The hosts had not tasted defeat at RheinEnergie Stadion in the league since April 2016, but the omens were not good for them when Martinez put Carlo Ancelotti’s visiting heavyweights ahead midway through the first half, Bayern having previously gone on to win every time the former Athletic Bilbao star had struck for them in the Bundesliga. And that streak remained intact, thanks in no small part to his fellow Spain international Bernat, who afforded the visitors a comfortable two-goal cushion when he slotted home at the back post three minutes into the second half, before substitute Franck Ribery capped off the win by scoring a third in the 90th minute....

“Something wicked is rolling into our shop next week,” excitedly proclaims the official Konami merchandise shop’s Twitter account. The announcement goes on to confirm that Konami is launching an official Silent Hill merchandise collection, starting with a limited-edition skateboard. It’s the kind of announcement that could be tied into a separate game announcement, or so many Silent Hill fans very much want to believe. Or it could simply be an incredibly poorly timed promotion....

Giroud hopes of Alexis & Ozil deals The France international has clocked up a total of 274 games for the Gunners in all competitions, with a double century having now arrived in England’s top-flight. Koscielny joined the north London club from Lorient back in 2010 and has developed into one of Europe’s top central defenders. The 31-year-old is an ever-present in Arsene Wenger’s starting XI and put pen to paper on a new contract with the Gunners on Thursday, taking him through to 2020....

Serge Gnabry’s goal was cancelled out by Lucas Holer in the 89th minute at the Allianz Arena as Bayern fell four points behind Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund. Kovac, who is set to come under increasing pressure once more, said coughing up points so late was a blow to Bayern. “Against Augsburg we lost the points in the 89th minute and [against Freiburg] was the same. These were four points that are missing now,” he told a news conference....

Bayern initially started strongly under their new coach but subsequently endured a run of four games without a win in all competitions to increase speculation about Kovac’s future. The Bundesliga champions have bounced back with five wins in their past six games in all competitions but head to Signal Iduna Park knowing they will trail Dortmund regardless of Saturday’s result. Former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Kovac, though, was calm at his pre-match news conference with president Uli Hoeness having again given his public backing to the coach....

PSG beat Man Utd to ’new Ronaldo’ Guedes Claudio Ranieri’s side surprised everyone by going from 5000/1 outsiders to league winners in a fairytale season, picking up their first ever top-flight title. Kramaric was their record signing back in January 2015, but did not pick up a Premier League medal as he played just two games for the Foxes in his second campaign at the club, leaving the King Power Stadium for Hoffenheim on loan....

Meeke won in three hours, 41 minutes and 44 seconds, just 18 seconds above his team partner, Norwegian Mads Ostberg while Welsh Elfyn Evans (Ford Fiesta) ended third on Sunday, reports Xinhua. Meeke snapped the streak of French driver Sebastien Ogier (Volkswagen Polo), current two-time WRC champion and five-time winner of Rally Argentina. Ogier, who had won the previous three rounds of WRC in Monte Carlo, Sweden and Mexico, lost the opportunity to win here after he quit the race on Friday due to an engine problem....

When he’s not dunking all over fools, Porzingis is making a big statement by dropping game-winning buckets that don’t actually count. It really doesn’t matter that the shot was waved off, what matters is this Latvian kid has the clutch gene. So much clutch.

There’s nothing wrong with that, because it’s grounded in truth; Bryant’s public image, sometime in the early 2000s, became a duality. Brutalizing teammates, unapologetically avoiding close relationships with opponents, general hard-assery — that was as much a part of his persona as winning rings and scoring high-difficulty points in high volumes.

So, when Phil Jackson joined FOX Sports Live for a segments on 1 on 1 matchups, he was bound to get the Kobe vs. MJ question. In describing why he would take Jordan over Bryant, Jackson dropped a jewel that sounds like such a Bryant move. In the 1999 season, on Jackson's suggestion, Jordan went into the Lakers locker room to speak with Bryant. Jackson figured it would be helpful to have Jordan speak with Kobe, a budding star at the time....

However, after the Koch Media purchased Volition for $22.3 million, the likelihood of that scheduling was called into question. Thankfully, Koch Media CEO Klemens Kundratitz has stepped in to clear up any confusion. Speaking with Games Industry, Kundratitz revealed that THQ’s 2013 plans for Metro and Saints Row have now transitioned into Deep Silver’s plans. More specifically, he says he has “no doubt” that Metro: Last Light and Saints Row 4 will launch this year....

The English top flight is suffering from increasing numbers of people buying set-top boxes that have software installed allowing them to watch games without paying a subscription to official rights holders. These boxes often run the legal Kodi media player and are then loaded with third-party add-ons that provide users with access to the illegal streams, as well as pirated films and TV shows.

Koepka was playing in his first tournament since October, when he aggravated a knee injury, and the four-time major winner was able to quickly find his rhythm in the United Arab Emirates. Having started with a birdie at the 10th, Koepka was four under at the turn before making further gains at the second and third. The American was unable to pick up further strokes on his final six holes, though, and he ended the day two adrift of co-leaders Shaun Norris and Renato Paratore, both of whom shot eight-under 64s....

After last year’s draft, Big E was separated from Kofi and Xavier Woods as he was left on SmackDown while the other two were drafted to RAW.

After four years of refinement, are the Kokoon sleep tracking headphones worth the £315/$320 price tag? We’ve spent a lot of time with the headphones, and here’s what we think. Pricing and availability That may sound like a lot of money – and it is, don’t get us wrong – but it’s actually cheaper than other EEG-enabled sleep trackers like the Dreem 2 headband while also offering headphone functionality, improving the value for money overall....

Time – 4.00 p.m (IST) Kings XI Punjab began this season with a commanding win over Pune Warriors, but lost the plot as they lost two games in a row.

Although Young is without two arms, the man is a hardcore fan of video games, as he continues to partake in the medium.
