The Atletico fans also made monkey noises and gestures from the stands throughout the game. Some even resorted to shouting chants of "Vinicius, die", as per reports in the local media. Real Madrid went on to beat Atletico 2-1 in the derby to continue their perfect start to the season.

Earlier this week, Vinicius had released a strong statement condemning the racist abuse he has been subjected to throughout his football career. The Brazilian spoke up against racism after Pedro Bravo, the head of the Spanish Football Agents Association, said last week that Vinicius needs to stop "monkeying around" when celebrating goals.

Bravo's comments were deemed racist and he was slammed by many on social media. He later clarified his comments were not meant to be racist and were interpreted wrongly.

Australian pacer Pat Cummins has issued a warning to the Indian team ahead of the start of the upcoming three-match T20I series between the two sides. India will host Australia in the three-match rubber which can prove to be perfect preparation for both teams ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia next month.

Australia are missing a number of key players in the T20I series against India as star batter David Warner has been rested while the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc and Marcus Stoinis are out with injuries. However, Cummins has warned India no to take the Aussies lightly as they still have a strong team and will look to earn positive results.

Cummins also expressed confidence in his abilities and said he is in peak shape raring to go against the hosts. The right-arm pacer is making his comeback for Australia after two months as he last featured for the national side during their tour of Sri Lanka in July this year.

"Don’t take us lightly; we are here to win. We understand some of the players are missing, but no one can still afford us to take lightly,"&nbsp;Cummins said during a press conference ahead of the first T20I between India and Australia on Tuesday.

"I’m pretty keen to play quite a lot so that come the World Cup I feel like my game is in really good order," he added.

Australia will head into the World Cup next month as the defending champions and arguably one of the favourites to win the title at home. Aaron Finch will continue leading the team in the shortest format after he retired from ODIs recently.

The three-match series&nbsp;will be a good test for the Indian team as the hosts will look to bounce back after their disappointing campaign in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 where they failed to make it to the final after facing back-to-back defeats against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

However, India have performed exceedingly well under new captain Rohit Sharma in T20Is since the T20 World Cup last year, barring their recent blip at the Asia Cup. India are yet to lose a bilateral T20I series under Rohit and will be aiming to keep the record intact against the Aussies.

Monza took a surprising but deserved 1-0 home win over Juventus on Sunday, their first Serie A victory of the season, as the visitors struggled after being reduced to 10 men.

Juve key player Angel Di Maria's return from injury was cut short when he was sent off five minutes before the break after elbowing Armando Izzo in the chest.

"We need to do better, certainly. The red card affected the game; Angel was a bit harassed by Izzo, a player who is known for using these tactics, and he fell for it. I didn’t see the replay but was told it was the right decision to send him off," Juve's assistant manager Marco Landucci told DAZN.

Juventus had half-chances in the first half but were struggling to create momentum, while Monza were effective in breaking down the play in midfield.

Dusan Vlahovic had several attempts on goal but none of them were difficult for Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio to stop.

Newly-promoted Monza smelled blood in the second half and pressured the opposition defence to make mistakes, while Juve tried to look for counter-attacking chances.

Substitute Christian Gytkjaer became the hero when he slid in the winner from Patrick Ciurria's cross in the 74th minute.

Moise Kean came close to equalising for Juventus in the 81st minute when his header was on target, but Di Gregorio was alert and held it firmly in his grip.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri was not allowed on the bench for Juve's first Serie A loss of the season, after being sent off last Sunday in the 2-2 home draw against Salernitana for protesting about a disallowed VAR goal.

"Obviously, nobody is happy right now, but in order to emerge from this situation we can only work hard and do better," Landucci said.

"We started well and then stopped playing, so the only method is to work and everyone raises their game to work in the same direction."

Juve fielded a depleted team as Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cuadrado were suspended for the game, while Federico Chiesa, Kaio Jorge, Paul Pogba, Manuel Locatelli and Alex Sandro were all injured.

Monza next travel to Sampdoria on Oct. 2, after the international break, while Juventus host Bologna on the same day.

Juventus remain eighth in the standings but are now six points behind leaders Udinese after seven matches, while Monza moved up to 18th place with four points.

Tensions have been rising in UK's east Leciseter after the Asia Cup cricket matches between India and Pakistan. The area is home to a large diaspora community with origins in the two neighbouring South Asian countries, which are arch rivals in cricket.

