No. 18 Burlington girls' lacrosse erases a three-goal deficit in Division 2 victory over No. 15 Marshfield
'We did not stop, at all,' said Burlington senior CJ Tremblay. 'Even when we were down, we just kept fighting. We had a great fourth quarter. Everyone was putting their body on the line. That's all you can ask for in a game like this, especially with such a young team.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Tremblay, junior Ava Robitaille, and sophomore Emma Steiner paced Burlington with three goals apiece. Junior Mairin Condon made 12 saves, including a critical one with 22 seconds left, and fearless freshman Georgia Bilodeau battled on the draw with Marshfield junior Julia O'Brien all night. Advertisement Clara McGrath converts for Marshfield to trim Burlington's lead to 14-13 with 3:10 left — Trevor Hass (@TrevorHass) Junior Clara McGrath fueled the 15th-seeded Rams (12-7) with five goals, and senior Noelle Finucane tallied four. Marshfield, hosting its first non-preliminary-round tournament game in program history, displayed plenty of fight as well in a physical, well-played battle. 'Burlington is such a talented program,' said Marshfield coach Sabrina Santaniello. 'We were matched up pretty well for this. It just came down to literally the last 10 seconds. I'm proud of my team this entire season. What a ride. I'm proud of my seniors. I couldn't have asked for a better team this season.' Advertisement Marshfield led, 3-2, through 1, 8-6 at halftime, and 11-8 late in the third, behind a steady diet of Finucane and McGrath and well-timed cuts. Gabby Colozzi made it 11-9 through 3, then Robitaille notched three timely goals in the first six minutes of the fourth to vault the Red Devils in front, 14-12. McGrath added one more with 3:10 left before Condon and her teammates secured one final stop. Girls lacrosse final: Burlington 14, Marshfield 13 18th-seeded Red Devils storm back and outlast the 15th-seeded Rams in a thriller. Huge save from Mairin Condon late. A truly outstanding game — Trevor Hass (@TrevorHass) The Red Devils ran out the clock, with Steiner hoisting her stick in the air, letting out a scream, and joining her teammates for the celebration near the Burlington net. 'I told them to just keep playing our game,' said Burlington first-year coach Maddy Skiff. 'Be patient, do what we do best, work together. We did that, and we came out on top.' Burlington's Emma Steiner (No. 9) exults in her team's 14-13 victory over host Marshfield in a Division 2 girls' lacrosse matchup. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Burlington learned from close regular-season losses to Lexington, Bedford, North Andover, and Ipswich. The setbacks yielded a deceiving record, as this was not a typical No. 18 seed. Tremblay, whom Skiff described as 'one tough cookie,' said it was her favorite lacrosse game ever. 'Honestly, my mind went blank,' Tremblay said. 'It's just such an amazing feeling. As a senior, I don't have many games left, so I'm taking it all in, but it's the best one I could ask for.'

‘They do not care' – Fans can't believe what Bruno Fernandes tried while 1-0 down in potentially his last Man Utd game
Fernandes has been heavily linked with a £100m move to Saudi Arabia HEEL TURN 'They do not care' – Fans can't believe what Bruno Fernandes tried while 1-0 down in potentially his last Man Utd game BRUNO FERNANDES left Man Utd fans stunned with his attempt to get his side back into the game away to Hong Kong. With the Red Devils trailing 1-0, their captain was put through on goal with the chance to equalise. 4 Bruno Fernandes was through on goal Credit: MUTV 4 But then he tried to score with a rabona Credit: MUTV 4 Fernandes then won the ball back and played a pass to Rasmus Hojlund Credit: MUTV 4 But Hojlund lost the ball Credit: MUTV But he then attempted a rabona, which the goalkeeper saved with his leg. The Portugal star was then accused of "not caring" by supporters. One fan wrote: "Man United 1-0 down to Hong Kong and Bruno tries this… "They simply don't care!" And another posted: "Get rid of Bruno asap" And a third commented: "Ah man the level of arrogance from a team that finished 16th" But other fans were more annoyed with the actions of Rasmus Hojlund. That's because Fernandes did manage to retrieve the situation, control the ball again and play a pass to the striker, who was just outside the six-yard box. Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford But Hojlund failed to control the ball and saw it cleared by the Hong Kong defence. One fan commented: "I'm more interested in how Hojlund can't control a simple pass." Ruben Amorim bursts out laughing when asked about Man Utd star's future Another wrote: "Hojlunds first touch is that bad, his second touch is a tackle" And a third put: "That's embarrassing. They should be taking this seriously, I can't believe he has just tried to pass to Hojlund there." The incident could have ended up being an infamous end to Fernandes' Man Utd career as his agent reportedly held talks with Al Hilal this week. The Saudi side are looking to secure a £100m deal ahead of their Club World Cup campaign. And that could see Fernandes earn a tax-free £700,000-a-week, three-year deal worth £200m including bonuses. If the match in Hong Kong does turn up to be Fernandes' last for Man Utd, then his blushes were at least spared by his team-mates. Striker Chido Obi netted a second-half double before Ayden Heaven scored a late third to secure a 3-1 win.

Three matches and 8,000 air-miles later, weary United flops have finally concluded their campaign with medals around their necks. Having beaten Aston Villa 2-0 last Sunday, Ruben Amorim's men jetted straight to Malaysia, where they were subsequently embarrassed 1-0 by the hastily-put together ASEAN All-Stars.

The Saudi side are said to be willing to offer the Red Devils £100m for their captain and are readying a three-year tax-free deal worth around £200m. According to The Athletic, Fernandes is "seriously considering" making the move - with Al-Hilal wanting a quick response ahead of the Club World Cup. Asked about whether Fernandes will leave after picking him for today's kickabout with Hong Kong, boss Amorim claimed: "I don't think so. "I don't know for sure, nobody does. But I don't think so. "I think he wants to stay. He is saying no to a lot of things but it shows that he wants to win."
