Fabregas set up Willian’s second of the match as Chelsea provided an instant response to Peter Crouch’s 64th-minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge. It meant the Spain international reached three figures in terms of assists in his 293rd appearance in England’s top flight, comfortably bettering the 367 games it took Manchester United great Ryan Giggs. Another Old Trafford favourite, Wayne Rooney, is next on the list with 445 matches to reach 100, while Chelsea’s all-time record goalscrorer, Frank Lampard, hit the landmark in his 559th game....

The Chelsea midfielder went up for a challenge with Graziano Pelle but ended up on the floor holding his face, despite the Italian’s arms only hitting the midfielder in the chest. To make matters worse, Turkish official Cuneyt Cakir booked Pelle for his part in proceedings, but Fabregas slipped away scot-free. Italy had the last laugh though, as goals from Giorgio Chiellini and Graziano Pelle dumped Spain out of the tournament....

Facebook and Spotify Team up on Project Boombox Facebook announced several upcoming audio-based features, including Live Audio Rooms and Soundbites, both of which will help Facebook keep up with Clubhouse. But those aren’t the only audio experiences that Facebook is bringing to the table—a report by CNBC revealed a partnership between Facebook and Spotify. Zuckerberg told CNBC that Spotify and Facebook are working on something that’s known internally as “Project Boombox....

The social media website’s hate speech policy will now include Holocaust denial, Zuckerberg said in a post of his own on Monday. It’s a decision that he “struggled” with because it required him to walk a fine line between “standing for free expression” and the harm caused by “minimizing or denying the horror of the Holocaust.” “Drawing the right lines between what is and isn’t acceptable speech isn’t straightforward, but with the current state of the world, I believe this is the right balance,” Zuckerberg said....

ESPN reported Elliott would continue his holdout into the new season if the Cowboys did not sign him to fresh terms by the start of the campaign. However, Jones, speaking on 105.3 The Fan, said that ultimatum was “news to us and it certainly doesn’t change anything”. He characterised the Cowboys’ offer to Elliott as “very generous”. “I think you can easily get out of [training camp location] Oxnard [without getting deals done]....

The lead might be hyperbole, but the sentiment has been relayed over and over again throughout the past couple of seasons as the Cowboys have built one of the most formidable lines in NFL history. Every single starter on the line is an impact player. IYER: Cowboys’ perfect offense can’t be messed with Considering that, Dallas drafting Ezekiel Elliott to run behind that line seems unfair. The fact that he’s leading the NFL in rushing and averaging five yards per carry is not only not a surprise, it’s almost what one would expect....

This is a problem only when you want to go faster than the motor allows, or the battery runs out before you get to your destination. Speed is an issue for these sort of ‘twist-and-go’ electric bikes in any case. Provided it does not go faster than 15.5mph or 25km/hour, and its motor does not exceed 250W, electric bikes are not considered to be motor vehicles under UK law and can therefore be used on a cycle path or road, without a driving licence, registration or road tax....

Leclerc and his Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz, who will start at the back of the grid after having a new engine and control electronics fitted, were dominant during Friday practice but Verstappen hit back to go quickest in FP3. Leclerc found the response he needed with a hot lap of 1:30.872 in Q3 to pip the world champion to first place on the grid. It is the Monegasque driver’s 16th career pole and seventh this season, and he will now turn his attention toward attempting to claim back-to-back wins after his triumph in Austria last time out....

The 2022 F1 regulatory changes brought with it a return to ground effect in an attempt to improve the quality of racing. This design decision also brought with it porpoising, with cars bottoming out and violently bouncing up and down on their rear suspensions at near-top speeds. This phenomenon became a major safety concern during the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan GP weekend when multiple drivers complained about the potential adverse health implications tied to it....

Arsenal won the Community Shield last year making it 13 Shield titles, behind United’s 20 and Liverpool’s 15, whereas the Blues have only won it four times, their last victory coming in 2009. Both the sides will be expected to give the Wembley crowd something to cheer for as Wenger and Mourinho resume their epic rivalry. The Gunners’ boss will look to find a way to win his first competitive match against a Mourinho side, having never won against him....

Except for the trailer and a few comments made by the developer, there have been few details released about the game. Many fans can’t wait to hear more about the future of the Fable franchise, and that includes exactly whether the game will be Fable 4 or a new start to the classic IP. Despite the tight lid on development thus far, there might have been a few potential clues about what this new title will look like....

The database of over 533 million users was spotted on a hacking forum by Hudson Rock’s Chief Technology Officer Alon Gal.

This will be available with a future OS build that can be side-loaded in the Go. As of right now, we don’t know exactly when this build will be available to the public. Carmack confirms that it will happen “soon.” Likewise, Carmack isn’t sure about how Facebook will handle the distribution but believes that it “should just be up on the Oculus website” when it’s available for everyone....

The Super Eagles centre-back becomes the 43rd member to sign up for the global initiative and donate 1% of his salary to the project. Common Goal was co-founded by Manchester United’s Juan Mata in August 2017 as a movement of football players, managers and supporters who share a mission to change the game for good. And the 24-year-old who captained Nigeria to a 1-0 victory over Poland on Friday is delighted to link up with Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin and footballers including Mats Hummels, Giorgio Chiellini, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Vero Boquete, Serge Gnabry, Shinji Kagawa and coach Julian Nagelsmann in the project team....

The study, published in the journal American Psychologist, involved over 100,000 people across dozens of countries. It found those who scored highly for the traits of openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism were more likely to shelter-in-place when mandated or advised to by officials. Extroverts, however, were less likely to stay at home. The participants answered questions that meant researchers could categorize them according to what are known as the Big Five personality traits: extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism....

Qualifying is currently split into three sections, five drivers dropping out in Q1 and Q2 respectively before Q3 decides the order of the top 10, and pole position with it. The addition of Q4 would decide the position of Top 8 and Pole position but the make-up of the remaining sessions is yet to be determined. Qualifying regulations were under the microscope at the Singapore Grand Prix – with the top 10’s tyres locked according to the compound they used in Q2 at all races....

Rumours stepped from Gasly consistently underperforming in his Red Bull and scoring less than half the points that Max has until now. He has been out-raced in every session by Max and there’s been a clear gulf between the two drivers. However, these rumours were dismissed by Red Bull’s Helmut Marko who Gasly said called him up after Monaco “just to sort out everything”. “Honestly I don’t want to waste any time with this kind of bull****,” said Gasly in the build-up to the Canadian Grand Prix....

Brundle’s comments come after what Mercedes described as a back-breaking ordeal for Lewis Hamilton on the streets of Baku. The seven-time world champion was heard complaining on the radio about having a stiff back during the race. After the checkered flag fell, Hamilton’s discomfort was visible for the rest of the world to see as he struggled to emerge from the cockpit of his W13. Mercedes feels porpoising, the extreme bouncing caused by the return of ‘ground effect’ to the sport, is the primary cause for this....
