13 h. ago Sunderland snatch promotion to Premier League by beating Sheffield United in playoff final

Was there a better sight than Luke O’Nien, his right arm cradled in a sling, racing down the touchline, punching the air with his left to celebrate Tommy Watson’s stoppage-time winner? Sunderland stormed back from a goal down after Tyrese Campbell’s first-half opener to return to the Premier League after eight years away.Sunderland’s performance was something of a slow-burner but ultimately found two big moments. The first was courtesy of Eliezer Mayenda, who scored with their second shot on goal, and the second will live long in the memory for both the goalscorer and those here to witness it. Watson, the 19-year-old forward who joined his boyhood club as an under-nine, stroked a wonderful shot into the bottom corner in stoppage time, extra time looming. Eventually, with 102 minutes showing on the big screens, confirmation: Sunderland are back in the big time. Continue reading...

It’s perhaps a little romantic to see The First Sight as his parting gift, but it’s certainly an impressive closing statement of his songwriting talent: an intricate mesh of guitars, a buoyant horn section, and a typically stunning tune.

3 d. ago Premier League race for Europe: who’s in, who needs what and how 10 could qualify

While the top and bottom of the Premier League are resolved, European spots are very much up for grabsIntrigue on the final day of the Premier League season is concentrated solely on who qualifies for Europe, but there is plenty of it. Seven clubs will enter the last round of matches unsure of which European competition they will be playing in next season, or in some cases whether they will be playing in Europe at all, with half of the division potentially competing in Uefa tournaments in 2025-26. Here is what is at stake on Sunday Continue reading...

7 d. ago Crab with potato cake and mango salad: Thomasina Miers’ recipes for a spring Sunday lunch

Fresh but filling crab cakes and a spicy, seasonal mango salad with crisped chickpeasI don’t know about you, but I’m revelling in the asparagus, early strawberries and new potatoes that are flooding the local farmer’s market. Traders are no longer wrapped up tightly to withstand the cold, and there is a spring in everyone’s step. At the fish stall, some dressed crab caught my eye, and while I love nothing more than crab on toast with thick aïoli or a nutty salsa macha, there was a nip in the air on the night in question, so I was drawn to this rich, warming dish instead. The onions are a vehicle for the spices, adding sweetness and depth to both potato cake and crab. On the side, a gloriously refreshing, spicy salad makes the most of mango season.

7 d. ago It’s not a rich list – it’s gone far beyond that. We need to talk about ‘extreme wealth’ | Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah

We recognise extreme poverty as ruinous, but this turbo-charged affluence is deeply damaging too. Treat it as suchDhananjayan Sriskandarajah is chief executive of the New Economics Foundation and author of Power to the PeopleOnce again, it’s the Hinduja family. Gopi Hinduja and his family, who run the Hinduja Group, are cited as Britain’s richest family in the latest Sunday Times rich list. The big story so far seems to be that their wealth has dropped to £35.3bn from £37.2bn the year before. But that story, and much of the discussion there will be this weekend, risks missing the real story. “Rich list” is barely the right description for the extreme wealth we should be talking about.In 1989, when the Sunday Times first published its annual rich list, to be included someone would need to have 6,000 times the wealth of the average person in the UK. That’s already a pretty big gap – but this has now tripled to more than 18,000 times the average, according to a study by the University ...
