Siva Anandaciva, chief analyst at the King’s Fund, said: “The pandemic has pushed waiting lists to record levels and laid bare the deep health inequalities in our country.” Sybil Williams, 86, from Minehead, Somerset, felt she “couldn’t go on any longer” while waiting 17 months for her hip replacement. The ex-nurse, who was referred to hospital in October 2019, said she was given no updates on when the op would be nor any support, despite being in constant pain. “I felt suicidal in December 2020,” she said. When Sybil did finally go under the knife the surgery went well. She added: “I have now regained my independence and joy of life.” Sir Robert Francis, chairman of Healthwatch England, said: “It is a reality that people will be waiting longer for treatment for a while. “However, NHS England must manage lists better by reducing risks and in- convenience to patients caused by delays.” An NHS spokeswoman said that the pandemic “inevitably had an impact on nonurgent care”.

The Bake Off star said: “I am putting weight on because the catering - it’s chicken, potatoes, a hunk of white bread with butter, a crouton salad and an upside down pineapple cake.” John was warned by Gemma Atkinson, who gained half a stone during the 2017 series. Before his routine, the 32-year-old joked: “My suit is going to be bursting at the seams.” It comes after actress Nina Wadia dropped “a couple” of dress sizes due to the “gruelling” training. John and partner Johannes Radebe received a standing ovation and a score of 30 after becoming the BBC1 show’s first same sex male coupling. Head judge Shirley Ballas, 61, said they were “absolutely exquisite”.

Road Haulage Association bosses wrote to Boris Johnson in June to say there was a “critical supply chains failing” but claimed he did nothing. And Grant Shapps was attacked over the ongoing fiasco at petrol pumps, as he tried to blame panic-buying drivers and industry executives. T h e Tr a n s p o r t Secretary sent out a desperate plea to one million retired HGV drivers to return to work to plug the 100,000 shortfall. He offered 12-week visas to 5,000 EU truckers, but some said they would not work in Britain on such short contracts. As pumps ran dry again yesterday, Petrol Retailers Association chairman Brian Madderson said of the chaos: “We think it’s going to go on for at least a further week, maybe 10 days. “The problem is there are a finite number of tankers that can carry fuel and a finite number of drivers. I can’t see a quick fix. It’s going to take a long while to get back to normal.” Mr Madderson said 50-90% of the UK’s 8,350 forecourts are currently dry and “those that aren’t are partly dry and running out soon”. He added: “It’s been horrendous, a complete omnishambles and I lay that directly at the door of Grant Shapps.” The RHA said it begged the PM to issue immediate temporary visas for foreign workers in June. Spokesman Paul Mummery added: “Three months ago we warned the PM of the consequences of this. “We needed help earlier and the Government delayed and delayed. They let us down.” And he warned the issuing of temporary visas is “too little, too late”.

Haulage companies say few have returned. The EU also has driver shortages meaning work can be found there. Foreign drivers face additional bureaucracy post-Brexit to work here, the decline of sterling against the euro means being paid in pounds is less attractive and tax changes make it more expensive to work here. The RHA claims 40,000 HGV tests were cancelled due to the pandemic in 2020. Lorry driver Imran Mustafa, 32, who lives in Barcelona, said: “French people, German people, Spanish people, they’re already earning a lot of money, so why would they move to the UK for three months only?” Mehmet Ozalp, 28, from Turkey, who lives in Germany, added: “I would only move for at least six months.” The fuel panic buying continued yesterday. Ambulance chiefs begged drivers to stop so paramedics can refuel both during and after their shifts. Two police cars were photographed jumping queues of traffic at a BP filling station in Hackney, East London. The fuel crisis began after comments from a BP exec at a Cabinet Office meeting were made public. Mr Shapps tried to shift the blame for the chaos by claiming the leak came from “one of the road haulage associations”. Ministers have suspended competition laws to enable fuel suppliers to talk to each other and target petrol stations that are running dry, it was reported yesterday. The lack of HGV drivers is causing as many as one in five supermarket deliveries to be late or cancelled. It has left many retailers fearing a shortage in the shops at Christmas. ■ Stanlow Oil Refinery, in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, has agreed to pay a £223million tax bill, allaying fears over its future. louie.smith@mirror.co.uk @smith_louie voiCe of the Mirror: PAGe 6

6 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 27.09.2021 Voice of the DM1ST ConferenCe: Mistakes fuel crisis UC cut to hit 21.4m TENS of millions will be unable to afford household basics when the Government robs the poorest of £20 a week, a study warns today. Just one in 10 backs cutting Universal Credit, says a poll for the New Economics Foundation. The uplift was brought in at the start of the pandemic and is due to end next week. The NEF said 21.4 million people will be hit by the cut. The think-tank added: “The UK is in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, due to sharpen significantly for those on the lowest incomes. “It makes a mockery of the Government’s intention to ‘level up’.” Cabinet Minister Grant Shapps yesterday told bbC1 the rise is “going to end” despite growing warnings of a crisis in living standards. PETROL shortages are a crisis made in Downing Street by a Government which failed to heed the warning alarms. Boris Johnson, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and the rest of the Tory blame-shifters dumping responsibility on others is typical of a party making mistake after mistake. They must accept that their chronic incompetence is inflicting immense inconvenience and damage on the nation. Had those in office listened to the fuel sector and hauliers months ago all petrol stations would be open. Instead the party responsible for a lethally flawed Brexit deal stuck its fingers in its ears and ignored a driver shortage. And pointing the finger at motorists filling up their cars does not work either when the official “don’t panic” appeal sparked just that. Instantly disbelieving a Government which is headed by a serial liar usually saves time. Restocking forecourts will end the queues and closures so there is a strong case for deploying Army drivers but it would be welcome if Tory Ministers, particularly the Prime Minister, faced up to their errors. fairer system GOOD ideas are the key to political success and Labour promising to replace business rates with a fairer system to revive high streets is a fine start. Improving people’s lives and demonstrating how life will be better is key if leader Keir Starmer’s to talk his way into Downing Street. Voters are crying out for a credible opposition to challenge and hopefully replace a Tory Party riddled with incompetence. British politics is volatile and anything’s possible, Keir must seize the moment in Brighton to genuinely build back better.

