MONACO -- ??? Monaco sealed first place in Group E of the Champions League with a 2-1 win over Tottenham in a thrilling display of attacking football on Tuesday.Needing just a draw against the only side to remain unbeaten in the Premier League to progress to the knockout phase, Monaco did not hold back. However, it took the hosts 48 minutes to break the deadlock with a goal from Djibril Sidibe, who then turned provider when Thomas Lemar scored the winner five minutes later.Harry Kane had equalized from the penalty spot for Spurs, which can no longer qualify for the knockout phase.We got ourselves back in the game at 1-1 and it was schoolboy to concede straight after that, Kane said. We had to try to grind out a win because we were not great tonight. The second goal took the stuffing out of us. I just dont think on the day we were good enough.Monaco went ahead when Sidibe, unmarked in the box, planted a powerful header into the net from Benjamin Mendys cross.Monaco could not hold on to its lead for long as a rare mistake from Kamil Glik, who dragged Dele Alli down in the area, resulted in a penalty. Kane converted it with a powerful spot-kick.But Spurs defensive inadequacies were exposed less than a minute after their equalizer. From the resulting kick-off, Sidibe burst down the right before crossing for Lemar. The highly-praised midfielder, who scored in the corresponding fixture in September at Wembley, restored Monacos advantage with a shot into the far corner.It was a great evening, Sidibe said. Were playing with a conquering mindset at the moment.It was a deserved win for Monaco, which was the better team for most of the game.In a lively start, Tottenham created the first dangerous move when Son Heung-min beat the offside trap on a swift counterattack but lost his one-on-one with Danijel Subasic. The South-Korean winger vainly tried to dribble the Monaco keeper and was forced wide.The hosts replied immediately through Fabinho, who made the most of a poor clearance to make his way into the box and was brought down by Eric Dier. Radamel Falcao, the Monaco captain, took the penalty -- only to see his low shot to the bottom corner superbly blocked by Hugo Lloriss diving save.With Kevin Wimmer replacing Jan Vertonghen in the heart of Tottenhams back four, Spurs struggled defensively and Monaco -- the highest-scoring side in Europes main domestic leagues -- gradually took control.With its midfielders often losing possession and committing a series of fouls as they tried to recover the ball, Tottenham failed to produce a single shot in goal during the opening 45 minutes.The French league side had another good chance when Mendy sent a cross-shot goalwards that Lloris parried away. Left unmarked in the area, Monaco striker Valere Germain tried his luck from the rebound but his header was too weak to surprise Lloris.Falcao and Sidibe then missed the target and Germain again came close after a pass from Bernardo Silva in midfield sent him through. The striker raced down the right flank and fired an angled low shot that ended just wide.Monaco created two more clear chances through Glik and Falcao after Lemar put the hosts back in front but Lloris ensured a nervy finale with some decisive saves. Custom Royals Jerseys . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. Wholesale Custom Royals Shirts . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. http://www.customroyalsjersey.com/ . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . Authentic Custom Royals Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. George Brett Jersey Large . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. AUBURN, Ala. -- Cornerback Josh Holsey remembers well the last time Auburn played Vanderbilt. It was 2012, and the Tigers were on their way to a winless Southeastern Conference season that culminated with the firing of coach Gene Chizik.No. 11 Auburn, now ranked ninth in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, appears headed in a very different direction heading into the rematch Saturday four years after that 17-14 defeat.I was on the field when we lost, the Tigers Holsey said. It kind of sucks. That was a very long trip back, too.We have to make sure I can come away at least 1-1 with those guys before I leave Auburn.Auburn (6-2, 4-1) has much higher stakes this time around against the Commodores (4-4, 1-3). The Tigers are riding a five-game winning streak that has put them in contention for the SEC West title and into the playoff mix.The Commodores (4-4, 1-3), who are coming off an open date, also have some momentum after wins over Georgia and Tennessee State. They havent won three games in a row or beaten a ranked team since 2013 and are 26-point underdogs in this one.Weve got our hands full, but weve had a chance to do some things ourselves, Vandy coach Derek Mason said. Definitely excited about whats happening.The game features the SECs top two rushers, Auburns Kamryn Pettway and Vandys Ralph Webb. Webb faces a defense that has allowed only four rushing touchdowns.---Some other things to watch in the Vanderbilt-Auburn game:FOCUSED IN: Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and players insist theres no danger of the Tigers overlooking Vandy while thinnking about the Georgia game or an Alabama showdown with potentially huge stakes.ddddddddddddThe Commodores have already upset Georgia.PETTWAYS STREAK: No running back in the country gained more than Pettways 199 yards per game in the month of October. The 6-foot, 240-pounder has averaged 32 carries in the last three games for the nations No. 3 running team. When you see (No.) 36 rolling down hill, that dudes a monster, Mason said.PROTECT THE BALL: Vanderbilt is tied for first in the SEC and 20th nationally in turnover margin at plus 6, forcing a combined 13 fumbles and interceptions. The Commodores have lost just seven with three fumbles and four interceptions. They dont beat themselves, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. They make you earn it.WATCH FOR CUNNINGHAM: The Commodores rank seventh in the SEC and 59th nationally in run defense, a unit anchored by the leagues top tackler in junior linebacker Zach Cunningham. He is averaging 10.6 tackles per game and has 85 tackles through eight games -- 14 more than the next closet tacklers with eight games played. Cunninghams key stop on fourth-and-1 in Athens preserved Vandys 16-15 win over Georgia on Oct. 15.TONY STEVENS: The status of Auburn leading receiver Tony Stevens remains a mystery. Stevens sat out the Mississippi game with an undisclosed injury. He has 24 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns, all team highs.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
