RIYADH: Jeeno Thitikul delivered a commanding performance to claim victory at the PIF Saudi Ladies International on Saturday, securing her 17th professional title with a final-round 69 to finish at 16-under par.
MANCHESTER: Omar Marmoush scored his first Manchester City goals with a first-half hat-trick to beat Newcastle 4-0 and fire Pep Guardiola’s men back into the Premier League’s top four on Saturday. The Egyptian was in scintillating form as City recovered from their late Champions League collapse to lose to Real Madrid 3-2 at home in midweek. The English champions have a mountain to climb when they visit Madrid on Wednesday if they are to reach the last 16 of Europe’s elite competition for the 12th consecutive season. But Marmoush’s explosion gives some cause for optimism as Newcastle were blown away inside the opening 33 minutes.
PAMPLONA, Spain: La Liga leaders Real Madrid dropped two points in a 1-1 draw at Osasuna on Saturday in which Jude Bellingham was sent off. The Spanish champions took the lead through Kylian Mbappe before the referee expelled England international Bellingham for dissent toward the end of the first half. Ante Budimir levelled for hosts Osasuna from the penalty spot after 58 minutes as Carlo Ancelotti’s side endured a third consecutive league match without victory. Atletico Madrid, second and two points behind the leaders, host Celta Vigo later Saturday, while third-place Barcelona welcome Rayo Vallecano on Monday. Ancelotti said Bellingham should not have been dismissed and had just been expressing his frustration rather than directly insulting the referee. “I think with Bellingham’s red card (the referee) didn’t understand the English well... I don’t think it’s something offensive,” Ancelotti told reporters. “I think the red card came out because the referee was nervous...
JEDDAH: Spanish football league La Liga on Saturday launched an Arabic account on TikTok in a bid to connect with millions of football fans in the Arab world. It is part of the league’s efforts to reach and engage with its followers in the Middle East and North Africa region, a media statement said. “We are thrilled to launch the Arabic TikTok account, as it represents the culmination of all the efforts La Liga has made in the MENA region over the past years,” said Maite Ventura, managing director for MENA. “We believe that Arab fans deserve high-quality digital content that meets their expectations.
MILAN:Jannik Sinner’s long doping saga came to an end on Saturday after he agreed to a three-month ban from tennis, the world number admitting “partial responsibility” for team mistakes which led to him twice testing positive for traces of clostebol in March last year. The February 9 to May 4 suspension means Sinner will be free to play in the French Open, the second Grand Slam of the season, which begins on May 25 at Roland Garros. In a statement, Sinner said that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted that he “had no intent and did not derive any competitive advantage from the two positive tests” of the banned substance. Australian Open champion Sinner has always said that clostebol entered his system when his physiotherapist used a spray containing it to treat a cut before providing a massage and sports therapy. “This case had been hanging over me now for nearly a year and the process still had a long time to run with a decision maybe only at the end of the year,” Sinner said. “I have always accepted that I am responsible for my team and realize WADA’s strict rules are an important protection for the sport I love.
JEDDAH: Ahead of the first Jeddah E-Prix, the FIA, Formula E management and participating teams and partners took part in several events at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit to educate and inspire 120 young local girls.
ADELAIDE: Mexican pair Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz joined Sam Horsfield in a three-way share of the lead at LIV Golf’s Adelaide stop on Saturday, with major champion Jon Rahm lurking four shots off the pace. Ancer nailed six birdies to a bogey in a five-under-par 67 in front of bumper crowds at a blustery Grange Golf Club, while his compatriot mixed five birdies and a bogey in his 68. British overnight leader Horsfield birdied the last to card a 69 and ensure he stayed in the hunt heading into the final day, with all three nine-under after 36 holes. “I just tried to stay patient and hit as many greens as possible. I knew the putter was feeling good,” said Ancer, who is gunning for a second LIV title after winning in Hong Kong last year. “I have a lot of confidence when the greens are rolling nice and firm and fast, so I just try to put the ball in play and don’t get in too much trouble because you can make a lot of bogeys out here, especially with this wind.” Ortiz, who is also looking for a second tour win after victory at Tucson in 2023, said the conditions were tough. “I thought it was tricky.
