Wrexham are heading to the Championship: This is the story of their third straight promotion season
Even for a club dubbed ‘Hollywood FC’ and whose players recently starred alongside Channing Tatum in a Super Bowl advert, Danny DeVito high-fiving supporters in a Los Angeles bar to celebrate a stoppage-time winner remains one of the more surreal moments this season.Ollie Rathbone’s darting run and angled shot from 20 yards to break the deadlock against Barnsley was certainly worthy of such an effusive reaction from the 80-year-old as he joined fellow It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-stars in saluting Wrexham’s goal.AdvertisementBut still, DeVito is acting royalty, and this was a match being played two tiers below the Premier League and 5,200 miles away. The footage of DeVito’s celebrations quickly went viral with comments such as, “Just when you thought you’d seen it all!”To those with inside knowledge of Wrexham’s rise under co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney — […]
Crystal Palace je prvním finalistou Anglického poháru
Semifinálový účet otevřel Eze, který nejprve zamířil z dálky přesně pod břevno a po změně stran si došel pro penaltu. Ale Francouz Mateta selhal a poslal míč vedle pravé tyče. Stalo se mu to poprvé po jedenácti úspěšných pokusech. Další dva góly přidal Senegalec Sarr, na něhož nebudou hráči Aston Villy rádi vzpomínat. V únoru jim také dvěma brankami připravil ligovou porážku 1:6.Crystal Palace je v lize až dvanáctý, ale má šanci probojovat se do pohárové Evropy, což se mu ve stodvacetileté historii ještě nepodařilo.Semifinále Anglického fotbalového poháru:Crystal Palace – Aston Villa 3:0 (58. a 90.+4 Sarr, 31.

Nicht einmal mehr im Kader! – Bayern-Kandidat bei seinem Klub völlig unten durch
Christopher Nkunku steht bei Chelsea vor dem Aus! Der französische Stürmer, den Bayern-Sportvorstand Max Eberl (51) nach München holen wollte, hat in London den Anschluss an die Mannschaft verloren, berichtet „RMC Sport“. Er wird den Verein wohl im Sommer verlassen – und das wohl in beiderseitigem Einvernehmen, wie es heißt.Seit seinem Wechsel vor zwei Jahren konnte Nkunku an der Stamford Bridge nicht überzeugen. Verletzungen warfen ihn zurück, und auch nach seiner Genesung blieb der erhoffte Durchbruch aus. Nur sechs Tore in 38 Premier-League-Spielen, von denen er lediglich elfmal in der Startelf stand, sprechen eine deutliche Sprache.

Graham Potter suggests West Ham players accountable for Brighton loss: ‘There is a lot of baggage’
Graham Potter suggested West Ham United’s players need to be held accountable following their 3-2 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.Potter’s side were leading 2-1 in the 83rd minute — courtesy of Tomas Soucek’s eighth league goal of the season — but capitulated following goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Carlos Baleba in the 89th minute and stoppage time.AdvertisementIt is the fifth time since March that West Ham have struggled to see out games, having dropped points late against Everton, Bournemouth, Liverpool and Southampton in that timeframe.“The players are in a bad situation in terms of the season we’re having so there’s a lot of baggage there,” said Potter in his post-match press conference.“You have to sustain the good things and see out the times when things get tough. We weren’t about to do that. We have to look at how […]

Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft is down to Day 3 after an exciting and unpredictable two days, which began with the first round on Thursday night in Green Bay. Shockingly, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders was still on the board after not being selected in the first three rounds, and that's still the case with the fourth round now completed.Round 4 began with a run on offensive playmakers, as the Titans snagged Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike, the Jaguars added Virginia Tech speedster Bhayshul Tuten and the Giants landed do-it-all running back Cameron Skattebo. It turned out to be a big round for running backs, as six heard their names called.Other notable picks included defensive linemen Deone Walker (Bills, No. 108) and Ty Robinson (Eagles, No. 111), edge rusher Jack Sawyer (Steelers, No. 123) and wide receivers Jaylin Lane (Commanders, No. 128) and […]
