Kate chose not to wear a new outfit as organisers asked guests at last night’s Earthshot Prize to “consider the environment when choosing their outfit”. Speaking at the first awards ceremony for his environmental prize, the Duke of Cambridge – wearing a 20-year-old pair of trousers – called for society to “unite in repairing our planet”. The royal couple were joined by stars including footballer Mo ‘ACTIONS’ Prince William at bash Salah and actresses Dame Emma Thompson and Emma Watson, who wore an upcycled dress. Awards co-host Clara Amfo said Prince William was “quite the actor” when filming the awards’ advert. The Duke launched the prize to find solutions to the planet’s environmental problems. Judges at the BBC-screened awards included broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, actress Cate Blanchett and singer Shakira. Ed Sheeran and Coldplay also performed at the ceremony in London and, in a film, William said: “The actions we choose or choose not to take in the next 10 years will determine the fate of the planet for the next thousand.” The ceremony comes ahead of the Cop26 UN climate change conference in Glasgow which the Queen, the Cambridges and the Prince of Wales will attend.

And in a wide-ranging study, in which they pass on life tips to the younger generation, they say 53 is the best age to be – but warn that being perfect “doesn’t exist”. Instead, they advise younger women to appreciate the small things in life, to love themselves and always go with “gut instinct”. In the study of 1,500 women, 27% described Older women’s advice to young losing your sex drive as you go through the menopause as a “complete myth”. Dr Paula Briggs, consultant gynecologist at the Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust and chair of the British Meno- ‘BEST YEARS’ 50s are fab pause Society, was “delighted” by the findings. She said: “Menopause can be a positive thing for women. However, for many it’s something they face with fear, not knowing what the future holds.” Other tips included making sure of financial independence, never staying in a job which you hate and to travel as much as possible. More practical advice included making time for yourself and looking after your teeth. In the survey by women’s health company Organon, a third of women over 50 recommended marrying for love and nothing else. news@irishmirror.ie @jeremyatmirror

Micheal Martin insisted the vaccine rollout had put Ireland in a different situation from earlier in the pandemic, despite rising infection rates. The 2,180 cases of coronavirus reported on Saturday was the highest number since January. A further 1,380 cases were reported on Sunday. While Mr Martin has insisted new measures are not on the horizon, he has already cautioned he cannot guarantee the lifting of the remaining restrictions will proceed as planned this coming Friday. That warning last week came after health experts flagged concerns about the trajectory of the virus. In an interview with the Sunday Independent, Mr Martin said: “We do not want to go back, and we are not contemplating going backwards. “The only issue facing us now is going forward and that is a decision we will make on the advice we receive from Nphet.” Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys said there is concern in Government about increasing transmission rates. She added Cabinet deliberations tomorrow will focus on the remaining restrictions, with the ongoing use of Covid certification set to be one issue under consideration. She told RTE: “We are concerned about the rising numbers and we will be making a decision on Tuesday, and we will be looking at the remaining restrictions.” Mrs Humphreys was also asked whether a call by Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn for people to work from home where possible over the autumn and winter is at odds with the Government’s phased return to the workplace plan. The minister insisted Government policy is clear, adding: “We want a phased return to work. And we will continue to work with employers, who I know have been facilitating this.” BY PAT FLANAGAN CLOSING time is being called on an increasing number of pubs after it was revealed 349 shut during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aaron Callan, 41, is now at home and recovering from his ordeal but has a long road ahead of him. He said: “I am not trying to change anyone’s opinion or choice but if my story tilts you over the fence to take the vaccine, please do.” Aaron and his wife Michelle, 44, are both vaccinated but in the first week of September he contracted the virus and an ambulance had to be called to bring him to hospital in the middle of the night. After a total of 28 days in hospital and with weeks of a recovery ahead of him at home, Aaron can currently only walk with oxygen and for five to seven minutes at a time. When he came home from hospital earlier this month, he could only manage three to five minutes. The couple, from Knockbridge, Co Louth, both tested positive. Aaron was working from home when he began to have chills and joint pain and then a cough arrived. He said the cough was “getting worse and worse to the point I felt really, really breathless and not being able to catch my breath”. It got to the point where an ambulance was called at 2am and Aaron was brought straight to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. He was on a Covid ward initially with doctors closely monitoring him. They began talking about transferring him to ICU and Aaron said: “The thought of having to go there really hit home to me. I felt, ‘Is this it, am I dying?’ “I was alone really and had nobody to talk to because I had that mask on and I could not make a phone call to my wife or anything. “The thoughts that went through my head were really scary.” In ICU he was put on a BiPAP machine to deliver oxygen. Aaron said: “If I could not handle that, the only option after that would be for me to be intubated. I was really concentrating on being able to breathe on that [BiPAP] machine because I was afraid that if they put me to sleep I would not wake up. “Then I turned a corner. I was released back to the ward from ICU.” Aaron has diabetes and severe psoriasis and believes he was more vulnerable to contracting the virus because he was on immune suppressant medication to treat the psoriasis. rEcovEring Louth man Aaron

The luxury villa where neighbours said the tragedy occurred is a six-bed house with a pool in a tree-lined cul-de-sac a short walk from Puerto Banus.

10 IRISH DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 18.10.2021 DMEEIR COMMENT 1st Floor, Independent House, 27-32 Talbot Street Dublin 1 irishmirror.ie Tears not cheers for shut pubs IT is regrettable that almost 350 of the country’s pubs have not renewed their licences since the start of the pandemic. While the bars involved have the option to reapply, it is almost certain the majority of these establishments will never reopen. Already many small towns and villages have lost their post offices, leaving the pub as the only social hub in the area, and now that is in jeopardy too. While city dwellers can choose to go to another public house if their local closes, that is not the case for those who live in rural Ireland. Indeed the closure of a village pub can sound the death knell for many local communities in the countryside. The disclosure that Cork has lost 37 bars and 33 have closed in Donegal should set alarm bells ringing in Leinster House. The latest round of closures comes not long after it was disclosed almost 1,500 pubs around the country have permanently shut their doors since 2005. This is a savage blow to rural counties in particular which were the hardest hit and where in many villages it is the centre of the community. There is hardly a city in the world that does not have at least one Irish bar and it would be a sad day if some towns in the country where they originated had none at all.

There’s still around 370,000 people in Ireland who have yet to get the jab. A small proportion may have a good medical reason not to and some have yet to be reached but the Irish Pharmacy Union reckons around half of them are committed “anti-vaxxers”.

Almost two years into a deadly global pandemic, these are the hard-core cranks, the wildly misinformed and the outrageously selfish. They are the kind of people who shout at healthcare workers and parade their ignorance and recklessness around in our streets, waving stupid signs. They won’t believe their own doctors and the world’s leading scientists – but they will believe some eejit called @RealVaxTruther97 posting idiotic crap about 5G masts and Bill Gates on Facebook. They are the people who are willing to risk their health – and the health around them – with a deadly virus that has killed millions but reckon that the scientifically-proven vaccines that can protect us all from that virus are “too risky”. They are “doing their own research” in the same way they presumably did the last time they got a tetanus shot. Of course, when they actually end up fighting for their lives in hospital, they’re using their last breath to say they should have been vaccinated. Well, the country has had enough of them. A survey this weekend found more than three-in-four Irish people think the unvaccinated should be subject to Covid restrictions to combat rising case numbers. They’ve made their decision so they can stay home with their nutty Facebook posts while the rest of us get on with our lives. Bring music to our ears..

He believes he can control it, that’s his business. “He might go drinking for a couple of weeks, then stop. “But it’s what he does in the couple of weeks where he’s on the booze where the trouble happens. “When I was with him, he wasn’t drinking.

But Heman Jangi, of Mauritius’ Central Criminal Investigation, said work is continuing on the case into the 2011 killing, with other “strong” elements being focussed on. Earlier this month, Raj Theekoy died by hanging but the circumstances remain unclear and police have not ruled out foul play. Speaking to local media, Mr Jangi said: “His death will certainly have a negative impact on the investigation. He was a valid element. “There are other strong elements in the file and the work on this side continues.” The McAreavey family lawyer Dick Ng Sui Wa, based in Mauritius, told the Irish Mirror Mr Theekoy’s death would not affect the case. Those reviewing the case believe the testimony Theekoy previously gave in the 2012 trial will be difficult to use if any new case is brought forward.

Theekoy, a cleaner at the resort, was initially provisionally charged with conspiracy to murder. But after 77 days locked up in prison, the case against him was dropped and he was granted immunity. He gave evidence against two other former workers at the luxury resort – Sandip Moneea and Avinash Treebhoowoon – when they later went on trial but were acquitted in 2012. Speaking to the Irish Mirror earlier this month, Mr Ng Sui Wa insisted despite the death of Theekoy he is continuing to fight for justice.

14 DMEEIR IRISH DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 18.10.2021 Found: caught at last Mirror Chris asks Smith about killing slain Body of Mopane Picture: @lionExpose! exclusive by christopher bucktin US Editor in Columbia, Missouri LION-kILLer Phillip Smith is finally cornered after slaying majestic pride leader Mopane. But the bloodthirsty physiotherapist still refused to apologise for killing the 12-year-old beast. Smith reportedly paid more than €35,000 to kill Mopane in Zimbabwe. Locals here in Columbia, Missouri, say he has been lying low since the August trip. When first approached, Smith joyfully said he was “doing good”. But his demeanour quickly changed when asked about Mopane, killed close to where lion Cecil was slaughtered six years ago. Asked whether the lion died a slow death as reported, after his poor shot with a bow and arrow, the physio said: “I don’t want to talk about it. How did you find me?” Smith, 46, then climbed into a €60,000 4x4 GMC truck with business partner Mark Dempsey and another colleague, and sped off. Smith and Dempsey run PEAK Sport and Spine. Missouri’s largest privately owned outpatient physical therapy company, it helps fund the father of three’s sick killing trips. Animal rights campaigners described Smith as a monster, commended the Mirror for tackling him and called on the UK Government to ban trophy hunting. Eduardo Gonçalves, founder of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting and author of several books on the industry, said: “The killing of Mopane is even worse than the shooting of Cecil that shocked the world in 2015. “Cecil was lured with bait out of the safety of the national park, shot with a bow, and left overnight to drown in his blood. Mopane was lured out of the very same park, killed in the very same location, by the very same hunting company. But whereas Cecil’s killer Walter Palmer left him to wallow in agony for 11 hours, reports state Mopane was left by his killer to suffer in appalling agony for... 24 hours. “Trophy hunting is a vile, barbaric hangover of colonialism.” Animal rights activist and After Life star Peter Egan said that Governments of the UK, France, Australia and the Netherlands all promised to ban trophy hunting, with only the UK failing to follow through on the pledge. “Around nine in 10 voters want the government to ban all trophies right now,” he added. “What on earth is Boris Johnson waiting for? “This is nothing short of ecocide.” Mopane was slain on August 5. Smith and a guide are said to have used an elephant carcass to lure The lion killer Mirrorman tackles the wealthy physiotherapist who shot pride’s leader doomed Mopane & other lions in his pride Mopane out of the Hwange National Park – where hunting is illegal – into Antoinette farm. Locals claim the cat had to be finished off the next day by a bullet, after suffering hours of agony. Mopane was tracked down with the help of Dinguzulu Safaris, the group used by millionaire Palmer in 2015. Days earlier, Mopane’s killer and another tourist had reportedly shot a leopard. It is not known whether Smith intends to import the lion to be stuffed as many American hunters do. Although black-maned Mopane had a dangerous reputation when young, fatherhood had settled him. Conservation experts fear that with Mopane gone, his pride will be defenceless to other adult males who, in order to make the females want to mate with them, will kill the cubs. Smith boasted in 2019 on a hunting website he was “working my way through a goal of hunting all of the North American big game animals”. It came as he recalled killing a polar bear in northern Canada. On the same website, Huntin’ Fool, he also detailed how in 2019, he trained his then 11-year-old son to kill a bull elk. He said it was a “great feeling” when they tracked the wounded animal and found its body. pleased Smith poses with corpse A spokesperson for LionExpose!, one of Africa’s leading anti-hunting activists and which first revealed Smith as Mopane’s killer, told the Daily Mirror: “African lions are the most exploited animals in the world. “Those supposed scientists who claim trophy hunting benefits conservation are lying. Often they are funded by trophy-hunting organisations. “Mopane’s pride and offspring have been hiding, stressed and dispersed.” The spokesperson said Smith could mitigate the damage he had done by paying for guides to track and protect the rest of the now-leaderless pride. They added: “An urgent morato- rium stopping hunting of all wild African lions must be called for until they do a realistic count. They are hurtling them to extinction in the wild at the speed of a bullet.” The Worldwide Fund for Nature classifies lions as “vulnerable”, with only around 20,000 adults left in the wild in Africa. Between 2009 and 2018, 7,667 lion trophies were traded internationally, including into the US and the European Union. President Joe Biden wants to restore wildlife protections erased by predecessor Donald Trump but it will take years before the legislation is in place, a report found. news@irishmirror.ie

The first meeting of Belfast Samaritans was held in the chapter house of the city’s St anne’s Cathedral in 1961. Volunteers past and present returned there yesterday for a service of thanksgiving to reflect on six decades of work to support people through dark times. The branch has remained open seven days a week since its creation. In 1974, during the height of the Troubles, it was forced to close for just two hours due to a nearby bomb threat. Last year the branch answered more than 32,000 calls, replied to over 2,600 emails and had almost 300 contacts with callers through a new pilot of an online chat service. Sue Cunningham, the volunteer director at Belfast Samaritans, said: “Our volunteers are very proud to be celebrating this milestone, some of whom have been part of the branch for a great many years. “This is recognition of the endless hours they give so freely year-on-year supporting those who need us and the additional hours given by so many volunteers in the running of all aspects of the branch.” Man injured in park row a MaN was taken to hospital with hand injuries after an “altercation” in a popular city centre park.

Mark, who plays Jimmy and amanda’s son anthony in the RTe gangland series, said as an actor aidan experienced the same complications with his own name. Gillen, real name aidan Murphy, changed his acting name after receiving a letter to his agency in London from another aidan Murphy who said he owned the title. Dubliner Mark, 17, told the Irish Mirror: “He gave me one bit of advice. I went by the name Mark McKenna and I never took too much thought of it as an actor, which I don’t know why. “But there’s another Mark McKenna, who is a fabulous actor. “He’s in Wayne and Sing Street. So I thought, ‘Wait, we both have the same name’, that won’t make any sense if we’re both going by the same name. “So aidan gave me a little advice. He had to change his name as well so he goes, ‘you should probably change your name so you get recognised more as you’. “So he advised me to change my name to Mark McKenna Jr. “So that’s why I’m going by the Jr. My dad’s name is Mark as well so it’s not too strange. “He was really good with the acting advice.” INterpret emmett J Scanlan, who plays Mark’s dad Jimmy, and Charlie Cox, who plays his uncle Michael in the crime drama, were also doling out free acting advice. Mark said: “One advice I got off Charlie Cox and emmett was to leave what happens on set on set. Like if you had a bad day, don’t bring it home and think, ‘I could’ve done better’. “Just leave it there and don’t bring it home with you because whatever happened there just happened, there is no need to bring it with you. “and they also told me one of the best acting advices I ever had was act with your eyes, don’t act with your mouth, so use your eyes to interpret how you feel. I don’t know, but for some reason that just makes me go wow... like it opened my eyes to it. “It was completely different. I was in Fair City in 2018 and I played Killo and I was meant to be a thug and strong-armed. “But then I progressed and my character actually changed in 2020.