In an interview with the Mirror, she said: “It’s unfair competition and that’s why we want to reform that business rates system. It would be a levelling of the playing field.” The plan, welcomed by business groups, would be paid for by a one-off digital services tax of 12% for the first year, and a global minimum rate of corporation tax after that.

Andrew’s lawyers are said to have “taken the gloves off ” against Virginia Giuffre, who is suing him in New York. She claims she was forced to have sex with the Prince three times when she was 17 after being loaned out by the Duke’s pal, paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew and his team vehemently deny the allegations. Last week, the Prince finally conceded legal papers relating to legal battlePrince Andrew for sale Luxury chalet the claims had been served.

Often dates do not match or claims change. One instance is her claims of Andrew taking part in a ninegirl orgy on Epstein’s Caribbean island. “However, in the transcript of the book she entered into evidence she details the incident but bizarrely makes no mention of Andrew at all. She also claims in the transcript she was flown to meet the Prince alone at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch, but court circulars place the Prince elsewhere. It’s fair to say the gloves have been taken off.” Andrew’s team are also set to receive from Ms Giuffre’s team a copy of a “release” signed in 2009 – following her settlement with Epstein – to the Duke. They hope it will exempt him from any culpability, but her lawyers say it does not apply to him. It comes as Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferugson are reportedly close to selling their £17.6million Swiss ski chalet in a bid to pay off the former owner, who says they owe her £6.7m.

10 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 27.09.2021 by john hiscock He’s back as Bond, yet Daniel Craig happily admits he is glad No Time To Die will be his final outing as 007. “It’s time for someone else to have a go,” he says. “I’ve hurt myself on every single Bond movie.” Daniel’s catalogue of injuries across his five James Bond films is pretty catastrophic. In 2006 he lost two teeth filming a fight scene for Casino Royale. Two years later during Quantum of Solace, he sliced off his fingertip and dislocated his shoulder. And while filming Spectre in 2015 he injured his knee and had to undergo arthroscopic surgery. His gory list of wounds grew during No Time to Die. Shortly after filming began in Jamaica, Daniel slipped while running down a wet dock and his ankle, he says, “exploded”. The shooting schedule was altered while he underwent surgery in London and took 10 weeks to recover. Despite all the accidents, Daniel, 53, has no regrets. He says: “I’m really, really happy I did this movie – that I did one more. It’s been, as they always are, incredibly hard work. “But it’s a massive collaboration and one of the most moving things for me about finishing this film is some of the people that I have worked with on five Bond films. And for me that’s what it was all about – it was those people and saying goodbye to them.” DM1ST Day 1: Craig happy Turning my bond week Detective With Ana de Armas in 2019’s Knives Out dress to kill Daniel & Ana are both in latest Bond As soon as filming wrapped, Daniel did what he always does as soon as he’s free from the set. “After finishing a film I like to relax on a beach, especially if it’s been a very long shoot. And I finished Bond on a Friday and on Monday I was on a beach.” But his injury was the latest in a series of setbacks for the movie, beginning when director Danny Boyle walked off after disagreeing with Daniel and producer Barbara Broccoli. They cited “creative differences”. Cary Fukunaga, who had directed TV’s True Detective, was hired to replace Boyle. The script was scrapped and a new one created with previous Bond screenwriters and Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who was brought in to punch up the dialogue. Then the Covid pandemic struck, pushing the film’s release date back from October 2019 to April 2020 and now, finally, October this year. The film shows Bond after he has left the espionage world at the end of Spectre to begin a new life with Lea Seydoux’s French psychologist Madeleine Swann. He is retired and living in Jamaica but when his romance falls apart he is lured back into the spy game by his old CIA pal Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright. Felix asks Bond to help rescue a kidnapped scientist. It leads 007 to Cuba and on to the trail of Remi Malek’s scar-faced villain Safin armed with dangerous tech. There, Bond meets Paloma, a CIA agent played by Cuban actress Ana de Armas, with whom Daniel had worked in his previous film, Knives Out. “I’d seen Ana in Blade Runner Actor reveals what it is like to leave iconic spy role after 5 films hotshot Daniel in No Time To Die role and gasped and wondered who she was because she lights up the screen,” says Daniel, talking at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. “She’s got it. I weep when I watch her scenes with Christopher Plummer in Knives Out because they are so moving and so touching. “Later I was sitting down with our Bond director Cary Fukunaga when we were working out the Bond movie and we had a scene in Cuba. And he said, ‘Do you know Ana de Armas?’ and I went ‘Yeah I know her, I just worked with her’. “And he said, ‘I want to cast her in this part’. And I went, ‘You have my vote’. So that’s how simple it was.” In No Time To Die, stunning location shots which are always a hallmark of the Bond franchise include the historic Italian city of Matera. “Matera feels like it’s got such a dark past in many ways and such a history attached to it,” says Daniel. And as a backdrop for a Bond movie, it couldn’t have been better. “We kept them up all night driving cars fast, so I hope they’ll eventually forgive us. What is wonderful about this kind of movie is to be able to afford to go on locations that use a backdrop as an extra character in the film. It opens our movie, so it’s a big deal. It takes a huge part of the movie.” Other scenes were filmed in Norway, the Faroe Islands, Aviemore in Scotland and of course, London, where Bond visits Q’s house. Although he has holstered his Walther PPK and handed in his 007 licence for good, Daniel has plenty to keep him busy. A lifelong supporter of Liverpool Football Club, Daniel watches their televised games when he can at the New York home where he lives with actor wife Rachel Weisz and their two-year-old daughter. He has a 29-year-old daughter from a previous marriage and Rachel also has a teenage son. But although he has an estimated fortune of £200million, it is unlikely his children will get much, if any of it. He says he finds the idea of inheritance “distasteful” and says: “Isn’t there an old adage about if you die a rich person you’ve failed? “I mean, you should not leave anything. Get rid of it or give it away

