The death toll from a series of devastating storms that have hit the U.S. has risen to 13 as the Midwest and South cleanup and the West Coast attempts to dig out from the snow. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Saturday that five people were killed across multiple counties on March 4 from the severe weather including high winds. One additional person died indirectly from the winter weather. The storms have left more than 300,000 people across Kentucky and Michigan in the darkness as of Sunday, according to PowerOutage.us. In Southern California, residents and visitors resorted to writing out ‘help us’ in the snow…

Liverpool were quick to notice Darwin Nunez asking Cosy Gakpo to sniff his armpit after the Dutchman broke the dead lock against Manchester United on Sunday evening Darwin Nunez urged Cody Gakpo to smell his armpits – as the Dutchman celebrated breaking the deadlock against Manchester United. Liverpool were in red-hot form on Sunday as they put United to the sword, netting seven times at Anfield. Nunez, who was been heavily criticised for his finishing, was on the scoresheet twice – but it was celebrating Gakpo’s goal that produced the bizarre moment. Cameras picked up Nunez begging Gakpo to smell his armpit…

Cody Gakpo has revealed that Liverpool’s front-three had found it ‘difficult’ to play with one another, after he bagged a brace in their huge win over Man United. Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all scored twice in the 7-0 victory at Anfield on Sunday. The Dutchman’s superb finish from Liverpool’s first attempt on target gave the hosts the half-time lead. Within five minutes of the restart it was over as a contest with Nunez’s header making it 2-0 after some comical defending allowed Harvey Elliott to cross and a lightning counter-attack led by Salah ended with Gakpo finishing in style for…

MO SALAH completely embarrassed Lisandro Martinez before setting up Liverpool’s third goal against Manchester United. The Egyptian king was on fire for the Reds and scored twice in the 7-0 win. He also played a key role in two other goals, slipping in Cody Gakpo brilliantly to put the game in Liverpool’s control at the start of the second half. But before the pass he had to take on Martinez and he left the World Cup winner on the floor. Salah feigned to cut inside before instantly continuing down the right flank, spinning Martinez who had no clue how to stop the Liverpool winger.…

WELL at least there is a consolation for Manchester United after this devastating derby drubbing – their scouting department is clearly on the ball. Because it was Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez – two United targets nabbed by Liverpool – who inflicted a defeat which comprehensively ended Erik ten Hag’s slim prospects of winning the Premier League title. In a devastating seven-minute burst either side of half-time, Dutch forward Gakpo struck twice, either side of a header from Uruguayan striker Nunez, and Jurgen Klopp’s resurgent side moved ominously to within one place of the Champions League spots. Mo Salah broke Liverpool’s Premier League scoring record by hammering a double…

SCORING goals has been a major problem for Chelsea this season. In fact, the Blues have netted just SIX times in nearly four months. That’s six goals in 15 games since November, and just three of those have come in the Premier League. No Prem team has scored fewer goals than Chelsea since November 6. Their tally in that period is the same as Manchester United midfielder Fred, a player who is hardly renowned for finding the back of the net. The Old Trafford ace is on something of a hot streak at the moment, while the shocking demise at Stamford Bridge is clear for all to…

ERIK TEN HAG insists that giving Cristiano Ronaldo the boot did not cost him a wink of sleep. The Manchester United boss has made a string of huge decisions — including dumping Ronaldo. Asked if there was a lack of discipline at United, Ten Hag replied: “There was — and I don’t have to lie about it. “Top players like structure, not only on the pitch, so you need some rules. “In every organisation when there are no rules and discipline in taking the rules seriously, you create a mess. “It was quite obvious because I could see on the pitch what was going on.”…

Three years ago, I declared that COVID-19 almost certainly came from the Chinese Wuhan lab. Now, the world is finally admitting the truth. The cover-up of COVID-19’s origins is one of the greatest scandals in the history of the world. Millions of people all over the planet have died from the China Virus. The cost of the outbreak and the lying about its origins is incalculable, some say in excess of $50 trillion. Now it’s time to hold China—and the corrupt forces who have facilitated this colossal suppression of facts—accountable for the damage they have inflicted upon all of humanity. According to recent reports, the U.S.…

