A large apartment complex under construction in Houston has been consumed by fire, sending thick, black smoke billowing into the sky and drawing hundreds of emergency personnel. Much of the high-rise structure was reduced to rubble on Tuesday by wind-driven flames. Houston Fire Department spokesman Capt. Ruy Lozano told the Houston Chronicle that the only people inside were construction workers and it is believed they all got out safely There were no injuries, but a construction worker had to be rescued from the third floor, according to HFD. Employees at a nearby high-rise say the worker tried to use a fire extinguisher to put out the flames on the roof, but the fire suddenly began spreading. They watched in horror as the man looked desperately for a way to get down. 'The firemen did rescue him, but he did have to drop down a floor as the entire top floor started burning,' the employee said in an email. At one point, the worker dangled perilously from a third floor window sill...

Edin Dzeko bagged a double,Yaya Toure fired in a late third as Manchester City moved up to second in the Premier League table with a comfortable 3-0 win against Manchester Unitedat Old Trafford. David Moyes' men were buoyed by good wins over Olympiakos and West Ham heading into the contest but City stung them instantly as Edin Dzeko scored after 43 seconds to register the fastest away goal at Old Trafford in Premier League history. United proceeded to stagger their way through the opening exchanges and rarely threatened to stop City extending their present dominance of the fixture to five wins from six league meetings, although Juan Mata might have levelled matters six minutes before the interval. Dzeko finished precisely 11 minutes into the second half to give City breathing space and Yaya Toure added a third in the 90th minute, the Ivorian's fourth goal in two games. Manuel Pellegrini's team are well-placed in the title race, three points behind leaders Chelsea with two g...

By Ben Hayward. Everything had appeared in Real Madrid's favour. With Barcelona faltering in recent weeks and Atletico also in their slipstream, Carlo Ancelotti's side approached theClasicowith confidence and the comfortable cushion of a four-point advantage over their fierce foes. All they had to do was defend it. But they couldn't. Defending, in fact, was far from the strong point of either side on Sunday. Andres Iniesta was allowed time and space to escape alone on the left and blast Barca into an early lead. Then, Karim Benzema twice took advantage of poor marking from the Catalans to turn it around before Lionel Messi negotiated his way through a crowd of Madrid defenders to make it 2-2 at half-time. The second half was a tale of three penalties: Madrid got the first when Cristiano Ronaldo went down outside the area in what looked an innocuous challenge by Dani Alves; Neymar then threw himself to the ground after a collision which saw Sergio Ramos sent off and Messi m...

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claimed his side ‘came to kill’ after they destroyed 10-man Arsenal 6-0 in Arsene Wenger’s 1,000th game in charge. The Stamford Bridge clash between the Premier League title rivals was effectively over after 17 minutes with leaders Chelsea three goals to the good and the Gunners a man down. Samuel Eto’o and Andre Schurrle had already scored before Eden Hazard saw his shot pushed away from goal by the hand of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Referee Andre Marriner awarded a spot-kick, but inexplicably brandished the red card in the face of a bemused Kieran Gibbs, before Hazard made no mistake from the spot. Oscar scored either side of the interval before Mohamed Salah added a humiliating sixth to leave Arsenal back on the fringes of the title race, with Mourinho admitting his side’s lightning start made the difference, although he still refuses to accept they are title favourites. He told reporters: “‘We had 10 amazing minutes and with that you can win the game and...