I think Andrew Carnegie gave away somet h i n g l i k e $300billion in today’s money, which goes to show how rich he was.” After pocketing £25m for No Time To Die, Daniel has also finished Knives Out 2, signed up for a third and will soon begin filming period crime drama The Creed of Violence. “There isn’t any kind of plan,” he happy With wife Rachel says. “I’m very lucky to be in a situation where I get to read scripts and be sent scripts and offers and I have a really good team around me who filter out a lot of what isn’t right. “I don’t know, I’m at a stage in my career where I just want to work with people I like. So the only plan I have is to work with nice people.” He has no desire to become a director. “Oh God, no,” he says. “I go home at night and I eat something and I go to bed. If you’re the director, you go home at night, you try and eat something, but the producer is on the phone and then the producer in the US is on the phone. Maybe by three o’clock, you will get to sleep and in two hours’ time you have to be up again.” It’s clear Daniel knows exactly what he wants from life and his career – and that includes ending his era as Bond. features@mirror.co.uk @DailyMirror By ashleigh RainbiRd Diary Editor JAMES Bond producer Barbara Broccoli believes 007 will always be a man. Her comments come after Daniel Craig said Bond should remain male, but better roles should be written for women. Asked if she believed a woman will ever take the role, Barbara said: “James Bond is a male character. I hope that there will be many, many films made with women, for women, by women, about women. “I don’t think we have to take a male character and have a woman portray him. So yes, I see him as male.” Daniel is quitting as Bond having played him for a fifth time in the forthcoming No Time To Die. But Barbara confirmed talks about a replacement were not due to start immediately. “We want to celebrate the fantastic tenure of Daniel Craig, who’s given everything to this character into this franchise for 15 years,” she said. However, it has emerged that during the 1950s, Bond was almost a woman. Oscar winner Susan lined up Susan Hayward Hayward was lined up to portray 007 in the reworked version of Ian Fleming’s first Bond novel, Casino Royale. The ambitious spy film plan never came to fruition after talks fell down, leading to 007 film franchise executives Albert R Broccoli and Harry Saltzman acquiring Fleming’s rights three years later. Steven Jay Rubin, the 007 historian, expert and author of The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia, revealed Lorenzo Semple had penned a script with a woman in the lead. He said: “Lorenzo and Gregory were in the process of developing the book centring on Bond as a woman. Considering it was the mid 50s it was very controversial, but Susan Hayward was a real commodity. “For whatever reason it just didn’t happen.”

Casual observers watching Quo on Top of the Pops may not have realised how big a part he played in making them one of Britain’s best-loved groups. His bandmates Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt were the lead vocalists on the group’s hit singles, but bassist Alan wrote and sang many of their superb album tracks and live favourites. Alan, who has died aged 72, was there at the very beginning when he formed a band with schoolmate Francis in 1962. Francis said: “I am so sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. We were friends and colleagues for many years. “Alan was an integral part of the sound and the enormous success of Status Quo during the 60s and 70s. “Although it is well documented that we were estranged in recent years, I will always have very fond memories of our early days together.” Alan was born in Peckham, South London, in 1949.

The following year they had a big hit in Britain and the US with psychedelic song Pictures of Matchstick Men. By the 70s they had reinvented themselves as a stomping boogie rock band. Alan was softly spoken in interviews but his rip-roaring vocals were perfect for the band’s new style. The classic line-up – nicknamed the Frantic Four – Ace of bass 1979 also included drummer John Coghlan. Their phenomenal success included 14 top five UK albums in 10 years. Alan met wife Dayle while touring Australia in 1973, and he set up home there. They married in 1978. He was in Oz when the band filmed the video for 1977 hit Rockin’ All Over the World, and he was replaced in the footage by a life-size marionette, complete with trademark moustache. The band’s friendship was strained by the 1980s and they effectively split in 1984.

When Quo’s new line-up were free to carry on, Alan joined Aussie band The Party Boys who then had a No1 hit single there in 1987. He was in various other groups Down Under but without the same success. Fans of the classic Quo line-up rejoiced in recent years as they reunited for tours in 2013 and 2014. Alan, also known as Nuff, said: “The most important thing is our relationship has been reinstated, and we have the same camaraderie as in the early days.” He belted out songs despite struggling with multiple sclerosis.