20 IRISH DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 18.10.2021 DMEEIR Slain Seema’s father ‘died of a broken heart’ reality star EXCLUSIVE BY Paul Healy THE father of tragic Seema Banu has died of a broken heart, her family have said. The bodies of the 37-year-old, her daughter Asfira, 11, and sixyear-old son Faizan were discovered at their home in Llewellyn Court, Rathfarnham in South Dublin, on October 28 last year. Ms Banu’s husband Sameer Syed 37, the father of both children, is due to go on trial next summer charged with their murder. With their first anniversary approaching, the family of Ms Banu spoke to this paper and told how her father – Abdul Ghaffar sadly died earlier this year. A relative said: “He was heartbroken, he died from the stress of it all and the [court] case. “We have full faith in the Irish public and in the gardai that we can get our justice. “We want to thank you all for supporting us in our bad times tragicSeema Banu with kids and, inset, her dad and for standing with us.” Ms Banu’s father Abdul and mum Qurishidun-nisa told previously how they were “very, very sad” after they received the shocking news that their daughter and grandkids were found lifeless. Remembering their beloved daughter, they said: “She was a very kind-hearted person. “When she used to visit India she would spend time with everyone and stay in touch with everyone. “She was bold, she has faced all the challenges in her life. She was like one of the main decisionmakers for the family. “We have lost all three precious gems of our family. We are in shock and extreme pain for losing them.” Earlier this month the family told how their pain remained constant since the deaths of allegationsDad Sameer Syed, 37 their loved ones nearly a year ago. A cousin said: Picture: rte “It’s been one year since they passed away, but the pain in our hearts has remained constant. We are going through a lot of pain by losing our precious gems of our family. “Our hearts are not going to forget them till our last breath.” Syed, of Grosvenor Lodge, Rathmines, Dublin, is charged with murdering his wife and children and is set to go on trial next June. Ms Banu, who was from India, lived in the house in Llewellyn Court with her two children. Their bodies were found after residents in the estate became concerned when the family hadn’t been seen in several days and alerted the gardai. At a previous court hearing, Counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Brendan Grehan told Mr Justice Michael White at the Central Criminal Court the matter had just been returned for trial and said the accused was charged with the murder of his wife and two children. Mr Grehan said the District Court had made certain orders in light of a Court of Appeal ruling, but those no longer applied due to the change in the law. He added: “There is no impediment to them being named.” by NICK MCGRATH Social media stars often get a lot of flak for airbrushing their online lives – but reality TV queen Vicky Pattison makes sure her fans get the rough with the smooth. “I always endeavour to be super honest on Instagram because I feel like if you have that platform and you’re not using it responsibly, what is the point?” she explains. “So that includes the good days; the ‘Oh my God, please check out my new Pour Moi collection’, the ‘Oh my God, I’m in a new TV show’ and the ‘Oh my God, aren’t I gorgeous in this bikini?’ “But I’ll also post the ‘Oh my God, I’m on my period today and I feel rubbish, so I’m just gonna eat this entire pie’. “Or the ‘Oh my God, I’m having a breakout and I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin today’.” The 34-year-old influencer, who has 4.8 million online followers, recently had one of her uncomfortable days. It prompted a bleary-eyed, make-up free close-up, accompanied by an essay questioning the transparency of the manicured snaps on her Instagram feed. The ex-nightclub hostess, who shot to fame in 2011 on MTV’s Geordie Shore, talked about feeling “low and unwell”. She admitted she had slipped into the perilous pursuit of “chasing likes and validation from strangers online”. So what triggered this soul-searching by the 2015 I’m A Celebrity winner? “Nothing in particular,” says Vicky, who admitted recently she regretted having sex with former fiance Ricci Guarnaccio on the Newcastle-based reality show. “It was an amalgamation of things and everyone can relate to getting run down and not putting their mental health first. “I’ve had a really great summer and I’ve not said no to anything, whether it be work or holidays or parties or trips. “That’s all nice, but what goes up has to come down and the truth is I’ve burned the candle at both ends. “I felt burnt out and run down. When your battery’s low you don’t have the strength to fight everything else, whether it be trolls or a long day or a cold. “Everything got on top of me and I felt if I’m feeling like this, I guarantee there are thousands or maybe millions of other people who probably haven’t verbalised it and have let it eat them up inside. “I talk about stuff like this because I feel it encourages a healthy narrative. “But I do worry about sharing stuff like this because I’ve got such a seemingly charmed life and don’t want to look like a poor reality star who is having a whinge grog on the tyneVicky rose to fame on MTV series Geordie Shore jungle queen I’m a Celeb in 2015 life’s a battleOn Celebrity SAS and being ungrateful and self-indulgent.” To her credit, Vicky’s posts are as selfdeprecating as they are revelatory. They include a video of her “orgasm face” during a dinner date with her boyfriend and TOWIE star Ercan Ramadan, who shares her Essex home. The former Loose Women panellist, who appeared in the current series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, mostly has a positive interaction with fans due to her heart-on-her-sleeve attitude. She says: “I’ve had messages saying, ‘This really helped me come to terms with this,’ or ‘You made me realise there was life after I was cheated on’ or ‘I realised it’s OK to not shave every day’.” Vicky says she is neither the pin-up nor the double-chinned klutz she depicts

Celeb’s Instagram struggles and burnout on Instagram, adding: “The truth is like most women I’m multifaceted.” But her current positivity is in stark contrast to the depression and suicidal thoughts that plagued her in 2014, a year after she was convicted of a drunken assault on a female model. She was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and sought psychiatric help to manage her anger. The star will publish her self-help book Vicky Pattison: The Secret To Happy in January but freely admits she is still a work in progress. Vicky , who broke up with fiance John Noble in 2018 after he was snapped with a mystery blonde, says: “There’s no point in expecting your life to be perfect. A couple years ago I had this horrible run of luck. I was meant to get married and it didn’t happen. I lost my grandma, and I lost my best friend. “Up until that point I’d been doing the most to make it seem like I was strong and together and slim, all of those things. “But actually under the surface, I was in an unhappy relationship. “I was trying to look a way that I thought was going to make me happy and I was foregoing so many things that would bring me joy. “But life’s a journey isn’t it? You don’t just wake up one day when you hit 30 and go, ‘Oh, I’m lush’. “It’s not like that. But I’m much more content and happy with myself than I’ve ever been. “I’m finally in a place where I realise a number on a scale does not equate to happiness. “I’m also in a place where I know having a boyfriend is lovely but I realise if I’m not happy with who I am, that’s not gonna make me any happier.” Vicky is a feminist and is passionate about emotionally and sexually educating men. She says: “There are The truth is I’ve burned the candle at both ends.. I felt rundown vicky pattison on her recent health issues loads of misconceptions when you say you’re a feminist.

I put up a post recently about Sabina Nessa, Sarah Everard and Gabby Petito. “These are women who have all been killed by men and you just can’t ignore that 93% of women that are murdered are murdered by men. “I got some very horrible messages from men saying I was making them the enemy but I made it clear that not all men are the problem. “But there are still conversations where men say, ‘Was she gagging for it?’ and ‘Did you give it to her?’ “It’s never been right but now more than ever there is no place for it. “I understand not all men rape women and not all men hurt women. “But unless you stand up for women, hold other men accountable for the way they treat women, then you’re part of the problem. ■ The Pour Moi x Vicky Pattison Edit clothing range is available exclusively online at www.pourmoi.co.uk. news@irishmirror.ie

Dogs Trust has issued advice to owners to keep their pooches indoors over Halloween. Their hearing is approximately four times more sensitive than humans, so the sound of fireworks can easily overwhelm them. Research has revealed while three-quarters of dogs recover by the next morning following firework exposure, recovery can take up to one day in 10% of cases. Charity spokesperson Vonna Nolan said: “Our top tip this Halloween is to keep your dog safely indoors with a member of the family from early evening. “It’s so important not to leave dogs alone when fireworks are going off as they could panic without you and cause injury to themselves. “Despite the common misconception, it is OK to comfort your dog if they seek reassurance from you. Dogs can’t learn when they are terrified, so you won’t be reinforcing their fear. “Some dogs just want to hide as that’s how they feel safest, so we’re urging people to allow their dogs to choose whatever gives them the most It’s important not to leave your dog alone when fireworks are going off vonna nolan yesterday proud Maureen Kennelly €12.8m given to artists in new initiative By sally harding THE Arts Council is giving 20 artists and 163 organisations €12.8million.

Man fears for his health after being turned away by all local practices wheely angry eugene Tyson moved to enfield from dublin By Sally Harding a man with a serious genetic condition claims he is being forced to make a 90km round-trip for Gp care due to a chronic shortage of doctors in his area. Eugene Tyson, from Enfield, Co Meath, was diagnosed with the lifelong condition a number of years ago resulting in him requiring blood tests, scans and accessing prescriptions on a regular basis. But the 48-year-old said he has been turned away from every GP practice he has approached since moving to Enfield two years ago, citing a shortage of staff as the reason why they cannot take on new patients. Instead, Eugene has to travel 45km to and from Citywest in Dublin to visit a GP he had been attending while working and living in the capital. The struggle has become more evident over the last year as he has been working from home and has to make the long journeys specially to visit the only GP he can access. Telling of the stress it is causing him, Eugene said: “I have a genetic condition that means I need to have blood tests every three months and need to have a prescription for my medication. “As I was previously with Citywest Medical Centre in Citywest Shopping Centre, I have to continually go to this GP which is 44.5km away – a 90km approximate round trip. pandemic “Nobody will take me on as a new patient in Enfield. I need to see the GP regularly, if I don’t get this medication I could potentially have a stroke or a heart attack and I’m only in my 40s. “I’ve always had the condition, but I only got diagnosed with it in my 30s. “One doctor spotted it one day doing blood tests and now I’m on medication for the rest of my life. If they hadn’t spotted it, I could have potentially had a stroke and died. “I cannot keep going back and forth to Citywest and especially during these pandemic times. I don’t know what effect Covid would have on my system. “It is quite a daunting task to make the trip and it is really taking its toll on me now. “I have contacted all the GP practices in the area – Kilcock, Summerhill, Johnstownbridge – and all GPs are refusing to take me as a patient and have my medical records transferred to their It is quite a daunting task to make the trip and it is really taking its toll on me now eugene tyson enfield yesterday practice, stating a lack of staff.” The shortage of services in Enfield will have a huge impact on an ever-growing community, Eugene said. He added: “All I want to do is stay alive. “There are over 3,500 houses in Enfield at the moment and that is going to increase as there are plans for another 500 houses with no one having access to a GP locally. “I think anyone who lives locally should be able to access their own GP. “What if I was sick, if I had the flu, what am I supposed to do, get into the car and drive for 50km to a doctor when you are not feeling well, it doesn’t make sense.” The HSE has been contacted for comment. news@irishmirror.ie fruStrated Eugene Tyson

DMEEIR 26 IRISH DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 18.10.2021 DEAR COLEEN dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk your problems solved He’s admITTed To kIssIng an old gIrlfrIend Dear Coleen I’ve been seeing a really great guy for a few months after meeting online. I haven’t been in a serious relationship for some time, but I really thought this one could go somewhere. He’s gorgeous and funny, but also very kind, which I love. My issue is, the other night he confessed to kissing an old flame a couple of weeks after we met. He said at the time he didn’t know if things would work out with us, as it was so new, and we weren’t officially dating – just getting to know each other. He also made it clear that he doesn’t want to get involved again with this ex-girlfriend and it was just a drunken snog. I felt really upset by his confession, but I don’t know if I’m overreacting because I really like him and want it to work. Can you give me some perspective? Proposal while tidying the kitchen was a big letdown Dear Coleen I’ve been with my boyfriend for eight years, we’re both 36 and have a two-year-old son. I’ve always been keen to get married, but more so since having a baby. However, it’s never appealed to my boyfriend, so I gave up hope of him ever popping the question. The other side of things is that he’s a really great partner – loving and loyal – and he’s also proving to be a brilliant and caring father. That obviously means more to me than anything. The other night, though, he completely shocked me by asking me to marry him. It wasn’t a grand proposal. He basically said, “I think we should get married and do you fancy picking a ring at the weekend” when we were in the middle of clearing up the kitchen! I was happy, but also a bit miffed that it wasn’t romantic at all – it was almost said in passing. Plus, one of his best mates is getting married at the end of this year and I hope he didn’t ask me just because he doesn’t want to feel left out or because he feels he should. I want him to mean it and to want it because he loves me. Am I making too much of this? It’s “It wasn’t at all romantic and he almost said it in passing all I’ve wanted for so long, but it feels like a bit of an afterthought. I’d love your help. Coleen says OK, lots of men (sorry for the generalisation) find romantic gestures tricky or awkward. And, when it comes down to it, what’s more important – the fact he’s asked you to marry him and wants to be with you or a big romantic proposal? Also, true romance isn’t about those grand gestures, it’s about the small day-to-day stuff that shows you he cares, and it sounds as if he has that in bucket-loads. A guy who clears up the kitchen? Big tick! And his proposal was romantic in its own way – just those words are romantic. Also, he doesn’t sound like the type of chap who would suddenly want to get married just because his mate is. It’s taken him a while to get to this point. Marriage might not have seemed important to him in the past when you were younger and didn’t have your son, but maybe it just feels right to him now. I would run with it and enjoy it – plus there’s plenty of time for hearts and flowers down the line. Coleen says Well, I actually think it’s a good sign that he wanted to be honest with you – he obviously really likes you too and thinks the relationship could go somewhere. Now you’ve been dating a few months and it’s getting more serious, he wanted to come clean with you, so there are no secrets. It doesn’t sound as if there was anything more to it other than a kiss. When you’ve only been dating a couple of weeks and you’re still finding out if you want to keep seeing each other, I don’t think anything is set in stone. If you really like him, I’d forget about it. But obviously let him know that you are serious about the relationship now, so if he were to do anything like that again, it would be a deal breaker. you say I’d like to reply to the lady with a serial cheat for a husband (Dear Coleen, October 8). He will not change. Every time you take him back is a sign to him that he can continue with his despicable behaviour. Time to end it. If your kids are mature enough, talk to them. And confide in close family and friends. But I’m not sure telling the other woman’s partner will help him – or you. TS, via email PROBLEMS? Tell Coleen Nolan about them and she’ll give you an honest answer... every weekday in the Irish Mirror email: dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk – sorry, but Coleen can’t reply personally WRiTe To: Coleen Nolan, The Daily Mirror, One Canada Square, London E14 5AP I’ve been TempTed by my fIrsT love Dear Coleen I’ve been married for five years and have a two-year-old child. I met my wife on the rebound from a long-term relationship with a girl I’d known since we were 17 – it’s fair to say she was my first true love. However, it didn’t work out, mainly because I think we’d got together too young. I’m in my early 30s now and she’s been back in touch to say she’s split with her husband and wants to see me. My marriage is OK, but I wouldn’t say it’s great. I think we got together too fast and the baby put a big strain on the relationship. I know I shouldn’t see my ex, but I still love her and can’t help thinking: “What if?” Coleen says I wonder whether you’d be so interested in your ex if your marriage was really good. She’s popped back into your life when you’re feeling quite vulnerable. I would resist the urge to see this woman and focus on making your marriage better – try counselling, talk to your wife, reflect on your contribution to the relationship and see if you can work it out. If you can’t, then leave your marriage for you and not for someone else. Remind yourself you left your ex for a reason – it can’t have just been the age thing, it must not have felt right. There’s no reason to think a few years apart will have made a huge difference. Sign up to my newsletter! I’m excited to let you know that I’ve launched a fab newsletter, which I hope you’ll sign up to receive once a week via email. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on love, life and relationships, as well as my pick of the week’s readers’ problems. Sign up by visiting mirror.co.uk/coleen

In a flash forward, we see Meena lying motionless in the middle of a maze. Back to the present day, and the challenge begins with cries of enthusiasm. As the survivalists jump into their rafts and set off down the river, Billy and Ben try to rally their teammates. It seems to go well, but the day takes a horrible turn. Pick of the day PACKED Corey’s off to Germany GET IN LINE Kendall and Logan at war CORONATION STREET Virgin Media One, 7.30pm and 8.30pm Debbie makes the final preparations for her House of Horrors event, with a stack of barrels being lined up by the beer tent.

