Hazard the PL’s most important star Hazard scored both goals in a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, netting the winner 10 minutes before half-time after Willy Caballero saved his initial penalty. Antonio Conte’s men appeared set to go 10 points clear until Tottenham completed a stunning late turnaround to beat Swansea City 3-1. “It’s a big win of course. I don’t know if the way we played was beautiful but the most important thing is to win games,” Hazard told BT Sport after being awarded the man-of-the-match award....

The Texas GOP tweeted an image on Saturday urging people to follow the party on “free speech” social media app Gab. The Gab platform has almost no censorship rules and is known to be used by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists. It has attracted waves of new users since the Parler app was shut down for promoting the insurrection on January 6. The Texas GOP was condemned for the post promoting Gab and for using its slogan “We are the storm” in the tweet....

Subsequently, the club was thrown into turmoil, with coach Jorge Costa, in particular, enduring a torrid time as those in attendance kept throwing tricky questions at him. Thus, at such a juncture, one would’ve expected the players to slightly retreat into their shell and bide their time before an opportunity came calling. Yet, on a sultry afternoon in Navi Mumbai, Modou Sougou failed to give in to those aforementioned notions as he painted a picture of positivity amid the gloom engulfing the club....

After taking a 2-0 lead in a five-match ODI rubber last month, India faltered and were defeated in the rest three matches and lost the series. “In the last 30 months, India has been playing really well, and the loss, much to the credit of the way Australia played, came at the back end of a very busy series,” Dravid was quoted as saying by The Times of India....

Taking to his social media accounts, Jaffer used Sri Lankan Kumar Dharmasena’s reference to get back at Neesham. He pointed out that India are okay with having the DRS system for their games. Jaffer also hilariously mentioned how they also have a liking for DRS as a person, referring to Dharmasena. Here’s what he posted: Dharmasena was one of the on-field officials for New Zealand’s 50-over World Cup final against hosts England in 2019....

But Tottenham lifted the gloom with a gritty victory at St James’ Park thanks to first half headers from Jan Vertonghen and Dele Alli. Spurs boss Pochettino saluted his players for refusing to be distracted and called on supporters and the squad to stay together....

There was a television set in the den, and the hostages could channel-surf between soccer games and the coverage of their own plight. But then, with a wave of their Kalashnikov assault rifles, the two women among the 20 or so guerrillas would commandeer the TV to watch their favorite soap opera: “MarIa From the Barrio.” For more serious fare, seminars were organized in the dining room. Hostages gave hourlong presentations on their specialties, ranging from economics and polling to Andean and Japanese food....

Inserting COSTAR was the make-or-break task of last week’s $629 million mission to repair the myopic space telescope (NEWSWEEK, Dec. 6). But the four astronauts making a record five spacewalks did more than deliver a high-tech contact lens. On this most complicated shuttle mission ever, they also completed every one of the scheduled repairs (diagram), an awesome sweep that promised to do more for NASA’s tattered image than anything since the glory days of Apollo....

Goals from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min had Spurs 2-0 up inside 12 minutes at Wembley, with the South Korean then also hitting the crossbar. Liverpool 11/8 for top four finish Mohamed Salah pulled one back for the visitors in the 24th minute, but further goals from Kane and Dele Alli left Jurgen Klopp’s men on the end of a comprehensive defeat. Dejan Lovren endured a particularly difficult start and was taken off after 31 minutes, but Henderson feels that every Liverpool player was in danger of suffering the same fate....

BARAK: Basically, we responded positively to the ideas of Clinton. We have some reservations, but we say that if the other side will take it as a basis, we will agree. I will not sign a document that will pass sovereignty over the Temple Mount to the Palestinians. At the same time, we are not going to ignore the fact that there are mosques [that have been] there for some 1,300 years....

Tulowitzki hit ninth and went one for four with a strikeout in New York’s 7-2 Opening Day win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. The 34-year-old shortstop, who was making his team debut, was asked about batting last when he met with reporters after the game. “To be at the bottom of the order, that was different for me,” Tulowitzki said. “Just goes to show how good it is, it really doesn’t matter....

The MLB posted a clip of Perez’s clutch home run to Twitter. This home run would turn out to be the hit the Royals needed to win a tough road game. The New York Yankees have won more than any other team in baseball, but this only makes the losses hurt even worse. Losing in the fashion they did makes it all the more difficult to stomach. This loss has caused some fans to lose faith in the lineup, fearing there are weaknesses that might not be addressed....

In July the lads from Manchester return with “Heathen Chemistry,” which experiments with three songs written by Liam Gallagher. NEWSWEEK’s Bret Begun talked to the not-exactly-G-rated Noel Gallagher about the upcoming album, his love of technology, brother Liam, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke-and those people at Sony. NEWSWEEK: One British reviewer called “Heathen Chemistry” a “vast improvement on the last two Oasis offerings.” What were the problems with “Be Here Now” and “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants”?...

Scholes tips Man Utd in title race WIth Rojo having enjoyed fine form at the heart of the United defence in the last two months and with Eric Bailly leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations, Mourinho has conceded that he is a little worried....

No. When the Soviet Union’s structures have fully disintegrated, when the matter of Gorbachev is resolved, then it will be necessary to meet with Mr. Bush. We respect Gorbachev, and we want him to shape his own destiny. We decided not to act too hastily. We want this to happen in the course of December, or by the middle of January. No. He is a top-class politician. And for him that appointment would be, or so it seems to me, offensive....

Idaho potatoes have been famous for so long that we love quirky ideas and taking risks in the right way. Everything we do is approved by a team of growers, shippers and processors who make up our nine commissioners, but if something works, it works. We typically sit down in April each year and ideas for the next year are presented. These brainstorming sessions are a lot of fun; sometimes an idea just pops up when we’re sitting there....

The study, by the respected Lewin-VHI consulting firm, concluded that it was possible, as Clinton proposed, to extend health care to all Americans without a general tax increase and that more than half of all Americans will pay less for the same or better coverage. Beyond that, Lewin-VHI found that the Clinton plan would be far more costly to consumers, companies–and the government–than the White House maintains. “There’s plenty of ammunition for us,” said a GOP congressional strategist....
