England rallies late to defeat Croatia

GENEVA — England surged into the UEFA Nations League finals tournament on Sunday, and Belgium threw away its place in a stunning 5-2 loss at Switzerland.

On a day of come-from-behind wins and twisting fortunes for the World Cup's beaten semifinalists, England edged Croatia 2-1 to avenge defeat when the teams met in Russia in July.

England had to beat Croatia to advance over group leader Spain and trailed late, before Jesse Lingard levelled in the 78th and captain Harry Kane got the decisive goal in the 85th.

Thompson, Howell close with victories

NAPLES, Fla. — Lexi Thompson was the best this week, and Ariya Jutanugarn was the best all season. Neither left any doubt about that Sunday.

Thompson shot a 2-under 70 to finish at 18-under 270 and win the LPGA's season-ending CME Group Tour Championship by four strokes over Nelly Korda. The win makes this the sixth consecutive year that Thompson has won at least once, extending the longest such active streak on the LPGA Tour.

Jutanugarn took the other two big prizes up for grabs, clinching the yearlong Race to the CME Globe prize — and the $1 million bonus that comes with that.
