City fans cheered passes with over half an hour remaining, but United threatened a comeback when Anthony Martial slotted home a penalty. However, the reigning champions were in full flow again when substitute Ilkay Gundogan clinched the victory at the end of a fine team move with 44 passes in the build-up. The last Premier League goal to feature a longer sequence came from United, with Juan Mata netting under Louis van Gaal at the end of a 45-pass attack against Southampton in September 2015....

McCollum will not be playing in the All-Star game on Sunday, which is understandable, because of the logjam of great players in the West. He was a near-miss on that front. But less understandable is the snubbing he got from the NBA in the 3-Point Contest. He has been in it the past two years, and he is shooting 42.1 percent from the arc this year — better than six of the eight players who will be shooting on Saturday night....

Mumbai Indians will go into the game as overwhelming favourites simply because of the squad they possess, and the recent taste of IPL success should give them confidence. Looks like the entire squad has had time to settle in and get acclimatized to the conditions at this time of the year and also at the beginning of a season in the Indian cricketing calendar when the pitches will be a factor in all the venues allotted for the tournament....

The match at Camp Nou has been timed so as many people as possible from the lucrative United States and Far East television markets can watch. Tebas says the time slot was chosen despite the fact that viewers in the United Kingdom will be unable to tune in, due to an embargo on live television coverage for matches at that time. The Clasico is therefore set to compete with the multi-million-spinning coverage of Premier League matches featuring Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and champion Leicester City, all of whom are due to kick off games at 11 a....

Welcome to the new world of NBA rookies, where 19-year-olds are taking on challenges, playing major roles and not shaking in their sneakers at the first sign of trouble — or even when they encounter a certain Cleveland superstar. When Kuzma went for 38 points in the Lakers’ top win of the season against the Rockets, he became the first rookie in NBA history to score at least 38 points while making at least seven 3-pointers and at least 70 percent of his shots....

Dempsey delivered a pair of trademark classy goals to finish off a tough Vancouver Whitecaps side, moving Seattle a big step forward in its quest to repeat as MLS Cup champion. The Sounders missed Dempsey’s attacking influence in a goalless first leg in Vancouver, and though it took him a half to really get going, the 34-year-old eventually found his rhythm and flashed his brilliance in the 56th minute with a clever cut-back and finish to cap a beautiful passing sequence....

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw told reporters after Wednesday’s start that while “no-hitters are cool,” he believes that the frequency of them in 2021 is “probably not good for the game,” according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. “Fans want to see some hits, I get that, and some action, and not too many guys striking out,” Kershaw said in the report. MORE: Could any of these 8 pitchers throw the next no-hitter?...

If you’ve watched MLB Network or ESPN the past couple days, you’ve probably seen the number that jumps off the television screen. In his past 26 regular-season starts, dating back to his June 21 shutout of the Twins last summer, the Cubs’ ace right-hander has a 0.85 ERA. Zero Point Eight Five. MORE: Who is MLB’s best third baseman? It’s really stunning. True tell-your-grandkids brilliance. Bob Gibson stuff. My first thought was that Arrieta has arrived at “Peak Bonds” territory, or that he’s at least established a well-equipped base camp and started his climb....

What you need to know is that 73 is very good, as can be surmised from Kershaw’s line against the Mets: 7.2 innings, four hits, two earned runs, no walks, 10 strikeouts, one home run allowed. In the major leagues this year, 8.3 percent of starting pitchers have recorded a game score of 73 or better. For Kershaw, a game score of 73 represented the median of his 11 starts — he’s had five better, five worse....

The ESPN pregame show was in Clemson on Saturday and, despite the rain, Tigers fans were out in full force playfully ribbing Notre Dame before the big game.

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson spun around Austin Bryant, but Jabril Robinson followed. Then Tre Lamar. Christian Wilkins finally dragged Jackson down behind the line of scrimmage. That was the last play of the first quarter with the score tied at seven, and perhaps the last illusion the Cardinals had of removing the crown from the king of the ACC.

State receiver Ahmaad Harris screwed up royally after fielding a punt return. Instead of taking a knee in the end zone, he tossed the ball to the ref, where it landed on the ground. The Tigers quickly pounced for the easy score. MORE: Top 25 live updates Check it out: It was Clemson’s fourth touchdown of the day, all in the first quarter. It gave them a 31-0 lead....

Cleta Mitchell has been a key figure in pushing claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election and will now serve on the EAC’s Board of Advisors following her appointment on November 3. The appointment was reported on Twitter by Jessica Huseman, editorial director of Votebeat, who shared a screenshot showing an email the EAC had sent about the matter on Monday. “She was appointed effective November 3, but the EAC just announced her nomination today—12 days later—in an email to stakeholders....

The change in conservation strategy has actually been coming for a while as a direct result of climate change, according to Gregor Schuurman, an ecologist at the NPS Climate Change Response Program. “The press of climate change is not letting up any time soon. In fact, it’s intensifying, and predicted to keep doing so,” Schuurman told Newsweek. “This push is very much against the idea that we can keep things as they were....

At issue is a scandal that now threatens to go beyond the internecine politics of the Teamsters. It may also engulf other unions, including the AFL-CIO–and possibly the Clinton White House. The dispute centers on Carey’s 1996 re-election race for the Teamsters presidency. Carey denies knowing of any malfeasance in his campaign, but three political consultants who helped his effort pleaded guilty last week to federal fraud and conspiracy counts for shuffling moneys between the Democratic Party, the AFL-CIO and the Carey campaign....

Then Lou Williams took over. Williams scored 16 Los Angeles points in a row during a torrid fourth-quarter stretch, and the Clippers dominated the final period of a 111-101 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. The Clippers trailed by 25 in the second quarter and were down 83-60 in the third before storming back to tie the game at 89 in the fourth. It was 91-all before Williams scored every Los Angeles point during a decisive run that put the Clippers up 107-96....

For the better part of the twentieth century, a combination of private-industry practices and federal government policy denied mortgage credit to Black and immigrant buyers and neighborhoods, shutting those communities out of opportunities to build equity through homeownership and create intergenerational wealth. The 2008 subprime mortgage meltdown—fueled, in part, by predatory loans targeted to Black and Hispanic borrowers—knocked homeownership rates for Black and Hispanic Americans down to levels not seen since the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act....
