18 h. ago Malo Gusto’s first professional goal sets up Chelsea cruise past winless Wolves

Relegation beckons when all it takes to undo 51 minutes of hard graft is a full-back without a goal in 165 games for club and country popping up to break the deadlock. This is the reality for Wolves now. They are in a miserable state, so much so that it is hard to see why Rob Edwards is prepared to leave Middlesbrough to take the vacancy at Molineux, and they looked utterly bereft of fight as Chelsea handed them their ninth defeat of the season.It turned into a rout once Malo Gusto had set Chelsea on the path to victory by scoring the first senior goal of his career. Further strikes from Pedro Neto and João Pedro added a more realistic look to the scoreline. Chelsea, who are up to second, were dominant.

Last weekend’s Cambridgeshire train attack brought up a question that we often ask ourselves. But the answer isn’t simple Emma Kavanagh is a psychologist who has worked for the police and the militaryThe devastating attack on train passengers in Cambridgeshire last weekend was shocking. There has been talk of heroes who risked their lives to help others, and of those who hid to save their lives. If you are anything like me, you will be asking yourself: what if that were me? How would I cope? And just who would I turn out to be when the worst happens?Some of us imagine that we would vault to the rescue, fighting off attackers.
