Postecoglou era off to good start as Tottenham beats Man United. Liverpool overcomes Bournemouth

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:36:18 GMT

LONDON (AP) — As Ange Postecoglou made his way to the far end of Tottenham’s stadium to applaud supporters after his first home game as Spurs manager, he was greeted by a white wall of fans giving him a standing ovation. If any of those supporters still had lingering doubts about the club’s direction following a summer of upheaval, it’s safe to say that beating Manchester United 2-0 in the English Premier League on Saturday went a long way toward winning over skeptics. Yes, the Harry Kane era is over at Tottenham. But the Postecoglou era could be worth getting excited about as well.“The support was outstanding, right from the first whistle the crowd were outstanding,” Postecoglou said. “They carried us through the first half because we were nervy. … We’re showing bits of our game today. I saw enough that encourages me.”It should encourage the fans, too.Playing the brand of attacking football that the Australian manager promised to bring to north London,...

Denny Hamlin will start from the pole at Watkins Glen International on Sunday, the third time the NASCAR driver will lead the Cup Series field to the green flag at a road course this season.Hamlin turned the two fastest laps in the final round of qualifying Saturday to edge William Byron for the top spot. Hamlin covered the 14-turn course in 70.392 seconds and reached a top speed of 125.298 mph. Byron was second at 124.961 mph.“There were a few spots where I feel like I still could have got a little but more,” said Hamlin, who earned the 40th pole of his Cup career. “But you can’t nitpick when you’re that good.”Starting near the front is usually advantageous on road courses, where passing can be difficult. Hamlin, though, is 0 for 2 from the prime sport on NASCAR’s serpentine courses this season. He started from the pole in Sonoma and finished 36th, and he started first at Chicago and came home 11th.Michael McDowell, one of the best drivers on road courses th...

LONDON (AP) — Perhaps Tottenham will be just fine without Harry Kane. Pape Matar Sarr scored early in the second half and Lisandro Martinez added an own goal to give Tottenham a 2-0 win over Manchester United in the English Premier League on Saturday. It was just the kind of result manager Ange Postecoglou needed in his first home game to build a sense of belief as the club — and the fan base — move on from the departure of Kane to Bayern Munich.After a lively first half, Sarr put Spurs ahead in the 49th minute after Dejan Kulusevski made a good run down the right and broke into the area. The Swede’s low cross was deflected into the path of Sarr, who slotted it into the roof of the net from close range.The game had been wide open in the first half and the goal turned up the tempo even more, with chances flowing at both ends.United nearly responded immediately; Antony hit the post with a left-footed curler at the other end and Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made a diving one-...
