LONDON (AP) — A week after shocking Manchester United, Crystal Palace was held to a 0-0 draw at home to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday. In Palace manager Roy Hodgson’s 400th Premier League, his team could not mark the occasion with a win, while injuries to Jeffrey Schlupp and Jairo Riedewald were a concern. Morgan Gibbs-White came closest to scoring for Forest at Selhurst Park when he clipped the inside of the post in the first half and Jean-Philippe Mateta could have scored for Palace after the break. Palace had won 1-0 at United the previous week, but could not add another three points against Forest.Forest should have taken the lead after 20 minutes when Gibbs-White’s side-foot volley beat Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and caught the inside of the post, but did not cross the line.Palace came close in the second half when Tyrick Mitchell found Odsonne Edouard, who picked out Mateta on the right edge of the area and his effort rolled just wide.Forest wa...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:20 GMT

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Jude Bellingham equaled the fantastic scoring numbers at Real Madrid of Cristiano Ronaldo’s start with the club on Saturday.The England international took his tally to 10 in as many games after netting twice to help Madrid rout Osasuna 4-0 and keep the Spanish league lead. That was the best scoring start for a new Madrid player since Ronaldo also scored 10 in his first 10 games after his 2009 transfer from Manchester United.Not only has the 20-year-old Bellingham started filling the big boots of an aging Luka Modric, he is also helping Madrid to quickly move past the exit of Karim Benzema amid a still unsuccessful pursuit of Kylian Mbappé.“He puts on his Superman cape in nearly every game,” veteran defender Dani Carvajal, who set up Bellingham’s opener, said about his new teammate.Bellingham sent a message that he was oozing with confidence when he accepted the No. 5 of Zinedine Zidane at Madrid. But nobody expected him to score at this rate, not ...

JERUSALEM (AP) — Backed by a barrage of rockets, dozens of Hamas militants broke out of the blockaded Gaza Strip and into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in an unprecedented surprise early morning attack during a major Jewish holiday Saturday.
