LONDON -- Facing a fourth-and-5 from the Philadelphia 27-yard line, the Jacksonville Jaguars got the look they wanted from the Eagles' defense. So, receiver Parker Washington knew quarterback Trevor Lawrence was going to throw him the football.

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews felt Jeremy Jacquet was "cute and clever" for his role in Yehor Yarmoliuk's red card in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Ukraine international Yarmoliuk was sent off in the eighth minute of first-half stoppage time at the Gtech Community Stadium for catching Jacquet with what referee John Brooks called - after going to the VAR monitor - "a headbutting action".

Premier League leaders Manchester City earned a seventh straight win by beating Ipswich Town 3-2 as their on-pitch resistance showed no signs of slowing.

Banana-crazed fans, a tradition that started in the 1980s, made for a playful atmosphere, and City's players responded with another demonstration of dogged defiance to move six points clear at the top. Their focus on winning football matches despite the huge scrutiny surrounding the club cannot be questioned.

Callum Jones scored a second-half equaliser as Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by Dundee and missed the chance to go top of the Scottish Premiership.

Dundee opened the scoring when Rangers failed to deal with a routine long ball, with Bradley Fink capitalising to round the goalkeeper and slide home.

Artificial intelligence has already thoroughly infected the auto industry, whether we're talking about automakers that want to charge you more with AI, companies that directly advertise to an AI audience, or the Dutch relying on AI to ticket cars. Rideshare companies have gotten in on the action as well, and it's not just Uber trying to turn its driver's cars into AI-training data gatherers.

[The following story contains spoilers from the first four episodes of The Diplomat season four, through “Pagliacci.”]

Rory Kinnear couldn’t leave The Diplomat without one more surprise.

The actor, who has spent the past four seasons playing wild-card British prime minister Nicol Trowbridge, resigns midway through the Netflix political thriller’s latest season, announcing the move in a shocking moment at the end of episode four. Trowbridge steps down after an unusually surreal episode for The Diplomat, in which he imagines that former adviser Margaret Roylin (Celia Imrie), who dies early in season three, is still alive and chiming in on his latest actions. He also hallucinates that the U.S. officials with whom he’s meeting are laughing at and mocking him and sings an aria as he thinks of himself as both a king and a clown (donning both costumes).
