Lazio are seemingly in the market for another striker as they continue to monitor free agents Mauro Icardi and Joselu.
The Biancocelesti announced Andrea Pinamonti's arrival on Friday, but with Petar Ratkov reportedly on his way to joining Levante, and Boulaye Dia said to be close to Stade Rennais, a second new centre-forward could be required at Gennaro Gattuso's court.
In recent weeks, Icardi has been occasionally linked with the Italian capital side. The former Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain bomber has been unattached since leaving Galatasaray in June. On Monday, Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla revealed that Lazio have launched a new attempt to recruit the 33-year-old over the past few days, but have yet to receive a definitive answer.
In an interview with Sky Sport Italia (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Icardi's lawyer, Letterio Pino, confirmed the Aquile's interest in his client.
We're evaluating the best plan with Mauro, a lifestyle plan, not a financial one. Mauro wants to choose a beautiful city and a strong club. Lazio is actively pursuing him, and it's an option we're considering.

The days of cakewalks for the U.S. women's basketball team are over.
Anyone shrugging at the news A'ja Wilson will not play at the upcoming FIBA World Cup, ***** uming the Americans are so loaded with talent they won't miss the greatest player on the planet, hasn't been paying attention. The world has caught up to the U.S. women and, even with a roster of All-Stars, the World Cup is going to offer a glimpse for players and fans alike of what's in store at the Los Angeles Olympics.
The World Cup begins Friday, Sept. 4, in Berlin, Germany, with the U.S. playing 2022 silver medalist China.
For seemingly forever, the U.S. women have dominated the international game. They've won an unprecedented eight consecutive Olympic gold medals, and nine of the last 12 World Cups. The last game they lost at the Olympics or World Cup — not the ***** le, just a game — was back in 2006, before Caitlin Clark had even started grade school.
Most of the U.S. women's wins have come easily. Games that were over by halftime. Games that were even bigger blowouts than the double-digit victory margins indicated.

Rumer Willis has filed an emergency custody order, requesting that her ex-boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, continue to have supervised visitation with their 3-year-old daughter.
According to court documents obtained by People and E! News, 38-year-old Willis filed an emergency custody order to request that a judge stop the suspension of supervised visitation, claiming Thomas has repeatedly violated custody orders and made "unsafe decisions" regarding their daughter, Louetta.

By Mehmet Emin Caliskan
KYRENIA, Cyprus, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Ayten Bicer felt her 12-year-old daughter slip from her hands and disappear as a ferry capsized off northern Cyprus on Sunday, killing at least eight people.
Her daughter Miray, and 6-year-old son Mehmet Asaf, ‌were among 20 people still missing on Monday as search teams looked for survivors in waters more than 500 metres (1,640 feet) ‌deep.
"She was saying, 'Don't let go'. And I didn't let go of my daughter. I swear, I didn't let her go," Ayten Bicer sobbed.
A suitcase fell on top of her, forcing the girl from her grasp. The mother caught hold of the daughter's foot, but her shoes, coated in engine oil from the overturned vessel, slipped through her hands.

A 17-year-old North Carolina girl who recorded a livestream of a shooting that killed three people at a San Diego mosque and disseminated the attackers' white-supremacist writings has been charged with murder by aiding and abetting, a district attorney said Monday.
Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill said at a news conference in Winston-Salem that the girl, whose name was not mentioned during the news conference, was arrested last week. On Monday, just before she was due to begin the school year, a grand jury indicted her on three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy.
Under North Carolina law, the aiding-and-abetting charges carry the same penalties as if the girl had committed the attack herself, O'Neill said.
"The individual here, locally, was the person who was recording the livestream," O'Neill said. "She disseminated that information and she published their manifesto."
Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, stormed the Islamic Center on May 18 before being driven back outside by a security guard who exchanged gunfire with them as he initiated a lockdown, helping to protect 140 children who were just steps away.

There are no transgender women actually attempting to play in the WNBA–Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White don't count–but Julie Tetart is coming off a reportedly dominant campaign for Monaco Basket **** ociation in France's Ligue Féminine 2.
Tetart averaged 21.2 points and 20.2 rebounds per game during the 2025-26 season, leading the league in both categories. Two of Tetart's teammates recently sat down for an interview with the French podcast "Club Five," during which they compared facing the 6-foot-3 forward, who is listed at 195 pounds.
Martina Bestagno, a 6-foot-3 center, compared her experience "really big players such as Brittney Griner (6-foot-9, 219 pounds) and Isabelle Yacoubou (6-foot-3, 220-229 pounds)" to Tetart and said that while Griner and Yacoubou are "probably bigger" than the 34-year-old transgender standout, size isn't all that matters.
"It's not just the size, it's the combination of size and strength," Bestagno said. "That is something that I never went against it before. Of course, we're playing with her, but during the week, you're going against her in practice and it's something that I never had to face before. I was blown away by the difference talking about strength. The difference is huge."
Sara Crudo, a 6-foot-1 forward who appeared alongside Bestagno, said facing Tetart is "like a train that is coming into you."

