Manchester City 5 Liverpool 0: Aguero, Jesus & Sane punish Mane red Russell Greaves Last updated 2 years ago 21:31 9/9/2017 
Getty Images Sadio Mane’s red card left Liverpool vulnerable and Manchester City capitalised in a 5-0 win on Saturday. Manchester City underlined their Premier League title credentials with a 5-0 thrashing of Liverpool as Sergio Aguero set a goalscoring landmark and Sadio Mane saw red.Saturday’s contest at the Etihad Stadium burst into life when Aguero broke the deadlock to become the Premier League’s all-time leading non-European goalscorer on 124.Liverpool were left facing a huge uphill battle when Mane was dismissed for raising his boot in a challenge for a bouncing ball with goalkeeper Ederson, who was taken off on a stretcher after prolonged treatment, but later confirmed to have escaped serious injury.

Klopp also endured the joint-heaviest defeat of his managerial career. The victory takes Pep Guardiola’s men to the summit for at least a few hours, with their opponents now three points back following a first loss of the campaign.Record breaker… #mancity pic.twitter.com/jFYbdo2PZL— Manchester City (@ManCity) September 9, 2017Without the injured Vincent Kompany or suspended Raheem Sterling, City were initially put on the back foot by a visiting line-up still devoid of wantaway forward Philippe Coutinho’s services.Nicolas Otamendi’s clumsy challenge on Mohamed Salah gave the visitors an early sight of goal from a free-kick just to the right of the penalty area, but Alberto Moreno’s shot struck the two-man wall.City responded well and Kevin De Bruyne called compatriot Simon Mignolet into action at the other end, the Belgian goalkeeper making a solid save from the midfielder’s powerful low shot.Mignolet was also equal to Fernandinho’s skidding effort in the 13th minute as City began to emerge as the greater attacking force.And the breakthrough came when Liverpool’s defence was cut open by Kevin De Bruyne’s throughball and Aguero coolly rounded Mignolet before slotting home his sixth goal in as many home Premier League games against the Reds.Mane threatened an instant riposte with a surging run, which Fernandinho brought to a halt by foul means just on the edge of the box, earning a booking for his troubles.Emre Can was wasteful with the set-piece and City breathed another sigh of relief when Ederson saved smartly at Salah’s feet soon after.It was Liverpool’s turn to fret next when Ragnar Klavan was caught in possession deep in his own half by Jesus, who forced a corner from which John Stones drew a reflex stop from Mignolet.The visitors’ task was made all the more difficult when Mane saw red following his challenge on Ederson, ending both players’ outings, with Claudio Bravo introduced for City.Record breaker… #mancity pic.twitter.com/jFYbdo2PZL— Manchester City (@ManCity) September 9, 2017And Guardiola’s side made their numerical advantage count when Jesus, who had already seen a goal ruled out for offside, headed in the second from the impressive De Bruyne’s assist.Liverpool were evidently deflated and the game was put beyond them when Aguero selflessly squared for Jesus, taking Mignolet out of the equation and leaving his team-mate with a simple finish.The best was still to come from City’s perspective, with Sane – on for Jesus, substituted with an eye on Wednesday’s Champions League match at Feyenoord – putting the finishing touch on a flowing move before adding a fifth by arrowing a stunning left-footed strike into the top corner.Liverpool, meanwhile, will host Sevilla in midweek nursing the heaviest loss of Klopp’s tenure. Key Opta stats: – This was Jurgen Klopp’s first Premier League defeat away from home to one last season’s top seven sides (P10 W5 D4 L1).- Manchester City netted 5+ goals in a game versus Liverpool for the first time since March 1937 (5-1).- Since he made his Manchester City debut, Kevin De Bruyne has assisted 2+ goals in seven different Premier League games (29 assists in total in that period).- Sergio Aguero is now the top scoring non-European player in Premier League history (124), overtaking Dwight Yorke (123).- Aguero is the fourth player in Premier League history to score in six consecutive home apps vs a single side (also Alan Shearer against Everton, Thierry Henry against Aston Villa and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink against West Ham). read more

