Former France international Koscielny has ended a nine-season stay in the Premier League by returning to the French top flight. “We decided to sanction his move to Bordeaux once we agreed acceptable transfer terms,” the Gunners said in a statement. “We thank Laurent for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future.” The 33-year-old plunged his Arsenal future into doubt in July when the club confirmed he had refused to travel on their pre-season tour of the United States....

The centre-back landed awkwardly after an aerial challenge during the closing stages of the crucial Group C victory at Anfield, which sent the Reds into the last 16.

The announcement comes just a day after the UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) confirmed it is also investigating the Premier League leaders following allegations made against the club and their owners by German publication Der Spiegel, which drew upon documents purportedly obtained by whistleblowers Football Leaks. The articles included claims of Sheikh Mansour’s City regime topping up multi-million-pound sponsorship deals with Abu Dhabi companies in order to circumvent UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules relating to how much money owners can put into a club....

Robben moved to the Allianz Arena in August 2009 after finding himself out of favour at Real Madrid following the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. The Netherlands international has gone on to enjoy a near decade of trophy-laden dominance with Bayern, winning seven Bundesliga titles and four DFB-Pokals. Robben’s crowning glory in a Bayern shirt came when he scored an 89th-minute winner to down domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the 2012-13 Champions League final, a year after they had been beaten by Chelsea in the 2012 showpiece....

Barisal Bulls won the toss and elected to bat. It didn’t start well for them in the first couple of overs as they couldn’t pierce the gaps, mounting pressure on themselves. Shahriar Nafees was all at sea, crawling to 3 runs off 11 balls. He was eventually dismissed in the 3rd over by Abu Jayed. The first 3 overs fetched a meagre 6 runs that included a wicket maiden....

Keselowski accused Gordon of being biased last week after Gordon questioned whether Keselowski and his Penske Racing team committed a rules violation during the race at Pocono Raceway. Keselowski was penalized for an unapproved body modification when his jackman leaned into and dented the right side of the car, a move Keselowski said was unintentional.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said this is “just another in a line of frivolous lawsuits” against the state’s election law, adding, “We will continue to meet them and beat them in court.” But U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee’s ruling does not rule out the possibility for future elections. The Republican-backed law has become a source of outrage for election integrity activists, Democrats and others who contend that the law creates unnecessary barriers to voting, particularly for people of color....

Chubb is having a solid year ahead of needing a new contract as a pending free agent in 2023. Although the No. 5 overall draft pick in 2018 hasn’t lived up to the expectations of being the next Mario Williams from NC State, he is having a strong overall healthy season with six sacks in 2022. Denver didn’t have plans to re-sign Chubb, given Baron Browning’s emergence and Randy Gregory’s addition had made him more expendable....

Brady made history when he scored the fastest penalty in European Championship history to put Ireland 1-0 up against tournament hosts France at Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday, becoming the first Irish player to score consecutive goals at the tournament in the process, following his winner against Italy. However, the Norwich City man’s goal was not enough as France responded in the second half, with Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann scoring twice to send Martin O’Neill’s side home....

Melton’s success intensifies the clash of science and politics that began in 2001, when President George W. Bush limited federally funded research to stem-cell lines that already existed. The move was intended to satisfy religious groups opposed to research on human embryos, and scientists eager to unravel the mysteries of cell biology. But last week the National Institutes of Health acknowledged that the number of official stem-cell lines available, touted to be as high as 78 by government officials, had dropped to 15....

Gaming in 2016, however, is not the same as gaming just four years ago. 2016 looks to be the year that JRPGs become culturally relevant once more, as the releases of Final Fantasy 15 and Persona 5 are coming later this year and fans have taken a renewed interest in the genre. Bravely Second now has more competition, and just being a loving homage to turn-based hits like old school Final Fantasy titles or Chrono Trigger won’t be enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest releases of the year....

He launches long home runs and celebrates. Miami pitchers get mad and throw at him. Acuna’s Game 1 NLDS long ball against the Marlins on Tuesday marked his 18th against Miami in just 45 career games — a 162-game pace of 65 dingers. His ensuing hit-by-pitch, which led to on-field jawing, was the fifth plunking he has received from Miami. So, Acuna took a social media victory lap after Atlanta beat Miami 9-5 in Game 1....

The family is claiming negligence over the height of the guard railing. They claim the railing is only 30 inches high, and it should be 42 inches, what they claim to be the industry standard. They also claim Murrey, who was 60 years old when he fell, would not have fallen had the railing been the appropriate height.

Bravo faced 165 balls, almost a whole session’s worth on his own, and was 33 not out at stumps to help West Indies to 272-6 in rely to England’s 187. Bravo and captain Jason Holder, 19 not out off 58 balls, navigated the last 19 overs safely to ensure West Indies won the day. They started it 30 without loss, and the openers moved shakily to 70 when John Campbell edged Ben Stokes to Jos Buttler at second slip....
