United fell to a club record 16th Premier League defeat with a starting lineup that had an average age of just 22 to remain in 15th place while the victory boosted Brentford's European hopes as they moved up to ninth. United cannot finish in the top half of the table anymore but Amorim said he rested his senior players for Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg, where they lead Athletic Bilbao 3-0. \"We as a club we need to understand in this moment we have a big responsibility. We have to prepare a squad for different competitions,\" Amorim said in a post-match interview. \"I have no doubt that we are playing better. So we have to take all the heat. At this moment we are losing games in the Premier League. We are fighting for the Europa League and Thursday is the most important game for us. \"It is good for the players that everyone is playing. We want to be competitive. It is really hard, but we are doing the best we can.\" United have put all their eggs in the Europa League basket as winning the competition is their only chance of qualifying for the Champions League. But Amorim said his squad is not yet ready to compete next season. \"We are not ready to play Premier League competitively and be in the Champions League, but we need to win and we need to win this competition to give something to our fans,\" he added. \"Then we will have time to prepare the team to cope with those two competitions.\" Midfielder , who scored his first goal of the season, said winning the Europa League was the \"most important thing\" as the campaign draws to a close. \"The season we've had in the Premier League is something we need to look at massively,\" he said. \"But if we can get into the final and win that, it's a positive end to the season.\"",

Kane, 31, could have earned his first winner's medal on Saturday had Bayern won at in the striker's absence; he watched on from the stands as he for picking up his fifth yellow card of the season the week before. But a from Leipzig's kept the champagne on ice. Bayern's title win was eventually confirmed on Sunday when second-place fell to a 2-2 draw at Freiburg, meaning they could no longer mathematically better Bayern's 76-point total with two matches remaining. Leverkusen's draw ends Kane's run of playing 694 matches for club and country without having a single trophy to show for his efforts. Kane posted a trophy emoji on a black background on his minutes after Bayern's title win was confirmed and then of him celebrating and singing \"We Are the Champions\" before being doused with champagne. He then shared a video of him singing Queen's 1977 hit \"We Are the champions.\" The perennial German champions relinquished their stranglehold on the competition last season when Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen lifted the and Bayern failed to win a piece of silverware for the first time in a decade. But Vincent Kompany's side have been frontrunners for much of this campaign. Kane's failure to collect a trophy during his storied career had delighted rival fans and fostered talk of a trophy \"curse.\" He had repeatedly come within touching distance of ending his drought. Kane has lost a Champions League final and two finals with , two European Championship finals with and a German Super Cup final on his Bayern debut last season. The captain joined Bayern from boyhood club Spurs in 2023 and is on track to become the first player to end his first two Bundesliga seasons as the competition's top scorer. Widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of his generation, Kane had already won a hatful of individual awards as England's all-time top scorer; he also ranks second on the Premier League's career scoring list. His move to six-time European champions Bayern was all about finally adding trophies to those goal-scoring records. Kane, who two weeks ago broke a league record with his 60th goal in his first 60 league games for Bayern, netted 36 times in his debut season and has 24 goals so far this term. The Bavarians, who all gathered in Munich to watch Leverkusen's game together, will be presented with the league trophy on Saturday in their last home game of the season against Borussia Monchengladbach.",

      • "description": "Ahead of Sunday's Miami GP, Lego turned 4 million bricks into life-size F1 cars for the drivers' parade.",
      • "content": "MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- It sounds like a 10-year-old's wildest dream: Take nearly 400,000 Lego bricks and build a life-size car capable of completing a lap of the Miami Grand Prix circuit. The ambitious idea came about last year as the Danish company's senior management was visiting its model production factory in Kladno, Czechia. Tasked with dreaming up ideas to promote Lego's recently signed partnership with F1, the leadership team had its \"what if?\" moment. \"We were talking and we were brainstorming together and saying, 'What could we do with F1 that would be completely epic and beyond anything we've done before?'\" Julia Goldin, chief product and marketing officer of the Lego Group, told ESPN in Miami. \"And so then the team came back and said, 'Well, what about full-size cars and what about drivable cars?' So it took a while because, of course, it's a great idea, but can you really make it happen? But that was very much the process.\" Senior designer Jonathan Jurion and engineering manager specialist Martin Šmida were given the task of making the vision a reality. The goal: accurately reproduce life-size versions of the latest range of Speed Champions Lego F1 cars that not only look faithful to the product on sale in shops but are also capable of completing a full 3.3-mile lap of the Miami International Autodrome during F1's traditional prerace drivers' parade. Lego has a long history of building accurate life-size models of various products for its parks, but up until the F1 project, only one of its full-size cars had been drivable. That's partly because 400,000 Lego bricks, even when held together with special construction glue, remain somewhat fragile, but also because a drivable car would require a steel-frame chassis, an electric drivetrain, hydraulic brakes and a power steering system. And then there was another challenge presented by the Miami project: Only one car would be built per team, meaning each model would have to be big enough to accommodate two F1 drivers. Speaking to ESPN in Kladno earlier this year, Jurion held one of the Speed Champions models in the palm of his hand as he explained the process of scaling the 1/30th toy car up to a life-size construction. \"So we started with this little build, trying to remodel it so it fits two minifigures,\" he said. \"Obviously a minifigure is not the same proportions as a human, but that was the start. \"We then take that design and try to upscale it, so [the fully built life-size car] is a 30-times upscale of the original model you can buy in shops. And then we try to go piece by piece, design each part and try to make it look as faithful to that as possible.\" In order to keep the build to the correct proportions while accommodating two drivers, the cockpit area was elongated so that one driver could sit between the legs of his teammate. (Who gets to sit up front in each car will be an interesting insight into the dynamics between teammates up and down the grid.) \"So we actually got inspired by an airplane design for two people, so they are sitting in tandem one behind the other,\" Jurion said. \"They will be pretty cramped in there, but we think that we tried to do the biggest space possible for them to be inside.\" Šmida, who was in charge of the construction of the car's mechanical underpinnings, is proud of an additional feature to make the ride slightly more comfortable for the driver at the controls. \"We have the space for two, and because we don't know if the driver is smaller or taller, we have movable pedals,\" he said. \"These pedals have the possibility to move 10 centimeters back and 10 centimeters forward.\" Unlike Lego sets sold in shops, there was no instruction manual when the project first started. Working with his team of designers, Jurion used special software to map out the assembly of the bricks in layers to create the right shapes to mimic F1 body parts while incorporating specific team sponsor names in Lego form. \"We build bricks in the software as you would build bricks at home, but this is a different scale, so we lay them down layer by layer, like you would build a house, for example,\" Jurion explained. \"And then when we're finished, we prepare a manual, like you get in a set in the shop, for our builders. And they go layer by layer, gluing the bricks until we have these wonderful cars. \"We build the models in separate chunks, so the engine cover is one part, the halo is another, the nose is another part, and then it gets all assembled together.\" The wheels and tires of the cars, on loan from the teams and F1 tire supplier Pirelli, are the only visible parts of the construction not made from genuine Lego bricks. Even the steering wheel has an outer casing assembled from Lego, complete with switches and dials to look like the real thing. The 400,000 bricks alone weigh 1,000 kilograms, while the non-Lego parts, including the chassis supporting the structure, add an additional 500 kg. In total, that adds up to 1,500kg -- or just under two times the weight of a real F1 car. Šmida's primary responsibility was to make sure the finished cars were up to the task of completing the lap under their own power. The chassis not only had to be strong enough to support a ton of bricks (quite literally) but also house an electric motor and drivetrain capable of powering the whole construction to a maximum speed of just under 13 mph -- a number roughly in line with the speed of the flatbed truck used for standard driver parades at other circuits. In total, the project required 3,000 hours of development time and a further 19,000 hours of assembly time to build all 10 cars. After the drivers' parade in Miami, the models will go on a worldwide tour so both Lego and F1 fans can marvel at them. Perhaps the hardest task of all for Goldin and her leadership team is to think of a way to up the game for Lego's next F1 project. \"That's the question that everybody is asking,\" Goldin said. \"And we're asking ourselves that question. \"But, you know, one of the things that we pride ourselves on is to never let our imagination be in any way constrained by what is considered possible. It's always: Let's make the impossible possible. And I'm confident that the creativity of our teams will bring another, even more challenging idea to the table.\"",

Last month, Abbas lashed out at Hamas “ ” and demanded the group surrender and release all captives held in Gaza, accusing it of giving Israel a pretext to continue its onslaught on Gaza. At least 52,535 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's war on Gaza since October 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli strikes killed 40 people and injured 125, bringing the total number of wounded to 118,491.",

