Marcus Thuram scores his first goal in Serie A where his father was a standout defender

ROME (AP) — Marcus Thuram stood confidently with his legs shoulder-length apart, cupped his hands around his ears so as to better take in the roar of the San Siro crowd and grinned.For his first goal in Serie A — the league where his father Lilian won a series of titles as a standout defender — Thuram clearly wanted to cherish the moment.It was certainly a goal worth celebrating.Thuram met Federico Dimarco’s cross with a diving, forceful header by the far post to set Champions League finalist Inter Milan on its way to a convincing 4-0 win over Fiorentina on Sunday that extended the Nerazzurri’s perfect start.And it turned out that Thuram was just getting started.Having been involved in both goals of a 2-0 win at Cagliari on Monday, Thuram also set up Lautaro Martinez for Inter’s second and then drew the penalty that Hakan Calhanoglu converted for the third.Lautaro then added another with one expert touch to redirect a free kick from Juan Cuadrado and raise his league-leading tally t...Woman killed in shooting at SW Miami-Dade home ID’d as Doral Academy teacher

(AP) — The third installment in the Denzel Washington-led “Equalizer” franchise topped the domestic box office this weekend with $34.5 million according to studio estimates Sunday. By the end of the Monday holiday, Sony expects that total will rise to $42 million.Labor Day signals the end of Hollywood’s summer movie season, which will surpass $4 billion in ticket sales for the first time since the pandemic thanks in no small part to “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” which are still netting records even after seven weeks in theaters. This weekend, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” officially became the biggest movie of 2023 with over $1.36 billion globally, surpassing “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” while Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” sailed past $850 million globally to become the No. 3 movie of the year and Nolan’s third highest grossing.“The Equalizer 3” arrived at a fraught time for Hollywood, with actors seven weeks into a strike for fair contracts with major entertainment companies an...Ukraine to replace defense minister amid counteroffensive

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced late Sunday that he will replace the country’s defense minister, even as Kyiv’s counteroffensive appears to be gaining ground with its troops pushing into Russian-held territory.The departure of Oleksiy Reznikov as defense chief marks the highest-level turnover in Zelenskyy’s inner circle since the start of the war in February 2022. It comes as the Ukrainian government is stepping up its efforts to deal aggressively with corruption allegations involving military officials.In a video message Sunday night, the Ukrainian leader announced that Reznikov would be replaced as defense chief by Rustem Umerov, the head of the country’s State Property Fund. “Reznikov has gone through more than 550 days of full-scale war,” Zelenskyy said. “I believe the ministry now needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society as a whole.” There have been rumblings for weeks that Rezniko’s days were n...Jorge López ‘really pumped’ to rejoin Orioles; Aaron Hicks returns, Austin Voth DFA’d, Colton Cowser optioned | NOTES

Jorge López was the Orioles’ closer when they started to emerge as a contender last spring, but he wasn’t able to enjoy the post-rebuild world with Baltimore after his trade to the Minnesota Twins at the deadline.That is, until now.López rejoined the Orioles on Sunday after the club claimed him off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Saturday.López joins a bullpen in need of high-leverage arms, and he could use a change of scenery after struggling with the Minnesota Twins and Miami Marlins this season. The right-hander saved 19 games with a 1.68 ERA before the Orioles traded him to the Twins last August.López said the 2023 season has been a “roller coaster” but that he’s “really pumped” to be back with the team he pitched better for last season than at any point in his eight-year career.“It’s a new opportunity,” he said. “I’m really glad and grateful to get this job. I’m most excited to g...Rutgers rolls Northwestern 24-7, as Wildcats play 1st game since hazing scandal shook the program

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Northwestern lost to Rutgers 24-7 on Sunday in the football team’s first game since a hazing scandal led to a coaching change, investigations and multiple lawsuits.Rutgers quarterback Gavin Wimsatt threw a touchdown and ran for another as the Scarlet Knights dominated the time of possession, controlling the ball for almost 38 minutes.The loss in interim coach David Braun’s first game is Northwestern’s 12th straight dating back to last season. Braun replaced longtime coach Pat Fitzgerald, who was first suspended and then fired after allegations of hazing surfaced in the summer and spread to other programs at the university.Northwestern, which finished last season 1-11, had one positive moment — scoring with about 20 seconds to play on a 1-yard pass by backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan to Caleb Komolafe. Cincinnati transfer Ben Bryant started and finished 20-of-35 passing for 169 yards and two interceptions. He was sacked five times.
