BURNLEY, England, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Manchester United needed two stoppage-time goals from Scott McTominay to secure a dramatic 2-1 win over Brentford as Tottenham Hotspur went top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory at Luton Town on Saturday. Boos rang around Old Trafford at halftime as United went into the break trailing Brentford, staring down the barrel of a seventh defeat this season in all competitions. Substitute McTominay rattled home the equaliser after a goalmouth scramble in the 93rd minute and he was not done yet. Trailing with 92:46 on the clock, this was the latest United had been behind in a Premier League game in which they came back to win. Spurs have registered 20 points from their opening eight Premier League games this season and only in 1960-61 have they done so in fewer matches to begin a top-flight campaign.

Aug 14 (Reuters) - Winger Jack Harrison has joined Everton on a season-long loan from Leeds United, both clubs said on Monday. Harrison joined Leeds on loan from Manchester City in 2018 before the deal was made permanent in July 2021, making 206 appearances for the Yorkshire club and netting 34 goals. He will now continue his rehabilitation from a minor hip injury before being available for Sean Dyche's squad," Everton said in a statement. The left winger becomes Everton's fourth signing of the close season following the arrival of forward Arnaut Danjuma, defender Ashley Young and striker Youssef Chermiti. Everton, who just avoided relegation last season, kicked off their Premier League campaign with a loss to Fulham on Saturday.

▼ + stars: | 2023-04-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Jesus, starting a league game for the first time since returning from a knee injury last month, converted a 35th-minute penalty after being clipped in the box by Luke Ayling. Ben White doubled Arsenal's advantage from Gabriel Martinelli's pass before Brazilian Jesus, signed from Manchester City last summer, struck again from close range in the 55th minute from Leandro Trossard's assist. Leeds had troubled Arsenal in the opening period but once Jesus put the hosts ahead it was relatively plain sailing as they restored their eight-point lead over champions Man City. The most important thing is that everyone that has come in has played good," Jesus said. His persistence and trickery earned Arsenal a nerve-settling penalty on Saturday as he jinked into the box and Ayling, rather unluckily, conceded the spot kick as Jesus tumbled.

Leicester have 25 points with Nottingham Forest, Everton and Leeds all on 26 and Wolves and Crystal Palace on 27. Tottenham substitute Pape Sarr was then adjudged in the 90th minute to have fouled Ainsley Maitland-Niles as he attempted to hack clear a bouncing ball and Ward-Prowse made no mistake to earn his side a point. Leeds will head into the international break above the relegation zone thanks to a superb display at Wolves.

Jack Harrison says he never would have lived in downtown Colorado Springs when he first moved to the city in 1993. But after moving away and living in California for 11 years, Mr. Harrison, who started his own private equity and venture capital business, moved back to Colorado Springs in 2020. In June, he bought a 2,700-square-foot loft in a four-story building in downtown Colorado Springs for $925,000. “I felt comfortable buying in downtown because it’s changed so significantly,” says Mr. Harrison, 67. He says there are 12 coffee shops within a few blocks of his home and he sees a lot of California and Texas license plates on cars now.
