LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool raised the spirits with a rip-roaring 2-2 draw in a pre-Christmas Premier League classic on Sunday after a weekend marred by COVID-19 related postponements.
A mistake by Liverpool keeper Alisson gifted Tottenham's Son Heung-min a 74th-minute equalizer the hosts fully deserved although the visitors were fuming about some contentious decisions.
NBC Sports and Peacock received the ratio on Thursday as its coverage of Liverpool vs. Newcastle United on the subscription-based service, despite saying contrary on the menu, didn't start at all as planned with users getting a multitude of different errors before taking to Twitter.
+1 for coverage not working. Shows me the “starting shortly” screen for five seconds and then kicks me back to main menu.

LONDON — Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold earned a recall in a 33-man provisional England squad for Euro 2020 on Tuesday as manager Gareth Southgate played for time before whittling the numbers down.

El abuso online hacia los futbolistas se salió de control. Por lo mismo, la Premier League y sus clubes, además de otros aliados alrededor del mundo, decidieron iniciar una protesta que busca acciones concretas que ayuden a prevenirlo y desterrarlo. ¿Su método? Un apagón por cuatro días a sus redes sociales, una de las principales fuentes de los ataques.
Varios equipos y futbolistas, de hecho, no están actualizando sus perfiles en Twitter, Facebook e Instagram desde el viernes 29 de abril y no volverán hacerlo hasta el lunes 3 de mayo.
El chiste ya es viejo. Vinicius Jr. es de clase mundial regateando rivales, pero a la hora de definir frente al arco lo hace con la misma gracia con que la señora Cecilia Giménez restauró el Ecce Homo.
Gareth Southgate made the surprising decision to keep Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold off his England squad for March’s World Cup qualifiers. The 22-year-old, who was named to the PFA Team of the Year the last two seasons, wasn’t deemed good enough for the Three Lions, perhaps a victim of his club’s poor run of form.
LONDON - England manager Gareth Southgate has dropped Liverpool full back Trent Alexander-Arnold from his squad while recalling on-loan West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard for this month's World Cup qualifying matches against San Marino, Albania and Poland.
Alexander-Arnold has been a regular in the England squad since breaking into the side ahead of the 2018 World Cup but Southgate said his form had cost him his spot.
