The midfielder - on loan from Real Madrid - put in a sensational performance, running the show for Arsenal, having 97 touches - more than any of his team-mates. Ceballos also attempted 70 passes and created four chances and became the third Arsenal player to register two assists on his first Premier League start. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, against Everton in 2018, and Ray Parlour had previously achieved that feat. It was some way to make an impression for Ceballos, who has struggled to cement his place at Madrid....

A disgruntled fan base has narrowed its focus on the man in the dugout at Emirates Stadium, with calls for Wenger to be moved on in the summer growing in intensity. The Frenchman is due to be out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to discover if he will be offered an extension. ‘Critics don’t understand the game’ Slipping out of Premier League title contention and crashing out of the Champions League have done little to aid his cause, although the Gunners have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup....

What is believed to have sparked the incident was the author’s first husband, Archibald Christie, asking for a divorce in August 1926. He had an affair with a woman named Nancy Neele, leaving his marriage to Agatha in tatters. Months later, on the evening of December 3, Christie left her home in Surrey. BBC reported that Christie’s car was found “hanging precariously over the edge of a chalk cliff later the same day....

While there are many different supposed origins of Father’s Day, it is most commonly linked to a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, who thought of the idea during a Mother’s Day sermon. Dodd came up with the idea in 1909 with her father in mind. He was a farmer and Civil War veteran as well as a widower who had raised six children. Working with the Spokane Ministerial Association and YMCA, she helped establish the first Father’s Day in Washington state on June 19, 1910....

There has been no equivalent story in my adult lifetime, and there is unlikely to be a similar story again any time soon. This is not the type of corporate development one typically reads about in The Wall Street Journal or sees discussed on CNBC. The story is a unicorn. The remarkable nature of the Elon Musk/Twitter saga, and the specific revelations about Twitter’s blacklisting of the infamous 2020 campaign-era Hunter Biden laptop story and its censorship/shadow-banning of myriad other right-leaning content creators, has led many on the Right to fete Musk with praise—at times, even fawning adoration....

The host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher mocked what he labeled as America’s applauding of overweight and obese people, saying healthy people “should be pointing out that being fat is unhealthy” in an episode aired September 6. Corden responded on The Late Late Show Friday night by detailing his own struggles with weight loss and criticized Maher for saying “fat-shaming needs to make a comeback.” Dozens of Hollywood celebrities and TV personalities applauded Corden’s rebuke of Maher’s regressive call to fat-shame, with The View co-host Meghan McCain thanking Corden for responding to a Maher in a comical yet stern rebuttal....

Tom Rogic and James Forrest scored before halftime and Moussa Dembele converted a second-half penalty to complete the commanding triumph over the side who have been Celtic’s biggest challengers in Scotland over the last two seasons. The victory at Hampden Park helped ease Celtic’s dismay at having been eased out of Europe for another season by Barcelona four days earlier as they extended their domestic pre-eminence with a 10th straight victory this season....

Pique postures as Barca president A section of fans at Parkhead unfurled a banner featuring a person in paramilitary uniform at the game, which Celtic won 4-0 to seal a 6-0 aggregate win. In the wake of the incident, Celtic released a statement that read: “Any support for a paramilitary or proscribed terrorist organisation has no place at Celtic Park.” The fine was also imposed for stairways being blocked, but the club were not punished over a charge relating to a kit infringement....

Kyrie Irving scored a team-high 22 points and spoke after the game about the reason for Boston’s recent success. “I think the important thing to take [off] our shoulders early on was just how much of the fun we weren’t having. It just wasn’t fun,” Irving said, via MassLive.com. “I know certain guys would probably be fearful to talk about it, but it goes on in every NBA locker room....

From that seed grew the legend of the Celtics and Hayward. At the time, Hayward was just days beyond failing to sign a contract extension with the Jazz, setting him up for restricted free agency and possibly paving the way for an offer from Boston. It all just seemed so natural. Of course Hayward—a young tennis player plucked from relative recruiting obscurity years earlier by Stevens, who nurtured him into a star for the Bulldogs—would eventually rejoin Stevens on the NBA level....

The Celtics suffered their fifth loss in their last six games with a 115-104 defeat to the Houston Rockets at TD Garden on Sunday. “Obviously, we’ll look at everything,” Stevens told reporters, via ESPN. “We’ve been looking at everything after every game. Every night when you go to bed, every minute when you wake up, you’re always thinking about that. There’s things that – that are helpful in that, and things that are not helpful....

“I’m at a complete loss for words right now,” read text that appears at the beginning of the video. She showed what looks like recently piled up soil, which she infers is because they have buried someone else on top of her sister’s body. “There’s a body buried on top of my sister,” she said. In a follow-up video, you can hear a conversation with someone who appears to work at the cemetery where she explains how the process of purchasing plots goes....

Queen Elizabeth II died last week at the age of 96, and her passing has been met with both sadness and celebration. Many have condemned some public places for celebrating the queen’s death and Sky, a TV network owned by Comcast, censored some comments made by late-night host Oliver. While the network will not air the full version of the episode on its U.K. and Irish platforms, Oliver’s comments regarding the queen were shown on HBO’s broadcast, which aired on Sunday night in the U....

The research challenged earlier assumptions that the central section of the San Andreas Fault did not create severe earthquakes, compared to other parts of the fault. The authors suggested instead that serious earthquakes of large magnitudes have happened there in the past and could happen again. The San Andreas Fault is the border section between two massive tectonic plates under the surface of the Earth—the Pacific and North American plates....

Joseph Smith, of Fishkill, New York, along with co-conspirator Dennis Mason, understated startup costs, overstated the number of franchises operating, and exaggerated the financial success of existing franchises to potential franchise owners, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a press release. Smith and Mason advertised the sale of franchises for New York Bagel on Craigslist, at least in Washington state and Maryland. The duo charged potential franchise owners fees ranging between $7,500 and $44,500 to gain rights to open a store, according to the DOJ....

A goal from Luis Suarez and a Lionel Messi brace were enough to give Barcelona the victory and keep their quest for a historic third treble alive. That scoreline, however, did not fully reflect how the match went as Liverpool gave a good account of themselves for most of the match and perhaps, deserved something more. In this piece, we shall be taking a look at four reasons why Liverpool lost the match to Barcelona....

A shoulder injury sustained by Mohamed Salah early in the game followed by a horrific goalkeeping display from Loris Karius saw the Reds losing the final with a 3-1 margin. Karim Benzema capitalized on a Karius blunder as Gareth Bale scored twice later in the game to seal the win for the European giants. However, Jurgen Klopp’s men have come strong this season, reaching the semi-final with no trouble. Though, they now face an arduous task of locking horns with reigning Spanish champions, FC Barcelona....