      • "content": "Сотрудники британской службы по борьбе с терроризмом взяли под стражу несколько иранцев, подозреваемых в подготовке теракта на неназванном объекте в Лондоне. Это подтвердила в воскресенье столичная полиция. Аресты были произведены в субботу в разных частях Англии. Пятеро мужчин в возрасте от 29 до 46 лет были задержаны по подозрению в подготовке \"террористического акта\". Четверо из задержанных являются гражданами Ирана, в то время как выяснение личности и гражданства пятого еще продолжается. Все пятеро в настоящее время допрашиваются в полицейских участках, официальные обвинения им не предъявлены. Следователи также проводят обыски по адресам в Лондоне, Манчестере и Суиндоне. Власти заявили, что предполагаемый заговор был направлен на определённый объект, местоположение которого не разглашается \"по оперативным соображениям\". Доминик Мерфи, возглавляющий Контртеррористическое командование, сказал, что полиция все еще пытается определить мотивы предполагаемого заговора, а также то, существует ли какая-либо постоянная опасность для общества. Полиция также сообщила, что ещё трое иранцев в возрасте 39, 44 и 55 лет были арестованы в Лондоне в рамках другого расследования, связанного с созданием возможной угрозы национальной безопасности. Министр внутренних дел Великобритании Иветт Купер назвала эти аресты суровым напоминанием о необходимости сохранять бдительность перед лицом меняющихся вызовов безопасности. Купер сказала, что это \"серьёзные события, которые демонстрируют постоянную необходимость адаптации мер реагирования на угрозы национальной безопасности\". Она добавила: \"Правительство продолжает работать с полицией и разведывательными службами, чтобы поддержать все действия и оценки безопасности, необходимые для сохранения страны в безопасности\". Хотя прямая связь с Ираном в основном деле не установлена, агентство внутренней безопасности MI5 предупредило о растущей угрозе со стороны лиц или операций, связанных с Тегераном. В своем заявлении в октябре прошлого года глава MI5 Кен Маккаллум сообщил, что с 2022 года службы безопасности сорвали 20 \"потенциально смертоносных\" заговоров, связанных с Ираном, многие из которых были направлены против диссидентов, проживающих в Великобритании. Он также предупредил, что рост напряженности на Ближнем Востоке может стать причиной новых враждебных действий со стороны Ирана в Великобритании. В марте 2024 года Пуриа Зераати - ведущий персидскоязычного канала, критикующий руководство Ирана, - был зарезан возле своего дома в Лондоне. Двое подозреваемых в нападении были позже выслежены и арестованы в Румынии. Национальный уровень террористической угрозы в Великобритании остаётся на уровне \"существенный\", что означает вероятность нападения.",

      • "description": "Parents are being advised to watch out for signs of dehydration in their young ones as temperatures rise.",
      • "content": "The UK's higher than average temperatures and mini- heatwave in recent days will have sent many to bask on one of Britain's beaches. While many enjoy the warmer, sunnier weather, it also comes with the usual warnings about applying suncream and keeping yourself hydrated whether at home or abroad. This is especially important for babies and children, who are at greater risk of becoming dehydrated. That's according to Dr Catherine Hyatt from the online pharmacy, Med Express . She told HuffPost UK : \"Spotting dehydration in a child on holiday requires careful observation of various symptoms and signs. \"Babies and children are more at risk of dehydration, so it is even more important to look out for this and act quickly if you’re worried.\" The doctor listed seven signs that parents will want to be mindful of to protect their youngsters from dehydration. An early sign of dehydration is feeling thirstier. Dryness on the lips and inside the mouth is a second indicator. Another symptom Dr Hyatt warns of is a change in a child's behaviour. If a child becomes more irritable or lethargic, this too can be a sign of dehydration. Sunken eyes and fontanelles - the soft spot between the bones of a baby or infant's skull - are a fourth sign. Rapid breathing and a faster heartbeat can also tell you that a child or baby is dehydrated. As can dark yellow wee and less of it. Lastly, a child's skin might become less elastic, and he or she may produce fewer or no tears when they cry, according to Dr Hyatt. She said that immediate medical attention should be sought if a child displays signs of confusion, dizziness or fainting, which can suggest severe cases of their being dehydrated. To prevent a child becoming dehydrated, make sure they drink lots of fluids, most especially water. Some foods can also increase hydration because of their high water content. These include melon, strawberries, peaches, oranges and pineapple. According to the NHS, dehydration can happen more easily if you have diabetes, sickness or diarrhoea as well as being in the sun too long. It can also result from drinking too much alcohol, sweating a lot after exercising, having a high temperature and taking medicines which make you pee more.",

      • "content": "BBC snooker pundit Ken Doherty said that he hasn’t forgiven Zhao Xintong after the World Championship finalist beat him over a decade ago. The Chinese potter is the youngest player to reach the Crucible showpiece in 14 years and his takeover has been brewing for some time. Aside from an opening-round tie with Shaun Murphy at the UK Championship , Zhao has been playing his first professional matches of the season in Sheffield. He is an amateur playing, having served a 20-month ban following a match-fixing investigation , but previously won the UK Championship in 2021 and has been a promising talent for several years. As a part of snooker’s boom in China, a series of exhibitions were organised and top professionals were pitted against some of the country’s biggest talents. That included Zhao, who played against Ronnie O’Sullivan , Steve Davis , Williams and Doherty, as the BBC put a photo of the two finalists against each other on air, taken when Zhao was just 13. He beat both Williams and Doherty, as BBC host Hazel Irvine explained the throwback image: “An absolutely stellar start from Zhao Xintong, it’s his fifth century of the Championship and it has put us in mind of some previous events over the years. This has actually been posted by Victoria Shi who looks after Zhao Xintong at the Victoria Shi snooker academy. “The first time they (Zhao and Mark Williams) met? An exhibition organised for Mark in China, Xintong won 2-1, making a century break and he was 13. Gentleman (Davis and Doherty), you both suffered at his hand when he was a teenager too.” Doherty then replied, jokingly claiming that he still holds a grudge over the matter: “I know and I haven’t forgiven him since. But even at that age you could see what a prodigious and ferocious talent he was going to turn out to be and he has proven that. And how well he played in that frame, how gracious, he is full of grace when he moves around the table. The first time they met ?????? An exhibition we organised for Mark in China. Xintong won 2-1 making a century break?????????????????? Zhao Xintong was 13 pic.twitter.com/lgFKf5FnHs “But a big mistake from Mark Williams there (in the fifth frame), he didn’t see the plant (red from the pack into middle-right pocket), he didn’t look at it and left it when he was forced into taking that red. But he should have got down and had a look at it. But the way he (Zhao) took those balls was incredible.” Zhao also beat Williams that day and threatened to do the same over a decade later on the biggest snooker stage of all. He dominated the opening World Championship final session to lead 7-1 and will be hoping to finish the job on Bank Holiday Monday.",

Peter McParland had recently celebrated his 91st birthday, according to the club.Getty Images - GettyPeter McParland has died aged 91[/caption]PA:Press AssociationAston Villa after their FA cup win in 1957[/caption]In a statement, a spokesperson said he would “always be remembered as the player who scored both goals when Villa beat Manchester United 2-1 in the 1957 FA Cup final”.“And four years later he hit the winner as Villa lifted the new League Cup, making him the first footballer to score in the finals of both major domestic knockout cup competitions.“The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Peter’s family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time.“Born in Newry, Northern Ireland in April 1934, McParland was signed by Villa manager George Martin from Dundalk, making his debut at home to Wolves in September 1952.“He won the first of his 34 international caps while still a teenager, scoring twice on his debut against Wales in 1954, and was the first Villa player to play in the World Cup finals when representing his country in Sweden in 1958.“By then, he had savoured Wembley glory when Villa, very much the underdogs, overcame the multi-talented United thanks to his two second-half goals.“But McParland’s contribution to the Villa cause extended far beyond the final.“He netted a total of seven cup goals that season, and the free-scoring winger – 121 goals in 341 appearances – also helped Villa to the Second Division title in 1959-60.“The following year, he scored the extra-time winner which secured a 3-2 aggregate victory over Rotherham United in the inaugural League Cup final.“Equally at home at centre-forward as on the left wing, McParland boasted a powerful header of the ball as well as possessing a talented left foot.“After nearly 10 years with Villa, he moved across the West Midlands to join Wolves for £35,000 in January 1962.“He also played for Plymouth Argyle, Worcester City and Glentoran, as well as having spells in Canada and the USA.“The last survivor of the 1957 FA Cup-winning team, he was a guest of the club at the 2015 cup final against Arsenal.“McParland also attended a special exhibition at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in January this year to celebrate the club’s 150th anniversary.“Rest in peace, Peter.”More to follow...

