Everton risked the fury of their fans after appointing former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as the replacement for Carlo Ancelotti on this day in 2021.
Benitez had enjoyed great success during a six-year spell at Anfield, including winning the Champions League in unforgettable circumstances in 2005 – as well as reaching the final two years later – and lifting the FA Cup in 2006.
His arrival at Goodison Park came following the departure of Ancelotti, who left four weeks earlier to return to Real Madrid.

The controversial appointment saw Benitez sign a three-year contract with the Toffees, making him only the second person to have managed both Liverpool and Everton after William Edward Barclay in the 189…

A rivalry so nice, they’ve got to play it thrice.
The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills get a rubber match in the AFC Wild Card Round after these divisional foes split their regular-season series – thanks in part to the wild winds of Orchard Park in Week 13, which helped New England grind out a 14-10 win. The Bills returned serve with an impressive 33-21 victory in Foxborough 20 days later.
A grudge match this bitter calls for a complementary climate with temperatures feeling like -4 degrees in Buffalo Saturday night.

The Philadelphia Eagles don’t have to travel far down I-95 for their Week 6 non-conference clash with the New York Jets.
While this will be Philadelphia’s second straight road game and third away tilt in four outings, all packed inside a 20-day window, oddsmakers are expecting another convincing win for the Eagles.
New York is coming off an emotionally charged win at Denver last weekend (avenging OC Nathaniel Hackett), which could leave the Jets flat in the Week 6 NFL odds. Gang Green, specifically QB Zach Wilson and the offense, has improved the past two showings, coming through for bettors against the spread.

In the land of “hot takes,” the patient bettor is king.
Today’s sports landscape is drowning with hair-trigger judgments and social media is holding that firehose of opinioned diarrhea.
There’s no better example of this overreaction than Week 2 of the NFL season. Teams that were championed in the summer months are instantly downgraded to “dead to me” status after a bad showing in their season opener.
Some of these abrupt assumptions are simply for shock value because that’s what gets eyeballs. But there’s no denying their impact on the NFL odds because that’s the baseline for oddsmakers each week: market perception.
As someone who treats Week 1 results the same way I do Indian food — with cautious int…
Patson Daka has just spent half an hour recounting the journey that led from school playing fields in Zambia to the spearhead of Red Bull Salzburg’s attack, so it seems cheap to follow up with the kind of question that speaks of football’s maddening impatience levels. But he is about to resume a season whose success can be measured by a strike rate of a goal every 74 minutes in Austria’s Bundesliga, so here goes: would it be fair to say he is the next Erling Braut Haaland?
There is laughter at one end of the line and some relief at the other. “I’m not the next anything,” Daka says. “There’ll only be one Haaland and there’ll only be one Patson. I just want to become the best vision of myself.”

Brazil captain Neymar admitted that his side s 0-0 draw with South Africa in their opening Olympics clash on Thursday felt like a defeat.
The host nation dominated for large spells in Brasilia, but were unable to find a way past Itumeleng Khune in the South Africa goal, even after they were reduced to 10 men when Mothobi Mvala was sent off following a second booking.
Neymar insists Brazil never expected their challenge for the gold medal to be straightforward, but conceded that the result will be a difficult one to forget.
We knew it wouldn t be a case of coming here and bringing home the gold, he said after the match.
For us, the draw is a defeat. The team played to win, but we know our responsibility. We ll face more difficulties yet.
