58 h. ago Bernabéu erupts as Rüdiger’s late show seals Copa del Rey final spot for Madrid

Real Madrid 4-4 Real Sociedad (agg 5-4)Defender heads dramatic extra-time winnerAt one minute past midnight a self-declared madman sent the Santiago Bernabéu into a state of delirium and Real Madrid into the final of the Copa del Rey. El Loco leapt above the Real Sociedad defence and into the stands at the north end of this stadium, where supporters had seen their team go and do it again, their way. It had been long, it had been wild, and at the end of the night, somehow they were the ones celebrating, which it seems they always are. Madrid did not win and were not always very good until they were irresistible, but it was enough.Three times they had trailed but ultimately a draw, secured by the thumping forehead of Antonio Rüdiger in the 115th minute was enough. A game that went from 0-1 to 1-1, 1-3 to 3-3, and then 3-4 finally finished 4-4 deep into extra time. Continue reading...

5 d. ago Nuno applauds Nottingham Forest after reaching Wembley FA Cup semi

Forest clinch third successive shootout win in FA Cup‘It is a huge moment for us in our journey together’Nuno Espírito Santo paid tribute to goalkeeper Matz Sels and his Nottingham Forest team after they beat Brighton in a penalty shootout to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in more than 30 years.Having seen off Exeter and Ipswich in rounds four and five, Sels consulted notes on his water bottle before saving spot-kicks from Jack Hinshelwood and Diego Gómez after both sides had cancelled each other out during normal and extra time. It was left to the captain Ryan Yates to score the winning penalty for Forest, who are also on course to qualify for next season’s Champions League via the Premier League, even if he will miss the semi-final having been booked during extra time.

5 d. ago Sels saves edge Nottingham Forest past Brighton on penalties to reach FA Cup semis

This season just keeps getting better for Nottingham Forest. A third successive penalty shootout victory in this season’s FA Cup thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Matz Sels booked a place in the semi-final for the first time since 1991 as Nuno Espírito Santo’s side showed all their fighting spirit that has served them so well in the Premier League.The Forest manager will argue that it was the result they deserved after the video assistant referee’s controversial decision to overrule a second-half penalty that was originally awarded by referee Peter Bankes. But having come closest to winning it during extra time, this was a bitter pill for Fabian Hürzeler and his side to swallow as they attempted to reach a third semi-final in seven seasons.

1 week ago Life in the old dog yet: how biotech firms are looking to extend the lives of our pets

If you could increase the lifespan of your pet dog or cat, would you? And what is the real cost of doing so?Last November, my family brought home a puppy. Frankie was eight weeks old when he came to live with us, and right now, watching him bound around with my seven-year-old son, I don’t want to imagine ever saying goodbye to him. Well, maybe I won’t need to, or rather, I can at least kick that day into the long grass, and buy Frankie some extra time. After all, scientific understanding of the mechanisms of ageing has never been better; there is a plethora of longevity products to choose from and more in the pipeline, including a kind of diet pill for dogs; and, thanks to research into lifespan expansion for pets over the last decade, prescription-based longevity interventions that are now approaching FDA approval. All I have to do, it seems, is put in the time, care and (lots of) cash.But should I do so? Don’t our pets live long enough already? And whose needs would I be serving –...

2 w. ago Rory McIlroy to return on fifth day for playoff against JJ Spaun

Players Championship to be settled over three holesLeading pair back on Monday after weather delayRory McIlroy’s bid for a second Players Championship will rumble into a fifth day. He may well be grateful for that; in the final meaningful act of day four, the little-known JJ Spaun came within a couple of ball rotations of snatching the PGA Tour’s marquee event from McIlroy’s grasp. How that would have stung the Northern Irishman. The pair will instead return on Monday morning for a three hole playoff. McIlroy is the clear favourite but Spaun, with nothing to lose, carries menace.As with so much involving McIlroy, this proved dramatic stuff. He was four shots adrift of the lead before a shot was struck on Sunday. Inside five holes, he was tied at the top. A four-hour weather delay ensued; when McIlroy birdied the 12th upon return, he led by three. McIlroy played the closing six in one over as Spaun birdied the 14th and 16th to force extra time.
