The two sides met at City’s Etihad Stadium on Sunday with both teams eager to strike first in this year’s title race. Just before half-time, Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard committed a foul before kicking the ball across the pitch, earning a controversial second yellow card. Matt West/ShutterstockAfter being reduced to 10 players, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta adopted a highly defensive shape to try and protect the lead. “I think the win belongs to the players and for our fans,” Fonseca said after the game. A chaotic first half saw visiting Wolfsburg take a 3-2 lead before Piero Hincapié leveled things up shortly after half-time.

Go beyond financial literacy"Gone are the days that we can hide behind the illusion that more financial literacy is enough," says Rahkim Sabree, AFC, financial therapist and counselor. Currently, 25 states require financial literacy education for students; however, rarely, if ever, does financial literacy address larger systemic issues that exist. Black students owe an average of 188% more than what white students borrowed by the fourth year after graduation. One 2016 study found that if current trends continue, closing the wealth gap would take more than 200 years.

Some Tesla superfans who bought it are saying the bottles are rusty and it tastes like "hot garbage." AdvertisementSome Tesla superfans aren't thrilled with Tesla's new CyberBeer — and they're taking to social media to air their grievances. "Tesla Cyberbeer is hot garbage," one person complained in a post on X on Tuesday. "Why does the Tesla CyberBeer feel like something I'm gonna get alcohol poisoning from?" And the unboxing experience was "premium" for the CyberBeer, Judkins said, noting that the two CyberSteins help make the "$150 price tag easier to swallow."

☆ When art and money meet

I’ve often thought that if one was looking for niche curses to place on enemies, “May you be profiled by Patrick Radden Keefe” would be a particularly potent option. Amid such company, Larry Gagosian, the global art-market king who is the subject of Radden Keefe’s latest profile, gets off relatively lightly. I was reminded of one of my favorite exhibitions of all time, “The Steins Collect,” which I saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a decade ago. Regular readers will know that I like biographies about artists, so you might have expected the Gagosian profile to send me reaching for more of those. (I wonder what Lewis, who studied art history as a Princeton undergraduate before going into finance and then journalism, would make of Gagosian.)