The Leicestershire police arrested 15 people for causing 'disorder', following clashes between two groups and unplanned protests. The police said it was done to minimise harm and disturbance to the communities. All 15 people remain in police custody.&nbsp;

The protests broke out on Saturday night after rumours of an attack on a mosque surfaced on social media. But Leicestershire Police had rubbished the speculations stating, "We've seen reports on social media that a mosque is being attacked. Officers on the ground have confirmed this is not true. Please only share information on social media you know to be true."

Two people were arrested earlier, following the protests on Saturday night and Sunday morning. While one man was detained on the suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder, another was held for the possession of a bladed article. Another&nbsp;police operation was conducted to contain the serious disorder in the city leading to 15 arrests on Sunday.

Violence and protests first broke out following the Asia Cup 2022 clash between India and Pakistan in the UAE. The Hindu and Muslim communities in Leicester clashed post the game resulting in huge disorder. There is tension rising in the area ever since due to speculations on social media.

Videos have surfaced on social media showing a group of young men trying to vandalise a Hindu temple in the area. There were reports of numerous incidents of violence and damage across the city on Saturday and Sunday with the Leicestershire police deploying more officers to bring the situation under control.

While India got the better of Pakistan in the group-stage clash on August 28, Pakistan defeated their arch-rivals in the Super Four meeting between them the following week. Pakistan made it to the final of the tournament but ended up missing out on the trophy after losing against Sri Lanka.

Tension in UK's Leicester days after India-Pakistan Asia Cup clash, 15 arrested

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh celebrated the 15th anniversary of his six sixes against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup with his son Orion on Monday (September 19). Yuvraj had become the second batter after former South Africa batter Herschelle Gibbs to slam six sixes in an over in international cricket.

The former India all-rounder had launched a brutal onslaught against England pacer Stuart Broad in the T20 World Cup clash between the two sides at the Kingsmead in Durban. While he became the first Indian batter to smash six sixes of six consecutive deliveries in an international game, Yuvraj also smashed the fastest fifty in international cricket&nbsp;off just 12 balls.

It was on this day in 2007 that Yuvraj achieved the magnificent feat and he celebrated the 15th anniversary of his six sixes in the company of his son Orion on Monday.&nbsp;

"Couldn’t have found a better partner to watch this together with after 15 years," Yuvraj tweeted with a video of himself watching the highlights of his famous knock with his son.

Yuvraj came out to bat at number five in the game and was looking in terrific touch as he went after the England bowlers from the word go. The swashbuckling left-hander was involved in an on-field spat with Andrew Flintoff ahead of Broad's over and went on to vent out his frustration against the pacer by whacking him for six straight sixes.

He dispatched the first ball of the 19th over from Broad over the cow corner before sending the second one ver backward square leg for a maximum. There was no stopping Yuvraj as he smashed the next one over extra cover before punishing Broad again in the fourth over despite the pacer going round the wicket.

The swashbuckling left-hander was involved in an on-field spat with Andrew Flintoff ahead of Broad's over and went on to vent out his frustration against the pacer by whacking him for six straight sixes. He dispatched the first ball of the 19th over from Broad over the cow corner before sending the second one ver backward square leg for a maximum. There was no stopping Yuvraj as he smashed the next one over extra cover before punishing Broad again in the fourth over despite the pacer going round the wicket. #OnThisDay in 2007, Yuvraj Singh smashed 6 sixes in an over against Stuart Broad.#T20WorldCup2022 #T20WorldCup #INDvsAUS #INDvAUS#YuvrajSingh #Yuvipic.twitter.com/YP1va1u1vM — Cricket Videos(@Crickket__Video) September 19, 2022 × Also Read: People stay quiet thinking they cannot criticise India: Ex-Pakistan captain on BCCI's growing influence He became the second batter after Gibbs to smash six sixes in an over in international cricket and the fourth overall to achieve the feat.

Riding on Yuvraj's stunning half-century, India went on to post a huge total of 218 runs on the board and defeated England by 18 runs on their way to lifting their maiden T20 World Cup title in South Africa.

Mohammed Shami's T20I comeback will be delayed as the veteran pace bowler has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be out of the Australia series starting in Mohali from September 20.

