1 hour ago Curtis Jones strikes to sink Chelsea and reclaim top spot for Liverpool

Contenders or pretenders? It was a legitimate question to ask of Liverpool following an almost flawless start to life under Arne Slot, albeit one lacking a first serious Premier League test. Chelsea provided it and Liverpool found the answers, returning to the top of the table courtesy of a gruelling, engrossing defeat of Enzo Maresco’s emerging team.Mohamed Salah and the outstanding Curtis Jones delivered victory – a seventh in eight league games under Slot – either side of Nicolas Jackson’s second-half equaliser. VAR and the referee, John Brooks, also featured prominently, unfortunately. Chelsea played with confidence but little cutting edge.

2 hours ago The Guardian view on North Koreans in Ukraine: a Russian war is using foreign labour | Editorial

Moscow is relying on soldiers and workers enlisted from abroad to keep its war goingAround 1 million soldiers are believed to have been killed or wounded in Russia’s war in Ukraine.
