3 h. ago Erling Haaland irresistible as Manchester City roll over Villarreal

Villarreal were Erling Haaland’s latest victims, a ninth consecutive Manchester City game clocked up with the Norwegian scoring. This time it was the first on the way to a largely comfortable 2-0 win in Spain that suggests that a team is emerging once again, with Bernardo Silva scoring the second in a first half of notable superiority before a second in which there were moments to suffer but not too many of them. When Haaland was withdrawn with five minutes to go, there were whistles and relief; he, and they, could do no more damage. He had already done enough, right from the start of what was a long night for the home side.City were not hanging about, Haaland, Savinho and Jérémy Doku combining to force Luíz Júnior into making his first save after just 26 seconds and the Norwegian heading just wide a little over two minutes later. It was not easy to define the formation Pep Guardiola applied; at times it looked something like 3-2‑4-1, with John Stones stepping in to defence when Vil...

3 h. ago Gyökeres double adds gloss to Arsenal’s Champions League rout of Atlético

The crazy thing was that Atlético Madrid were well in this Champions League tie until the 57th minute. Diego Simeone’s team had defended robustly. They had just hit the crossbar through Julián Alvarez. But then they were not and it was the speed and brutality with which Arsenal moved the game away from them that took the breath.There were more set-piece goals, inevitably – for the breakthrough and No 4. It was Declan Rice to Gabriel Magalhães and then a repeat of the link-up, the only difference being that Gabriel headed square for Viktor Gyökeres to bundle over the line. Continue reading...

6 h. ago Amy Jones and England cannot avoid Ashes’ shadow over Australia rematch

Sides have reached Women’s Cricket World Cup semis but last winter’s whitewash gives Wednesday’s game an edgeAmy Jones has claimed that January’s Ashes whitewash “hasn’t been a topic of discussion” before Wednesday’s World Cup clash between England and Australia. And if you believe that, you’ll believe anything.Both teams have qualified for the semi-finals, so you could argue little will be at stake in Indore. You would be wrong. First, given the run of results in this World Cup, these sides are almost certain to finish first and second and therefore avoid a semi-final clash against each other – which means this game could well be a precursor to the eventual final in Navi Mumbai on 2 November. Cricket is a game played partly in the mind: nobody wants to be thumped by their opponents two weeks before they meet them in a global tournament final. Continue reading...
