Man City wins English Premier League after Arsenal loses at Nottingham Forest

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:56:25 GMT

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Arsenal’s end-of-season collapse is complete. Manchester City is the English Premier League champion once again.A 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest capped a stunning implosion by Arsenal in a title race that came to an end on Saturday, with City holding an unassailable four-point lead and champion for a third straight year.It is City’s seventh league crown in a 12-year period during which the Abu Dhabi-owned club has changed the face of the English game with its wealth and dominance under Pep Guardiola.City’s latest title is the fifth in Guardiola’s seven years at the club and owes as much to its end-of-season streak of 11 straight victories as it does to a meltdown by Arsenal, just when a first league title since 2004 was in sight.Arsenal led by eight points on April 1 but has since won only two of eight games.A win at the City Ground likely would have delayed the inevitable but Taiwo Awoniyi’s 19th-minute goal brought an end to the ti...

NASCAR drivers facing unfamiliar venue with All-Star race at North Wilkesboro Speedway

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:56:25 GMT

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — William Byron has driven past North Wilkesboro Speedway on his way to the Blue Ridge Mountains. So has Brad Keselowski and many other North Carolina-based NACAR drivers.Like most, they’d never been inside the track before this week. And none of the drivers on the NASCAR circuit have raced a Cup Series car here.That should make the All-Star race on Sunday night at the restored .625-mile track all the more interesting — and unpredictable — when 24 drivers vie for a $1 million first-place prize at the refurbished track.“I’m not gonna speculate on what type of racing that we’re gonna see,” Kevin Harvick said. ”… When you start speculating on something that’s never happened, you’re just asking for nothing but trouble. It’s going to be fun, but I don’t know what that means as far as how the race is going to be.”The last time the track hosted a Cup Series race was in 1996 when Jeff Gordon won.It has sat mostly dormant and unused for the better part...

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners and Viktor Hovland, the co-leaders of the PGA Championship, have teed off in the third round at Oak Hill.A persistent rain that soaked the East Course has prevented the rest of the field from gaining much if any ground on Scheffler, Conners and Hovland, who began the day at 5 under. They have a two-shot lead on Bryson DeChambeau, with a group of four players next at 2 under.The second round closed with only nine players under par. When the twosome teed off, there were only 10 at 1 under or better.Rory McIlroy and Adam Svensson each opened with a pair of birdies on their first five holes to move to 2 under. Justin Rose, meantime, fell back to even for the tournament with a bogey 5 on two.Course officials have at times had to squeegee puddles of water that gathered on several fairways.___The third round of the PGA Championship is underway at soggy Oak Hill, where wet conditions await a trio of co-leaders when they tee off later S...

El Manchester City logra el título de la Premier League tras otra derrota del Arsenal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:56:25 GMT

(CNN) — El Manchester City selló el título de la Premier League el sábado, ya que la sorpresiva derrota del Arsenal por 1-0 contra el Nottingham Forest puso fin a cualquier probabilidad matemática persistente de que el equipo del norte de Londres usurpara al equipo de Pep Guardiola en la carrera por el título.Es un resultado que ha parecido cada vez más inevitable durante semanas, debido que la racha de 23 partidos invicto del City coincidió e influyó en la lenta capitulación del Arsenal desde su posición en la parte superior de la tabla, que había ocupado durante gran parte de la temporada.Pep Guardiola ha llevado al City a su quinto título de la Premier League en seis años. Jan Kruger/UEFA/Getty Images/FILEA pesar de que todavía tenía un colchón de ocho puntos el mes pasado, las esperanzas del Arsenal de lograr su primer título desde la temporada 2003/04 se extinguieron después de una racha de tres empates improbables y una paliza por 4-1 ante el Manchester City en abril, ag...

Stars follow familiar script of responding to Game 1 OT loss to Golden Knights

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:56:25 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said he doesn’t want his team to make a habit of being in this situation, but the Stars have shown an amazing ability during the NHL playoffs to respond to early adversity.Including Friday night’s 4-3 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights, the Stars have opened all three playoff series with an overtime loss.They came back to beat Minnesota in six games in the first round and then survived a seven-game endurance test to eliminate Seattle. And now the Stars are down 1-0 to the team that put together the Western Conference’s best regular-season record.“The good news is the other two ended the right way, so that’s what we hope for,” DeBoer said. “But you’ve got to win some overtime games, too, in the playoffs. You can’t go 0-for-3 or 0-for-4 in the playoffs in overtime, so that’s something that we’ve got to get fixed quickly.”Jason Robertson, who had a goal and an assist in the opener against the Knights, said being able to ...

Man City’s treble bid up and running after winning English Premier League

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:56:25 GMT

Manchester City’s bid for a treble of major trophies is up and running.The first was secured on Saturday without City even playing as the team clinched a third successive English Premier League title — and a ninth top-flight crown in its 143-year history — thanks to another slip-up by second-placed Arsenal.Arsenal losing at Nottingham Forest 1-0 capped an end-of-season meltdown for the once long-time leader and left City with an unassailable four-point lead.City’s players will get their hands on the league trophy after their match against Chelsea on Sunday, but don’t expect the celebrations to last too long.Pep Guardiola’s squad has its sights on becoming just the second team to capture the Premier League-FA Cup-Champions League treble, and still has two finals to play.The FA Cup final against Manchester United is on June 3 at Wembley Stadium followed by a meeting with Inter Milan in the Champions League final on June 10.City is enjoying a period of domestic dominance rarely seen in...

Arsenal stumbles in EPL title race to add to list of late-season collapses

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:56:25 GMT

There was no Kevin Keegan-style rant. There was no William Gallas-like post-match tantrum. There wasn’t anything that comes close to the drama of Steven Gerrard’s Anfield slip.Still, that won’t prevent Arsenal’s late-season stumble from going down in the annals of the English Premier League’s most memorable collapses, quite simply because of the level its players were performing at to get themselves in position to win the title in the first place.Only six top-flight teams in the history of English soccer have amassed more points by the halfway mark of the season than Arsenal’s haul of 50, based on three points for a win.And the Gunners didn’t stop there; they powered into an eight-point lead with nine games remaining thanks to a 4-1 thrashing of Leeds on April 1 that continued the team’s attractive and attacking style of play. Manchester City, then in second place, had a game in hand but even Pep Guardiola accepted there was nothing his team could do to stop Arsenal in this ki...
