MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City’s perfect start in the Premier League is over after a shock loss to Wolverhampton on Saturday, with rivals Tottenham and Arsenal taking full advantage.City’s lead at the top was cut to one point after it fell to a 2-1 defeat at Molineux, which ended its 100% record in the top flight this season.Tottenham moved up to second as Joel Matip’s own-goal deep into stoppage time secured a 2-1 win against nine-man Liverpool. Arsenal beat Bournemouth 4-0 and is up to third, behind Spurs on goals scored. City’s defeat came after Pep Guardiola’s side was knocked out of the English League Cup by Newcastle on Wednesday.

Liberals in lead in Slovakia election, exit poll shows

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:40:04 GMT

An exit poll from Saturday’s election in Slovakia indicated the liberal, Western-oriented Progressive Slovakia was leading the leftist-populist Smer opposition party. Polls closed at 10:45 p.m. CET, with an exit poll from the Focus agency and the TV Markíza commercial station published minutes later.The exit poll showed Progressive Slovakia, led by Michal Šimečka, in front with 23.5 percent of the vote, followed by former Prime Minister Robert Fico’s Smer with 21.9 percent. By political custom in Slovakia, the front-runner gets the first chance at forming a majority in the 150-seat parliament. With the country profoundly polarized, that rule theoretically puts Šimečka, a former journalist and Oxford PhD, in a strong position to form a coalition for what would be his first term as prime minister. Saturday’s ballot is seen as pivotal to Slovakia’s democratic future, with Fico having promised to stop sending weapons to Ukraine, to block Kyiv’s potential NATO members...

NEEDHAM — If you were to take a ride down Greendale Avenue in Needham lately, you would notice there is a sense of excitement in the air.That’s because the football program at St. Sebastian’s is looking to defend a share of the ISL-7 title and they’ve lived up to expectations so far.Junior quarterback Ty Ciongoli finished 14-for-22 passing with 205 yards and a trio of touchdowns, as St. Sebastian’s won its second straight game to begin the ISL season with a convincing 35-7 romp of rival Nobles on Saturday.“We felt like we had a good plan going in for both games we’ve had,” Ciongoli said. “Both offensively and defensively.
