The Colombian striker, who was written off by many on the back of two frustrating loan spells at Manchester United and Chelsea, has been rejuvenated in the last 18 months. Lyon 14/1 to beat PSG His efforts in 2016-17 helped Monaco to the Ligue 1 title, and he has picked up where he left off this term despite losing attacking partner Kylian Mbappe to Paris Saint-Germain. Falcao already has nine efforts to his name to lead the French top-flight scoring charts, with that return coming from just 10 shots on target....

The 6-9 Falcons will miss the playoffs for the second straight campaign and will end this season with a losing record, regardless of whether they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. That had led to speculation about the futures of fifth-year head coach Quinn and GM Dimitroff, yet both men will retain their positions for 2020. Quinn led Atlanta to Super Bowl LI in his second season only for the Falcons to squander a 28-3 lead against the New England Patriots, who won in overtime in Houston....

Losing Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram for several hours on Monday was inconvenient, damaging to businesses, and in some cases, almost catastrophic. According to Facebook, it was all due to configuration changes to its network coordinating routers. It’s a reasonable explanation, but the fact that a single error like that could bring not just Facebook but other Facebook-owned systems grinding to a halt is a bit alarming. One wrong router config change caused multiple services, and even VR headsets, to stop working entirely....

The Claim In his closing campaign speech on Monday, Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate in Virginia’s gubernatorial election that is widely expected to be very tight, claimed that former President Donald Trump was set to join his opponent, Republican Glenn Youngkin, at a campaign event. “Guess how Glenn Youngkin is finishing his campaign?” McAuliffe told a crowd of supporters at his final rally, held in Fairfax, Virginia. “He is doing an event with Donald Trump here in Virginia....

The Claim: “Joe Biden said twice in the debate last week that he was gonna repeal the Trump tax cuts,” Pence said during his debate with Harris. “America, you just heard Senator Harris tell you,” he later added. “On day one, Joe Biden’s going to raise your taxes.” The Facts: Harris had said that Biden would “repeal” and “get rid of” Trump’s tax bill during her debate with Pence, while insisting that the president’s plan was based on “benefiting the top 1 percent and the biggest corporations of America” and had led to a $2 trillion deficit....

But she fails to impress him with a performance of a Billy Joel classic. The Claim Princess Diana dances on stage to Uptown Girl during one of the more astonishing moments in The Crown, but did it really happen?

Huckabee claimed that a speech in which he implored the state Legislature to raise taxes was in response to a state Supreme Court order to increase education funding. But he specifically said in that speech that he would address the education matter at a later date. He said a tax on beds filled in nursing homes was a “fee” not a tax, despite the fact that he himself has called it the “bed tax....

The ad, by challenger Joe Cimperman, says that under Kucinich’s watch, “we’ve lost 38,000 jobs.” That’s the decline in employment figures for an Ohio county, part of which Kucinich serves. But we’re sure that one congressman doesn’t bear the sole responsibility for such job losses. The ad says Kucinich “passed only one bill” in Congress, a claim based on the fact that he was the lead sponsor on only one bill that was signed into law....

McBride, who was captain of League of Ireland club Derry City, was found dead at his home in Derry on Sunday evening just a day after leading the club to victory over Drogheda United. His passing has sent shockwaves through the Irish football community, prompting an outpouring of grief and the FAI has indicated that he will receive a tribute at the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Wales on Friday....

Kirk Cousins drove the team down the field, setting up Dustin Hopkins for a 52-yard field goal to send the game into overtime tied 19-19. MORE: NFL Sunday scoreboard | Must-see action photos from Week 5 But then “it” happened, as it always does.

After the success of SAO’s Alicization arc, the next logical move was to adapt the currently running novel series, SAO: Progressive, a retelling of the original Aincrad arc by Reki Kawahara, to do the story again, but better. The first film, Aria of a Starless Night, was a humble start that focused on Asuna’s perspective, but the next film, Scherzo of Deep Night, looks like a true breath of fresh air....
