bookies gambling Michael Van Gerwen progressed to the next round, but he didn't have it all his own way. The former three-time world champion stepped up to the oche for the second time at Ally Pally in his third round encounter with Irish star Brendan Dolan. And 'The Green Machine' managed to push through to the next round, picking up a 4-2 win with Dolan putting up a resilient display. Incredibly the high-scoring Dutchman averaged a whopping 118.7 in the fourth set, a sign towards the latter stages that he is capable of replicating his brilliant best. He looked to be cruising to a 4-1 victory but Dolan stole the fifth set and kept things interesting. Overall, Van Gerwen played well and was happy with his performance, but was left ruing missed opportunities in two of the sets. He said in his post-match interview: "It was tough, it was really hard and a really difficult game. "Everybody can see he never gives up and you have to try and punish him at the right moments and I wasn't capable of doing it. "I can only blame myself for that, but I was so glad that double eight went in at the end. "I thought after 1-1 I produced two really good sets but then I let it slip away. The fifth set was absolute c**p and you're not allowed to do that. "You have to keep performing and believing in your own ability and you want to do the right thing for yourself. "There is a lot of work still to do and I know I'm capable of doing it. I'm looking forward to the next round and let it roll on." Van Gerwen added in an interview with talkSPORT: "After the fourth set, it wasn't the best. "But luckily I had the right throws in the right moments, although I made it difficult. "Luckily in darts that happens, but I was pleased with that double 8 at the end. "But I was impressed with my will to win and my fighting mentality. "We all know I'm going through a bad patch in my career, but I'm trying to keep going. "I know I can do it if I keep fighting and believing in my own ability and everything is possible." Van Gerwen still remains one of the leading pack to claim the crown, alongside Luke Littler and Luke Humphries. He has the favourable side of the draw right now after his victory, and is currently highest ranked in it en route to the final. The former champion will face the winner of Jeffrey De Graaf's third round clash with Paolo Nebreida. Should De Graaf progress, he could be a real threat given his previous giant killing of Gary Anderson earlier in the tournament.

Marco Silva has urged his ex-Arsenal stars to inspire Fulham to victory at Tottenham . Three points would see the Cottagers leapfrog their London counterparts in the table as Silva's side bid to bounce back from last weekend's shock home thrashing at the hands of Wolves . And the Fulham boss wants Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Alex Iwobi, all Gunners academy graduates, to make themselves heroes, stating: "I haven't spoken with Emile, Reiss or with Alex about this situation. "However, probably their feeling is going to be different about the game. The reaction towards them from the Tottenham fans is also probably going to be different than with me or Kenny Tete or Issa Diop. "If it can give them a different level of motivation, then it would be good for us. They are in Fulham now and they fight really hard for us. I know they are proud to be part of the club in this part of their careers." "If it can give them a different level of motivation, then it would be good for us. They are in Fulham now and they fight really hard for us. I know they are proud to be part of the club in this part of their careers." Ahead of the matchup, stubborn Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou boldly declared he is "not interested" in pragmatism after Tottenham threw away a late lead in their Europa League draw with Roma in midweek. Silva, however, revealed that while he has huge admiration for his opposite number, he had no choice but to evolve in order to make Fulham competitive again in the Premier League . The Portuguese said: "You adjust things, you are always trying to add things and in life, you can never stand still. "Yes, in some moments I know I like to play football and be on the front foot but sometimes it does depend on the opponent and whether the other team allows you to do it. "What I see from Ange is that you can always talk about the identity of the team. You can choose an idea but you have to convince the players. "I really respect him, I have my idea and identity and what I see from Tottenham is one clear idea from a very good manager and he goes with it until the end." Fulham will be without imperious centre-back Joachim Andersen this weekend after the Dane suffered a calf injury against Wolves. Harrison Reed, Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon are also sidelined.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Suspected gang members opened fire on journalists in Haiti's capital on Tuesday as they were covering the attempted reopening of the country's largest hospital, wounding or killing an unknown number of people. Haiti's interim president, Leslie Voltaire, said in an address to the nation that journalists and police were among the victims of the vicious Christmas Eve attack. He did not specify how many casualties there were, or give a breakdown for the dead or wounded. “I send my sympathies to the people who were victims, the national police and the journalists,” Voltaire said, pledging “this crime is not going to go unpunished.” There were concerns there could be fatalities — a video posted online by the reporters trapped inside the hospital showed what appeared to be two lifeless bodies of men on stretchers, their clothes bloodied. One of the men had a lanyard with a press credential around his neck. Radio Télé Métronome initially reported that seven journalists and two police officers were wounded. Police and officials did not immediately respond to calls for information on the attack. Street gangs have taken over an estimated 85% of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. They forced the closure of the General Hospital early this year during violence that also targeted the main international airport and Haiti’s two largest prisons. Authorities had pledged to reopen the facility Tuesday but as journalists gathered to cover the event, suspected gang members opened fire. Video posted online earlier showed reporters inside the building and at least three lying on the floor, apparently wounded. That video could also not be immediately verified. Johnson “Izo” André, considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of a gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince , posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital's reopening. Haiti has seen journalists targeted before. In 2023, two local journalists were killed in the space of a couple of weeks — radio reporter Dumesky Kersaint was fatally shot in mid-April that year, while journalist Ricot Jean was found dead later that month. In July, former Prime Minister Garry Conille visited the Hospital of the State University of Haiti, more widely known as the General Hospital, after authorities regained control of it from gangs. The hospital had been left ravaged and strewn with debris. Walls and nearby buildings were riddled with bullet holes, signaling fights between police and gangs. The hospital is across the street from the national palace, the scene of several battles in recent months. Gang attacks have pushed Haiti’s health system to the brink of collapse with looting, setting fires, and destroying medical institutions and pharmacies in the capital. The violence has created a surge in patients and a shortage of resources to treat them. Haiti’s health care system faces additional challenges during the rainy season, which is likely to increase the risk of water-borne diseases. Poor conditions in camps and makeshift settlements have heightened the risk of diseases like cholera, with over 84,000 suspected cases in the country, according to UNICEF.