      • "content": "Sebastien Buemi managed a brilliant victory in the Monaco E-Prix to end a 78-race streak without a victory, reclaiming his legendary status as the driver with most wins in Formula E history. There were many people in the Formula E paddock who thought they’d never see the day Buemi stood back on the top step of the podium, including the Envision driver himself. It had been a long time since the 2015-16 champion experienced the sweet taste of success, with his last win at the 2019 New York E-Prix. Nearly six years have passed since then, and although Buemi established himself as one of the greats of the all-electric championship early on, things haven’t been quite the same for a little while. The Swiss driver won 12 of his first 29 Formula E races, but his visits to the podium have been sparse in recent seasons with this his fourth piece of silverware since the start of the 2023 season. However, as the rain continued to fall in the Principality, Buemi’s experience and excellent strategy calls from Envision resulted in a memorable Monaco masterclass. Going into qualifying, Buemi was one of four drivers who had failed to make it into the duels in 2024-25. His average starting position was 16th, and Envision was last in the teams’ championship. The odds were certainly not in his favour. That didn’t stop Buemi getting through into the top eight and going up against his former team-mate at Nissan, Maximilian Günther. Despite both drivers failing to stay within track limits as the heavens opened, it was the DS Penske of Günther who progressed as he set a quicker time and would eventually line up third. Starting eighth, the Envision driver made some early moves with the Cupra Kiro of Dan Ticktum who was alongside him on the fourth row of the grid. Buemi was then the first driver to take Attack Mode on the third lap of the race, with the additional 50 kW and four-wheel drive offering an extra level of grip on the wet track surface. “We knew we wanted to take the Attack Mode early just because we wanted to make the most use of it,” Buemi stated after his third Formula E victory in Monaco. “When it’s wet, obviously four-wheel drive gives you more pace, so that’s what we tried to achieve. “However, you never know if Attack Mode comes during a full-course yellow or a safety car, so I was a bit lucky to be able to take it without losing half of it during that.” Everyone in the top 15 had taken their first Attack Mode by lap 10, apart from yesterday's race winner, Nissan’s Oliver Rowland . Buemi battled with Porsche’s Antonio Felix da Costa and DS Penske’s Maximilian Günther for position, with the three swapping places for fourth with some close calls and wheel-banging on the approach to the Loews Hairpin. Taking his final Attack Mode on lap 20, he dropped back to fifth but was on a mission. Pipping off da Costa, DS Penske’s Jean-Eric Vergne and Rowland, Buemi was up to second and closing in on race leader Nyck de Vries (Mahindra) as they approached the start-finish straight for lap 22. Buemi, with the benefit of Attack Mode, was able to launch past the Mahindra on the climb up Beau Rivage and take the lead with eight laps – and an added one – to go. From there he was able to pull a lead, extending the gap by over three seconds from de Vries in just one lap. “In the end, I think the timing of the Attack Mode was good,” Buemi continued. “I was able to make a gap, and I was safe when Rowland took his second Attack. “You need everything to align properly in these kinds of races. The Attack Mode, when you fight, when you overtake, and I guess today everything just aligned properly. I was lucky to take the Attack Mode at the right time and make a big gap at the end. “I think that was the key, because every straight you spend behind a car that is not in Attack Mode you basically waste a lot of lap time.” By the chequered flag, Buemi had created a 4.169s gap to Rowland, who finished second with Nick Cassidy collecting his first trophy of the season after securing third place. It was a wholesome podium for Buemi, sharing the top steps with two former Formula E team-mates. “You're a competitor. You go again and again, but, of course, at some point you doubt yourself,” Buemi reflected after his 14th career victory. “You think, I can't do it. “I was team-mates with these two guys, and at some point they were a lot better than me. You've got to work hard. If you keep pushing, at some point, you try to learn from your mistakes and get better. I think that car never suited my style very much. But, I'm still trying to learn.” Buemi has raced in Formula E since its inaugural season over a decade ago, but with a successful career in the World Endurance Championship and discussions on more clashes between the two series in the upcoming years, it could be that we've just witnessed his final victory in this paddock. “I'm competing in a different championship as well, and at some point [if I continue in Formula E] will be down to the FIA and Formula E and what they want to do. If they want to clash with other championships, then at some point you have to make a decision. “I think everyone's selfish enough to make the right decision for themselves. I still strongly believe that when you have 11 weekends, and you have set your championship by more than four or five months, you should still manage to not have clashes. But who knows? “I guess in a few months' time we'll know whether it's realistic to continue to do both championships or if it's not.” In this article Katy Fairman Formula E Sébastien Buemi Envision Racing Be the first to know and subscribe for real-time news email updates on these topics Subscribe to news alerts",

      • "description": "Kane celebrated the first trophy of his career with team-mates after Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga",
      • "content": "Harry Kane celebrated winning the first trophy of his career by signing “We are the Champions” and “Sweet Caroline” with his Bayern Munich team-mates after they reclaimed the Bundesliga title. England captain Kane finally ended his long wait for a first major title when Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 2-2 draw at Freiberg on Sunday, ending the trophy “curse” that had followed the striker in his career. Kane joined Bayern Munich from Tottenham in 2023 and they celebrated reclaiming the German league title in a bar, with the 31-year-old posting videos of the triumphant scenes to his 17.3m Instagram followers. Kane filmed himself belting out the classic Queen anthem “We are the Champions” and the Neil Diamond track “Sweet Caroline” as he sang along with Bayern team-mate Eric Dier . Some of Kane’s former Tottenham team-mates, including Kieran Tripper, commented their congratulations with Lucas Moura adding: “You deserve it brother, very happy for you!” Kane posted the videos alongside the words “What a feeling” and “We are the Champions” after Bayern won their record-extending 34th German league title. Bayern's bid to win the Bundesliga was delayed on Saturday after they conceded a stoppage-time equaliser in a 3-3 draw at Leipzig, and they can celebrated the triumph on the pitch next weekend. However, they only had to wait one more day to take back the Meisterschale , with reigning champions Leverkusen being held to a 2-2 draw at the Europa-Park Stadium. Kane moved to German giants Bayern in the summer of 2023, only for Bayer Leverkusen to end their streak of 11 Bundesliga titles in a row last season, in what was Bayern’s first trophyless season in 11 years. There was more disappointment for Kane and Bayern this campaign – with defeat to Inter Milan ending their hopes of winning the Champions League at their home ground in Munich – but they reclaimed the title from Leverkusen. Kane’s record in Bayern’s triumph has been remarkable, scoring 24 goals in 29 games. He is set to win the Golden Boot for a second consecutive season, after scoring 36 last campaign, and in November he broke the record for the fastest player to reach 50 Bundesliga goals, requiring just 43 games to reach the half-century. But while Kane’s goalscoring prowess has never been in doubt, the striker has finally ticked off the box that has followed him during his career and won a major trophy. With both England and Tottenham, Kane has appeared in five major finals without lifting silverware, with Spurs also finishing runners-up in the Carabao Cup in 2015 and 2021 to add to defeats in the Champions League final and both Euros finals. Tottenham were briefly title contenders during Kane’s time in the Premier League but Mauricio Pochettino’s team finished behind Leicester and Arsenal in 2016 and runners-up to Chelsea in 2017, before they lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid. Kane become Tottenham’s all-time leading goal-scorer before Bayern made him their record signing in 2023 for an initial fee of €100m.",

Maeda's Hoops teammate Nicolas Kuhn is also nominated, having been an early favourite to win for his form earlier in the season, before tailing off in 2025. And Callum McGregor completes the hat-trick of Celts nominees, looking to be named Player of the Year for the second time after his win in 2021/22.

A whole host of prizes are also being dished out, with the first gong of the night going to the League Two Player of the Year. The winner was East Fife 's Alan Trouten, the division's top scorer with 23 goals, despite Dick Campbell's side falling into the promotion playoffs and being beaten to the title by Peterhead.

