UEFA on Monday ordered the partial closure of Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium for their Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Manchester City on Wednesday over the "discriminatory behaviour" of their supporters.

Kevin De Bruyne's 70th minute goal earned City a 1-0 win at home in the first leg last Tuesday, after which the Spanish side were charged, with the offences of their fans including throwing of objects.

The Appeals Body of European soccer's governing body said it had ordered a partial closure of Atletico's stadium in the next UEFA competition match they host.

"Club Atletico de Madrid shall inform prior to the match, the sector(s) to be closed, which shall at least comprehend 5,000 seats," UEFA said in a statement.

It also ordered Atletico to display a banner with the wording "#NoToRacism" and the UEFA logo on it.

Manchester City just about managed to maintain the upper hand in the Premier League title race after an electrifying 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium in Sunday's top-of-the-table clash against rivals Liverpool -- but it could have all been so different.

Hearts were in mouths at one point when City goalkeeper Ederson almost succumbed to a costly gaffe when his attempt to coolly play out from the back came within inches of backfiring on him.

With Liverpool forward Diogo Jota bearing down on him at pace, Ederson took a heavy touch under pressure and almost steered the ball across his own goal line, only to sidefoot the ball clear to a teammate in the nick of time.

Despite his hair-raising brush with calamity, the Brazil international was able to make light of the incident in the aftermath as he posted a still image of his goal-line clearance along with a thumbs-up emoji.

Several fellow players cropped up in the comments section, with City full-back Joao Cancelo commending his teammate for his "coldness" while former City No. 1 Joe Hart also added a couple of hand clap emojis in a show of solidarity with his successor at the Etihad.

Real Madrid star and compatriot Vinicius Junior exclaimed that watching Ederson's clearance made him "very nervous," Tottenham Hotspur Brazilian defender Emerson admitted that he "got scared" and Wolves right-back Nelson Semedo sarcastically joked that there was "no tension" in the moment.

Ederson's may well prove to be a pivotal moment in the 2021-22 title race in much the same way as John Stones' remarkable goal-line clearance in a clash between the two sides back January 2019.

On that occasion, the City defender cleared a goal-bound effort with just 11 millimetres to spare before his side won the game 2-1 and went on to pip Liverpool to the 2018-19 title by a single point.

Thankfully for City, Ederson was able to repeat history by narrowly evading Jota's outstretched boot at close quarters, maintaining City's one-point lead at the summit with seven games remaining this season.

The two title rivals may have already played each other twice in the league this season, but they will clash again this weekend when they meet on Saturday in the FA Cup semifinals at Wembley (stream LIVE at 10:30 a.m. ET on ESPN+ in the U.S.)

Bangladesh's captain Mominul Haque has admitted that his team has been out of sorts ever since the first innings of the Durban Test, which the visitors lost by 220 runs. Bangladesh's poor form with the bat continued into the second Test as well, as they were bowled out for 80 in the fourth innings in Gqeberha, their second sub-100 score in the series. For the second straight game, Bangladesh capitulated against spin, losing all 10 of their wickets to Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer.

"There's only one explanation: we batted poorly," Mominul said. "We couldn't play team-wise. After batting well in the first innings in Durban, we couldn't repeat it again in the Test series. Batting by session, batting for time, these things went missing. You have to play well in every session. We have to improve a lot. We are not the No. 1 team in the world. But we are still at the same place before the (Mt Maunganui) win."

Mominul claimed that Bangladesh don't play spin well, even though it is quite well known that the players are born and bred in spinning tracks. The only difference between the pitches in Bangladesh and those in South Africa during this series was the bounce.

"Everyone knows we don't play spin well, except one or two of us. We have to improve our square-of-the-wicket shots. (Yasir Ali) Rabbi and I shouldn't have tried to play those shots over the top. It would have been better had we tried to play it square of the wicket. The better option was to play it along the ground.

"There is a fundamental difference between wickets here and the sub-continent. In our conditions, one can use sidespin. Here, it doesn't really work. Here, overspin is useful. Our bowlers are more used to sidespin. One has to go through a lot of technical changes for overspin. There's also the difference between domestic and international level."

Mominul said that Bangladesh couldn't afford to play with five bowlers, mainly because they usually want to have seven batters in their line-up at all times.

