MONACO -- ??? Monaco sealed first place in Group E of the Champions League with a 2-1 win over Tottenham in a thrilling display of attacking football on Tuesday.Needing just a draw against the only side to remain unbeaten in the Premier League to progress to the knockout phase, Monaco did not hold back. However, it took the hosts 48 minutes to break the deadlock with a goal from Djibril Sidibe, who then turned provider when Thomas Lemar scored the winner five minutes later.Harry Kane had equalized from the penalty spot for Spurs, which can no longer qualify for the knockout phase.We got ourselves back in the game at 1-1 and it was schoolboy to concede straight after that, Kane said. We had to try to grind out a win because we were not great tonight. The second goal took the stuffing out of us. I just dont think on the day we were good enough.Monaco went ahead when Sidibe, unmarked in the box, planted a powerful header into the net from Benjamin Mendys cross.Monaco could not hold on to its lead for long as a rare mistake from Kamil Glik, who dragged Dele Alli down in the area, resulted in a penalty. Kane converted it with a powerful spot-kick.But Spurs defensive inadequacies were exposed less than a minute after their equalizer. From the resulting kick-off, Sidibe burst down the right before crossing for Lemar. The highly-praised midfielder, who scored in the corresponding fixture in September at Wembley, restored Monacos advantage with a shot into the far corner.It was a great evening, Sidibe said. Were playing with a conquering mindset at the moment.It was a deserved win for Monaco, which was the better team for most of the game.In a lively start, Tottenham created the first dangerous move when Son Heung-min beat the offside trap on a swift counterattack but lost his one-on-one with Danijel Subasic. The South-Korean winger vainly tried to dribble the Monaco keeper and was forced wide.The hosts replied immediately through Fabinho, who made the most of a poor clearance to make his way into the box and was brought down by Eric Dier. Radamel Falcao, the Monaco captain, took the penalty -- only to see his low shot to the bottom corner superbly blocked by Hugo Lloriss diving save.With Kevin Wimmer replacing Jan Vertonghen in the heart of Tottenhams back four, Spurs struggled defensively and Monaco -- the highest-scoring side in Europes main domestic leagues -- gradually took control.With its midfielders often losing possession and committing a series of fouls as they tried to recover the ball, Tottenham failed to produce a single shot in goal during the opening 45 minutes.The French league side had another good chance when Mendy sent a cross-shot goalwards that Lloris parried away. Left unmarked in the area, Monaco striker Valere Germain tried his luck from the rebound but his header was too weak to surprise Lloris.Falcao and Sidibe then missed the target and Germain again came close after a pass from Bernardo Silva in midfield sent him through. The striker raced down the right flank and fired an angled low shot that ended just wide.Monaco created two more clear chances through Glik and Falcao after Lemar put the hosts back in front but Lloris ensured a nervy finale with some decisive saves.

Harry Giles Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Louisvilles Lamar Jackson confounded the Syracuse defense in just about every way. Quinton Flowers is ready to keep the ball rolling against the Orange.Flowers leads South Florida (2-0) into the Carrier Dome on Saturday afternoon, a week after Jackson led the No. 10 Cardinals to a 62-28 victory indoors. The Orange (1-1) allowed a school-record 845 yards as Jackson scored four times on runs and threw for another in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.It was a tough loss, said Orange wideout Amba Etta-Tawo, who has 20 catches for 313 yards in two games. It was embarrassing. It hurt our pride a little bit, but were not going to tuck our tails between our legs and run away and try to hide because we lost one game.It doesnt matter that they scored 60 or that they scored one more point than us. A loss is a loss, Etta-Tawo said. We just have to shake it off, just like you have to shake off a win. Its not being rattled. Its just getting ready for Saturday.And for what Flowers, another dual-threat quarterback, brings to the field. He accounted for 403 of his teams 658 yards of total offense and was named American Athletic Conference offensive player of the week after a four-touchdown performance in a 48-17 win over Northern Illinois.Sound familiar?I think we saw what it looks like, first-year Syracuse coach Dino Babers said. We got the concentrated dose. Now, well get a version of that.The Bulls, who are chasing their first 3-0 start since 2011, are 4-0 in the Carrier Dome, those victories coming when both teams were in the Big East.Other things to know when South Florida plays Syracuse on Saturday:BETTER GET READY: Syracuse has averaged 87 snaps in its first two games with Babers new up-tempo attack, and its generated an average of 484 yards. Though Louisville won handily, the Orange aattack was stopped four times by injuries to Louisville players, which came when Syracuse was driving and elicited choruses of boos from the hometown fans who figured a dose of fakery was involved.dddddddddddd.We just have to make sure were sound when it comes to technique and fundamentals, USF coach Willie Taggart said. Our guys have to get the call and be able to line up. I think with this up-tempo stuff, thats where you get in trouble is when your guys dont line up.MIRROR IMAGE: USFs Gulf Coast offense also is fast and ranks 10th nationally in scoring at 50.2 points per game, the Bulls best start ever. USF is averaging 551 yards per game and has had eight TD drives of two minutes or less. The Bulls longest touchdown drive this season is 3:56.We just get better and better, said senior Darius Tice, who rushed for a career-high 120 yards last week.MACK ATTACK BACK: South Florida tailback Marlon Mack returns after missing the previous game while going through a concussion protocol. He suffered a tough hit against Towson in the season opener. Mack needs 251 yards to match USFs career rushing record of 2,731 yards, set by Andre Hall in 2005.DYNAMIC ORANGE DUO: Etta-Tawo, a redshirt senior, and junior wideout Ervin Philips each has 20 receptions. That tops the ACC and is tied for third nationally.