      • "content": "West Ham United's winless run continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw by London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon. West Ham went into the match at the London Stadium looking to win their first game since February. The Hammers did not get the start they wanted as Wilson Odobert gave the visitors the lead after the opening 15 minutes. They battled back well, though, and restored parity just before the half-hour mark as their talisman and captain, Jarrod Bowen, found the net. That proved to be the final goal of the game as the two sides settled for a 1-1 draw and West Ham's winless run extended to eight matches. Graham Potter Explains Why Lucas Paqueta Burst Into Tears There was an odd moment with just over 15 minutes as West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta burst into tears. The Brazilian's emotions overcame him after he tripped Tottenham's Mikey Moore and was shown a yellow card. Jarrod Bowen and referee Michael Oliver had to console Paqueta before he composed himself and carried on playing. West Ham manager Graham Potter was asked about the odd incident after the match and he attempted to explain Paqueta's emotional outburst. After confirming he had not yet spoken to the Brazilian midfielder, Potter said, per the Standard: “I think he's just a player that's trying his absolute best and wants the situation to be better and probably got a bit frustrated with the action. “And then you see a human being, not perfect, but I love Lucas. He's given everything and in difficult circumstances, he's in as well. He's given everything and he's absolutely fine now.” Paqueta's Wife Speaks Out on Social Media Paqueta's wife, Duda Fournier, also posted on social media following her husband's tears. She said, per the Sun: \"I've never said anything here, and maybe I shouldn't have! \"My husband has a posture and strength that I admire and that IMPRESSES me! We've been living this nightmare for two years and he's ALWAYS strong... he's always had it in his head that he would only defend himself at the right time and place! \"There's NOTHING against him. Have you never noticed that? Anyway, God knows everything, and only HE knows why we're going through this! And only because of HIM are we well and living happily as a family! I just wish people would respect him... People are mean and unfair, without knowing ANYTHING!\" West Ham and Paqueta will be back on action on Sunday May 11 when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United. Paqueta could depart the club this summer , with the Hammers said to be considering letting him leave should they receive 'concrete offers'.",

      • "description": "The streets were awash with colour as over 20,000 runners took part in the record-breaking 43rd Belfast CIty Marathon in blazing sunshine.",
      • "content": "From fitness fanatics and fun runners to elite athletes and those doing shorter relays for charity, the city was buzzing with energy from early on Sunday morning. The sun ensured a pleasant day for spectators, even if it did sap the energy of those pounding the streets. As well as a new record time being set and the first female wheelchair participant competing, the number of runners was the highest ever, with 6,500 signed up to run the full distance, 2,750 relay teams of between two and five people, and 1,200 walkers. The annual event started at Stormont Estate and finished up in Ormeau Park, where runners finally had a chance to catch their breath. SDLP leader Claire Hanna became the first MP to finish the race, with the added bonus of crossing the line in her own constituency. Posting a photo of herself in Ormeau Park smiling and clutching her medal, she said: “What a day. Belfast Marathon done — 26.2 miles of slog & inspiration. “The cheers, jelly beans & funny signs make it all bearable. Relieved, tired and grateful.” The DUP’s running veteran, North Belfast MLA Brian Kingston — with 15 marathons under his belt — finished in 3:32 as he raised funds for the NI Air Ambulance. “The crowds along the route were the largest I’ve seen for the Belfast Marathon,” he posted on X, thanking the church and community choirs and bands who sang and played to the runners. While some ran the entire 26.2 miles, others joined in a team relay or participated in the eight-mile walk. Many took part to support various charities or accomplish personal goals. Among the participants was Alannah Campbell (22), who ran a leg of the marathon in aid of Action Cancer. “The easiest bit was at the start, just the atmosphere with everyone — it was a lot easier having encouragement,” she said. “The hardest bit was the sun, it was quite warm but it was very fun.” There were also a number of running groups, such as The Supported Living Scheme for Adults with Learning Disabilities. Situated in the Mourne Grange, Patricia Haughian explained: “We are a group of walkers and runners who are raising money for people living with learning disabilities. “The hardest part of the walk was half-way. If I had the ability to run it, I would have, but probably not.” Many said the atmosphere from the crowds lining the roads spurred them on when the going got tough. Those not running for a charity wanted to challenge themselves or run for a bit of fun. Barry Smith, who ran for himself and for “a bit of craic”, said it was “enjoyable and good support throughout”. Barry has already run 21 marathons in his lifetime, including London, New York and Dublin. “London was the best. The atmosphere there was fantastic and it’s the hardest marathon to get into, but this was fun too,” he said. Barry, who completed the run in three hours and two minutes, said he would run Belfast again. Jake Huston (22) was also “running for a bit of craic”. “I did a relay of 37 minutes and it was good fun,” he said. “It was very busy and I passed a lot of people, it was good encouragement.” Méabh Lowe ran with work colleagues at Murphy O’Rawe Solicitors in Belfast in aid of the NI Hospice. “We just thought it would be a great charity because, I mean, there’s very few families in Northern Ireland who haven’t been affected in some way by cancer,” she said. “We have a lady in our office, Betty, whose sister sadly passed away last week. So, we were thinking about her today and supporting all those families affected by cancer.” Meanwhile, a 34-year-old immigration advisor raised more than £10,000 for a Palestinian aid charity. Canadian woman Portia Larlee — who lives in Belfast — was running in her first ever marathon to raise funds for the Medical Aid for Palestinians charity, which works in the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon. Ms Larlee said the support from the Belfast public had helped her reach the finish line in her maiden race. “The last three kilometres were super tough, but there was a lot of support along the way for Medical Aid for Palestinians,” she said. “I think the people of Belfast really support the cause. “I’ve just tried to do what I could and give people an opportunity to spread the word about this important charity. “I think I will do more; it’s been a really, really great day. There were lots of friends and family and people from my office supporting me along the route. “Belfast stands against genocide. It needs to end now.” This year’s men’s champions were Tilahun Nigussie who broke the Belfast Marathon record with a time of 2:13:37. The Ethiopian was followed by Aaron Hanlon of Drogheda and District Athletic Club, with a time of 2:27:06. In third place was Stephen Connolly of Annadale Striders with a time of 2:29:30. For the women, first place went to Kenya’s Millicent Kibet with a time of 2:38:30. In second place, Lalla Aziza Alaoui Selsoui finished in a time of 2:38:51. Gladys Ganiel of North Belfast Harriers finished at 2:45:46. Jayne Bleakley came home in a time of 2:29:28 to win the wheelchair race in her debut marathon. She was the first female wheelchair participant to take part in the events history.",

      • "content": "LONDON -- What a difference a midfield makes. Sunday's 3-1 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge was a further indication that Chelsea may finally be on the way to getting things right in the middle of the pitch. It has been a long journey to this point, and one that has been inextricably linked to the Reds, given both clubs aggressively pursued deals for Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia in 2023. Caicedo remains Britain's most expensive footballer after completing a £115 million move from Brighton & Hove Albion that summer, surpassing the previous record Chelsea set in completing the £106.8 million acquisition of Enzo Fernández from Benfica a few months earlier. Lavia also moved to west London that year in a £58 million switch from Southampton that has been so blighted by injury that this was just his 10th Premier League start in almost two seasons at the club. Editor's Picks Liverpool Keep or Dump: What must the champions address in summer transfer window? 2d Gabriele Marcotti, Mark Ogden Breaking down European semifinals: Champions, Europa, Conference League predictions 2d Bill Connelly The five reasons (with stats) behind Liverpool's Premier League domination 4d Bill Connelly This was also only the sixth time Lavia, Fernández and Caicedo have started together for Chelsea. The combination proved too much for Liverpool and was the bedrock of a victory that keeps the Blues on track to secure the UEFA Champions League spot they crave. Manager Enzo Maresca has opted for an unconventional way of accommodating all three players, selecting Caicedo at right back for the third game in succession and allowing Lavia and Fernández to form a dynamic and combative central-midfield pairing. Perhaps somewhat predictably, Liverpool were on the beach here, and if anything, the absence of their first-choice midfield trio -- Ryan Gravenberch , Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai -- underlined the importance that area of the pitch can have on a team's fortunes. After all, the midfield rebuild Jürgen Klopp presided over was a key reason Arne Slot was able to inherit such a formidable team without any need to strengthen in the market last summer. Try as they might, Curtis Jones , Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott were poor understudies here. Slot would never criticize a group that has just delivered Liverpool's 20th top-flight title, but he did admit they \"missed that little bit which we usually have; we missed a few percentages to get that result.\" Fernández made his presence felt after just three minutes, latching onto Pedro Neto 's cross by working the ball onto his right foot and stroking a low finish past Alisson Becker . It is the Argentina international's 20th goal involvement of the season and yet more evidence of his upward trajectory, starting the campaign as he did from the low point of apologizing to teammates after posting a racist and homophobic video following Argentina's Copa America victory. Lavia is a powerhouse of a player -- when fit. That caveat has been a big one during various issues including hamstring, ankle and thigh problems that have cast doubt over a promising career. \"You can see that we are a better team with Romeo,\" Maresca said after the match. \"Unfortunately, you can see he has been injured for most of the season. Probably in this moment, the difference between us and more clubs is we had many important players injured. Romeo is one of them. He showed again today how important he is for the team and how good he is.\" Fernández's goal was the quickest Liverpool had conceded in the league all season. Chelsea's second owed yet more to Liverpool's post-title relaxation. Virgil van Dijk thrashed a 56th-minute clearance against Jarell Quansah and the ball flew into his own net. Darwin Núñez headed inexplicably wide from six yards in response before Slot, belatedly, called for Szoboszlai and Mac Allister with 21 minutes remaining and, unsurprisingly, Liverpool began to rouse themselves. Salah drifted a header off target before Van Dijk made amends by powering Mac Allister's 85th-minute corner past Robert Sánchez . STREAM ESPN FC DAILY ON ESPN+ Dan Thomas is joined by Craig Burley, Shaka Hislop and others to bring you the latest highlights and debate the biggest storylines. Stream on ESPN+ (U.S. only). Lavia tired and Maresca introduced Reece James , pushing Caicedo into midfield permanently -- as opposed to only when in possession -- and it was the Ecuador international who helped settle the contest, demonstrating his limitless energy by bursting into the box where Quansah brought him down to give Cole Palmer the chance to end a 13-game wait for a goal. Palmer had earlier his the post and played a key role in the build-up to Quansah's unfortunate own goal, suggesting Chelsea's poster boy may be stirring into action at the right time with key league games against Newcastle United , Manchester United and Nottingham Forest to come along with a likely UEFA Conference League final should they complete the semifinal job against Swedish side Djurgården back here on Thursday. Palmer had the most shots (five), created the most chances (four) and had the joint-most touches in the opposition box (eight) of any Chelsea player, but the man himself is in no doubt who is the most pivotal figure. \"When you have got [Caicedo] in front of you, it's a dream,\" Palmer said after the match. \"From the start of the season, he has been our best player, he wins the ball back all the time, he's humble, nice to everyone and everyone loves him.\" Chelsea's season is yet to be determined as a success or failure with everything to play for, but their hopes of a positive conclusion feel stronger when Caicedo, Lavia and Fernández can play like this.",

