The Reds have won 17 consecutive top-flight matches - one short of the all-time record - and moved eight points clear of Manchester City, who are yet to play this weekend, as they defeated Leicester City 2-1 at Anfield. But with a long way to go still in Liverpool’s pursuit of a first league title since 1990, Klopp is instead focusing on each individual match in turn. The Liverpool boss believes his players are doing likewise, recognising their effort in chasing a late victory after James Maddison equalised for Leicester following Sadio Mane’s opener....

Mohamed Salah scored twice to put Liverpool well in control at Anfield, with the equally impressive Philippe Coutinho adding a third after the interval. While it will be Salah and Coutinho who get most of the plaudits, Moreno - who has been impressive this season following a difficult campaign in 2016-17 - was solid again at the back, and Klopp was quick to reach out to the Spaniard’s partner after his no-show at the birth....

The Uruguayan did not experience too many highs during a two-year stint at Old Trafford, but he did pick up a useful habit of netting against the Red Devils’ fiercest north-west rivals – with those efforts earning him his very own terrace chant at Old Trafford. Forlan is, however, prepared to put past differences to one side as he casts an eye over the battle for top-flight supremacy in England....

After an “almost” 2013-14 season, where they finished second in the Premier League, Liverpool under Rogers could not keep the momentum going, largely due to the loss of Luis Suarez. That is when the management decided to bring in Klopp, mid-season. His first game in charge was against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. Though the team held Spurs to a 0-0 draw, they never really looked convincing. Since then, Klopp has led them to a top-four finish, a UEFA Champions League final and made Liverpool arguably the best team in the League and favourites to win it this year....

The Knicks announced the hiring Monday after agreeing to terms with the former Memphis Grizzlies coach last week. They plan to introduce Fizdale at a news conference Tuesday. Fizdale went 50-51 with the Grizzlies, leading them to the postseason in his only full season before getting fired early last year after clashing with star center Marc Gasol. He becomes the 29th coach in franchise history, hoping to lead the Knicks out of what is now a five-year postseason drought....

New York and Julius Randle have agreed to a three-year, $63 million deal, according to ESPN. The 24-year-old forward averaged a career-high 21.4 points, along with 8.7 rebounds, in 73 games with the Pelicans in 2018-19. He shot 52.4% from the field and 34.4% from 3-point range. “It just shows opportunity and preparation,” Randle said about his season, via NOLA.com. “Just years of preparation and hard work and finally coming and getting my opportunity, I was able to make a jump....

Among the Knicks’ available picks in the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday morning were the 27th and 38th overall selections. By the end of the first round, New York had reportedly acquired the 25th and 33rd overall picks. All it took was one move in between, and no additional assets sent away, for the Knicks to wind up with two picks better than what they started with. The key to New York’s maneuvering was trading for the No....

That’s the good news. Unfortunately, what neither Scott nor screenwriters David Mamet and Steve Zaillian have been able to extract from Thomas Harris’s problematical novel is a good story. “Hannibal” is strikingly devoid of suspense. It’s not always clear who’s the protagonist and who’s the antagonist. Nor is it scary–at its most intense moments, it’s merely yucky. Verger (wittily played by an unrecognizable and uncredited Gary Oldman) uses his considerable resources to flush Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) out of hiding, using Clarice (Julianne Moore) as bait....

Back in 2016, Los Angeles declared Aug. 24 as Kobe Bryant Day, celebrating the five-time NBA champion after his retirement by recognizing the two jersey numbers (Nos. 8 and 24) that he wore during his illustrious career. Kobe Bryant Day took on a new meaning in 2020 following his death in a helicopter crash, which claimed the lives of eight others, including Bryant’s daughter, Gianna. Bryant certainly earned his day on the calendar, as he had an incredible Hall of Fame case as either No....

Lucky for us, in a podcast episode that aired last September, Kobe sat down with Newsweek contributor Jordan Harbinger and talked all about Kobe 2.0—from the motivational lessons he learned from then–assistant Los Angeles Lakers coach Tex Winter to studying how another superstar, Taylor Swift, stayed at the top of the heap.

Romelu Lukaku gave Everton the lead by finishing off Kevin Mirallas’ cutback before the provider turned scorer to add a second immediately after the interval. ‘Davies has pulled Pep’s pants down!’ Teenage midfielder Tom Davies scored the third by finishing off a mazy solo run before Everton debutant Ademola Lookman added further gloss to the scoreline by slotting through Claudio Bravo’s legs in injury time. Koeman felt the timing of his side’s goals was particularly important as Everton strengthened their hold on seventh place in the Premier League....
