- September 11, 2017
It's during these closely packed fixture schedules that Arsenal will be tested as a top-class side, and Saturday's showing hints they're moving in the right direction.

Jets notebook: Why was Christian Hackenberg the Week 1 backup?
- September 11, 2017
But when Bowles was asked whether Petty was healthy, all he would say was: "He had a full week of practice". Petty suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in the fourth quarter of the Jets' third preseason game and didn't play in the final exhibition contest. (more...)

Judge, Sanchez both homer twice as Yanks top Texas
- September 11, 2017
Judge was far from the lone offensive star for NY, which broke a 1-1 tie with two runs in the third and then blew the game open in the fourth and finished with 18 hits, matching its season highs in runs and hits. Judge's walk in the second inning was his 107th of the season, a major league record for rookies. He did strike out four, giving him 96 in 63 innings, and was credited with the victory. (more...)

Bengals' Andy Dalton historically atrocious in shutout loss to Ravens
- September 11, 2017
A suffocating defense and efficient, ball-control offense led the Ravens to a 20-0 win at Cincinnati, their first shutout victory since a 16-0 win at Cleveland in 2009. "We know he can play at a high level". It's really the last thing Baltimore could use right now as they already had 11 players put on injured reserve. (more...)

Jadon Sancho changed his mind on new Man City deal - Pep Guardiola
- September 11, 2017
It's not a big issue because we sold a lot. PSG have signed the 18-year-old striker on loan with an option to buy him at the end of the season for a fee of around €160m, which will make him the second most expensive player in the world. I'm not a guy to call national managers and tell them what to do. I said "where are you?" The 17-year-old was sold to Dortmund on transfer deadline day in a deal worth £8 million and Guardiola admits he was frustrated to see him go. (more...)

Deshaun Watson throws his 1st career TD to Nuk Hopkins
- September 11, 2017
He was also bereft of injured receiver Will Fuller (collarbone), and suspended receiver Jaelen Strong, out for one game after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. There were missed opportunities - including a missed field goal and extra point - and plenty of drives that stalled prematurely. Texans fans got the quarterback many had wanted all along when rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson replaced starter Tom Savage to begin the second half against the Jaguars Sunday at NRG Stadium.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho unsatisfied with draw against 'powerful' Stoke City
- September 11, 2017
It's not the first time, it won't be the last. United scored 10 goals without reply in its three victories before the worldwide break but came unstuck against a team that has already beaten Arsenal this season. "It makes it look like it's my fault but that's not right", he said. The England midfielder played for Arsenal in a 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the third game of the season on August 27. (more...)

Details of Eagles' Ronald Darby's gruesome injury vs. Redskins
- September 11, 2017
On initial look, it appears to be a broken ankle or a severe sprain at the minimum. The cart had to come pick Darby up off the field while medical personnel stabilized the joint. Nonetheless, he was clearly the top talent the Eagles had at cornerback, as the position remained a major question mark coming into the season. The injury also likely means more playing time for Rasul Douglas, a tall and physical but raw rookie who was taken in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. (more...)

Arsenal's Danny Welbeck ready to prove doubters wrong - Arsene Wenger
- September 11, 2017
OK, we lost at Liverpool but we can redress the situation very well and very quickly. It was a serious performance, well focused, with a good team discipline and we scored goals and didn't concede. "I liked his second goal today, it was really the clean finishing of a goal scorer". "Stronger? I think it depends on what period of the season", he added. (more...)

Thrilling draw for the Wallabies and Springboks in Perth
- September 11, 2017
That came a fortnight after the Australians relinquished a 17-point lead in a heart-breaking late 35-29 defeat to the All Blacks in Dunedin, New Zealand. The lead was short-lived: Israel Folau won back Australia's restart, and Beale produced a dodge-and-weave run to touch down for a try. A dominant scrum in the 66th minute gave fly-half Jantjies the simplest of chances to put South Africa up 23-20 but Foley responded immediately with a long-range effort to set up a tense last 10 minutes.
