The France international headed home a rebound from close range in the second half after Carlos Tevez had nodded Leonardo Bonucci’s flick onto the bar, with replays suggesting that the Argentine striker was in an offside position. Juventus dominated the hosts in a drab first half, with Claudio Marchisio coming closest on the stroke of half-time with a low drive. And in the second half, they turned their possession into a decisive goal, thanks to Pogba’s intervention....

After a draw and a defeat in their last two matches, it should not take much to motivate the five-time defending champions for a return to winning ways at the Juventus Stadium. Those two results aside, Allegri remained optimistic of a successful season while calling on his charges to right the wrongs of the last week and to turn on the style in front of their home supporters. “The goal aside, which came from an excellent piece of play from Alex Sandro, we were poor on Sunday....

Juve fell to a humbling 4-1 defeat against Zinedine Zidane’s side in Cardiff last May and are preparing to do battle for the first time since then in this term’s quarter-finals. Allegri was frustrated with his team’s lack of concentration in that game, but believes the experience has made them a better side. Speaking at his pre-match news conference, he said: “Of course, we have watched the final again several times, and I would say that the team, especially in Europe but also in Serie A, has improved a lot, especially in managing the difficult moments during the match....

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top stories involving Juventus from 7 December 2020. Juventus target Eduardo Camavinga likely to go to the Premier League French teenager Eduardo Camavinga had become a subject of interest to several European giants and at 18-years-old, he is one of the most sought after youngsters in world football.

Former Juve stalwart Tacchinardi played alongside current Madrid boss Zindedine Zidane in the 1998 Champions League final, which the LaLiga giants won 1-0 courtesy of Predrag Mijatovic’s goal. Tacchinardi spent 13 years at the Turin club in total, and he believes that Juve have the quality in the likes of ex-Madrid man Higuain and veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to claim their first Champions League title since 1996. “I’m betting on Higuain,” he told Spanish publication AS....

The vacant WBC super-flyweight title is also on the line. Arizona’s Desert Diamond Arena plays host to the fight. “Estrada and Chocolatito will go down as one of the great rivalries in the sport, and on December 3, one of these two modern greats will edge ahead of the other, and that promises to make this the most thrilling of the three clashes – it’s an early Christmas present for fight fans that you do not want to miss,” Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn stated....

Winger Mohamed Salah scored twice, securing victory with a last-gasp penalty to put Egypt four points clear with one match left in their African group E qualifying campaign.

The legal filing showed Kushner and his brother, Joshua, each held 50% interest in JK2, and Westminster is the successor of JK2. Administrative Law Judge Emily Daneker found that the company also violated consumer protection laws by unjustly collecting debts and charging tenants with improper fees. “Kushner respects the thoughtful depth of the Judge’s decision, which vindicates Westminster with respect to many of the Attorney General’s overreaching allegations,” the Kushner Company’s general counsel, Christopher W....

The surprise Labor Day order issued by Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon appeases Trump’s attorneys, who initially made the request due to “presumptively privileged” documents that perhaps involve presidential communication with advisers. The decision not only allows an independent expert to review some 13,000 records but also halts the ongoing criminal investigation by the Department of Justice. Attorney and former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said Monday that “any of my first year law students would have written a better opinion....

“He just snapped,” Packers safety Micah Hyde told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on Thursday. MORE: League’s top 10 receivers The Packers had managed to hold Jones in check in that 2014 game as they jumped out to a 31-7 halftime lead — before Atlanta was forced into a pass-heavy offense. Jones went off, catching touchdowns of 79 and 22 yards. The Packers barely held off the rally for a 43-37 victory at Lambeau Field....

The Falcons wide receiver told reporters Tuesday: “I don’t need preseason to get ready.” The holdout isn’t new for Jones — he didn’t play in any preseason games last year and appeared in just one the previous season. Jones’ decision doesn’t seem to be indicative of his commitment to the team because preseason games hold no clout over a team’s standing in the regular season, and many starters either sit out or play limited snaps to avoid injury before the regular season....

How To Play Wordle Wordle is a strategy game of guessing five-letter words. It was originally created a little more than a year ago by an indie developer, then it was purchased by the New York Times in February.

They are, Stewart and Wood, icons of the day: middle-aged rock stars with the hair of men half their age, playing songs for a public that, like Stewart’s young bride, model Rachel Hunter, was barely born when the songs first came out. And they are enormously, enormously successful, selling these old songs to audiences young and old. “Unplugged…and Seated,” the Stewart recording from the program, has for the last month been the second best-selling album in the country....

While it’s still unclear who Wise will be playing in Jurassic World: Dominion, her teaming up with Pratt’s character in what appears to be an intense action sequence will likely mean she plays a pivotal role in the film. In fact, fans may see her cross paths with many of the characters from the original Jurassic Park film like Sam Neill’s Dr. Alan Grant, Laura Dern’s Ellie Sattler, and Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm....

The only way Jacksonville can feel truly comfortable about its first-round draft pick (aka the “future of the franchise”); the only way a young offense can gel and find some sort of comfort; the only way to prepare Blake Bortles for the future is to play the kid. Now. IYER: Weighing pros and cons of starting Blake Bortles The Jaguars have said since drafting the quarterback that they don’t want to throw him in the huddle before he’s ready....

Arbery, an unarmed 25-year-old black man, was shot and killed on February 23 while out for a jog in Brunswick, Georgia. Two white men, Gregory McMichael and Travis McMichael, have been arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault of Arbery after a video of the shooting went viral last week. Both men initially told law enforcement they attacked Arbery because he looked like someone involved in burglaries said to have been reported nearby, according to a police report obtained by the New York Times....

Over the years, Thomas has brushed off questions about the central contradiction of his life: how can a man who has benefited so greatly from racial preferences oppose them so staunchly for others? Thomas doesn’t address the question directly in his new autobiography, “My Grandfather’s Son.” But he does, perhaps unwittingly, answer it. In chapter after chapter, a recurring theme seems to be that it’s only affirmative action if you go looking for a job, not if it comes looking for you....
