Mathys Tel rescues Bayern Munich with late winner over Borussia Mönchengladbach

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:11:12 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich substitute Mathys Tel scored late for the Bundesliga champion to come from behind and beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 on Saturday.It’s Bayern’s first league win over its old rival at the fifth attempt.Tel headed Joshua Kimmich’s corner in the 87th minute, six minutes after he went on for Leon Goretzka, to maintain Bayern’s winning start to the league. But the visitors had to fight for it.Japan defender Ko Itakura opened the scoring for Gladbach in the 30th when he lobbed a header over Sven Ulreich in the Bayern goal after Maximilian Wöber headed on Alassane Plea’s corner.Bayern had more possession, more shots and more corners. But Gerardo Seoane’s team defended doggedly and Bayern lacked that final cutting edge to break through. Leroy Sané went closest when he grazed the crossbar, but Marvin Friedrich also struck the crossbar for Gladbach a few minutes before the goal.Bayern increased its pressure after the break, when Itakura made a goal-line block and...

Howie Carr: Let’s set up Bidenvilles in posh Martha’s Vineyard, maybe Nantucket and Naushon Island, too

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:11:12 GMT

I have a modest proposal.Now that Labor Day is here and the Beautiful People will be flying back to New York in their private Gulfstreams and Lear Jets, let’s round up all the illegal aliens and ship them over to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and Naushon Island makes three.Plenty of room over there for the winter, and not just in the $20 million oceanfront mansions and swank resorts. How about new tent cities on all the conservation land and private golf courses?The undocumented Democrats could set up Bidenvilles in the posh boatyards. Their welfare grub could be delivered by all those world-class restaurants — the Chanticleer, the Wauwinet and the White Elephant, just to name three on Nantucket.After Monday, the islands will be basically empty. Sure they’re zoned NHP — No Hoi Polloi, hoi polloi being defined as anyone who goes to church on Sunday and/or doesn’t have a trust fund.But this is an emergency, dammit. Gov. Maura Healey called out the National Guard Thursday to make su...
