Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:33:55 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Joshua Dobbs first discovered his ability to run with the ball — and fondness for it — when he started playing the sport as a 6-year-old growing up in Georgia. That scrambling speed and instinct for pass rush evasion are vital skills in the NFL these days, an unexpected jolt of energy for the Minnesota Vikings after the season-ending Achilles tendon injury to Kirk Cousins threatened to veer off course their bid for the playoffs.Sometimes there’s a simpler explanation, too.“There’s a lot of large individuals on the other side of the football, and it’s painful when they hit you, so it’s more of running not to have to be hit by those guys,” Dobbs said. “It’s always been part of my game, and now the key is always finding ways to make sure that aspect of the game is never lost.”Dobbs has 389 rushing yards this season, including his totals with the Arizona Cardinals before he was acquired by the Vikings in an emergency trade, that’s second only to Baltimore’...

Garnacho scores acrobatic wonder goal for Man United to revive memories of famous Rooney strike

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho scored an acrobatic wonder goal in the Premier League on Sunday off a bicycle kick that revived memories of a similar strike by Wayne Rooney in a Manchester derby 12 years ago.With his back to goal, Garnacho met a deep cross from near the byline by Diogo Dalot with a flying overhead kick that sent the ball beyond Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and into the top corner of the net at Goodison Park.It came in the third minute of the match to give United a 1-0 lead.The goal had echoes of Rooney’s famous overhead kick against City in 2011 that secured a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.Garnacho looked astonished that he had pulled off the effort, which was slightly further away from goal than Rooney’s. The Argentina international ran off to deliver a Cristiano Ronaldo-style pirouette celebration in front of Everton’s fans.___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSource

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Everton fans marched in their thousands to Goodison Park ahead of the match against Manchester United on Sunday, protesting against the decision to dock the team a Premier League-record 10 points for breaching financial rules.Supporters on the march held up pink cards featuring the word “corrupt” and the logo of the Premier League, and chanted “We shall not be moved.” On one huge banner read the message: “Where there is power, greed and money … there is corruption.”There is widespread anger at the Merseyside club at the severity of the sanction handed out by a disciplinary commission for going less than 20 million pounds over the maximum losses allowed of 105 million pounds ($130 million) across a three-year period, according to the league’s profit and sustainability rules.This was Everton’s first match since the club received a punishment that many in soccer feel doesn’t fit the crime.
