Kane And Son Are Closing In On Drogba And Lampard’s Premier League Record.

Image
Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The Tottenham Hotspur stars combined well to down Burnley on Monday, and are within touching distance of record set by the Chelsea greats Tottenham Hotspur duo of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are fast closing in a Premier League record currently held by Chelsea greats Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard. In a largely toothless outing at Turf Moor on Monday night, Jose Mourinho’s men recorded a 1-0 away win against Burnley. With 14 minutes left to go, South Korea international Son headed in from close range after a fine work from strike partner Kane as Sean Dyche’s men lost their fourth game of the 2020-21 campaign. The pair have now combined for 29 goals in the English topflight – equalling a feat achieved by Manchester City’s David Silva and Sergio Aguero (29) as well as the duo of Thierry Henry and Robert Pires (29). Arsenal’s French connection was a huge part of the Gunners’ most successful period of the English elit...

Image
Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Troopers stopped to help a Virginia man who’d gotten into a traffic crash Sunday afternoon on the Palmetto Expressway near Miami Lakes. A foul odor wafted from the trunk. Inside was the body of a hip-hop artist who went missing over a week ago. Monday afternoon Miami-Dade police detectives arrested the man they believe shot and killed Brian Trotter, 25, who disappeared from Triangle, Virginia, on Oct. 17. Robert Deupree Avery Coltrain, 25, has been charged with second-degree murder and illegal transport of human remains. Coltrain was booked into a Miami-Dade jail on Monday afternoon. Trotter was a former Virginia high-school athlete who was trying to forge a hip-hop career, according to friends and family. His hip-hop name was “Kent Won’t Stop.” He’d been friends with Coltrain for more than a decade — the two played sports together and promoted their music. On Saturday, Oct. 17, Coltrain drove his silver Acura to pic...

MATCHDAY: Real Madrid Heads To Germany After Losing Champions League Start.

Image
Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com A look at what’s happening around the Champions League on Tuesday: GROUP A Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick says Serge Gnabry could return to the starting lineup against Lokomotiv Moscow after an absence blamed on a false positive result in a coronavirus test. Gnabry sat out last week's 4-0 win over Atlético Madrid and the 5-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Bayern lost on its last Champions League visit to Russia in 2016 in a surprise 3-2 defeat to Rostov. Atlético tries to rebound from the loss to Bayern when it hosts Salzburg, with Luis Suárez coming off his fourth goal of the season at the weekend in the Spanish league. GROUP B Real Madrid heads to Germany to play Borussia Mönchengladbach needing to kick-start its Champions League campaign following a 3-2 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk. The last time Madrid played Gladbach away, it lost 5-1 in 1985. Shakhtar hosts Inter Milan with more squad depth than for its surp...

How Barcelona Could Line Up Against Juventus Today In The Champions League.

Image
Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The big matches continue to come thick and fast for Barcelona as night. The trip to Turin - a repeat of the 2015 final - comes just four days after Ronald Koeman's side were beaten 3-1 at home by their bitterest rivals, leaving them with only one point from their last three domestic outings. Barcelona were much more convincing in their opening Champions League group game, though, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in a comfortable win over Ferencvaros. Here, Sports Mole looks at how Koeman could set his side up for Wednesday showdown. Out: Gerard Pique (suspended), Philippe Coutinho (hamstring), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (match fitness), Samuel Umtiti (match fitness) Doubtful: None Barcelona's struggles at the moment are perhaps best summed up by their likely XI for this match - far from the star-studded team sheet we are used to seeing from the five-time European champions. That is particularly true in defence, where Koema...

President Donald Trump Has Begun A Three-State Campaign Blitz After Voting Early In Florida.

Image
He is holding rallies in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin on Saturday as he seeks to make up ground against his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Mr Biden, who holds a steady lead in national polls, is campaigning in Pennsylvania, another key state. Some 57 million votes have already been cast, a record spurred by the pandemic. The Republican president has continued to hold packed rallies despite a new surge in coronavirus infections that is particularly affecting the Midwest - home to several electoral battlegrounds. Speaking in Lumberton, North Carolina on Saturday, Mr Trump said America's coronavirus pandemic had been blown out of proportion and mocked his Democratic rival for making ominous warnings about a bleak winter. In contrast, Mr Biden held a drive-in rally in Bristol, Pennsylvania where he told supporters: "We don't want to become superspreaders." With just 10 days to go until the November 3 election, Joe Biden holds an average eight-point lead in n...

Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard Was Complaining His Team Should Have Been Awarded A Penalty For A First-Half Foul On Cesar Azpilicueta In Saturday's Goalless Draw Att Manchester United.

Image
Blues captain Azpilicueta was hauled to the ground by United skipper Harry Maguire, whose left arm was wrapped tightly around the Spaniard's neck. The incident was reviewed by VAR, but Maguire and United escaped punishment. "I thought it was a clear penalty," Lampard said. "Holding is allowed, but headlocks aren't. "Obviously I didn't see it at the time from where I'm standing. They are hard calls for referees on the pitch, but the VAR was very quick to dismiss it in my opinion. "I think they should have taken time and advised the referee to watch the monitor. If the referee goes to the monitor, he gives a penalty." United, who remain stuck in the bottom half of the table, were at least able to avoid losing a third straight home league game at the start of the season for the first time since 1930. In addition, they can also point to three good saves from Edouard Mendy, two to deny Marcus Rashford, including one in the final minute, an...

The Boss Of Barcelona Coach Ronald Koeman Says The Video Assistant Referee System Seems To Be "Only Used To Make Decisions Against Barca" After Sergio Ramos' Penalty Helped Real Madrid Win El Clasico.

Image
Federico Valverde smashed Real, who had lost their previous two games, into the lead from Karim Benzema's pass. Barcelona's Ansu Fati, 17, levelled from Jordi Alba's cross, becoming the youngest scorer in El Clasico history. Ramos scored from the spot and Luka Modric smashed in a late third. The turning point was a lengthy VAR decision for the Ramos penalty. Referee Juan Martínez Munuera did not spot Clement Lenglet's pull on Ramos' shirt but eventually gave a penalty after viewing it on the screen. Barca had two penalty appeals turned down - for a Raphael Varane challenge on Lionel Messi and a possible Varane handball. "I don't understand VAR, I think it is only used to make decisions against Barca," said Koeman, whose side have only picked up seven points from five games. "You always get shirt tugs like that in the area and I think Ramos makes a foul on Lenglet first. There's a tug of the shirt, but not enough to make him fall behind a...
