Khalaf said a member of the security forces was among the injured, who had been hit by bullets, stones or glass. He said that both Kurds and Arabs were among the 12 who were injured. The curfew was imposed in the evening after rival protests -- between Kurdish residents on one side and Turkmen and Arabs on the other -- descended into violence despite a security presence.

It was another stylish victory for the 20-year-old Spaniard, who will face Italy's Matteo Arnaldi in the fourth round on Monday.

"It's the loudest moment I've heard in a stadium, happily it was for my goal," Bellingham told Real Madrid TV. "When they were singing 'Hey Jude' at the end, I got goosebumps.

Postecoglou's side bounced back after their disappointing midweek League Cup exit at Fulham to record a third successive Premier League victory. Lyle Foster's fourth-minute opener for Burnley could have sparked another Tottenham flop, but the north Londoners hit back in style thanks to Son's lethal finishing. The South Korea forward equalised in the 16th minute before Cristian Romero and James Maddison scored to put Tottenham in charge. Son netted twice in four minutes just after the hour for his first hat-trick since September 17 last year.

Cooper's metamorphosis into Bernstein was described as "eerily exact" by critics at the Venice Film Festival, while many said Carey Mulligan matched him beat-for-beat as Bernstein's wife Felicia. There has been some internet-driven controversy over the size of Cooper's prosthetic nose -- seen by some as perpetuating stereotypes about Jews. But Variety felt the "tempest-in-a-teapot" was misplaced and that the nose, already defended by Bernstein's family, "works terrifically well". "Maestro"... Читать дальше...

"It's a spectacular atmosphere, there's something new," Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters. "I think the fans pushed a lot today, it's a much more enclosed atmosphere.

But Chelsea's huge investment in the transfer market is still to reap reward as the Blues lost 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest. In keeping with the early weeks of the season, City were good enough for the three points without ever hitting top gear. "Every year is like this at this club. We start a bit late and a bit sloppy because we play right until the last game (of the season) because we are the best club," said Haaland. "We will only get better and better from here." The English champions... Читать дальше...

Boniface, who arrived from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer, opened the scoring with a superb solo effort, slicing through the Darmstadt defence before elegantly chipping the 'keeper.

Sean Dyche's side have endured a dismal start to the season, but a loss at promoted United would have been a new low for the Toffees. Everton were confronted with that unpalatable proposition when they trailed 2-1 at half-time. Abdoulaye Doucoure's opener was Everton's first league goal this season, but Cameron Archer equalised and Jordan Pickford's own goal put the Blades ahead. Danjuma, on a season-long loan from Villarreal, spared Everton's blushes but another grim battle to avoid relegation looks likely for Dyche's men. Читать дальше...