SUCCESSION Sky Atlantic, 9pm FANS have waited two long years for this hugely-anticipated third season of the satirical US drama about a dysfunctional business dynasty. It follows the Roy family, which owns Waystar RoyCo, a global media and entertainment conglomerate, as members fight for control THE TRICK BBC1, 8.30pm Jason Watkins, Victoria Hamilton, George MacKay and Jerome Flynn star in this one-off conspiracy thriller, telling the story of the 2009 Climategate scandal. The 90-minute film tells what happened when world-renowned Professor Philip Jones, director of climate research at the University of East Anglia, found himself at the eye of an international media storm, and the victim of cyberterrorism as hackers stole thousands of emails and documents. Watkins plays Prof Jones, who and practically rip each other to shreds in the process. The Roys are perhaps TV’s most awful, morally-corrupt family, and while you can in no way root for a single one of them, this is still one of the best (Emmy-winning) shows on television. When we left them, Kendall (Jeremy Strong) had been lined up as the fall guy for the company’s complicity in corruption. But at the SCRUTINY Watkins, right, plays ProfJones was unjustly persecuted, while Hamilton plays his wife Ruth, his fierce and loyal supporter, as they fight to be exonerated. The drama explores how a media storm whipped up by climate-change deniers undermined public confidence in the science, and how the concept of truth took a back seat. Watkins says: “It is a privilege to play the brilliant scientist, Phil Jones, whose own private world was so threatened from outside and whose research and efforts have been so vital globally in combating the effects of climate change.” It’s an important story. 11th hour, refusing to be the scapegoat, Kendall stabbed the knife into his father Logan’s back on live television, calling him a bully and a liar who led a cover-up. Logan (a magnificent Brian Cox) just gave an enigmatic smile and the season ended as millions of viewers held their breath. So now what? The season picks up where we left them, as Logan, having been SAVE MONEY: MY BEAUTIFUL GREEN HOME UTV, 8pm Journalist Ranvir Singh and property expert and designer Kunle Barker show viewers how to achieve the “green dream” tonight without breaking the bank in the process.

The idea is to showcase how creative thinking can transform anyone’s home BUILDING HOPE Ranvir and Kunle ambushed by Kendall, finds himself in a perilous situation. His team, including power-hungry and competing daughter Shiv (Sarah Snook) and son Roman (Kieran Culkin), scramble to secure familial, political and financial alliances. Meanwhile, Kendall is also doing the same from another part of town. Tensions rise as a bitter corporate battle threatens to escalate into a family civil war. into a beautiful and sustainable environment, which not only helps to reduce the impact on the planet, but also saves cash. Producers have billed the show as a series which promises to “delight and demystify all things eco-build”. So if the idea of solar panels or a rain barrel is slightly overwhelming, we’ll be shown just how easy it really is. Ranvir also meets the owners and architects of some of the nation’s most trailblazing eco-builds and environmentally-friendly properties. Go green, save money, and save the planet too? Yes please...

32 IRISH DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 18.10.2021 DMEEIR by JASON HEAVEY RACING chiefs say a probe into allegations of bullying against Bryony Frost is close to a conclusion after details of its report were leaked. Jockey Robbie Dunne was charged with “conduct prejudicial to the integrity or good reputation” of the sport after a lengthy investigation, according to the Sunday Times. The British Horseracing Authority’s 120-page report is said to contain complaints from Frost about her weighing room colleague’s behaviour over several years. These include Dunne allegedly swearing at her after pulling up after a race and in the weighing room. Frost first revealed the difficulties she was facing in December after winning the King George VI Chase on Frodon having lodged a complaint with the BHA. Alongside allegations made by her of threatening and inappropriate behaviour by Dunne, the BHA investigators reveal how “there is a cultural issue in which threatening behaviour is condoned and not reported in the weighing room.” Last REPORT ON fROsT bullyiNg ClAiMs lEAKED month it was also confirmed that the report author and BHA head of integrity Chris Watts had left his job after four years. The Professional Jockeys’ Association (PJA) said last night it was concerned about a “serious data breach” within the BHA. The PJA said: “The article has published extracts of confidential case papers, the possession of which may have been the result of a serious data breach within the BHA. This is a deeply concerning development for all participants in the sport.” While the BHA declined to comment on the specifics of the case to ensure “procedural fairness”, the industry regulator expects the matter to conclude in the “near future” and said the details will be made public.

irishmirror.ie/sport MONDAY 18.10.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 35 AMERICAN FOOTBALL JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 23 MIAMI DOLPHINS 20 tottENHAM HotSPUR StADIUM JAG LAWRENCE IS HAIR TO THE NFL CROWN Trevor primed for greatness – and his first win is in London E-TYPE JAGUAR Lawrence was excellent against the Dolphins and is an extra-special talent By Keith Webster With his long blond locks and laid-back demeanour, trevor Lawrence is primed to be the next cab off the sporting hipster rank. For a Tommy Fleetwood approach to the 18th at St Andrews or a Stefanos Tsitsipas drop shot on Centre Court, we could soon be looking at a Lawrence touchdown pass at the Super Bowl. Selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars this year with the first pick in the NFL Draft, the 22-year-old has as much weight on his shoulders as Gareth Southgate’s young Englishmen heading for the Qatar World Cup. Since their birth in 1995, the Jaguars have rarely been worth the admission price. Over the past 10 seasons this team has been the poster child for sporting desperation. Mediocrity would be a welcome blessing. England’s 30, 40, 50 years of hurt resonate in Florida with a team and a set of fans who have watched others revel in triumph while they wallow in despair. Enter Trevor Lawrence five months ago to Messianic acclaim – a saviour in a time and a town of wavering faith. There were attempts by other teams to lure Jacksonville into a trade to get him, such was the belief in his ability. Whether or not Lawrence delivers on his potential in years to come, he will not forget the first time in his 22 years that he crossed an ocean, from north Florida to north London, to see thousands of his own No.16 shirts staring back at him in the 60,784 crowd at Tottenham. Having started his career as a professional athlete with five straight losses, a last-gasp Matthew Wright 53-yard field goal (above) sealed a thrilling debut win. After a nervy start, British fans were treated to one special moment that opened the imagination to Lawrence’s potential. With 40 seconds left in the first half, he fired a laser strike down the right sideline to Marvin Jones, who made a twisting, diving catch for a spectacular touchdown. Lawrence sacrificed himself to a huge hit from Jerome Baker as he let go of the pass, exhibiting that his talent is matched by bravery. With that he set the pulses racing and a comeback win in motion, with Wright landing field goals of 54 and 53 yards late in the game to win it. There will be many firsts in Trevor Lawrence’s career, but his first win will always belong to London.

County star Sean O’Shea hit 1-5 for the losing team but Conor Jordan’s early goal gave Stacks momentum. The rockies face East Kerry in the opening round of the County Championship proper next weekend. Elsewhere, defending champions Nemo rangers were dumped out of the Cork Championship after a late Daniel Harte goal gave Douglas a 1-10 to 0-11 victory. clare hurling star kellY set for oP anD rehab ClArE star Tony Kelly is expected to miss a large part of the 2022 National Hurling league with the Ballyea man set to undergo surgery this week on an ankle injury. Kelly came off the bench to help his club to a dramatic one-point win over Kilmaley in their Clare SHC quarter-final yesterday. The 2013 Hurler of the year and double All Star wasn’t fit enough to start the game but hit 0-2 after being introduced and was central to their success. Afterwards Ballyea boss robbie Hogan told Clare FM afterwards that his star man is set for surgery this week. Ballyea joined Éire Óg, Inagh- Kilnamona and Newmarket in the semifinals with the last four draw to be held tonight. ladies fooTball staunton’s off as long reign ends AN empire has fallen in Mayo football with kingpins Carnacon denied a 23rd senior ladies football title in a row by long-suffering rivals Knockmore. Mayo legend and current Aussie rules star Cora Staunton has been central to Carnacon’s incredible success over the last two decades but had a day to forget yesterday. The 39-year-old (above) was sin-binned in the first half and sent off after picking up a second yellow card late in the game as Knockmore eased to victory. lara Sweeney scored the only goal of the game in a convincing 1-16 to 0-7 victory in Ballina with Knockmore captain Shauna Howley scoring 0-9 herself before getting her hands on the trophy at long last. Boxing euBank chases Big fight Raheem, victoRy was foR you and youR old man Eubank Jnr dedicates emotional win to late brother Seb and his baby son By DaviD anDerson Boxing correspondent @MirrorAnderson CHRIS Eubank JnR dedicated his emotional win over Wanik awdijan to his late brother, Sebastian, and infant son. Sebastian tragically died of a heart attack in July, just a month after the birth of his son Raheem. And Eubank said his stoppage win at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena was for them. After his five-round victory Eubank posted a picture of himself with Raheem on Instagram with the message: “Raheem, tonight was for you and your old man. We miss him and now he’ll live By DaviD anDerson SAVANNAH MArSHAll has warned Claressa Shields she will destroy her in two minutes when they finally meet again. Shields watched Marshall’s two-round dismantling of the previously-unbeaten lolita Muzeya in Newcastle to retain her women’s WBO middleweight crown and the pair are on course to collide next year. The self-proclaimed GWOAT – on through you. Big shoes to fill.” The middleweight star had Sebastian’s name on his shorts and robe and the whole family is still trying to come to terms with his sudden death. Awdijan was Eubank’s first outing since Sebastian’s passing and he said it felt good to be back in the ring after he had seen a fight fall through two weeks ago. “With everything that’s happened over the last few months, it’s good to be back home,” he said. “That’s my home in that four-corner circle, that’s my life.” After taking a couple of rounds to adjust to Awdijan’s Greatest Woman Of All Time – joined Marshall in a live interview on Sky Sports, saying: “Congrats! See you next year, girlie. Show you what a real fighter and real champion fights like.” The unbeaten Marshall, who handed Shields her only defeat on her way to winning the 2012 world amateur championship, hit back, saying: “Claressa couldn’t last two minutes with me, never mind two rounds.” The two rivals FAMILY TRIBUTE Chris Jnr stopped awdijan & honoured brother Seb (both with their dad, top) and Seb’s son (right) southpaw stance after training for an orthodox fighter, Eubank broke the Armenian-born German, 26, with body shots. Eubank visibly hurt Awdijan in the fifth and he failed to answer the bell for the sixth, claiming one of his shots had broken a rib. “I’d liked to have put on more of a show. The guy came over and said I broke his rib with a body shot and that he couldn’t continue,” added Eubank, 32. He now wants a big fight in December, possibly against former world title challenger Liam Williams or are due to appear on the same BOXXEr show in December to tee up a huge 2022 showdown. The Peter Fury-trained Marshall weathered Muzeya’s early storm to stop the Zambian in the second round in a devastating display of her power. Marshall said: “I knew she would come and when I went back to the corner after the first round, Peter said ‘just weather the storm, she’ll die after a his old rival Billy Joe Saunders – the “rat” as he called him. “We’re on to the next one, a big fight in December,” he said. “I want anybody with a world title, anybody the fans want to see me fight. A guy that keeps popping up is Liam Williams. Everybody seems to want to see that fight. That’s an option. “You’ve got that rat Saunders running around. He wants to fight me for five mil. The options are endless.” Trainer Roy Jones Jnr insists Eubank is ready for the step up as he bids to land his first major world title at Marshall: i’ll break shielDs in two Minutes couple of rounds’ and she only lasted one more. He said just ‘tuck up, catch her shots and just pick your own’, and he was right. “As soon as I went out I was catching her and put her on the back foot.

To have this amount of support is amazing.” middleweight. “Yes, I know he’s ready for the big names,” Jones said. “To see him take a guy out with body shots says something different and I’ve never seen him do that before.” A week after cousin Tyson’s glory in Las Vegas, Hughie Fury (left) took a step towards another world heavyweight title shot by stopping Christian Hammer in five rounds in Newcastle. The German, 34, retired with a torn right bicep and Fury claimed he wanted out. “The stoppage was coming no matter what,” he said. “You could see Hammer was sick of being hit. That was only 50 percent of me.”

DMEEIR irishmirror.ie MONDAY 18.10.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 37 errATIC Joey Carbery had a mixed game on Saturday JOHANN JUST ABOUT AVOIDS A CAR CRASH.. Munster 20 Connacht 18 By Derek Foley JOHANN vAN GRAAN avoided a week of questions over his leadership as Munster scraped a win over Connacht at Thomond Park. Faith in Joey Carbery at out-half, essentially central to the JvG plan, came within an ace of back-firing on the South African. Unconvincing for most of the game, Carbery may have set up the try that got the Reds in 7-6 ahead at half-time. But he was at fault 11 minutes from time when he had a routine clearance blocked. Connacht’s No.10 Jack Carty made the blockdown then gathered the ball to score before adding the conversion to leave his side five points ahead. A Diarmuid Barron try two minutes from time saved the Reds’ bacon, with Carbery converting for the win. “In every match, especially when you are a No.10, you’ve got up and down moments,” said van Graan of Carbery’s erratic performance. “The important thing for him mentally is that he stayed in the game and that is the sign of a class player. “We saw that late on when he made that conversion. “It is a 23-man game and it took everyone to get us into that position.” As margins went, it should be noted Carty missed a relatively simple conversion, hitting the post following an earlier Paul Boyle try. And it is clear van Graan’s margins are narrowing, not least in regard to the out-of-sorts Carbery. Simply put, Ben Healy looks the in-form Munster No.10. The Reds are away at Ospreys next Saturday before a travelling double-header to the Bulls and Lions in late November and early December, with both games to be played at lung-burning altitude. Munster’s opening Heineken Cup games follow – away at Wasps and home to Castres. Ospreys, Bulls, Lions, Wasps (all away) followed by Castres at home all before Christmas dinner. With such a tough run of fixtures to come, it’s imperative van Graan chooses his No.10 wisely. For now though, and on a far more pleasant plus side, the table doesn’t lie. Munster won on the night, their fourth URC win from four, a result van Graan can take to the bank. “It was a very physical interpro,” accepted the South African. “Both sides gave it all they got and while I’m thrilled that we won, small margins determined the result. “That’s the beauty of Irish rugby. We weren’t accurate enough in the first half specifically. “But good teams score when it matters and the try before half-time was a big moment. “We had a very strong wind in the second half and from a territory point of view we managed it pretty well. “We managed to come back from the charge down and finish the game pretty well.” uNITED RuGBY CHAMPIONSHIP leo: he is ciaran a path to top Cullen backs Frawley to continue hurdling any obstacles on his way to an Ireland cap By MIChAel SCully LEO CuLLEn believes Ciaran Frawley is moving closer to recognition at Test level. Frawley, 23, has adapted very well to life as a centre having been used there over the past 14 months. But he has lost none of his kicking ability, as he showed in firing over a tough conversion for Leinster in their big victory over Scarlets on Saturday as Johnny Sexton managed a hip flexor issue. The Skerries man returned to the fray after a HIA that was required in the wake of a nasty but accidental head collision with Gareth Davies in the RDS clash that saw the Blues chalk up a fourth URC victory in a row. With one round of URC fixtures to go this week – Leinster are in Glasgow on Friday night – Andy Farrell is also due to name his Ireland squad in the coming days for the November internationals. And an adaptable figure like Frawley, who can operate at a high level at out-half or centre, could be a useful asset. Cullen said: “Ciaran is improving all the time. He is build- ing up his experience. Hopefully he is not a million miles away from it (the squad).” The Leinster boss believes he can add something different for Farrell. “Ciaran was a little bit unlucky with a few of the injuries he had last year, which probably held him back,” said Cullen (inset). “He had surgery at the end of the season and he has worked hard over the course of the off-season and pre-season. “It’s good to see guys progressing and he’s in that bracket of younger guys.

