Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the Bundesliga’s leading marksman in his last full season in German soccer — with 31 goals for Borussia Dortmund in the 2016-17 campaign — and he is proving just as prolific in England after reaching 14 this season by scoring Arsenal’s fourth in a 4-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday. The Gabon striker moved to Arsenal in January last year as Arsene Wenger’s final signing and has been an unqualified success with 23 league goals in barely 11 months....

12. UCLA at Arizona, Nov. 9 The play: Clinging to a 24-19 lead, UCLA had third-and-2 from its 34. Dual-threat QB Brett Hundley handed to Myles Jack — a freshman linebacker who Jim Mora was integrating into the offense. Jack, who already had gained 54 yards on five carries, got the first down and shook off a couple tacklers down the sideline for a 66-yard score. The linebacker finished with 120 yards on six carries and added eight tackles, a fumble recovery and two pass breakups....

The investigation didn’t uncover any evidence of a “stolen” election, further backing President Joe Biden’s victory by roughly 21,000 votes over former President Donald Trump, the AP reported. The audit also reviewed dozens of voting machines and determined that they functioned properly, though some conservatives have urged that all voting machines be examined. Republican state Senator Robert Cowles, a co-chair for the Legislature’s Audit Committee that conducted the review, affirmed in a tweet that the election hadn’t been compromised by fraud....

Lightning was introduced by Apple in September 2012 with the iPhone 5, fifth-generation iPod touch and seventh-generation iPod nano. A month later the technology was added to the fourth-generation iPad and original iPad mini. Older iOS devices use the 30-pin dock, but if you have any of these or later iOS devices then the Aukey 3600mAh External Battery Charger is well worth a look. Particularly the iPhone. Aukey doesn’t state its battery’s efficiency, but with most offering around 70 percent (some is lost through heat generated and voltage conversion), you can expect around 2500mAh....

The Rockets’ offense centers around perennial MVP contender James Harden, but Rivers said his dominance of the ball was difficult at times. “You have guys like Chris Paul and Eric Gordon, and you have other guys waiting, trying to help even more, but our system is designed around it,” Rivers said on ESPN’s First Take Friday. “It was a circle of everybody trying to figure out how do we change this, who do we talk to?...

He was immediately taken to the locker room, likely to get checked for a concussion. He stayed out for the remainder of the second period but emerged with the team to start the third. If last year’s playoffs were any indication, this could very well mean a suspension for Dillon as the contact to the head was seemingly avoidable. Toronto coach Mike Babcock would not give a comment on whether the hit deserved any punishment after the game....

Moreover, most of the innovations of modern-day cricket trace their origins to Australia. Australia is the country where cricket was first played with colored clothing, white ball and black sightscreens. Australia also hosted the first ever day-night one-day match. Australia has also given birth to some wonderful limited over cricketers. Here is a look at Australia’s greatest ever one-day XI: #1 Mark Waugh Junior, as Mark Waugh was fondly known among his teammates, was one of the most elegant batsmen of all time....

Australia’s Scott Hend attempts to live up to his star billing when he tees off at the inaugural Volvik Hildesheim Open J Golf Series in Jecheon, South Korea, on Thursdayg “It was a bit of a shock when I walked in this morning and saw my face on the posters and publicity boards.” said Hend on Wednesday. “It’s nice but you know what, you still have to do what you have to do and perform well....

Many of their key players were expected to do better, but looked flat and out of form through the 5-match series. Heading into the ODI series against Australia, there will be some new faces added to their squad and with that the tourists will look at winning some games in a tour where they are yet to taste success. Australia, on the other hand, are riding high on a convincing performance against England to regain the Ashes....

The question on everyone’s mind is: Has Rahul done enough to hold on to his position in the second innings? The answer is a guarded ‘yes’, and certainly not an emphatic one. The manner of his dismissal was especially disappointing. He got out to an expansive drive on the up to a ball he could have easily left out. He had just lost his opening partner and needed to rebuild Indian innings in the company of Pujara....

The Background After opting to bat first on winning the toss, Virat Kohli’s men amassed 443-7 in the first innings with Cheteshwar Pujara being the top-scorer for the visitors (106 off 319 balls). Meanwhile, Tim Paine started off the ‘friendly’ banter with Rohit Sharma on day two of the Boxing Day Test during India’s first innings. Thanks to the stump-mic, Paine was heard chirping to Aaron Finch, “It’s been a toss up for me between Royals and Indians, and if Rohit hits a six here, I am changing to Mumbai”....

The Indo-Australian rivalry has witnessed many centuries from Indian batsmen, and almost all of the century-makers have been all-time greats. With the touring Indian side being considered the favorites to lift the Border-Gavaskar trophy, it’s time to shed some light on the Indian batsmen with the highest centuries against Australia. #5 Murali Vijay - 4 centuries Murali Vijay enjoys a terrific record against the Aussies in the red-ball arena. The 34-year-old has slammed four hundreds and six fifties in 13 Tests, and has managed to aggregate a tally of 1,275 runs....

Although the FDA recently revised its eligibility requirements to allow gay and bisexual men to donate blood providing they haven’t had sex in three months, the letter says the revision “does not go far enough” to help increase the nation’s blood supply amidst a shortage caused by the coronavirus epidemic. “In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, blood drives and donations have dropped significantly,” the letter reads. “As of mid-March, over 4,000 blood drives have been canceled across the country due to coronavirus concerns and closures of schools and workplaces where these drives are usually held, resulting in over 100,000 fewer blood donations....

BVB 5/1 to fail to score v Stuttgart The Bundesliga club confirmed the news via their official Twitter account on Thursday following reports the striker would not be involved. “Aubameyang has been removed from the squad for tomorrow’s match for disciplinary reasons,” the club said, without offering any further clarification on the nature of his indiscretion. The 28-year-old has shouldered much of the blame for Dortmund’s slump in recent weeks, which has seen them win just one of their last seven games in all competitions....

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was named in a strong team and scored as speculation continues to intensify about his future, although Mario Gotze was not included in the squad as he continues to recover from a metabolic disorder. Bosz’s reign got off to a poor start when Essen took the lead in the third minute, Benjamin Baier cutting inside off the left wing and picking out Roman Burki’s bottom-left corner from 25 yards with a superb strike....

For the second time this week, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s timing was a little off. The Arsenal captain was back in the side against Olympiacos after being dropped against Tottenham for turning up late, but the Gabon international looked like he was still way off the pace. Aubameyang endured a miserable night in front of goal, missing several excellent chances to put the game to bed for his side and send it cruising into the Europa League quarterfinals....

The plot of the highly anticipated follow-up to HBO’s Hawaii-set hit, which is nominated for a whopping 20 Emmy Awards, is as mysterious as, well, the show itself. The only sanctioned-for-public-consumption details about the Mike White creation so far have been that the sophomore season will take place at the resort’s Italy outpost, that the show will debut in October, and that Season 1 actors Jennifer Coolidge and Jon Gries will be along for the ride....