Health experts are telling 200,000 residents in Florida to avoid washing their face with tap water after a man died from a brain-eating amoeba. Officials believe the unnamed Charlotte County man died after rinsing his sinuses using tap water contaminated with the microscopic pathogen. Dr Mobeen Rathore, an infectious disease expert from the University of Florida, told DailyMail.com residents in the county should avoid exposing their nose to tap water – including while showering – until ‘officials give the all clear’. ‘Unless it’s cleared [by local health authorities] you should avoid any water going into the nose — at least for now. ‘In the shower, avoid…

Former Manchester United footballer Brian McClair went viral in January after being snapped in a pub with a bushy, white and long scraggly hair Manchester United icon Brian McClair admits he looked like an “island castaway” weeks after an image of him sporting a wild, bushy beard and long scraggly hair circulated on social media. The former Scotland international, who had a painfully-uninteresting (normal) haircut throughout his playing career, says the Tom Hanksification started during lockdown when all the barbers shut. “I just thought: let things grow, see where we end up,” McClair told The Telegraph. “Then … I was out one night and…

Phil Foden allegedly flirted online with The Cabins star Holly Burns weeks before he was involved in a furious spat with girlfriend Rebecca Cooke on holiday in Corfu Manchester City star Phil Foden reportedly flirted with reality TV star Holly Burns before his bust-up with girlfriend Rebecca Cooke. Rebecca allegedly yelled: “Do you think I’m a d***head?” at Foden when the pair were holidaying together in Corfu in June. The argument stemmed from the fact that Rebecca had been on Foden’s phone as the youngster when for a swim in the sea. And according to The Sun, Foden had been “innocently flirting”…

Champions League final to find the pinnacle of Petr Cech’s magnificent career. Cech kept Chelsea in the game that night against Bayern in the Allianz Arena when he foiled Arjen Robben from the spot in extra-time and then he denied Ivica Olic and Bastian Schweinsteiger in the shootout. His save from Schweinsteiger, touching it onto a post with fingertips set the scene for Didier Drogba to step forward and win the trophy which had eluded these players so often and so agonisingly over the years. ‘I wanted to score for Petr Cech,’ said Drogba, the next day. Cech was a popular hero because…

DIDIER Drogba signed for Chelsea in 2004, and soon became one of the Premier League’s most recognisable players. Here, we take a look at his career, and what he has done since leaving Chelsea in 2015. Didier Drogba first came to prominence at Marseille, where he helped the French club to the 2004 UEFA Cup final. The next season, he was signed by Jose Mourinho to lead Chelsea’s attack, for £24million. Success came instantly, with Drogba winning the Premier League in his first season, and scoring in the 2005 League Cup final, where The Blues beat Liverpool 3-2 in Cardiff. Chelsea followed this success up by retaining…

Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang owns an eye-catching array of supercars within an extraordinary collection understood to cost in excess of £3.9million Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is often lauded for his pace on the pitch, but the shamed Arsenal striker clearly has a need for speed off it, too. The Gabonese forward saw his Gunners contract terminated earlier in the year following a high-profile dispute with manager Mikel Arteta before agreeing to take a whopping wage cut in order to join Barcelona. However, his current pay packet of a reported £80,000-per-week means the 32-year-old’s £3.9million car collection costs more than his contract with the La Liga giants. That’s according…

N’GOLO KANTE turned down a nice little earner to prove again he is one. The 5ft 6ins French World Cup winner, 27, reportedly refused to let his image rights be paid to an offshore tax haven, instead telling Chelsea he just wants a “normal salary”. That revelation is the latest example of why many say the 27-year-old is the nicest man in football, as well as the most humble. Of course, you won’t hear Kante claiming that, as shyness and modesty are two common descriptions of the man who made history by winning back-to-back Premier League titles with Leicester and Chelsea. Midfielder Kante’s workrate on the pitch is legendary.…

CRISTIANO RONALDO was fooling nobody as he posed in his pants while sat on a throne appearing to eat cake. Despite now being 38, the Portuguese legend remains in incredible shape due to his eating, exercise routine and sleep and rest following his explosive exit from Manchester United in December. We revealed last week how Ronaldo has raised training and nutrition standards since arriving at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. He has just been named the Saudi Pro League player of the month after scoring eight goals and producing two assists in four appearances throughout February. With form like that, few would begrudge him a cheat day, but…