Later, he emphasised the importance of ‘A’ and AIL games to keep his squad ticking over, especially with the URC set to switch off in November during the Test window. “Hopefully there is a good chunk of guys in the national squad, so they will be gone anyway,” he said. “Then it’s just URC STANDINGS LEinStER 50 SCARLEtS 15 P W D L F A Pts Ulster..........................4 4 0 0 125 50 20 Leinster .....................4 4 0 0 131 31 19 Munster ....................4 4 0 0 139 66 19 Glasgow Warriors 4 3 0 1 94 74 15 Ospreys .....................4 3 0 1 87 90 13 Edinburgh ................4 2 1 1 90 80 13 Cardiff Rugby .........4 2 0 2 89 85 10 Benetton ..................4 2 0 2 84 102 10 Stormers ..................4 1 1 2 80 86 7 Dragons ....................4 1 0 3 74 80 7 Connacht .................4 1 0 3 95 95 6 Lions ...........................4 1 0 3 70 101 6 Scarlets .....................4 1 0 3 86 132 6 Sharks........................4 1 0 3 85 113 5 Bulls ............................4 1 0 3 49 101 5 Zebre ..........................4 0 0 4 42 134 1 an opportunity for certain guys to refresh, recharge, like a mini pre-season as such as well because it is a long season. “Guys will get opportunities at different stages. “It’s slightly different to what we have had in the past, but it is what it is.

By Neil McleMaN ALLy McCOIST is to captain the Scotland team in the Battle of the Brits tennis match against England. Tournament director Jamie Murray will star in the home team along with his brother Andy at Aberdeen’s P&J Live Arena on December 21 and 22. Former Rangers boss McCoist (above) has agreed to captain the home team, with new British No.1 Cam Norrie also in the Scotland line-up. Norrie, who played in the final of the BNP Paribas Open in California overnight said: “It’s going to be great.” BRITISH SUPERBIKES taZ claiMs title with a hat-trick By Zoe BurN TAZ MACKENZIE yesterday became Bennetts British Superbike Champion – dominating the last round at Brands Hatch to end with a hat-trick of wins. The McAMS Yamaha rider (below) – who is poised for a World Superbike move in 2022 – clinched the title in the opening race with a dramatic last corner move on Oxford Ducati’s Tommy Bridewell. And not content with the win and title, he did the same on Bridewell at the same spot later in the afternoon to seal his third win. “I was in two minds in that whole first race, all I had thought about before it was winning it and nothing else,” said Mackenzie, whose title win comes 25 years after dad, Niall, won the first of his three BSB titles. “I knew if I won the race I’d win the championship,” he said. WORLD SUPERBIKES Redding wins but title is gone SCOTT REDDINg scorched to a hardfought victory in the Argentinian sunshine last night. But it was bittersweet for the Aruba.it Ducati rider as his title hopes vanished as Jonathan Rea and Toprak Razgatlioglu took second and third to guarantee a two-man showdown at the final round. “I didn’t feel that great and in the beginning there was a lot of fighting,” said Redding (above). “It was busy and I tried to show my aggressive side in those early laps. When I got to the front I didn’t make a mistake.” Home town hero Allen lands Alex Higgins trophy at the Waterfront as Antrim man shows his mettle in a come from behind victory armed with the trophy Mark Allen and his family celebrate his NI Open win at Waterfront last night ace of baize from the title as 59, 63, 64 and 136 By shaNe MacderMott HOME hero Mark Allen hailed winning the Northern Ireland Open as a moment he will “never forget” The Ulster potter punched the air in delighted after he produced a courageous comeback from 8-6 down to beat John Higgins 9-8 in a dramatic final at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall. Allen’s dreams of winning his home tournament came true as he clinched a sixth career ranking title. And the former Masters champion Allen pocketed £75,000 for his memorable victory on home soil and most importantly the famous Alex Higgins’ trophy in front of his army of home supporters. “To do it here is a dream come true for me,” beamed an emotional Allen, after his first ranking title for almost three years. It’s a moment I’ll never forget. It’s very special. “It’s a great buzz for me. I’ve tried to play it down all week but I know how much this tournament means to me. “I know how much snooker means to the Northern Ireland fans so to keep the trophy in Northern Ireland means everything to me. “I was trying to just take one ball at a time in the decider. “But I started to really panic because I knew the balls were there. All you could do there was fall apart. “I wanted to play one of the all-time greats in front of my home fans in Belfast and John is right up there.” Antrim ace Allen has had a tough relationship with the tournament in recent years as he’s struggled to get to grips with the weight of a nation’s expectations on his shoulders. The world No.11 has faced tough off-table troubles over the past couple of years with depression, divorce proceedings, bankruptcy and maintenance disputes all taking his focus away from the green-baize game. And it’s testament to his mental toughness that Allen pocketed his home title in fine fashion. The first session was shared 4-4 with the Pistol firing in a top break of 83 as runs of 123, 68 and 55 kept Higgins in touch. In the evening, Allen made visits of 70 and 85 to lead 6-5. But Higgins moved one step away hero GreaVes is BaNG uP For it All-rOuNdEr Chris Greaves was the hero as Scotland got their T20 World Cup campaign off to a dream start with a shock six-run win over highlyfancied Bangladesh in Muscat. The 31-year-old Greaves (right), in only his second T20 international, top-scored with 45 in his side’s 140-9 then took two crucial wickets with his leg spin as Scotland held their nerve in a tense finish. “We were in a tough situation,” said Greaves. “It was a just a case of re-building the innings at that stage and see where we could go from This means so much to the Northern Ireland fans and I am so happy to keep the trophy in Northern Ireland there. It was unbelievable, to be a part of that is incredible. “It was my day I think. There will be many other days when any one of us in that squad can be a part of it. I’m just so glad I could contribute what I did.” Put in to bat, Scotland were reeling at 53-6 in the 12th over as Shakib Al Hasan took two wickets to become the leading wicket-taker in T20 internationals. Greaves added 51 runs with Mark Watt, who hit 22 off 17 balls. That posted a decent total which proved enough as Bangladesh toiled to 134-7. gave him a very healthy 8-6 advantage. Allen kept himself alive by sending the match into a worthy decider by winning a scrappy 15th frame and a classy 58 break under immense pressure after Higgins missed a tough black when in to win the match. And he got over the line to the delight of his friends and family in attendance. Higgins was bidding for a 32nd ranking title with only Ronnie O’Sullivan (37) and Scottish compatriot Stephen Hendry (36) ahead of him. And gutted Higgins said: “Right now it’s pretty disappointing. “This game’s all about making memories and Mark will have one of the most amazing memories of his life winning it here.”

DMEEIR irishmirror.ie/sport MONDAY 18.10.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 39 europa league stars in their eyes By michael gannon CARL STARFELT insists Celtic are not giving up the fight for a Europa League knockout spot. But the defender admits his team simply have to focus on Ferencvaros as they fight to stay alive in the brutal qualification battle from Group G. Celtic and the Hungarians are both stuck at the bottom of the section with no points from two outings ahead of their showdown tomorrow in Glasgow’s East End. Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis both have six in the bag with the Germans didn’t they do well Carl Starfelt helped Celtic to a rare away clean sheet in the 2-0 win at Fir Park and Spanish long odds-on favourites to advance to the next phase. Celtic lost eight goals in their opening two group games against Betis and Bayer last month and appear to be fighting to overcome Ferencvaros to finish third in the table and at least secure a post-Christmas place in the Conference League knockout round. However, the Swede is not for tossing in the towel and said: “We are aiming to win every match and we hope, not only to finish third, but to go through. “We need good performances for that to happen. All our focus is on Tuesday. “We want to win on Tuesday and then go through. “I think we should have got points in Betis, so I think even though we face good teams, we can perform if we play well and get results. “In Betis, we were away to a very good side, but we still showed that we can compete and be good. “Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but we showed we can score goals and dominate. “We are also learning from these big matches, like the Betis and Leverkusen games. “A lot of our players have not played many European games against such opposition, so every time we go out celtic v FeReNcVAROS TOMORROW, 3.30pm Swedish defender says Celts can still get into Round of 32 we learn something.” Asked if six points from Ferencvaros, the team who knocked Celtic out of last season’s Champions League under Neil Lenon’s management, was a realistic target, Starfelt added: “Of course, I think that is realistic. “But right now it is Tuesday. We try to win and take it from there. “It is a very important game, but right now every game is important. Saturday at Motherwell was equally important.” Ange Postecoglou’s troops moved themselves back to within four points of the top of the Premiership with their win at Motherwell. wizard of oz puts a spell on jota JOTA reckons Tom Rogic has and said: “For sure he is finding their feet after his his form on to the continental special X-ray vision. someone who can see things switch from Lisbon. stage when his team tackle The in-form winger bagged that others cannot see.

Starfelt and his backline were able to savour a first clean sheet on the road at the ninth attempt. Starfelt said: “We will continue to grow and grow. “It is nice as a defender to get a clean sheet, of course. Also for the whole team but the most important thing is that we win. “We had a solid performance and we dominated most parts of the game. “Of course, it is one clean sheet and we should not fly away with it. We need to keep working hard. But I feel we are getting more comfortable with each other and the way we are playing.” cInch PREMIERshIP moRe pain Alfredo Morelos missed a host of chances for Gers at Ibrox he has mor in the tank Rangers 1 hearts 1 By andy newport STEVEN GERRARD admits Alfredo Morelos is in a slump but the Ibrox boss is backing his striker to hit the heights and rediscover his deadly best form. Morelos was off the boil as Gers threw away victory against Hearts on Sunday as he passed up five big chances to score. Worst of the lot came late on when Kemar Roofe teed him up to score four yards out but somehow the Colombian steered wide. PREMIER lEaguE tablE P W D L F A Pts Rangers 9 6 2 1 15 7 20 Hearts 9 5 4 0 15 6 19 Dundee United 9 5 2 2 8 5 17 Celtic 9 5 1 3 21 6 16 Hibernian 9 4 3 2 14 11 15 Motherwell 9 4 2 3 11 11 14 St Mirren 9 3 4 2 12 16 13 St Johnstone 9 2 3 4 6 9 9 Aberdeen 9 2 2 5 10 13 8 Livingston 9 2 1 6 6 13 7 Dundee 9 1 3 5 7 17 6 Ross County 9 0 3 6 8 19 3 That miss came back to haunt the champions when Craig Halkett netted a last-minute equaliser to cancel out John Lundstram’s opener as Gers blew the opportunity to move four points clear at the Premiership summit. Morelos has netted five times this season but has only managed two goals in his last 10 outings and Gerrard confessed the 25-year-old is still short of top form. The Rangers manager said: “I don’t think he’s at his best. But he’s still getting into the areas and he’s still getting chances. He must have had four or five on Saturday. “We need to maybe sharpen him up and get him to that next level and I’m sure the goals will come. “But he’s certainly not at his outstanding best, that’s for sure.” Morelos wasn’t the only one to blame for Saturday’s slip-up against Robbie Neilson’s men. Roofe had a big opening soon after coming off the bench but saw Craig Gordon force the ball against the post before Hearts cleared the danger. And Gerrard says it’s time his frontmen sharpened up. “I don’t think it’s confidence,” he said. “I think it’s that little bit of quality that’s needed. “We know we’ve got the talent there. We know we’ve got the ability. Players like Roofe last year scored constant goals, Morelos too. “Maybe two or three of them need to be that extra yard sharper when the chances come. “Need to be that little bit more ruthless, that little bit more selfish, just to kill teams off because we can’t keep creating 25, 26, 27 chances and only score one goal. That’s not enough.”

GAA EXTRA: pAGE 36 By PAUL O’HeHIR AARON GREENE has told the haters to keep on hating as it is helping – not hindering – Shamrock Rovers’ title charge. The defending champions surged 12-points clear at the top after Friday’s effortless 2-0 win over Sligo Rovers. And now they need a maximum of seven points from their final six games to reclaim the title with arch enemies Bohemians next up in Tallaght tonight. Not that they need it in this fixture, but Rovers have all the motivation they need after Bohs dumped them out of the FAI Cup in August. It was the Hoops second time losing to the Gypsies at Dalymount Park this season but Greene insists Rovers – who beat them in Tallaght – are focused on victory. An d h e says the swipes and jibes from outsiders about winning a Covidenforced 18-game league season in 2020 has helped fuel their trophy ambitions this year. Striker Greene (below) said: “I love it. Keep letting me hear about it. I love when people speak about us and doubt us. Getting beaten in Europe, writing us off, blah, blah…. “You’re hearing comments from everyone saying we’re beatable, the 18-game season, people criticise us. We love it. Keep talking about us. “I love it when people speak about us and call us vulnerable, beatable. That’s cool. We’re so far ahead of these teams points-wise, but they keep talking about us. “People still criticise us after winning an 18-game season. You hear what people say but it doesn’t have in brackets ‘Covid title’. “You still get a winners medal and I still handed it to my Da after the season. “We had it numerous times since I’ve been here, people always want to doubt us – but keep doubting us because we’ll just keep showing up.” Greene said: “We have seven points to get and while people like to speak about us, we just look after ourselves. “We’re not in papers talking about other teams. We look after ourselves and that’s drilled into us by the staff and management. “We’ll just look forward to tonight and be as professional as we always are. “The manager drills it into us day in, day out and this group will never change for that and if it does, you won’t be in this dressing room.” But with Bohs firmly in the hunt for Europe, Greene knows their fierce rivals are in no mood to roll over in Tallaght. The Gypsies will leapfrog Derry into fourth with a win and close within a point of thirdplaced Sligo. “They’re the best games in the country, ask both sets of players” said Greene, who also played for Bohs. “They’re unbelievable. “The atmosphere, even going over there when there were no fans. I love going into it and it’s like going into the lion’s den. “There probably won’t be a ticket in the place and it’ll be rocking. We got a bit of stick when we went there (Dalymount, in the FAI Cup) but that’s part and parcel of football. “I’m not going to cry about it. They beat us on the day and hopefully we can show up tonight and get three points and then it’s another four points to retain the title.”

irishmirror.ie/sport Ten games in 32 days, just bring it on.. We are ready for any test By MaRK MccaDDen ANDY LYONS is ready to take on a gruelling end-ofseason schedule, which could see the Bohemians full-back play 10 games over the next 32 days. It starts tonight away to arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers and ends on November 19 away to Sligo Rovers. In total, there are seven league games remaining and an FAI Cup semi-final with Bohemians, plus two U21 internationals against Italy and Sweden. And it won’t end there, if they are successful against Waterford in next Friday’s semi-final, with the FAI Cup decider pencilled in for November 28. “It’s a busy schedule,” said Lyons. “It is going to be a hectic few weeks, but we’ve got to be ready for it and we’ve got the squad for it. “Everyone is looking forward to it. It’s a big few months, but we are all ready to go.” Lyons (above) can’t wait to face Rovers tonight, knowing a win would move them ahead of fourth placed Derry City on goal-difference. It’s that, and not slowing the Hoops’ march to back-to- back Premier Division titles, that is motivating the 21-year-old and his team. “We are looking at our own selves, we’ve got to get a win, it’s our game-in-hand and it’s a big league game,” he said. “We are not concentrating on them too much, it’s about us at the end of the day and where we are in the table we are looking for another win. “We are looking forward to Monday but we are not treating it any differently to any other game.” Lyons featured in Bohemians’ last-gasp draw last Friday against Dundalk – having sat out Ireland’s U21 games against Luxembourg and Montenegro with an ankle knock. “It could be massive,” he said of the point earned on Friday. “When you look around the table today, there were some results there around us.

