The Gunners blitzed into an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz. David Raya had not been threatened by Viktor Gyokeres or any of the Sporting players. But on 25 minutes, various fireworks, flares and smoke bombs were set off over the Arsenal penalty area. The pyrotechnics were not shown by the TNT Sport cameras but commentator Darren Fletcher referenced them. And he was surprised the referee did not stop play and take the two teams off the field. Videos quickly circulated on social media of the fireworks. The clips showed the explosives being launched out from the stand behind Raya and flashing into bursts of light. Another revealed the magnitude of the green and white smoke wafting across the pitch. Within minutes, clouds covered the pitch in Lisbon. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS One supporter said: "Fireworks and flares set off aimed at Raya and the back four. That's gotta be a ban surely." However, jubilant Arsenal fans inside the ground chanted: "We want more fireworks," as they watched their side put on a spectacular performance. SunSport has contacted Uefa for comment but it is likely the Portuguese club could land in hot water with the authorities over the safety breach. Martinelli turned home with just seven minutes on the clock. And Havertz doubled the visitors' lead on 22 minutes, tapping in after fine work from Thomas Partey and Bukayo Saka. Then Gabriel made it 3-0 with the final touch of the first half, thumping in yet another header from a dangerous inswinging Declan Rice corner. However, Sporting pulled one back immediately after the break through Goncalo Inacio.

There has been more heartbreak for Tory Taylor and the Chicago Bears while Jordan Mailata and the Philadelphia Eagles keep rolling, although the Australian left tackle found himself flattened on one play this week. Plus, plenty of praise for the Australian punters as one landed on injured reserve. Read on for the Aussies in the NFL wrap! Watch an average of 6 games each week during the regular season, plus every game of the NFL Postseason including the Super Bowl, LIVE on ESPN with Kayo. New to Kayo? Start your free trial today > Tory Taylor (Chicago Bears – punter) Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams jokingly told Tory Taylor when Chicago drafted him that he wouldn’t be punting much, having been constantly called on during his time at Iowa. Unfortunately for Taylor, Chicago’s offence hasn’t lived up to expectations, with Williams struggling to navigate the pressure of playing behind a poor offensive line. In turn, the run game has been inconsistent and what looked to be one of the best receiving rooms in the NFL has also struggled to produce. The Bears have looked better since firing offensive co-ordinator Shane Waldron, but on the season as a whole it has still been a challenge for Williams, who has thrown for fewer yards (2,356) than Taylor has punted (2,528). It did turn around in OC Thomas Brown’s first game in his new role, with Taylor only called on to punt twice during the game, landing one inside the 20. Meanwhile, Taylor punted six times for a 48.7-yard average against the Vikings with one inside the 20 and came up with a crucial punt to give the Bears a chance after they failed to get anything going on their opening drive of overtime. Unfortunately Minnesota was able to still work its way into field goal range, condemning Chicago to another heartbreaking loss. Matthew Hayball (New Orleans Saints – punter) After a few weeks the Saints looked like they would be one of the most explosive offences in the NFL but a string of injuries, most notably to their offensive line, saw that quickly fall apart. It also saw punter Matthew Hayball, who beat out fellow Australian Lou Hedley for the starting gig, forced to play much more than New Orleans would have been hoping. The Saints had the bye in Week 12 but finally ended their losing skid the week prior after defeating the Cleveland Browns in a game where Hayball only had to punt three times. Hayball was accurate on all three of his punts though, landing them inside of the 20-yard line for 110 total yards in what is quickly becoming a positive trend for the Australian. He has now placed 27 punts inside the 20-yard line, which ranks second in the league. Hayball, who was drafted by Geelong in 2015 and played 50 VFL games over the next three years, even showed off his pace by reaching a top speed of 32.5 kilometres per hour on a fake punt against Carolina earlier this month. It was the fastest speed by a punter as a ball carrier since Week 10, 2018. “We knew he could run, right? We’d been calling him the Australian flash a little bit,” Saints assistant special teams coach Phil Galiano said. “So that was something we’d been working on and we know that he’s a really good athlete.” Jordan Mailata (Philadelphia Eagles – offensive lineman) Monday’s primetime game was billed as the match-up to decide Defensive Rookie of the Year, with Rams pass rusher Jared Verse and Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell both in action. And it didn’t take long for Verse to make a statement. Unfortunately for the Australian left tackle it was at his expense as Verse swatted the 166-kilogram Mailata away to disrupt an obvious pass play for Philadelphia, who was backed up to a 3rd-and-16 inside the red zone. It wasn’t so much a moment to forget for Mailata as it was the perfect example of just how destructive Verse has been in his rookie season, recording 49 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, a pass breakup, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Mailata had plenty of highlights on Monday, most notably flashing his athleticism to help open up the hole on the inside for Kenneth Gainwell’s touchdown. “Make no mistake about it, this is a tremendous run by Kenny Gainwell. But what I am most impressed by is Jordan Mailata going from left tackle to sealing off the right side of the inside linebacker,” wrote Shane Haff of the Eagles Pin-Pull podcast on X. “That’s just ridiculous.” Mailata had been sidelined for a month after landing on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury but made his return against the Commanders in Week 11. Mitch Wishnowsky (San Francisco 49ers – punter) Wishnowsky used to be one of the more underrated weapons in a San Francisco team that was hardly short of game-changing options, although this season that seemed to change. The Australian, who was an expert for pinning opposition teams deep in their own territory, was struggling to have the same impact this season. A lingering back injury may explain Wishnowsky’s underwhelming start to the season though, with the 49ers placing the Australian on injured reserve earlier this month. It means Wishnowsky will miss at least four games, with the punter to return in Week 15 against the Rams at the earliest. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Wishnowsky had been “bothered” by the back injury earlier in the year training camp, adding it had been “pretty bad” before “flaring up” again recently. Daniel Faalele (Baltimore Ravens – offensive lineman) The Ravens’ fourth-rounder from 2022 showed promise in Baltimore’s key Monday Night Football victory over the LA Chargers, clearing the way for multiple big runs to help Baltimore establish a winning lead in the second half. The most notable? Clearing the way for bulldozing Baltimore running back Derrick Henry to pick up 27 yards on a 4th-and-1 scamper late in the third quarter. Faalele, the right guard, pulled left to open a big lane for Henry to pick up key yardage and move the chains. A pivotal moment in the game with the Ravens leading just 17-16, the crucial conversion — while still in their own territory — was later capped by a Lamar Jackson touchdown pass early in the fourth to open up a seven-point lead. The athleticism of the former University of Minnesota lineman is one of his best traits — once he gets out in open space, there isn’t a lot that smaller defensive backs can do to stop him in his tracks. And combined with the fact the ball is usually in the hands of Henry or Jackson; it’s a recipe for disaster for opposition defences. The progress of the Melbourne product hasn’t been lost on viewers, including former NFL head coach Jon Gruden, who in early November praised Faalele’s footwork after the Ravens bested division rivals Cincinnati. “He is fun to watch. He’s as big a right guard as you will see. He’s moving his feet better and Lamar Jackson’s had a lot of time to throw, and a lot of that is because Faalele is moving his feet better,” Gruden said . Michael D ickson (Seattle Seahawks – punter) It was a dour affair between Seattle and Arizona but that meant Michael Dickson’s booming punts were all the more important in flipping field position and giving the Seahawks the advantage. Dickson pinned the Cardinals behind the 20-yard line four times on Monday, downing them at the three, six, nine and 20-yard line. Going into the game, Dickson’s 48.1 yard punt average ranked second in NFL history. Monday’s win was Seattle’s second-straight after dropping two in a row against the Bills and the Rams. Dickson averaged 61.3 yards in the blowout loss to Buffalo while his leg helped keep Seattle in the game against Los Angeles before a Demarcus Robinson touchdown sealed an overtime win for the Rams. Dickson averaged 47.2 yards per punt in that game.Just five weeks remain in the 2024 regular season in the NFL , and we're going to be treated to some high-stakes football down the stretch. That begins this week where there are several notable matchups that have the ability to shake up the playoff race, including Thursday night's NFC North showdown between the Packers and Lions . Before we get to kick off those games, however, teams across the league need to take the practice field and, in conjunction with preparing for these games, also need to evaluate the health of their roster. With that in mind, let's take our first glimpse of every team's injury report entering the week. All sports betting odds via DraftKings Sportsbook .