Michael Clay didn’t sugarcoat his evaluation of the team’s kickoff coverage unit a few days after the Eagles’ 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders. At the start of his weekly news conference Tuesday, the special teams coordinator acknowledged the role shaky kickoffs and the favorable field position the group conceded to a rolling Washington offense as a result played in the loss on Sunday. “We put our defense in terrible situations,” Clay said. “One, starting off the game with a penalty is not what our standard is. Then coming back and letting them have a big return. For us, from a special teams standpoint, there have been some good instances we did have in that game, but overall it was not up to our standard. We put our defense in a bad spot.” With Eagles punter Braden Mann handling kickoffs, the Commanders averaged 29.4 yards per return. Mann’s first kick fell short of the designated landing zone, resulting in the Commanders offense getting the ball at the 40-yard line and Mann’s ensuing kickoff floated enough to give Luke McCaffrey a crease for a 47-yard return. Clay said Mann struck the opening kickoff “fat,” meaning he hit the ground just before the ball and noted the location of his kicks along with an overall lack of execution from the rest of the unit led to the poor results. “I think it was a mixture of both,” Clay said. “Obviously we’d like a little bit more distance on our kickoffs, we can’t have the ball land at the 16 or the 15-yard line, but it’s never always on one person, there’s 11 guys out there. And first of all, it starts with me from the top, I have to get these guys far more prepared in terms of getting off blocks, violently shedding. Kickoff coverage is very similar to defense. You can make up for a mistake by hustling to the ball and playing with fundamentals of block destruction. I don’t think we did a good enough job getting off blocks.” It’s worth noting the cold, blustery conditions at Northwest Stadium played into Mann’s struggles. He averaged 55.4 yards traveled on his eight kickoffs, but was inconsistent with a 43-yard opening kickoff and two others that made it 50 and 53 yards, respectively. By comparison, Washington kicker Zane Gonzalez averaged 59.8 yards per kickoff and didn’t have any travel shorter than Mann’s average. Even with the elements making it harder to rely on specialists to kick the ball through the back of the end zone for a touchback, Clay pointed to Mann’s third kickoff that led to a tackle at the 22-yard line as an example of what a well-placed kick can do for the coverage unit. “Playing in the Northeast, you’ve got to understand that ball isn’t going to travel,” Clay said. “It was what, 20 degrees on Sunday? And we knew that going in. But what can help out, I think on our third kickoff, was the placement and make the returner go left and right because it just adds an extra second or two for our coverage to get down there. When we did that, we strung it out and they were down at the 22-yard line. So just better precision on our location on kickoffs to help out the coverage team.” Clay also didn’t rule out the possibility that Jake Elliott could replace Mann on kickoffs for the season’s final stretch, alluding to the prioritization of preserving the kicker played into the decision to use Mann in the first place. “A lot of it has to do with, can we preserve Jake going forward?” Clay said. “And Braden does have a very strong leg, he’s always had that going from college. But it’s always a topic of discussion going week by week. We may switch it up, we may not, but what Braden’s done kickoff coverage-wise has helped a lot.” After an uncharacteristically poor performance, Vic Fangio is urging his young defense to focus on bouncing back. Even though the group forced five turnovers against Washington, costly penalties, explosive plays, and three touchdown drives in the fourth quarter overshadowed all else. And while the defense came into the game ranked No. 1 in both points and yards allowed, Fangio said he won’t let his players’ dominant stretch for most of this season influence how he addresses the errors made against the Commanders. “No, you don’t say it’s just a blip,” Fangio said. “You’ve got to learn from all your experiences, both good and bad, and improve. We’ve got to get back to playing, not have three unsportsmanlike or whatever they’re called, two times 12 on the field. We’ve got to get back to playing better football.” For the Commanders final touchdown drive, which covered 57 yards in the final two minutes of regulation, Fangio said Washington caught the defense in some unfavorable looks. “My calls could have been better,” Fangio said. “I think if my calls were better we would have had a better result. But give them credit, they executed and they played well.” The final play of the series with 11 seconds remaining in particular put the Eagles defenders in a bind. Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury called a route concept specifically for the match zone coverages the Eagles often call and forced linebacker Zack Baun to choose between two in-breaking routes at different depths. Fangio said Baun could have stuck with Commanders receiver Jamison Crowder on the deeper of the two routes “a little longer” to prevent the 9-yard touchdown catch, but acknowledged the coverage they were in put the linebacker in a tough position. “We could have played it a little better,” Fangio said. “But it was a good play that they ran against the coverage that we were in. Again, I could have been in a better call.” Washington’s offense found ways to hurt the Eagles defense in areas few teams have this season. The Commanders generated a handful of explosive plays, including a 51-yard completion to Dyami Brown against Darius Slay and a 32-yard touchdown catch from Terry McLaurin against Quinyon Mitchell a few plays later. “We just got beat,” Fangio said. “We could have played with better technique, but they ran go balls on our guys, and we got beat.” Specifically on Mitchell’s conceded catch, the first completion for 30-plus yards the rookie has allowed since Week 4, Fangio said Mitchell “was kind of guessing and probably shouldn’t have,” which explains why the cornerback was so slow to react to McLaurin’s burst upfield and toward the end zone. EJ Smith writes for the Philadelphia InquirerColorado is gearing up for the rugged Big 12 schedule, but first the Buffaloes wrap up their nonconference slate with two more games, starting Friday night when they host South Dakota State in Boulder, Colo. Colorado (7-2) has won two straight after competing in the Maui Invitational, most recently a 72-55 win over in-state rival Colorado State. Now the focus turns to South Dakota State and shoring up issues before conference play. "Defensively, we're understanding what our jobs are. Now, we're not where we need to be for sure," coach Tad Boyle said. "But we're making strides in that area. And I think the guys are getting used to playing with each other, understanding each other." The Buffaloes lost a lot of talent from last year's NCAA Tournament team but boast some quality players. Andrej Jakimovski (13.0 points per game), Julian Hammond III (12.3 ppg) and Elijah Moore (12.0 ppg) lead the team in scoring. Sophomore big man Bangot Dak has shown he can be a force after scoring a career-high 16 points in the win over Colorado State. The Jackrabbits (8-4) are coming off a 77-63 loss at Nevada on Wednesday night and complete a two-game trip in Boulder. South Dakota State is led by senior center Oscar Cluff, who tops the team in scoring (17.3 points) and rebounding (11.0) but had a subpar night against Nevada when he scored a season-low six points while battling an ankle injury. "I wish he was feeling a little better," coach Eric Henderson said of Cluff. "He's going to be fine, but he's still nursing that ankle a little bit." Freshman Joe Sayler is second on the team in scoring at 12.8 ppg and has reached double figures in each of the last three games. Sophomore Kalen Garry is third on the Jackrabbits in scoring at 9.6 per contest, an average that has been hurt by his last three games when he has averaged just 5.3 points. --Field Level MediaThe BMC has now issued a work order to repair the Jog Flyover in Andheri East, a project that had been delayed due to the model code of conduct during the state assembly elections in November. The repairs, which became urgent after a section of the flyover's superstructure fell onto a moving car in July, were further complicated by ongoing litigations and a tussle between multiple agencies. The Western Express Highway, including the Jog Flyover, was transferred to the BMC for maintenance from the MMRDA in 2022. The flyover was originally built by the Public Works Department (PWD), who awarded the contract to construct the flyover to Jog Engineering Ltd (JEL) in 1997-98. In April 2024, the BMC commissioned a structural audit through the Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), which recommended major repairs. Following this, the BMC began the tender process for the estimated Rs 95 crore repair work, with plans to later seek reimbursement from the MMRDA. "Due to the model code of conduct, the work order could not be issued earlier, but now that it has been lifted, the repairs would proceed without further delay. Though we intend to seek compensation from the MMRDA for the expenses incurred. But now we will not delay the repairs, especially when public safety is at stake," said a senior civic official. After the slab collapse in July, the BMC initially wanted the MMRDA to carry out the repairs on the flyover. As per civic sources, the MMRDA rejected BMC's request and stated that PWD should carry out the repairs since the bridge belonged to them.
