Richarlison had given Robert de Zerbi's disappointing side hope, after Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos gave the hosts a deserved two-goal advantage, when Chelsea's combative left-back Marc Cucurella unceremoniously dragged Spurs defender Micky van de Ven to the floor. It came as Mathys Tel prepared to take a corner and Spurs demanded a penalty that never came, their disbelief doubled when Cucurella was cautioned over the incident. Video assistant referee (VAR) checks detected his foul came seconds, maybe even one second, before the ball came into play, meaning a penalty could not be awarded. Referee Stuart Attwell could only take action against Cucurella with a yellow card, and once VAR confirmed the ball had not been kicked there was no room to initiate a review and subsequent spot-kick. Former Chelsea and England striker Daniel Sturridge told Sky Sports: "One second difference and it is a guaranteed penalty. Cucurella is so lucky." It was the tightest of calls. Spurs boss De Zerbi refused to dwell on it, but said the Everton game was arguably "more important" than the club's Europa League final against Manchester United last season, which they won in Bilbao. He added: "It is not my business. My business is to focus on preparing the next game and to get the points we need because Sunday is the final for us. "This game is important, more than playing for a trophy. Last season ended with playing for a trophy. We play for something more important than a trophy because of the pride and history of the club. "You can win a trophy but it does not change anything. The most important thing is the pride and dignity of the club, so that we can go on holiday, in the Premier League. "We have to stay alive. Sunday against Everton is a big day for us."

After the pomp and ceremony of US President Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing last week – his first in nearly 10 years – Russian President Vladimir Putin’s summit with President Xi Jinping on Wednesday may seem underwhelming. But it is not because Beijing attaches less importance to the relationship. It reflects mutual trust between the two, and the fact that Putin has been an annual visitor for the past 10 years except for two Covid-19 pandemic years. As a result, he has forged a strong rapport and the two nations are strategically aligned. On that level, apart from coordinating geopolitical strategy towards the United States, the two sides can be expected to reaffirm support for maintaining the post-war world order, a timely response to Japan’s attempt to rearm The deal outlook is more complex. It revolves around energy. The biggest item is a potentially large oil and gas deal . A deepening global energy crisis arising from the war on Iran and blockading of the Strait of Hormuz – a chokepoint for oil and gas shipments – has temporarily raised the oil prices commanded by Russia, a major producer. But it faces longer-term risks. Advertisement Defections from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), most recently by the United Arab Emirates, have weakened the organisation’s ability to regulate price, and will lead to a fragmented global energy market. This will strengthen the hand of the big oil buyers – particularly China. Russia is already facing sanctions from the West, with no immediate prospect that they will be lifted. Even if the US did so, Europe may not follow. So Russia needs to secure a long-term deal with Beijing. For China, the attraction will be in securing alternative energy routes to reduce its exposure to geopolitical risks in the Middle East and reduce chokepoint risks on sea routes. Also, the two sides are likely to agree to conduct the business in yuan, which will boost the currency’s internationalisation. Advertisement Price could ...

"A Breakthrough": White House Says Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Announcement Is Imminent Authored by Micah Zimmerman via BitcoinMagazine.com, The White House is on the verge of a formal announcement on the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — and the official leading the charge says the hard part is done. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, told an interviewer this week that the administration has cleared a major legal hurdle in standing up the reserve. “We’ll have an announcement,” Witt said. “I wish I could say more… It’s a breakthrough as far as getting everything in place, legally sound, properly safeguarding the assets.” The signal follows a similar declaration Witt made at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, where he told the crowd an update was coming within weeks. President Trump signed the executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve on March 6, 2025. Since then, Witt says his deputy Harry John has driven the interagency process: identifying what legal authorities exist, commissioning the necessary legal memos, and building a custody and reporting infrastructure across federal agencies that were designed for gold, not private keys. The reserve holds an estimated 328,372 BTC — roughly 1.6% of total global supply — accumulated through law enforcement seizures, including the Silk Road takedown, the 2022 Bitfinex hack recovery, and years of criminal forfeitures. The executive order bars the Treasury from selling a single coin. A government bitcoin hack lit a fire for the U.S. government Witt pointed to a breach at the U.S. Marshals Service as proof that the reserve’s security mandate is urgent. A government contractor named John Daghita allegedly stole more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from USMS custody accounts in late 2025, and the FBI arrested him in March 2026. A separate $24 million theft was traced to October 2024. “It’s a case in point for why it was so necessary that the presiden...

Toll Brothers shares rose as much as 5% in postmarket trading on Tuesday after the luxury homebuilder reported second-quarter profit that beat analysts’ estimates and raised its full-year guidance. Revenue came in at $2.5 billion, down 7.6% from a year ago but above Wall Street estimates of $2.4 billion. Adjusted earnings per share also came in above expectations at $2.72 per share. Total orders came results fell short of estimates but hit its highest level in two years. “Based on our year-to-date performance, we are raising our full-year guidance across all key home building metrics,” Chief Executive Officer Karl Mistry said in a statement . The firm now expects to deliver 10,400 to 10,700 homes in the fiscal year, up from a prior range of 10,300 to 10,700. It also raised guidance on the average delivered price per home to between $985,000 and $1 million, up from $970,000 to $990,000. Shares of Toll Brothers are down 8.2% this year through Tuesday’s close. By comparison, the S&P Midcap 400 Index, which includes the Pennsylvania-based developer, has risen 8%.

After Home Depot (HD +0.80%) reported fiscal first-quarter results before the market opened on Tuesday, the home improvement giant's stock briefly slipped below $290 -- a level it hadn't touched since late 2023. The dip came even though the quarter was, on the surface, perfectly respectable. Sales grew nearly 5%, adjusted earnings came in solidly, and management reaffirmed its full-year outlook. So why the disconnect? The answer mostly lies outside Home Depot's aisles. Stubbornly high mortgage rates have largely frozen housing turnover. Consumer confidence has slipped. And homeowners, while still showing up, are putting off the bigger, more profitable projects that tend to drive the retailer's growth. Still, with the stock down meaningfully from its all-time high in late 2024 and the dividend yield now north of 3%, dividend investors may want to take a closer look. A business holding up Home Depot's sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (the period ended May 3) rose 4.8% year over year to $41.8 billion -- a headline boosted in part by recent acquisitions. The more telling figure is comparable sales, which strips out new locations. That measure inched up just 0.6% overall, with U.S. comparable sales rising 0.4%. While that's modest, it's actually a small improvement from the 0.3% U.S. comparable sales growth Home Depot posted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. And the composition of that growth is interesting. Customers who are showing up are spending a bit more. The average ticket climbed 2.3% to $92.76. But fewer are coming through the door, with comparable transactions falling 1.3%. Management has consistently said that homeowners are still happy to spend on smaller jobs and maintenance items, but are holding off on the bigger renovations that historically have driven faster growth. Profitability slipped slightly. Earnings per share landed at $3.30, down from $3.45 a year earlier. Home Depot management tempered expectations for the rest of the year on the ...