Auctioneer Bernard Pass said: “It is remarkable that he got his crew home and saved their lives given the damage the aircraft suffered. “He showed true grit in carrying on to Cologne and not turning around, aware that the pathfinders had a crucial role in marking the targets for the following bombers.” Alfred was born in South Africa and served with 97 Squadron. His Distinguished Flying Cross citation states his aircraft “was repeatedly hit” on the raid. It added: “The bomber became difficult to control but, despite this, course was reset for the target which was attacked successfully. “On the return flight the damaged engine caught fire and could not be extinguished but Flight Lieutenant Clarke flew on to the nearest airfield to effect a masterly landing.” louie.smith@mirror.co.uk @smith_louie Given the damage the aircraft suffered.. he showed true grit BERNARD PASS from marlow auctioneers House crash airmen memorial By Andy Lines Chief Reporter THREE young US airmen have been honoured at an emotional ceremony in the British village where they were killed in a crash during the Second World War. A memorial has been unveiled to remember pilot Howard Noland, 24, flight engineer Jake Crider, 27, and radio operator Warren Terrian, 23. They died when their B-26 Marauder smashed into a house in 1944 in Hatfield Heath, Essex. The tribute was unveiled Hero Alfred and, right, Distinguished Flying Cross on the 77th anniversary of the crash. Major David Nan, of the US Air Force, was visibly moved as he said: “This was a very special gesture. We can’t thank the people of Hatfield Heath enough.” Memorial organisers Mark Ratcliff and Steve Foster spent hundreds of hours researching the crash and the airmen. The B-26, nicknamed Miss Laid, from the 391st Bomb Group, crashed in terrible weather as it returned from France to Matching airfield in Essex. tribUte The ceremony bomb site Team digging Nazi terror weapon dug up in a field By tom CAmPbeLL The remains of a Nazi V2 ballistic missile launched 77 years ago have been unearthed in a field. The 3,300mph terror weapon detonated close to the village of St Mary’s Platt, near Sevenoaks Kent, in 1944. It would have taken just minutes for the rocket to reach england when it was fired from a launch site in holland, at around midnight on February 14. No one was killed when it landed but the blast left a crater 38ft by 32ft and 14ft deep, authorities said at the time. Sean Welch, of Research Resource Archaeology which made the find, said: “Their rockets were travelling so fast. If they hit you, you would never have known anything about it.” brAve David with Diane MoD calls for hero’s widow to repay £60 By LoUie smitH The Ministry of Defence has written to the widow of a wounded D-Day hero and demanded she hand back a £60 “overpayment”.

Sunday Brunch was disrupted and host Tim Lovejoy later apologised. C4 said it was “working hard to resume normal services”. Red Bee Media blamed the glitch on a fire alarm going off at its West London broadcast centre. Vanessa’s Ben a bit naughty in lockdown Vanessa Feltz’s fiance Ben Ofoedu says he has regularly been left “mortified” by her candid revelations about their sex life. The journalist and radio host revealed they spent most of their lockdown between the sheets. And said Ben spiced up their quarantine by cooking naked while she felt it was her duty to put on “saucy” underwear. The couple have been together for 15 years and Phats and Small singer Ben said his partner’s revelations initially left him cringing. “In the early years, I was a bit mortified,” he reveals. “But now someone will come over and say, ‘Ooh, you’re at it like rabbits’. “And whatever they say, I know she’s said something. “It’s funny, I love her, and I love everything about her and what she says – it’s all good. “She’s very honest, CouPLe Vanessa and Ben she’s an honest person. “And that’s one of the reasons I’m with her – that’s one of the reasons I found her incredibly attractive.

She said they can “do whatever we want, in any room that we feel like doing it in, in any position we want to do it in, at any time of the day”. Ben admits while she isn’t always so complimentary, no subject is “off limits” to his wife. The singer, who is also in Boyz on the Block, braved more honesty from the public last week in a live identity parade with his bandmates.