Meanwhile, transfer insider Sacha Tavolieri claims that Dortmund are confident of completing a deal for Nwaneri before Tuesday's deadline.

It has been a busy day in terms of transfer talk surrounding Manchester City. At the beginning of today, it seemed that City would pursue a move to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool. However, that move has fallen through, which has seen City shift their focus onto other targets. Everton's versatile winger Iliman Ndiaye is now the player that Manchester City want to add more quality and depth to their attack. It is now reported that City have landed the Senegalese international.
David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Manchester City and Everton are close to reaching an agreement that will see Iliman Ndiaye become a City player. Ornstein reports that City and Everton are in the process of finalising a total package worth £65 million for the Senegalese winger.
Manchester City look to have found the attacker they needed to cover the loss of Omar Marmoush. Iliman Ndiaye will be the player tasked with adding a different dimension to Manchester City's attack. As a player, Ndiaye will add tremendous ability in one-on-one situations to the City attack. Ndiaye excels at taking on defenders and his strong dribbling ability is a key ***** et to his play. That is a quality that Enzo Maresca wants in his wingers. Ndiaye will bring that in spades as the statistics below illustrate.
On top of his ability to beat a man with his dribbling, Iliman Ndiaye can play on either wing or through the middle. That versatility will be a weapon that Maresca will tap into. Also, Iliman Ndiaye looks to be a player who is ready to make the jump up to a club like City. He has thrived and grown playing at Sheffield United and Everton in England. Now his big move has come and it will be fascinating to see how Ndiaye fares as a City player.
Manchester City have seemingly got the attacking player they desperately needed in Iliman Ndiaye. Everton's Senegalese international will add a different element and dimension to Manchester City's attacking play. Also, City's pivot from seemingly moving to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool to Iliman Ndiaye has come off. A busy day has finally reached a conclusion and the City squad will be stronger with the addition of Iliman Ndiaye.

Texas A&M will kick off the 2026 season against Missouri State on Saturday night, as coach Mike Elko's third year at the helm is expected to be his toughest, largely because of the new nine-game SEC schedule that includes road tests against LSU, Missouri, Alabama, South Carolina, and Oklahoma. However, after making the College Football Playoff last season, doubting the Aggies is a pointless exercise.
Through 16 preseason practices, Elko's revamped roster is one of the deepest in the SEC, even after 15 starters, including a record 10 players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, departed this offseason.
However, among the 17 transfer portal additions, combined with the 2026 signing class, Elko is confident that several positions have been upgraded, while redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed has seemingly taken the next step, based on what we witnessed during fall camp.
To avoid repeating the same information about Texas A&M's roster, the start of the 2026 season means looking ahead to SEC play after the Aggies face Missouri State and Arizona State in Kyle Field, needing to get off to a hot start before facing the brutal second half of the schedule.
According to ESPN's updated FPI predictions for all 12 of the Aggies' regular season games, Texas A&M is predicted to finish 9-3, matching my Aggies Wire contributors Jarrett Johnson and Dylan Flippo, who feel a 9-3 finish is more realistic. Ahead of Saturday's season opener, here are the updated FPI predictions for Texas A&M's 2026 season.

Advertisements will be going up this season at Michigan Stadium. Google Gemini, Meijer, and Coca-Cola will be featured on Michigan's padded end zone walls, as well as on the jumbotron.
For the first time, Michigan is adding limited ads around its stadium, beginning this season.

Coca-Cola, Meijer and Google's AI chatbot, Gemini, are the initial partners. pic.twitter.com/sxqi6tXbBt
Earlier this week, we asked fans if they loved or hated ads going up inside Michigan Stadium. The results are in, and fans aren't liking the changes.
75% of fans hate that there are now advertisements in Michigan Stadium, while 25% love them.
The immediate hate is understandable from a fanbase so rich in tradition. Ads are new to Michigan Stadium, and there's a natural dislike of change. However, new revenue streams are needed with the current nature of college football and all the money it takes via NIL to field a competitive team.

