Kylian Mbappe scored a screamer and set up another goal as Real Madrid thrashed Sevilla 4-2 on Saturday to move second in La Liga above stuttering rivals Barcelona.

After Atletico Madrid beat Barca on Saturday to claim top spot at Christmas, Carlo Ancelotti's side also took advantage with a comfortable home win which leaves them a point behind the leaders.

Madrid coach Ancelotti said ahead of Sevilla's visit that Mbappe's adaptation period had ended following his summer switch from Paris Saint-Germain and the French forward proved the coach right with a strong performance and his 14th goal of the season across all competitions.

Fede Valverde also netted a brilliant effort from range, with Rodrygo Goes and Brahim Diaz on the scoresheet for the hosts too.

Isaac Romero and Dodi Lukebakio scored for Sevilla, although they were thoroughly outplayed on veteran defender Jesus Navas' final game for the club.

"I think that we know each other better, my arrival changed a lot of things, and now, as the coach said, the adaptation is over and I feel very good in the team," Mbappe told Real Madrid TV.

"We can see on the pitch that I click better with my team-mates and now we're all playing better."

Mbappe, back after a brief absence with a thigh injury, scored for Madrid in midweek as they won the Intercontinental Cup.

It was welcome relief for the forward after missing two penalties in recent weeks against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao, as well as suffering criticism for his form.

"I know I've got much more in my legs than I'm showing, but in the last games I've played better," Mbappe added.

"The Bilbao game was good for me, I hit the bottom, I missed a penalty and it was a moment to realise that I have to give everything for this shirt and show my personality."

With Vinicius Junior suspended, Mbappe took the reins and broke the deadlock in the 10th minute as Madrid brought the ball out from the back and worked it to Rodrygo on the left flank.

The Brazilian squared to Mbappe on the edge of the area, who took one touch to control, another to set himself and with his third, smashed a fierce effort past the helpless Alvaro Fernandez.

Madrid's second, 10 minutes later, was even better, with Valverde firing a screamer into the top corner from over 30 yards out after a short corner routine.

Ancelotti's side were in full flow and the third followed in the 34th minute when Lucas Vazquez crossed for Rodrygo, who finished with aplomb.

<h2>Navas bows out</h2>

Sevilla hit back within a minute, with Romero nodding home from Juanlu Sanchez's cross after good work by Dodi Lukebakio.

Sevilla came out strongly in the second half and Romero should have added a second but fired straight at Thibaut Courtois when well placed.

Instead it was Madrid who stretched their lead, with Mbappe dinking a superb pass through for Diaz to finish clinically.

Sevilla brought on Navas after the hour mark and he was applauded by the Santiago Bernabeu, with this his 705th and final appearance for the club, far more than any other player.

Madrid and Sevilla players together gave the retiring Spanish great -- a World Cup winner in 2010 and two-time Euros champion -- a guard of honour at the start of the game.

Navas, 39, won four Europa Leagues and two Copa del Rey trophies with Sevilla, but his final appearance ended in disappointment for the Andalusians, who were outplayed in the Spanish capital.

Fernandez saved from Rodrygo after Mbappe rounded the goalkeeper and passed the ball back to his Brazilian strike-partner, as Madrid looked for a fifth.

Lukebakio pulled one back late on for Sevilla as Madrid were able to finish an impressive year, in which they became Spanish and European champions, with a good result.

La Liga: Kylian Mbappe on target as Real Madrid down Sevilla 4-2

Kerala Blasters FC returned to winning ways with a dominant 3-0 triumph over Mohammedan SC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season tonight. With this win, the home team completed a league double over Mohammedan SC this season.

A stellar second half performance from Kerala Blasters FC saw the likes of Noah Sadaoui and Alexandre Coeff get on the scoresheet along with an own goal from Bhaskar Roy.

The first half hour of the game saw both defences holding their shape and thwarting the opposition’s attack. However, the hosts had a few half chances with Noah orchestrating most of the moves. He combined with Kwame Peprah brilliantly before the drinks break but the Ghanaian’s header was too tame to trouble Roy in goal.

