The lake’s water levels are at the lowest they’ve been since 1937, and hurtling towards dead pool level. And as it continues to dry up, dark secrets are being revealed. Since May, four sets of human remains have been discovered inside the lake....

The Lakers and coach Luke Walton parted ways Friday after a 37-45 season. Even before Walton’s departure, former Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue emerged as a frontrunner to take the post. But Williams is also a contender, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The 47-year-old Williams has extensive NBA coaching and front office experience. He compiled a 173-221 mark as head coach with New Orleans before being fired in 2015. He then served a season as associate head coach for the Thunder and spent a couple of years in the Spurs’ front office before joining the 76ers in 2018-19....

Having seen Barcelona lose their opening game of the season to Athletic Bilbao on Friday, Los Blancos went all out against Celta Vigo. Zidane named a side containing most of his lieutenants from last season, with marquee signing Eden Hazard ruled out through injury.

Costa had a largely successful spell at Chelsea, and after a messy transfer affair involving a text message (no thanks to Antonio Conte’s fast fingers), Costa arrived once again on the shores of the Iberian peninsula in January 2018, rekindling his professional relationship with his former manager Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid. It was a relationship that ended abruptly in 2014 due to the whims of money-men and agents....
The pair’s frosty relationship plumbed new depths last week when the RFEF urged Tebas to resign following a setback in his bid to stage a LaLiga match in the United States. A Madrid court ruled the league could not take the December fixture between Villarreal and Atletico Madrid to Miami without permission from the RFEF, which opposes the idea. The RFEF released a statement indicating such a move could put the clubs “at risk” of UEFA and FIFA sanctions and called for Tebas’ “immediate dismissal” or resignation....
Former Villareal youngster Denis Suarez triggered the onslaught just after the half-hour mark, before the famed ‘MSN’ triumvirate bagged a goal each to round off a convincing outing for Luis Enrique’s men.

Here are the major talking points from the game....
The referee overturned the decision and awarded a penalty to Real Madrid. Karim Benzema stepped forward to take the spot-kick and converted it with such ease. The game was wide open and Levante took full charge of the situation. Roger Marti made full use of Antonio Luna’s excellent delivery to find the back of the net and equalize the score in the second half. The lead lasted for just 18 minutes after Casemiro felt minimal contact which was enough to warrant a penalty....

Unai Emery’s side turned on the style on the banks of the River Thames, recording their biggest win of the season as the resurgent Gunners moved into the Premier League’s top four. Lacazette was at the centre of Arsenal’s powerful show at Craven Cottage, with his superb second-half strike restoring their lead after Andre Schurrle had cancelled out his opener. Ramsey’s audacious back-heeled goal put Arsenal in complete control to cap a stunning move that recalled the club’s finest days under Emery’s predecessor Arsene Wenger....
The talented Indian, who has three Asian Tour wins under his belt, got off to a flying start by grabbing a share of the first round clubhouse lead last year. A ‘mismanagement of apparel’, however, saw him miss the cut when he followed up his brilliant 66 with a 81. “On the second day, I started out when it was cold and then the sun came out and I got sweaty and warm around the fourth or fifth hole,” recalled Lahiri....
