City

Manchester City fought back from two goals down to beat Aston Villa and pip Liverpool to one of the closest-fought Premier League titles in memory.

For all the beautiful, hypnotic football played by Guardiola's team this season, City, a shadow of themselves for three quarters of the game, provided evidence of their resilience when they needed it most. "The players were remarkable for 70 minutes," said Gerrard. "Everything we asked of them they did and more. It was nothing compared to the celebrations at the end. The atmosphere inside the Etihad Stadium had already started to become fraught when Lucas Digne crossed for his opposite full-back Cash to head past Ederson and stun the home fans just before half-time. When Philippe Coutinho, once Anfield's favourite son, scored Villa's second in the 69th minute, some home fans decided it was time to leave. Ten years on from that unforgettable moment from Sergio Aguero at Queen's Park Rangers, City picked themselves up off the floor again and mustered another late comeback to beat Aston Villa 3-2 and clinch the Premier League title.

Man City were crowned Premier League champions in the most dramatic circumstances, while Spurs landed fourth and Burnley were relegated.

Put simply, a win at the Etihad will be enough for Pep Guardiola's side, but failure to do so would open the way for Klopp's team to take the title and keep their hopes of an unprecedented quadruple alive. If City lose and Liverpool draw, it then goes down to goal difference, but it would require City to lose by seven goals for Liverpool to finish top. A burst forward by Raul Jimenez caught Liverpool out and the Mexico forward squared for Neto to tap in at the far post in front of The Kop.-- Mark Ogden Either title number 20, a domestic treble and 3/4 of the way to the Quadruple or the end of an improbable dream. There is still a bit of nervousness among the fans inside the stadium, although most are happy to see that it's Robin Olsen in goal for Aston Villa rather than Emi Martinez. Olsen hasn't played for Villa since joining on loan in January. His last club game was playing for Sheffield United in a 3-1 defeat to Blackburn in November. He's just kicked the ball out of play with his first touch. The danger for City now is that they have to throw men forward to get a goal but Ollie Watkins is still causing a lot of problems at the other end. An incredible and unexpected start to the final day as Liverpool fall behind against Wolves at Anfield inside the first three minutes. The energy in the atmosphere was already beginning to drift away but after that Villa goal it's completely gone. Mings has already been spoken to by Michael Oliver. Zinchenko has been up off the bench trying to lift the City fans. It may still work out for City today but it says a lot about Grealish's first season here that he's going to be a spectator for the biggest game of the season Some Man City fans starting to leave. Will regular taker Harry Kane step up to make this game completely safe at 3-0 or will he hand the ball to Son for a possible slice of personal glory? Son gets his goal to move level with Salah in the Golden Boot race.

Manchester City has successfully defended its Premier League title by beating Aston Villa 3-2 on the final day of the season.

“The season was so close, so tight,” Klopp said. “I can imagine it was much worse for the people at home watching on their tellies," Klopp said. Once the field was cleared, the Premier League trophy could be handed to City for the sixth time in 11 seasons. It took İlkay Gündoğan’s header to begin the comeback in the 76th and Rodri equalized two minutes later by striking from the edge of the penalty area, placing the ball through a tight gap into the bottom corner. Liverpool — the only team to disrupt City's run of titles since 2018 with its 2020 success — had to settle for second place. Soon the stadium was cloaked in blue smoke.

Liverpool finishes one point back in the standings, its hopes of an unprecedented quadruple dashed.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, the City player who is from Ukraine, was overcome as he wrapped the league trophy in the Ukrainian flag. Here’s what that means for the USMNT. Ilkay Gündogan, on as a substitute for Bernardo Silva, scored on a far-post header in the 76th minute, followed by Rodri’s two minutes after that and another by Gündogan in the 81st minute. “It was an unbelievable game,” Gündoğan said ( via the Associated Press). “We are human beings and, after going 2-0 down, the chances were just very, very small. Aston Villa goalie Robin Olsen was struck several times as he sought to leave the field. Liverpool can still win three; it faces Real Madrid on Saturday in the Champions League final in Paris. Jurgen Klopp, the team’s manager, took the turn of events Sunday in stride, telling NBC, “If you want to win big, you have to be ready to lose big.”

"(The support) means everything for me - I would die for these people and their support. You just go for it - you're losing anyway." "At 2-1, it just changed the whole situation for me.

Russian forces are bombarding a key city in eastern Ukraine with artillery and missiles in an attempt to take more of the Donbas region.

A Ukrainian court was expected to reach a verdict Monday for the first Russian soldier standing trial for an alleged war crime. Powerful explosions were heard early Monday in Korosten, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of Kyiv, the town’s deputy mayor said. It is to be discussed at a Brussels summit in late June. Ukraine’s parliament voted Sunday to extend martial law and mobilize its armed forces for a third time, until Aug. 23. “I want to say clearly: Only Ukraine has the right to decide about its future. Only Ukraine has the right to decide for itself.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Duda's visit, his second since April, “a historic opportunity not to lose such strong relations, built through blood, through Russian aggression. It was the third straight day of apparent attacks in the Zhytomyr District, Ukrainian news agencies reported. “We haven’t been able to see the sun for three months. “It’s a horror.” They were awaiting an evacuation bus after a fellow villager drove them to Kiurakhove. “Houses are being ruined,” he said.