"Do we ever play with five bowlers? It is tough for us to play five bowlers. Our batting gets weakened. We are a lower-ranked team. We are not the No. 1 team in the world. When we can be a No. 4 or 5 ranked team, we can play with five bowlers. I think this is logical."

Naseem Shah
A young, tearaway Pakistan quick signing up for a full season at an English county to hone his skills and learn the craft? Naseem Shah at Gloucestershire has a very 1990s feel about it. He's arriving at a good moment in his career, off the back of being, arguably, Pakistan's best bowler in the Tests against Australia. But a shoulder injury in his first county outing restricted him to just 11 overs in the game (and none in the second innings), a reminder that for all the excitement, young fast bowlers remain fragile things. His best contribution was, in fact, with the bat, an 80-run partnership with James Bracey in the first innings keeping Gloucestershire in the game.

Scottie Scheffler won the Masters going away and is the No. 1-ranked player in the world, but he's not the favorite at sportsbooks to win golf's next major.

Jon Rahm opened as the favorite to win the PGA Championship at 11-1 at Caesars Sportsbook. Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are next at 12-1, followed by Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas, who are each 14-1.

Scheffler cruised to a three-stroke victory at the Masters on Sunday, even with a four-putt double bogey on No. 18. He's won three of the last five tournaments he's entered.

Rahm finished at 4-over par, tied for 27th at the Masters.

Tiger Woods opened at 40-1 to win the PGA Championship at Caesars, although some sportsbooks have him listed as long as 80-1. In his first official tournament back since suffering serious injuries in a car accident in February 2021, Woods made the cut at the Masters, but struggled over the weekend, posting consecutive rounds of 78 and finishing at 13-over.

Woods said he is considering playing in the PGA Championship, which will be held in mid-May at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Defending PGA champion Phil Mickelson, who did not play the Masters, opened at 100-1 to repeat at Caesars Sportsbook.

Ohio State will honor former quarterback Dwayne Haskins at Saturday's spring game, as the football program grieves the loss of a record-setting player who coach Ryan Day said brought compassion and excellence to the locker room.

Haskins, 24, died Saturday morning after being struck by a dump truck while walking on a South Florida highway. He had been training in the area with other Pittsburgh Steelers players.

Haskins played for Ohio State from 2016 to 2018, becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist in his final season while setting Big Ten records for passing yards (4,831), touchdown passes (50) and total offensive yards (4,939). He then became the first Ohio State quarterback drafted in the first round of the NFL draft since 1982.

"He was 11 years old, walking through this facility and said that, 'This is what I'm going to do,' and then did it," said Day, who served as Ohio State's offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and interim head coach during Haskins' final two seasons with the program. "That's the legacy he's going to leave behind: You can set a dream and goal and achieve it, and then broke a lot of records that year in 2018. He set a dream and he chased it and he did it."

Day said plans to honor Haskins, both at Saturday's spring game and in the future, are still being finalized and will be announced later.

"Buckeye nation meant a lot to Dwayne," Day said. "Having everybody there on Saturday is significant. And we'll make sure we do things the right way and then moving forward, we just want to make sure we do it the right way and think it through."

Haskins maintained close relationships with players, coaches and others in and around Ohio State's program, including Day's son, RJ Day, who said Haskins took RJ to a high school football game and was "like a big brother" to him.

"We were in the car the other day, up at a little camp that [RJ] went to and we were driving back and trying to wrap our minds around it, and I didn't really have anything good to tell him, really," Day said. "I couldn't quite understand what to think of it all. It just very confusing, sad, but it makes you hug your loved ones a little bit more and just understand how fragile life is.

"But something like this is difficult to explain."

Day said he will miss Haskins' calm and confident demeanor before games, as he would often ease Day's nerves. Haskins brought a compassionate approach to those around him and a smile that his teammates and coaches will never forget.

His breakout season in 2018 under Day's tutelage factored into Day succeeding Urban Meyer as head coach.

"I don't think any of us would be here, and the program would be where it is, without Dwayne in the way that it all happened," Day said. "That's life. There are certain moments, defining moments in your career and your life, where things can go one way or the other. In that moment, Dwayne was there and the way everything shook out during that season, we're here now, and he was a major part of that."

Day had spoken with Haskins about a "restart" to his career with the Steelers, and thought the team was the perfect place for the quarterback to grow and develop. Although Haskins left Ohio State in early 2019, he remained in contact with many people in the program, including some players.