Well, every game is a big game with only eight or nine to go. We need to put another good performance in and hopefully get the result.” Bohs boss Keith Long, meanwhile, will this morning assess his options, with several players doubtful for the trip to Tallaght. “We had to make changes [against Dundalk],” he said. “Ciaran Kelly took a knock in training and we were just about able to patch him to put him on the bench.” James Finnerty (groin) and Rory Feely (suspended) missed the visit of the Lilywhites, while Keith Buckley started that game on the bench. “Ali Coote was sick for 10 days, not with Covid, so he’s only trained the last two,” added Long (below). shamRock RoveRs v Bohs tallaght stadium, 7.15pm (liVE on RtE2) eQUalISeR Georgie Kelly buries a late penalty for Bohs Kelly penalty eur fault: Vin By MaRK MccaDDen VINNY PERTH admits Georgie Kelly’s last-gasp equaliser has put a huge dent in Dundalk’s slim prospects of securing European qualification through the league. Had the Lilywhites held on at Dalymount Park on Friday night, they would have moved to within five points of third placed Sligo. Bizarrely, and indicating just how tight things are this year - outside of runaway leaders Shamrock Rovers and basement boys Longford Town - they would also have been five points above the relegation play-off spot.

We had to ride our luck a little bit, there is no doubt about it. “We had two or three big chances to seal the game, and three or four really good counterattacks where our final pass let us down.” Dundalk conceded in injury-time when Kelly scored from the penalty spot, after referee Damien MacGraith overruled his original decision to award a free AGAINST Ali Coote, after consulting with his assistant Darragh Keegan. Perth picked up a yellow card after he questioned the decision. “I just said, ‘Why did you let the linesman overrule you?’, no bad language, no nothing, and he just throws a yellow card,” he said. “That’s the new way of doing it, it doesn’t make sense, but it’s not good.

All eight of West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna’s Premier League goals have come from set-pieces, including seven from corners (one free-kick). All eight have also been scored against a different opponent. Small time Moyes turns Benitez jibe on its head as Ogbonna seals points for Hammers 0-1 By chRIS mcKeNNA IT was David Moyes’ Everton who Rafa Benitez once accused of having a ‘smalltime’ mentality. So Moyes – now at West Ham – may have enjoyed inflicting a first defeat on Benitez since the Spaniard took charge at Goodison Park. Angelo Ogbonna’s second-half header was the difference between the sides, the Hammers winning back-to-back league games at this ground for the first time since 1930. But there was little between them and there is not likely to be for most of the season, either. Both will be pushing for European places, if not threatening the big guns for the Champions League spots. And this was what you would expect from sides managed by Benitez and Moyes. Tight and tactical would be two words to describe it. angelo Ogbonna rises highest to head home West ham’s winner from a Jarrod Bowen corner Moyes, who was in charge of Everton when the then Liverpool boss called them “small time” after a 2007 Merseyside derby draw, secured just his fourth win in 18 games against a side managed by Benitez. It was an important one as well. Not because it put the Hammers above Everton and into seventh after eight games, but because it was one which laid down a marker against a side who will be their rivals for Europe. He will have also enjoyed getting the edge in a tight game against a tactician like Benitez, too. That was thanks to Ogbonna’s goal but also the midfield ability of Declan Rice who, at 22, continues to prove how valuable he is to this West Ham team. Everton had chances but they were squandered and in tight games that is going to hurt. Alex Iwobi’s first-half swing (below)

DMEEIR premier league goodison park MONDAY 18.10.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 43 SAM quek big deal and miss from a good cross from Demarai Gray was a particularly good opportunity wasted. Abdoulaye Doucoure then headed wide but it was a more difficult chance. Goodison was where Moyes first became a Premier League manager and where he spent 11 years in charge. So he knows better than anyone how the crowd can influence games. But they were pretty much silenced by the action in front of them as West Ham controlled the game without really penetrating the Toffees back line. When they did, the offside flag rightly ruled out an effort by Tomas Soucek. Everton pressed at the start of the second half and this time Iwobi connected with the ball but his shot was blocked. Then Salomon Rondon, an ineffective figure for the most part, glanced a header wide. The winner came in the 74th minute. A hacked clearance from Ben Godfrey spun into the air which led to an aerial challenge between Jordan Pickford and Michail Antonio. The ball dropped out behind the goal and the officials gave a corner, much to the anger of Pickford, who felt Antonio’s challenge was unfair although there seemed little wrong with it. He was further incensed when Ogbonna rose to head home Jarrod Bowen’s well-placed corner. Everton pushed for an equaliser but they badly missed Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, who are still out injured. Gray had a strike blocked by former Everton loanee Kurt Zouma. Bowen came close to rounding up the victory late on but curled wide at the other end. Everton’s second defeat in the league will now be a test of how they can bounce back when Watford visit next Saturday. RAFA IN SIX-YARD BOX CALL By Chris Mckenna RAFA BENITEZ demanded more protection for keepers in the six-yard box after his side’s first home defeat of the season. West Ham leapfrogged the Toffees in the table thanks to Angelo Ogbonna’s second-half header from a Jarrod Bowen corner. But Goodison boss Benitez (above) was not happy with the decision as he felt Michail Antonio had earlier fouled Jordan Pickford as they challenged for the ball. He said: “I have a problem because I am from Spain and normally in Europe the six-yard box is to protect the keeper. “When you have a player blocking the keeper in the six-yard area it is a free-kick and then you can argue whether there is a corner or not. You have to protect him. “I spoke to the fourth official but they have their own idea and I will not change that after so many years. Why do you have the six-yard box? It is there for the keeper.” Hammers counterpart David Moyes claims he did not see the incident back but is happy the updated rules allow more contact. He said: “I have definitely not seen it but there is a bit more contact in the game, we are enjoying it more and the game is a better watch than it was over the last two seasons.” Victory leaves the Hammers in seventh and Moyes added: “I want the team to challenge for Europe again. We have a good team.” Football is about to take centre stage and all eyes will be on ailing united After a relatively low-key start to the football season, this might just be the time when the Premier League comes alive. In recent weeks, huge heavyweight boxing fights and the NfL coming to england has seemed to take a lot of the attention of sporting fans – as well as a round of international football matches that did little to inspire anyone. However, in the coming weeks, football will take centre stage with Manchester United at the heart of the action. So far, we haven’t seen anything yet in the Premier League that, truthfully, we didn’t expect. Manchester City and Chelsea were always going to be serious forces this season and have already shown that. Most pundits knew that Liverpool were being written off far too much and the lethal power they showed at Watford on Saturday further reinforces the point that they are serious title contenders this season. Most sensible minds knew that the hype around the Cristiano ronaldo signing wasn’t going to solve some other serious weaknesses Manchester United still had – and the manner of the defeat at Leicester made this point yet again. Brentford’s start to the season has been decent but, that aside, there hasn’t been much we didn’t see coming. Of the four top teams mentioned, Manchester United have by far the toughest run of games coming up – including hosting both Liverpool and Manchester City, as well as an away game against tottenham Hotspur. this means one of two things for United. If they can pull off some decent results, particularly It wIll be interesting to see what impact there is at Newcastle United after the change of ownership. Building a team will take time and recruitment over more than just one transfer window but they will have a lot of money available and Premier league history shows us what that can do for clubs. against Liverpool and City, then the Premier League will come alive as that top four gets seriously ruffled up and United fans start to see their team finally come together. On the other hand, if United really struggle during this period, including losing to their two great rivals in front of their home fans, then things could spiral badly for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his team. the result at Leicester (below) doesn’t bode well and if this continues then the pressure will be enormous on the manager as they move towards Christmas. However, we must remember that Solskjaer and United have had a habit of pulling off a big result when they most need it. they will be praying for something similar against City or Liverpool at Old trafford. So, it will be all eyes on Manchester United in the weeks ahead. the United manager, players and fans will all know that this is a vital period of time for them. they couldn’t have got off to a worse start at Leicester and Solskjaer will be desperately hoping that a decent result mid-week in the Champions League can pull them back on track. they will rightly be focused on themselves but United’s performances during this time could also seriously impact the shape of the Premier League table.

Leicester have won three consecutive meetings with Manchester United in all competitions for the first time since November 1901. this was manchester united’s first away league defeat in 30 games, since a 2-0 loss at liverpool in January 2020. this was the first time the red devils have conceded four goals in an away league game since april 2019 (0-4 vs everton). Leicester have conceded in seven consecutive Premier League games for the first time exclusively under Brendan Rodgers’ management, with the Foxes last having as long a run between January and March 2019 (10 games under Puel, Stowell and Rodgers). there was just 54 seconds between marcus rashford equalising for manchester united, and Jamie Vardy putting leicester 3-2 ahead.

Liverpool’s goal hungry boss will no doubt smell blood as he prepares to take his rampant side to Manchester United’s Theatre of Screams on Sunday. A real-life horror story is unfolding right in front of United boss Ole Gunnar STARS & GRIPES Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Bruno Fernandes & Scott McTominay after Vardy had netted Solskjaer’s eyes and right now it is hard to see how he can survive much longer. After surrendering their English league record of 29 away games unbeaten, they prepare to face their biggest rivals at Old Trafford of all places. It is that serious their crucial Champions League clash with Atalanta on Wednesday has become almost a side issue. It is the visit of Klopp (above) and his ruthless red machine that should strike fear into the heart of every United fan. An image of the bearded one snarling ‘Here’s Johnny!’ through United’s splintered dressing room door springs to mind. Liverpool’s 5-0 demoli- tion of Watford makes them the first team in top-flight history to score three goals or more in seven con- secutive away matches. Scary stuff indeed with Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea to follow before the end of November. Impressive Leicester could easily have had six or seven with one save from star man

Daka said: “It was amazing. It was like a dream come true for me. 83 mins: Vardy 3-2 90+1 mins: daka 4-2 aged to inflict their pressing game on Cristiano Ronaldo (right) and Co. Harry Maguire had a nightmare return to the King Power – his only consolation being he probably should not have played at all after missing two games with a calf injury. He must have wished he hadn’t. His old pals made his life an absolute misery and he played an unwilling part in three of the goals. The irony of United castoff Jonny Evans holding Leicester’s defence together fear of ‘round two’ in protest From back page some described as “Round Two” of a protest that left English football stunned. United chiefs are consulting with local authorities, including Greater Manchester Police, in a bid to make sure necessary security is in place to guarantee the game goes ahead without significant disruption. Tensions are running high among fans again in the wake of United’s poor start. They slumped to a 4-2 David De Gea, when he denied Youri Tielemans, helping to keep the tally down. Could Solskjaer survive a real mauling in front of their fed-up home fans? Surely not. The feedback from within is he is going nowhere. Trouble is, that is exactly the same direction as his hapless side. Solskjaer felt compelled to give a name check to keeper De Gea afterwards in spite of letting just the four go past him. It is worrying stuff and the Foxes could not quite believe how easily they manwill not have been lost on Solskjaer. Mason Greenwood, one player to emerge with some credit had set United on their way with a blistering strike after 19 minutes. But Maguire had his pocket picked by Kelechi Iheancho allowing Tielemans to score with a dinked chip over De Gea. Maguire’s replacement at the Foxes, Caglar Soyuncu, rubbed it in when he poked Leicester in front but sub Marcus Rashford gave United hope with an 83rdminute equaliser. They were only on level terms for 54 seconds, Jamie Vardy blasting home to restore the lead before Patson Daka gave Maguire the slip to clinch victory right on 90 minutes. Credit Paul Pogba for one thing – he had the courage to front up to the cameras afterwards but United need a lot more than bravery behind a microphone. Pogba appeared to crank up the heat on Solskjaer, saying: “We’ve been having these kind of games for a long time and haven’t solved the problem We’re conceding easy, stupid goals.” defeat at Leicester and the pressure is mounting on boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. A growing number of supporters want him sacked, while the controversial ownership of American billionaires, the Glazers, continues to cast a dark cloud over Old Trafford. United are aware there is increased potential for serious trouble, but remain determined to do whatever it takes to stop the same thing happening again. premier table p W D L F ap ts chelsea .............. 8 6 1 1 16 3 19 Liverpool ........... 8 5 3 0 22 6 18 Man city............. 8 5 2 1 16 3 17 Brighton ............. 8 4 3 1 8 5 15 tottenham......... 8 5 0 3 9 12 15 Man Utd ............. 8 4 2 2 16 10 14 West Ham .......... 8 4 2 2 15 10 14 everton .............. 8 4 2 2 13 9 14 Brentford ........... 8 3 3 2 10 7 12 Wolves ................ 8 4 0 4 8 8 12 Leicester ........... 8 3 2 3 13 14 11 Aston Villa ......... 8 3 1 4 12 12 10 Arsenal................7 3 1 3 5 10 10 crystal Palace ...7 1 4 2 8 11 7 southampton .... 8 1 4 3 6 10 7 Watford .............. 8 2 1 5 7 15 7 Leeds .................. 8 1 3 4 7 15 6 Burnley .............. 8 0 3 5 5 13 3 Newcastle .......... 8 0 3 5 10 19 3 Norwich .............. 8 0 2 6 2 16 2 I’ve been looking forward to this moment. the patience and the belief and the hard work has paid off today. “I’m always so positive regardless of how many minutes I get. the boss just told me to do what I do best, just to enjoy myself, and to try to help the team. “the support has been amazing.

