Declan Rice scores as Arsenal hit back to beat Manchester United
LONDON: Declan Rice scored his first goal for Arsenal and Gabriel Jesus added the icing on the cake as Arsenal roared back from a goal down to beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Emirates on Sunday. Marcus Rashford gave the visitors the lead against the run of play in the first half but Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard equalized seconds later. The Gunners had a penalty award overturned following a VAR check and United were denied what could have been a late winner when substitute Alejandro Garnacho was ruled offside. The home side kept up the pressure in eight minutes of added time and were rewarded when Rice controlled a corner and shot past Andre Onana with the help of a deflection off Jonny Evans. There was still time for another goal as substitute Jesus burst forward, teasing Onana before putting the ball in the net. The result leaves Arsenal fifth in the table after their third win in four games, two points behind leaders Manchester City, while United are 11th in the table. Earlier, Arsenal shot out of the blocks, pinning United back in the warm September sunshine. The home side should have taken the lead in the 13th minute but new signing Kai Havertz miskicked horrendously from inside the area with the goal at his mercy. Arsenal continued to dominate, pressing high and forcing United into awkward situations at the back. The game exploded into life shortly before the half-hour mark when United took the lead against the run of play after a speedy counter-attack. Christian Eriksen picked up a loose ball in midfield and burst forward, producing a perfectly weighted pass for Rashford, running down the left-hand channel. The England forward, largely anonymous in the early stages, cut inside and past two defenders before

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Live Updates, Asia Cup 2023: Bangladesh Win Toss, Opt To Bat Against Afghanistan
Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, Asia Cup 2023 Live Updates:Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bat against Afghanistan in their must-win Group B Asia Cup 2023 match on Sunday at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. It was a below-par batting performance that let Bangladesh down in their tournament opener against Sri Lanka in Pallekele as they could only manage 164 after opting to bat. Barring Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was the lone warrior with a 122-ball 89, no other Bangladesh batter could come up with substantial runs and support him.
