Ciro Immobile inspired an admirable recovery from a half-time deficit as the visitors broke Juve’s remarkable 57-match unbeaten run at home in all competitions. The win also saw Lazio move level with the champions on 19 points, five shy of early pacesetters Napoli. And former Italy forward Inzaghi, who guided the Biancocelesti to fifth last term, says his side deserve the respect of Serie A’s title contenders. “It is only right that people talk about Lazio as we achieved something remarkable this evening,” Inzaghi told Mediaset Premium....

“We are going to start from scratch. We are proud to be the defending champions, but we don’t see ourselves as favourites. We see ourselves as equally good and striving to be better than the others.

“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies,” Dr. King said. But tragically for the poor, finding one meal a day is a daunting task, and in some places a miracle. In 43 nations right now, millions of people wake up not knowing where their next meal will come from. Famine conditions have taken hold. We need to carry on Dr....

After starting the season slowly, Mercedes recorded their first win of the season when Hamilton triumphed at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix a fortnight ago and the reigning constructors’ champions were dominant in Barcelona. Hamilton led home a 1-2 in front of team-mate Valtteri Bottas, with nearest title rival Sebastian Vettel only mustering a fourth-placed finish. All the momentum would now appear to be with Mercedes in the title battle, but team boss Wolff is keeping his feet on the ground....

New Delhi, Mar 30 (PTI) The excitement was palpable in his voice as reigning men’s singles champion Parupalli Kashyap predicted the Indian badminton team’s best-ever haul, including a medal in each event, at the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Four years ago, Kashyap had broken a 32-year-old record when he won India’s third men’s singles gold at CWG, emulating Prakash Padukone (1978) and Syed Modi (1982). His exploits helped India bring home four medals from the discipline at the Glasgow Games – one gold, one silver and two bronze medals....

Simpson was almost flawless as the American golfer earned a one-stroke lead in Georgia on Thursday. Playing on Sea Island’s Plantation Course – the easier of the two courses used this week – Simpson overcame a slow start, which saw him bogey his second hole. Simpson was one over par before playing his final 13 holes in eight under to take the first-round lead ahead of Cameron Tringale and Lee Kyoung-hoon – who each played on the Seaside Course – and Rhein Gibson....

There are always some exceptions, like the Panthers facing the Saints and the Eagles facing the Seahawks, but you can still take a chance with either of those defenses. And if you’d rather not, there are plenty of pickups you could stream. The Dolphins are coming off a big game and face the Rams; the Giants get a Bears teams in disarray; and the first-place Lions (coming off a bye) get a sloppy Jaguars team at home....
