Their first chance of the opening period came just after the 15-minute mark when Wrobel burst forward but while her effort from distance was wide of the post and didn’t look likely to trouble Sporting Lisbon, it did seem to energise the crowd. They did not have long to wait for a full charge. It was Wrobel who provided it when she lashed a right-footed effort into the back of the net after Sporting Lisbon had dithered in clearing their lines. Emily Wheelan’s ball into the box had been partially cleared only for Lisa Evans to head it back in. Abi Harrison got a touch to lift it on and while the ball bounced and the visitors prevaricated, Wroble turned to sink the ball well beyond the reach of Anna Wellmann. There were high fives in the touchline from Leanne Ross as she calml...

The Houston Rockets are off to an impressive 6-3 start, but in an uber-competitive Western Conference, that's good for just fifth place at the moment.

Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun have led the Rockets to a league-best offensive rating and a top-10 defensive rating as the team shows it has fixed its weaknesses while the strengths remain.Had Houston defeated the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 7, it probably would've ranked higher in ESPN's latest NBA power rankings. However, the Rockets are seventh in the league, placing one spot in front of the Los Angeles Lake...

Set the clock and watch the feet.  If you want to know why the Minnesota Timberwolves are abruptly an offensive juggernaut, check out Bojangles Astaire, aka Anthony Edwards, as he do-si-dos his defensive dance partners into a menagerie of jilted embarrassments.  Peep the flutter-back fox trot, where Ant appears to engage his man, even as a fellow suitor slides in for a double-team, only to tilt away from the feint, in the backwards opposite direction, aided by the momentum of a harsh crossover dribble, setting the second foot for fadeaway liftoff. It’s a rapid-fire kiss-off requiring the core strength of a squirrel, especially from the three-point hinterlands, although Ant has minted an assortment of midranges into the flutter-back mix.  That sets up the polka for suckas, retracin...

It's the end of an era at Tottenham. After lifting the Europa League title with the squad last season, club captain Heung-min Son has confirmed that he'll be leaving the club.
