3 h. ago Ollie Watkins on target as Aston Villa beat Bournemouth to boost top

A little over a month ago Aston Villa were preparing for the Parc des Princes and while they have enjoyed some memorable trips on the continent this campaign, it was hard to escape the sense that this one, in more modest surroundings in the spring Dorset sunshine, was arguably their most significant takeaway of the season yet. It probably felt even bigger for Unai Emery given his side finished with 10 men, Jacob Ramsey sent off late on for a second yellow card offence. And then deep into second-half stoppage time, Emiliano Martínez made a magnificent save to prevent Antoine Semenyo from side-footing in an equaliser.Ollie Watkins scored the only goal on the verge of half-time, his deft finish sufficient to earn a priceless Villa win in the race to qualify again for the Champions League and eclipse Gabriel Agbonlahor’s Premier League goalscoring record, this the England striker’s 75th in the top flight. “Something tells me I’m into something good,” crooned the 1,307 away supporters on...

The town was ripped apart and the economy decimated. But now the football club will make an emotional returnIt was about 7pm when UMF Grindavík’s players finished training in the club’s indoor hall. There had been seismic activity in the area all day but, in this harbour town to the south of Iceland’s famous Blue Lagoon, everybody had become wearily used to that. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions had been a discomfiting, menacing backdrop to the previous three years. Everyday life had continued but now, on 10 November 2023, nature was to have its say. Four hours after its football team had completed their session, the danger had become intolerable and Grindavík was evacuated. Their once-thriving home quickly turned into a ghost town.Nobody would dream of using the hall for football now. Its pitch is cleaved in two by a fissure up to 25 metres deep; one of the most striking images in a settlement that has been ripped apart. A chasm has destroyed their outdoor practice pitch too.
