72. A cynical trip from Hughes sends Hojlund sprawling in the centre of the pitch.
It’s a clear yellow card although the midfielder points out it wouldn’t have happened if Eze had been awarded a free-kick seconds earlier.
70. Manchester United need a goal. Rasmus Hojlund needs a goal. Joshua Zirkzee needs a goal.
Both strikers are now on, taking over from Kobbie Mainoo and Noussair Mazraoui.
68. Rather than rallying since falling behind, United are suddenly looking shakey.
Palace smell blood, and Hughes has the chance to slip in Mateta for a second but overcooks his pass.
66. Bruno Fernandes was booked for dissent in the aftermath of that Crystal Palace goal.
I’ve no idea what he may have been complaining about, but he’s not alone among those inside Old Trafford.
64. Crystal Palace lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta!
It’s an instant impact from substitute Ebere Eze, who swings a delightful free-kick over for Maxence Lacroix to meet.
The defender’s thumping header crashes against the crossbar and with Andre Onana grounded, Mateta reacts quicker than Harry Maguire to follow up and bury into the empty net.
The travelling fans celebrate, and now sense another victory over Manchester United.
In a shocking turn of events, Lisandro Martinez suffered a sickening knee injury during the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The defender’s injury forced the game to be halted as he received medical attention on the pitch.
The severity of Martinez’s injury is still unknown, but it was clear from the reaction of players and fans that it was a serious incident. The Argentine defender has been a key player for Manchester United this season, and his absence will surely be felt in the coming matches.
Fans and teammates alike are hoping for a speedy recovery for Martinez, and are sending their thoughts and prayers to him during this difficult time. Stay tuned for more updates on his condition as they become available.

President Donald Trump has issued a new executive order calling for the declassification of documents connected to three of the most significant assassinations in United States history: those of John F Kennedy (JFK), Robert F Kennedy (RFK), and Martin Luther King Jr (MLK).
“This is a big one. A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades,” Trump said, as he signed the order at the White House. “And everything will be revealed.”
Here’s a look at the key highlights from Thursday, marking Trump’s fourth day in office.
For years, these files have fascinated researchers, reporters, conspiracy theorists and politicians, Trump included.
In 1992, the US Congress passed a law mandating that files related to the JFK assassination be released within 25 years unless the president determined that the harm to national security outweighed the public interest in disclosure.
Many of the files about JFK’s assassination in 1963 have already been released; there are fewer than 4,700 withheld in part or in full.
In this new executive order, Trump did not specify which documents would be released, and he did not promise a blanket declassification. King and Robert Kennedy were both assassinated in 1968.
The records are not expected to be released immediately.
“Within 15 days of the date of this order, the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General shall, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and the Counsel to the President, present a plan to the President for the full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy,” the executive order reads.
The timeline is within 45 days for RFK and MLK files.
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the health and human services secretary-designate under Trump, and nephew of JFK as well as the son of Robert Kennedy, has claimed that the CIA was involved in his uncle’s assassination – an accusation the agency has dismissed as unfounded.
MLK was fatally shot by James Earl Ray, a fugitive who was a supporter of racial segregation. However, members of the King family have claimed that Ray was not acting alone.
“I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue,” Trump said in an executive order.
He added that “I have determined that the release of all records” related to the deaths of Senator Kennedy and Dr King “is also in the public interest”.

