Your Guardian sport weekend: F1 finale, the Ashes and Premier League

The article is a live blog of various sports events happening on Sunday. Here are some of the key points:

**Premier League**

* Brighton v West Ham: The Hammers bagged a creditable draw at Old Trafford, with Soungoutou Magassa claiming his maiden Premier League goal in the 83rd minute.
* Fulham v Crystal Palace: Fulham were unfortunate not to recover a point in their madcap 5-4 home defeat against Manchester City on Tuesday. Marco Silva's Thames-siders were trailing shortly after half-time only to thunder back with three goals of their own and spend the final 15 minutes rocking the City edifice in search of a late equaliser.

**Formula One**

* Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: The title drama plays out in a thrilling three-way tussle between Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton is facing the bleak prospect of a first season without a podium finish.
* Yuki Tsunoda's final outing for Red Bull will take place at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

**NFL**

* Pittsburgh Steelers v Baltimore Ravens: The AFC North crown is on the line in this must-win derby for Pittsburgh. The Steelers fell to 6-5 last time out, and a win would keep them in contention.
* Cincinnati Bengals v Buffalo Bills: The Bengals are beaten 26-20 by the Patriots in week 13 and will look to bounce back against the Bills.

**Women's Super League**

* Leicester City v Manchester City: Chelsea's recent draw with Liverpool has raised concerns about their title chances, but they remain undefeated at home this season.
* Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa: The Spurs' latest goal drought has been a major concern for manager Antonio Conte, and another defeat could be catastrophic.

**American Football**

* NFL clockwatch: Pittsburgh Steelers v Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals v Buffalo Bills.
 
Sunday Funday 😴... who thought that was a good idea? Alright, let's dive into the sports news. So Brighton beat West Ham 2-1 (I guess Soungoutou Magassa finally found his groove πŸŽ‰), Fulham had a wild time against City, scoring 3 goals in a 5-minute span... yeah, I'm sure that was totally normal πŸ˜‚. On the other hand, Lewis Hamilton is having a rough season and might not even get a podium finish πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. And don't even get me started on Yuki Tsunoda's last outing for Red Bull... πŸ™„

NFL fans are on the edge of their seats as Pittsburgh takes on Baltimore with the AFC North crown on the line πŸ’ͺ. I mean, who doesn't love a good derby? πŸ€” But seriously, can someone please explain to me why these games aren't happening on Monday morning? Can't we just have our sports news in one place instead of spreading it out like we're trying to drive ourselves crazy? 🀯 And lastly, the Women's Super League is still going strong with Chelsea and Manchester City leading the pack ⚽️. But let's be real, who cares about women's football when there are men's games to watch? πŸ™„
 
i dont think its fair to benhamilton he's had an incredible career but having a off year sucks. maybe the teams r just playing better than him or something πŸ€” i mean red bull is on fire this season and ferrari's been decent too so yeah maybe hes gonna get his podiums back πŸ’¨
 
omg what's going on with lewis hamilton lol is he really gonna miss out on the championship? 🀯πŸ’₯ that yuki tsunoda guy sounds like a cool underdog story tho! πŸ±πŸ‘ i feel bad for pittsburgh steelers though, they gotta win this one or risk losing the afc north title πŸ†πŸ˜¬
 
I'm not getting the hype around this Formula One season. Three teams battling it out? It's just too much for me πŸ™„... I mean, what's next? The whole league being like a soap opera? πŸ˜‚ Anyway, Lewis Hamilton is in trouble? That's gonna be interesting to watch. Not sure if he can turn his game around after a few seasons without a podium finish. On the other hand, Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda is ending his season early 🚫... feels like too much drama for one guy. Give me some consistency and solid performances any day πŸ™
 
Sunday Funday πŸˆπŸ‰ is always lit πŸ’₯! I'm loving the drama in the Premier League right now - Brighton's Soungoutou Magassa just scored his first goal and West Ham got a solid draw at Old Trafford πŸ™Œ. But, man, Fulham's losses are getting crazy 😩 Marco Silva needs to figure out what's going on with that team ASAP! πŸ’‘

And can we talk about Lewis Hamilton's season already? 🀯 He's facing a tough road to recovery after missing the podium in Japan 🚨. Fingers crossed for him and Mercedes, though - they're gonna need all the luck they can get ⚑️.