      • "content": "It's over. It's finally over! Bayern Munich have secured the 2024-25 Bundesliga title -- courtesy of Bayer Leverkusen 's 2-2 draw at SC Freiburg on Sunday -- and with it Harry Kane 's agonizing, career-long curse has at long last been broken. The England captain left boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern in 2023 in a marquee transfer that appeared to be guarantee the major trophies that had eluded him during his 13 years of brilliant, record-breaking but ultimately fruitless toil in North London. Editor's Picks What's at stake across the top leagues: Titles, cup finals, UCL, relegation 22m Dale Johnson How Yamal's first 100 games compare to other phenoms': Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé 3d Chris Wright The worst game in Premier League history? Southampton might just be the worst team 1d Mark Ogden However, Kane's big move just so happened to coincide with Bayern's lowest league finish in over a decade. After hoovering up the previous 11 league titles, Bayern washed up in third last season as the honors instead went to the unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen , fueling renewed talk of Kane's career being somehow cursed. While the striker enjoyed a highly productive year on an individual level, scoring 44 goals in 45 appearances for Bayern in his debut campaign, he still managed to join the Bavarian giants in time for their first trophyless season since 2011-12, thus extending his own personal barren streak into a 15th year. It's been a similar story for Kane, 31, his entire senior career. It hasn't been entirely desolate on the prize-winning front -- his ridiculously consistent goal-scoring form has earned him many personal accolades and records. For all the false starts and near misses with Tottenham, Kane's weighty record of 213 goals in 320 league games for the club saw him depart English football as the Premier League 's second-highest all-time goal scorer, behind Alan Shearer. We are the Champions!! 🏆 pic.twitter.com/YYHC7k6ldU But the prolific striker has failed to convert his exceptional talent into silverware, despite reaching five major finals with club and country. And no, we're not going to count Spurs' preseason Audi Cup win over Bayern in 2019 or the Tiger Cup, which Spurs lifted by beating Singaporean outfit Lion City Sailors 5-1 in a 2023 friendly. Now that the hardship is over and he finally has a winner's medal around his neck, it's time for one last look back through the years of pain before closing the book on them forever. May 12, 2013: Watford 3-1 Leicester City, 3-2 agg. (Championship playoff semifinal) While the intention was for the young Kane to gain vital first-team football experience with Leicester City in the Championship, his loan at the Foxes actually served as an early introduction to the heartache of seeing a potential trophy go up in smoke before his very eyes. The 19-year-old Kane was limited to cameos during the latter half of the season, but he did manage to make it off the bench during the second leg of the Championship playoff semifinal against Watford. Unfortunately, his second-half introduction coincided with the mounting of Watford's thrilling comeback. That culminated deep in added time with Leicester's Anthony Knockaert winning a highly dubious penalty which was thwarted by Manuel Almunia's heroic double save, allowing Troy Deeney to score on the counterattack and send the Hornets to Wembley. March 1, 2025: Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur (League Cup final) After laboring to see off Sheffield United over two legs in the semis, Tottenham completely ran out of juice against Premier League rivals Chelsea in the 2015 League Cup final. Despite mustering a light peppering of the opposition goal, José Mourinho's wily Blues scored once at the tail end of each half. To add insult to injury, the final strike from Diego Costa actually ricocheted in off Kane. Still, having been given his shot as a first-team regular by new coach Mauricio Pochettino, the 21-year-old Kane seized his opportunity and finished as Spurs' top scorer with 21 goals in the league and 31 overall, earning him the PFA Young Player of the Year award in his first full senior season at White Hart Lane. Harry Kane speaks about whether he feels it is unfair that he hasn't won a major club trophy. May 2, 2016: Losing out to Leicester in title race (Premier League) While the story of the 2015-16 Premier League campaign was Leicester City's shock transformation from 5,000-1 outsiders to eventual champions, it could so nearly have been the year that Spurs won their first league title in more than half a century. With the other so-called Big Six clubs either in crisis or undergoing transitional campaigns, as the season entered its final stages Pochettino's plucky side emerged as the only team who might be able to nix the Foxes' fairy tale. However, they won just four of their final 10 games and, after a 2-2 draw at Chelsea sealed the title for Leicester, a jaded Spurs team was ultimately pipped to second place by Arsenal after being thrashed 5-1 by already-relegated Newcastle on the final day. April 22, 2017: Chelsea 4-2 Tottenham (FA Cup semifinal) With Chelsea looking strong and vying for the Premier League and FA Cup double under Antonio Conte, Pochettino's challengers did well to hold their own at Wembley against the champions elect. Willian opened the scoring with an early free kick only for Kane to equalize with a header shortly thereafter. Spurs were able to muster another equalizer after Willian's penalty before the Blues' momentum saw them steamroll to victory with late goals from Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic . May 14, 2017: Finishing as runners-up to Chelsea (Premier League) After the embarrassment of stumbling at the final hurdle to finish below Arsenal the previous season, Tottenham rallied and staged a concerted Premier League title challenge in 2016-17 in their final season at White Hart Lane, going unbeaten at home all season. Kane won the second of his three Premier League Golden Boots but Pochettino's team could not reel in Chelsea at the top, instead having to settle for second place and their best-ever Premier League finish, bidding farewell to their old stadium with a 2-1 win over Manchester United . Kane's 29 league goals (and 35 in all competitions) also saw him scoop the PFA Fans' Player of the Year. April 21, 2018: Manchester United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur (FA Cup semifinal) Kane's quest to win the FA Cup with Spurs once again ended at the semifinal stage in 2018 when Manchester United, with familiar foe Mourinho gesticulating in the dugout, came from a goal down to salvage a gritty win and reach the final for a record-equaling 20th time. In truth, Kane wasn't fully fit, having rushed back from an injury to lead the line, but nevertheless the old \"Spursy\" label reared up again in the aftermath as the North London club slumped to their eighth successive FA Cup semifinal defeat, a risible run stretching back to the last time they won the competition in 1991. July 11, 2018: Croatia 2-1 England after extra time (World Cup semifinal) After reaching their first World Cup semifinal in 28 years, unfancied England finally came unstuck against a strong, experienced Croatia side who fought back from a goal down to win the tie in extra time with a sucker punch from Mario Mandzukic. Kane had scored six goals in five games in Russia, but he looked a little tired in the knockout phase and his magic touch went missing in Moscow. He also received vehement criticism from fans back home for, with England 1-0 up in the first half, failing to square the ball to Raheem Sterling for an easy tap-in and instead squandering a close-range chance himself, although he was eventually flagged offside in any case. Jan. 24, 2019: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Chelsea, 2-2 agg., 2-4 pens (League Cup semifinal) Despite having scored the only goal of the first leg at Wembley, Kane was ruled out of the second leg of the EFL Cup semifinal against Chelsea by an ankle injury that had stymied his 2018-19 season. Without their main goal threat on the pitch, Tottenham saw Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea claw their way back into the tie before advancing via a tense penalty shootout at Stamford Bridge -- thus inflicting Spurs' third defeat in a domestic cup semifinal in the space of three years. June 1, 2019: Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Liverpool (Champions League final) As the collective legs of Mauricio Pochettino's effervescent Tottenham side began to become heavy, they had a truly glorious chance to cover over the cracks after reaching their first-ever Champions League final by beating Ajax in a blazing semifinal second-leg comeback. Unfortunately, yet another untimely ankle knock saw Kane hastily pressed into starting in Madrid while clearly carrying an injury. Unsurprisingly, the Spurs striker endured a lackluster evening as Liverpool prevailed by scoring two decisive goals at each end of a somewhat turgid final. Pochettino was then sacked five months later after an underwhelming start to the 2019-20 season. April 25, 2021: Manchester City 1-0 Tottenham (League Cup final) A familiar story played out for Kane at Wembley as he was rushed back from an ankle injury only for the big game to pass him by. Spurs had sacked manager Mourinho mere days before the final and Manchester City capitalized to win the trophy for the fourth consecutive year under Pep Guardiola. Spurs stumbled to finish seventh in the league but could at least take some consolation from the flourishing attacking partnership between Kane and Son Heung-Min . In 2020-21, the duo set a new-single season Premier League record for the most goals/assists produced between the same two players (14). Indeed, Kane and Son laid on an overall total of 47 league goals for each other at Spurs, which also still stands as a Premier League record. July 12, 2021: England 1-1 Italy, 2-3 pens (European Championship final) England's agonizing 55-year wait for a major men's international trophy was off to a promising start when Luke Shaw volleyed home two minutes into the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, converting a smart cross from captain Kane. However, Italy were unbeaten in 33 games coming into the final and dug in to stifle England with a defensive masterclass from Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, causing Kane to drop increasingly deeper in order to get involved. The Azzurri then drew level in the 67th minute when Bonucci hammered home a rebound from point-blank range. The game ultimately went to penalties and while Kane was able to convert his opening spot kick, three consecutive misses from England trio Marcus Rashford , Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka saw the Three Lions' monumental evening end in tears. Jan. 12, 2022: Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Chelsea, 0-3 agg. (League Cup semifinal) Kane's last semifinal appearance for Tottenham had a familiar ending as Chelsea once again put paid to his hopes of finally winning some silverware with his beloved club. This time it was a single goal from Antonio Rüdiger that did the damage in the second leg as Spurs manager Antonio Conte was forced to watch his former club go waltzing into the final. Kane did have a goal disallowed in the second half but by that time the horse had well and truly bolted. Aug. 12, 2023: Bayern Munich 0-3 RB Leipzig (German Super Cup) Dani Olmo shines for RB Leipzig as Harry Kane's Bayern Munich debut is dampened in 3-0 Super Cup defeat. Kane had the chance to win his first legitimate career trophy in his first game for Bayern after being selected for the curtain-raiser against RB Leipzig literally hours after completing his £86 million transfer. With Bayern trailing by two goals, Kane emerged from the bench in the second half and the Allianz Arena rumbled with anticipation as their new star man entered the fray. It then took roughly three minutes for Leipzig to score again and put the game to bed as Kane mustered just three touches during the remainder. As well as falling short in the Super Cup and the league, Bayern were also embarrassingly eliminated from the German Cup in the second round by third-tier Saarbrucken. May 8, 2024: Real Madrid 2-1 Bayern Munich, 4-3 agg. (Champions League semifinal With domestic silverware out of reach, Kane and Bayern were hoping that a 2-2 draw against Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the Champions League semis would provide a stable enough platform for them to pinch something at the Bernabéu and advance to the final. A 68th-minute goal from Alphonso Davies looked to have done precisely that only for striker Joselu to score twice for Madrid in the dying moments -- the second following a lengthy VAR review -- to power Los Blancos through to meet Borussia Dortmund at Wembley and consign their Bavarian opponents to their first trophyless season in 12 years. Despite losing out on every potential item of silverware during his debut season at Bayern in 2023-24, Kane still finished as top scorer in the Bundesliga (with 36 goals in 32 games) and the Champions League (eight goals in 12 games) before claiming the European Golden Shoe award with an overall tally of 44 goals in 45 games. July 14, 2024: England 1-2 Spain (European Championship final) After scoring against Denmark in the group stage, Slovakia in the round of 16 and Netherlands in the semifinals, Kane led England into the Euro 2024 final as the tournament's joint-top goal scorer. With a second successive European Championship final presenting England with the chance to end 58 years of hurt, Kane was once again off the boil in a final and lasted just 61 minutes before being subbed off. England then fell to a late winner from Mikel Oyarzabal as Spain emerged victorious in Berlin. Since getting off the mark just 80 seconds into his senior international debut against Lithuania in 2015, Kane has gone on to lead the line with aplomb for England, scoring 71 goals in 105 caps. Of course, with over 400 goals scored for club and country, Kane is both Tottenham's and England's all-time top goal-scorer -- and he's already hovering just outside Bayern Munich's all-time top 20 despite being less than two seasons into his stint at the Allianz. But Kane no longer has to lean on numbers, stats and records for comfort, now that he finally has a winners' medal around his neck. Congratulations, Harry!",

