Sokratis received two yellow cards in the space of seven first-half minutes as Arsenal crashed to a 3-1 loss at Rennes in the opening leg of their last-16 clash. The Greek defender’s dismissal came after Lucas Torreira’s red card against Tottenham in last week’s Premier League’s north London derby, while Alexandre Lacazette was given his marching orders in the Europa League defeat to BATE on February 14. Asked if Arsenal have a problem with discipline, head coach Emery told reporters post-match: “No....

Emery – a three-time winner of the competition with Sevilla – will take his side to the Azerbaijani capital in a bid to lift the trophy once more and ensure Arsenal earn qualification to next season’s Champions League. Speaking after Sunday’s 3-1 win at Burnley to conclude the Premier League campaign, Emery suggested it was far from ideal to be playing the final almost 3,000 miles away from the homes of the two clubs involved....

Ozil was singled out by critics after champions Germany made a sensational group-stage exit from the World Cup in Russia. After Germany finished bottom of the group following their loss to South Korea, team manager Oliver Bierhoff suggested Ozil’s selection for the World Cup may have been a mistake. But with club commitments and the Premier League looming, new Arsenal boss Emery – who replaced Arsene Wenger – is ready to help Ozil recapture his best form....

Emery replaces Arsene Wenger, whose near 22-year stay at the club ended with a second successive finish outside the Premier League’s top four. The former Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla coach beat out competition from seven other shortlisted candidates to earn the chance to take over from the departed Frenchman. And Gazidis feels the depth of knowledge displayed by Emery during the interview process means the Spaniard earned the right to lead the Gunners....

The Gunners moved into third in the Premier League table, two points above Tottenham, after a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Emirates Stadium on Monday. It was their 10th home win in a row in the league, a run that has included victories over closest rivals Manchester United, Spurs and Chelsea, and puts them in a strong position to seal a top-four spot. Emery insists it will still be tough to seal a return to Europe’s elite club competition, but he is more concerned about establishing a positive rapport with the Emirates crowd than focusing on their league position....

After seeing the red numbers on the dashboard, she hilariously panicked and tried to cope with the loss. When she found out that her investment had dropped by $40,000, she said: Emiru gets stunned after checking her stock investment Emiru had just started her daily livestream and was about half an hour into the stream.

The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning in the North and East Bay hills of Northern California, due to high temperatures and windy conditions, which are the prime conditions for fires to begin. PG&E has announced a plan to preemptively turn off power in high-risk fire areas beginning as early as Monday evening. The power shutoff is estimated to affect 124,000 customers across nine counties, including medical baseline customers, and could last for several days....

Many of the games EA spoke about at E3 2015 could be played as soon as the company’s press conference ended, with the new Need for Speed, FIFA 16 and even Star Wars Battlefront all being available on the conference floor. At E3 2016, this is set to change as EA is now scrapping its traditional booth for something a bit more fan-focused. EA is calling its new initiative EA Play, and it will kick off with live events in Los Angeles and London the week of E3 2016 (LA is June 12-14, the London event is one day only on June 12)....

Eleider Alvarez had spent years chasing the top light heavyweights in the world but was unable to land the fight he desired. He finally got his opportunity against a former top-five pound-for-pound fighter, Sergey Kovalev, and made the most of it with a stunning seventh-round knockout to claim the WBO and IBA light heavyweight titles in the main event Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, N....

Earlier this month, the former NFL quarterback took on the persona of Powers to try out for the Penn State football team. The video, shown below, has nearly three million views on YouTube. One of the ideas for Manning’s persona is a show similar to that of the hit program ‘Ted Lasso’ on Apple TV. Actor Jason Sudeikis plays Lasso, an American football coach hired to coach an English soccer club, AFC Richmond....

Ranked the No. 2 prospect in the 2020 class by 247 Sports, Cunningham led USA Basketball to a 93-79 victory over Mali in the U19 gold medal game, restoring the Americans to the position atop the podium after they fell short of reaching the championship game two years ago because of Canada and superstar R.J. Barrett. Kansas State coach Bruce Weber, assisted by Levelle Moton of N.C. Central and Mike Hopkins of Washington, led the United States to its seventh victory all-time in this event and its fourth in the past 10 years....

One of the bigger questions in that debate is whether or not the MCU will attempt to introduce the existing X-Men characters from Fox’s continuity or if they will simply reintroduce the mutants in order to get a fresh start. While fans waited for more information, the debate was unexpectedly kickstarted yet again by one particular WandaVision character.

Jon Ralston, editor of The Nevada Independent, posted a photo of the advertisement in the Thursday edition of the Adelson-owned Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Here’s how much Sheldon Adelson pays under Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax in the first year: $2,300,000,000,” the ad reads, noting that this would be less than 6 percent of the casino mogul’s fortune. “I think that’s called chutzpah,” Ralston quipped in his tweet sharing the ad....

Warren, the candidate who has made the greatest gains in recent polls, moved $10.4 million in unused funds from her 2018 Senate race to her presidential bid. That money included donations from wealthy donors to boost her 2020 run early on, The New York Times reported on Monday. Though there is no way to distinguish what amount of the transferred amount was from sizable donations, but just five other candidates had raised more than $10....

Warren’s comprehensive and detailed economic platform includes plans to raise taxes on the wealthiest households, break up the banks, tighten Wall Street regulation, and increase federal spending by trillions on health care, higher education, and clean energy, among other areas. But critics of the Massachusetts senator, who is a former Harvard law professor specializing in bankruptcy, argue that her proposals would harm the American economy by curbing investment, send the markets tumbling, and even bring about a recession....

The Massachusetts senator came under attack from the other 2020 aspirants on a crowded stage after reports showed her rising to the top of several primary polls since the last primary debate in September. Morning Consult found that support for Warren among Democratic voters remained unchanged after Tuesday’s debate. Although former Vice President Joe Biden, who used to be the lodestone for marginal candidates’ potshots, still remained atop the roster at 31 percent....

The billionaire behind rocket company SpaceX and electric car giant Tesla has fueled headlines in recent weeks following some well-publicized tweets about cryptocurrency, specifically bitcoin and dogecoin—and many assumed there was a link. Wild theories, some tongue-in cheek, suggested there was a deeper meaning in Musk’s post, some ignoring its well-documented ties to literature. One Twitter user claimed on Tuesday: “Elon wrote Excession on his page today as the price of coins dropped to bring them back up....

In the second day of testimony, Musk went up against the plaintiff’s attorney, Randall Baron, who gave Musk the third degree regarding his role in facilitating the SolarCity agreement. “Your questions,” the billionaire CEO complained from the witness stand, “are so deceptive.” Baron and Musk also butted heads over the meaning of the word cabal, which Baron used to describe the Tesla team that provided daily updates in July 2016 about the SolarCity deal....

“If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” the billionaire posted to Twitter on Sunday. He later said in a reply that the proof “must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.” This tweet comes in response to U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director David Beasley stating to CNN that billionaires such as Musk could donate “$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don’t reach them....
