Tottenham has moved into second place in the Premier League, What next...
Tottenham have moved into second place in the Premier League after beating Watford 1-0 at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Many people think the Liverpool fans walkout helped Sunderland draw 2-2, What about You?
Did the Liverpool fans walkout lead to Sunderland’s 2-2 draw at Anfield on Saturday?
There was a mad finish at Anfield on Saturday as Liverpool managed to draw a game they definitely should have won.
After a goalless opening forty-minutes at Anfield, the Reds took control of the match against the Black Cats in the second half.
Roberto Firmino, who has now been involved in eight goals in his last five Premier League matches (five goals, three assists), appeared to have steered Liverpool into a winning position with a goal and setup for Adam Lallana.
Then in the 77th minute, politics and football became intertwined.
Liverpool fans, furious with the new ticketing prices, staged a mass walkout in the 77th minute.
The 77th minute was chosen as the most expensive ticket at Anfield next year will be 77 pounds.
Following the walkout Liverpool capitulated on the pitch, as Sunderland clawed a point out the game.
Simon Mignolet again courted criticism as Adam john son and then Jermain Defoe scored for Big Sam’s side.
Al Qaeda group Claim to hold two Australians
An al Qaeda linked militant group claims it is holding an Australian doctor and his wife who were abducted last month in Burkina Faso.
Al-Mourabitoun, in a purported audio message, said it plans to release the wife because it does "not target women in times of war."
The couple was working in a local clinic in the northern town of Djibo, near the border with Mali, according to Burkinabe President Roch Marc Christian Kabore. He identified them as Dr. Ken Elliott and his wife, Jocelyn.
A spokesperson for Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was aware of the message.
"We are in close contact with the family in what is a very difficult time. The safety and welfare of Dr. and Mrs. Elliott are our overriding concern," the spokesperson said. "The family has requested privacy and the government will not be providing further comment at this time."
The Burkinabe President mentioned the kidnapping during a January 16 national televised speech that mostly addressed a terror attack that unfolded in the capital Ouagadougou earlier that day.
The President said he ordered security forces to launch efforts to find the pair. Al-Mourabitoun also claimed responsibility for the Ouagadougou attack, which killed 29 people and targeted a luxury hotel as well as two other locations.
Al-Mourabitoun, which has ties to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghbreb, had said it was behind the November attack at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Mali, which left 22 people dead.
