Omar Marmoush’s rapid Manchester City hat-trick demolishes Newcastle

Omar Marmoush arrived in the winter window as a 20-goal forward for Eintracht Frankfurt and against Newcastle emphatically showed why, via a scintillating 14-minute first-half hat-trick that tore the opposition apart. For the Egyptian and Manchester City, joy; for the visitors, despair, as they were sent home reeling, on the back of a 16th consecutive Premier League reverse here.

At the break, a home fan suggested it was “the best first 45 minutes I’ve seen all season”: he was not far wrong, because when City are performing like this you see how Pep Guardiola might revive his embattled champions.

NASCAR star Kyle Larson is on a tear in 2025. Can he keep it going with a Daytona 500 win?

The winning for the Larson family hasn't slowed down at the start of 2025 as former NASCAR champion Kyle Larson watched his son, Owen, lead his team to victory in the Daytona 500's annual prerace fishing tournament. The 10-year-old pulled a 4.58-pound fish from Lake Lloyd located inside Daytona International Speedway to put the Larson team on top. Larson will try to snap a 0-for-11 skid in "The Great American Race” on Sunday, and The Associated Press will be embedded with his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team.

Championship roundup: Hannibal Mejbri reports Osmajic incident at Preston

  • Burnley’s Deepdale draw makes it 11 clean sheets in a row
  • Pompey strike twice in second half to win 2-0 at Oxford

Scott Parker was left frustrated that Marcus Edwards did not get a late penalty in Burnley’s 0-0 draw with Preston in the Championship. Controversy struck in the 90th minute when the on-loan Sporting star went down under a sliding challenge from Lewis Gibson but referee Anthony Kitchen waved away the spot-kick appeals.

For the visitors it was an 11th clean sheet in a row in the Championship but a frustrated Parker said: “It’s a penalty for me and I don’t think I’m being biased in my understanding of it. Marcus Edwards has touched the ball first and then he’s touched it on to the player who’s slid on the ground on to that player. The referee said to me that the defender got the ball. He didn’t get the ball. If the defender’s running with the ball and I want to tackle him, I have to get contact with the ball first.”
