With five games remaining, BBC Sport looks at which side is most likely to take the third relegation spot.

There had never been a unanimous NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Until now.Victor Wembanyama as expected was announced Monday as the league's top defensive player. The San Antonio center was second in the voting for DPOY as a rookie, was the favorite last season until a medical condition ended his season prematurely, then left no doubt this year.At 22, he's the youngest winner of the award.The real struggle might have been getting to 65 games, Wembanyama said referring to the number he needed for award eligibility on NBC Sports Network. But Im super, super happy to win this award and actually super proud to be the first-ever unanimous.Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren was second and Detroit's Ausar Thompson was third after both helped their teams secure No. 1 seeds for the playoffs. But this was never in doubt, not after the 7-foot-4 or maybe taller Wembanyama led the NBA in blocked shots for a third consecutive season and generally terrorized opponents any time they wanted to score.Best player in the world, Spurs forward Keldon Johnson said.The NBA will continue its award announcements Tuesday when the Clutch Player of the Year either Minnesota's Anthony Edwards, Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Denver's Jamal Murray is revealed. Wembanyama is also a finalist for MVP, with the winner of that trophy not set to be revealed until next week at the earliest.First, the league got this announcement out of the way. And Wembanyama's win was accompanied by a slew of milestones. Every other winner of the award had been at least 23. Wembanyama doesn't turn 23 until next January. The Spurs became the first franchise with four players to win DPOY, which was first handed out in the 1982-83 season. The others? Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1992 and Kawhi Leonard in 2015 and 2016. Wembanyama joins Robinson and Michael Jordan as the only players to win both Rookie of the Year and DPOY.Ive had the chance to have great coaches over my career who have taught me great habits on defense, Wembanyama said.The biggest accomplishment may be this: Wemby got every voter to agree.Golden State's Stephen Curry was the unanimous MVP in 2016 and in the 10 seasons that have followed, there have been only two instances of a player collecting 100% of the first-place votes for an award.Those were Wembanyama for Rookie of the Year in 2024, and now this.No player in at least the last 50 seasons and maybe ever, since it's hard to say with certainty because some full voting results for awards handed out generations ago are not known publicly has won two major individual awards unanimously.It's the 10th known unanimous pick in any vote for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, DPOY or Coach of the Year. And some of biggest names, including LeBron James and Michael Jordan, never won a major award unanimously.I feel like he is one of the hardest workers that Ive ever been around, Johnson said. He takes his craft very seriously. I feel like this is just a small token of whats to come for Victor. Hes a special player now. Hes a special player on the court and even more special person off the court as well. This is just a small token, small flowers thats given to him for Defensive Player of the Year.Holmgren and Thompson both got votes for the first time; a panel of reporters and broadcasters who cover the league were asked to pick their top three in the category, with ballots due last week before the playoffs started.Minnesotas Rudy Gobert a four-time DPOY winner was fourth, followed, in order, by Torontos Scottie Barnes, Bostons Derrick White, Oklahoma Citys Cason Wallace, Houstons Amen Thompson, Atlantas Dyson Daniels and New Yorks OG Anunoby.There was a three-way tie for 11th between Detroits Jalen Duren, Golden States Draymond Green the 2017 winner and Miamis Bam Adebayo.Wembanyama is an MVP finalist (along with Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning MVP, and three-time winner Nikola Jokic of Denver), which almost certainly means he'll be an All-NBA first-team selection. And the DPOY win means he'll also be on the All-Defensive team, so the Frenchman is assured of no fewer than four trophies from this year's award season.We often overlook the team aspect, Wembanyama said. Im sitting here. I happen to be the guy whos put in the spotlight, but I am part of a system and I couldnt get this award and I couldnt do what I do if it wasnt for my teammates ... and my coaching staff.___AP freelance writer Raul Dominguez contributed to this report.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba

The Magpies find themselves 14th in the Premier League table a season after they qualified for the Champions League. They are still in contention to qualify for Europe in some form next season.

Bryson DeChambeaus mind was allegedly elsewhere at Augusta National earlier this month with the LIV superstar reportedly exploring his options if he were to leave the breakaway league at years end.

Motorsport photoIn hindsight, Denny Hamlin wishes he would not have let Kyle Larson force him three-wide middle on the final restart on Sunday at Kansas Speedway. Of course, if he could do it all over again, he also would likely have restarted on the outside as well.That was the overall sentiment from Hamlin on Monday during the latest episode of his Actions Detrimental podcast, one in which he feels everything went against him in a race that looked like his to lose.He had just retaken the lead from Tyler Reddick with four laps to go and was half a lap away from taking the white flag when Cody Ware spun due to a flat tire. Then, he simply got beat on the restart but factors both in and out of his control.Read Also:How the NASCAR Cup race at Kansas was won and lostTyler Reddick is doing Dale Earnhardt things after Kansas Cup winEven during the restart, Hamlin feels like he would have had a shot at winning if not for Tyler Reddick putting Christopher Bell into the wall and into his path.Like, of the Reddick contact with Bell doesnt happen, and I dont get (driven) all the way down to the apron Kyle (Larsons) car was so bad those last two laps, Hamlin said. Thats what happens (extreme tight balance) when you put on (right sides) and have really old lefts. Thats why it looked like Tyler was superman. I thought I was going to be three-wide with (Larson and Reddick) entering turn three because of the run I got on the top.As far as Larson taking him three-wide going into Turn 1, he wants a redo on that too.I know, because I've been there before, that (Larson) is not going to push, Hamlin said. He's going to try to get everything he can to go three-wide and Ive just got to drive him down to the apron. If you want to go three-wide, you have to go to the middle, and this is just a forewarning. If this happens again, he's going to have to go the middle. I will not let him. I will run to the apron or keep him on the apron next time. I will not get beat low at this racetrack again.So then, the fair and obvious question is why did Hamlin choose the bottom over the top as the control car driver. The data suggests the best restarts come from the bottom but that expects a push from behind that Larson was never going to give in that scenario.Should have, I should have, as strong as I know my cars are on the top on mile-and-a-half tracks, I absolutely should have started at the top, no matter what, Hamlin said. I could hold more throttle than everyone else.So again, why didnt he?The bottom is the preferred line, Hamlin said. The bottom wins by the numbers. The data says the bottom.Just not on the final restart as it turns out.People are not content pushing anymore, Hamlin said. Everyone is just going to go for themselves. And that's where you have to just throw the numbers out.Ultimately, Hamlin was extra disappointed because he knows next season is his final season, and this now makes two wins that got away from him in 2026 -- Martinsville and Kansas.I took this one a little tougher because I just want to capitalize, Hamlin said. Ive only got 60 races left and I just want to get these wins when I should be winning and its just not happening.It was the loose wheel at the end of Martinsville and a lot of stuff thats not going great in the luck category or the creating your own luck category, which is what I chalk this up to.Read Also:Five open entries set to compete over final four spots on Talladega Cup grid Cleetus McFarland to make second NASCAR O'Reilly start at Nashville next monthDaniel Dye to make NASCAR Cup debut at Talladega as part of four-race dealTo read more Motorsport.com articles visit our website.
