Share this: Roberto Firmino’s first-half header saw Liverpool consolidate their position in the Premier League’s top four with a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon. Firmino — back in the Reds’ starting line-up along with Philippe Coutinho — converted James Milner’s free-kick, via a flick-on from Lucas Leiva, in stoppage time at the end of the first period to move Jürgen Klopp’s side back into third place in the standings. The visitors had the better of the second half, too, but were unable to add to their advantage. Milner blazed over the crossbar from close range before Divock Origi saw a close-range header disallowed due to Firmino straying offside shortly after the hour. Simon Mignolet denied Matt Phillips as West Brom

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Flyers Lineups
Share this: The Boston Bruins have a chance to expand on their recent dominance at home when they take on the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday at TD Garden. The Bruins and Flyers each have something on the line when they square off at 1 p.m. ET. Philadelphia has won only one of its last three games, but the club still is in the running for a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Flyers sit five points back of the New York Islanders for the second wild card, while the Bruins are in a slightly more comfortable position with a two-point lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs for third place in the Atlantic Division. Boston also has won six of its last seven home games
Jamie Collins ‘A Great Fit’ With Browns; Teammate Seth DeValve Explains Why
Share this: HOUSTON — The New England Patriots will play in Super Bowl LI on Sunday, and Jamie Collins will not. If Patriots fans were told that before the season, they’d probably believe it’s because Collins had suffered some significant injury. In reality, though, Collins shockingly was traded on Oct. 31 to the Cleveland Browns, who have welcomed the linebacker with open arms and given him a four-year, $40 contract extension. “I remember the first week he came to Cleveland, in practice, his position and my position go up against each other quite a bit,” Browns tight end Seth DeValve told NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava on Friday at Radio Row, “and I was like, wow, this guy’s good, he’s going to be a great
Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Red Wings Lineups
The Boston Bruins are coming off a bad 4-0 loss at home to the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon, and they face another important game versus an inferior team in the Detroit Red Wings on the road Wednesday night. Boston sits in second place in the Atlantic Division, but that position is a bit deceiving. The Bruins have a slim 1-point lead on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators in the division, and both of these teams also have five games in hand on the B’s. Therefore, the Bruins must go on some kind of win streak — or at least establish some consistency — to keep pace in a playoff
On List Of Reasons Patriots Beat Texans, Brock Osweiler Is Near The Top
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Bill O’Brien indicated Saturday that fixing the Houston Texans’ offense isn’t “rocket science.” Maybe so, but fixing the offense might be “Brock-et science,” as in quarterback Brock Osweiler, and that could be much worse. The Texans lost to the New England Patriots on Saturday night in an AFC divisional-round game for a variety of reasons. Osweiler’s ineffectiveness might not have been the No. 1 reason, but it certainly ranked near the top. The $72-million man completed just 23 of 40 passes for 198 yards (less than 5 yards per attempt) with one touchdown pass and three costly interceptions. The usually sure-handed Patriots committed an uncharacteristically high amount of mistakes, turning the ball over three times — including two Tom
Bill Belichick Has High Praise For Former Patriots Defensive Back Ty Law
Share this: Over the course of his 15-year NFL career, Ty Law made his case as one of the best players to ever play the cornerback position. Now, the former Patriot is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His former head coach Bill Belichick certainly believes the honor is warranted, and Law’s career statistics back up Belichick’s claims. To hear more from Belichick, take a look at the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. More Stories Source link
Giants Fullback Has Home Vandalized With Swastika, Donald Trump’s Name
Share this: New York Giants fullback Nikita Whitlock has become the latest person to be victimized by a string of hate crimes sweeping through the tri-state area. When Whitlock returned home Tuesday night, he discovered that his Moonachie, N.J., apartment had been broken into and several items had been stolen. But the most disturbing part of the break-in is what the perpetrators left behind. Inside the apartment, Whitlock discovered a graffitied swastika along with letters “KKK” and the words “Go Back To Africa” scrawled across the walls, according to CBS New York. “It just re-establishes that no matter where you are, no matter who you are, this can happen to you,” Whitlock said, per CBS New York. Along with the images, the vandals also left the last
