2 h. ago Manchester United reach Women’s FA Cup final after Bizet and Clinton sink City

It would be wrong to suggest there has been a seismic shift in momentum in Manchester, but United’s 2-0 defeat of a beleaguered City to set up an FA Cup final against Chelsea showed a maturity and composure that has sometimes proved elusive in the fixture.City bowed out of the tournament with, ultimately, a whimper, their last hope of a trophy over within 22 minutes but written off by many before a ball was kicked at a windswept Academy stadium. Nick Cushing’s squad has been torn apart by injuries, their squad so threadbare that just four outfield players were named on the bench, including 17-year-old Sacha Lewis, who joined Derby on a dual registration in January to get playing minutes in the National League Northern Premier Division.

3 h. ago Virgil van Dijk’s header sinks West Ham to edge Liverpool closer to title

When Liverpool fans next congregate at Anfield in two Sundays’ time it should be for an occasion they have craved for 35 years: to celebrate a league title triumph in person. A dramatic late victory over West Ham, secured by Virgil van Dijk’s 89th minute winner, left Arne Slot’s side needing a maximum of six points to claim a record-equalling 20th league championship.The destiny of the Premier League title will be confirmed next Sunday should Arsenal lose at Ipswich and Liverpool win at Leicester. If not, two more wins will make sure for the Anfield club. Leicester and Tottenham come next. They can feel it. Liverpool were second best for much of the second half against Graham Potter’s visitors and indebted to goalkeeper Alisson for delaying an equaliser until a Van Dijk error forced Andy Robertson to concede an own goal in the 86th minute. But the Liverpool captain atoned in style and celebrated a precious winner by kissing the Liver bird on his chest. A new two-year contract to fol...

3 h. ago Nova Scotia House by Charlie Porter review – a headlong rush through the turbulent Aids era

Porter’s urgent prose propels the reader into the gay scene of the 1980s and early 90s as his protagonist’s life is torn apart by the HIV crisisThe humble comma, normally so easily overlooked within a page of text, is clearly Charlie Porter’s weapon of choice for his debut novel. Here, he wields it to propel his narrative forward in the kind of urgent, endless staccato rush that sometimes requires the reader to look briefly up and away, if only to gulp at some fresh air.Nova Scotia House, the 51-year-old journalist’s first work of fiction after two books on fashion, tells the story of living through the Aids crisis of the 1980s and early 90s, and how those who survived it will be forever accompanied by the ghostly presence of those who didn’t.Nova Scotia House by Charlie Porter is published by Particular Books (£18.99).

3 h. ago Cambridge sweep Oxford aside to maintain Boat Race dominance with double

Eighth straight win for Cambridge after women’s restartMen’s crew take third successive win over OxfordCambridge’s dominance continues. After a uniquely controversial buildup, the 170th men’s and 79th women’s events produced the expected result, with Oxford convincingly beaten in both. The Cambridge women’s crew claimed an eighth consecutive victory in dramatic circumstances while the men, after been pushed hard by Oxford early on, pulled away to seal a third successive win in crushing fashion.In the unedifying pre-event row over eligibility that led to three Oxford athletes being barred from racing, Oxford were accused of “slimy tactics” by their light-blue rivals, but ultimately none of it appeared to have an impact on the final outcome – unless it made Cambridge all the more motivated.