NFL on Sunday is gonna be EPIC πŸ”₯! The Steelers vs Ravens game is going to be a real nail-biter, especially since Pittsburgh's playoff hopes are on the line 🀯. And, Bengals vs Bills? That one's got some serious potential for an upset πŸ€‘ - we might see some fireworks in Cincinnati this weekend πŸ’₯!
 
man, sunday's gonna be lit... or not, who knows? πŸ€” the premier league is just trying to decide who's gonna finish last, lol. fulham's got some serious issues after that 5-4 meltdown against man city. and on the other hand, west ham managed a draw at old Trafford which is no small feat πŸ˜…. formula one's just throwing its title contenders under the bus at this point. lewis hamilton's in a bit of a pickle if he wants to salvage his season 🀯. nfl's just trying to see who can put up the most points. pittsburgh steelers need to win or they're done, but i'm not counting them out... yet 😏. women's super league is just trying to decide who gets to be champions, but leicester city looks like a safe bet at home ⚽️. and american football? well, let's just say the nfl season's already half over πŸ•°οΈ.
 
πŸ€” I'm not sure how realistic it is that Yuki Tsunoda is retiring from Red Bull already... seems a bit sudden considering he's still pretty young πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ.
 
Man, the football world is like my Aunt Mildred's gossip circle - everyone's got an opinion, but nobody's really sure what's going on 🀣. I mean, Lewis Hamilton's season is on the line and he's facing a podium-less future? That's like me showing up to a party without any snacks πŸ˜‚. On a serious note though, it's gonna be intense at Abu Dhabi - Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari are all gunning for that title. And can we talk about Yuki Tsunoda's final outing for Red Bull? Like, is he going out with a bang or just a whimper πŸŽ₯? Anyway, gotta keep an eye on the Premier League too, especially Brighton v West Ham - I mean, who doesn't love watching Soungoutou Magassa score his first goal? πŸ†
 
man, lewis hamilton's in trouble lol, 1st season without a podium finish? thats crazy 🀯 i still got love for him tho, he's been thru so much in his career. and can we talk about yuki tsunoda's retirement? what happened to the kid? πŸ™ red bull needs to give him another shot, he was doin it right πŸ’ͺ anyway, back to f1... mercedes is gonna crush it like they always do πŸ‘Š but the drama with max verstappen and charles leclerc is gettin old, can't we all just get along? πŸ˜’
 
πŸ€” I'm thoroughly intrigued by the Premier League's unpredictable nature, where an 83rd-minute goal can suddenly shift the momentum in favor of the underdog. It's fascinating to see how Marco Silva's tactics can yield such dramatic results, as was seen in Fulham's wild comeback against Manchester City. πŸ†

On a separate note, I find it captivating to observe the Formula One drivers vying for the title, particularly with Yuki Tsunoda making his final appearance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It's almost surreal watching Lewis Hamilton facing the possibility of a first season without a podium finish.

It's also fascinating to see how football can transcend geographical boundaries, as we witness teams like Leicester City and Chelsea battling it out in the Women's Super League. The competition is heating up, and I'm eager to see which team will emerge victorious! πŸ†
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Premier League schedule...back in my day we used to have these massive midweek fixtures that'd go on till 2 am and you'd just be like "fudge it, I'll watch it again tomorrow"...nowadays they're playing all these matches on Sundays? It's a bit too much, if you ask me.
 
man, it's insane how the teams are all fighting for different titles now 🀯 like what even is the Premier League anymore? is it just a bunch of teams trying to make some noise in jan ? and in the NFL, pittsburgh steeler's must-win attitude is so admirable lol. but honestly can't we just get some decent goal scoring from that women's super league already?
