GLENDALE, Ariz. – One team is in first place with a 10-3 record, the other in last at 3-10.Finding momentum amid a potential mismatch shouldn’t be hard for the NFC-leading 49ers, if they want to retain their position for the No. 1 playoff seed and wild-card bye.The 49ers, by virtue of a win today over the host Cardinals, also can clinch the NFC West for a second straight year.Beyond those stakes, however, is a reminder of the 49ers’ rock-bottom stature before their rise to prominence. They opened 0-9 in 2017 under a first-year, first-time head coach in Kyle Shanahan. These Cardinals began 1-8 under first-year, first-time head coach in Jonathan Gannon.Shanahan closed his initial season by going 5-0, in Jimmy Garoppolo’s first starts at quarterback. Gannon’s debut campaign also has found a spark with a quarterback change: They’re 2-2 in Kyler Murray’s return from anterior cruciate ligament repair.Here are the 49ers’ three keys to avoiding an upset:1.

Wasteful Arsenal finally breaks down Brighton to earn 2-0 win in Premier League

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:30 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal finally wore down Brighton’s resistance despite a multitude of wasted chances to secure a 2-0 win on Sunday that sent the Gunners temporarily at least to the top of the Premier League table on Sunday. Kai Havertz only made the game safe in the 87th by finishing off a quick counterattack to double Arsenal’s lead with a rare clinical finish on an afternoon when the hosts were guilty of widespread profligacy. Havertz’s goal came from Arsenal’s 25th shot of the game — compared to just two for Brighton — and eighth on target although all but one of goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s previous saves had been fairly routine.Arsenal had 15 shots to zero for Brighton in the first half alone but the breakthrough didn’t come until the 53rd. Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke attempted to head clear a corner from Saka but the ball only found Gabriel Jesus, who was on hand to head it back into an empty net. That goal forced Brighton to become more a...
