He netted again, four days later, on October 1, in a 3-0 …

Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen has revealed he could remain with the Eredivisie champions until his contract expires in June 2013.
The Belgium international had been linked to several top European clubs before the 2011/12 campaign and would like to move to a bigger team in the future.
But the 24-year-old insists he is in no hurry to leave the Amsterdam-based side and is happy to see out the remainder of his contract with the Dutch giants.
I will definitely stay for another six months, the centre-back told the club’s official website. I ll just see what happens after that. Everybody knows that I m an ambitious guy, but it s not like a summer transfer is a must.
I want to make the next step in my career at some point, but it s very well possible that I …
In what was a heavyweight London derby on Sunday lunchtime, Arsenal laid down a real marker as they picked up a deserved 1-0 win away at Chelsea.
Putting in another stellar display at Stamford Bridge and with Gabriel s second-half finish proving to be the match winner, the Gunners also found a route back to the top of the Premier League table.
Only continuing on what has been a remarkable purple patch since opening up the 2022/23 campaign, Mikel Arteta s youngsters now find themselves firmly at the heart of a shock title chase in north London.
Largely not having to get out of second gear and knowing that they could have easily left Stamford Bridge with a couple more strikes to show for their troubles, Arsenal also piled more pressure onto an inconsistent Chelsea…
Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic says he will not leave the club in January, despite being linked with a move away from Allianz Arena.
The experienced Croatia international has endured an injury-plagued spell of late and has fallen down the pecking order at the Bundesliga giants.
Olic is out of contract at the end of the season and has attracted interest from teams in Germany, Italy and Spain, but it appears that any potential move will have to wait.
They (Bayern Munich) say they are relying on me and that selling me is not an option, the 32-year-old told Sportske Novosti.
I had told them I d wanted to go and had some great offers but they didn t want to discuss it. They even told me I would be punished if I continued to talk about leaving.

I got to play SteamWorld Heist II at Summer Game Fest, and it was one of my favorite games at the event. I lost track of time while playing, transforming what was supposed to be a quick 30-minute preview into nearly an hour-and-a-half. I only left the booth because I had to–I had another appointment I needed to get to. SteamWorld Heist II feels like more of what came before, which is great in my book. The original game transformed shootouts into entertaining puzzles that tested your geometry skills as you ricocheted bullets and grenades through environments to snipe enemies out of cover or set up an ally for a devastating combo. It’s a winning formula, and if it isn’t broke, then why fix it?
As a sequel, SteamWorld Heist II adds more elements–new characters, new settin…

Sony’s efforts to reach out to and partner with studios in countries where AAA development has traditionally had less of a presence has borne fruit in different ways, whether that’s with Korean studio Shift Up and its action title Stellar Blade or with the many Chinese studios the company has partnered with through its PlayStation China Hero Project.
Every year, we typically get to see quite a lot more of the latter with the company’s showings at the annual ChinaJoy event, and Sony has confirmed that this year will be no different.
