3 hours ago Ollie Watkins completes comeback as Aston Villa dent Arsenal’s title bid

Mikel Arteta looked like he had seen a ghost. With his side leading 2-0 against Aston Villa thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz, the Arsenal manager must have felt they were within touching distance of a cathartic victory that would keep up the pressure on Liverpool.But having seen the Premier League leaders seal a dramatic late victory over Brentford earlier in the afternoon, once again Unai Emery had other plans against his former club. Arteta could only watch on in horror as Youri Tielemens pulled one back before Ollie Watkins volleyed home the equaliser to the delight of the Villa supporters and their manager, who celebrated wildly at the final whistle as he did back in March after a 2-0 victory here that eventually proved terminal to Arsenal’s title challenge last season.

4 hours ago The Observer view on the Gaza ceasefire: it’s time for both sides to think again

This brief, fragile pause is a chance for all involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict to accept that violence does not work The ceasefire in Gaza, due to begin tomorrow, will bring welcome relief from daily violence but amounts, at present, to little more than a fragile, temporary pause in a conflict that is far from over. Israel has not achieved its principal war aim, as defined by its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu: the total elimination of Hamas. Nor has Hamas achieved its objective: the destruction of Israel. The leaders responsible for the 7 October 2023 terrorist atrocities are dead. The organisation’s capabilities are severely reduced. But it has survived – which its supporters claim is a victory for Palestinian sumud (steadfastness).Most of the 98 remaining Israeli hostages, alive and dead, will not be freed in this first phase of the ceasefire, which is to last for six weeks. There is no agreed “day after” strategy for devastated Gaza, where nearly 47,000 Palestinians...

Third ODI: Australia, 308-8, beat England, 222, by 86 runsThird 50-over win gives hosts 6-0 lead heading into T20sThere was a sense of inevitability about the result of the third Ashes ODI, from the moment Ash Gardner decided she was going to pummel Sophie Ecclestone for six in her first over of the day. Gardner has been England’s Ashes nemesis before – who can forget the 12 wickets she took in the 2023 Trent Bridge Test while nursing a finger injury?Now, here she was, taking on England’s best bowler just seconds after Heather Knight had brought her on. Australia might have been four wickets down in the first 15, following an underwhelming 180 all out on Tuesday, but Gardner saw Ecclestone coming, came down the track, and struck the ball sweetly over the top. Two hours later she was celebrating a first international hundred, and England were left requiring a record-breaking 309 to win. Continue reading...