The final quarter of the first half saw Kerala Blasters FC dominate possession, whereas Mohammedan SC were happy to sit back and hold their lines.

However, Kerala Blasters FC eventually created the best opening of the first half when Adrian Luna found Noah in the box with a long ball. The Moroccan headed the ball towards an onrushing Korou Singh. However, the youngster’s header struck the post before Peprah nestled the side netting, summing up the first period which saw only a solitary shot on target.

Kerala Blasters FC continued their dominance in the second half with Milos Drincic coming very close to breaking the deadlock from a corner delivered by Luna. The defender rose the highest from the corner and made a great connection but he was denied by Bhaskar, who made a diving save to keep the visitors in the game. Luna found Drincic in the subsequent corner as well but this time he headed it wide.

Kerala Blasters FC finally broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute courtesy of an error from Bhaskar Roy. The Mohammedan SC custodian misjudged a corner kick from Luna as he tried to punch it out instead of gathering the ball. Therefore he deflected the ball into his own net, opening the scoring for the game.

In the meantime, Kerala Blasters FC almost doubled the lead with Korou squaring it to Luna in the box. But before it could reach him, Zodingliana Ralte cleared it away. In the 71st minute, Andrey Chernyshov unleashed Cesar Manzoki replacing Carlos Franca upfront in search of an equaliser.

However, the hosts doubled their lead in the 80th minute when Korou found Noah in the penalty area after Luna’s corner kick was cleared away. The Moroccan was in acres of space to direct a thunderous header into the bottom right corner.

Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters FC brought in Alexandre Coeff and Lalthanmawia Renthlei to close out the game. The Frenchman made an instant impact as he scored the third goal for the hosts in the 90th minute. He found himself at the end of a cross from Luna and hammered the ball home to seal their fourth win of the campaign.

ISL: Second half blitz propels Kerala Blasters to 3-0 win over Mohammedan SC

Manchester United crashed to a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, while Chelsea missed the chance to go top of the Premier League after a 0-0 draw at Everton on Sunday.

United boss Ruben Amorim, who once again left Marcus Rashford out of his squad, is set for a miserable Christmas following the worst result of his brief reign.

Languishing in 13th place, United have suffered four defeats in nine matches in all competitions since Amorim arrived from Sporting Lisbon in November to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag.

United's second successive loss after their League Cup exit at Tottenham on Thursday underlined Amorim's belief that their road back to the top will be long and arduous.

United, who have conceded first in their last six games, were booed off at half-time, while the final whistle was greeted by more jeers from the few fans who stayed until the bitter end.

While it is far too early to pass judge on Amorim, the Portuguese coach cannot afford many more results like this if he is to keep the players and fans on his side.

Amorim's decision to play without Rashford for the third consecutive game will face fresh scrutiny after United's wretched performance.

Amorim surprisingly omitted the 27-year-old England forward from the squad for United's win at Manchester City last weekend, prompting Rashford to hint he was willing to leave the club for a "new challenge".

Rashford was at Old Trafford wearing a United tracksuit amid his extended exile as Amorim made six changes from the line-up beaten 4-3 by Tottenham in the League Cup quarter-finals.

Again, United were exposed at set-pieces in the 29th minute when Bournemouth's teenage defender Dean Huijsen punished poor marking at a free-kick to glance a header past Andre Onana.

There was even worse to come for Amorim in the second half as Justin Kluivert doubled fifth-placed Bournemouth's advantage with a 61st minute penalty following Noussair Mazraoui's foul on the forward.

Antoine Semenyo compounded United's misery two minutes later with a cool finish from Dango Ouattara's pass.

With leaders Liverpool playing at Tottenham in Sunday's late game, second-placed Chelsea would have gone top, for at least a few hours, if they had won at Everton.

But Enzo Maresca's side had to settle for a goalless stalemate that ended their five-match winning run in the league.

Chelsea sit one point behind Liverpool who have two games in hand on the Blues, starting with their trip to Tottenham.