But even as Trump continued issuing a slew of executive orders, some are facing legal challenges. And one major order – terminating birthright citizenship as part of the president’s anti-immigration agenda – was blocked by a federal judge.
Birthright citizenship refers to a constitutionally protected right that grants automatic US citizenship to babies born in the country. The order seeks to revoke birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented migrants and individuals on legal visas residing temporarily in the US – including workers, students, tourists and others.
On Thursday, a federal judge declared the order unconstitutional and blocked its implementation for 14 days.
Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee based in Seattle, approved the emergency request from Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and three other Democratic-led states to block the policy’s implementation.
“Where were the lawyers?” Coughenour asked, about how the decision to sign the executive order was made.
More than 150,000 newborn children would be denied citizenship annually if Trump’s order is allowed to stand, according to the Democratic-led states.
If you are born in the U.S., you are a U.S. citizen. Period.
The 14th Amendment clearly says so. The Supreme Court has affirmed it for more than 125 years.
That’s why I’m suing Pres. Trump to block his unconstitutional executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.
— Attorney General Keith Ellison (@AGEllison) January 21, 2025
In comments criticising birthright citizenship, Trump has said: “We have to end it. We’re the only country that has it.”
However, numerous countries grant citizenship based on birthplace. Like the US, most of these nations are located in the Western Hemisphere, including Canada and Mexico.
Since Trump signed the order, at least six lawsuits have been filed challenging it, most of them by civil rights groups and Democratic attorneys general from 22 states.
The policy has been in place for more than a century and is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which grants citizenship to people “born or naturalised in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
But according to experts, the interpretation of this order is more complex than it might appear.
“That’s the key phrase, ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’” Bruce DelValle, a constitutional lawyer, told Al Jazeera.
“The easy interpretation is that it excludes children of diplomats – they are not really US citizens, as they are here as diplomats. But I think there is a minority view that … [argues] you cannot be subject to the US laws if you are here illegally. You are not a US citizen … and therefore the 14th amendment doesn’t apply to you, and that’s where the battleground is likely to be,” he added.
“The question here is – is President Trump interpreting the 14th amendment, or is he changing the 14th amendment?” DelValle said. “Clearly he cannot change the 14th amendment.”
Meanwhile, Trump also addressed a wide range of issues during his online speech to business leaders at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday.
Here are some key highlights:
My message to every business in the world is very simple.
Come make your product in America, and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth. But if you don’t make your product in America, you will have to pay a tariff. pic.twitter.com/wDDsurmXb7
— President Donald J. Trump (@POTUS) January 23, 2025
According to Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett, Trump’s speech at Davos appeared aimed at offering reassurance.
“He’s saying, ‘Look, what we’re going to do is we’re going to boost fossil fuels. We’re going to become a manufacturing superpower. We’re going to become the hub of artificial intelligence. We’re going to focus on deregulation. Everything is going to be different, but it’s going to be OK. I’m doing things differently, but you’re all going to benefit, as long as you do it my way,’” Halkett explained, while reporting from Washington.
“It’s very much a distinct, Trump way of doing business. ‘If you do it my way, you’ll all benefit’ is the message he seems to be sending,” she added.
Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina: Trump signed an order supporting federal recognition for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. While the tribe is recognised as a Native American tribe by the state of North Carolina, it has long been denied full recognition by the federal government.
Cryptocurrency: Trump signed a long-anticipated executive order on cryptocurrency on Thursday. It confirmed that a key policy would be to “support the responsible growth of use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies across all sectors of the economy.” He and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, recently released their own meme coins. In 2021, he had referred to Bitcoin as a scam.
Anti-abortion rights activists: The president also pardoned 23 anti-abortion rights activists via a new executive order. “They should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are elderly people. They should not have been prosecuted. This is a great honor to sign,” Trump said.
Pete Hegseth’s nomination: Pete Hegseth’s nomination to head the Department of Defense narrowly progressed in a Senate vote, paving the way for a final confirmation vote that could take place within the next day or so. The tally was 51-49 in the 100-member Senate. Concerns were raised about his limited management experience and multiple allegations – denied by him – of inappropriate personal behaviour and excessive drinking.
Ratcliffe and Pompeo: A majority of the US Senate backed John Ratcliffe as director of the CIA. The Senate voted to confirm Ratcliffe by 74-25. Separately, the Trump administration revoked the security protection for Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo and his top aide, Brian Hook, who according to a report by The Associated Press have been targeted with threats from Iran after adopting hardline positions on the country during Trump’s first term.
@JohnRatcliffe‘s confirmation as Director of the CIA marks a significant step in advancing President Trump’s vision to restore America’s strength on the world stage.

In a recent development, President Trump has authorized the release of long-awaited files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This decision marks a significant step towards transparency and accountability in one of the most infamous events in American history.
Additionally, Trump’s administration has decided to halt the controversial plan to bar birthright citizenship, which grants citizenship to anyone born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. This decision has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising it as a victory for constitutional rights, while others criticize it as a missed opportunity to address immigration reform.
As the Trump administration continues to make headlines with its bold and often divisive policies, these latest developments underscore the ongoing impact of his presidency on American politics and society. Stay tuned for more updates on Donald Trump’s latest actions and decisions.

