Teenager Angus Hall scored an eye-catching try on his first Premiership start as Saracens reignited their top-four hopes with a hard-fought win at Leicester Tigers.

The 19-year-old collected Elliot Daly's pass and sped clear to finish in the corner after Saracens had fallen behind for the first time in the match.

Jamie George and Juan Martin Gonzalez gave the visitors a 14-point lead before the Tigers fought back to lead through Freddie Steward and a Hanro Liebenberg double either side of half-time.

But Hall's effort pulled Saracens level and replacement Theo Dan scored the decisive try from a Leicester line-out, with Cameron Henderson's effort for the Tigers controversially ruled out for offside.

Saracens' bonus-point win lifts them to sixth in the table, two points behind Leicester in third.

Sarries, who started with a quartet of England players in an effort to boost their play-off chances, suffered an early setback as prop forward Fraser Balmain was carried off injured in the opening minute.

But it did not disrupt the visitors' rhythm as they quickly opened a 14-point lead, moving the ball back and forth across the pitch inside Leicester's 22 before George eventually burst over the line.

George and Theo McFarland then made inroads on the right and Saracens brought the ball back infield for Gonzalez to scoot through a sizeable gap in the Tigers' defence, with Alex Lozowski adding the extras on both occasions.

A try-saving tackle by Tom Willis denied Solomone Kata soon afterwards, but a wave of Tigers pressure finally paid off as Ollie Hassell-Collins set up Steward, who broke clear to score under the posts.

After Handre Pollard and Lozowski had traded drop-goals, it was Leicester who finished the first half in the ascendancy after Liebenberg squeezed over to reduce the gap to two points at the turnaround.

That momentum spilled into the second half as the Tigers turned the ball over deep in opposition territory and Liebenberg took advantage, going over for his second try to put the home side ahead for the first time.

The lead was short-lived, however, with quick hands from Saracens enabling Daly to release Hall and the youngster displayed good technique to hold off Adam Radwan's challenge and dot down just inside the corner flag.

Saracens were hit by another injury blow when Lozowski was forced off on the hour - but again they responded by scoring, with Maro Itoje doing enough to disrupt the line-out so that Julian Montoya's throw sailed through for Dan to collect and finish.

The home crowd thought their side had levelled again immediately as Henderson charged down Ivan van Zyl's kick from the scrum and scampered over - but referee Luke Pearce adjudged the Leicester lock offside and chalked off the try after a video replay.

Chelsea dropped points at home for the first time in the Women's Super League (WSL) this season after West Ham's injury-time equaliser at Kingsmeadow on Sunday.

Following Chelsea's midweek extertions in the Champions League, manager Sonia Bompastor made seven changes to the lineup that started against Manchester City on Thursday.

Two of the new additions -- Maika Hamano and Aggie Beever-Jones -- put Chelsea 2-0 up early into the first half before Shekiera Martinez havled the deficit close to the break. West Ham pushed hard for an equaliser and got reward for their efforts in injury time when Martinez headed past Hannah Hampton for her second goal of the evening.

West Ham are only the third team to take points off unbeaten-Chelsea this season, with Leicester City and Brighton also holding Bompastor's side to draws.

The result keep leaders Chelsea six points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who beat lowly Crystal Palace 4-0 earlier on Sunday. Beth Mead bagged a brace for the north London side, with Alessia Russo continuing her fine goalscoring form with her 11th league goal of the season.

Manchester United maintained pace at the top of the table with a 2-0 win over Everton while City bounced back from their midweek Champions League exit with a 2-1 win over Brighton.

Elsewhere, Liverpool fell to a second succesive league defeat after a 2-1 loss at home to relegation-threatend Aston Villa while Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw against Leicester.

FIFA has drawn up plans to hold a one-game playoff between Club América and Los Angeles Football Club to determine a replacement team for Club León at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, sources have told ESPN.

Club León was removed from the Club World Cup on March 23 when FIFA ruled that its inclusion would violate competition rules preventing two clubs with the same owner from taking part in the tournament. León is owned by Grupo Pachuca, which also owns fellow Liga MX side Pachuca.

