This time it was one that had stretched back more than 55 years, when Leeds became the last English team not to concede a goal in their opening four matches, in the 1969/70 European Cup campaign under Don Revie.Slavia Prague gave it their best shot and thought they had been awarded a late penalty, only for the video assistant referee to deny them. The Czech champions finally recorded a shot on target against David Raya in stoppage time, but Arsenal made it eight successive clean sheets in all competitions for the first time since they were in what was the Second Division, in 1903.

Former US vice-president a key figure in expanding White House’s power and ‘corrupting the intelligence-policy relationship’ to sell Iraq warDick Cheney, vice-president and giant of Republican politics, dies aged 84Dick Cheney, who has died aged 84, came to be seen as a moderate in his later years for his staunch opposition to Donald Trump, but he also stands accused of paving the way for Trumpism by undermining the independence of the intelligence agencies and US adherence to international law.As George W Bush’s second-in-command in the “war on terror” declared after the 9/11 attacks, Cheney made himself one of the most powerful vice-presidents in US history, and was a key protagonist in the push to invade Iraq, as well as the use of torture on suspected al-Qaida members detained without charge in the CIA’s offshore “black sites”.

4 h. ago Donna Jean Godchaux supplied steel and soul to the Grateful Dead in their prime

Godchaux sang on classics by Elvis and Otis Redding and had a long solo career, but it’s as a member of the Dead’s classic, acid-drenched 70s lineup – and as the band’s only female member – that she will be remembered• Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, Grateful Dead singer, dies aged 78By her own admission, Donna Jean Godchaux was not a fan of the Grateful Dead when she arrived in California – then Donna Jean Thatcher – in 1970. Already a music industry veteran at 23, she had spent five years as a member of Southern Comfort, a group of singers regularly employed as backing vocalists at the renowned Fame studios in her native Alabama. But she was rigidly unimpressed with her San Francisco friends’ undying devotion to Jerry Garcia and co.