The New England Patriots were quite busy over the weekend, making 42 combined transactions to go from previously 91 to 53 players on their active roster. A majority of those moves were expected to happen, but the team of head coach Mike Vrabel nonetheless managed to pull off some minor surprises.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the moves that can be qualified as surprises through the lens of our established winners and losers format. It would be easy to label the 53 men on the active roster as winners and the rest as losers, but every situation is different and the reality much more nuanced than simply asking who is in or out.
QB Behren Morton: With Drake Maye a franchise-caliber player and Tommy DeVito an able and experienced backup, the top of the Patriots' quarterback depth chart was set in stone throughout the summer. The question was whether or not Morton had done enough to warrant being kept as one of the 53 players on the roster. Turns out he had. Despite some shortcomings elsewhere on the team, he made it through cutdown day as QB3 and the projected emergency option on game day.
OT Dametrious Crownover: Shortly before the cutdown deadline at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, the Patriots made a trade with the Vikings to bring in versatile offensive lineman Walter Rouse, a player capable of lining up at both tackle and guard. And yet, despite his presence, the team decided to keep four pure tackles on the initial 53. Three of those — Will Campbell, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu — were set in stone to begin with, but Crownover's position seemed less secure with Rouse in the mix. However, he seemingly had nothing to worry about and done enough over the summer to secure a roster spot in lieu of nominal OT4 Marcus Bryant.
ED Quintayvious Hutchins: The defensive edge had been in the spotlight going back to the offseason, and it remains a question at this point as well. Through the cutdown deadline, however, the Patriots opted to go with four players, Hutchins among them. His inclusion over fellow edges Bradyn Swinson and Jesse Luketa might have come surprisingly, but the seventh-round draft pick has developed nicely over the summer to make the pair expendable.

Croke Park's storied history contains some of Irish sport's most seminal moments.
Primarily a stadium for Gaelic games, there have been occasions when other sports graced the hallowed turf and on 19 July 1972, punches replaced points as Muhammad Ali took on Al 'Blue' Lewis.
When Katie Taylor makes her final career ringwalk on Saturday with the undisputed light-welterweight crown on offer against Flora Pili, 54 years will have passed since 'The Greatest' starred at the since redeveloped venue.
While Ali was the main attraction in 1972, it was Belfast's Paddy Maguire who boxed last on that balmy Wednesday evening, coming through on points against France's Guy Caudron.
"It's hard to believe it has taken so long for boxing to return to Croke Park," Maguire told BBC Sport NI.

NEW YORK — Novak Djokovic, despite being 39 years old, had as good a chance as anyone to make a deep run at the US Open and finally capture that still elusive 25th Grand Slam ****** le.
On center stage at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where he has captured four US Open championships, including his last Grand Slam triumph in 2023, the greatest men's Grand Slam winner in history looked lethargic, moping around, taking pills, throwing up, walking as slowly as he could to the sideline, and was sometimes downright disinterested, against Mariano Navone, and was stunned in the first round, 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, snapping a 78 first-round Grand Slam match winning streak and bringing a stunning, quick end to his tournament with the questions again if he has much left in the tank.
Djokovic's opening-round exit was the first at a Grand Slam since the Australian Open in 2006, a tournament he would go on to win 10 times. It's also his first loss in the two rounds at the US Open, having won his previous 37 such matches.
The four-hour, 36-minute first-round match finally ended when the fourth-seeded Djokovic's weak return across the net was returned and could do nothing to stop it.
For the first 30 minutes, Djokovic certainly looked the part of a player who would make quick work of the No. 49-ranked player in the world, sprinting out to a 3-0 and 4-1 lead in the first set, before falling apart under a hail of sloppy play, piling up the unforced errors seemingly on every return.

