Tottenham begins life without Kane with 2-2 draw at Brentford in Premier League

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:19:33 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Tottenham began life without Harry Kane with an entertaining 2-2 draw at Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday. All four goals came in an action-filled first half that gave a first indication of what Tottenham will look like without its talismanic striker under new manager Ange Postecoglou. A day after Kane sealed his move to Bayern Munich, Spurs dominated possession and scored from its only two efforts on target in the first half, and yet still had to come from 2-1 down after being undone defensively on a couple of occasions. While both teams settled into a more cautious rhythm after the break, the opening 45 minutes of Postecoglou’s reign were enough to show that his underlying tactics will be a far cry from his predecessor Antonio Conte’s defensive rigidity and focus on counterattacks.And while Spurs couldn’t find a winner, a draw at Brentford could be seen as a positive first step given that Thomas Frank’s team beat Manchester United, Manchester Cit...

Red Sox notebook: Bullpen taking shape as Whitlock returns from IL

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:19:33 GMT

As injuries have mounted over the past few weeks the Red Sox have been forced to rely on a number of Triple-A call-ups and depth arms to help keep the ship afloat.It hasn’t always been pretty, but as the club returns to full health the bullpen is beginning to take shape.Garrett Whitlock was activated from the injured list on Sunday and is expected to return to the multi-inning relief role in which he dominated as a rookie two years ago. With his addition the Red Sox now have eight relievers who could be comfortably described as high-leverage guys, and once Tanner Houck returns to the fold next week the Red Sox will have their full pitching staff available for the first time all season.Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Whitlock’s return could be a game-changer.“Now we can balance the bullpen,” Cora said. “Usage-wise it’s been a challenge the last 10-12 days with so many close games, now adding him to the equation and using him the way we did before, m...

Tiago Tomas had two goals off the bench for Wolfsburg.Makkabi, which was founded by Holocaust survivors in 1970, had already made history just by qualifying for the 64-team German Cup – by winning the Berlin Cup for the first time – to become the first Jewish club to take part since the tournament was started under the Nazis in 1935.
