Vinicius strikes twice as Real Madrid edge Atletico 3-2 in pulsating derby

Vinicius strikes twice as Real Madrid edge Atletico 3-2 in pulsating derby

Published by Sam Flores

MADRID, March 22 : Vinicius Jr scored twice as Real Madrid fought back to beat visitors Atletico Madrid 3-2 in a breathless Spanish capital derby on Sunday, keeping Alvaro Arbeloa’s side within four points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona. Billed as a relatively low-key Madrid derby, with Atletico sitting a distant fourth in the table, the match instead delivered a five-goal spectacle between the rivals. It had everything — stunning goals from both sides and a straight red card to Real captain Federico Valverde that reduced the hosts to 10 men in the dying minutes. Atletico’s Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, finishing a slick counter-attack involving Matteo Ruggeri and a delightful backheel from Giuliano Simeone. Vinicius equalised from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute after David Hancko clumsily tripped Brahim Diaz, and Valverde capitalised on a Jose Maria Gimenez error three minutes later to make it 2-1 to Real. Nahuel Molina silenced Real’s Bernabeu stadium with a thunderous 30-metre strike in the 66th minute, but Vinicius restored Real’s lead with a …

Tottenham route to Champions League final: Spurs could be handed north London derby showdown

Tottenham route to Champions League final: Spurs could be handed north London derby showdown

Published by Sam Flores

Spurs qualified automatically for the knockout stage by finishing fourth in the league phase behind only Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool after picking up 17 points from their eight matches. Last season’s Europa League winners will be eyeing a unique feat of winning back-to-back European titles in campaign where they are battling relegation in the Premier League. Atleti, who have faced English opposition already this season, overcame Club Brugge 7-4 on aggregate in the knockout phase and can afford to put all their eggs into the Champions League basket with success in LaLiga unlikely. Victory in the quarter-final would almost certainly earn Tottenham an intriguing semi-final tie. Bodo/Glimt, Sporting CP, Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal are the four potential opponents, as the Gunners face Leverkusen and the two less fancied sides go head-to-head in the last-16. There is the possibility therefore of a north London derby headlining a Champions League semi-final for the very first time and Spurs would be desperate for revenge after losing both games 4-1 this season. If Tottenham were to reach their …

Derby driver jailed after gambling causes devastating A50 crash

Published by skeptic

Content warning: This article contains distressing details and footage. A Derby man who spent much of a motorway journey gambling on his phone has been jailed after causing a crash on the A50 and leaving a young family with life-changing injuries. Jack Bentley, 30, was travelling from Blackpool back to Derby on the evening of April 6, 2025, when he became distracted by online betting sites on his mobile. Around 6.45pm local time, as vehicles slowed and queued ahead of him, Bentley failed to react. His Ford Focus careered into the back of a stationary Nissan X-Trail. The impact was so severe that the Nissan was shunted forward into the vehicle in front. Inside the car was a pregnant woman and her family. She suffered a fractured pelvis and was taken straight to hospital. Doctors carried out an emergency caesarean section after her baby went into distress, and the child was born prematurely. The newborn then spent weeks in intensive care suffering with collapsed lungs. Two children who were also in the Nissan were hurt …

Chelsea and West Ham fined heavily for mass brawl at end of London derby

Published by Sam Flores

Feb 25 : Chelsea and West Ham United have been fined 325,000 pounds ($439,140) and 300,000 pounds respectively for the mass confrontation at the end of their Premier League game last month, the Football Association said on Wednesday. Chelsea battled from two goals down to beat West Ham 3-2 in the London derby on January 31 but nearly 20 players were involved in a melee at the end of the game. West Ham winger Adama Traore threw Marc Cucurella to the ground before he clashed with Joao Pedro as other players arrived to break up the fight. West Ham’s Jean-Clair Todibo received a straight red card after a VAR review for clutching Pedro’s throat. “It was alleged that Chelsea FC failed to ensure its players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 95th minute,” the FA said in a statement. “It was also alleged that West Ham United FC failed to ensure its players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way at this time.” The FA said both clubs …

Butcher who cut her girlfriend in half and buried her in their Derby garden jailed for life | UK News

A butcher who murdered her girlfriend, cut her in half and buried her body under concrete in their garden has been jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years. Anna Podedworna, from Poland, killed Izabela Zablocka with a horse figurine before wrapping her remains in bin bags in a “filthy, makeshift grave” in Normanton, Derby. Ms Zablocka, 30, was reported missing after losing contact with family in 2010, Derby Crown Court heard. Podedworna denied knowing where she was. But prosecutors said she finally “cracked” last year and emailed police when a Polish journalist flew to the UK to interview her. Image: Podedworna claimed she acted in self defence. Pic: Derbyshire Police /PA The mother-of-one’s remains were found in June, under concrete in the garden of the house the couple had shared after moving from Poland together. Jurors were told “considerable force” would have been needed to cut Ms Zablocka’s body in half and that electrical tape had been used to bind her legs together “like a chicken”. At the time, Podedworna worked as a …

Derby can make a huge leap into the Championship play-off places – for a few hours at least – with a victory over struggling West Brom at Pride Park tonight. The Rams have won three of their last four and, as any devoted fan of a Championship team could tell you, that sort of form can go a long way in the middle of the pack. John Eustace’s side currently occupy 10th place, two point short of Preston in sixth. However, defeat would expose them to a significant drop with Leicester just three points behind in 14th place. West Brom suffered a torrid 5-0 thrashing on home soil during their midweek fixture against Norwich, who are also in the relegation picture. The Baggies’ new boss Eric Ramsey is under enormous pressure to turn the ship but faces an uphill struggle with his team in freefall.

Published by Daniella Wilson

Sunday’s FA Cup schedule kicks off at Pride Park, where Derby County and Leeds United renew their rivalry in the lunchtime kick-off. The dislike between the pair began in the 1960s, while Brian Clough and Don Revie were in the dugouts, but fresh fuel was added to the fire in 2019 due to the Spygate saga and the Rams’ victory in the Championship play-off semi-finals. Indeed, Leeds can expect a frosty reception at Pride Park this weekend but will arrive in the East Midlands full of confidence despite seeing their seven-game unbeaten streak end in dramatic fashion in midweek. The Whites have moved eight points clear of the Premier League relegation zone and may well be eyeing an FA Cup run, which will leave Daniel Farke facing some interesting selection dilemmas. Derby have won just one of their last five but remain in the play-off mix in the Championship and will feel all the pressure is on the visitors on Sunday.

The downsides? Shell cordovan is a beast to break in, not to mention prohibitively expensive. But I’ve had my pair for almost a decade without a need for repairs, so I don’t expect to need another replacement until I’m about ready to retire. More Black Derbies We Love Prada Brushed Leather Lace-Up Shoes Prada’s derby has been the exact same shape for years, simply because they got it exactly right the first time. (It’s also been on multiple GQ editor’s wishlists for years.) Our Legacy Uniform Parade Our Legacy’s house derby takes its inspiration from the shape of the Alden’s above, but amps up the punk quotient.
