Man City fined more than $1 million for repeatedly delaying Premier League kickoff times

Manchester City was fined more than one million pounds ($1.35 million) by the Premier League on Thursday for repeatedly delaying kickoff times 'without good reason' last season. City, managed by Pep Guardiola, admitted to nine breaches of league rules related to kickoffs and re-starts after halftime and has apologized. The most dominant team in English soccer over the past decade was handed fines for each breach, amounting to 1.08 million pounds ($1.45 million). The biggest individual fine was 210,000 pounds ($283,000) for a delay of 2 minutes, 22 seconds at the start of the second half against Ipswich on Jan. 19. 'Rules relating to kickoffs and re-starts help ensure the organization of the competition is set at the highest possible professional standard and provides certainty to fans and participating clubs,' the Premier League said in a statement. 'It also ensures the broadcast of every Premier League match is kept to schedule.' City, currently in the U.S. for the Club World Cup, delayed kickoffs for the start of both halves in a match against Manchester United in December. The start of the second half was delayed 2 minutes, 24 seconds — the longest of all the breaches. Last year, City was fined 2.09 million pounds ($2.8 million) for 22 breaches of the same rule over the previous two seasons.

Phil Foden has goal and assist to lead Manchester City past Wydad 2-0 in Club World Cup

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phil Foden scored two minutes into the match and later had an assist to lead Premier League powerhouse Manchester City past Moroccan club Wydad 2-0 in the Club World Cup on Wednesday. City broke Wydad's five-man defensive line early when Foden scored on a deflected cross by goalkeeper El Mehdi Benabid. Jeremy Doku doubled City's lead in the 42nd minute off a corner kick from Foden. Shortly thereafter, an animal-rights activist ran onto the field to protest Morocco's treatment of stray dogs and cats. The man was tackled by security workers and escorted out of Lincoln Financial Field, which was just over half full with 37,446 fans in attendance. There was another brief stoppage in the second half after a Wydad supporter threw a flare behind City's goal. In the 88th minute, Rico Lewis was shown a red card after a hard foul on Samuel Obeng, leaving City with 10 men on the field. City summer signings Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders made their debuts as starters. The club's other new signing, defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, did not play. Key moment Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Doku's strike at the far post put the game away.

Edmonton Oilers' quest for Cup falls short again, what happens now?

Article content We know the vagaries of this two-month tournament but how can this be? How did Edmonton become The City of Slumped Shoulders and Florida become the State of Hockey, first with the Tampa Bay Lightning, now with the Panthers? Four Cups. The way the Panthers went about their work in this series, scoring early and often and making the Oilers chase, seemed on a continuing loop. They were way better in this Final, even if it went six and could be back again next spring because the Maple Leafs who gave Florida their biggest playoff scare, are losing Mitch Marner. Tampa is getting old, Carolina can't get past the third round, no matter what and Washington can't score enough. The Oilers? They rolled over Vegas and Dallas but were basically infield practice for Florida after the first two games that went to overtime. 'A well-oiled machine and I'm talking Florida,' said Wayne Gretzky, one of TNT's between periods commentators.