For the Red Sox, this weekend offered a tantalizing opportunity: Take three out of four in the Bronx against the Yankees, and Boston would secure the season tiebreaker and leap its rival in the standings. It would've been a fulfilling culmination of sorts for a club that was, just a few months ago, very down and incredibly out.
Instead, the Sox were outplayed and outclassed in a disappointing series loss that likely complicates their path to postseason glory. An ugly 16-1 drubbing on Sunday, in which infielder Andruw Monasterio had to throw the ninth inning, was the frustrating cherry on the **** mer sundae in which the Yankees took three out of four. For New York, it was a reassuring result, one that further solidified the current AL East pecking order.
The AL East-leading Rays swept the Padres this weekend, pushing their division lead to 4.5 games over New York. That leaves the Yankees atop the wild-card race, despite having the second-best record in the American League. They're now four games clear of Boston, which is five games safe of the next-closest club in the wild-card race.
Yes, there's still a month or so of games to play. But the playoff picture is coming into focus, with this weekend's result making a Yankees-Red Sox wild-card rematch a very, very likely outcome.
Last postseason, Cam Schlittler elevated himself from nice story to world-beater with a masterful, eight-inning, 12-strikeout performance against the Red Sox in AL wild-card Game 3. Less than a year later, the Massachusetts kid has evolved into a co-front-runner for the AL Cy Young Award alongside Toronto's Dylan Cease. On Friday against his boyhood team, Schlittler further reinforced his awards case with six brilliant shutout innings in a nailbiting 1-0 Boston victory. It was a reminder that, in a rivalry overflowing with accomplished hurlers, Schlittler is top of the heap right now.

Jordyn Woods has hit back after fans asked why Jaden Smith was seemingly in her bridal party.
The newlywed explained she and Will Smith's son have been friends since they were babies.
After fans reacted to photographs of 28-year-old Jordyn's wedding to New York Knicks basketballer Karl-Anthony Towns, 30, the influencer and entrepreneur took to social media with a full explanation.
Although Jaden was not an official member of Jordyn's all-female bridal party, he was very much part of the experience, leading some fans to express surprise at the actor's level of involvement.
"Why is Jaden with all of the girls? And at the bridal shower? And helping Karl with his shoes?" Jordyn wrote in a caption to a TikTok video montage featuring childhood snapshots of herself with Jaden, also 28, before explaining she and Jaden had been close friends for their entire lives.
"Because he's never missed an important moment in my life," she wrote.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Six children and seven women were released by a gang in Haiti that had kidnapped more than 50 people after launching a deadly attack on a community near the capital, Port-au-Prince, nearly a week ago, according to UNICEF.
The United Nations children's agency said late Friday that among those released are three children under the age of 2, a 7-year-old and two teenage girls.
"This release offers a rare moment of hope amid the violence threatening children in Haiti," said Yannig Dussart, UNICEF's deputy representative in Haiti. "The Kenscoff abduction was not an isolated incident but another stark reminder of the scale and frequency of attacks on children across the country."
UNICEF said it worked with community leaders to help secure the release of the women and children. It wasn't immediately clear if they needed medical treatment, and whether there are more women and children being held.
While individual kidnappings in Haiti are commonplace, mass abductions are more unusual. The outcomes vary: Some people are released without a ransom, while others are killed despite multiple ransoms being paid.

The Seattle Seahawks opted to keep just the three running backs during their cut down to their initial 53-man roster on Sunday. Jadarian Price, George Holani, and Emanuel Wilson will be the trio for the early portion of the season, all while Zach Charbonnet recovers from his ACL surgery.
As expected, the Seahawks kept Charbonnet on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the regular season. He will have to miss a minimum of four games before he's eligible to return, so the earliest he could make his debut is Week 5 versus the San Francisco 49ers. It's worth noting, however, that Week 5 and 6 is a Sunday-Thursday short week, so if they want to be safe then his debut could be Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
One thing to note regarding Charbonnet's PUP status is an NFL rule change enacted this season. Charbonnet, whose offseason recovery has seemingly gone smoothly, can have his 21-day practice window activated after the second regular season game is completed. Previously, a practice window couldn't be opened until after the four games were up, so if Charbonnet could be ready to return to practice as early as Week 3.
There's no rush to have Charbonnet available for that 49ers game, but it'd be a full circle moment if his first game back is against the same opponent he scored the only touchdown against in the de facto NFC West ***** le showdown, as well as the same foe in which his season cruelly ended.

There was a very familiar face back at practice on Sunday, and we're not talking about Puka Nacua. Aaron Donald, who announced his return to the NFL before final roster cuts, was on the practice field for the first time since retiring after the 2023 season.
The Rams are working him back into the picture along the defensive line with less than two weeks to go until the season opener. For a guy who's always stayed in shape, it seemingly shouldn't take too long for him to be game-ready, but Sean McVay isn't going to put any timelines on things.
He told reporters after practice on Sunday that the team is going to take it one day at a time with Donald, ramping things up as the season approaches. So will he play in Week 1 against the 49ers? That's to be determined, McVay suggests.
"Good to be able to get Aaron back into the mix," McVay said. "You guys know how close we are and there's been a lot of dialogue that we've had and excited to be able to just take it a day at a time. I'm not going to talk about any sort of plans. It's going to be a day at a time for us. What does that mean for Australia? The first step was, all right, if you're coming back, let's do that, let's get you on the practice field, let's get you acclimated to your teammates, to your coaches, and then we'll see what that ramp-up period looks like, whether or not he's available or whether or not we think it's best to be able to play him in Australia. I think the best way to do it is to take it one day at a time, but we're obviously excited to be able to have him back."
On Sunday, Donald went through individual drills with the defensive linemen before heading back to the locker room, Gary Klein of the LA Times reports. That's not surprising with this being his first practice back.