Austin got back into the match via two yellow cards in quick succession on Rodrigo Schlegel for handballs, the second inside the penalty area at the hour mark. Then, just six minutes later, César Araujo got sent off for a kick out on Alex Ring, whittling Orlando down to nine players. A little more than 20 minutes later, Orlando doubled their lead with Ruan finishing after Stuver saved an initial Mauricio Pereyra attempt.

Manchester City have released a statement apologizing to Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olson after he was assaulted amid a pitch invasion at the Etihad ...

"But I think you should ask Pep [Guardiola] and Man City those questions." It read: "Manchester City would like to sincerely apologize to Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who was assaulted after the final whistle at today's match when fans entered the pitch. Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard was furious after his side's 3-2 loss to Manchester City but it had nothing to do with the match.

There's no better way to zip through a new city than on two wheels. Here are some routes to try, from riverside jaunts to mountain climbs.

Then lock up your bike and go for a swim (or just lounge on the sand) at the public beach at Baby-Plage. From there, it’s a short ride back to the train station. So enjoy the detour, which will take you past lavish houses in the Maryland suburbs of Bethesda and Chevy Chase as you bike east on streets to pick up Beach Drive again. Many benches can be found in Georgetown and Rock Creek and on the C.C.T. for impromptu picnics. The Capital Crescent, a dedicated bike trail, was once the 11-mile Georgetown Branch of the B & O Railroad and now runs parallel to the C & O Canal, one of the country’s major transit arteries before the advent of the railroad; parts of it are now preserved. Many bikers take a right at the river through Georgetown, where you can enjoy the area’s brightly painted and lovingly restored historic homes, to pick up the Capital Crescent Trail. Up ahead, the George Washington Bridge looms, a brawny feat of engineering connecting New York to New Jersey. Younger children will want to stop along the way for snacks and a rest. But consider launching from the intersection of Chambers and West Streets off Tribeca, where views of the river open up (and there’s a Citi Bike dock; $15 per day). Pedal north and keep your eyes peeled for cultural hot spots. Riding this path through a series of linear parks on the western edge of Manhattan is your chance to fall in with locals while cruising along the mighty river that helped make New York the powerhouse it is. On Bogotá’s east side, an avenue leads to the nearby town of La Calera (the road begins just across from a park). There, cyclists begin congregating before sunrise to ride a 3.7-mile, 1,300-foot hill climb called Alto de Patios. By 6:45 a.m., a deluge of riders four and five abreast pours up the hill. A short jaunt north brings you to the tall masts of the artist Olafur Eliasson’s Cirkelbroen, or Circle Bridge. From there, zigzag your way toward the Opera House, stopping at the nearby Hart bakery for buttery pastries.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described his players as "legends" after they completed one of the most memorable comebacks in English Premier League ...

They played an incredible season and we pushed each other to the limit," he said. This achievement is about much more than buying success. It was a win fitting for the occasion. Spare a thought for Liverpool, though, which pushed this City team to the final minutes of the season and has now been pipped to the Premier League by a single point for the second time in three years. "No explanation in Madrid, no explanation today. I had the feeling this will help us to be stronger next season."

More than 300 motorcyclists rumbled into Junction City Sunday evening on their way to Washington DC for Memorial Day.

“Hearing the warm reception from the community and hearing grateful the writers are just to be here and that reception is really a great thing for a community.” Junction City mayor Jeff Underhill says. “Just hoping they’re getting a nice soul charge to know there’s people out there that are standing up, trying to make things better.” Run for the Wall Kansas State Coordinator, Jarrod “Kansas Thumper” Gerbitz says. The group is participating in the annual Run for the Wall motorcycle ride and started their trek in Ontario, California on Wednesday May 18th.

Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions after a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

Firstly, Fernandinho getting physically ousted by Ollie Watkins was out of the equation through his replacement. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to discover that the footballing gods may well have conjured up a game solely for the purpose of debunking a horrifically misguided theory, as Manchester City’s comeback sits on the same table as some of the best fight-backs in the division’s storied history. For a manager that is often on the receiving end of groans from a majority of Manchester City supporters for being economical with his substitutions, this was a mini-victory for the anti-narrative. For Rodri to not only be an insurmountable defensive presence as a lone number six, as well as being a faultless passing hub, his knack for standing tall in the biggest of moments from day one of the season is what possibly sets him apart from the rest. With Manchester City always being a Kyle Walker injury away from not having the best defensive right-back at their disposal, it may be a more astute plan of action for the club to target a player belonging to a similar profile to act as an understudy to the Englishman in the summer, considering ongoing links to Brighton’s Marc Cucurella. Unlike the callous Joao Cancelo - whose biggest weakness was on show in terms of being an excessive risk-taker in possession - the Ukrainian’s decision-making was dictated by the momentum of the contest, restoring a much-needed sense of control in to Manchester City’s build-up.

