Sanogo joined Arsenal from Auxerre on free transfer amid significant hype in 2013 after scoring 10 goals in Ligue 2 as a 20-year-old, but made just 20 competitive appearances in his time at Emirates Stadium, scoring only one goal. The majority of those appearances came in his debut season for the Gunners, including action in Arsenal’s 2014 FA Cup final victory. However, Sanogo found playing time with the club sparse after that campaign....

Mou: Ibra will fight for career Huth’s own goal in the 86th minute gave the Gunners a 1-0 victory, marking their Premier League-leading 29th goal scored after the hour mark this season. Wednesday’s late goal was a crucial one, earning Arsenal three much-needed points in their race to finish in the top four this season. While the late drama makes for some entertaining viewing, it’s a safe bet that fans of the north London club would rather see their side put matches away with a little more time to spare....

Kroenke has found himself in the firing line following Arsenal’s presence in the troubled Super League, which was launched and then quickly collapsed this week. The American billionaire continues to receive criticism over his role in the proposed competition, which drew outrage from all over the football world. “Kroenke Out” In response to the aborted breakaway, supporters chose the build-up to Arsenal’s meeting with Everton to register their discontent. “Kroenke, get out of our club, we are The Arsenal - not a franchise,” read one banner hung outside the Emirates, while another proclaimed that “It’s time to go!...

The Gunners made a slow start in the FA Cup quarter-final clash, but found their stride in the second half to record a dominant win over non-league opposition. Arsenal too strong for non-league Lincoln Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey were all on target, while Lincoln’s woes were compounded by an own goal from Luke Waterfall. And in overcoming their rivals, Arsene Wenger’s men brought up the double century at their home ground....

Arsene Wenger has secured a place at European football’s top table in each of his 19 full seasons in charge in north London, but the Gunners find themselves outside the top four ahead of their 38th match of the 2016-17 campaign against Everton. Leaving Arsenal was best - Szczesny Arsenal must win to have any chance of pipping Manchester City to a qualification spot and though they could rise above Liverpool with a draw, it is incredibly unlikely....

Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka were the scorers in that overpowering first half during which the home side played with energy and desire, winning the battles in every zone of the field. The Arsenal back line was solid, the goalkeeping was surehanded, the midfield’s transition passing was crisp and the forwards were dynamic with their runs. All three goals were similar in the quickness and ruthlessness of the sweeping attacking moves....

Artnet reported that Avelina Lésper was covering the fair Saturday when she finished her beverage and placed it on a hanging sculpture entitled Nimble and Sinister Tricks (To Be Preserved Without Scandal and Corruption) by artist Gabriel Rico. The piece consisted of a glass pane with a soccer ball, a feather, a knife and other objects embedded in it. Lésper was less than impressed with Rico’s work. Instead of tossing her soda can in the trash bin, she put it on one of the stones in the pane of glass as a comment on the piece....

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ARTS EXTRA: IRAN’S NEWEST WAVE TWO BOLD FILMS PROVE THAT ONE OF THE WORLD’S FERTILE GROUNDS FOR CINEMA IS MOVING FORWARD BY MICHAEL J. AGOVINO “The Day I Became a Woman,” a new film by Iranian director Marziyeh Meshkini, begins with a simple, and familiar, premise: a child embarks on a journey of discovery. In this rendering, a young girl has one hour before her ninth birthday, the age at which she’s required to wear the chador, the loose head-to-toe covering, outside the home....

Here’s what “Committed to the Image” prompted in me: What’s right about the show “Committed to the Image” features two works apiece by 94 photographers ranging in age from 25 to 88, who work in everything from straight black-and-white reportage to large-format color pictures to digitally manipulated images. It gives a whole passel of very deserving photographers long-overdue exposure on an art-world center stage. It provides the BMA with a way to connect more closely with the African-Americans in its audience (Brooklyn is 41 percent black)....