Scott Wolf has shared his support after his estranged wife, Kelley, issued an emotional apology for her actions during their marriage.
The Party of Five actor commented on Kelley's emotional Instagram statement amid their ongoing divorce battle.
Scott and Kelley announced in June 2025 that they had separated after 21 years of marriage, per Us Weekly. The source reported that the actor was temporarily granted sole custody of the couple's three children while Kelley was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold.
Months later, Scott was granted a temporary protective order after Kelley allegedly shared his phone number via social media. She was later arrested in her Utah home on suspicion of electronic communication harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information.
Earlier that week, she seemingly confronted her husband in an Instagram story, writing, "Scott: Send the kids now!!! No more games. This is war," according to Page Six. "Last chance and then I go to the press."

Harry Styles appears to have had a little fun with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift's recent wedding to Travis Kelce.
During his Saturday night performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the 32-year-old singer made a playful reference to the venue's connection to the newlyweds.
While wrapping up his show as part of his residency at the iconic arena, Styles pointed out that Madison Square Garden is the home of the New York Knicks.
"And they also do weddings," he added with a cheeky grin, according to fan-captured footage from the concert.
The comment seemingly marked Styles' first public acknowledgment of Swift's marriage to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

Prince Jackson stepped out in Las Vegas over the weekend to honor his late father, Michael Jackson, on what would have been the King of Pop's 68th birthday.
On Saturday, the 29-year-old made a rare public appearance at Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE show. In video footage obtained by Page Six, Prince joined a crowd of fans in a birthday tribute, raising his hand on the count of three before everyone shouted, "Happy birthday, Michael!"
Prince kept his look casual for the outing, sporting a black baseball cap backward with a black shirt. He also appeared to be in good spirits as he mingled with fans, chatted with attendees and seemingly signed autographs.
Michael welcomed three children during his life: Prince, daughter Paris Jackson, 28, and youngest son Bigi Jackson, 24.
Prince and Paris were born to Michael and his former wife, Debbie Rowe. The couple married in 1996 before ending their marriage three years later in 1999.

Keke Palmer typically stays out of trouble, but her latest Instagram post has drawn mixed reactions online. While celebrating her birthday, the "True Jackson, VP" actress shared a carousel of photos, including one of her posing with Diddy's sons, King and Justin Combs. In the caption, Palmer shared a heartwarming message, thanking them, along with others, for being there during some of her most precious milestones.

"Life is too short not to be in community, I don't need a reason to celebrate with my folks but a birthday will always remind you to show grace and gratitude for where you come from and where you've been, most importantly who you are today. Thankful to God! Another year," she finished.
Palmer's photo caught the attention of her followers, with several taking to the comments to weigh in on her apparent connection to the Combs family.

Florida State football commenced the 2026 season with a home opener at Doak S. Campbell Stadium against the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday, Aug. 29., where the Seminoles defeated the Aggies 34-17 in a roller coaster of a performance.
FSU started the game on defense after losing the coin toss. Despite the Aggies gaining some ground early on, the defense held strong. The crowd erupted after senior defensive back Quindarrius Jones intercepted a throw in the end zone to put the 'Noles on offense.
Following the turnover, the Garnet and Gold, led by fifth year quarterback Ashton Daniels, engineered a strong drive that brought them into the red zone. However, after Daniels was sacked on third and goal, Florida State was forced to settle for a field goal from senior kicker Gabe Panikowski to take an early 3-0 lead.
Later on in the first quarter, a screen pass from Daniels to senior running back Samuel Singleton Jr. set the Seminoles up inside the New Mexico State 10-yard line once again.
On third down, Daniels scored his first touchdown of the season as he evaded the blitz to give FSU a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. However, New Mexico State bounced back with a touchdown of their own as New Mexico State junior quarterback Trey Hedden connected with senior receiver Brodie Malone-Bradford to cut the Aggies' deficit to three.

