The scenario does not happen often but whenever it does, almost no one finds it a satisfactory way to conclude a race.On Sunday Max Verstappen’s late crash had prompted the safety car and the field…

Arsenal’s hunt for a Ben White replacement is ramping up, with a shock move for West Ham United star Aaron Wan-Bissaka now a possibility. White made just 12 Premier League appearances for the Gunners last season, as a result of receiving a number of injury setbacks, and his time at the Emirates Stadium could come to an end this summer. Mikel Arteta may find it difficult to replace the Englishman, considering he is a versatile option, regularly featuring at both centre-back and right-back since joining from Brighton back in 2021. However, Wan-Bissaka, who is also very experienced in England, making…

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Oliver Glasner as their new head coach, with owner Evangelos Marinakis backing the Austrian to get the club competing for major honours. Forest surprisingly dismissed Vitor Pereira last week despite the former Wolves boss guiding them away from the Premier League danger zone last season. Pereira was the fourth man to lead Forest during a tumultuous campaign, with Marinakis also sacking Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche during the course of 2025-26. Pereira led Forest to a 16th-place Premier League finish and the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they lost…
“I want to unify, man. It’s time to start getting this featherweight division rolling,” said Carrington. “I really want to get ready and start fighting the best in the business. That’s whoever the champions are in the featherweight division.” Carrington’s comments were notable because he declined to single out any of the other titleholders, leaving open the possibility of facing any of the division’s champions. While Carrington got the victory, it was far from a dominant first defense. In the eighth round, Palacios sent him to the canvas with a right hand that Carrington immediately claimed was a rabbit punch.…