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — After snapping a two-game losing streak, Iowa State still has a chance to play for a Big 12 title. But the No. 22 Cyclones cannot afford to lose against Utah on Saturday. Beating a Utes team mired in a six-game losing streak will be harder than it appears at first glance. Utah (4-6, 1-6 Big 12) has not scored more than 24 points against any Big 12 opponent this season. But the Utes are also one of the toughest defensive teams in the league. Coming into Saturday’s game, Utah leads the Big 12 in third-down defense and first-down defense. The Utes rank second in the league in red zone defense (78.3%) and total defense (317.2 yards per game). "This is, bar none, the best defense we’ll play,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “Man, you just look at this football team and they’re gritty, tough. They’ve been through heck and back with injuries and they’ve been right there to win all these football games.” The Cyclones (8-2, 5-2, No. 22 CFP) are no defensive pushovers themselves. Iowa State allows 18.6 points per game, tops among Big 12 teams. Part of that stinginess comes from a stout pass defense. Four opponents have passed for fewer than 100 yards against the Cyclones, who are yielding just 153.4 yards through the air per game. For a Utah team needing a win to avoid its first losing season since 2013, moving the ball against Iowa State will be a formidable task. “They’re battling for a spot in the conference championship game, so we’re going to get everything they have,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. Rocco Becht has been a model of consistency for Iowa State over the past two seasons, throwing at least one TD pass in a school-record 14 straight games. Now Becht is closing in on another milestone. He needs just 187 passing yards Saturday to become the fifth Cyclones quarterback to pass for 6,000 career yards. Becht is third in the Big 12 with 2,628 passing yards this season and has thrown for at least 200 yards in six consecutive games. One of Becht’s favorite targets, Jaylin Noel, needs to accumulate just 85 yards against Utah to surpass 1,000 receiving yards this season. Noel ranks third among Big 12 receivers with 935 yards and has accumulated 150 or more receiving yards in two of his last four games. Isaac Wilson regained his role as Utah’s starting quarterback ahead of the Utes’ 49-24 loss to Colorado after Brandon Rose suffered a season-ending foot injury. Wilson battled the flu last week but threw for 236 yards against the Buffaloes — marking his fourth career 200-yard game — and two touchdowns. He also tallied a season-high three interceptions. Still, Whittingham thought Wilson’s timing and decision-making improved as the game progressed and said the freshman is putting in extra work between games and practices to get better. “He comes in on his own and watches a ton of film,” Whittingham said. “We’re doing everything we can and he’s doing everything he can to continue to develop and see things quicker.” Iowa State nose tackle J.R. Singleton injured his arm during the Cyclones' 34-17 win over Cincinnati and is questionable for Saturday. He did not practice earlier in the week. Singleton has started 18 straight games and has been a reliable anchor on the defensive line, with a team-high 4.0 sacks this season. “We were really worried it was going to be season-ending,” Campbell said. “It’s not, so that’s a huge win for JR and certainly a huge win for Iowa State.” Micah Bernard needs just 120 rushing yards on Saturday to become the 21st 1,000-yard rusher for Utah. Bernard has enjoyed a breakout season after missing 11 games with an eye injury a year ago. He has tallied four 100-yard games while rushing for a career-high 880 yards.

MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — Amarion Dickerson had 27 points and 15 rebounds to help Robert Morris hold off Northern Kentucky 97-93 in triple overtime on Sunday. Dickerson blocked five shots and had three steals for the Colonials (9-5, 1-2 Horizon League). Sophomore Alvaro Folgueiras scored 21 points and added a career-high 19 rebounds and six assists.