Eriksen saved Tottenham’s Champions League campaign with a late goal against Inter and while it might be a bit much to say this one has saved their title challenge, it at least keeps them in touch with Liverpool and Manchester City.“We are in a very good position,” said Pochettino, celebrating his 100th Premier League win. “That is the reality: after 17 games, we have 39 points and are third in the table. It’s a massive achievement for us – we are there, we are close.“Look at what happened in the Champions League. After three games we had only one point – nobody believed, but we believed it was possible. The most important thing in football is belief and faith and if you give 100% all can happen.” BUR30TOT70% Goal attempts 12 Spurs Off target 4 Burnley 3 Spurs On target 0 Burnley (s 90′) 10 Barnes Fouls (s 80′) Share on Messenger Raúl Jiménez puts Wolves on their way as Bournemouth struggle again 1 Lloris 16 Walker-Peters 4 Alderweireld 20 Alli 25 Lennon 17 Sissoko 22 Gazzaniga Share on Pinterest But while not many of the 41,645 in attendance will have enjoyed most of their afternoon, Mauricio Pochettino was delighted. “We know very well you need to play 90 minutes plus. I’m so happy because we played much better than the opponent. It would have been a frustrating afternoon if we hadn’t got the three points. For us, it was about having patience. The character and mentality of the team was amazing, to keep pushing. It was a massive effort to finish the week in that way.”With those games either side of this one in mind, Pochettino made five changes, including giving the 18-year-old midfielder Oliver Skipp his full debut. “Fantastic. Fantastic,” Pochettino said about the youngster, who at first glance looks like the mid-point between Eric Dier and Harry Winks. “He played like a 30-year-old man. I said to him ‘You look so relaxed.’ That’s the difference between someone who’s going to be a top player against someone who was a normal player like me.” Substitutes 10 Kane Premier League Last Tuesday, Tottenham played Barcelona in the Camp Nou for a place in the Champions League knockout stages. On Wednesday, they face Arsenal in a League Cup semi-final. A game against Burnley in front of a half-full Wembley, rain sheeting down and adding an extra chill to an already freezing Saturday, was always going to be what advertising types call a tough sell.Thank the lord then, for Christian Eriksen. For 90 minutes, it was the sort of grim afternoon that might lead everyone to question their life choices, the 0-0 scoreline to that point even less interesting than it might sound.Tottenham are a different team when Eriksen is on the pitch: mostly that is for his invention and the way he seems to gently control games as if he is a delicate marionette operator, but this time it was his finishing. The Dane was brought on as a substitute to conjure something for a sluggish Spurs side, which he did just as second-half injury-time began, sweeping home his late winner and causing several Burnley players to sink to the turf. Cruel old game, football. (s 75′) Lineups 52 Skipp Possession

Admittedly, Wembley is an expensive and very well-appointed caravan, but the point is nobody wants to be here, the novelty wore off some time ago and everyone is grumpy. Share on WhatsApp Perhaps because of the changes, perhaps because they have bigger fish to fry, Spurs lacked their usual intensity, looking like a team who just wanted to get this game out of the way; understandable perhaps, given the fixtures it came between, a little like asking someone to get excited about the tap water that arrives after the lobster and before the steak.They struggled to make chances and squandered the ones they did create before Eriksen’s winner, most notably from Son Heung-min and Dele Alli in the closing stages, as that frustration almost graduated to desperation.