The answer is a whole lot more, according to experts, who have warned of the environmental impact of using washing machines and tumble dryers. With the exception of underwear, a new report by the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) urges us to do our laundry less frequently. Not only will this help to reduce the amount of microfibres entering the environment, it will mean less energy and water is used – and fewer greenhouse gases. The report looked at several academic studies on the impact of washing clothes. One found that a T-shirt typically worn 100 items is washed and dried 50 times. But 70% of the carbon emissions created during the life of a cotton T-shirt were down to washing and drying, with only 30% coming from production. David Bott, head of innovation at the SCI, said: “If we all washed our clothes slightly less frequently, then it can make a big impact. “You certainly don’t have to wash outfits every day, except possibly undergarments. As well as microfibres, NADA FARHOUD Environment Journalist of the Year LOAD Microfibre fears ‘‘ Washing our clothes less frequently can make a big impact the detergents go into the sewage system.” It is recommended that you should wear tops and dresses four to five times before washing, bras six times, pyjamas for seven nights, wool jumpers 10 to 15 times and jeans between 15 and 30. According to Professor Mike Berners-Lee, who specialises in assessing the impact of climate change, tumble dryers produce about three times as much CO2 as washing machines. The SCI report also says that washing less frequently will make clothes last longer. Each year 350,000 used but wearable clothing items are sent to landfill. Instead, techniques such as spot cleaning, steaming, sponge cleaning and brushing, will help make clothes last a lot longer between washes. For example, hanging knitwear as close as possible to a shower without it getting wet can remove odours. For mud, wait until it has dried and use a clothes brush to remove it. A small sponge, warm water and a drop of apple cider vinegar is advised to remove food stains. Salt is also good for stubborn wet stains such as red wine, tea and tomatoes. Leave for 20 minutes before scrubbing or soaking.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk MONDAY 27.09.2021 DAILY MIRROR 27 Dr MiriaM StopparD MINUTES ON... Mastitis What is it? The word mastitis means inflammation of the breast. It’s most common in breastfeeding women, usually within the first three months after giving birth, when the breast becomes very painful, swollen and inflamed. What are the symptoms? Mastitis usually affects only one breast, and can cause a fever and for you to feel fluey. Also: • A red, swollen area on your breast that feels hot and painful to touch. • A breast lump or area of hardness in your breast. • A burning pain in your breast that may be continuous or only occur when breastfeeding. • Nipple discharge, which may be white or blood stained. When to see your GP It’s important to see your GP promptly as mastitis could lead to an abscess – a painful collection of pus – which might need to be drained surgically. What are the causes? In breastfeeding women, mastitis is often triggered by a build-up of milk caused by: • A baby not properly latching on to the breast during feeding. • A baby having problems sucking. • Infrequent or missed feeds. • A build-up of milk becoming infected with bacteria. In non-breastfeeding women, mastitis most often occurs when the breast becomes infected as a result of a cracked or sore nipple, or a nipple piercing. What’s the treatment? Self-help measures: • Getting plenty of rest and drinking water. • Using over-the-counter painkillers to reduce pain or fever. • Avoiding tight-fitting clothing until your symptoms improve. • If you are breastfeeding, make sure your baby is properly latched on to your breast. • It may help to feed more frequently and express any remaining milk after a feed and between feeds. • Antibiotics are often needed. How being bullied triggers dark and violent fantasies Bullying can leave a long-lasting stain on a person’s life in the form of PTSD, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. But there’s more to it. A team of Cambridge researchers has shown teens who are bullied fantasise about being violent. They go further – experiencing bullying and aggression in late adolescence and early adulthood is likely to lead to daydreams or fantasies about hurting or killing people, and seeking revenge for being bullied. An international team working in Zurich tracked the thoughts and experiences of 1,465 young people at the ages of 15, 17 and 20. They focused on bullying over the past 12 months and violent thoughts in the past 30 days. Questionnaires probed their darkest fantasies and levels of aggression (humiliation, beatings, murder) and imagined targets (strangers, friends). The team, led by a University of Cambridge professor, Manuel Eisner, Director of Cambridge’s Violence Research Centre, also delved into 23 forms of victimisation. They included taunts, physical attacks and sexual harassment by peers, aggressive parenting – yelling, Ask Dr Miriam QYou said in the paper some time ago that you have atrial fibrillation (AF) and you’re on tablets for it. I also have an irregular heartbeat but my doctor says I don’t need any treatment. What’s the difference? AWell, it’s complicated. An irregular heartbeat can be irregularly irregular or regularly irregular. The serious one is the former, when the heart can beat irregularly at any time without an obvious cause. In atrial fibrillation the heart rate can reach 200 beats a minute causing chest pain, GOOD NEWS slapping, hitting with a belt – and dating violence such as being pressured into sex. Suffering a range of mistreatment was closely associated with a greater likelihood of thinking about killing, attacking or humiliating others. Males were prone to violent faintness and shortness of breath. So it has to be treated. The usual remedy is drugs called beta blockers, which slow the heart down by reining it in. Then there are palpations due to stress or anxiety when the heart races for a few minutes and feels as if it could jump out of your chest, then settles down naturally. And there are extrasystoles, odd irregular heartbeats and skipped beats that occur for no reason, aren’t dangerous and need no treatment. It could be you have this one. Check with your doctor. thinking so among 17-year-old boys who hadn’t been victimised in the preceding year, the probability of violent fantasies in the past month was 56%. Those who listed five forms of victimisation had an 85% probability of having had violent fantasies. For KNOW YOUR BODY: Lichtenberg figures Lichtenberg figures are fern-like patterns on the skin that occur when someone is struck by lightning. They are named after German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742- 99), who originally discovered and studied the shapes made by electrical■■charges. These figures can also appear on the ground when a high voltage passes through or along the surface of insulating materials. Junk food ads will be banned from 2023 Adverts for unhealthy food and drink will be banned online and before the 9pm watershed by the end of 2022 in television and on-demand programmes, the Government has announced after a public consultation. However, Chris Thomas, research fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research think tank, said that the Government should be bolder and tax junk food to pay for nutritious diets. He said: “There is strong evidence that funding free nutritious food for those that need it has a positive impact on health and the economy.” ‘‘ Close to one in five 17-year-olds had at least one fantasy of killing those who listed 10 it was 97%. Among girls the same age, no victimisation experience had a violent fantasy probability of 23%, which increased to 59% in those who listed five types of mistreatment, and 73% in those who said they had suffered 10. “One way to think about fantasies is as our brain rehearsing future scenarios,” said Professor Eisner. “About 25% of all 17-year-old boys and 13% of girls reported having at least one fantasy of killing a person they know during the past 30 days – close to one in five of all the study participants at that age. “These thoughts may be deeply troubling to those who experience them,” he said. They found that socioeconomic status, financial troubles or parental separation played little role in violent fantasy rates. “It’s the difference between conditions that make people angry and upset, and those that make people vengeful.” Reassuringly, violent thoughts dropped by the age of 20 when only 14% of young men and 5.5% of women had thoughts about killing someone they know in the past month. charity of the week The Youth Sport Trust This is the UK’s leading charity improving education and development through sport and play.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk MONDAY 27.09.2021 DAILY MIRROR 29 Let’s your do this community together corner Edited by siobhanmcnally It’s the start of Bike to School Week today, so naturally I took The Dark Lord to school in a car. To be fair, she’s always late on a Monday morning after staying up far too late on a Sunday evening trying to banish those back-to-school blues with a video game killing spree. A new survey reveals only 2% of children actually cycle to school in this country, which I think is unsurprising, but everyone else seems shocked. The walking and cycling charity Sustrans commissioned a UK-wide YouGov study and found hardly any pupils travelled by bike, but many wished they could. Over half of them (57%) described their school gates as having too many cars, and less than half (40%) said the best way to bring down levels of air pollution was for more people to walk, cycle or scoot to school. Not sure what the other 60% thought was the solution – perhaps they were too busy on TikTok and couldn’t concentrate for that length of time. Well, I’d love to meet these angelic children who were surveyed by Sustrans, because the kids I know would rather chop their legs off than actually use them. Not only do school runs take up a quarter of traffic in the capital, but car journeys also take longer with small children – and cost a fortune at motorway stations in plastic tat and fast food to keep them from decapitating their siblings in the back. It’s clear to me that the answer to solving car pollution is to ban children, and then most of us won’t have to use our cars apart from the odd supermarket shop. Problem solved.

