Premier League champions Arsenal lost their 100% record for the season in dramatic fashion as they were routed 3-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion. First-half strikes from Pascal Gross and Charalampos Kostoulas put the home side in control at the break, before summer signing Chema Andrés added a third from a corner on his full home debut. The Spaniard's header meant that Arsenal — which had been defensively excellent this season — conceded as many goals on Saturday as they had done in the rest of the season combined. After a cagey opening on the south coast, the game sparked into life on the half-hour mark when the in-form Gross found himself with time and space on the edge of the box.

MANILA, Philippines – The timing could hardly be more complicated. The boxing draw for the 2026 Asian Games will be held today, just hours after Eumir Marcial's bout against Omar Huerta in Temecula, California. The result and Marcial's physical condition after the fight will determine whether the Tokyo 2021 Olympic bronze medalist can fly to Japan and compete in the 80kg division starting Sept. 23. "Mahirap umasa. Very stressful umasa," said Association of Boxing Alliances of the Philippines (ABAP) president Marcus Manalo. "I think malabo na. Mabigat din ang kalaban niya. If he wins, ano ang condition niya? Kung makahabol siya, may jetlag pa siyang haharapin," he added. Huerta, 30, an American of Mexican descent, is no patsy with a 15-1-1 (13 KOs) record. Marcial is unbeaten in seven pro fights. Another concern for Manalo is Marcial's hands. "Laging na-i-injure, at matagal ang recovery," he said. In the end, it will be up to Marcial if he can catch up with Team Philippines in time to be included in the draw. If he makes it, it will be his third Asian Games stint after a bronze in 2018 Jakarta-Palembang and silver in 2023 Hangzhou. But with or without Marcial, the Philippine boxing team looks poised to end a long Asian Games gold drought with a crack roster led by Olympic medalists Nesthy Petecio, Aira Villegas and Carlo Paalam. Their roads to glory will be determined in Sunday's draw. TMT