A Liverpool legend in the making: Behind Virgil van Dijk’s remarkable rise to world’s best player Wilshere remains confident that an extension will be agreed to prolong his stay in north London, but he has suggested that no agreement is imminent.“There’s not a decision to make in January,” the 26-year-old midfielder told Sky Sports.
“I’ve still got six months left of my contract, I’m an Arsenal player and I’m enjoying playing week in, week out.“I’ve had loads of questions about my future and there’s nothing more I can say until something’s official and we can concentrate on the future but right now, I’m concentrating on each game as it comes.“I’ve just got back into the team and the club, I suppose, were just waiting for that moment where I’ve proved my fitness and I’ve proved that I can play in the Premier League each week for a top club so now that’s happened.“We’re not waiting for anything really, maybe the right time when there’s a little break in the fixtures – which there’s not – but I’m sure in a couple of weeks, something will get done or the boss will say something and we’ll go from there.”For now, Wilshere is focused on shaking off another untimely injury and maintaining the fine form he has displayed over recent weeks.

I really enjoyed the other night [against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup], it was my first start as captain and walking the boys out was a special feeling for me and my family so that is something that I want to do. I never really stopped dreaming about that.“There was a time last year when Arsenal were playing against Bournemouth at the Vitality where I sat in the crowd watching and thinking ‘am I going to go back to Arsenal and play?’ but apart from that, I never really thought about not becoming the player everyone thought I would be or not fulfilling my potential.“I just wanted to prove my fitness at Bournemouth then come back here and try and get into the team. I played the long game and I worked hard. I’m not saying that’s over but I’m in the team now and I need to work even harder maybe to keep my place and improve as a player as well.”

Minister of Health, Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton, says the Government is on course to solving most of the problems affecting the Cornwall Regional Hospital by early 2018. Story Highlights He indicated that repairs had been done to some sections of the building, noting that based on the fact that that the operating theatres cannot be moved, some inpatients remain at the hospital.
Minister of Health, Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton, says the Government is on course to solving most of the problems affecting the Cornwall Regional Hospital by early 2018.“For the most part, we are on track with the renovations. We did say to the public that we would have most of the issues solved by the first quarter of next year. We are moving ahead with that,” he said. “I would think that most of the issues would be dealt with and the facility back up and running by the first quarter of next year,” he added.Dr. Tufton was addressing a Think Tank at the agency’s head office in Kingston on Tuesday (September 5).He indicated that repairs had been done to some sections of the building, noting that based on the fact that that the operating theatres cannot be moved, some inpatients remain at the hospital.“We have moved out some of the patients to the back, following some renovations to what used to be student nurses quarters, so we’re operating inpatient care in that facility,” he explained.He noted that nearly 500 patients are being seen per day at the neighbouring Seventh-day Adventist Western Jamaica Conference Centre, where outpatient services are being accommodated.As many as 10 clinics operate from the facility.The renovations are to address the problem of noxious fumes emanating from an old ventilation system at the St. James-based hospital. The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is managing the operation.Minister Tufton said technical experts brought in have recommended that a new system be put in place.In addition to addressing the vent system, the project also involves plumbing, electrical work and rearranging of the facility to ensure a more efficient layout in order to administer better and more efficient patient care.Dr. Tufton noted further that old and outdated diagnostic machines are to be replaced with more modern equipment.“I think we have been able to cauterise the problem and develop a roadmap for where we are, and it is now a work in progress,” he said.He said the Ministry will be providing monthly updates on the progress of the work.