"In line with article 10 paragraph four of the regulations for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, FIFA has determined that Club León will be removed from the competition, with the club to be admitted as a replacement to be announced in due course," FIFA said in a statement.

The plans for the playoff would be set in motion if León loses its appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to be reinstated to the Club World Cup.

CAS announced a hearing would be held on April 23 in Madrid, Spain for both León and Costa Rican side Liga Deportiva Alajuelense to present their arguments. Alajuelense originally submitted the complaint to CAS, citing that León's participation violated the FIFA regulations and arguing they should receive a spot in the tournament instead.

Now, both clubs have until April 2 to gather legal documentation before presenting arguments on the 23rd. No plans of a replacement will be announced until each legal case is resolved.

FIFA has some options for a replacement team. It could simply go with LAFC, who was the runner-up in the competition that Club León won -- the 2023 Concacaf Champions League. Alternately, FIFA could use the highest ranked team in Concacaf that isn't already in the tournament, which is Club América. There had been some precedent for the latter approach, given that the UEFA ranking pathway is how Red Bull Salzburg got into the Club World Cup since Real Madrid had won two of the previous UEFA Champions League titles.

Sources have told ESPN FIFA decided to give both teams a chance, and has opted to hold a one-game playoff with the date and venue to be determined, so long as León's appeal is unsuccessful.

Representatives from FIFA and LAFC declined to comment.

When asked about qualifying to the tournament, Club América head coach Andre Jardine confirmed the team must earn their spot on the field.

"León should go to the Club World Cup. I'm sad for the institution and I'd like them to find a solution so they can go," Jardine said.

"If it doesn't happen, then América has been doing things well for a long time. It's true that they haven't yet won the Concacaf Champions Cup, which is a dream of ours and a very clear objective. We're leading most of the Mexican tournaments, and the Concacaf ranking, which is one of the criteria. If you ask me if I want to go to the Club World Cup, of course it's true, but I'd like to go to the Club World Cup by achieving it on the field. That's what we're working towards."

The 32-team Club World Cup is set to begin on June 14, with the final being held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on July 13.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said he loves his team's thirst for goals after they scored four more against Girona on Sunday to restore their three point lead at the top of LaLiga.

Two goals from Robert Lewandowski, a Ferran Torres strike and a Ladislav Krejčí own goal earned Barça a 4-1 win at the Olympic Stadium as they scored four or more goals for the 20th time in 45 fixtures this season.

Erling Haaland was substituted with a left ankle injury in the 60th minute of Manchester City's 2-1 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Norway striker hurt the ankle after Bournemouth right back Lewis Cook landed awkwardly on him in a 56th-minute tackle at the Vitality Stadium.

Haaland received treatment, came back on, but soon fell to the ground in pain and had to be substituted. City coach Pep Guardiola said after the match that he didn't have an update on Haaland's injury yet.

The score was 1-1, with Haaland having scored City's equalizer after missing a penalty in the first half.

His replacement Omar Marmoush scored three minutes after taking Haaland's place to put City up 2-1 and send them to the semifinals at Wembley for a seventh season in a row.

The FA Cup is the only chance for for Guardiola's four-time defending Premier League champions to win a trophy this season, as they trail leaders Liverpool by 22 points with nine games remaining in the table.

City were also eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid in the playoff knockout round.

PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons are in the early stages, but executive vice president Stephen Jones said he feels "good" about the direction of the talks.

Parsons, who is set to play this season on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal, has had conversations with owner and general manager Jerry Jones as well as Stephen Jones within the past couple of weeks. At the NFL scouting combine in February, the Cowboys met with Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta.

"I don't want to get into any details," Stephen Jones said from The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday before the annual league meeting starts Monday. "It's not fair for anybody, other than we've got a great working relationship with Micah and think the world of him. Like I've said, we've had good visits with him and feel good about where we're headed."

