Why Erling Haaland recreated infamous Paolo Di Canio push for goal celebration

Image
Erling Haaland scored his seventh Premier League goal of the season on Saturday as Manchester City came from behind to beat West Ham at the London Stadium. The Norwegian, seeking to break his own record for Premier League goals in a single season that he set at 36 in 2022/23, netted City’s late third to seal the 3-1 turnaround. But it was a bizarre celebration from Haaland, which saw him rope in teammate Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese jokingly pushed his striker, who went tumbling to the ground in a chain of events reminiscent of when Paolo Di Canio shoved referee Paul Alcock during a game in 1998. Di Canio was playing for Sheffield Wednesday against Arsenal at the time and had been shown a red card by the official, a decision he took exception to. Before leaving the pitch, the Italian forward pushed the referee to the ground.

Hunter Biden's indictment stopped at gun charges. But more may be coming

Image
With prosecutors continuing to scrutinize Hunter Biden's finances and business deals, the gun charges levelled against him might be just part of his legal troubles. The indictment of Hunter Biden on Thursday made one thing all but certain: President Joe Biden will embark on a 2024 reelection bid dogged once again by his son's tumultuous Business and personal life. The younger Biden is facing felony charges related to false statements in purchasing a firearm, and a third count of illegally obtaining a firearm while addicted to drugs. But with prosecutors continuing to scrutinize his overseas Business deals and financial records, the gun charges might soon be just one thread in a potential web of legal troubles. In June, Hunter Biden struck a plea agreement with prosecutors that would have allowed him to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax offenses -- before the deal fell apart during a court hearing in July after U.S. Judge Maryellen Noreika expressed concern over the
