Apollo gallery remains closed as police investigate €88m robbery and director faces questioning over securityIt is already, in a small way, Paris’s newest tourist attraction. “And on our right,” boomed the guide on the bateau mouche tour boat heading up the Seine, “the Louvre – and the window thieves smashed to steal France’s crown jewels.”The world’s most visited museum reopened on Wednesday for the first time since a gang of four men broke into its Apollo gallery on Sunday, making off with €88m (£76m) of Napoleonic jewellery in France’s most dramatic heist in decades.

17 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 When Haaland was withdrawn with five minutes to go, there were whistles and relief; he, and they, could do no more damage.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...

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...

When José Mourinho arrived on Tyneside and immediately ­showered Eddie Howe and his players with ­lavish praise, Newcastle fans feared the worst. Although such worries ultimately evaporated, it took a fine goal from Anthony Gordon and two more from the substitute Harvey Barnes to reassure St James’ Park that Benfica’s new(ish) manager would not be inflicting any pain on Howe’s team.If Mourinho’s side, and their ­Belgium winger Dodi Lukébako especially, should remain unbowed by their contribution to an ­initially intriguing, highly compelling ­Champions League duel, Benfica’s hopes of reaching the knockout stages appear almost in tatters.