      • "description": "Gary Neville named Manchester United legend Paul Scholes as the best footballer he ever played with ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo",
      • "content": "Gary Neville spent 19 seasons in Manchester United 's first team and during that time played with some of the greatest players in Premier League history . During the 1992-93 campaign, in which Sir Alex Ferguson gave Neville a very brief glimpse of senior football against Torpedo Moscow in the 1992 UEFA Cup, the legendary Eric Cantona made his mark with nine goals and later emerged as the driving force of the Red Devils' attacking play. Fast forward to the United side that famously won the 1998/99 treble , and Neville was part of a squad that boasted some of the greatest players in Europe. A dynamic front-line included Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, while Ryan Giggs and David Beckham's contributions from out wide were a defining feature of United's play. At the back, meanwhile, Jaap Stam sat in front of iconic goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. Manchester United's 25 greatest players ever have been ranked, featuring Sir Bobby Charlton, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, George Best & Roy Keane. In subsequent years, as Fergie rebuilt his team to fend off competition from Arsene Wenger's Invincibles and Jose Mourinho's expensively assembled Chelsea side to continually reach Champions League finals, Neville played alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy, Dimitar Berbatov, Carlos Tevez, Henrik Larsson, Michael Carrick, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra - all of whom were among the greatest players of their era in their respective positions. He also shared a pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time . But Neville didn't name any of those players as the greatest footballer he ever played with. Neville Revealed the Best Footballer he Ever Played With Writing for The Daily Mail in 2012 , Neville named Paul Scholes as the best footballer he ever played with. Writing in glowing praise about the former England star in honour of his upcoming birthday, Neville jotted: \"He is certainly the best player I’ve ever played with and the best English player of his generation. He’s a model performer for younger footballers to look to in how he plays on the pitch. And given that he’s approaching his 38th birthday, and coming to the end of his career, I would urge anyone who loves football, particularly if they have a child who wants to learn from professionals, to go along to watch him play in the flesh this season.\" At the time of writing, Scholes was at the start of his final season for United, in which he would help Sir Alex Ferguson win his last Premier League title. The midfielder had initially retired at the end of the 2010/11 season, but re-signed for the Red Devils in January 2012. His influence wasn't enough to help them win the title that season as Manchester City famously clinched it on the final day. However, Scholes would make 16 Premier League appearances as Fergie sealed the crown of English football for a final time at the end of the 2012/13 campaign. There have been many incredible goalscorers in Premier League history, but these are the very best marksmen the division has ever seen. No Bias in Neville's Comments Despite Ronaldo's Ballon d'Ors Modern football fans may question whether Neville's opinion has changed twelve years on from declaring Scholes as his greatest ever team-mate. In that time, Ronaldo has established himself as one of football's greatest ever players, winning an incredible five Ballon d'Ors , while Scholes never even ranked in the top three for the greatest individual award in football. But Scholes played in an era where the Ballon d'Or really wasn't the be-all-and-end-all of football. And those within the game itself were huge, huge admirers of the United maestro - as Neville himself explained: \"There might be no knighthoods, no MBEs or OBEs, but every single team-mate will say he is the best they have ever played with. And every player he had played against, including Xavi and Zinedine Zidane, would say he is the best midfielder they have faced. Every fan or every club, no matter who they support, loves the way Paul Scholes plays.\" Zinedine Zidane, often considered one of the greatest midfielders of all time , once expressed his regret at never having the opportunity to play alongside Scholes , saying: \"You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.\" Xavi, meanwhile, one of the best passing midfielders of all time, described Scholes in 2011 as the greatest midfielder of the last 20 years . \"A role model. For me – and I really mean this – he's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years.\" Maybe Scholes never quite matched Ronaldo's international recognition and fame among football fans, but the beautiful game's most beautiful players valued him incredibly highly. Wayne Rooney does not make the grade in Manchester United's 10 hardest footballers of all time.",

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player The 3-1 defeat at Chelsea will do little to trouble Liverpool as they celebrated their deserved title. But if anyone was questioning what Arne Slot's side may have looked like with a few injuries, then that performance was it. There were probably some party-related reasons for Liverpool's flat performance and a lower intensity than normal, but Arne Slot wanted to use these final four games to help him plan for the summer. Those he brought into the team at Stamford Bridge failed to impress. The entire midfield was changed and the trio of Wataru Endo, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott could not cope with their Chelsea counterparts, notably Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer who ran the show. Jones slipped in the build-up to Chelsea's first, Elliott was hauled off after the Blues' second - and Endo showed he, at 32, will struggle to replicate what Ryan Gravenberch did brilliantly all season. At the top end of the pitch, Diogo Jota was anonymous with just 13 touches - he has one league goal in 2025 - while Darwin Nunez missed two good openings after coming on. At least he managed one more touch than Jota. None had a worse outing though than Jarell Quansah, with one own goal and one penalty conceded in a disappointing and unconvincing display at centre-half, one that was reminiscent of his opening-day struggles at Ipswich.

