December 23, 2021 Icardi Salvages Late Point For PSG As Sergio Ramos Gets Sent Off In Second Appearance

Icardi Salvages Late Point For PSG As Sergio Ramos Gets Sent Off In Second Appearance

Mauro Icardi salvaged a point for 10-man Paris St-Germain against Lorient, away from home.

Icardi scored in injury time for the Ligue 1 leaders, heading in a dinked cross from the byline by Achraf Hakimi, only minutes after Sergio Ramos was handed his marching orders for a second bookable offence.

Lorient, who are currently 19th in the table, took the lead five minutes before halftime when Thomas Monconduit's strike deflected in off the crossbar.

Angel Di Maria had previously squandered a decent opportunity early in the second half by firing from over eight yards. Argentina striker Lionel Messi also had a shot stopped by Nardi, with the forward firing another attempt just wide.

Ramos was sent off for the 27th time in his career in only his second game for PSG after signing on a free transfer in the summer after his Real Madrid contract expired.

He was introduced as a substitute at the start of the second half, but was immediately booked for a high boot in the 81st minute, and then received his second yellow card five minutes later for intentionally obstructing Terem Moffi as he attempted to charge towards goal.

Mauricio Pochettino's PSG have only lost five of their 19 league games this season, and they are 13 points ahead of Nice in second place.

Eight-time champions Liverpool fought back from 2-0 and 1-3 down to draw the game at 3-3 before beating Leicester 5-4 on penalties in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

The Merseyside Reds have not won the competition since 2012.

Arsenal, who defeated Sunderland 5-1 on Tuesday, had lost three League Cup finals since their previous success in 1993.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had an intense touchline exchange when the two teams met in the Premier League on November 20 at Anfield. The match ended in a 4-0 victory for the Reds.

The match between Chelsea and Spurs is a rematch of the 2015 final, which Chelsea won 2-0 at Wembley.

Chelsea beat Brentford 2-0 on Wednesday, while Tottenham beat West Ham 2-1.

Tottenham hasn't won a major trophy since defeating Chelsea in the 2008 final by a score of 2-1.

Both semi-finals will be contested over two legs, the first of which will take place the week of January 3, 2022.

The final will be held at Wembley Stadium on February 27th, with the deciding legs taking place in the week beginning January 10th.

Nigeria Loses N499.29bn As Twitter Ban Hits 200 Days

The Nigerian economy has incurred N499.29bn losses since the microblogging app, Twitter, was shut down by the Federal government on June 4, 2021.

According to the NetBlocks Cost of Shutdown Tool, Nigeria’s economy loses N104.02m ($250,600) every hour to the ban on Twitter. It has been 4,800 hours (200 days) since the social networking site was blocked.

The Federal Government on June 4 announced the suspension of Twitter after the social media platform deleted a tweet by President Buhari. The suspension came with a directive to telecommunication companies to block access to Twitter for their subscribers.

While giving his Independence Day speech, Buhari hinted that the ban would continue until Twitter registered in Nigeria, had a physical presence, and representation. Recently, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, said Twitter had agreed to the nation’s conditions for the suspension to be lifted.

OnlyFans Founder, Tim Stokely, Steps Down As CEO

OnlyFans founder, Tim Stokely, has stepped down as chief executive.

He will be immediately succeeded by Amrapali “Ami" Gan, the company said on Tuesday, Dec. 21.

Gan was most recently the chief marketing and communications officer for OnlyFans and will now "assume the day-to-day leadership" of the London-based company from Stokely, who is leaving to "pursue new endeavors," OnlyFans said.

Stokely will remain on as an adviser to assist with the leadership transition.

Stokely said in a statement: "Ami has a deep passion for OnlyFans’ business and I’m passing the baton to a friend and colleague who has the vision and drive to help the organisation reach its tremendous potential.

"OnlyFans is still a new company and Ami brings a fresh energy and reflects who we are as a business."

Stokely founded OnlyFans in 2016 and the creator-focused subscription service has since become most well-known for allowing sex workers and other adult content creators to charge fans for content.

Gan has been with OnlyFans since 2020. She previously led communications and marketing for Quest Nutrition and Cannabis Cafe, a cannabis restaurant in West Hollywood.

In a statement, Gan said she was committed to making OnlyFans the "safest social media platform in the world."

"I look forward to continuing to work closely with our creator community to help them maximize control over, and monetise, their content," Gan said. "I will be leading an exceptionally talented team at OnlyFans that is delivering a unique experience for our creators and fans."
