese communist regime. The commission warned that the regime applies these laws extraterritorially, and the erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong puts the safety of those who conduct business with it at risk. Just last week, Hong Kong courts sentenced 45 pro-democracy activists to as high as 10 years in prison under the updated National Security Law. “This week saw Hong Kong authorities, acting at the behest of the CCP, impose harsh and unjust prison sentences against courageous pro-democracy Hong Kongers,” he stated. “It is clear that Hong Kong’s legal system has been degraded and is controlled by the CCP.”
