The three months without Saka have been hard, Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge slipping away.There was certainly a script there to be written and, Saka being Saka, he grabbed the pen and set to work. Arsenal have an incredible home record in the league against Fulham – 24 wins, seven draws and no defeats before this. They were on their way to another victory thanks to a Mikel Merino goal on 37 minutes, the latest return from the club’s makeshift No 9. Continue reading...

Arsenal’s Spanish forward on fighting to win support for women’s football, leaving a successful Barcelona team and the stress of winning the World CupWhen Mariona Caldentey was a student, reading sports science at university, she could see the Camp Nou scoreboard from her bedroom window on the top floor of 63 Travessera de les Corts.

1 week ago New Zealand v Australia: second women’s T20 international – live

Updates from the second match of the series at Bay OvalAustralia has set New Zealand a record run-chase of 205Any thoughts? Get in touch by emailing Angus4th over: Australia 43-0 (Mooney 9, Voll 33) Bowling change for New Zealand. It will be Rosemary Mair. First ball is wide down legside and Voll works the second behind square for two. Mair now goes wide outside off and Voll gives it the axeman’s jazz but can’t pierce the field.

A quick single brings Voll on strike and she gets down on one knee and thumps it over mid wicket! Georgia Voll is on fire t...
