Gloria storm endangers Argeles-sur-Mer coast: In the Pyrénées-Orientales, the town of Argelès-sur-Mer is particularly affected by the Gloria storm. The mayor asked everyone to be very careful.

Storm Gloria swept the beach. In Argelès-sur-Mer, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, tons of sand invaded the streets of Racou. The neighborhood has emptied of its inhabitants. The municipal team comes every day to monitor the levels. A hundred people live year-round in these typical sheds, they were all asked to vacate on Monday, January 20, because it is impossible to protect this particularly exposed neighborhood. "Each year we make a sand dune to prevent storms, but this time, as it is exceptional, the dune has been washed away," explains Antoine Casanovas, deputy mayor of Argelès-sur-Mer.

Manchester City and Laporte win at Sheffield United

For his return to competition, almost five months after his last match, Aymeric Laporte participated in the narrow Manchester City Championship victory on the lawn of Sheffield United (1-0).

In the 78th minute of the game, Aymeric Laporte was replaced by Garcia. Leaving the field, the central defender from Manchester City was hugged by Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City. The latter was impatiently awaiting the return of the Frenchman, injured in one knee since August 31. Titular yesterday on the lawn of Sheffield United (1-0), the excellent promoted who occupies the first part of the classification, Aymeric Laporte (25 years) lived a rather quiet evening, little annoyed by the opposing attackers.

Missed penalty for Jesus

On the other hand, the players of City had all the trouble in the world to come to grips with the local solid, very aggressive, committing numerous faults, sometimes very large. The Citizens should have opened the scoring in the first period but ran into the firm hands of Dean Henderson, the English goalkeeper from Sheffield, loaned for the second season by Manchester United. In the 20th, he first won ahead of Sterling after excellent work by Mahrez. Then he repelled an attempt by Otamendi, alone on a corner. And in the 35th, he shone again, this time by repelling a penalty kick struck by Gabriel Jesus, penalty awarded after a foul on Mahrez.

After the break, Manchester City obviously retained control of the ball but could not get closer to Henderson's goal. It was not until the 63rd and a brilliant pass from De Bruyne to see Agüero, the best foreign goalscorer in the history of the Premier League, who had just entered the game in place of the very disappointing Jesus deceive the excellent Henderson. This narrow success allows City to consolidate its second place in the standings while waiting for the Leicester match which will be pitted against West Ham tomorrow night.