The club want to be busy in the transfer market and strengthen their squad to compete again next season and develop the next title-winning team. And with Kostas Tsimikas failing to ease Liverpool's left-back woes, that looks like four areas Liverpool could strengthen this summer. Left-back, centre-back, midfield and striker - and don't forget a right-back if Trent Alexander-Arnold departs, as expected. Sam Blitz Why do Man Utd's Premier League struggles persist? Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Bilbao or bust has been the mantra at Manchester United for some time. Watching them fall to a 16th league defeat of the season as they lost 4-3 at Brentford, their most for 35 years, made that abundantly clear. But there is something more behind their struggles. Ruben Amorim named the third-youngest team in Premier League history at Brentford. Considering United's recent domestic form, and the eight changes made after Thursday's win over Athletic Club, defeat was almost inevitable, strange as that sounds. Everything, understandably, is focused on the Europa League. That doesn't answer the question of why United, the only undefeated side in European competition, haven't beaten a team that will be playing top-flight football next season since January 26. Since that 1-0 win at Fulham, sealed thanks to Lisandro Martinez's deflected strike, United have played 10 teams outside the bottom three and failed to win against any of them. They still had a round left of the Europa League league phase after that win. Meanwhile, in Europe United have overcome Real Sociedad and Lyon. Barring a shock collapse, not something you would put past this group, you can add Athletic Club to that list. Then they are one game from a European trophy. Puzzling. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player The defeat at Brentford, although not the fairest game to draw conclusions from, served up a perfect example of the problems plaguing Amorim in the Premier League: United were simply unable to cope with Brentford's physicality, pace and direct football. Regardless of who was picked, as this season has shown us, those same vulnerabilities would remain. Amorim has inherited a squad ill-equipped to cope with the rigours of English football. Those squad-building missteps must be corrected this summer, particularly if Champions League qualification is secured, otherwise Amorim will see no improvement. Zinny Boswell Can Isak catch Salah in Golden Boot race? Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Alexander Isak must have felt like his moment would never come in Newcastle's 1-1 draw at Brighton. Twice he had picked up the ball thinking he was about to have a free shot at goal from 12 yards after referee Craig Pawson had pointed to the spot. VAR ruined Newcastle's fun by spotting two incorrect calls from Pawson so it was looking like one of those days for Isak and his team. But one more chance would come on 89 minutes when Pawson finally correctly spotted a legitimate penalty and Isak was in no mood to pass it up. In scoring he became the first Newcastle United player to score 23 goals in a Premier League season since Alan Shearer in 2002 and now has 22 goals in his last 26 league appearances. There is still time to catch Mohamed Salah in the Golden Boot race, too. He is five back with three games to play and Salah has only scored once in his last six Premier League games. Stranger things have happened. Lewis Jones Verbruggen shows number one qualities again There have been calls from some sections of the Brighton fans for goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to be replaced. Before the 1-1 draw with Newcastle, the Seagulls had conceded at least twice in each of their last six Premier League games and shipped 24 goals in their previous 11 league encounters. Verbruggen was not solely to blame but his lack of confidence and authority has not been helping his defenders. Brighton also have the worst save ratio in the Premier League this season (59.6 per cent). However, Verbruggen put in his best performance of 2025 to repel Newcastle. Solid from set-pieces and looking much more composed under pressure, Verbruggen made four saves - the pick of which came in stoppage time to deny Callum Wilson a winning goal. If he can stay in this kind of form, Brighton's defensive process and numbers should be back on the improve. Lewis Jones Tel puts case forward to start against Bodo/Glimt Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Ange Postecoglou's wholesale changes in Tottenham's 1-1 draw at West Ham allowed those brought in to put forward their case to start in Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg at Bodo/Glimt - and Mathys Tel took it. The French forward was Spurs' most dangerous player at the London Stadium as he assisted Wilson Odobert's opener after pressing West Ham defender Max Kilman into a mistake. Tel attempted eight dribbles - the most of any player in the game - and had two shots, with only Jarrod Bowen having more. It was another promising display from the on-loan Bayern Munich man, who is finding his feet out on the left wing for Spurs, with Postecoglou praising the 20-year-old in his post-match press conference. He said: \"He's taken in the information and he understands the role now a little bit better, especially out on the left. \"These last few weeks, we've obviously had Sonny [Heung-Min Son] out. We've needed him to fill that void and I think he's done that job well.\" If Tel were to start in Norway on Thursday, then it would be well deserved. And with more performances like this, Spurs will be keen to activate the £45m option to sign him permanently from Bayern. Declan Olley Kayode looking the real deal for Brentford It took Michael Kayode just under three months to make his first start for Brentford after joining on loan from Fiorentina in January. Before then, there were fleeting glimpses of what he had to offer; eye-catching cameos that provided a taste of what was to come. But he has started at right-back in the Bees' last three games and been a key part of the team that has won three in a row for the first time since a run between October 21 and November 4 2023. The 20-year-old looked eager to get forward from the very start during Man Utd's visit to the Gtech and his boundless energy caused Amorim's side problems - as did his monstrous throw-ins, as shown in the lead-up to Luke Shaw's own goal. Kayode completed the most dribbles (5) in the match, won the most duels (10) and finished with a 97 per cent pass accuracy, the most of any player to play 45 minutes or more. \"He looked like he just enjoyed playing football,\" said Thomas Frank afterwards. There is surely no doubt Brentford will take up the option to make Kayode's stay in west London permanent at the end of the season. Dan Long Hammers season fizzling out fast Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player If ever there was to be a day when things finally clicked into place for West Ham under Graham Potter, the visit of rivals Tottenham to the London Stadium was surely it. The Hammers had a week to prepare for the London derby, a luxury compared to Spurs' 64-hour turnaround from Thursday's Europa League semi-final against Bodo-Glimt. Spurs had more than an eye on Thursday's return leg in Norway, Postecoglou's eight pre-match alterations made that clear, so opportunity knocked for Potter's beleaguered Hammers to end a seven-game wait for a victory. Before a ball had been kicked, frustration summed up the mood among a fanbase who had not seen a victory since late February, but that turned to apathy come full-time. Hoards headed for an early exit despite the scoreboard reading 1-1 with the prospect of a late derby victory still on the table. The fact that was not enough to keep sections of the disgruntled fanbase in their seats shows just how deep West Ham's rut is with three games left to salvage something from this season.

