Their last encounter in this international break ended in a draw, as Roberto Firmino’s strike was cancelled out from the spot by Senegal’s Famara Diedhiou.

But thanks to a series-high fourth victory, Keselowski leaped to the top, earning the top seed for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, which begins Sunday Chicagoland Speedway.

What it may not have had, though, was top-tier commentary and analysis. Tony Romo is no stranger to mediocre playoff performances, but this might be the first one he’s had behind a microphone. The CBS color commentator was met with criticism throughout the day, as his honeymoon phase as a broadcaster has come to a screeching halt. MORE: Travis Kelce calls out Cincinnati mayor — ‘You jabroni’ Here are some of Romo’s more notable — and forgettable — moments behind the mic on Sunday:...

Tagovailoa was strip-sacked on his first dropback — and Miami’s second offensive snap — in Sunday’s surprise 28-17 win over the Rams. He was quickly introduced to Aaron Donald, the league’s best defensive player, who rattled him and forced a fumble. Instead of going downhill from there, Tagovailoa, the No. 5 overall pick out of Alabama, got a huge break with shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey not playing because of illness....

The announcement comes as a surprise after McLaren boss Zak Brown revealed at the United States Grand Prix in October that the team had shelved plans to compete in IndyCar next year. Alonso announced earlier in the year he will leave Formula One at the end of the season, the two-time world champion deciding it was time to move on after his 17th season on the grid. However, the Spaniard will continue his partnership with McLaren next year, as he looks to become just the second man to complete motorsport’s prestigious triple crown....

The Belgium international enjoyed a brilliant campaign last season, scoring eight goals and setting up another 16 as City romped to Premier League success. However, Wednesday’s news will come as a blow to City and coach Pep Guardiola, who could be without the 27-year-old for a couple of months. “Kevin De Bruyne is undergoing tests on his right knee after sustaining an injury at training on Wednesday,” read a brief statement from City....

City’s defensive options had already been hit by Aymeric Laporte being ruled out for six months by a knee injury, while no replacement was signed for departed club captain Vincent Kompany. That left Stones and Nicolas Otamendi as City’s only senior centre-backs and the pair looked shaky last time out as City went down to their first Premier League defeat since January, losing 3-2 away to promoted Norwich City....

The 50-year-old departs the Italian capital after just under two years in the role. His exit comes only a day after head coach Eusebio Di Francesco was sacked in the wake of Roma’s Champions League last-16 exit to Porto. Monchi was appointed on a four-year deal in April 2017 after a hugely successful spell at Sevilla, where he helped the club to win five Europa Leagues and two Copas del Rey over 11 seasons....

Ronaldo, who was suspended for Tuesday’s Champions League win over Young Boys, has “firmly denied” a rape allegation after Kathryn Mayorga accused the Portuguese of sexual assault in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009. The forward called the claims “fake news” and then issued a further statement on social media in which he strenuously denied the allegations and called rape “an abominable crime”. Both Juve and Ronaldo’s international head coach Fernando Santos have offered unwavering support to the 33-year-old, although he was left out of the Portugal squad for the upcoming matches against Poland and Scotland, and Allegri has confirmed he is available to face Udinese....

This article discusses the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for this cancer. Though it was first reported in 1997, it wasn’t until 2011 when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had enough evidence to make the connection between lymphoma and a specific type of breast implant, the Biocell textured saline and silicone-filled implants and tissue expanders. The Biocell model is made by the pharmaceutical company Allergan. In 2019, the FDA requested that Allergan recall the models of the breast implants causing BIA-ALCL....

Talking about their bowling performance first, apart from Taskin and Gregory, Junaid Khan (2/22) also troubled the opposition batsmen. However, it was Arafat Sunny (2/29) who set the tone of the innings for Rangers by dismissing the two top-order batsmen, Tamim Iqbal (34) and Mahedi Hasan (20). There was no major partnership for Dhaka Platoon as the Mashrafe Mortaza-led outfit fell 11 runs short of their 150-run target. Overseas stars Shadab Khan (16) and Asif Ali (1) could not live up to the expectations while Mortaza (12*) could not play the big shots in the final overs....

Keselowski overtook Larson’s dominant car by a few feet coming out of the pits on the final caution, then took off on the restart to win the Southern 500 — a satisfying moment in a season of struggles for the former NASCAR champion. “That’s how this sport rolls,” said a smiling Keselowski. “That’s how life rolls. You’ve just got to keep pushing forward and make the most of the opportunities and know the breaks will come your way just as they fell against you previously....

A Paul Pogba half-volley and a Zlatan Ibrahimovic brace saw United run riot in the first half at the Liberty Stadium, before Mike van der Hoorn pulled back a late consolation goal. Swansea supporters vented their frustration at the club’s board during that dismal opening period, chanting “we want our club back” after the controversial circumstances of their American takeover, and booed their team off at the break. Van der Hoorn’s header spared Swansea from ending the weekend at the bottom of the Premier League, leading Sunderland on the narrowest of goal difference margins....

While the Wizards are essentially guaranteed a playoff spot in the East, they have struggled in March, losing seven of their last 11 games. Washington’s latest loss, a 101-97 defeat at the hands of the lowly Knicks on Sunday night, proved to be too much for All-Star shooting guard Bradley Beal to let go. MORE: Why Celtics’ injuries could help Jayson Tatum “I’m tired of talking about this s—. It’s just the same thing over and over,” Beal said after the game (via NBC Sports Washington)....

Luck isn’t dismissing one of the league’s premier young quarterbacks the one who engineered an epic Colts’ comeback against the Kansas City Chiefs on wild-card weekend. But Brady didn’t watch any of Luck’s heroics in the game. Instead, he focused on the Indianapolis defense. “Truthfully, I’m not worried about the opposing quarterback,” Brady said on his weekly Boston radio show, WEEI. “I’m thinking about the defense and what I need to do to play against them....

The talented South African, who has a number of wins on the European Tour, birdied four of his first six holes Sunday to apply pressure on Donald.