Veteran pacer Umesh Yadav, who played the last of his seven T20Is in 2019 against Australia is back in the scheme of things, having recovered from a quadriceps injury.

"Yes, Shami has tested COVID-19 positive. But there is nothing to worry as the symptoms are mild. But he will have to remain in isolation and will be able to rejoin the squad once he tests negative. It is unfortunate but that is how life is," a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

Asked how long he thinks Shami will take to recover, the source seemed hopeful that he would be fit for the next series against Australia.

"We are expecting Shami to be fit for the next series against South Africa. There is 10 days before that series starts. So we are more than hopeful you can say," he said.

Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League with a dominant 3-0 win at Brentford, while Everton beat West Ham 1-0 to get their first victory of the season on Sunday.

Injuries to captain Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko had stretched Arsenal's squad to the extent that 15-year-old Ethan Nwaneri came off the bench late to become the youngest player in Premier League history.

However, the Gunners showed no sign of weakness at a ground where they were beaten 2-0 last season to move back one point above Manchester City and Tottenham at the top of the table.

William Saliba and Gabriel Jesus headed in before half-time and Fabio Vieira marked his first Premier League start with a stunning strike after the break. Brentford boss Thomas Frank said he believes Arsenal will be title contenders and they played like it to blow away the Bees in the first 45 minutes.

"We have a different mentality this season," said Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka. "We are training like we play and have class with the players that can make a difference."

The match had been moved forward two hours to help ease police pressures around Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and Britain's longest-serving monarch was remembered in a minute's silence before kick-off.

Once the action did get underway, it was one way traffic as Arsenal bounced back in style from their sole defeat of the season away to Manchester United two weeks ago. 
It took just 17 minutes for Mikel Arteta's men to make the breakthrough when Saliba flicked Bukayo Saka's corner in off the far post.

Jesus also used his head to score his fourth goal in seven Premier League games since joining from Manchester City as he powered home an enticing delivery from Xhaka.

The absence of Odegaard also made room for Vieira and the Portuguese midfielder made his mark with a sumptuous strike from outside the box to kill off any doubt over the outcome four minutes into the second half.

An easy day for Arsenal was rounded off a minute from time when Arteta was able to hand Nwaneri his debut as just 15 years and 181 days, breaking Harvey Elliott's record as the youngest player in Premier League history when he appeared for Fulham as a 16-year-old.

"It was a pure gut feeling," said Arteta on handing Nwaneri a debut.

"Yesterday he had to come because we have injuries, especially the injury of Martin and then I had that feeling from yesterday that if the opportunity could come that I was going to do it."

At the other end of the table, West Ham will spend the upcoming international break in the bottom three after Neal Maupay's first Everton goal gave the Toffees a much-needed win. Frank Lampard's men are now unbeaten in five league games but had just four points on the board before kick-off from four consecutive draws.

An injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin forced Everton to seek more firepower in the final weeks of the transfer window and Maupay delivered on just his second appearance since a move from Brighton. The Frenchman spun onto Alex Iwobi's pass and fired in from the edge of the area to lift Everton up to 13th in the table.

West Ham slip to 18th with just one win from their opening seven league games.

Rohit Sharam-led India will be looking to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 when they host Australia in a three-match T20I series starting from Tuesday (September 20). India last locked horns with Australia in a T20I series last year and won 2-1.

This will be India's first assignment since their disappointing exit from the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE where the Men in Blue failed to make it to the final after facing straight defeats against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The hosts will be aiming to bounce back and regain some confidence ahead of the World Cup in Australia next month.

While it remains to be seen who will be groomed as the second all-rounder in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, the series will also mark the return of fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel. After the Indian pacers' poor show at the Asia Cup, a lot will be riding on the shoulders of Bumrah and Harshal against the Aussies.

India were dealt&nbsp;with a blow ahead of the start of the T20I series as senior pacer Mohammed Shami was ruled out of the three-match rubber after testing positive for COVID-19. He has been replaced by Umesh Yadav, who has been recalled to the T20I team after a long gap.

Arsenal thrashed Brentford 3-0 on Sunday to reclaim the top spot on the Premier League table and continue their magnificent run this season. Mikel Arteta's men were dealing with injuries to some of their key players ahead of the game but managed to clinch all three points after a clinical display away from home.

