Liverpool will 'stay humble' - but lead at top 'feels different'

At first it was just a small section of fans singing it. 'Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league... Liverpool, top of the league' they chanted after Curtis Jones marked his 100th Premier League appearance by sweeping his side into a 2-1 lead against struggling Leicester. It was much louder after Mohamed Salah scored his 19th club goal of the season in the 82nd minute to seal a 3-1 win. Having fallen behind in the fifth minute, Liverpool were well on their way to a win that propelled them seven points clear at the top with one game in hand on their nearest rivals. Of course, Liverpool have been here before. In the 2018-19 season, they led by 10 points only for Manchester City to win the title.

"But the most important thing is we need to stay humble. "This one is very special, hopefully we win the...

Notre Dame Defeats Indiana in Historic Expanded CFP Opener

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman was thrilled after the historic win. "I've never experienced anything like that," he said. "It’s rare in life to be the first to do something, but tonight, we were the first to play and win a playoff game in Notre Dame Stadium. That’s something we’ll cherish forever." Defensive coordinator Al Golden, who has helped build a strong defense, reflected on the significance of the moment. "Notre Dame's history is so rich that it's hard to be part of a 'first,' but now everyone in that locker room can say they were part of history," Golden said. Notre Dame jumped to a 14-0 lead early, thanks to Jeremiyah Love’s record-breaking 98-yard touchdown run and a long 16-play drive ending in Riley Leonard’s pass to Jayden Thomas. Love’s run was the longest in CFP history, tied for the longest in Notre Dame history, and the longest play Indiana has ever allowed. Despite recovering from a knee injury and illness, Love ma...

Le Dow Perd Plus de 1 100 Points, Enregistrant sa Plus Longue Série de Pertes Depuis 1974

Le Dow Chute de Plus de 1 100 Points, Marquant sa Plus Longue Série de Pertes Depuis 1974 L'indice Dow Jones Industrial Average a enregistré une forte baisse de plus de 1 100 points en une seule journée, marquant son déclin le plus important depuis des mois et sa plus longue série de pertes consécutives depuis 1974. Ce recul significatif reflète une inquiétude croissante des investisseurs face à l'inflation, aux politiques de la Réserve fédérale et au risque d'un ralentissement économique global. Principaux Facteurs à l'Origine de la Déclin 1. Inquiétudes sur l'Inflation : L'inflation persistante continue de peser lourdement sur l'économie.

Augmentations des Taux d'Intérêt par la Réserve Fédérale : Les investisseurs se préparent à des hausses de taux ...