For the remaining finalists – Circleville High School (Circleville, Ohio), Foothill High School (Henderson, N.V.), McCracken County High (Paducah, K.Y.) and Parker High School (Parker, S.D.) – Vans awarded each with $4,000 toward their arts programs.Six years in, Vans Custom Culture continues to inspire creativity and individuality among high school students across the nation. Each year, Custom Culture has challenged them to create their own unique pairs of Vans for a chance to fund art education at their school. Nearly 3,000 high schools – the most in competition history – participated in this year’s event, designing four pairs of blank Vans based on four themes: Action Sports, Art, Music and Local Flavor. The winning design has the opportunity to be produced and sold in select Vans retail stores, as well as online at Vans.com.“Year after year, Vans Custom Culture surpasses our wildest expectations, from the level of high school participation nationwide to the student creativity we see in all of the designs that come through as part of the competition,” said Kevin Bailey, VF Action Sports Coalition and Vans President. “With arts education budgets continuing to suffer across the nation, Vans is thrilled to provide a platform to help talented youth find their creative voice and express themselves through art and design. Vans hopes that Custom Culture will inspire others to take up the cause of underfunding of public school arts education and further provide opportunities for creative expression.”Vans Custom Culture partners truth and Journeys also provided participating schools with an additional opportunity to raise funds for their art programs. Journeys selected the display that best represents the “local flavor” theme from the top five finalists. truth, the nation’s most successful and longest running youth smoking prevention campaign, inspired the 50 semi-finalists with the fact that in 2014, only 8% of teens still smoked. That’s down from 23% in 2000. truth challenged the students to customize a skate deck by imagining what it looks like when smoking is finished for good. Carlsbad High School from Carlsbad, California won both the truth and Journeys prices respectively $10,000 and $15,000 to benefit its arts education program.Join in the Vans Custom Culture conversation by using the hashtag #VansCustomCulture and at www.vans.com/customculture to get all of the details on the winner of the 2015 competition.

The contactless revolution has swept up pensioners to push the value of card payments above cash for the first time, new industry figures show.The number of over-65s embracing tap-and-go technology has soared, boosting card transactions to become Britain’s primary payment choiceAppearing to shrug off concerns over the security of PIN-free transactions, more than half of older shoppers now use contactless regularly, trade association statistics reveal.Debit card payments totalling 13.2 billion eclipsed the 13.1 billion payments made in cash in the United Kingdom last year, with supermarkets being the most popular place to use contactless technology.Cash is now the second most common form of payment and is predicted to make up just 36 per cent of transactions in ten years’ time. Between 2016 and 2017, contactless payments increased by 97 per cent.

The new report published by UK Finance shows that for the first time more than half of over-65s use contactless cards, compared to two-thirds of UK consumers at large.Mervyn Kohler, a spokesman for Age UK, said: “I think we’re looking at an older population which is deeply polarised between those that embrace new technologies and those that wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole. “There are an awful lot of old people who would be petrified at the thought of a contactless card clocking up bills that they can’t actually remember, and if they’re living on a very tight budget that’s the last thing they would want.“On the other hand, with a contactless card you don’t need to worry about remembering a PIN, you don’t need to get your specs out to be able to see a keypad and manipulate your way around the keypad to enter your PIN when your fingers are nasty and arthritic, so I can see the plus side for people who are confident about using them.”

The Columbia River Crossing offered a clearer picture Tuesday of what a bridge with up to 110 feet of clearance would be.Raising the Interstate 5 Bridge component of the $3.5 billion project by 15 feet would significantly steepen approaches on both ends, according to an ongoing CRC analysis. It would begin to encroach on federal airspace. It would add $36 million — about 1 percent — to the price tag.But such a move would not add to the project’s currently planned footprint in downtown Vancouver, said CRC task leader Jay Lyman. He and others called the added impacts “modest” compared to what some height — not yet known — above 110 feet would trigger.The new details were presented in Vancouver before a Washington legislative oversight committee. Months after long-standing plans for a 95-foot-high bridge were rejected by the U.S. Coast Guard and others, the CRC continues to search for a new way forward.CRC leaders have said impacts would be much more severe — and much more costly — at some point beyond 110 feet. Project officials plan to conduct similar analysis for a bridge height of 115, 120 and 125 feet in the next few weeks to determine what’s feasible, Lyman said.They’ll have to settle on a number before filing a bridge permit application with the U.S. Coast Guard — which the CRC plans to do late this year or early next year. The Coast Guard, which holds bridge permit authority, must sign on in order for the project to move forward. And the agency must be convinced that the CRC has done its best to avoid impacts to river users — something current plans don’t do, according to the Coast Guard.
