PSV have announced that they will compensate fans attending the second leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie at Arsenal on Wednesday.

The gesture comes in response to the Dutch side’s 7-1 drubbing in the first leg of the tie, leaving them with them a near-impossible task of reaching the quarterfinals.

Paying for the match tickets of their away contingnent at the Emirates Stadium will cost PSV upwards of €200,000 ($218,550).

“After the poor result at home last week, your support and presence are extra appreciated,” the club wrote in an email sent to the fans with a ticket.

PSV bounced back from the thrashing to Arsenal with a 2-1 win over Heerenveen on Saturday. The game marked the return of United States defender Sergiño Dest after a 11-month injury layoff.

IRVING, Texas — Texas Tech sophomore forward JT Toppin was selected by Big 12 coaches as the league’s best player and newcomer of the year in a vote revealed Monday, a day before the start of the 16-team league’s postseason tournament.

Toppin, a transfer from New Mexico, has 14 double-doubles and is the only Big 12 player who ranks top three in scoring (18.1 PPG) and rebounding (9.3 RPG). He is the first Big 12 player in the league’s 29 seasons to be voted by coaches as the top player and top newcomer in the same season.

Houston’s Kelvin Sampson was selected by his peers as the Big 12’s top coach. The second-ranked Cougars (27-4, 19-1 Big 12) have won the conference title in both seasons since joining the league, becoming the first program to join a major conference and win back-to-back regular-season titles since Idaho won the Pacific Coast Conference in the 1921-22 and 1922-23 seasons.

Houston forward Joseph Tugler was voted defensive player of the year and guard LJ Cryer the top scholar-athlete. Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe was voted the Big 12’s top freshman, BYU’s Richie Saunders was chosen as the league’s most improved player, and Curtis Jones of fifth-seeded Iowa State was voted the top sixth man.

Cryer, Jones, Saunders and Toppin joined Caleb Love of Arizona, Norchad Omier of Baylor, J’Wan Roberts of Houston, Hunter Dickinson of Kansas, Darrion Williams of Texas Tech and Javon Small of West Virginia on the coaches’ All-Big 12 first team.

The Big 12 Tournament begins Tuesday with four opening-round games. The championship game is Saturday.

Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has admitted the club “risk” falling further behind their rivals while they invest in their new stadium.

United announced plans on Tuesday to leave Old Trafford, their home for 115 years, and move into a new 100,000-capacity stadium.

The proposal includes an expected cost of around £2 billion ($2.59 billion), a significant strain on finances which are already stretched after posting losses of more than £300 million ($388.57 million) over the last three years.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur struggled to remain competitive on the pitch while they built new stadiums and Berrada accepts that money available to strengthen the squad may be impacted as the project is being financed.

“That is a risk,” he told reporters on Tuesday.

“Clearly it’s something we want to avoid. We don’t want to inhibit our ability to invest in the team, for us to continue being competitive while we are building a new stadium.”

Berrada confirmed that United will not be asking for taxpayer money to fund the stadium, but said the club are actively looking for investors.

The aim is to move into their new home in five years ahead of the 2030-31 season. Work could start before the end of the year, although Berrada said it would be “predicated on planning permission and how quickly the local authority can work.”

The United chief also explained how the club could announce ambitious plans for a new stadium just a day after co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said money would have run out by the end of 2025 without his wide-ranging cost-cutting measures.

“All the plans we’ve been putting in place over the last months really address the short-term issue, which is that the club was losing money,” said Berrada.

“Everything that we’re doing and a lot of these decisions are difficult and we hate to see people losing their jobs.

“Once we stop losing money, we then put ourselves in the best financial position to continue investing in our team and also to allow us to be able to have the ambition to build a new stadium.”

Despite a difficult start to Ruben Amorim’s tenure as head coach, Berrada said he would “love to open the new stadium with Ruben as a coach.”

The club have started work on their recruitment ahead of Amorim’s first summer window.

Berrada said there will be money to spend regardless of whether United qualify for Europe next season, but insisted players will not be signed solely to play in the Portuguese coach’s 3-4-3 system.

“When it comes to our recruitment strategy without commenting too much, but the idea we have is to be able to bring in versatile players that can be adaptable to multiple systems,” said Berrada.

“And ultimately Ruben himself has said it, it’s not about the 3-4-3 tactical formation, it’s about an idea, a concept of how he wants to see the team playing. He wants to see the team playing more on the front foot, more of a possession, attacking-based style of football.

“So for that, you need players that can play in multiple positions that can adapt to that vision that Ruben has. And this is what we’re going to try to do over the next years in our recruitment.”

Two-time champion Iga Swiatek continued her march at Indian Wells with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Karolina Muchova on Tuesday to reach the quarterfinals.

Swiatek, the former world No. 1, has only dropped six games since arriving at California desert event and shoved aside Muchova with a near-flawless performance, with just four errors against a dozen winners while never facing a break point.

Swiatek is aiming to become the first woman to win the 1000-level tournament three times, after serving a one-month suspension late last year for a failed drug test.

After waiting through a rain delay, Swiatek took immediate hold of the momentum, sprinting through the first four games and not dropping a first-serve point in the opening set.

Muchova, who enjoyed an inspired run to the US Open semifinal last year after recovering from wrist surgery, was unable to find her level in the second set as the mistakes piled up.

Swiatek closed it out in 57 minutes with an unreturnable serve to set up a meeting with either Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen of China or Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk, who meet later. American fourth seed Jessica Pegula is also scheduled to play Elina Svitolina on Tuesday night.

Rain forced the suspension of play shortly after Swiatek’s win.