The answer, as applicable as much in business as in everyday life, was in long-term planning. Many years of preparations had allowed Barcelona to build their great team in the first place, with youngsters brought through in the academy at La Masia and a playing style honed to perfection from the youth sides to the first team at Camp Nou. Real Madrid 9/2 to win Champions League If Madrid were to wrestle back the power from Barca, they would need to do something similar and, five years on from Guardiola’s exit, it is Los Blancos who are sitting in a privileged position....

The Swiss city first hosted U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in 1955, and then Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev 30 years later. Both times, the two countries made progress in defusing tensions. With the current relationship between the superpowers at its lowest, this meeting will be a crucial step in moving forward. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. This time, hopes loom for even a modest improvement on the current U....

Hong Kong’s authorities prohibited gatherings citing coronavirus restrictions, but police did little to stop crowds pouring into Victoria Park, which for three decades has been the epicenter of commemorations of Beijing’s move against a pro-democracy movement. On Thursday there was a minute’s silence, followed by shouts of pro-democracy slogans including “Stand with Hong Kong” and “End one-party rule,” referring to China’s Communist Party. Earlier, Hong Kong lawmakers had approved a bill making it a crime to insult China’s national anthem and two legislators were taken away after they threw a liquid onto the chamber floor, the BBC reported....

Former presidents often have predictable retirements—a presidential library, a charitable foundation, publishing memoirs, making after-dinner speeches. The 45th president faces a range of different options, not all of them good. Almost as soon as it was clear Biden had won the 2020 election, speculation began about Trump running again in 2024. He’s raised at least $207 million since the election, though the exact amount won’t be known until FEC filings on January 31....

Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Thursday that after a hand recount President-elect Biden remained ahead of President Donald Trump. After the news broke, Democrat Jon Ossoff, who is running against Sen. David Perdue, called upon his party to focus on boosting him and Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is challenging Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA). “Our work isn’t done, Georgia,” he tweeted, alongside a report on Biden’s win in the state....

Laura, the 12th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to hit Louisiana early Monday morning as a major hurricane. In the last 24 hours, the storm’s wind speeds intensified to 46 miles-per-hour with no signs of slowing down, while satellite images showed it’s now a “formidable hurricane,” according to the NHC. When NASA’s Terra satellite and NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the storm early Tuesday morning, it was about to move into the Gulf of Mexico and showed the most powerful thunderstorms were around the storm’s center....

Biden’s overall approval rating has also fallen in the latest poll and now stands at 46 percent, down from 49 percent in a Quinnipiac poll in May. The president’s approval has also declined in other polling after seven months in the White House. The survey was conducted between July 27 and August 2 and asked respondents if they thought the president would run again, with 54 percent saying he wouldn’t seek a second term....

To the surprise of no one, those questions center around Donald Trump. Will he run again? Has that become a ridiculous question as his term whimpers to a riot-torn, ignominious end? If he is not the Republican nominee, will he weigh heavily in the voters’ choice as to who is? And will there be appetite for a Trump-like nominee, or will tastes evolve in a different direction? One easy mistake would be to presume that Trump is such damaged goods that his base will seek to distance itself from him immediately and forever....

A March 2021 study by researchers at the RAND Corporation, a national think tank, looked at millions of health insurance claims and found that screenings for breast and colon cancer, two very common cancer screenings, dropped dramatically during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic. While they returned to near-normal levels by the end of July 2020, they still fall short of pre-pandemic levels, especially for colon cancer. Experts are concerned that people who missed appointments early in the pandemic still have not returned for their screenings and that some people continue to be fearful of receiving in-person health care....

Marcus Berg’s hat-trick and an Ahmed Khalil effort sealed the crucial win as they nicked their 13th league title in record time, after securing 50 points in 21 outings. The Ghana international who now plies his trade with Kayserispor in Turkey scored 95 goals in 85 appearances for the club in a four-year stint, before departing to Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai SIPG. During his time at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium outfit, he won three league title, one UAE President’s Cup and an Arabian Gulf Super Cup....