The FSU Seminoles beat the New Mexico State Aggies 34-17 to start the season, which means one Florida State player was given the honor of breaking the rock after the game. There was a clear choice after the game, with Samuel Singleton Jr. being chosen after an excellent game.
He showcased his ability to affect the game in multiple ways, making explosive plays as a runner, receiver, and returner. The senior finished with a game-high 164 yards from scrimmage and a pair of touchdowns, and head coach Mike Norvell admitted he was proud of him after the game.
"Sam's a guy that's a really talented football player," Norvell said. "He's growing, just in all areas. I was proud of him to see his impact in all three phases of it. The return game had a big kickoff return. Obviously, you had some good runs, but then you're also catching the ball out of the backfield was great to see and to see his confidence growing and what we do."
"It was a great start for him to this season, and we're expecting big things as we continue to move forward," he added.
Singleton has improved each year he has been at FSU, and while there is a long way to go, his senior year is off to an excellent start.

Florida State opened the 2026 season with a victory Saturday night, but its 34-17 win over New Mexico State offered a mixture of encouraging developments and areas that will need improvement before the competition ramps up.
The Seminoles finished with 419 yards of offense, including 217 on the ground, and held New Mexico State to 319 total yards. FSU never trailed, but the Aggies remained within 10 points until the final four minutes despite Florida State entering as a heavy favorite.
Here are the biggest winners and losers from a season-opening win that left FSU's fans with some concerns.
The offseason buzz surrounding Kromah carried directly into Week 0. The sophomore rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, averaging 8.2 yards per attempt. His one-yard score with 4:01 remaining capped a 90-yard drive and finally put the game away.
Kromah looked explosive when ****** e opened and gave Florida State a dependable option throughout the night.

Liverpool rescued a point at Anfield, but ***** ody inside the home dressing room will be dressing this up as progress. A 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest meant more dropped points, more defensive questions and another reminder that fight alone does not win league matches.
Florian Wirtz said as much afterwards when speaking to liverpoolfc.com, and he did not waste words. "I'm very disappointed," he said. "Of course we demand from ourselves the most.
"We couldn't take the three points again, that's why I'm disappointed. We have to keep working on the things we can do better and we have to get back to winning ways."
Forest struck first through Dan Ndoye's ***** ist for Victor Munoz in the 24th minute, and Liverpool were chasing the game from there. They improved after the break and found an equaliser when Alexander Isak converted from close range in the second half.
Then came the familiar problem. Liverpool got back on terms and immediately handed Forest another opening. Morgan Gibbs-White converted from the spot to restore the visitors' lead, exposing the same defensive frailties that have cost points too often.

That's because soaring growth rates — such as those seen in recent quarters — are more often than not followed by below-average growth rates, and vice versa. We therefore should resist the temptation to extrapolate the blazingly fast earnings growth of recent quarters into the indefinite future.
Am I too old for Roth conversions? I'm 84 and my wife is 77. We have $8 million saved.
My mother, 91, has dementia. Every bank says I need her signature to unlock her $100,000 stock certificate. What can I do?
As the late British economist John Maynard Keynes reminded us, trees do not grow to the sky.

Auburn football made a clean sweep of its quarterback room following the 2025 season, and two of those made their debuts for their new programs on Saturday.
Ashton Daniels took the field for the Florida State Seminoles, while Jackson Arnold was named the starter for UNLV just days before the season-opening game. Daniels led the Seminoles to a 34-17 win over New Mexico State, while Arnold had a great day passing but could not get the win as UNLV lost to Memphis in their season opener at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Both quarterbacks dealt with pressure issues on Saturday, similar to their time at Auburn. According to PFF, Daniels was under pressure in 12 of his 27 passing attempts. FSU Wire's JD McCarthy believes the pressure he faced forced him to make questionable passing decisions.
"It was a mixed bag for Ashton Daniels in his debut," writes McCarthy. "He was constantly under pressure as FSU's offensive line struggled to protect him, but he also held onto the ball for to long at times and made a bad decision on his interception. He finished the day 17-27 passing for 202 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also ran for a touchdown."
The pressure was amplified for Arnold in UNLV's 27-21 loss to Memphis on Saturday as he was pressured 18 times according to PFF data. He was sacked seven times; two of those sacks occurred during the Rebels' final drive of the game. Despite facing constant pressure, Arnold found success through the air, completing 25 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions. He rushed for 108 yards, but the high number of sacks trimmed his total to just 58 net yards on the ground.