Randall Pettus II had 17 points. The Norse saw a five-game win streak come to an end. Dickerson's dunk gave Robert Morris a 94-92 lead with 26 seconds left in the third OT. Dilen Miller made two free throws with 3 seconds left to wrap up the victory. Josh Dilling made the second of two free throws with 8 seconds left for the Norse, forcing a second OT tied at 80. Wells hit a 3-pointer with 2:05 left and neither team scored after that, forcing the third OT tied at 86. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Steelworkers union (USW) officials in both Canada and the United States today expressed their concern with President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement that he would impose a blanket 25% tariff on goods from Canada imported into the United States. “If applied, these extraordinary tariffs leveled on Canada would dramatically harm workers in both our countries,” said USW International President David McCall. “There is no question that we must address the holes in our global trading system, but Canada is not the problem.” USW leaders further noted that the Canadian and U.S. economies are deeply integrated, and Canada recently moved to better align with U.S. policies to help stem the flow of unfairly traded products making their way into North America. Canada is also a unique national security partner. “There is absolutely no doubt that working families are the first to get hurt by unfair trade practices, including global overcapacity in key sectors,” said USW Canadian National Director Marty Warren. “The answer, however, is to work together as allies on sensible trade policies that will allow us to contain bad actors like China.” “Our union in both the United States and Canada has been on the front lines for decades fighting for worker-forward trade policies that keep our critical supply chains secure,” said McCall. “Now, rather than taking a step back, we must capitalize on our current momentum in order to create lasting change.” About the United Steelworkers union: The USW represents 225,000 members in nearly every economic sector across Canada and is the largest private-sector union in North America, with 850,000 members in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean. Each year, thousands of workers choose to join the USW because of the union’s strong track record in creating healthier, safer and more respectful workplaces and negotiating better working conditions and fairer compensation – including good wages, benefits and pensions.

Rece Davis Doesn't Hesitate When Naming the Best Team in the Big 12

The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) and the Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute (DA-PhilRice) signed an agreement for collaborative effort to address agricultural drought in the Philippines. The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that was signed on December 16 at the PhilSA Office in Quezon City aims to create crop-specific drought maps from satellite data, with a focus on rice. PhilSA will leverage rice maps and field data from the DA-PhilRice to generate rice-specific drought maps, which will provide valuable insights for agricultural planning and resilience. The signing of the agreement allows efficient data sharing between the two agencies for enhanced drought mitigation. PhilSA Deputy Director General for Space Science and Technology Dr. Gay Jane P. Perez said in her message the momentous step was in the use of space data for addressing agricultural drought concerns that has been in development for over a decade. It started with the Drought and Crop Assessment and Forecasting project co-implemented by the University of the Philippines Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, and DA-Bureau of Soils and Water Management, and now being operationalized through PhilSA. “We are celebrating partnership. This collaboration with PhilRice underpins the importance of integrating satellite and ground data, emphasizing how ground data is used to validate, calibrate, and enhance the accuracy of satellite-derived insights and models,” Perez said. Dr. Eduardo Jimmy Quilang, OIC of the PhilRice Office of the Deputy Director for Research and Philippine Rice Information System (PRiSM) project leader, stated the importance of this partnership with PhilSA for the agricultural sector’s benefit. “We cannot realize our goals, our dreams, our mission, our vision alone. Our research for development is heavily partnership-based. That’s why right now we are more than happy to sign our memorandum of agreement—sharing what we have and complementing what you are doing,” Quilang said. The agreement provides a platform to maximize the impact of PhilSA’s Satellite Mission Analysis, Planning, Product Enhancement and Development project, which aims to monitor, predict, and mitigate drought impacts on agriculture through space-based technologies. It also signifies further enhancement of the country’s resilience to the impacts of drought on agriculture. The MOA was signed by PhilRice Executive Director Dr. John De Leon and PhilSA Deputy Director General Denis Villorente (representing PhilSA Director General Joel Joseph S. Marciano Jr.). Perez and Director Ariel C. Blanco served as witnesses for PhilSA, while Quilang and PRiSM Assistant Unit Head Mary Rose Mabalay (representing PRiSM Unit Head Jovino De Dios) served as witnesses for PhilRice. PhilSA is the Philippines’ government agency addressing all national issues and activities related to space S&T applications. It was created under Republic Act 11363, or the Philippine Space Act. PhilRice is a government corporate entity under the Agriculture department created through Executive Order 1061 to develop high-yielding and cost-reducing technologies for rice.

