NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Arsenal kept the pressure on Manchester City in the Premier League title race by beating Newcastle 2-0 in a huge test of its credentials on Sunday.Martin Odegaard’s first-half strike and Fabian Schar’s own-goal, combined with some breathtaking saves by Aaron Ramsdale, saw Arsenal come through the toughest of its final four games with a rare win for a visiting team at St. James’ Park.Arsenal moved back to one point behind City, which has a game in hand but some potentially tricky matches to finish the season as Pep Guardiola’s team goes for a third straight title.Odegaard slammed home a low shot from outside the area to give Arsenal the lead in the 14th minute against the run of play, with third-place Newcastle having already struck the post through Jacob Murphy and had the awarding of a penalty overturned after a VAR check.Before Schar’s own-goal in the 71st, Ramsdale saved brilliantly off Joe Willock and Schar from point-blank range while Alexander Isak he...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:29:53 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — A morning pep talk from European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald in the locker room. Then a trophy ceremony in the afternoon at the Marco Simone club outside Rome.That’s just what Adrian Meronk has been dreaming about, and the Polish golfer’s Ryder Cup ambitions are starting to look like they might become a reality after he won the Italian Open on Sunday less than five months before the sport’s biggest team event is held on the same course.“I think that’s a solid statement, a solid brick into the wall,” Meronk said. “But it’s not over yet. I know that. … I’ll keep pushing, keep doing what I can to get on the team. But I think that should help a little bit.”Meronk finished at 13-under overall with a 2-under 69 for a one-stroke victory over Romain Langasque, with third-round leader Julien Guerrier three strokes behind in third.It’s not the first time that Meronk has performed well at Marco Simone, having finished in a tie for second behind Nicolai...

There is nothing like the promise of a chapter closing to draw people to the movie theater, especially when tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.This weekend, ” Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which says goodbye to this iteration of the space misfits and its driving creative voice, director James Gunn, earned $114 million in ticket sales from 4,450 locations in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.Internationally, where the film opened in 52 territories including China, “Vol. 3” earned $168 million, giving it a $282 million global debut.Domestically, it’s both an impressive sum for any movie and slightly less than what we’ve come to expect from a Marvel opening.Last year on the same weekend, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” riding on the success of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” raked in $187.4 million in its first three days in North America. And in November, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever...

Yankees Notebook: Slow rehab brings humor, frustration out of Luis Severino

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:29:53 GMT

ST. PETERSBURG — Luis Severino’s sense of humor — and frustration — was on full display Sunday morning in the Yankees’ clubhouse at Tropicana Field.Severino, working his way back from a lat injury suffered at the end of spring training, will begin a rehab assignment this week with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. That assignment was originally supposed to begin with a start for Low-A Tampa this past week, but the Yankees had him throw three innings and 40 pitches in a simulated game at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Friday instead.That session was closed to reporters even though the Yankees were in Tampa Bay for a series with the Rays.“I think it was unnecessary not to in throw in Low-A,” Severino said, “but I do whatever they tell me to do.”Severino, who has expressed dissatisfaction with how the Yankees have handled his recoveries in the past, added “they tried to” when asked if the team explained why he needed the ...

Serbia’s education minister resigns following mass shootings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:29:53 GMT

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s education minister submitted his resignation Sunday following two mass shootings, one of them at a primary school, left 17 people dead, while the European country’s government urged citizens to turn in all unregistered weapons or run the risk of a prison sentence. Education Minister Branko Ruzic is the first Serbian official to resign over the shootings despite widespread calls for more senior officials to step down in the wake of the back-to-back bloodshed. Ruzic cited the “catastrophic tragedy that has engulfed our country” in explaining his decision. Soon after the attack at the school in belgrade, Serbia’s capital on Wednesday, Ruzic was quick to blame “the cancerous, pernicious influence of the internet, video games, so-called Western values.” Such criticism is common in the Blakan nation, where pro-Russian and anti-Western sentiment have thrived in recent years.On Sunday, the Interior Ministry said individuals could hand over ...
