Fulham clung onto top spot in the Sky Bet Championship after coming from behind to hold second-placed Bournemouth to a thrilling 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s side dominated proceedings in the first half and could easily have gone into the dressing room two or three ahead, but it was the visitors who struck first, when Dominic Solanke fired in seconds after the restart (46). As Fulham looked to recover, they went close with a host of chances, with 21-goal frontman Aleksandar Mitrovic denied on several occasions, but with six minutes to play, Tosin Adarabioyo’s header salvaged a point That equaliser denied Cherries boss Scott Parker a winning return to south west London six months after his departure. With both teams recording a third draw in succession, they remain in first and second spot, separated by just a point.

NEW ORLEANS — Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn had to step in for Mike McCarthy as acting head coach and enjoyed the sideline view as the unit he normally oversees lifted the Cowboys out of their recent swoon with a slew of big plays. CeeDee Lamb had 122 yards from scrimmage, Tony Pollard ripped off a 58-yard touchdown run and the Dallas defence produced a drive-stalling sack and three interceptions in the fourth quarter of a 27-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. The Cowboys (8-4) intercepted Saints quarterback Taysom Hill four times in all — three times in the final 6:32 of the game, including defensive tackle Carlos Watkins’ pick-6 on a screen pass that made it 27-10 with 2:52 left. “I finally got to see his emotion and expressions down on the sidelines,” Dallas rookie outside linebacker Micah Parsons said of Quinn, a former Atlanta head coach who normally calls defensive plays from a booth with Dallas. “It was good to see a smile on his face and it ...

The clock showed 22 minutes at Villa Park when Ederson claimed Ezri Konsa’s looping header, carried the ball towards the edge of his box and launched a pinpoint, diagonal pass out to Raheem Sterling some 80 yards away in Aston Villa’s half. There were audible gasps inside the ground as the ball, struck with that trademark flat trajectory, landed squarely at Sterling’s feet, Ederson turning defence into attack with one swing of his wand-like left foot. But in truth it is what we have come to expect from Manchester City’s playmaker in goal. The Brazilian’s outrageous distribution has been lighting up the Premier League for four years now, during which time others have been rushing to catch up. Today, the evolving role of the modern goalkeeper can be seen up and down the Premier League. Ederson, though, was ahead of the curve – even if he won’t say it himself. “Nowadays, having a goalkeeper with good feet is essential in any team that likes to build up play from the back,” he tells Sk...

Fresh from his featured 7/1 winner in midweek, our betting guru Jones Knows wants to back West Ham to get a result at home to Chelsea on Saturday. West Ham vs Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm Chelsea’s chance creation numbers are enough of a negative from the past two games to put me off backing them in this one at odds-on. They’ve averaged about 1.2 non-penalty expected goals per game over the last 180 minutes of football against Manchester United and Watford. That’s a little south of their usual 1.7 average under Thomas Tuchel. Also, when you thrown in their clear overperformance in defence in relation to their expected goals data, it certainly opens the door for a consistently dangerous attack like West Ham to trouble the scorers. That makes the 4/5 on both teams scoring very appealing. The Hammers have scored in 21 of their last 24 matches across all competitions and 63 per cent of their games since the start of last season has seen both teams score – the second highest strike rate in...

RALEIGH, N.C. — Alex Formenton scored twice and Josh Norris broke a tie 19 seconds after the Ottawa Senators lost the lead in their 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. Norris pushed in a rebound with 5:54 left and the Senators hung on for their league-low fifth victory of the season. Anton Forsberg made 47 saves for Ottawa in his seventh game with the Senators and 63rd of his career. He previously played for Columbus, Chicago and Carolina. The Hurricanes dropped their season-high third game in a row despite holding a 49-20 edge in shots. Teuvo Teravainen scored with 7:58 left on what was the 42nd shot of the game for the Hurricanes. Andrei Svechnikov tied it with 6:13 to go. Antti Raanta, who suffered his first regulation loss of the season in five decisions (3-1-1), made 17 saves for Carolina. Tyler Ennis notched two assists for the Senators, who had allowed at least four goals in each of their six previous games. Ottawa went up 2-0 with 10:55 remaining ...

MONTREAL — At least one fan has seemingly had enough of the Montreal Canadiens ‘ struggles this season. A Habs jersey was thrown onto the ice at Bell Centre in the third period of Montreal’s 4-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night by a spectator apparently tired of the Canadiens’ losing ways. “I saw it, it’s not a good feeling for the players,” said forward Nick Suzuki, who wears No. 14. “I think it was one of my jerseys so, I don’t know if it was, but I thought I saw a four.” With the loss, Montreal (6-17-2) entered its sixth losing streak of the 2021-22 season. The Canadiens fired general manager Marc Bergevin on Sunday but have lost two games since. “It’s tough to get booed but the fans want to see wins, they’re used to productive teams and we’re not doing that right now,” said Suzuki. “I can definitely see why they’re getting angry.” Ben Chiarot had the lone goal for Montreal. Goaltender Jake Allen blocked 30 of the 33 shots sent his way. The Habs were dealt y...

At the moment the starting lineups were being introduced at Scotiabank Arena the biggest single development in the game was already taking place: Giannis Antetokounmpo was in the hallway outside the visitor’s dressing room, stretching, and going through some light exercises wearing workout gear rather than his iconic No.34. If you were wondering how far the Raptors have fallen in the Eastern Conference pecking order, now you know: They’re a night off. The two-time MVP, Finals MVP and leader of the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks was taking a maintenance day on the second night of a back-to-back (calf soreness was the official reason) after scoring 40 points in 38 minutes the night before. Could the Raptors take advantage? They needed to. Entering the game Toronto had lost three straight including the first two games of their seven-game homestand, the longest of the season and the start of a stretch where they are scheduled to play 18 of 22 games at home. Screw that up an...