After coming on as an 90th-minute substitute in the 2-0 win over Burnley (above), Palmer, 19, dashed from the Etihad to the adjacent Academy Stadium to turn out for City’s Under-23s. He was the star in the 5-0 win against Leicester, just hours after making his second Premier League appearance in front of 52,711 fans. The England Under-21 striker said: “Playing with the first team at 3pm and scoring a hat-trick and getting three points – yeah a good day. “Everyone wants to play, so when I saw the opportunity, I thought I might as well come and play. I’m doing what I love. It’s hard to keep focused all day but, apart from that, I really enjoyed it.” reality cheque 1-0 Party Tyne lasted just 22 minutes then Harry made it 2-1 and the full scale of the task ahead kicked in kEEpER’S A TEAm-HATE gOALkEEPER Aaron McCarey was sent off for lashing out at glentoran team-mate Bobby Burns. McCarey lost his head after Cathair Friel’s late equaliser for Coleraine in a 2-2 draw with their Northern Ireland Premiership rivals. He raced out to confront Burns, who lost possession in the build-up to the goal, knocked the left-back to the floor and grabbed him by the shirt (above). glentoran skipper Patrick McClean threw the ball at McCarey before stepping in with Rhys Marshall to separate the two. The keeper was then shown a red card. glentoran boss Mick McDermott said: “Aaron has come into the dressing room and said he shouldn’t have done it. If it’s proven it’s violent conduct we’ll have to consider the consequences.” 1-1 1-2 2-3 By siMon birD @SimonBird_ FIRST the celebrations, then the reality check. After 11 days playing fantasy football, speculating on which superstars could arrive and director Amanda Staveley insisting the Saudi-Geordies are targeting the title in five to 10 years, the scale of the job was shown to the world. Newcastle United, now supposedly the richest club in the world, remain without a win and second bottom of the Premier League. Relegation, not the Champions League, is a possibility. Spurs, inspired by resurgent Harry Kane who ended his six-game league goal drought and made one for Heung- Min Son, made this an embarrassment for the new regime. “You’ll always be s**t,” sang the Spurs fans. If the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman was tuned in, on his newly legal beIN Sports subscription, he would have switched off early. It took just 108 seconds for Callum Wilson to get the new owners off to a flier. St James’ Park was alive with anticipation and hope. The party was over after just 22 minutes and it will probably be 1,000 games and out for Steve Bruce. Newcastle’s £305million Saudifunded takeover has stirred awkward, head-spinning moral questions leaving some supporters feeling a bit uneasy. This result added to the queasiness. It was heaving outside the Gallowgate End two hours before kick-off. The statue of Jackie Milburn was brought alive with Mike Ashley’s head on the ball. The noise was initially loud inside, as much for Ashley’s departure and the years of mediocrity plus lack of ambition, as for what might come. Wilson nodded home from close range, after Javier Manquillo overlapped and whipped in a cross. Up in the directors box new chairman and Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan leaped off his seat to roar his approval holding up a scarf. Soon he will be writing the transfer cheques. TV stars Ant and Dec (below) were also there for the new Tyneside era. There are things that the club – or 10 per cent stakeholders Amanda Staveley and Jamie Reuben – have got right off the pitch. Like the fan who left his tickets at home, went to the box office expecting to be charged £2.50 per duplicate, but was told it was now free and “we don’t do that sort of thing here any more”. Or like Reuben announcing he would match every pound collected at the NUFC bank until the end of the season. Food- The Wor Flags fan group were allowed into the ground during the week – after their self-imposed boycott when Rafa Benitez left – and put on quite a display. It all added up to a dreamy first, er, 17 minutes, until Tanguy Ndombele curled home and reminded Newcastle why they remain 19th in the table. Five minutes later it was Kane on the money to break his second-longest Premier League goal drought. A burst into space, a pass from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to the unmarked England man and a neat lob, which ended the Geordie party. The game was delayed after a Toon fan sitting near the pitch needed emergency medical treatment. When it resumed, Lucas Moura sliced open the Toon defence, sending Kane clear. He crossed, and Son had a simple finish. It could have been more, Lucas Moura hit the bar and Spurs, up to fifth with back-to-back wins, were dominant. “No noise, from the Saudi boys…” echoed from the away end. Sub Jonjo Shelvey saw red, booked twice in his 22 minutes on the pitch, before Eric Dier’s 89th-minute own goal made the scoreline more respectable. “We want Brucey out…” echoed around St James’ as thousands walked out early.

DMEEIR MONDAY 18.10.2021 IRISH DAILY MIRROR 47 premier league ST JAMES’ PARK 1-3 Spurs ace Son is all smiles after slotting home from close range to give the visitors a two-goal advantage before the interval Fans want Bruce out oF toon From bAck PAge turned sour when Tanguy Ndombele levelled 15 minutes later and Harry Kane netted his first league goal in seven games. Then the match had to be suspended when a fan needed urgent medical attention – with Spurs players Sergio Reguilon and Eric Dier spotting someone performing CPR in the crowd and quickly alerting officials. When the match resumed, Heung-Min Son added a third for Tottenham. Newcastle sub Jonjo Shelvey was sent off in the second half, before a Dier own goal saw the match end 3-2 to Spurs. The Magpies are second bottom and winless this season. And, asked if the Toon were in a relegation fight despite the change in ownership, boss Bruce (below, with coach Graeme Jones) said: “We have been in it five of the last six years. I would think so. We have been against it. “I picked up the reins and finished 12th and 13th. I find that respectable. I am convinced we’ll win a relegation battle again. “If you are in the bottom half you are in a relegation battle.” Bruce could face the sack this week if the new regime finds a replacement, and he added: “I will wait until they see fit and see what they are going to say.” Spurs striker Kane said: “The game itself didn’t start great, we knew they were going to come out fast and they got their early goal. “After that, we composed ourselves really well, created some good chances. “The only disappointment is that we should have seen the game out, got the fourth, the fifth. We made it a bit more difficult at the end.” On the incident with the fan, Reguilon said: “I saw one guy lying down and one man like this [making CPR gestures]. I was nervous, I went to the referee and said we cannot play, stop the match. Now I think it’s OK. That’s more important than anything else.” heLp! Dier points to where the emergency is Battered and Bruced after game 1,000 By ANdY duNN Chief Sports Writer @andydunnmirror IF perspective was needed, it arrived late in the first half when Eric Dier and Sergio Reguilon led the urgent requests to get emergency medical help to a stricken spectator. The actions of those players and everyone else involved in providing assistance were the most significant of the day. Let’s get that straight. But football does not do perspective for long and there was plenty here to go overboard about. Such as the gargantuan size of the challenge facing Newcastle United’s new owners, the impending end of Steve Bruce’s tenure and the startling ineptitude of a handful of the home players. And that is not to mention the jarring sound of a raucous ovation for the main representative of the Saudi Arabian takeover. This was a party that fell spectacularly flat, spectacularly quickly. Not for some, though. Not for Nuno Espirito Santo, whose team, albeit against extremely limited opposition, produced one of their better performances of his short time as manager, even if they did somehow find a way to make the closing stages a little nervy. And not for Harry Kane, whose contribution suggested that if he was ever in a sulk, he is now out of it. It might have only been in snatches but there was some prime Kane to be admired. The lobbed finish to put Spurs ahead after Tanguy Ndombele cancelled out Callum Wilson’s header was a thing of casual beauty, even though he did not appear at all convinced that a VAR check would overturn the initial offside decision. But equally impressive was Kane’s awareness and execution when coming up with another assist for Heung-min Son. Kane and Son have now combined for 35 Premier League goals, while the England captain has scored a remarkable 88 in 128 Premier League away games. The connection between Son, Kane and Lucas Moura caused problems every time they went forward. And as Spurs took more and more control and Jonjo Shelvey got himself sent off barely 20 minutes after coming on, the crowd predictably turned on Bruce. What a way to have your 1,000th game as a manager celebrated. The comedy own goal from Dier distracted the natives for a moment but, advisedly, Bruce was one of the first down the tunnel at the final whistle. Kane was one of the last, having lingered long to applaud the visiting fans. Newcastle have got their new owners, Spurs have got their Harry back.

BRENTFORD 0 CHELSEA 1 chilwell 45 By Matthew Dunn thoMas tUChel is not about to make any apologies for Chelsea’s skin-of-the-teeth escape from the Brentford Community stadium. “We are what we are,” he said, after the European Champions held on against their newly-promoted neighbours despite Brentford throwing everything but the kitchen sink at them in a frantic final 20 minutes. It was easy to leap immediately on the seven shots on target Frank’s side managed as Chelsea clung on. But in the cold light of morning, an even more impressive statistic emerges. Eight games into the season, the Blues have still only conceded one goal from open play. Throw in two penalties and even it out over a season and Tuchel’s side are on track to concede about 14 goals in their entire league campaign While Liverpool and Manchester City have been rattling in goals in fives and sixes, that defending is the stuff of champions. “We are what we are,” reiterated Tuchel (below, on the bench). “We try our best to create chances and it is not so easy to score or keep clean sheets. “In general, Liverpool and Manchester City have proved throughout the last years they are the benchmark in terms of quality and consistency. They have shown us over the last years what it takes to be able to become champions. “We have to improve in every aspect of the game and we will not stop trying to create more for our strikers. “But that includes improving in defence as well as offence – because the game is a complex one. Against Brentford, we lacked a bit of position. Otherwise we had some half chances. “It is maybe the same song we have been singing for many, many weeks. But we put a lot of effort into every part of the game.” Mainly on Saturday evening, though, that effort went into backs-to-the-wall defending. The woodwork, Edouard Mendy, the woodwork and Mendy combined… all went in to keeping Brentford at bay. When even that did not work, Trevoh Chalobah was there to clear off the line. With Malang Sarr also making his Premier League debut, it was a very patchedup looking Chelsea defence – although it held firm for Ben Chilwell’s piledriver (below) on the stroke of half-time to prove the winner. Yet it was mainly about Mendy, whose series of brave and athletic saves showed the value he has brought for a relative snip of £22million. His giant presence in the flurry of bodies bouncing around the six-yard box is reminiscent of the club legend T u c h e l has to t h a n k f o r M e n d y b e i n g there. “Credit to the club and to Petr Cech, Cech who saw the potential in this guy,” said Tuchel (left). “When we arrived, I found Kepa, Edou and Willy Caballero and even Petr was training with them for the first half a year. “It was a fantastic, competitive group of keepers and coaches and Petr Cech helping them in every session.” A few more displays like this and Cech might be persuaded it is safe for him to hang up his head guard for good. FRANKLY, WE ARE IN A STATE OF FRENZY By Matthew Dunn SAMAN GHODDOS revealed the frenzy-like state Thomas Frank whips his players into ahead of their incredible performances against the country’s biggest clubs. Brentford were unlucky to lose to Chelsea but have drawn with Liverpool and beaten Arsenal already this season. And Ghoddos, 28, attributes their form to the “crazed” place Frank (left) gets his players into before kick-off, making them believe they are the equal to anything in front of them. “It is crazy to hear the coach really motivate us and make us believe it,” said the Swedish-born Iran winger. “We want to be right at the top fighting with the best teams. That gives us energy to really win every game, no matter who we are playing against. “The crazy thing is whoever we play we go out to win – we don’t go out hoping for a draw because it is a hard game to play. I am so proud of the team. We performed well in the second half when we pushed Chelsea and did not let them out of their box. “It shows we have a great spirit that we are so disappointed after a game like this against, in my opinion, the best team in the world right now.”

But perhaps of equal significance – but far less heralded – was City keeping hold of a player who has arguably been their best performer this season. It is no secret Bernardo Silva wanted out in the summer, disillusioned at not being a regular starter and tempted by the prospect of a fresh challenge in Spain. Silva, 27, never got the move but rather than sulk or publicly bemoan his plight, he has simply got on with proving his worth to City. While Raheem Sterling (right) complained at a lack of game time and suggested the solution could be to move, Silva has shown the correct way to respond. The Portuguese star was City’s man of the match in the epic 2-2 draw at Liverpool and was their best player again here, scoring the opener (left) and running the game. Pep Guardiola may insist he cannot guarantee his players minutes but, at the moment, Silva has become his go-to man and is undroppable. It is a measure of the competition for places at City record buy Grealish remained on the bench, with Silva underlining the challenge of impressing Guardiola enough to warrant a start. “The amount of good

The duo (above) missed Saturday’s 2-0 win over Burnley after playing in Brazil’s 4-1 World Cup qualifier win over Uruguay in Manaus in the early hours of Friday. Had they flown straight back to the UK, they would have been forced to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days under Government coronavirus regulations. But by heading straight for Belgium, they can circumvent that rule, meaning they can play against Club Bruges in City’s Group A clash. “Yeah, they are in Belgium,” said City manager Pep Guardiola. “I think they told me that they can play, but we will see in what condition they are. “We have time to prepare for the training session, because we have to train here. They will not be here, so I have to think about it. “But we sent them there because, the day after the game in Bruges, they can come back and make a normal life.” 5 sTATs yOuR lOT...

We’re fighting for four competitions,we want to win them all and we know how tough it is. It’s only possible if everyone is fit and prepared and does well when asked. “It’s tough when you’re not playing the minutes you want. It’s happened with me and most of the players here – you have to fight for your place. “The amount of good players we have in this squad, I imagine it’s not easy for the manager to choose the team.” Silva’s relentless industry and zeal make him very much a Guardiola-type player, as do his quick feet, eye for a pass and goal threat. “We know how we want him, how we love him, but at the same time, it’s not just Bernardo,” said Guardiola (right). “I said many times that I want the best for all of them. They have to be happy to be here to perform well and he had that feeling to leave but it could not be possible. We are fortunate for that, because he is such an important player for us. “He can play in four or five different positions and is so intelligent, and intelligent players can play everywhere. There are players who can just play in this position – ‘I am a winger, or a striker, or a holding midfielder or a central defender’. “Bernardo is a football player and the football players can play anywhere. “I know there will be lows in this season, because it’s impossible to maintain this level throughout. “But I encourage him to be like this, because I’m pretty sure that, playing at this level, he’ll be happier and enjoy being here with us.” After publicly bemoaning his lack of game time, Sterling was handed a start, but did little to endorse his claim he should be playing more regularly. Silva set City on their way to victory, then Kevin De Bruyne’s second-half strike (left) sealed victory over Sean Dyche’s stubborn Clarets. dyche hails new kid nat BURNLEY manager Sean Dyche hailed the performance of defender Nathan Collins after only his second Premier League appearance. Collins (above), 20, a £12million summer signing from Stoke, looked assured alongside skipper James Tarkowski, the pair combining to deny City their usual goal-glut against the Clarets. “The centre-halves were outstanding,” said Dyche. “It’s a learning curve for Nathan. “He has a really good attitude and is learning and adapting to the group. He just got on with it, nice and calm. I’m really impressed.” Burnley had lost 5-0 on their last four visits to the Etihad Stadium but Dyche said: “It was a better performance here. “It’s been tough in recent times coming here but we did okay.” FACT ROOM...