It was an encouraging start to a new era for Everton -- four points clear of the relegation zone -- under new owners the Friedkin Group, whose purchase brought an end to Farhad Moshiri's tumultuous tenure.

Everton's new executive chairman Marc Watts was in attendance at Goodison Park to see Chelsea come closest to winning when Nicolas Jackson's first-half header hit the post.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira enjoyed a dream debut as his side won 3-0 at relegation rivals Leicester.

Replacing the sacked Gary O'Neil, former Porto boss Pereira left his role at Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab to fulfil his dream of managing in England.

Goncalo Guedes started the Pereira era with a flourish as he met Nelson Semedo's cross with an agile finish in the 19th minute.

As if that welcome gift from his fellow Portuguese wasn't enough, Pereira received another present from a compatriot in the 36th minute when Rodrigo Gomes slid in to notch his first goal for Wolves.

Matheus Cunha's 44th minute strike from Guedes' pass ensured third-bottom Wolves would move within two points of fourth-bottom Leicester.

Bottom-of-the-table Southampton held on for a 0-0 draw at Fulham as new manager Ivan Juric watched from the stands.

Juric, axed by Roma in November after just 12 games, was not in charge on Sunday as he awaited a work permit to replace Russell Martin.

Southampton are eight points adrift of safety with only one win from 17 league games.

The Indian women’s team has drawn first blood in the three-match ODI series after a one-sided win against the West Indies on Sunday (Dec 22). Playing in the ICC Championship match at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, Smriti Mandhana was the hero of the hour for Women in Blue as she slammed 91 runs,&nbsp;while Renuka Singh Thakur scalped a five-for. The 211-run win sees India women take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.

<h2>India win opening contest</h2>

After India scored 314/9 in their 50 overs, the West Indies were never in the contest as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Both openers Qiana Joseph and skipper Hayley Matthews were dismissed without troubling the scorers, with the former departing for a rare platinum duck (out for zero without facing a ball). Only four batters got into double figures for the visitors as they struggled to keep pace with the Indian bowlers.

Renuka was the pick of the bowlers with five wickets, while other bowlers also got into the act with at least one wicket each. As a result of the good show with the bowl, the West Indies were bowled out for 103 in 26.2 overs.&nbsp;

<h2>Mandhana runs riot with bat</h2>

Earlier in the day, Smriti Mandhana was the pick of the batters, as she scored 91 off 103 balls&nbsp;with 13 fours in her innings. She was given a good helping hand by Pratika Rawal (40) and Harleen Deol (44) as India continued their dominance with the bat. Other batters also got an impressive start but were unable to convert it into big innings. Harmanpreet Kaur (34) and Jemimah Rodrigues (31) were also handy with their knocks.

Zaida James of the West Indies bagged a five-for. With India leading the series 1-0, the hosts will have the opportunity to win the series on Tuesday in the second ODI, which will be played at the same venue.

Both openers Qiana Joseph and skipper Hayley Matthews were dismissed without troubling the scorers, with the former departing for a rare platinum duck (out for zero without facing a ball). Only four batters got into double figures for the visitors as they struggled to keep pace with the Indian bowlers. Renuka was the pick of the bowlers with five wickets, while other bowlers also got into the act with at least one wicket each. As a result of the good show with the bowl, the West Indies were bowled out for 103 in 26.2 overs.

She was given a good helping hand by Pratika Rawal (40) and Harleen Deol (44) as India continued their dominance with the bat. Other batters also got an impressive start but were unable to convert it into big innings. Harmanpreet Kaur (34) and Jemimah Rodrigues (31) were also handy with their knocks. Zaida James of the West Indies bagged a five-for. With India leading the series 1-0, the hosts will have the opportunity to win the series on Tuesday in the second ODI, which will be played at the same venue.