FOR most visitors to York its main attractions - York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and the National Railway Museum - are top of the must-see list. But the historic city harbours lesser-known sights which will surprise and thrill anyone seeking them out. Holgate Windmill is one of them. In its incongruous setting on a hilltop among suburban semi-detached homes, the location of the working structure is in itself interesting. The windmill sits on a small roundabout - once named best in Britain by the Roundabout Appreciation Society. Towering 45ft skywards, the four-storey, Grade ll-listed structure was built in 1770 by George Waud, a miller from Selby. In those days the skyline was dotted with windmills, with about 200 in York and the surrounding area. Today it is Yorkshire's only working windmill and the oldest five-sailed windmill in the country. Visitors enter by one of two doors which would originally have allowed millers to come and go when a sail was positioned across one of them. Inside the wooden interior your eye is drawn upwards towards a number of cast iron wheels and cogs - the ‘tentering’ gear for the millstones above. This allows the miller to set the exact gap required between the two surfaces of the millstones. We visited on a milling day, when volunteers were producing flour to transport to local bakeries. “The local primary school - Acomb Primary - also uses our flour to make food such as crumbles, biscuits and pizzas,” says volunteer Lesley Jones, who is showing my husband and me around. “We are very much part of the community. Local children coming to visit often take some flour home to cook with.” On a calm day, the process is powered by electricity. In suitable conditions wind power is used to turn the sails. We watched as miller Steve Potts - who is also secretary of the Holgate Windmill Preservation Society - carefully made adjustments and checked the flour for consistency. “It can go from fine to coarse,” he says. “The bottom stone stays still while the top one moves round, with small weights in between.” In days gone the small grooves on the millstones would have been re-cut , or ‘dressed’ by mill dressers using chisels, every three to six months. “We do it every three years,” says Steve. The mill produces strong wholemeal wheat flour, coarse strong wholemeal wheat flour, strong wholemeal spelt flour and wholemeal rye flour. The regular rhythm of the workings felt like beating heart of the building as we climbed a ladder to the Stone Floor. The mill has four pairs of millstones - a high number for such a small mill. “You get to know the sounds of the mill, so if something goes wrong you know straight away,” says Lesley. “When the caps turns there’s a creaking noise, and if the wind is in the right direction it makes a musical, humming sound.” Holgate Windmill worked continuously between 1770 and 1933. From then it stood empty and decaying until the Holgate Windmill Preservation Society was formed in 2001. After more than a decade of fundraising a new set of sails was hoisted into place in December 2011. The restoration was completed in 2012. The mill is run by volunteers. “They come from all over Yorkshire including Leeds, Wetherby, Knaresborough and Richmond," says Lesley. A millwright, Dave, visits monthly to carry out maintenance. Says volunteer Alison Leadbetter: “It’s like the Fourth Bridge - the sails can rot at the point where the shutters fix into place. Dave goes up and down tapping, listening for signs of rot. We fill the wood or replace it with another piece.” We climb to the second floor - the Bin Floor - where grain bins sit. There’s wall-mounted information; exhibitions are also held here. Next is the Dust Floor, where grain is stored in sacks. The mill’s main drive shaft is here - a huge piece of pine tree trunk dating back to 1770. “It may have been a ship’s mast,” says Lesley. From this floor visitors can look up into the windmill’s cap. Young children will enjoy seeking out the many toy rats dotted about the mill - a nod to the days when the rodents were a common sight. A model terrier and a toy cat - likely rat catchers of the times - can be spotted. The views from the mill are stunning, from the city to the White Horse in Kilburn. During Covid the demand for flour was such that the mill went into overdrive to keep up. “We had never sold so much. Queues stretched right down the road. We got through a year’s grain in three months - we were milling about four or five times a week,” says Alison. A gift shop stocks souvenirs including guide books, greeting cards, tea towels and, of course, flour. There’s a toilet too. *holgatewindmill.org; Holgate Windmill, Windmill Rise, Holgate, York, YO26 4TX Open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning from 10am to 12 noon.
