Simple justice? Whoever coined the term failed to capture the full complexity of the law. Only a year earlier a jury with no African-Americans in Simi Valley had acquitted the four officers. The paroxysm of violence after that decision left 53 dead, upwards of $1 billion in damage and the country’s second largest city Balkanized with ethnic fury. This time a more diverse panel applied common sense to the evidence and reached a Solomon’s choice that offered something for everyone....

Ireland made their Test debut against Pakistan at Malahide in May and in 2019 they will head to London for a four-day match against England at the home of cricket from July 24-27. It will be the first ever meeting between the two local rivals in the game’s longest format. The clash is the precursor to next year’s Ashes series between England and Australia, which begins at Edgbaston on August 1....

The Merseysiders will now turn their attention towards the summer transfer window in an attempt to further enhance their squad. On that note, here are three players Liverpool could sign in the summer transfer window which would aid them in their quest for Premier League glory. #1 Timo Werner Liverpool currently possess one of the most lethal attacking trios in European football capable of dismantling any defence on their day....

Everton began well, and were unlucky not to be ahead as Yerry Mina missed a sitter from a free kick. Liverpool too had many good chances as Sadio Mane slashed over with just the goalkeeper to beat, and Xherdan Shaqiri smashed straight at the goalkeeper with the goal wide open. The best chance of the first half fell in the way of Everton Midfielder Andre Gomes whose effort on goal was saved heroically by first Alisson and then by a goal line clearance from Joe Gomez....

Liverpool are undefeated in their last 17 games across all competitions, while Premier League leaders City have won 20 and drawn the other two of their top-flight matches this season. They do have a significant Anfield hoodoo to overcome, having last won at the famous Merseyside ground in May 2003, but the departure of influential playmaker Coutinho for £142million earlier this week might offer grounds for encouragement. Not, however, in the eyes of Guardiola....

Keep up to date with all the Deadline Day rumours! The defender has been frozen out at Anfield after being sent home from the club’s pre-season tour of the USA and has not featured this season. Goal understands the clubs have agreed a £2 million loan fee with full wages paid for the 26-year-old. Crystal Palace are believed to have beaten off competition from both Swansea and Southampton who both failed in their attempts to land Sakho....

Mane was replaced by James Milner after N’Golo Kante hauled Chelsea back into the game with a mazy dribble and exquisite finish in the 71st minute. Liverpool, who had led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Roberto Firmino, survived numerous late scares as Frank Lampard’s men pushed for an equaliser that never arrived. Klopp told Sky Sports that Mane was “okay” after the final whistle, before explaining to reporters the reasons for replacing the forward....

Claudio Ranieri’s men, last season’s champions, have yet to score a league goal in 2017 and sit just a point above the relegation zone. Zlatan & Pogba to the rescue for Man Utd But Klopp is wary of the team his side will face at King Power Stadium on February 27, even though Leicester have a Champions League meeting with Sevilla before then. “Of course, Leicester, it’s a difficult situation for them,” the German told the club’s website....

The Reds ended the domestic season with an domestic cup double, of the EFL and FA Cups, but they were edged out by Manchester City in the Premier League title race. However, the prospect of a seventh European Cup/Champions League in the French capital, means Klopp’s charges will not be clicking into post-season mode. The meeting in Paris will be the third European final meeting between the two sides, with Liverpool winning the 1981 European Cup and Los Blancos defeating Klopp in Kiev in 2018....

In case you didn’t know… Gerrard needs no introduction. He is one of the best midfielders in the history of England and remains one of Liverpool’s legends. Gerrard scored a staggering 186 goals in 710 appearances for the Reds before he moved to the USA in 2015. His exploits against Milan in the historic Champions League Final comeback still remain fresh in the memories of avid football lovers. But Gerrard’s biggest regret will be failing to win the Premier League title back in 2014, when his unfortunate slip helped Chelsea grab a 2-0 victory in the penultimate game of the season and arguably cost Liverpool the title....

In case you didn’t know… Liverpool are enjoying their best ever Premier League campaign and are well on course to lift the title for the first time ever. Having played a game more than second-placed Manchester City, the Reds sit at the top of the table with a two-point lead. However, if City manage to win all their remaining fixtures, the Sky Blues will end up champions. Liverpool’s remaining fixtures are against Huddersfield Town, Newcastle United and Wolves whereas City take on arch-rivals Manchester United before facing Burnley, Leicester City and Brighton....

Well, not exactly. With three games in the States, Liverpool failed to record a win in games that, for European Champions, seemed very winnable. This is against the likes of Sevilla who finished as low 6th in La Liga last season. Despite coming up against a team that failed to finish in the top four in La Liga last season, Liverpool left Fenway Park as losers after a late winner from Pozo....

The Merseyside club have scored 16 goals in six Premier League games this season, with Philippe Coutinho, Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane and James Milner scoring three each. Midfielders Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson have also found the back of the net in the top flight this season, while strikers Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi yet to open their account. Klopp would not fuss over who scores the goal as long as the team keep winning....

The 25-year-old, who joined team training on Thursday after nursing a hamstring injury sustained while on Senegal duty, has missed the last five games in all competitions. Sturridge 10/3 FGS with dabblebet In his pre-match press briefing, Jurgen Klopp indicated the winger could feature for 20-25 minutes at London Stadium, but he has since proved he can feature from the off. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, meanwhile, follows his first European start for the Reds by also getting his full top-flight bow....

Liverpool-linked midfielder agrees to join La Liga giants Liverpool target Adrien Rabiot has decided to join Real Madrid in the summer, it has been claimed. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, has been stalling on a new contract with the French champions. He has not played for PSG since December due to his contract situation and other off-field issues. Besides Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal were also credited with showing interest in the France international....

With Philippe Coutinho having left Anfield for Barcelona during the winter transfer window, Jurgen Klopp was expected to step up his efforts to bring in midfield reinforcements. As Keita is already set to complete a £57 million move to Merseyside in the summer, it was suggested that his switch could be brought forward – with Leipzig being suitably compensated. No concerted effort was put in to making that happen, though, and the Guinea international will see out the season in Germany - much to the delight of his current employers....

Ross Barkley’s hard challenge on the ankle of Dejan Lovren – which earned him a 40th-minute booking – was one of the main talking points of Liverpool’s 3-1 victory at Anfield. Immediately after the match, Koeman explained why he had clashed with Jurgen Klopp and his coaching team on the touchline, saying Everton take a different approach from their rivals’ constant complaints to match officials. And Koeman was then asked to go into further detail at his post-match media conference, explaining Klopp was not the worst culprit, but telling the wider Liverpool bench to improve their behaviour....

Mohamed Salah and Dominic Solanke have been the only recruits for the Reds this summer, with the club aiming to further strengthen at left-back, midfield and in the heart of defence. Bet on Liverpool’s Premier League opener Hull City’s Andy Robertson is on the agenda to provide competition for James Milner in a deal worth around £8 million, while an opening £57m bid for RB Leipzig’s Naby Keita was rejected, with the dynamo the priority target to elevate the quality in the centre of the park....

Woodburn, 17, got his first senior call-up in March but did not earn a cap when Wales drew 0-0 with Republic of Ireland. But the attacker has been included for the country’s training squad in Portugal as they prepare for next month’s World Cup qualifier away to Serbia. And Woodburn, who made five Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season, stresses he was never tempted to represent England, despite their reported approach....