Former England skipper Joe Root has returned to the ODI squad for the first time in over a year as the England Cricket Board (ECB) announced the 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy on Sunday (Dec 22). Root will return to the 50-over set-up for the first time since the 2023 ODI World Cup, having been largely overlooked in the white-ball format. On the other hand, Test skipper Ben Stokes was omitted from the squad as he struggles with a hamstring injury sustained during the New Zealand series.

<h2>Root returns, Stokes misses out</h2>

The 2019 World Cup winner has been an integral part of the Test side in the last few years but has been overlooked for white-ball tournaments. His last appearance came in the ODI World Cup in 2023, where England endured a tough run. However, Brendon McCullum’s side is in desperate need of a middle-order experienced campaigner, with Root fitting the bill.

&nbsp;He has represented England in 171 ODI matches, scoring 6522 runs and playing a key role in the side’s success in the 2019 World Cup at home. He remains one of the best England batters of all time and, at the time of writing, has 52 international hundreds. In the Test set-up, he is approaching 13,000 runs as he chases Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record for most runs in the red-ball format.

<h2>Stokes left out of side</h2>

Another member of the 2019 World Cup-winning squad, Ben Stokes, was overlooked for the Champions Trophy as he struggles with a hamstring injury. The England Test captain came out of retirement to play the 2023 ODI World Cup with hopes of returning to the Champions Trophy squad.

Champions Trophy 2025: Joe Root returns to England squad; Ben Stokes misses out due to hamstring issue

The Champions Trophy 2025 will have a new co-host as the International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to announce UAE as part of the hybrid model. With India reluctant to play in Pakistan, the ICC was searching for a new co-host, with India’s matches being scheduled at a neutral venue. According to the latest media reports on Sunday (Dec 22), the UAE will be soon announced as the co-host along with Pakistan after a meeting between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi and UAE cricket board's head Sheikh Nahyan.

<h2>UAE to co-host Champions Trophy?</h2>

According to a report from the prominent Pakistani channel Geo News, the issue regarding the host was settled during a meeting between PCB Chairman Naqvi and UAE Cricket Board's head Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan in Ghotki on Saturday night. While Pakistan will remain the official host for the tournament, the UAE will serve as the official co-host, staging India’s matches.

On Monday (Dec 16), the ICC confirmed that it would host the Champions Trophy in a hybrid mode after striking a deal with PCB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). As part of the agreement until 2027, India and Pakistan will only face each other at a neutral venue if either nation is hosting a multi-nation tournament. Pakistan will host the 2028 Women’s T20 World Cup to compensate for the hybrid model.

Birmingham, United Kingdom
Manchester City hit a new low on Saturday (Dec 21) after they lost to Aston Villa in the Premier League’s early kickoff. Playing at Villa Park, Pep Guardiola’s side was condemned to their third consecutive defeat, meaning they have won only one of their last 12 matches in all competitions. On the other hand, Villa move above Man City with the win as Unai Emery’s side look to challenge for the top four and a return to the Champions League.
<h2>Manchester City lose at Villa</h2>
Playing against Emery’s side, City came into the match on the back of a narrow defeat to Manchester United at the Etihad. However, things did not go well with Pep’s side as in-form Jhon Duran scored in the 16th minute from open play. Villa were the better side by then and pressed on every possible counterattack.
Duran and Lucas Digne both had more open opportunities as they looked to open the opposition's defense. Things could have gone from bad to worse in the 33rd minute for City, but last-ditch defending from City’s defense saw them keep the score at 1-0.

After the break, Morgan Rodgers was the bright star as the visitors had to make a forced change in defense with Kyle Walker coming in place of injured John Stones. Rodgers scored the second Villa goal in the 65th minute while Phil Foden’s goal in the 93rd minute was just a consolation.
"Congratulations Aston Villa and keep going. In the mid-block, they are so strong. 
"We have good moments, we had chances, more chances than in the (Manchester) United game, but in the second half we dropped and our pressing was not good enough... We found a goal in the end, but too late."

