Pogacar leads Giro by nearly 7 minutes after stunning win in Giro's Queen stage
The Associated Press | Posted May 19 - 10:25 a.m. | Save Story
What Tadej Pogacar wants, he normally gets. The Slovenian star had said he wanted to win the Queen stage of the Giro d'Italia and that's just what he did on Sunday. He destroyed his rivals on the toughest leg of this year's race to add three minutes to his already considerable advantage. There is just one week remaining of the Italian grand tour. Pogacar finished the 15th stage 29 seconds ahead of Nairo Quintana and 2 minutes, 32 seconds ahead of third-place Georg Steinhauser. Pogacar now leads the Giro by 6:41 seconds over Geraint Thomas, with Daniel Martinez 6:56 behind in third.
Phil Foden scores 2 early goals to put Man City on course for the Premier League title
James Robson, Associated Press | Updated May 19 - 10:23 a.m. | Save Story
Manchester City moved closer to a record fourth-straight Premier League title after Phil Foden fired the three-time defending champion into a 1-0 lead against West Ham inside two minutes. Foden then added a second to put City in complete control after 18 minutes. City needs to win its final game of the season to be certain of winning the title ahead of second-place Arsenal. And if there were any nerves among the homes fans at Etihad Stadium, they were likely blown away by Foden's brilliant goal. Receiving a pass from Bernardo Silva, Foden side-stepped West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse and unleashed a left-foot shot that rocketed into the top corner for the opening goal.

Max Verstappen held off a challenge from McLaren's Lando Norris to win the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and extend his Formula 1 championship lead. Verstappen started on pole position and stayed ahead of Norris at the start but was put under pressure by the McLaren driver again near the end. It was the defending champion's fifth win in seven Grand Prix races this year and followed Verstappen being beaten by Norris in Miami two weeks ago. Norris placed second and Charles Leclerc was third for Ferrari.
Record set for most goals in a single season in the Premier League
The Associated Press | Posted May 19 - 9:59 a.m. | Save Story
The Premier League has never seen so many goals in a single season. Jarell Quansah's strike for Liverpool against Wolverhampton at Anfield took the number of goals scored in England's top flight this campaign to 1,223. That's a record. There are various factors that could be behind the increase in goals this season. They include longer games because of more stoppage time, more attack-minded coaches and the weakness of the promoted teams. The previous record of 1,222 goals in a season came in the inaugural 1992-93 Premier League campaign when there were 22 teams in the division.

Moises Caicedo has done a David Beckham. The Chelsea midfielder collected a scrambling clearance from Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto, took a touch and drove a shot from near the halfway line into the net for a remarkable goal in the teams' final game of the Premier League season. It gave Chelsea a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute. Beckham famously scored from a similar distance for Manchester United on the opening day of the 1996-97 season against Wimbledon in one of the league's most famous goals.

Bukayo Saka has been left out of Arsenal's squad for the season-ending game against Everton because of a "slight muscle issue," the club said. Arsenal still has a chance to win the Premier League title for the first time in 20 years if it beats Everton and Manchester City drops points against West Ham, but will have to do it without one of its best players. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard started on the wings instead. Full-back Jurrien Timber was on the bench for the first time since tearing his ACL during the first league game of the season.

Schuyler Dixon, Associated Press | Updated May 19 - 7:10 a.m. | Save Story
P.J. Washington Jr. made two free throws before an intentional miss with 2.5 seconds left, lifting the Dallas Mavericks to a 117-116 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dallas moved on to the Western Conference finals for the second time in three seasons. Washington was fouled by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on a 3-point attempt after Chet Holmgren put the Thunder in front 116-115 with a dunk. The Thunder could only get a desperation shot from well past half court after Washington's missed free throw following two makes for a one-point lead. Dallas trailed by 17 in the second half. Luka Doncic had 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 36 points.

The 27-year-old Biles posted an all-around score of 59.500, nearly two points clear of runner-up Shilese Jones. Gabby Douglas, the 2012 Olympic champion, saw her hopes for a career comeback at 28 take a hit. Douglas fell twice on uneven bars in her first event and pulled out of the final three rotations.

Collin Morikawa went to sleep with a share of the lead at the PGA Championship. He's well-aware that by the time he reaches the first tee box for the final round, he might not have it anymore. A low-scoring third round left a record 15 players at double-digits under par and within five shots of Morikawa and Xander Schauffele heading into the finale at Valhalla Golf Club, which has mostly been soft, still and defenseless all week. Among the many with a chance to overtake Morikawa before he hits his first shot are Sahith Theegala, who is one shot out of the lead. Shane Lowry, who shot 62, will start the day two shots behind.

Juventus Under-19 coach Paolo Montero will take charge of the senior team for the final two matches of the season after Massimiliano Allegri was fired last week. The 52-year-old Montero has never coached a Serie A team and will take charge of his first training session on Sunday before the team plays at Bologna the following day. Juventus ends the season at home to Monza next weekend. Montero played nearly 300 matches for Juventus between 1996 and 2005 and has coached the Under-19 team for the past two years.

Kylian Mbappé has been left out of the squad traveling to Metz on Sunday for the final league game of the season. PSG has already been crowned champion for a record-extending 12th time. The star striker, who is leaving PSG after seven seasons at the French league club, has not been included in a group of 20 players selected by coach Luis Enrique. Asked to comment, PSG did not give a reason to justify Mbappé's absence. The forward, who is widely expected to join Real Madrid, is not in the list of PSG players who are not available because of an injury. Mbappé is the club's all-time top goalscorer with 256 goals, including 191 in the league.

Major League Baseball is expected to investigate former Angels player David Fletcher for gambling on sports with a bookmaker who also took bets from Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because they weren't at liberty to discuss such impending matters. ESPN reported Friday night that Fletcher placed bets with Mathew Bowyer, an alleged illegal bookmaker in Southern California. Federal prosecutors say Ippei Mizuhara stole nearly $17 million from Ohtani to pay off sports gambling debts during a yearslong scheme, at times impersonating the Dodgers superstar to bankers. Fletcher currently is with the Braves' Triple-A affiliate.
Disputed penalty in final minutes gives Whitecaps a 1-1 draw against Sounders

Ryan Gauld scored on a penalty kick in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time, and the Vancouver Whitecaps salvaged a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders. Gauld's tying goal came following a lengthy video review where referee Victor Rivas and video official Pierre-Luc Lauziere determined Seattle defender Nouhou committed a handball inside the penalty area in the 90th minute. Gauld sent Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei the wrong direction with his left-footed shot for his fourth goal of the season. Gauld also scored against the Sounders in a 2-0 win last month. Seattle's Jordan Morris scored his second of the year in the opening minutes of the match but the Sounders will feel it was a harsh penalty decision that cost them the chance at three points.