Employee shortages, inflation, supply chain issues and construction costs impact how the City spends its funds to provide services. We have places to go to work and much more because our dedicated city staff are doing their jobs to make Kannapolis a premier place to be,” said Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg. “This budget concentrates on providing the tools we need to ensure we maintain the high-quality staff we have now and to ensure this continues well into the future.” Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg presented the recommended Fiscal Year 2023 budget to the Kannapolis City Council Monday evening. 6. $149,347 for the replacement of citywide technology equipment and devices. 3.

A new budget and a possible street name change honoring Martin Luther King Jr. are among the topics set for Tuesday night's Vallejo City Council meeting.

The Public Works and Water Departments’ CIP for Fiscal Years (FY) 2022-2023 through FY2026-2027 includes 126 projects with a five-year estimated cost totaling $162,059,893. Proposed expenditure against the ARPA funds will be presented to the council separately for approval. According to the city staff report, adopting the budget resolution by June 14 will allow the City of Vallejo to operate and provide services after June 30, based on the most current projection of revenues and expenditures. The staff report goes on to say that 2021-2022 was a “tumultuous year with great uncertainties in the economy for the county and Vallejo’s local economy, resulting in a significant decline in city’s revenues and projected revenue shortfalls in the five-year financial forecast. Now, many of us are back to our pre-pandemic habits, stocking a standard supply of toilet papers while waiting in lines to be seated at the restaurants. Charter Section 702 requires a public hearing of the proposed budget.

The city has been installing LinkNYC kiosks, which offer services like free phone calls, Wi-Fi and device charging.

Officials selected CityBridge to develop and operate LinkNYC kiosks, which offer services such as free phone calls, Wi-Fi and device charging. The boxy enclosures were once an iconic symbol across the city. It's the end of an era: New York City removed its last public payphone on Monday.

The removal of the last public pay phone happens as the city moves to using new, free high-speed WiFi kiosks.

While the final pay phone will no longer be in service, it won't be forgotten. “As a native New Yorker, saying goodbye to the last street pay phone is bittersweet because of the prominent place they’ve held in the city's physical landscape for decades," Matthew Fraser, Commissioner of the Office of Technology and Innovation, said in a news release. Public pay phones could be found throughout the city decades ago, but the rise of cell phones has made them obsolete.

The city began removing street payphones in 2015 to replace them with kiosks that offer free phone calls, Wi-Fi and device charging.

The boxy enclosures were once an iconic symbol across the city. Officials selected CityBridge to develop and operate LinkNYC kiosks, which offer services such as free phone calls, Wi-Fi and device charging. The last public pay telephone will be displayed at the Museum of the City of New York as part of an exhibit looking back at life in the city before computers.

A legal bid that could have added hundreds of Capitol Hill residents and businesses to the federal lawsuit against the City of Seattle over “deliberate ...

The protest zone formed in early June 2020 around the evacuation of police from the East Precinct building and the barriers at 12th and Pine and in Cal Anderson amid ongoing Black Lives Matter protests and marches. “Yet the City let the situation exist for nearly a month before it finally decided to cease its support for CHOP.” The city’s response to fight the effort to certify the class action has also been sealed over confidentiality concerns. The summer 2020 lawsuit was filed as the CHOP camp was still occupied, led by Capitol Hill-based developer Hunters Capital and a group of real estate and business plaintiffs seeking to be determined financial damages for a group of businesses in the Pike/Pine and 12th Ave areas around the camp and protest zone. The list of plaintiffs grew to including developers Hunters Capital, Redside Partners and Madrona Real Estate, businesses Cafe Argento, Northwest Liquor, Bergman’s Lock and Key, Car Tender, Tattoos and Fortune, Sage Physical Therapy, Richmark Label, and property owners including Onyx Homeowners Association as well as a handful of individual residents. When Plaintiffs spoke with City technicians who were involved in managing the Mayor’s phone, the technicians indicated that Mayor Durkan never informed them that she dropped her phone into the water.

Installation of the kiosks first began in 2016, and there are now 1,860 active Links spread across all five boroughs. Many high-traffic outdoor spots that were once public pay phone sites are now home to LinkNYC kiosks (or Links). These accessible-to-all sidewalk telecommunications hubs-slash-digital billboards are equipped with Wi-Fi, USB charging ports for devices, and microphone-equipped keypads or tablets where users can make free nationwide calls. (As noted by CBS News, however, it’s unclear if these phone booths are even in service.)

Many of the city's old pay phones have been been replaced by newer technology with a different function.

"As a native New Yorker, saying goodbye to the last street payphone is bittersweet because of the prominent place they've held in the city's physical landscape for decades," Matthew Fraser, commissioner of the Office of Technology and Innovation, said in a statement. While there are no more freestanding, public pay phones left in New York City, LinkNYC says they could still exist – on private property. With the advent of cellphones, pay phones across the world have vanished – but one still remained on 7th Avenue, until its removal Monday by LinkNYC.