6 irish DAiLY Mirror 18.10.2021 irishmirror.ie/sport/football GLORY DAYS Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira with Arsenal in 2003 ART To being A legend BY TONY BANKS MIKEL ARTETA warned Arsenal’s young stars they have to take on the challenge of being compared to club heroes like Patrick Vieira. The former Gunners captain takes his Crystal Palace side to the Emirates tonight as a manager for the first time. Vieira is back at the club where he won three titles and four FA Cups and was one of the most formidable midfield forces of his era. Arsenal have struggled to replace him since he left in 2005, with a host of players such as Abou Diaby, Alex Song and Denilson coming and going without ever really establishing themselves. Now players such as Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga face the daunting task. Arteta (above) was one of them as well but the Gunners boss, whose team will be looking to build on an unbeaten run of four league games, insists his players have to take the comparisons on the chin. He said: “You need to accept it straight away. If you don’t win three or four Premier League titles, you will always be worse because they have done it and you have just started. “You just have focus on what you are as a player, what you are asked to do by your manager, be yourself and don’t try to be anyone else.” But Arteta did admit Arsenal have had a major problem moving on from the Vieira era. He added: “Players become heroes when they are successful. “To do that obviously you don’t just need an individual – you need a squad. That has to be the aim. We’ve done it in the past and we are looking to do it again.” TEAMS ArsenAl: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Lokonga, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang CrystAl PAlACe: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Gallagher, Milivojevic, McArthur, Ayew, Edouard, Zaha referee: Mike Dean How could Arsenal find another midfield general like me?

Taking Wolves from the Championship into the top seven of the Premier League and Europe rightly made Nuno a Molineux legend despite last term’s 13th-placed finish.

It sparked questions over his tactics and more open, wolveS love the 80S and the 90S 2-1 80th minute attacking approach. But no one is complaining after Wolves’ thrilling late win at West Midlands rivals Aston Villa. Wolves looked out of it when second-half goals by Danny Ings and John McGinn put Villa 2-0 up. But an incredible finish saw them score in the 80th, 85th and 95th minutes to seal a remarkable victory to the delight of their stars and ecstatic away fans. Match-winner Ruben Neves said: “We didn’t have a great season last year, so we all wanted to bounce back again. “There’s been some changes – a new manager and a new way to play. “We are working really well and are trying to get as many points as we want. At the start of the season we had three The comeback is complete... Wolves star admits the team is clicking again under a new boss and a new style defeats in a row and we wanted to bounce back. “The season started really badly for us but the fans kept going and pushing us forward. “They help us and this win is for them. “We spoke before the game – it means a lot to them, a lot to us and a lot to Wolverhampton.” Wolves are only the third team in Premier League history to score three goals from the 80th minute onwards to overturn a 2-0 deficit and win 3-2 after Reading in 2013 and Wigan in 2010. All the goals came from setpieces as Romain Saiss started the comeback from close-range from sub Daniel Podence’s pass after a corner. Then skipper Conor Coady 2-2 85th minute 2-1 95th minute bundled in following good work by Adama Traore after Max Kilman had headed against the bar following another corner. Neves sparked an explosion of joy in the away end when his free-kick took a big deflection to wrong-foot Emiliano Martinez. It was a sweet moment for Neves after McGinn’s shot had earlier deflected off him. Neves said: “The boys that came on made a lot of difference as well, because they came as fresh legs to push the team forward. “It’s all about team spirit as well. After the first goal I really believed we could score again. “We did with five to go and then that goal went in. “It’s the best part of football when this happens, because we felt this game was so important for our fans.” we’re Gunner get over this DEAN SMITH has promised shell-shocked Aston Villa will be ready to bounce back at Arsenal on Friday. Villa blew a 2-0 lead with 10 minutes left to lose their West Midlands derby 3-2 at home, with Wolves’ goals coming from a free-kick and two corners. “We will put this result behind us,” said boss Smith. “We certainly won’t have any problem making sure we are ready for Arsenal. As disappointing and painful as it is now, there is nothing we can change. “For 80 minutes we were comfortable against a good team. I thought we would go on and win the game. “They didn’t do an awful lot to score their goals and that is the disappointment because we should have defended that better. “The set-pieces changed it.” WOlVEs Sa.................................................... 8 Kilman .............................................7 Coady Booked ................................7 Saiss ................................................7 Semedo ...........................................7 Neves Booked.................................7 Dendoncker Booked .......................7 Moutinho ........................................ 6 Marcal ............................................ 5 Traore ............................................. 8 Hee-Chan ....................................... 6 SUBS SFabio Silva (Moutinho 74) ............ 5 Podence (Marcal 74) ...................... 5 Jimenez (Hee-Chan 88) 48% possession 52% 5 shots on target 4 7 shots off target 3 381 totaL passes 404 80.6 passing sUCCess 80 6 Corners 7 1 offside 2 8 foULs 17 0 2 Cards 2 0 Ref: Michael oliver Att: 41,961 FACT ROOM...

Norwich’s last two Premier League games have ended goalless, with the Canaries registering back-to-back clean sheets in the competition for the first time since March 2016. brighton are unbeaten in their last four Premier League away games (w2 D2), after losing each of the three before that; it’s their longest unbeaten run on the road in the league since September 2020 (8 games). Norwich remain the only side yet to take the lead in a Premier League match this season. The Canaries haven’t led in any of their last 12 games in the competition, with only Manchester City ever having a longer such run (15 between April and October 1995).

It is just the stuff at the other end of the pitch they need to sort out now. A horrendous opengoal miss by Josh Sargent, another wasted opportunity by the USA striker, and several chances that Teemu Pukki (below, right) fluffed, left Daniel Farke’s Canaries wondering how the three points got away. So, small steps. Get one thing right at a time, and defensively Norwich have improved. But time is not on their side as they have not won a Premier League match this season, and have just two points from eight games. Farke’s team face Chelsea next week but after that comes Leeds, Brentford, Southampton, Wolves groUnd zero Pukki fluffed his lines as Norwich missed big chance for a first win and Newcastle, games where points must be banked. By the end of that run we will know where the Canaries stand. Farke admitted: “Can we survive without a killer instinct? No. We need to win nine or 10 games to survive. “We need to find a cutting edge to give ourselves a chance. But if we deliver performances like this and create chances like this I’m confident we will score.” Sargent’s awful miss just before half-time, when Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez dashed out and completely missed the ball, leaving the £8million former Werder Bremen player with an open goal, was the big one. The 21-year-old, who has not scored in the league since his summer move, underhit his shot at the gaping goal and Shane Duffy dashed back to clear. It was a head-in- hands moment. Canaries defender Max Aarons said: “It was a gilt-edged chance but as a team-mate you have to give support. We knew there would be other chances – it wasn’t as if it was in the 91st minute. “It was frustrating but you have to let it go. If you dwell on it it can cause an issue. We just got on with it. We knew what Josh was giving us. I’m sure he will score goals.” Brighton secured a fourth clean sheet of the campaign Duffy, Lewis Dunk and Dan Burn providing a rock solid b a c k line – and also went away feeling they could have had the win. Adam Lallana was foiled by Tim Krul before Neal Maupay was brought down by the Canaries keeper and legitimate-looking claims for a penalty were waved away. Leandro Trossard’s effort was tipped onto the bar by Krul, but at the other end Norwich’s lack of confidence showed, Pukki twice wasting good positions. Then came Sargent’s horror moment and minutes later it got worse when he dallied and allowed Dunk to clear. Brighton were largely in control but chances kept coming for Norwich – Pukki poking wide, then racing clear only to be caught by a great tackle from Burn. Right at the death Albion should have won it, but Maupay flicked over from Solly March’s lovely cross. lamp is a real bright spot for potter BY tonY BanKs THE major bonus for Brighton on a frustrating afternoon was seeing Tariq Lamptey back in action after 10 months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. The lightning-quick wingback, who made such an impact last season after joining in a bargain £5million deal from Chelsea, returned for the first time in the Premier League since last December. Lamptey came on as a 58th minute substitute and showed flashes of the frightening speed and skill that made him such a threat last term and saw him linked with Arsenal and Spurs. The 21-year-old (right) said: “It was a special moment for me. I‘ve have worked really hard to get back here. “It was challenging mentally and physically. You work really hard every day. We have good physios and, the players, staff, everyone, have been amazing. They kept me positive. I was hungry to play. Once you are back in and get a taste for it, you just want to work as hard as possible, try and help the team as much as possible.” Boss Graham Potter said: “We have to get Tariq up to speed but we need to be careful.” Screaming for goalS Farke’s misfiring strikers are proving costly for Canaries

The on-loan Chelsea striker produced the kind of performance on his full league debut for Southampton that suggests there is so much more to come. The Slough-born Albanian international scored the winner, his 6ft 3in figure was a constant night- mare for Leeds as was his workrate which resulted in him being replaced towards the end with cramp. But after reflecting on his special day, he then set his sights higher. Broja, 20, who already has three goals for Albania and spent last season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, said: “This opportunity is amazing. I’ve been dreaming about it. “Everyone wants to be here in the Premier League, and to get my first start and goal is just a dream come true. “This is an amazing time for me but I just want to By ian Baker LIAM COOPER insists Leeds will be just fine – as they have the king of analysts in charge. The Whites have just one Premier League win all season. But boss Marcelo carry on, remain calm and keep my feet on the ground.” Eyebrows were certainly raised with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s starting XI. Adam Armstrong was dropped and on the bench along with Stuart Armstrong, Shane Long and Theo Walcott – this was very much a new Southampton. It was the partnership of Broja’s old-fashioned centreforward play and Nathan Redmond’s speed and guile that gave Saints their first League win of the season. They Bielsa (left) is known for his thorough approach to setbacks and skipper Cooper (right) reckons there will be a response against Wolves at Elland Road on Saturday.

10 FOUR THINGS WE LEARNED FROm... MatchdaY 8 GoaL-crazY redS Set new awaY record CLAUDIO RAnIERI does not need reminding Liverpool are in amazing away form after his Watford side were thrashed 5-0 at Vicarage Road. But he can draw comfort from the fact his side weren’t the first to be overwhelmed by the Reds (above). The win at Watford means that Liverpool are the first English top-flight side to score three or more goals in seven consecutive away games in all competitions. That run takes in their opening six games on the road of this campaign as well as the comfortable 3-0 win at Burnley at the end of last season. And the sequence could have extended to nine games if they had managed to score one more when they won 2-1 at West Brom, three days after beating Manchester United 4-2 at Old Trafford last May. BREnTFORD became the latest side to discover how hard it is to break Chelsea down. Thomas Tuchel’s side have conceded just three goals from their first eight Premier League games this season (five clean sheets), the fewest they have conceded at this stage of a season since 2010-11 when they had shipped just two goals. curSe oF phIL StILL hauntS bIeLSa’S SIde THE task confronting Marcelo Bielsa’s side at Southampton got a lot tougher when Kalvin Phillips was ruled out. The Leeds midfielder (above) was missing after failing to recover from the calf problem that forced him out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad in the international break. And that meant Leeds’ chances of following up their first league win of the season against Watford with another three points took a big hit. Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl will have been pleased to see Phillips’s name missing from the team sheet. Since the Yorkshire club returned to the top flight at the start of last season, Leeds have won just two of their 11 league games (18 percent) when the midfielder hasn’t featured. COnOR COADY’S scrambled effort in Wolves’ dramatic 3-2 win at Aston Villa isn’t going to win Goal of the Month – but it was certainly a landmark strike for the centreback. The goal was only the England defender’s second in 122 Premier League appearances, with his first coming against Manchester City in March. back back b WATFORD 0 irish DAiLY Mirror 18.10.2021 irishmirror.ie/sport/football Mane on Salah: You guys are surprised about his goals but to us this is normal Mane on Firmino: It’s so easy to play with him... his great runs make the difference Mane on Mane: Last season was hard for me and team... but that’s behind us now LIvERpOOL 5 Mane 8, Firmino 37, 52, 90+1, Salah 54 By John Cross THE result was a statement victory. Liverpool are showing they are title contenders, the momentum has returned and the Premier League’s mostfeared front three are back to their very best. Mo Salah’s wonder goal (right) should make everyone sit up and take notice. And on this form, it is hard to think of a player in world football who is in better form. Roberto Firmino (below) scored the easiest of hat-tricks with three tap-ins which underlined his brilliant movement, Liverpool’s slick passing and priceless ability to be in the right place. Sadio Mane was also on target and, while Watford were woeful, Liverpool will be a match for anyone when they play like this. They looked unstoppable. Salah’s goal against Manchester City two weeks ago was magnificent but his effort at Vicarage Road was even better, going past three defenders, putting Watford defender Craig Cathcart on his backside and then finding the far corner with precision and composure. It will surely be Goal of the Season because it deserves to be talked about for years to come. But, incredibly, Mane says Salah’s brilliant goal was no surprise to him. Mane said: “I think you guys are surprised but not me because we know his quality. It was a very wonderful goal and I am very happy for him. “ W e k n o w how he can move the ball, he showed it against City, another great goal, for him to score goals like this is normal.” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insisted SLOppy HORNETS mADE A mEAL OF IT By John Cross said: “We gave Liverpool very nice them, ‘Look, what happened.

The Firmino hat-trick was also quite something because two were tap-ins from low crosses and the other on a plate from a rebound from Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster’s save. But the movement, the incisive and slick passing made it happen and look easy. Mane is confident the problems of last season – form, injuries throughout the squad and inconsistency – are behind Liverpool and they will be back to challenge for the title they won in such style in the 2019-20 season. Mane said: “It was hard for myself and the team and sometimes that’s normal but that’s behind us now. I said from the beginning, now that it can be a different season for all of us and you can see it so hopefully we are going to go for the titles which is our dream – that’s what we are we are working for.” Watford were a mess, they did not look as if they knew what they were supposed to be doing.

He can do anything. Go inside, outside, drop a shoulder. His movement and work-rate are incredible. “But they all frighten you. Any of the good ones. There are so many where as a keeper you think, ‘Oh my God, don’t let him shoot’.” Foster also paid tribute to Salah’s wonder goal as the Egyptian king beat three players, then put Watford defender Craig Cathcart on his back side before placing a precision shot into the far corner. Foster admitted he had no chance with the shot because he did not even see it. He said: “I just remember him having three or four players around him.

And Paterson – released by Bristol City in the summer – rubbed salt in Cardiff wounds by taunting the Bluebirds’ supporters after his 25-yard strike. He then set up goals for Joel Piroe and Jake Bidwell as Russell Martin’s Swansea revolution finally got lift-off. It was a different story for Cardiff and Mick McCarthy. The veteran former Ireland boss is now clinging to his job with the Bluebirds. This was a sixth successive league defeat – their worst run since November 1985. Paterson heaped more misery on Cardiff ’s fans with Swansea’s infamous ‘swim away’ celebration which dates back to 1988. That year Cardiff fans were reportedly chased by Swansea rivals after the two sides met and the only escape from the violence was for them to dive into the sea. “Last summer was the worst time in my career to date by a country mile,” said Paterson, 29 (right). “I was down in the dumps to be honest with you. I went on trial to Middlesbrough and then got injured on the first day. I didn’t know where I was going to end up. “I got thrown a lifeline at Swansea and I said to myself I was going to shoot when I could. I didn’t know what to expect, but we put our chances away – it was a dominant display.” When Jonjo Shelvey did the same celebration in 2013, he was reprimanded by the FA.

