Manchester United tumbled right back into chaos on Saturday evening with an abysmal 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. With fans cautiously optimistic after the comeback win over Aston Villa, United put on an attacking disasterclass which saw them struggle to get shots on goal and they deservedly fell behind to a strike from Nicolas Dominguez after the break. A mistake from Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner handed Marcus Rashford an equaliser but parity would not last long as Morgan Gibbs-White pounced on some poor defending to secure a well-earned three points for Nuno Espirito Santo's men. How the game unfolded Dominguez saw a strike blocked inside the opening minute as Forest made a bright start to proceedings, while an uncomfortable clearance from Raphael Varane gave goalkeeper Andre Onana a huge scare when the ball ricocheted perilously across his goal line. United's first actual shot came in the 33rd minute as Aaron Wan-Bissaka's strike from outside the box was blocked and...

Chelsea have endured a turbulent 18 months since BlueCo, a consortium led by LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly, too over the club in May 2022. The Blues are already on their third permanent manager in that time, which doesn’t include Frank Lampard’s caretaker spell in charge between the start of April and the end of May. Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as his replacement but could see his new team equal an unwanted record in Wednesday’s Premier League Game at home to Crystal Palace, which they could then break against Luton Town on Saturday. There are any number of metrics we could use to illustrate just how bad a time Chelsea have been having lately, despite BlueCo spending over $1 billion on new players since acquiring the club.

Remember when English top-flight Game s were played on Christmas Day ? Most of us don’t, but it did happen once upon time. Since a 4-2 win for Blackpool over Blackburn Rovers in 1965, no fixtures have been played on 25 December, with Boxing Day instead taking centre stage over the festive period . The first matches played the day after Christmas were held in 1957 and have been a mainstay on the English calendar ever since, becoming one of the eagerly-anticipated rounds of the season, particularly since the creation of the Premier League in 1992. For match-goers, it’s an opportunity to get together with like-minded supporters and a day out during the holidays . For armchair fans, it’s an excuse to pig out on leftover turkey, boxes of chocolate and enjoy a post-Christmas tipple in front of the television . United lead Arsenal and Liverpool for Boxing Day victories As far as clubs are concerned, Manchester United are presumably the club that most looks forward to playing on Boxing...

A 3D fish fossil complete with eyeball was found alongside a һoѕt of marine Animals in a farmer’s field in Gloucestershire, UK. The fossil is thought to be around 183 million years old.

Following the collapse of RNF Racing at the end of the 2023 MotoGP season, NASCAR outfit Trackhouse – owned by Marks and the musician Pitbull – has taken over the grid slots vacated by the Malaysian squad. Trackhouse’s arrival in MotoGP comes as the series looks to expand its presence in America. MotoGP last held multiple races in the US in 2015, when the calendar featured COTA and Indianapolis, while in 2013 there were three grand prix in the country. Since 2016, MotoGP has only had one grand prix in America and the overall interest in the series has dropped off in recent years. In an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com, Marks says Dorna Sports is working towards adding a second grand prix in America but admits the number of available circuits able to host the series is low. “America is a very big country, and having more than one grand prix would help,” Marks said. “Just the announcement and promotion of a new circuit would make MotoGP shi...
