LONDON (AP) — Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson scored as Chelsea beat last-placed Sheffield United 2-0 to snap their two-game skid in the English Premier League on Saturday.Chelsea has struggled again this season despite expensive signings, but manager Mauricio Pochettino called for patience, which was tested in a sluggish first half at Stamford Bridge.Palmer opened the scoring from close range in the 54th minute after Raheem Sterling made a quick burst and sent a low cross in front of goal.Seven minutes later, Jackson doubled the lead with an easy tap in at the far post. Sterling was involved again. He tried to poke the ball past goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and it fell to Palmer, who passed it under a leaping Foderingham to Jackson by the goal-line.Pochettino kept midfielder Enzo Fernandez out of the starting lineup, but the Argentina international came on as a substitute in the 69th.Chelsea’s second win in the last six league games bumped it up two spots to 10th.Christopher Nk...Nico Williams leads Bilbao to win over Atletico in La Liga.

PARIS (AP) — Notre Dame Cathedral got its rooster back Saturday, in a pivotal moment for the Paris landmark’s restoration. The installation by a crane of a new golden rooster, reimagined as a dramatic phoenix with licking, flamed feathers, goes beyond being just a weathervane atop the cathedral spire. It symbolizes resilience amid destruction after the devastating April 2019 fire — as restoration officials also revealed an anti-fire misting system is being kitted out under the cathedral’s roof.Chief architect Philippe Villeneuve, who designed this new rooster, stated that the original rooster’s survival signified a ray of light in the catastrophe. “That there was hope, that not everything was lost. The beauty of the (old) battered rooster… expressed the cry of the cathedral suffering in flames,” Villeneuve said. He described the new work of art, approximately half a meter long and gleaming in the December sun behind Notre Dame Cathedral, as his “phoenix.”Villeneuve elabo...Luton captain Tom Lockyer collapses during Premier League match.

BERLIN (AP) — Excelling in the Champions League, disappointing in the Bundesliga.Borussia Dortmund suffered another domestic setback when it was held at Augsburg to 1-1 on Saturday just days after topping a Champions League group with Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle.When asked how the team cannot maintain its good Champions League form in the Bundesliga, Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck answered, “I don’t know.”Ermedin Demirović held off Schlotterbeck’s challenge — arguably with a shove — to fire Augsburg into a 23rd-minute lead.Donyell Malen played a one-two with Niclas Füllkrug to equalize in the 35th.Augsburg missed three good chances early in the second half before Dortmund coach Edin Terzić sent on Gio Reyna for Marco Reus in the 58th, then the 19-year-old Samuel Bamba for his Bundesliga debut in the 71st, but Dortmund was unable to grab a winner.It’s Dortmund’s third straight Bundesliga game without a win, and its fifth across all competitions including a...2 pedestrians seriously injured in crash