      • "content": "We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The various rubber seals in and around your car are vital for keeping the many cruds and contaminants of the world firmly outside of your vehicle. Whether it's rain from a storm, dust and pollen in the spring, or even harmful fumes and smoke from a fire, it's all on those rubber seals to keep it away. It should go without saying, then, that it's of the utmost importance that you keep them maintained . Without proper upkeep, your car's rubber seals will start to wear and crack. Not only does this mean you could start getting water on your head when driving in a storm, but it could also increase the potential of hazards like ice accumulation on windshields , sudden electrical surges or mold growth inside the car. Thankfully, you don't need anything particularly fancy or expensive to keep those seals strong and supple. The only thing you do need is a can of spray-on silicone sealant. In addition to keeping your rubber seals clean with some plain old water and a mild soap, a periodic spray of silicone sealant will go a long way toward keeping them strong for years to come. Normally, the rubber seals on your car are regularly subjected to wear and tear from both the intense heat of the sun and battering by the elements. As environmental damage wears the seals then and heat dries them out, they become rigid and cracked. Water and fumes can already start seeping in at this point, and if they take any more damage, they'll break completely. Spraying on a silicone sealant has two major benefits for your rubber seals: first, they help to keep the rubber material firm, yet supple. It's kind of like applying Chapstick to your lips; the seals are able to hold their form against the rigors of use, but are still flexible enough that they won't be damaged by small impacts or dried out by sunlight. That brings us to the second benefit: the protective layer. Spraying on a silicone sealant creates a protective film between the seals and the world, helping them to better repel water and contaminants. You can get a can of silicone spray off of Amazon for around $9. If you'd prefer a brand you know a little better, WD-40 makes its own silicone lubricant spray, which you can find for a similar price at hardware stores like Home Depot . Make sure you use the specialist silicone spray, though, as WD-40's usual multi-purpose spray can damage rubber seals .",

      • "content": "Lewis Hamilton quipped that there was some “dirty driving” from Alpine’s Pierre Gasly after they tangled ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. And that hit came when the 20 Formula 1 drivers got their chance to take fully drivable and team bespoke LEGO big build cars for a drive around the Miami International Autodrome, replacing the usual drivers’ parade procedure. 400,000 bricks. 22,000 hours. 26 LEGO specialists. It was quite the effort to put together these life-size, driveable LEGO F1 cars, but it was mission accomplished, as the stars of F1 took them for a drive in front of the Miami audience ahead of the Grand Prix. Capturing all the details of the real F1 cars, down to sponsor logos and authentic Pirelli tyres, Hamilton said that was the “most fun drivers’ parade” he has ever taken part in, quite the statement considering he has been a part of the F1 grid since 2007. He even took a hit from the Alpine, which was muscling between the Ferrari and Mercedes LEGO cars down the back straight. Luckily, with these cars reaching speeds of 20 km/h, it was a very low-speed tap for F1 standards. Hamilton spoke with a broad smile about the experience after exiting the Ferrari, and as Gasly came past, he could not help but have a bit of fun. “That was the most fun drivers’ parade we’ve ever had,” he began. “Some dirty driving from this one here [Gasly]. Great fun. “All weekend, the crowd has been incredible, but also, on this lap, is when you really get to see people, because obviously when we’re on track, it’s at serious high speeds. “Big, big thank you to everyone in Miami for having us.” 👉 FIA release lightning procedures as stormy weather threatens Miami GP 👉 Untelevised Lewis Hamilton radio message uncovered in key Miami GP call Miami GP polesitter Max Verstappen joked that before lights out, the track would need some attention after that Ferrari and Alpine collision. “I do think they have to sweep the track because there is quite a bit of LEGO debris now on the track,” he said with a smile. “A few cars collided along the way.” He joked that he and Yuki Tsunoda were lacking a bit of “top speed” in the LEGO Red Bull, as the focus switched to the Miami Grand Prix from there.

      • "content": "The children, including 11 boys and three girls, were arrested after a body believed to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was found inside a building. On Sunday, a Northumbria Police spokesman said: “All those arrested have since been released on police bail pending further inquiries.” The arrests came after a fire broke out near Fairfield industrial park in the Bill Quay area of Gateshead on Friday evening. Earlier, the schoolboy was remembered as a “valued and much-loved” pupil by David Thompson, the head teacher of Hebburn Comprehensive School. In a Facebook post, he spoke of the “tragic loss of one of our pupils,” and added: “Our school community is heartbroken. “Layton was a valued and much-loved member of Year 9, and he will be greatly missed by everyone. “We extend our sincere condolences to Layton’s family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. “As a school, we will rally together to support one another through this tragedy.” Anyone who wanted to pay their respects was invited to lay flowers at the school. Police were alerted to reports of the fire on Friday shortly after 8pm. The fire was extinguished a short time later but fears were raised for the missing teenager, who was believed to have been in the area at the time. A police spokesman said: “Sadly, following searches carried out by Northumbria Police and partners at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, a body believed to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was located deceased inside the building. “His next of kin have been informed and are currently being supported by specialist officers.” In a joint statement, local councillors Amanda Wintcher, Ian Patterson and Paul Diston said they “share our community’s sadness about the tragedy” and passed on their good wishes to the boy’s family and friends. They said: “We have been in touch with residents about concerns regarding anti-social behaviour at Fairfield industrial estate and the former Harrison’s slipway site nearby for some time.” A broken fence panel along the side of the warehouse and a reported fire were among the concerns. They said contact had been made with Securitas, Gateshead Council, the Fire Service and Northumbria Police and “some actions” had been taken. A police cordon was in place at the scene on Sunday and blue balloons in the shape of a number 14, along with floral tributes, were among the tributes placed by mourners. One of the messages, pinned to a bunch of flowers, read: “Thank you for brightening up our lives. You will be missed beyond words.” Another message said: “Rest in paradise, Layton. Always in our hearts. Fly high with the angels. Took too soon. Love you forever.” A GoFundMe page set up by a family friend to support Layton’s mother with funeral costs had raised more than £11,000 by 7.30pm on Sunday. Detective Chief Inspector Louise Jenkins, of Northumbria Police, previously described the events as “an extremely tragic incident where a boy has sadly lost his life”. She said: “Our thoughts are with Layton’s family as they begin to attempt to process the loss of their loved one. “Our specialist officers will continue to support them in whatever way they can. “We ask that their privacy be respected at this time.” She said a cordon would be in place while police carry out inquiries to establish “the full circumstances surrounding the incident”. Officers would be in the area to “offer reassurance to the public”, she added. Anyone who has information that could help the investigation has been urged to get in touch with Northumbria Police. Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Susan Dungworth said: “My heartfelt condolences are with the family and friends of Layton Carr at this devastating time. “I’m being kept updated regularly by the Chief Constable and her team and would like to thank all emergency services involved in the response and ongoing inquiries. “I know this will have come as a shock to the Bill Quay community and I echo officer requests for anyone with information to please get in touch with Northumbria Police.”",

A police cordon was in place at the scene on Sunday and blue balloons in the shape of a number 14, along with floral tributes, were among the tributes placed by mourners. One of the messages, pinned to a bunch of flowers, read: “Thank you for brightening up our lives. You will be missed beyond words.” Another message said: “Rest in paradise, Layton. Always in our hearts. Fly high with the angels. Took too soon. Love you forever.” A GoFundMe page set up by a family friend to support Layton’s mother with funeral costs had raised more than £11,000 by 7.30pm on Sunday. Detective Chief Inspector Louise Jenkins, of Northumbria Police, previously described the events as “an extremely tragic incident where a boy has sadly lost his life”. She said: “Our thoughts are with Layton’s family as they begin to attempt to process the loss of their loved one. “Our specialist officers will continue to support them in whatever way they can. “We ask that their privacy be respected at this time.” She said a cordon would be in place while police carry out inquiries to establish “the full circumstances surrounding the incident”. Officers would be in the area to “offer reassurance to the public”, she added. Anyone who has information that could help the investigation has been urged to get in touch with Northumbria Police. Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Susan Dungworth said: “My heartfelt condolences are with the family and friends of Layton Carr at this devastating time. “I’m being kept updated regularly by the Chief Constable and her team and would like to thank all emergency services involved in the response and ongoing inquiries. “I know this will have come as a shock to the Bill Quay community and I echo officer requests for anyone with information to please get in touch with Northumbria Police.”",

      • "content": "Fourteen children who were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the death of boy at an industrial estate in Gateshead have been released on police bail. The children, including 11 boys and three girls, were arrested after a body believed to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was found inside a building. On Sunday, a Northumbria Police spokesman said: “All those arrested have since been released on police bail pending further inquiries.” The arrests came after a fire broke out near Fairfield industrial park in the Bill Quay area of Gateshead on Friday evening. Earlier, the schoolboy was remembered as a “valued and much-loved” pupil by David Thompson, the head teacher of Hebburn Comprehensive School. In a Facebook post, he spoke of the “tragic loss of one of our pupils,” and added: “Our school community is heartbroken. “Layton was a valued and much-loved member of Year 9, and he will be greatly missed by everyone. “We extend our sincere condolences to Layton’s family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. “As a school, we will rally together to support one another through this tragedy.” Anyone who wanted to pay their respects was invited to lay flowers at the school. Police were alerted to reports of the fire on Friday shortly after 8pm. The fire was extinguished a short time later but fears were raised for the missing teenager, who was believed to have been in the area at the time. A police spokesman said: “Sadly, following searches carried out by Northumbria Police and partners at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, a body believed to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was located deceased inside the building. “His next of kin have been informed and are currently being supported by specialist officers.” In a joint statement, local councillors Amanda Wintcher, Ian Patterson and Paul Diston said they “share our community’s sadness about the tragedy” and passed on their good wishes to the boy’s family and friends. They said: “We have been in touch with residents about concerns regarding anti-social behaviour at Fairfield industrial estate and the former Harrison’s slipway site nearby for some time.” A broken fence panel along the side of the warehouse and a reported fire were among the concerns.
