Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:30:18 GMT

BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — Eddie Howe’s return to Bournemouth turned into a nightmare after Dominic Solanke’s brace condemned Newcastle to a 2-0 defeat in the Premier League on Saturday.Magpies boss Howe, who was the Cherries manager the last time they beat Newcastle in 2017, saw his side’s seven-match unbeaten league run end and its injury crisis deepen.Newcastle was already missing 11 players through injury and suspension. It then lost Miguel Almiron to what looked like another hamstring problem midway through the first half.Bournemouth had to wait an hour before Solanke finally made the breakthrough. When Joe Willock challenged Antoine Semenyo, the ball rolled off him into the path of the former Liverpool striker, who raced into the area and lashed his shot inside Nick Pope’s near post.Pope saved a fierce drive from Marcus Tavernier but Bournemouth doubled the lead from the following corner in the 73rd, with Solanke flicking the rebound home with his heel after Luis Sinisterra’s...

PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappe scored a hat trick and Gianluigi Donnarumma made six decisive saves to send Paris Saint-Germain to the top of the French league with a 3-0 win at Reims on Saturday. Four days after a Champions League loss to AC Milan, it was a hard-fought win for PSG, which was second best for long spells in the Champagne city but was opportunistic and clinical in converting its chances.Reims, one of the most attack-oriented teams in Ligue 1, had many chances to score but Donnarumma was unbeatable. The fifth straight league win moved PSG one point above Nice, with Reims in fourth place, seven points off the pace. The visitors did not take long to break the deadlock when Ousmane Dembele accelerated down the right flank and delivered a superb cross to the far post. Mbappe volleyed the ball from inside the box to fire a right-footed shot past Reims goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf into the opposite corner after just two minutes.That was Mbappe’s 11th goal in the French league t...

Probablemente no haya ningún monstruo en el lago Ness. Pero encontramos uno de sus secretos mejor guardados

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:30:18 GMT

Escocia (CNN) — No es el volumen de agua del lago Ness lo que impresiona, aunque es una cantidad considerable. Al fin y al cabo, tiene 37 kilómetros (23 millas) de largo y paredes empinadas que se precipitan en un abismo de 230 metros (754 pies) de profundidad, suficiente para sumergir dos veces el Castillo de Edimburgo.Lo que llama la atención es su inquietante oscuridad. La turba de los ríos y arroyos circundantes llega al lago, creando un agua de un marrón tan intenso como el té que sale de las teteras de las casas de huéspedes del cercano pueblo de Drumnadrochit y de las Highlands. Pero hace frío, mucho frío, una media de 4 ó 5 grados centígrados durante todo el año.“Podrías estar nadando a 60 centímetros de un submarino de 122 metros y no lo verías”, dice Alan McKenna, trabajador social de día y, en su tiempo libre, fundador del grupo de investigación Loch Ness Exploration. “Es como un mundo perdido ahí abajo”.Los entusiastas de Nessie partieron en...