Arteta handed out a special Premier League debut to talented young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri during the game as he became the youngest player to play in the Premier League. 15-year-old Nwaneri came on as a substitute in injury time to replace Fabio Vieira and set a new record in the league.

At 15 years and 181 days, he is the youngest player to have graced the Premier League, surpassing Harvey Elliott's record, who made his Premier League debut at the age of 16 years and 30 days for Fulham in 2019. Nwaneri has grown through the ranks at Arsenal's academy and has played for the club's U-18 team before making his senior-team debut on Sunday.

Who is Ethan&nbsp;Nwaneri?

Nwaneri, who is still in school, had to change on his own and was not allowed to do that with the rest of the Arsenal team on Sunday as he is still 15. Born in 2007, as per reports, Nawneri joined the Arsenal academy at the age of nine and has since developed into a brilliant midfield prospect.

Nwaneri made his debut for the Arsenal U-18s when he was only 14 and scored on his debut against Reading. He is an attacking midfielder, who has creativity and pace going forward. Nwaneri is touted to become one of the key members of the Arsenal squad in the future, joining the likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

Speaking about his talent, Arteta said he was really impressed by what he saw from Nwaneri in training and wanted to hand his dream debut if there was an opportunity against Brentford.

“I met the boy, I really liked what I saw. He has trained a couple of times with us. And I had a feeling from yesterday that if the opportunity could come, I was going to do it. He deserves it and it sends a really strong message about who we are as a club," Arteta said after Arsenal's 3-0 win over Brentford.

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir believes India can not win the T20 World Cup this year if they cannot beat Australia in the tournament. Australia are the defending champions and the hosts of the upcoming edition of the tournament and will start the tournament as one of the favourites for the title.

India and Australia are set to lock horns with each other in a three-match T20I series at home starting on Tuesday. The series will serve as perfect preparation for both teams ahead of the showpiece event next season. Gambhir wants the Indian team to not take the assignment lightly and get the better of Australia at home.

Talking about the importance of the upcoming series for the Indian team, Gambhir said India will have to beat Australia if they want to win the T20 World Cup this year. The former opener also pointed out how India had defeated Australia in both the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup on their way to lifting the titles.

"I have said this earlier and I am saying this again. India cannot win the (T20) World Cup if they do not beat Australia," Gambhir said on Star Sports.

"I mean, look at the 2007 T20 World Cup. We defeated them in the semi-finals. In the 2011 ODI World Cup, we thrashed them in the quarter-finals. Australia is one of the most competitive teams out there and you will have to beat them if you want to win any competition," he added.

The upcoming three-match series against the Aussies will be a good test for the Indian team and the Men in Blue will be hopeful of bouncing back after their disappointing campaign in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022. India failed to make it to the final of the Asia Cup after back-to-back defeats against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Kohli had smashed his 71st international century while opening the batting in India's final Super Four game against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, sparking a debate if he should continue batting at the top for the Indian team in the shortest format.

Ahead of the start of India's three-match T20I series against Australia at home, skipper Rohit was asked if Kohli can be considered for the opening slot in the T20 World Cup. The Indian captain said Kohli is a 'definite option' for the team as an opener as he has done well opening for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL as well.

"It is always nice to have options available for you. It is important going into a World Cup that you have flexibility. You want the players to be in best shape batting at any position. When we try and do something new, that does not mean that's a problem," Rohit said during the presser.

"For us, we understand the quality of all our players and what they bring for us. But yeah, it is an option (Virat Kohli opening) for us, we will always keep that in mind. Since we have not taken a third opener, he opens for his franchise in the IPL and he has done really well, so it is a definite option for us," he explained.

However, Rohit insisted Rahul remains India's first-choice opener and Kohli will only come into the picture if his performances dip in the T20 World Cup. The Hitman confirmed Kohli will be India's third opener and might play a few matches ahead of Rahul in the showpiece event next month.

"Virat Kohli is our third opener and he will open in some of the games. In the last match of Asia Cup, we were happy with the way he played. But KL Rahul will open the batting in the World Cup, we do not want to experiment with that position a lot, his performance sometimes goes quite unnoticed," said Rohit.

India will look to fine-tune their preparations for the T20 World Cup next month when they lock horns with Australia in a three-match T20I series starting on Tuesday. The first match will be played at the PCA Stadium in Mohali followed by the next two encounters in Nagpur and Hyderabad.
