Rafael Leao came off the bench to earn Milan a 2-2 draw with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, but Paulo Fonseca s side are still without a Serie A win this season.
Milan were in front at the break through Strahinja Pavlovic s eighth-minute goal, the Serbian rising highest to power home a header from Christian Pulisic s corner.
However, Lazio hit back in the second half with Valentin Castellanos and Boulaye Dia scoring in quick succession.
Nuno Tavares first-time ball into the centre was met by the unmarked Castellanos to level in the 62nd minute, then Dia tapped another Tavares cutback home to put the Biancocelesti ahead four minutes later.
Fonseca reacted by sending on four substitutes, and those changes had a swift impact as three of them combi…
Alex Morgan will leave Tottenham and return to the United States in the new year, the club have confirmed.
The USWNT star signed for Spurs in September, having not played since August 2019 due to pregnancy and the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The 31-year-old, twice a Women s World Cup winner, will head back to the USA when the first half of the Women s Super League season has concluded.
She made five appearances for Spurs in all competitions, scoring two goals.
I will be forever grateful to the club, my team-mates and Spurs supporters for taking such good care of me and my family, she said via a statement issued by the club.
From the moment I arrived in London, I realised I was part of a first-class organisation, one that helpe…

It has finally happened. For the first time in their history, Manchester City have won the Champions League.
Finally City
Many have said it had long been coming.
Manchester City have been one of the best teams in the world for quite some time, with even their fiercest rivals admitting as much on numerous occasions. It took a bit of time for Pep Guardiola to get his team into desired shape when he took charge of the team in 2016, but once they got going, they were the team to beat, or at least the team to play a good game against, which proved challenge enough for many even among the top opponents.
And yet, year after year, the Champions League trophy escaped their grasp. It has been said that Guardiola was brought in to earn them this triumph, and for a long ti…

The closing weeks of the NFL season bring a slew of outside factors influencing the outcomes on the field, beyond the standard situational handicapping angles we unearth in this article.
Playoff pushes, lost seasons, player incentives, injured talents, resting starters, kicking the tires on a young prospect, and the always-spinning coaching carousel make betting the NFL Week 17 odds one of the toughest challenges of the year.
Then toss in the situational spots — letdown, look-ahead, and schedule — into the mix and you’ve got to keep your head on a swivel and ear to the ground in Week 17. Before you get down any action, consider all the factors, including my top spot bets.

Proceed with caution, my friends!
What am I talking about? Well, be careful with buying into too many end-of-season narratives and applying them to your game analysis for your NFL picks
Yes, we all know that a handful of teams have nothing to play for because they’re eliminated from the playoffs. We all know there’s a handful of head coaches who’ll be fired at season’s end. We all know there are a lot of teams who will be extra motivated to win over the next two weeks… you know who else knows this – the oddsmakers!
It’s also important to keep in mind that all those players and coaches on losing teams do have plenty to play for. Many players will be looking to make a strong final impression ahead of free agency.…
Sundays are all about NFL player props and touchdowns and in this particular case, first touchdowns.
Here we’re going hunting for some big prices on players to score the opening touchdowns in their respective games. We have some unusually high Week One odds with a number of players perhaps being underestimated by the market.
Join me as I break down my favorite NFL picks for Sunday’s slate, and be sure to check out our anytime touchdown scorer prop picks.

Liverpool’s January always promised to revolve around African attackers. Just not Daniel Udoh, perhaps. And yet, should they keep a fourth consecutive clean sheet against Crystal Palace on Sunday, Shrewsbury’s Nigerian target man will retain his distinction as the only player to score against them while Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané were at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Liverpool could get through what threatened to be the most problematic period of their season unscathed. While Diogo Jota’s double against Arsenal booked their place in the Carabao Cup final and suggested the Portuguese had found a way of compensating for his fellow forwards’ absence, Jürgen Klopp argues that Salah and Mané have been replaced in part by stoppers, not s…
Roberto Mancini has resigned as Italy’s head coach, the country’s football federation (FIGC) said on Sunday, ending a five-year spell in which the national team experienced continental success but missed out on the sport’s biggest tournament.
Mancini took charge of the four-time World Cup winners in 2018 after they failed to qualify for that year’s tournament in Russia, having previously not missed a World Cup finals since 1958. Following the retirements of the veterans Andrea Barzagli, Daniele De Rossi and Gianluigi Buffon, Mancini guided a transitional Italy side to success at the European Championship in 2021, beating England in the final. His team also went on a run of 37 games without defeat between October 2018 and October 2021…