Giving Iron Man a whole new meaning, did you know that extreme ironing is actually a sport? My idea of extreme ironing is more than one school shirt, but there are crazy dudes out there who take ironing boards to remote locations like the tops of mountains and iron clothing. Combining the thrills of extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt must surely be considered for the next Olympics?

Roy, 81, who lives in nearby Llandudno, says: “The unique eight-towered Conwy castle is sited within the city walls which are unbroken even now.” Amazingly it only took Edward and his architect six years to build this fortress on the River Conwy estuary.

I remember a device, which basically reacted to the humidity. It was a little Tyrolean man and woman standing on a platform attached to a vertically-twisted fibre. They had two little huts which they stood in. When it was humid, the fibre untwisted, and the woman came out of her hut. When it was dry, she went in and he came out. Does anyone else remember them?

DM1ST 30 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 27.09.2021 DEAR COLEEN dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk your problems solved is it possible to fancy My hubby again? Dear Coleen I feel so sad because I don’t find my husband sexually attractive any more. He’s a very handsome guy, but it’s more about his attitude. Things between us are stale to say the least and we never have sex – he tries, but I always come up with a lame excuse. I know I can’t get away with this for much longer. I don’t know when I started to feel like this, I think it’s happened gradually. I don’t agree with him on much these days, whether it’s politics or what to have for tea. He’s changed and I’m not sure if I can fancy him again. Is it possible? Coleen says Maybe you’ve both changed – you sound bored. You’re in a rut and when you stop fancying someone, everything about them annoys you, including their opinions. He might have the same opinions he’s always had but, because you don’t fancy him any more, it’s just another irritation. It boils down to communication – you can’t keep fobbing him off with lame excuses. Have a conversation where you’re honest about how you feel – that the relationship is in a rut and you don’t know how to get it back to what it was. You don’t have to say you don’t fancy him. The trouble is, if you’re not communicating or getting on during the day, you’re not going to want sex when you go to bed. I don’t know if you can create that sexual chemistry again, but it’s at least worth trying before you call it a day. My fiance wants pal as his best man but he hates me Dear Coleen I’m a 28-year-old woman and I’m getting married next year to my long-term boyfriend. Everything is great apart from my fiance’s choice of best man. The guy he’s chosen has been his best mate since they started secondary school together, but he’s a total idiot. He always has to be the loudest person in the room – he’s an attention seeker – and I’m pretty sure he dislikes me as much as I dislike him, which doesn’t bode well for the best man’s speech. A few years ago, at a party at our house, I also overheard him talking to a group of friends calling me “uptight” and a “princess”. I never said anything about it at the time, not even to my boyfriend, as I didn’t want to cause a problem, but I felt hurt and angry, and those comments have stayed with me. Of course, I don’t want this guy to play such a significant role at my wedding. Also, if he really thinks those things about me, then he’s a hypocrite to accept the best man’s job and to stand up in front of people and wish us all the best – he wouldn’t mean it! How should I argue my case with my fiance? I’d love your advice. you say I’d like to respond to the letter from the lady struggling to keep her cool with her boyfriend’s nasty ex (Dear Coleen, Sept 20). The positive side of this is, you can be reasonably sure he won’t get back together with her! If I were you, I’d just ignore her behaviour. Joan Carter via email PROBLEMS? Tell Coleen Nolan about them and she’ll give you an honest answer... every weekday in the Daily 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 Mates think i’M sMug for being happy Dear Coleen I’m a woman in her early 40s and have a fantastic relationship with my husband – my issue is my friends. Whenever we get together, they’re always complaining about their husbands and partners, and I never join in because I have nothing to complain about! The other day, I was out with a few of these pals and I mentioned that I never argue with my husband and that I feel left out because I have nothing bad to say about him. One of the women said, “Wow, smug!” and the rest laughed, so I came back with, “I don’t know why any of you are with your partners because all you do is moan about them”. It went down like a cup of cold sick and when we’ve met up since there are knowing glances between them, as if they’re in on a private joke at my expense. Why should I apologise for having a good marriage? Coleen says I’m not sure you can dictate who your fiance’s best man should be. Are you really going to tell him he can’t have his oldest mate as his best man? That’s like him telling you who your bridesmaids are going to be – maybe there’s a couple of them he’s not too keen on, but I doubt he’d say it or make you fire them! I get that there’s history with this guy – he made a couple of unkind comments, probably when he was drunk and showing off. You were rightly annoyed and hurt, but the trouble with not having it out with him at the time is that your resentment has grown. Why not tell your fiance what you heard him say and that it makes you nervous about what’s planned for the speech – maybe he can get to read it first. Equally, though, I really don’t think this guy would try to ruin your wedding – he’d never do that to his best mate. And, if he is out of order, there will be plenty of people to tell him that on the day! “This guy is a an attention seeker and a total idiot Coleen says You don’t have to apologise for having a good marriage or explain it to them, but if they want to sit there and moan, let them. It sounds like it’s a bit of banter and an outlet for the stuff they deal with at home. If anything, it should just make you appreciate your own marriage more. If you get a snide look or a catty comment, then come back with some banter or sarcasm – stop comparing and criticising each other. Also, you may not have any issues with your marriage now but, at some point in the future, you might appreciate the opportunity to let off some steam yourself! Sign up to my newsletter!

