NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak scored as Newcastle secured its third straight Premier League win by beating Burnley 2-0 on Saturday. The win extended Newcastle’s unbeaten run to five games in all competitions as Eddie Howe’s team appears to have put its difficult start to the season behind it. Burnley, meanwhile, is still waiting for its first win in the Premier League after earning promotion back to the top flight last season. Almiron’s second goal in a week set Newcastle up for a third-successive win in the league — including an 8-0 rout at Sheffield United — after losing three of its first four games at the start of the campaign. His 14th-minute strike was followed by Isak’s penalty in the 76th at St. James’ Park. But for the efforts of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford and some sub-standard finishing, the margin of Newcastle’s victory might have been even bigger. Trafford was beaten after Kieran Trippier dispossessed Aaron Ram...Bayer Leverkusen delivers a lesson in efficiency with 3-0 win over Mainz in Bundesliga

More than a third of all Massachusetts municipalities have had a change in their chief election official or town clerk since the 2020 presidential election, a transition rate that has left the secretary of state concerned as an increasingly intense 2024 election barrels closer.The turnover means many officials will likely take on a presidential election for the first time as the top boss in charge of administering ballots, polls, and counting votes. The apparent brain drain is not isolated to Massachusetts — national statistics have shown an exodus of clerks or chief election officers.Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said 128 of the 351 cities and towns have had a change in their local clerk or chief election official — 49 of the 128 have changed since the 2022 election. Of the 128 who have departed, 109 retired or lost reelection, five died, and 14 took other jobs as an assistant or clerk in another community, Galvin said.Galvin said the format for a state election i...Patriots downgrade two starters to out ahead of Cowboys game