Premier League: Manchester City's poor run hits new low as Aston Villa register 2-1 win at Villa Park

New Delhi, India
Team India finally ended their barren run of 17 years to win their second T20 World Cup after they beat South Africa in the final on 29 June 2024. Defending 177, India beat South Africa by seven runs to win a last-over thriller in Barbados. The Men in Blue also ended their 11-year wait for an ICC trophy having last won the Champions Trophy in 2013. Virat Kohli was the star of the match having scored 76 runs in the final while Indian bowlers deserved credit having pulled off a master class with the ball in the death overs.
<h2>India win last-over thriller</h2>
Tasked to defend 177, South Africa were in the driver’s seat until the last three overs when they needed 27 runs to win from 28 balls. However, a show of class with the ball and then in the field saw India pull off a great win. Suryakumar Yadav’s catch of David Miller in the final over was also decisive. India restricted South Africa to 169/8 in 20 overs and won the T20 World Cup for the first time since 2007.
South Africa got off to a poor start in their innings having lost Reeza Hendricks (4) and Aiden Markram (4) in the opening three overs. However, the Proteas then recovered well Tristan Stubbs (31) and Klaasen stitching a partnership of 58 runs for the third wicket. Despite Stubbs’ wicket, Klaasen continued his onslaught with the ball to help South Africa take the driver’s seat. His innings consisted of 5 sixes and 2 fours and he scored 52 off 27 deliveries in his innings.
However, Klaasen’s wicket on the first ball of the 17th over completely changed the course of the match with further wickets of Marco Jansen (2) and Miller (21) adding to India’s win.

<h2>Virat Kohli comes good with the bat</h2>
Batting first, like South Africa, India also suffered blows at the start of the innings with skipper Rohit Sharma (9), Rishabh Pant (0) and Suryakumar Yadav (3) all getting out in the powerplay. India were 34/3 at one stage, however, they recovered well after Virat and Axar Patel helped the 2007 champions recover. Virat scored 76 off 59 while Axar was unfortunate to get run out on 47 off 31 when was caught napping by Quinton de Kock.
Shivam Dube also played a valuable innings of 27 runs off 16 balls which helped India post 176/7 in their 20 overs. Keshav Maharaj (23/2) and Anrich Nortje (26/2) were the pick of the bowlers for South Africa in the final.
The victory also meant India became the third team after West Indies and England to win the T20 World Cup on multiple occasions.

Rewind 2024: Rohit Sharma's Team India ends 17-year T20 World Cup drought in West Indies

New Delhi, India
Rejected in the Indian Premier League (IPL), India’s domestic star Anmolpreet Singh broke Yusuf Pathan’s record for the fastest domestic hundred on Saturday (Dec 21) in List A Cricket (India’s domestic 50-over competition). The 35-ball ton saw him break the 14-year record after being snubbed by IPL franchises in the auctions in November. Courtesy of the score, Punjab beat Arunachal Pradesh by nine wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium A Ground in Ahmedabad.
<h2>Anmolpreet breaks Pathan’s record</h2>
Known for his devastating batting approach, Anmolpreet’s snub in IPL came as a surprise for many as he represented the likes of Mumbai Indians and SunRisers Hyderabad in the past. He went on a rampage in the white-ball contest on Saturday as Punjab chased down a 165-run target in just 12.5 overs. Riding on Anmolpreet’s brilliant knock, Punjab were scoring at a rate of 13 runs per over.
In his innings, the 26-year-old scored 9 sixes and 12 fours with 104 runs coming in boundaries from his 115-run knock. He was given a good helping hand by Prabhsimran Singh as he remained unbeaten on 35 off 25 while skipper Abhishek Sharma departed for 10 off 7.

The pair of Prabhsimran and Anmolpreet stitched an unbeaten stand of 153 runs for the second wicket as they took Punjab home in a one-sided win. All Arunachal Pradesh bowlers were expensive with the lowest economy of 9.5.
Earlier the record was held by Yusuf when he hit the century in 40 balls while representing Baroda in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was at the peak of his powers in the 2010s when he also won the ODI World Cup with the Indian team. He was part of the side under MS Dhoni with Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli being the notable names on the list.