Since the combine, the Las Vegas Raiders signed pass rusher Maxx Crosby to a three-year, $106.5 million extension that includes $91.5 million guaranteed. The Cleveland Browns briefly made Myles Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback with an extension that averages $40 million and includes $123.5 million guaranteed before the Cincinnati Bengals signed wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a four-year, $161 million deal that includes $112 million guaranteed.

Parsons can make a case to be the highest-paid non-quarterback. Parsons and Hall of Famer Reggie White are the only players to record at least 12 sacks in each of their first four seasons. Despite missing four games with a high ankle sprain last season, Parsons finished fifth in the NFL with 12 sacks. He tied for the most multisack games in the NFL last year with five, and his 18 multisack games in his career are the second most since 2021, behind only T.J. Watt, who has recorded 19 for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A first-round pick in 2021, Parsons has recorded 52.5 sacks in his first four seasons. Only White (70), Derrick Thomas (58), J.J. Watt (57) and DeMarcus Ware (53.5) have had more since sacks became an official stat in 1982.

Parsons said late last season that he does not need to be the highest-paid defensive player in the game, but that was before the recent deals increased the market.

Last year, the Cowboys made Dak Prescott the highest-paid quarterback with a four-year, $240 million deal and made CeeDee Lamb the then-second-highest paid receiver at $34 million per season. Lamb did not sign his deal until August, missing all of the offseason program and most of training camp. Part of the reason was the Cowboys wanting to see the results of other talks, namely with Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson, who signed a deal averaging $35 million.

Stephen Jones declined to discuss whether the Crosby and Garrett deals set a market for Parsons.

"Like I said, I'm not going to get into any detail on where things are, and how far along we are or anything like that," Jones said. "It's not productive."

Jones did try to squash talk that the Cowboys wait too long to get deals done with their star players, which ends up costing them more money in the long run.

"We've done the early before, and we've waited until the end to do them," Jones said. "A lot of it is just the negotiation itself. Some of them take longer than others. And we put about zero credibility or credence into people saying you wait too long."

The San Francisco 49ers are not expected to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk by Tuesday, when he is due a $22.85 million bonus, barring a late deal materializing, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.

Aiyuk, who signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the 49ers last year, is due the $22.85 million bonus if he is on the team's roster Tuesday. Once the 49ers pay that bonus it is expected that Aiyuk would spend the 2025 season in San Francisco, the sources told Schefter.

The 49ers have already traded one star wide receiver this offseason, sending Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders.

Aiyuk's 2024 season was cut short last October when he tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee. He finished last season with 25 catches for 374 yards and no touchdowns.

He signed the extension last year after a 2023 season in which he had 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns.

Aiyuk, 27, has 294 receptions for 4,305 yards and 25 touchdowns in five seasons. The 49ers selected him at No. 25 in the first round of the 2020 draft.

The Athletics claimed pitcher Angel Perdomo off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels.

The 30-year-old left-hander appeared in 22 total games for the Milwaukee Brewers from 2020 to 2021 with an alarming 8.24 ERA.

However, Perdomo returned to the majors in 2023 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and performed significantly better with a 3.72 ERA, 1.103 WHIP, and 44 strikeouts across 30 relief appearances.

After undergoing Tommy John surgery, he missed the entire 2024 campaign. The Pirates released him, and he was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves.

On March 17, the Braves shipped him to the Angels for a player to be named later or cash considerations. However, the team designated him for assignment only eight days later.

In spring training, Perdomo played in 10 games between the Braves and Angels. He gave up two earned runs, seven hits and four walks, while striking out eight in 10 innings.

To make room, the Athletics designated outfielder Esteury Ruiz for assignment.

Ruiz appeared in 132 games for the franchise in 2023, recording five home runs, 47 RBIs, and an AL-leading 67 stolen bases. It also marked the most stolen bases by a rookie in AL history.

However, he appeared in only 29 games in 2024, posting two home runs, eight RBIs, and five stolen bases with an underwhelming .200/.270/.382 batting line.

The 26-year-old ranks in the 95th percentile in sprint speed. His baserunning ability, alone, gives him value to another club.