SpaceX halted the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday with 11 seconds to spare after a plane allegedly flew into restricted airspace near the launchpad.
The California exhibition set to send Starlink satellites into orbit fell apart at the last minute when an aircraft encroached on the rocket’s launch space, according to a broadcast on Space X’s X account.
At the 12-second mark of the countdown, someone can be heard exclaiming, “Hold, hold hold!”
“Uh, held for a possible aircraft in the airspace,” the same voice can be heard saying moments later.
The launch, which was initially supposed to take place on Saturday, was then postponed, according to Business Insider.
It was not immediately clear which aircraft, if any, caused the aborted launch.
Several planes flew near the restricted area near the scheduled launch time, according to the outlet.
While social media culprits suspected Delta Flight 480, which flew from Los Angeles to Honolulu early Sunday, the airline said they followed air traffic control’s instructions and had “no issue.”
Meanwhile, audio from air traffic control shared on the YouTube channel VAS Aviation revealed an air traffic controller telling the Delta flight they would have “the best show for the rocket launch.”
Another flight, Southwest Flight SWA1311, flying from San Diego to Honolulu, was also near the launch zone at the time, but neither the airline nor the FAA received reports about the incident, according to the outlet.
The rocket was successfully launched Tuesday morning, according to the SpaceX X account.
“Falcon lands for the 400th time!” the account wrote, confirming the deployment of 27 Starlink satellites.
SpaceX halted rocket launch seconds before takeoff Sunday
In a surprising turn of events, SpaceX was forced to cancel a scheduled rocket launch just seconds before liftoff on Sunday. The Falcon 9 rocket, which was set to carry a payload of satellites into orbit, was halted due to an unspecified issue that was detected during the final countdown.
Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, took to Twitter to explain the situation, stating that the decision to abort the launch was made out of an abundance of caution. He assured followers that the issue would be thoroughly investigated and addressed before the next launch attempt.
This unexpected delay serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges of space travel, and the importance of rigorous safety protocols in the industry. While disappointing for those eagerly anticipating the launch, the decision to prioritize safety over schedule demonstrates SpaceX’s commitment to ensuring the success of their missions.
Stay tuned for updates on when the rescheduled launch will take place, as SpaceX works to resolve the issue and resume their ambitious efforts to explore the cosmos.

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team saw its three-game win streak snapped with an 83-60 loss to CSUN Thursday night at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. The Rainbow Warriors dropped to 11-6 overall and 3-3 in the Big West.
After trailing for the first seven minutes, CSUN (12-6, 4-3) used a pivotal run to take the lead midway through the first half. It was a lead the Matadors would not relinquish as CSUN defeated UH in Honolulu for the first time since 2019.
Scotty Washington led four CSUN players in double-figures with 24 points as the Matadors finished the game shooting 53 percent from the field and an efficient 8-of-14 from three-point land.
The ‘Bows, conversely, struggled from beyond the arc, going just 3-20. That included just 1-of-9 shooting the second half to stymie any comeback hopes.
Aaron Hunkin-Claytor tallied a season-high 10 points off the bench, while Tom Beattie added nine for the Rainbow Warriors. Leading scorer and rebounder Tanner Christensen was limited to just four points and one rebound after being saddled with foul trouble for much of the game.
In a game that featured the top two rebounding teams in the Big West, CSUN dominated with a 40-25 advantage on the glass. It marked just the third time in 17 games this season that the ‘Bows were out-rebounded.
UH scored eight of the first 10 points of the game for a strong start. But after UH held a 12-6 lead five minutes into the game, the Matadors made their move. CSUN went on a 19-4 run to take the lead. The Matadors shot 52 percent in the first half to take a 38-29 lead into the locker room.
Things didn’t get better for UH in the second half as the Matadors continued their torrid play. After falling behind by as many as 22 points, UH cut the deficit to 12 on a Gytis Nemiksa dunk with 6:25 minutes left that energized the home crowd. But Washington scored CSUN’s next 13 points and the Matadors closed the door with a 16-2 run to put the game out of reach.
The Rainbow Warriors will continue its homestand on Saturday, Jan. 18 when it hosts CSU Bakersfield. Tipoff is 7:00 p.m. at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.

The UC Davis men’s basketball team’s winning streak came to an end on Saturday night as they fell to CSUN in a hard-fought game. Despite a strong effort from the Aggies, they were unable to overcome a determined CSUN squad.
The game started off close, with both teams trading baskets and playing tough defense. However, CSUN was able to pull ahead in the second half, capitalizing on turnovers and missed shots by UC Davis. The Aggies fought back, but ultimately fell short as CSUN secured the victory.
Despite the loss, there were some standout performances from UC Davis players, including standout performances from leading scorers and strong defensive efforts. The team will look to bounce back from this defeat and continue their strong play in the remainder of the season.
The loss to CSUN serves as a reminder that every game in college basketball is a battle, and the Aggies will need to bring their A-game in order to continue their success. With their winning streak now halted, the team will need to regroup and refocus as they look ahead to their next matchup.
