Man City Beaten Liverpool Prevail in Thrilling Encounter

LIV 4-3 MCI

City were last beaten in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, 30 EPL games ago. They were unbeaten in 33 games in England in all domestic competitions. They were unbeaten in 10 games after the blip at Ukraine against Shakthar Donetsk.

Until they stepped into Anfield today.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds avenged their 5-0 loss in the reverse fixture. They put 4 past the team that had conceded only 13 in the competition. In typical Red style, they also conceded 3 goals.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hit the opener in the 9th minute after the hosts started the game rapidly. City grew into the game slowly and started dominating possession. They got their equalizer 4 minutes before half time as Leroy Sane tuned Joe Gomez inside out and beat Loris Karius at the near post.

In the 2nd half, Liverpool were looking to hit on the counter and were happy to hand the visitors the possession. In the 59', Liverpool caught City in possession and romped into the lead. Ox played a pass to Firminho who outmuscled John Stones and chipped the ball over Edersen into the back of the net. Mane then extended the lead with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box as the hosts once again took advantage of some loose City passing in their own half. Six minutes later, Mo Salah scored his 19th goal of the season with an audacious lob over Edersen miles away from the goal after the City keepper left his posts to clear a ball outside the box. Bernardo Silva & Gundogan scored a couple of goals at the death and threatened to launch a comeback but the hosts held on for a massive win.

Liverpool are now unbeaten in 15 games in all competitions.

World’s first sex shop shuts down, declares bankruptcy

Germany’s pioneering sex shop chain, Beate Uhse, said Friday that it has filed for insolvency, as the empire started by a female World War II pilot fails to rise to the challenge posed by erotic e-commerce. In its hey day, the group sold lingerie, erotic films and sex products. Uhse began her foray into erotic business in 1946, when she put together a pamphlet called “Document X” describing how women could avoid pregnancy. In post-war Germany, her advice was in high demand and she sold thousands of copies of her brochures. The mail order business thrived and the former fighter pilot and member of the Luftwaffe opened in 1962 her first shop in the German town of Flensburg. Named Institute of Marital Hygiene, the store selling lingerie and contraceptives became the world’s first sex shop. Her activities often ran counter to the morality of post-war Germany and she was called before the courts in thousands of legal suits filed against her. Yet she remained frank and unashamed about...

John McCain has brain cancer, his office says.

Veteran US Republican Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with brain cancer and is reviewing treatment options, according to his office. The options may include chemotherapy and radiation, his doctors said. The 80-year-old politician is in "good spirits" recovering at home. The tumour was discovered during a surgery to remove a blood clot from above his left eye last week. A Vietnam veteran, Mr McCain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war. The six-term senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate underwent surgery at a clinic in Phoenix, in the state of Arizona, last Friday. Tissue analysis revealed that a primary brain tumour known as glioblastoma was associated with the clot, a statement from the Mayo Clinic said. "The senator's doctors say he is recovering from his surgery 'amazingly well' and his underlying health is excellent," it added.

When will President Buhari be considered incapacitated?

AT the homestretch of the 2015 presidential election, the Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election campaign team challenged then candidate Muhammadu Buhari to a sport contest. When the gauntlet was left unpicked, the team in a follow up, set the internet abuzz with the juxtaposition of the pictures of President Jonathan and members of his Federal Executive Council jogging and that of not-too-good- looking candidate Buhari. The challenge which came on the heels of simmering conjectures on the health condition of candidate Buhari was aimed at passing one message which is: President Jonathan is healthier than candidate Buhari to carry out the duties of the office of president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But was “health” given a premium in the election? The vuvuzelas of the opposition party was so fortissimo that not even the yawping of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state could be heard. They rally-cried “Nigeria sai changi” and people responded wi...
