Atalanta Rally To Beat Chelsea 2–1 After Second-Half Fightback

Atalanta came from behind to defeat Chelsea 2–1, overturning a first-half deficit in a match played at a high tempo and backed by a vibrant home atmosphere. The hosts started strongly, driven by constant noise from the stands, and nearly scored within the opening minutes as Ademola Looman caused early problems. Chelsea absorbed that pressure — helped by key defensive work from Acheampong — and soon settled into the game. Their first meaningful attack produced the opener midway through the half. Reece James, kept onside by a tight call, found João Pedro in the box, and the forward finished with a low toepoke between the goalkeeper’s legs. Chelsea grew more comfortable as the half progressed, and Neto almost added another before the interval, but the visitors held their 1–0 lead at the break. Both teams exchanged chances early in the second half. James missed from a promising position, while Lookman had an effort correctly ruled out for offside. Atalanta equalised moments later when Scamacca, left unmarked, headed in from close range. The hosts pushed for a second and eventually found it in the 83rd minute. De Ketelaere advanced into the area and struck a shot that took a deflection, leaving Sánchez unable to react. Chelsea’s late response lacked urgency. João Pedro had a final opportunity deep into stoppage time, but his shot from close range went straight at the goalkeeper, confirming Atalanta’s win.

Plateau Court Sentences Policeman To Death For 2020 Killing Of University Student Rinji Bala

Plateau State Chief Justice David Mann has sentenced Sgt. Ruya Auta to death for the 2020 killing of University of Jos student Rinji Bala, bringing a long-awaited legal case to a close. The judgment, delivered Tuesday at Plateau State High Court 1 in Jos, imposed a sentence of hanging or lethal injection on Auta, who was found guilty of culpable homicide. The ruling followed a thorough review of evidence, witness testimonies, and the circumstances surrounding Bala’s death. The court emphasized that the sentence is meant to uphold the rule of law and reinforce accountability, particularly in cases involving unlawful use of firearms by security personnel. Observers in Plateau State have hailed the verdict as a critical step toward restoring public trust in the justice system. According to reports, Rinji Bala, a 300-level student, was shot dead on May 12, 2020, after being taken into custody with two friends near the Hwolshe area of Jos during the COVID-19 lockdown. Despite no incriminating evidence being found, Bala and his friends were beaten and released. As they ran, Bala was shot in the back, leading to his immediate death. Dr. Garba Pwul (SAN), prosecuting counsel, said justice had been served. “The judgment was actually expected as the convict didn’t deny the offence, he said it was accidental discharge. The prosecution showed the convict had intent to shoot the victim, who was shot in the back on his waist,” he stated. Pwul added that Auta has the constitutional right to appeal, but no notice had been received. Reacting to the verdict, Bala’s father, Peter Bala, said while no one celebrates another’s death, “the law is the law.” He expressed hope that the ruling would deter negligent actions by security personnel in the future. The judgment underscores the importance of upholding citizens’ rights and sending a clear message against unlawful acts by law enforcement officers.

Carragher Calls Salah’s Blast At Liverpool Boss A Disgrace, Future At Club Uncertain

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher on Monday slammed Mohamed Salah after the Egypt forward publicly criticized Reds manager Arne Slot following Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Leeds. Salah claimed he had been “thrown under a bus” and described his relationship with Slot as nonexistent after being left on the bench for the third consecutive game amid a dip in form this season. Liverpool responded by dropping the 33-year-old from the squad for their UEFA Champions League clash against Inter. On Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher, a 2005 Champions League winner with Liverpool, said: “I thought it was a disgrace what he did after the game. Some people have painted it as an emotional outburst. I don’t think it was. I think whenever Mo Salah stops in a mixed zone, which he has done four times in eight years at Liverpool, it’s choreographed with his agent to cause maximum damage and strengthen his own position.” “He’s chosen this weekend to do this now, and he’s waited, I think, for a bad result… Everyone involved with the club [feeling] like they’re in the gutter, and he’s chosen that time to go for the manager and maybe try to get him sacked,” Carragher added. Salah, a two-time Premier League champion and Champions League winner, signed a new contract in April, but hinted he could have played his last game for Liverpool as he prepares to leave for the Africa Cup of Nations after Saturday’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion. Linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League, Salah’s future at Anfield remains uncertain. Carragher said: “What he’s done off the pitch, I think the club have made the right decision in terms of him not going abroad. Whether he will play for Liverpool again, I don’t know. I hope he does, because he’s one of the greatest players we’ve ever had, but if you continue like that, and statements like that, if he doesn’t play, who knows.”