The fallout of Covid has sparked a vaccine row at the show, with some professional dancers refusing to be jabbed, leaving others angry. And there are still matters of actual dancing to discuss, not to mention the judges, which now include Anton du Beke alongside Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas. So thank goodness for It Takes Two, on every week night with mega fan Rylan Clark-Neal and his new co-host, professional ballroom dancer Janette Manrara. Kicking off this series, three couples will be on the sofa for a chat, and they will be looking at the weekend’s performances in Choreography Corner. They will also snoop behind the scenes at all the latest backstage drama, the celebs’ training in action, as well as quizzing the judges, presenters and whichever famous fans they can get their hands on. HOSTS Rylan and Janette Pick of the day THE GOES WRONG SHOW BBC1, 8.30pm If you’re a fan of the type of comedy where sets fall down, lines are fluffed and props catch fire, this is an enjoyable caper. Back for a second series, it follows the chaos of the Cornley Drama Society which puts on plays for the public to ‘enjoy’. Sadly, the players are as inept as ever, this time with the added complication of an internal feud that spills out into open, incompetent warfare. The plots include a SpARKS FLY Drama Society GORDON, GINO & FRED GO GREEK! ITV, 9pm ZOOMING into shot on their jet skis, Gordon Ramsay, Gino d’Acampo and Fred Sirieix begin as they mean to go on – larking about. Of course there is always a vague culinary theme to their travel show, but mainly it’s about the chaos as the three mates wind each other up. It’s all a good laugh, as long as you enjoy their mostly childish behaviour as they swear, slather each other with mud, wear ridiculous outfits and crash the odd vehicle. The locals stare at them, bewildered. The trio are hopping around the Greek islands this time, so there is a catamaran to be manned. “I’ve sailed more boats than you’ve cooked beef wellington,” Gino assures Gordon, who is concerned. Anyone who has watched these three before will know it’s mostly about reigning in Gino (expect dancing on tables) and averting your eyes every time Fred decides to get naked. They begin their adventure in Crete, Greece’s largest island, before navigating their way to stunning Santorini, making their way to the party island of Mykonos and finishing their trip in the Greek capital Athens and the monasteries of Meteora. As the show begins, they dive for lobster and make pastry in Crete before visiting the hot springs of Santorini and then moving on to creating traditional sausages in Mykonos. There will be jet ski racing, shipwreck diving, bromance and bickering along the way, as well as plenty of fabulous food. Shakespeare history play (Colin Shakespeare that is), a US-style prison break drama and a Downton-esque family saga. A coup in the ranks means that Robert, played by Henry Lewis, is in charge of this week’s show, and he’s not going to accept Cornley’s usual shambolic standards. Under his watch, everything goes right. Right? Except the set, props, costumes and actors. But fear not, Robert has a plan to make sure the audience gets the best possible experience.

