The Brazilian is back in the goals. Joao Pedro ended his run of four games without a goal for Chelsea as they took a 1-0 lead in Tuesday’s Champions League tie with Atalanta. Pedro had drawn a blank in Premier League games with Burnley, Arsenal, Leeds United and Bournemouth, but broke the deadlock in the 25th minute in Bergamo. Atalanta had made much of the early running, with Gianluca Scamacca and Marten de Roon going close for the hosts in the 19th minute. But six minutes later Pedro rediscovered his goalscoring touch when he latched onto Reece James’ low ball…

As this system moves east, it could bring snow from the Midwest into the Northeast. With cold air forecast along the I-95 corridor, including Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, the first significant snow of the season is…

With the tax-free money in a health savings account, a person can pay for eyeglasses or medical exams, as well as a $1,700 baby bassinet or a $300 online parenting workshop.