"I'm 44 years old now, and I don't know how to feel," Day said. "Certainly if you're 18, 19, 20 years old, you're just having a hard time with it all, confusing. You try to lean on each other the best you can. What you can't do is do something or say something you think is going to make it all better. It's not going to happen. You have to go through the process."

We meet a young thrower who is making up for lost time and refusing to let being deaf stand in the way of her progress

It hasn’t been your average journey into hammer throwing for Charlotte Payne, but she is not your average athlete. The 19-year-old is profoundly deaf but has never let this define her or stop her from pursuing her dreams.

In 2020 she was selected for the European Throws Cup but lockdown instead saw her training in farming fields with hand-me-down weights. Her hard work paid off and in 2021 she captained Britain at the European Under-20 Championships in Tallinn, where she finished fourth with a throw of 62.13m.

She was named as part of the British Athletics Futures programme in December and now has her sights set on the Commonwealth Games. Just a couple of months ago she recorded a PB of 66.74m and then finished a fine third in the European Throwing Cup in Portugal.

How did you get into athletics?

My parents encouraged me to try different sports growing up. I have an older brother so inevitably I ended up trying the sports he chose. You name it, we did it. We tried athletics when I was six, where I started with sprints and long jump but was not a natural runner. I have vivid memories of crying the entire 600m race. I loved chucking the Vortex [training device] so it seemed throwing was my calling.

We started throwing with shot put and discus and eventually hammer. I had my first competition in 2013, aged 11, at the Berkshire Championships. My coach told my parents I should enter to gain experience but I won with a Championships record. That was the moment I realised I’d found my event.

What have the last few years been like for you?

A rollercoaster. I was selected for the European Throws Cup in 2020 and was set to celebrate my 18th birthday representing GB in Portugal. Then suddenly the pandemic hit, and the trip was cancelled with a week to go. I then set my sights on the World Championships in Nairobi which was also cancelled.

Things picked up in 2021 when I was selected for the European U20 Championships in Tallinn and was honoured with being named captain. I came fourth and was so pleased. In December, I was selected for the British Athletics Olympic Futures Programme. The guidance from the practitioners is so valuable and has totally changed my training.

What was your highlight of 2021?

Coming fourth at the European U20 Championships was a huge reward after a turbulent winter. Being team captain really pushed me out of my comfort zone. When I was first diagnosed with hearing loss, doctors told my parents I would never speak properly. Fast forward 15 years and I was giving speeches to the GB team. It’s proved that I mustn’t let others decide my future.

How has it been navigating a career as a deaf athlete?

I’ve never let my deafness define me. At school, I was never the “deaf girl”, I was the “athletics girl”. It’s always been my throwing that has taken centre stage. Until last year, few people within athletics knew about my deafness as I was always private about it.

Throughout the pandemic I’ve felt very isolated because of masks so having a group of people who understand and make things accessible for me is so refreshing. The past year has taught me about advocacy and how I need to tell people what I need to access – and that doesn’t make me weak.

What are your hopes for 2022?

The Commonwealth Games. The quality of hammer throwing in the UK is insane so there’s tough competition. Most of my family come from Birmingham, so it would mean a lot to them, too. 

What is the ultimate goal?

The Olympics is at the top. I’m also determined to break the British record (74.54m by Sophie Hitchon). Being the best British female hammer thrower in history would be pretty cool. When I was younger, my parents were led to believe I wouldn’t achieve much due to my deafness and there are so many deaf people and their families being told the same thing. Instead of being told what you can’t do, I want to show what you can do.

Wasps have signed fly-half Will Haydon-Wood from Premiership rivals Newcastle Falcons for the 2022-23 campaign.

An England Under-20 international, Haydon-Wood made his Premiership debut against Exeter Chiefs in May 2021.

"We have been wanting to add another fly-half to the squad to complement Charlie Atkinson and Jacob Umaga," said Wasps head coach Lee Blackett.

"He's impressed since breaking through as a starter for Newcastle this season, which is why we're delighted to have beaten other Premiership clubs to securing his signature for next season."

Details of Haydon-Wood's contract with Wasps have not been disclosed.

"Wasps have a very talented playing squad, and I'm looking forward to being part of it next season," he said.
