44 m. ago Johnson’s early double sets Tottenham on way to emphatic win at Ipswich

Some afternoons come like a kick in the teeth. Not only did Ipswich suffer a fourth successive home defeat in a game that never felt as one-sided as the scoreline ultimately suggested but fourth-bottom Wolves inflicted on Bournemouth only their second defeat in 16. After weeks of bubbling along in touch, the gap to safety is now five points and survival is becoming an ever more distant prospect.There was no sense in which this was an undeserved win for Spurs, some sort of smash and grab to offend notions of dignity and propriety, but equally it wasn’t entirely convincing. Not for the first time this season, there was a sense that if only Ipswich had been able to seize their opportunity, it might have been very different. Continue reading...

46 m. ago West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen delivers major blow to Arsenal’s title hopes

So it turns out Arsenal should have signed a striker. Fourteen months after they last put a major dent in Arsenal’s title aspirations, a goal from Jarrod Bowen secured West Ham’s second successive Premier League away win over their north London rivals as Mikel Arteta’s side saw their hopes of maintaining the pressure on leaders Liverpool evaporate.To compound Arteta’s misery, substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly was shown a straight red card in the second half as Arsenal – who had toiled with Mikel Merino again filling in as a makeshift attacker – struggled to find an equaliser against a defence that would have done Graham Potter’s predecessor, David Moyes, proud. Yet while this was a welcome triumph for Potter, it also laid bare the deficiencies in Arsenal’s squad caused by so many injuries to forward players that has made their task of overhauling Arne Slot’s side almost impossible. A first defeat in 15 games – a run that had stretched back to the start of November – almost leaves them n...

2 h. ago From the new Sambas to the best shoes for a soggy run – 64 trainers to tick every box

Want to know the best way to keep your kicks clean? Looking for a comfy pair that aren’t gross? We’ve got all your trainer questions answeredI bet you know very few people who don’t own a single pair of trainers. Even the most cursory glance at people’s feet on the street, in the office or, occasionally, on a red carpet (Spike Lee is never not in his Air Jordans) is proof that they have transcended their original purpose.But does that mean it’s OK to wear them to work – and if so, which ones? Does wearing black or white ones show your age, as much perhaps as how you wear your socks? What should you actually wear to run in – and, most burning of all, what is the new Adidas Samba in this post-Rishi world (clue: there’s more than one)? Continue reading...