18.10.2021 irish DAiLY Mirror irishmirror.ie/sport/football makes waves 13 C a r d i f f h a d t h e game’s first chance and Ryan Giles should have opened the scoring after being played in by Kieffer Moore. But he could not beat Ben Hamer and the miss proved crucial. Paterson’s goal was worthy of winning any game as his effort went in off both posts after Cardiff ’s five-man defence gave him too much space. Swansea’s Ethan Laird had also appealed for a first-half penalty, but it mattered little as Martin’s side took total control after the break. Piroe made the game safe with his seventh goal of the season, and Paterson was the creator with an outrageous chip. Then he repeated the trick for Bidwell’s third after fine approach work from Laird. The Swansea wing-back could not miss with a simple header at the back post. Cardiff were shocking and it will be no surprise if McCarthy is sacked after this display. The Bluebirds offered nothing in attack with Wales striker Moore isolated. Paterson refused to comment on his ‘swim away’ celebration, but his team-mates and Martin all did likewise at the final whistle. “It was brilliant – I got carried away,” admitted Swans chief Martin. “You’ve got to enjoy it and I got told to do it. I enjoyed it and the fans did, too. The atmosphere was just incredible. “It was an incredible performance. I’m really proud of the players and the courage they showed on an occasion like this. I felt like a performance like that had been coming. “After the first 15 minutes I thought we controlled the match. The connection is building all the time and the way we hurt Cardiff in the second half was excellent.” RUSS ROARS Martin salutes the goals by Piroe (far left) and Bidwell (left) Mick left to choo over his future FROM FRONT PAGE SWAN SONG Swansea stars are serenaded (above), while Paterson hit a stunning opener Bidwell got on the scoresheet for Swansea. On a coach before the game, thanking fans for their backing through the pandemic, Choo was alleged on social media to have told Cardiff supporters, ‘I wish we had a new manager’. When asked to provide context to his comment by BBC Radio, Choo (above) laughed off the matter and refused to deny making it. Asked for his response after the thrashing in Swansea, McCarthy’s emotion was clear. “I can’t imagine Ken would actually say that and if he did, I think it would be said to me and nobody else,” he said. “Until Ken tells me he said it, it doesn’t make a difference to me. The only thing that’s making any difference to me is this game – that is what is concerning me. “I can’t try harder than what I’m doing and I’ll keep doing it until someone tells me otherwise.” Paterson could end up in hot water after celebrating his goal with a ’swim away’ gesture, which harks back to the 80s when Cardiff fans were reportedly chased into the sea to avoid their Swansea rivals. NOTT’M FOREST 2 Scorer 00 BLACKPOOL 1 Scorer 00 Johnson’s spark gives forest fire By John Wragg NOTTINGHAM FOREST hope to keep star performer Brennan Johnson but want £15million if forced to sell. Brentford failed with three bids for the 20-year-old, who opened the scoring against Blackpool and was at the centre of another good Forest display, with Leicester and Leeds also keeping tabs. His deal is up next summer and no agreement has been reached for a youngster who has been at the club since he was eight. Forest look to sell one player a season to stay within financial fair play rules and it is believed they want a £15m release clause in any new contract. Cost cutting has already seen club legend Frank Clark axed as ambassador. Johnson (above), the son of former Forest and Ipswich striker David, scored the first after a terrific move, and manager Steve Cooper is impressed by a player who went on loan to Lincoln last season. Cooper, who is unbeaten in his first four games in charge of Forest, said: “Johnson is exciting isn’t he? “He got in twice early in the second half, maybe could have done better, but that’s me pushing and challenging him because he knows what I think of him. “Johnson is an important player. We need to look after him, support him, and keep his development going.” Blackpool equalised through Jerry yates but Lewis Grabban, with his fifth goal in seven outings, scored the winner. Cooper has quickly turned Forest into an effective counterattacking team good to watch. Midfielder Jack Colback said: “Chris Hughton achieved a lot in the game and you don’t do that from being a bad manager, but the new gaffer has a different way of playing more suited to us. “Brennan Johnson has been top drawer. I saw a few glimpses of him the season before, but he has gone out on loan and come back like a man.” X X

Cornick (above, right) scored both for Luton, the second time in three games he has struck twice. The pick was his 11th-minute opener, a brilliant top-corner finish. He added a second early in the second half, running onto Jordan Clark’s pass to slot past Bartosz Bialkowski. “They’re the ones i usually struggle with, going through one on one,” said Cornick. “you have to go back to basics and do what you feel natural with. “The fans help massively as well. When it was a quiet stadium, i’d just hear the gaffer screaming at me or people shouting, ‘Go near post’ or, ‘Go across goal’ or, ‘Take it around him’. “now the fans are here i can just focus on what i need to do. i used to think i was a good finisher, but you miss a few chances and then you think about it too much. “i’ve been working with a sports scientist, who says new year, new me, so far it’s working and i get to my target of goals, which would be nice. “i’ll keep my target to myself, because i know i’ll put too much pressure on myself. My target last year was 10 and i got one, so i didn’t really do too well. “This year has been better but i have to keep the confidence up.” it was a miserable afternoon for Millwall, whose hopes of getting back in the match were dealt a fatal blow when Jed Wallace’s penalty – given after a kal naismith handball – was brilliantly saved by Simon Sluga. “it was one of the poorest home performances we’ve had,” said Lions boss Gary rowett. “We didn’t look like we had that extra bit of drive. Luton did all the right things, they fought for every ball. They deserved to win. “i could see our fans leaving and i don’t blame them. That was not the performance we needed.” josh what boro need Teenage strike star Coburn has got the Riverside faithful and Warnock buzzing Middlesbrough 2 Mcnair 85 pen, Coburn 90+4 peterborough 0 By ian MuRtagh Middlesbrough have a proud reputation for nurturing local talent from gary Pallister to stewart downing and beyond. But for all gems they have unearthed, a top-class striker has never come off Boro’s prolific conveyor belt. Until possibly now! Teenager Josh Coburn has only made a handful of appearances since turning pro in the new year but boss Neil Warnock has already seen enough to be convinced he will make a living in the game. Whether he goes on to have a career like Pallister or Downing is another matter. But the 18-year-old’s physique is impressive and the way he took his goal deep into injury-time, after Paddy McNair (celebrating, right) had broken Posh’s resistance five minutes earlier from the penalty spot (above) , suggests he is a natural finisher. Coburn took a return pass from Martin Payero before guiding a right-foot shot into the bottom corner. “Josh has come back a lot stronger than last year,” said Warnock. “He got Covid a few weeks ago and that knocked him back. But in training, he’s been on fire. “In practice games, some of the lads try to rough him up but it doesn’t bother him one bit – he’ll take it and give a bit back. “And he’s the best runner for crosses at the club in terms of getting on the end o f them. He checks and goes and is always on the move in the box. “When you look at the top players, they always know where to go to get round the back or in at the near post and Josh has that. “Whenever he’s on the pitch, he contributes something.” Coburn’s late goal gave the scoreline a flattering look for Boro, who like the visitors, huffed and puffed. Posh have now lost all six away games but it could have been different had they been awarded a penalty for Boro keeper Joe Lumley’s challenge on Siriki Dembele. Boss Darren Ferguson was more concerned with his own side’s deficien- cies than the ref ’s blunder. He said: “Until the final third we were good. The game was there for the taking but we didn’t have the quality with that final pass. It just wasn’t g o o d enough.” teen star Josh Coburn, 18, celebrates his late clinching goal MATCH sTATs 40.5% possession 59.5% 5 shots on taRget 3 9 shots off taRget 4 4 coRneRs 3 1 offside 1 8 fouLs 11 0 2 caRds 4 0 Ref: John Busby ATT: 19,556

Surrounded by his Bournemouth team-mates, Lowe held up the No.7 shirt of the absent Brooks after giving the visitors the lead with a well-struck volley . Brooks, 24, has revealed he is starting treatment for cancer and the reaction of the home fans was as dignified as their applause in the seventh minute, moments earlier. “To be fair, the home fans had really responded in the seventh minute with the applause for Brooksy,” said Lowe. “He deserved that and Bristol City’s fans did it really well. Ordinarily, I think they might have booed me for celebrating their support to Brooks, their Welsh international teammate who was diagnosed last week with Stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma. Lowe admitted he struggled initially to locate the shirt placed behind the goal – about the only difficulty the Championship leaders had all day as they moved back to the top and remained unbeaten. He said: “We said we MATCH sTATs 26.7% possession 73.3% 2 shoTs on TarGeT 5 3 shoTs off TarGeT 10 5 corners 11 5 offside 1 4 fouls 7 0 0 cards 2 0 Ref: Gavin Ward ATT: 20,828 through a really tough time but he knows that he has people around him who care about him and wish him well.” For a contest between the clubs laying second and 10th in the table, this was ridiculously one-sided. The Cherries went 2-0 up before the break with a belter from Jordan Zemura (left) but should have scored at least four more. It means Bournemouth and Liverpool remain the only two clubs in the four divisions yet to have tasted defeat this season. The Robins have now gone 16 matches with- out a home win – a club record – and skipper Dan Bentley said: “We gave them a little bit too much respect. They’re top of the league for a reason, but we could have taken the game to them a little bit.” CHELTENHAM boss Michael Duff backed Dan Crowley to become a fans’ favourite – even though he drives his manager mad. Crowley made his league debut as kyle Vassell’s first league goal for the club won it. Duff said: “He’s a good player who will get people off their seats. He drives me mad with some things he doesn’t do, but the supporters will love him.” fLEEtWOOd 3 Johnson 60, Andrew 72, Garner 90+6 crEWE 0 FLEETWOOD defender Callum Johnson insists a clean sheet was more important than his first goal for the club.

Dann, 34, made his first Royals start after joining before the transfer deadline. And he laid on the pass for the winning John Swift goal – and almost found the net himself. Dann (below) spent over seven years at Crystal Palace in the Premier League and Paunovic feels that he has already shown his class. He said: “His composure, experience, maturity, quality, intelligence, reading the game, it’s what we need in every situation. “Our football intelligence increased as a whole team with him being on the field. We just got better.” Reading are just outside the play-offs after their fifth win in six games. Yet, they were matched throughout by a Barnsley side who looked anything but strugglers.

And Dann nearly earned his first Royals goal from a header that needed Brad Collins to save. Callum Brittain hit a post for the Tykes just after the restart, while their keeper Collins palmed away a shot from Baba Rahman.

But at least that is one better than his illustrious dad who scored just once in more than 700 career games. England international Des made his mark with Nottingham Forest, Sampdoria and Sheffield Wednesday, and played 59 games for England as a classic hard-tackling stopper. But hours before his 25th birthday yesterday, Walker Junior swept home a superb set-up by Todd Kane to spark Coventry’s fightback from being two goals down. Blackburn’s Joe Rothwell had opened the scoring, then passed for Sam Gallagher to add a second. Pressure, and a bit of luck, brought the Sky Blues the leveller, as a Liam Kelly shot hit a post and then bounced off Rovers’ goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski for an own goal. It gave Mark Robins’ high-flying Coventry a deserved share of the spoils, and left Walker saying: “Certainly, my goal was like an early birthday present. “There’s massive competition here with four recognized strikers so you have to take your chances. “At the break, two goals behind, the boss told us to calm down. It was fantastic to be roared on by 4,000 fans. They made such a difference.” Chile striker Ben Brereton Diaz nearly scored a late winner for Rovers as he came on from his self-isolation on a separate subs bench, following from his 7,000-mile journey from Santiago via Madrid. Rovers’ boss Tony Mowbray said: “He played in Chile less than 36 hours ago, spent 12 hours in the air, then nearly scored the winner. He deserves all the praise he gets.”

Lees was part of the Sheffield Wednesday team that lost in the play-off final to Hull in 2016 before being beaten in the semifinals by the Terriers a year later. The defender scored the opening goal as Huddersfield moved into the top six with this victory. The Championship season is just 12 games old and the 30-year-old refuses to look too far ahead when it comes to achieving his ambition of appearing in the top flight. He said: “It’s something that, before I finish playing, I’d love to be able to say I’ve done something special like that, achieve something. “I’ve got a lot of appearances but something like that would be brilliant. One time in the Premier League, that’s the dream. “But I think that’s a way off yet and we’ll see. With 10 games to go if you are in and around there, then you have a chance.” Boss Carlos Corberan will prepare his Huddersfield team for another home game on Wednesday, against out-of-form Birmingham, seeking to continue a three-match unbeaten run which has garnered the Terriers seven points. But previous experience has shown him that now is not the time to start thinking beyond the next game. Corberan (right) said: “We know it’s early doors and when it comes to January time, there will be many teams in with a shout. “Wednesday is going to be another tough one and we just have to reset.” The Tigers remain 21st after the defeat which was sealed by a peach of a goal from Duane Holmes (below). Central- defender Jacob Greaves was one of the standout players and almost got on the scoresheet only for keeper Lee Nicholls to tip his goal- bound header over the bar. The 21-year-old’s father Mark also played for Hull, mak- ing more than 175 ap- pearances between 1996 and 2002 and Greaves is grateful to be able to call on his dad’s experience. He believes the Tigers are good enough to remain in the Championship starting this Wednesday against fellow strugglers Peterborough at the KCOM Stadium, saying: “I feel we do belong here but there’s definitely improvements that we can make.” He, too, has his sights on playing at the very top. He said: “I’ve really enjoyed the step up in the league and I love coming to the different stadiums and stuff – it’s miles better than playing League One – so if I can stay here and learn my trade then obviously the end goal is to try and play in the Premier League.”

20 FULHAM 4 Mitrovic 10, 67, decordova-Reid 71, Robinson 90+1 QPR 1 dykes 55 By STEVE JUDGE ALEKSANDAR MITROVIC is repaying Marco Silva’s trust by delivering his best start to a season. The Fulham striker made it 12 goals in as many games with a double to down their west London rivals. It tops his previous best run in 2019-20, when it took him 16 games to reach a deadly dozen. The Serbian ended that season the Championship’s joint-top scorer with Ollie Watkins on 26 goals as the Cottagers gained promotion via the play-offs. Scarily for his rivals, the 27-year-old claimed the arrival of manager Silva (below) in July has helped take his game to a new level. Mitrovic said: “I feel good on the pitch. For a striker, the most important thing is to have confidence and at the moment I have loads of confidence. “I have improved my game a lot under Marco. He made me realise that I can be used in different ways. “He wants to use me a lot on the ball as a platform for our attacks. “I have the freedom, if I am honest, to move where I want. He trusts me and I feel great in this team, the way we play and we have to continue like this in the next big game on Wednesday against Cardiff.” Mitrovic took just 10 minutes to show his strengths in the penalty box, taking down N e e s k e n s Kebano’s cross on his chest before swivelling to drill a low shot inside Seny Dieng’s near post. After Lyndon Dykes rounded Marek Rodak to level for the visitors on 55 minutes, Mitrovic rose to direct Kebano’s 67th-minute cross out of Dieng’s reach and in off irish DAiLY Mirror 18.10.2021 irishmirror.ie/sport/football dozen he look good Mitrovic feeling doubly thrilled as boss Marco helps him rack up his best start the post with a world-class header. That knocked the stuffing out of Rangers MAtCH stAts a n d s u b s Bobby Decordova-Reid and Antonee Robinson (right) finished them off. The arrival of Dykes as a half-time sub had threatened to reshape the game.

He said: “Lyndon had two 90-minute games for Scotland and travelled back from the Faroe Islands. “You have to look after these players. We have seven games in 21 days starting at Blackburn on Tuesday. “These are big demands on the players. It is easy in hindsight to say we should have started him and brought him off after an hour. “He came on and did the job to make it 1-1 and we were in a good position. We didn’t maximise that position.” SLick vic Fulham striker Mitrovic has hit a rich vein of scoring form SCoTlAnd GERS ‘BLEW IT’ LATE ON JOHN LuNdstram says 90th-minute header. the rangers blew a great stalemate meant Gers stay chance to extend their lead just a point clear of robbie at the top of the scottish Neilson’s side.
