Liverpool fans have Trent Alexander-Arnold’s clever play - and Divock Origi’s cool finishing - to thank for securing the Reds’ place in the 2019 Champions League final at the expense of Barcelona. The Premier League side produced a comeback to rival their famous Champions League final win over AC Milan in Istanbul back in 2005 to overturn the Catalan side, who arrived at Anfield boasting a 3-0 lead. With less than an hour played on Merseyside, Liverpool had somehow clawed their way back into the tie, with goals from Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum rendering Barca’s earlier advantage obsolete....
The Russian superstar scored his second consecutive hat trick Saturday during the Washington Capitals’ game against the New York Islanders; in the process, he passed one legend (Mario Lemieux) and tied another (Steve Yzerman) for ninth place on the list with 692 goals. Ovechkin’s 690th and 691st career goals came against Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov.

That was Ovechkin’s career goal No. 685, which officially put him ahead of Selanne — and Ovechkin celebrated appropriately....
The only candidates who qualified to appear on stage in Washington D.C. are former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

The scheduled start was regularly pushed back throughout the day as organisers hoped for an improvement in conditions, before play was officially called off due to inclement weather shortly before 8.30pm local time. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Simona Halep were among the players who were scheduled to get their campaigns under way.

The Warriors first regular-season game at Chase Center ended in a blowout 141-122 loss to the Clippers as they were given an indication of how difficult a 2019-20 season without the departed Kevin Durant and the injured Klay Thompson could be.

About 30 seconds later, Warriors forward Kevin Durant had the ball on the right wing, after the Cavs had already done a Love-Smith switch, with Smith again on McGee. Durant made a move to the basket, and when Smith came out to help, Durant knocked a bounce pass to McGee, who had no Cavalier within six feet of him. Another dunk. The score was 4-0, but it already felt like this would be a particularly potent night for the Warriors offense....

Let’s establish now, with the Warriors at 70 wins and two months to go before the title is decided, that such a claim should be called out for the baloney it is.
