Brighton 2-4 Arsenal: Player ratings as Gunners go seven points clear

From the AMEX - Arsenal staved off a second-half comeback from Brighton to edge a New Year's Eve classic and go seven points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Bukayo Saka pounced barely a minute into proceedings by lifting into the top corner from close range before Martin Odegaard sent the Gunners into the break with a two-goal advantage, converting from a Saka corner. Eddie Ntekiah had the visitors 3-0 up with a tap in during the 47th minute before Kaoru Mitoma offered Brighton a route back into the game with a calm finish. Gabriel Martinelli shot through Robert Sanchez to go 4-1 up, though substitute Evan Ferguson shrugged off some loose defending to grab another consolation. Draws for both Manchester City and Newcastle earlier on Saturday gave Arsenal the opportunity to go seven points clear in first and they were straight out of the traps to open the scoring. Odegaard drove forward unopposed before Tariq Lamptey was caught in possession, resultin

Erling Haaland smashes Premier League goals record

Erling Haaland became the fastest player to reach 20 Premier League goals after he bagged a brace in Man City’s 3-1 win at Leeds. The Norwegian was actually in wasteful mood at Elland Road, scoring just two of his five chances. Still, he got the goals need needed to reach the 20-goal mark in what was only his 14th Premier League appearance. Before Haaland, the fewest games required to reach the landmark was Kevin Phillips, who needed just 21 games in the 1999/2000 season for Sunderland. For context, Harry Kane needed 40 Game s to score his 20th Premier League goal.

Jonathan David makes major Premier League transfer confession

Lille striker Jonathan David has admitted he cannot see himself playing anywhere other than the Premier League , as the Canadian international nears an exit from Ligue 1. The 22-year-old scored 15 league goals last season and already has nine this time around, having established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in France and one of the most intriguing attackers around. Interest in David has not been in short supply. Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked in the past, while 90min understands that Chelsea manager Graham Potter has expressed an interest in the Lille forward. David has previously admitted he would be interested in a move to either England or Spain in the near future, but in a recent interview with La Voix du Nord , the 22-year-old suggested it was the Premier League or bust. "I don't know, I think it's possible, very possible," David said of a move to England. "I don't know if I can find myself anywhere other than the Premie

Some Ukrainians move Christmas to detach again from Russia

Ukrainians usually celebrate Christmas on Jan. 7, as do Russians BOBRYTSIA, Ukraine -- Ukrainians usually celebrate Christmas on Jan. 7, as do the Russians. But not this year, or at least not all of them. Some Orthodox Ukrainians have decided to observe Christmas on Dec. 25, like many Christians around the world. Yes, this has to do with the war, and yes, they have the blessing of their local church. The idea of commemorating the birth of Jesus in December was considered radical in Ukraine until recently, but Russia's invasion changed many hearts and minds. In October, the leadership of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which is not aligned with the Russian church and one of two branches of Orthodox Christianity in the country, agreed to allow faithful to celebrate on Dec. 25. The choice of dates has clear political and religious overtones in a nation with rival Orthodox churches and where slight revisions to rituals can carry potent meaning in a culture war that runs

Pakistani scientists develop fluorescent nanoparticles using tea

KARACHI: A team of Pakistani scientists develop ed fluorescent nanoparticles from spent tea through an eco-friendly procedure. These nanoparticles could act like sensors in various medical applications. Aumber Abbas – a PhD scholar at the Newcastle University, UK and others from Oxford University UK, made this discovery by converting tea waste into Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) to design a highly selective sensor to detect iron in drinking water and Parkinson’s patients. The tiny particles are made from graphene – an allotrope of Carbon discovered in 2004 – consist of a sheet of carbon atoms that could be collected from a piece of graphite with scotch tape. The discovery of this magic material was awarded the Nobel Prize. Till then, graphene is an ideal material for new explorations in material science, medicine and other fields. Scientists and engineers around the world are still busy in fine-tuning graphene for desirable results. For instance, in March 2018, Pablo Jarillo-He

FF14: Endwalker's Focus On The Final Days Was Inspired By The Pandemic

It's no secret that the last couple of years have been pretty hard for Game developers across the industry. The pandemic forced many to shift development of their titles to work-from-home setups, leading to all kinds of problems and technical issues. It's caused countless delays for some of the most highly-anticipated titles ever made, but it's not very often that you hear about the pandemic causing a developer to alter a Game 's story during development. That's exactly what happened during development of Final Fantasy 14's Endwalker expansion though, as a new video from IGN has revealed the Game 's focus on The Final Days was directly inspired by the pandemic. This is according to the Game 's senior story designer Natsuko Ishikawa, who explains that the first wave of coronavirus and lockdowns happened right as she was making adjustments to the overall story of Endwalker.

Holidays can bring financial stress, here's how to reduce it

The holidays are supposed to be a joyful time, but they can also be financially stressful NEW YORK -- The holidays are supposed to be a joyful time, but they can also be financially stressful. With gifts, social gatherings and plane tickets home, the costs can start piling up. With inflation easing but still high, 57% of Americans say it has been harder to afford the gifts they want to give, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Compared to the height of the pandemic, "we’re having less stress navigating the things that bring us together during the holidays. What is different from last year is how much financial stress there is,” said Dr. Rebecca Brendel, director of the American Psychiatric Association. Here are recommendations from experts to reduce financial stress during the holidays: SET EXPECTATIONS In many families, the holidays mean going all out with gift giving.
