Pulisic scored his eighth league goal of the season from just 16 starts and third since the season restart following the coronavirus-enforced break as Chelsea edged Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park. After Olivier Giroud’s sixth-minute opener, Pulisic doubled the lead approaching the half-hour mark before Palace star Wilfried Zaha reduced the deficit heading into the interval. But Tammy Abraham’s 71st-minute strike ensured Chelsea climbed above Leicester City into third position, despite Christian Benteke’s goal....

In Landau, director Burton found Lugosi’s kindred spirit. A stage and film veteran, Landau was best remembered for his three seasons on TV’s “Mission: Impossible” in the 1960s – until meaty parts in “Tucker” (1988) and “Crimes and Misdemeanors” (1989) turned his career around and won him two Oscar nominations. “There was a long period when I was offered one-dimensional roles in meaningless films. I was lucky I didn’t have to drive a taxi; I was working as an actor....

Last week, an East Haven, Connecticut, landlord was arrested on claims that he had entered his renter’s home without permission—and had rummaged through both her and her daughter’s underwear. According to an East Haven Police Department press release, the unnamed tenant first reported issues with the landlord, identified as Jorge Orellana-Arias, in early May, alleging that he had entered her apartment multiple times when she and her daughter weren’t home....

It may be the most determined culinary performance since Martha Stewart appeared on the CBS “Early Show” grimly chopping cabbage after she was indicted on federal charges of insider trading. “There are times when we’ve tried our damnedest to get some publicity,” says Hall of Fame board member William Vaughn Jr., adding that the organization stuck with Craig because of his record representing Idaho in Congress for 27 years. “He sure as hell isn’t being honored for the last few months,” Vaughn says....

Según revela la publicación The Information, la red social tendría pensado desarrollar y comercializar su propio reloj el próximo año. ¿Qué puede aportar Facebook a este mercado? Estos dispositivos, que nacieron con la premisa de reemplazar a los relojes tradicionales, han ganado en popularidad y funcionalidad, para ofrecernos en la actualidad diversos sensores que se centran en monitorizar datos sensibles de nuestra salud de nuestro día a día....

The university did not provide any examples of the hazing it discovered and said no action was taken against any individual. Former recruit Kayla Miller-People told The Philadelphia Inquirer of the alleged hazing she received when she was a freshman on the team. Miller-People said she was a victim of “initiation games,” during which, she said, the La Salle freshmen had soccer balls kicked at them from all directions....

If anything, the combine only made LAFC’s decision more difficult, with sources telling Goal that Bob Bradley and his staff are far from any sort of consensus on who to select, or even if the pick should be retained or traded. There is no Cyle Larin in the 2018 draft, a player who a consensus of teams would agree is the clear top choice. In fact, when more than a dozen MLS coaches and general managers were asked by Goal who they would take with the top pick, four different players received multiple votes, with two emerging as the leading candidates....

United have already secured a place in the next phase of the competition, so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was always likely to include a few extra youngsters in the travelling party. Nevertheless, an 18-man selection that includes only four senior players is not what most would have expected, though it does provide a little extra intrigue ahead of a game that is by no means vital. Solskjaer confirmed in his pre-match news conference on Wednesday that Ethan Laird, Dylan Levitt and Di’Shon Bernard will all start the match....

Durant, 30, is set to become a free agent next year and the two-time NBA champion is already rumoured to potentially be joining LeBron James at the Lakers, or heading to the New York Knicks. While he said anything could happen, Nash – a former Laker – said he felt Durant would probably extend his time with the Warriors. “I think those are decisions that are impossible to speculate on,” he told a news conference....

James was hurt during the Lakers’ Christmas Day victory over the Golden State Warriors and no timetable has been set for his return to action. Without the four-time MVP, who saw his consecutive games streak end at 156, the team slipped to a 117-116 defeat away to the Sacramento Kings, despite leading by as many as 15 points during the fourth quarter. Bogdan Bogdanovic sealed victory for the Kings with a three-pointer at the buzzer, leaving Lakers head coach Luke Walton to lament the absence of the “best closer” in the NBA....

Yahoo Sports, citing league sources, reported any Lakers plans to visit the White House would depend on several factors. Those include not only revamped COVID-19 protocols, but also whether Biden’s schedule will be clear for Los Angeles’ lone visit to Washington this season. The Lakers will be in D.C. in the second half of the 2020-21 season, but the NBA won’t unveil the second-half schedule until after the season’s first half has concluded in early March....

Los Angeles met with Jason Kidd on Monday according to an ESPN report, which cites unidentified league sources. He apparently met with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and team executive Kurt Rambis at a practice facility in El Segundo, Calif. “If you ever have the opportunity to wear the purple and gold, you can’t turn that down, as a coach, as a player, because they’re all about championships," Kidd told ESPN’s The Jump after he was first rumored to be in the running....

Milwaukee arrived into the game with a loss to Dallas interrupting its 18-game winning streak, but the victory over the Lakers improved the Bucks’ record to 25-4 for the season—the best overall in the NBA—and a five-game lead over the Boston Celtics at the top of the Eastern Conference. The Lakers, meanwhile, suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season, just two days after losing 105-102 in Indianapolis to the Pacers....

In the leadup and coverage of the tournament, he promises no self-serving banter about how Team USA missing the World Cup for the first time since 1986 is really a blessing in disguise. MORE: Who are World Cup referees, and how are they paid? “We are not going to sweep the proverbial elephant in the room under the rug. No. It’s part of the story — that the United States isn’t there,” said Lalas, the former World Cup and MLS star in an interview with Sporting News....

Real remained second in the league table with 14 points, the same as Barcelona, but played a game more than their arch-rivals. Surprisingly, Alaves leaped to third on the LaLiga table, just behind Real with the same number of points. However, either Atletico Madrid or Real Betis have a chance to overtake Real, when they meet each other on Sunday. Also, Barcelona can consolidate their top position with a win against Valencia....

For the second straight summer, the Spanish top flight has lost one of its superstars. Last summer, Neymar shocked the world when departing Barcelona to take up residence in Paris. The world record transfer didn’t affect La Blaugrana, however, as they went on to collect their third league title in four years. This summer, it was Real Madrid’s turn to lose a star player. Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Juventus came somewhat out of the blue even though the player had voiced his doubts about remaining at Los Blancos after lifting a third consecutive Champions League title in May....

His first season, or whatever was left of it, was a good start. However, it was quite clear right from the start that contrary to many people’s expectations, he couldn’t play the same role that Andres Iniesta did. Coutinho’s Barcelona career was starting to take off when a hamstring injury in early November ruled him out for three weeks. That is where the phenomenon Ousmane Dembele came in. Dembele started making immense contributions to the team, mainly owing to his insane speed, skillful dribbling, and ambipedalism....

Last season’s unanimous NFL MVP surprisingly appeared on the injury report on Wednesday and Thursday, missing practice on both days because of a knee issue and then illness. The 3-1 Ravens will face the 1-2-1 Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday, and Harbaugh said that Jackson will be fine to start at QB. “He was 100 percent. He was good,” Harbaugh told reporters of Jackson after Friday’s practice....

Sustainability takes on many forms. It isn’t just zero tailpipe emissions, though that’s the loudest talking point at the moment. The true impact of sustainable business practices stems from product development onto manufacturing and through the end of product’s lifecycle. Lamborghini is concentrating the hardest on the two elements they can directly control: development and manufacturing. Walking around the Lamborghini plant, which was certified CO2 neutral in 2015, it looks like most other vehicle assembly facilities....
