By Ultan Corcoran @UltanCorcoran First place took on second place this afternoon in the Bundesliga. The hotly anticipated meeting of Stuttgart and Leverkusen finished 1-1. Photo: Bayer 04 Leverkusen Stuttgart dominated the opening half and were in fact unlucky not to be further ahead at the break. Aside from Amine Adli’s venomous strike off the upright in the 9th minute, Leverkusen were largely chasing shadows. A rare sight this season. Lukas Hradecky’s brilliance in goal could only keep the Swabians at bay for so long. A host of saves repelled Undav, Guirassy, and Fuhrich throughout the half. However, the…

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has said that the club had enough chances to win the game against Aston Villa and he was partly at fault for the 1-0 Premier League defeat away from home.

The hosts opened the scoring in just the 7th minute through John McGinn and his goal proved enough in the end for Unai Emery’s side to come on top…
Surging UFC light heavyweight Khalil Rountree tries not to take in what fans say – unless, of course, they have a really good idea. When Alex Pereira captured the UFC title at 205 pounds, adding his second octagon title in his seventh UFC fight, Rountree said his social media blew up. Fans liked the matchup. The problem was, at that point, Rountree couldn’t make a very strong case for the fight. He needed to beef up his resume. On Saturday, Rountree did just that by stopping one-time title challenger Anthony Smith, who fell prey to his preternatural power in the…

Continue his growth with everybody, not just me. Garrett [Nussmeier], Rickie [Collins], the guys who are coming after,” Daniels said. “Being a mentor for them.

Major League Baseball and its fans are no strangers to the ongoing phenomenon that is Japanese baseball and the players who got their start across the globe from where they would later become household names. One of them, two-way marvel and new Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani, has even become the highest-paid player in the history of the sport. Ohtani’s agreement with the Dodgers is fitting in more ways than one — not only has he found a spot on a high-priced, star-studded roster, he’ll also be joining a franchise that has already played host to some of the most talented…