FOOTBALLER Jack Grealish spent £6million on a stunning mansion which comes with its own helipad. The seven-bedroom home also has a fishing lake, tennis court, golf tee and green, vegetable plot — and enough room for a full-size footie pitch in its 20 acres. And Manchester City and England winger Jack, 27, can entertain his mates as there is a swimming pool, leisure suite, gym, wine store and plenty of other areas for him to practise his new-found love of DJing. There is even a cottage within the grounds where friends and family can stay if he runs out of room in the main…

ALL eyes will be on Phil Foden as a potential England star after an incredible campaign for Manchester City. The outrageously talented midfielder could be set for a starting berth in Gareth Southgate’s first eleven in the Euro 2021 opener, and he has done a lot of growing up since he made his City debut aged just 17. Foden, now 21, became a dad a year after he made his bow for his boyhood club. The wonderkid welcomed a son, Ronnie, with long-term girlfriend Rebecca Cooke, and he dedicated his MOTM display in the Carabao Cup final in 2020. And just a few…

THE BEAUTIFUL daughter of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been stealing the attention at Milan fashion week. The gorgeous Maria, 22, posted a series of cheeky snaps on Instagram. She wore a sparkly silver crop top with some baggy black trousers and a pair of heels as she headed out for a bite to eat in the Italian city – where Milan Fashion Week has just concluded. Maria also updated her Insta story with a snap from a restaurant table that had been set for two followed by a picture of what appeared to be her date’s shoes. And she was described…

Pep Guardiola believes that it is Vincent Kompany’s “destiny” to become Manchester City manager after claiming that it is “already written in the stars.” Kompany played an instrumental part in City’s trophy-winning success, with the club legend lifting four Premier League titles, four League Cups and two FA Cups. The 36-year-old former City defender left the Etihad in 2019 after 11 successful seasons and went on to become a player-manager for Anderlecht. Following his departure from Anderlecht, Kompany succeeded Sean Dyche as Burnley boss in 2022 after the club were relegated from the Premier League. Kompany has been widely hailed for his immediate impact…

Emmanuel Petit has explained why Zinedine Zidane will not replace Graham Potter as Chelsea head coach. Zidane is ‘in the running’ to become the next Chelsea boss, according to reports in Spain. Chelsea’s current boss Potter only arrived in September but is under massive pressure amid the Blues’ horrific run of results. The west London club – who have spent over £600m on players since the summer – have won just one game across their last 11 fixtures in all competitions. Chelsea are currently 10th in the Premier League table, 14 points behind the top four following their 2-0 defeat to rivals Tottenham on Sunday. Chelsea’s hierarchy have repeatedly backed Potter but they are now…

CHELSEA will not be able to recall Romelu Lukaku in the January transfer window despite their current injury crisis. Blues striker Armando Broja could miss the rest of the season after scans revealed he tore his ACL in their friendly with Aston Villa on Saturday. It leaves Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz as Graham Potter’s only real centre-forward options for the rest of the season. But the pair have managed just seven goals between them in 32 appearances this term. Potter was in conversation with co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali pitchside in Abu Dhabi following the loss to Villa. And he may well have been discussing the need for…

FANS are convinced that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is “pushing for a move” away from Chelsea. That’s after the striker appeared to drop a subtle hint last night. Aubameyang’s Premier League return has turned into a nightmare after scoring just once in 12 outings. The 33-year-old was also axed from Chelsea’s Champions League squad last month. And it’s reckoned Aubameyang will now depart this summer, just one year after moving to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona. The former Arsenal captain has already turned down a move to MLS side LAFC. But it appears he is keen on a return to the Nou Camp. Aubameyang scored 13…

MANCHESTER United is considering three options for Mason Greenwood if he stays at the club, sources claim. The striker, 21, has not played for the club since charges of attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and controlling and coercive behaviour were brought against him in October last year. He remains suspended by the club but all charges against him were dropped in February and he could make a return to Old Trafford if he is cleared by an internal investigation. It is understood he could face a TV interview as part of a “phased approach” to his comeback, therapy or full rehabilitation, according to The Athletic. Sources…