Facebook “f” Logo CMYK / .eps Facebook “f” Logo CMYK / .eps DM1ST mirror.co.uk MONDAY 27.09.2021 DAILY MIRROR 35 YOUR VOICE Edited by FIONA PARKER YOUR MEMORIES This is a treasured photo of myself and my dad, Cyril Lomas, taken in London’s Trafalgar Square in 1943. I was three and dad was on a break during the Second World War. It was a real treat as I didn’t get to see him often. He served in the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards as a dispatch rider and saw active service in Germany and Holland. Before the war he was in India. We lived in Ladbroke Grove in Notting Hill and I was born in the air raid shelter at nearby Queen Charlotte Hospital. I followed in dad’s footsteps and served in the armed forces for 25 years. Michael Lomas, Gillingham, Dorset ■If ■ you’d like to send us a photo of a cherished loved one, please email us at the address below with a picture and some information about who they are and where it was taken. Please do not send original photos as we cannot guarantee they will be returned. tHe BIG QUeStION Every day we’ll be asking your opinion on one of Britain’s big talking points. You can have your say and vote at mirror.co.uk Football supporters will be permitted to drink alcohol in their seats for the first time since 1985. Do you agree with football fans being allowed to drink in their seats? YES 56% Yes. They have done it for years in Germany and never a problem. cannylad33 No. Could be the worst football decision for quite a long time. I can’t see what good can come of it. Fountain oF WiSdoM NO 44% No. If you cannot go 45 minutes without a drink you need to take a look at yourself. londonboy1886 Yes. At last, a nice pint while watching the football – perfect. Sue WigginS ■ WE are getting hit harder and even harder through taxation. At least Cameron and May called a kettle a kettle when they forced us to live under the harshest austerity measures to balance the country’s fiscal books. But with the ending of the £20 UC uplift, and a pay freeze for many workers, aren’t we only just about managing? With the smaller energy companies dropping like flies, many of us are being forced from competitively priced suppliers back into the grasp of the Big Six. My energy firm went bust, and what a surprise, British Gas came to my “rescue”. With the energy price cap going up on October 1, we are going to struggle to pay our bills even more. Boris should order the remaining energy companies to suspend the green levies on our bills, which can make up a quarter of the cost, until the gas crisis is over. Ashley Smith, March, Cambs ■ After Thatcher sold us down the river in the 70s, the only winners were the greedy Tories and profiteering money men in the City. Now in 2021 we have families worried sick about where they are going to get gas and electricity from, with some firms closing. Many customers who left British Gas because of poor service and prices are being rerouted back to them. To have your say, go to mirror.co.uk Winter bills give us all the shivers We’ll have fewer choices as energy prices sky rocket. This country has practically no spare capacity of gas as we are held to ransom by foreign countries. And what does Boris Johnson do? He flies to Yes. Ha, ha, will give the new-gen of football fans something else to get offended by. Mark biShop No. I’d trust rugby to do this, but with football there’s always hooligans who’ll either start brawls or throw beer about the place. Scott david grahaM tHe BIG ISSUe For the first time, “cheap” fixed energy deals cost more than variable tariffs, which have traditionally been the most expensive in the market. Firms are increasing their rates to make up for out-of-control gas prices as surging wholesale costs mean the best fixed deals have been completely pulled. You say… America trying to get a trade deal and comes back empty handed. Tony Howard Salford, Gtr Manchester ■ How much more misery can families take? After lockdown, budgets are tight and now with energy firms going bust, it’s set to get worse, causing a huge amount of debt for those on low incomes. Some say firms on the brink of collapse should be nationalised. Maybe if it had been done years ago, we wouldn’t be in this situation and it would protect us from energy poverty. John Travers, Guildford, Surrey ■ Several small energy firms have already gone bust. By Christmas, it’s thought there will be just 10 suppliers left because of the rising price of gas. I can’t afford a price rise. We’re already on a tight budget and this will be a disaster. What help is the Government going to give us? Peter Challinor, Weston-super-Mare ■ It is a wake-up call for not only this country, but the world. This is a climate emergency on a huge scale and it will get worse. Families are going to feel the brunt in their pocket when energy firms raise bills, and more than likely prices will continue to rise. Raymond Brooks, Chester ■ Rather than bail out failing energy companies like was done with banks in 2008, they should all simply be nationalised. Phil Brand, London ■ The Government has a responsibility to make sure the greedy remaining energy firms don’t raise their tariffs and take advantage of loyal consumers. Simon Clearmont, Birmingham Daniel has solid Bond with ladies I completely agree with actor Daniel Craig who said there should be better lead parts for women in films so they are able to play a strong character like James■■Bond. Why can’t there be more characters like that for women? I think writers should develop parts that are just as dynamic and dramatic as Bond. I’m looking forward to watching Daniel in No Time to Die. But I’m sad it will be his last Bond film as he has been my favourite 007 so far and I will miss him. Shirley Taylor, Bedminster Hit the rich not our UC ■ ■ There is far too much sympathy shown by the present Conservative government towards the small number of extremely wealthy people in this country. That’s why the poorest people are being targeted for a £20 cut to their Universal Credit payment rather than a tax being levied on the wealthiest. And if wealthy people are more inclined to remove their assets from this country when faced with a bigger tax bill, then the Government or the Home Office should respond by removing their British citizenship from them. If these suggestions were ever to happen in practice then it would prove the validity of that old maxim that “all actions have consequences”. Howard Gardner Sale, Cheshire ■It ■ is a sad fact that this country has become a negative nation of objectors. A new coalmine would not only provide all the coal we need without importing it but at the same time allow us to make a profit for the country by selling the surplus. Shale oil and gas, which has been a huge success for America, sits underground while we import gas and electricity from Europe. When will we face the facts, use common sense and make the right decisions? Colin Bower Sherwood, Nottingham Tweet of the day Presenter Paddy McGuinness supporting HGV drivers… @PaddyMcGuinness – Wanted to take my Class 1 years ago but couldn’t afford the costs of training. I just wanted to drive wagons. Never found out what HGV drivers earned? Watching the news it seems they’re poorly paid? Hopefully this changes and training costs reduced but standards remain high.

MONDAY 27.09.2021 DAILY MIRROR 37 fAsT LANe Hurricane Lane will line-up in the Arc next Sunday Lane set for paris match with adayar By CHRIs GoULdING JAMES DOyLE will partner Irish Derby and St Leger winner Hurricane Lane in Sunday’s Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp after trainer Charle Appleby confirmed the colt will run alongside stablemate Adayar. And Godolphin’s Appleby says each horse has outstanding credentials. “I’m very pleased with both of them,” he said. “We’re excited, with this being the 100th Arc, having two colts going into it with the profiles they have. “The way the forecast looks at the moment, it seems there’s going to be a bit of rain during the course of the week, and that will suit us. “The only negative I can give to the participation of Hurricane Lane is if it was to become fast ground.” William Buick, principal rider for Godolphin, opted for the Derby and King George winner Adayar last week but admitted it was a tough call to choose between the two Frankel colts. Doyle (below), who has never ridden the colt in any of his seven races, sat on Hurricane Lane for the first time in his work on Saturday. And Appleby added: “James couldn’t have been any happier — he moved well.” Hurricane Lane will be no stranger to Longchamp after demolishing his rivals in the Grand Prix de Paris in July on very soft ground. And Appleby believes the race will be won by one of the first four in the betting — Tarnawa (5-2), Adayar (11-4), Snowfall (5-1) or Hurricane Lane (6-1). mr mccann may have derby goaL MR McCANN, owned by current and former Liverpool players which includes James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Trent Alexander- Arnold, Andy Robertson, Adam Lallana and England star Jordan Henderson, booked his ticket for next year’s Derby after winning at Epsom yesterday. The colt’s success gives his owners automatic entry for the Epsom Classic, although it does not guarantee a run. The two-year-old (above), named after Liverpool’s press officer Matt McCann, is a 66-1 shot with Paddy Power.

38 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 27.09.2021 rugby league eNglaND wane world boosted by southgate By GareTh Walker SHAUN WANE has had football counterpart Gareth Southgate among his confidantes while trying to make the most of another Covid-ravaged international year. Wane has taken charge of just one match since being appointed England boss in February last year, a home defeat to a Combined Nationals All Stars team this June. Last season’s Ashes series with Australia was cancelled, before this year’s World Cup was postponed until 2022. Wane takes his team to face France in Perpignan on October 23, and has been swapping notes with Southgate (below) during a frustrating 12 months. Wane (above) explained: “I’ve spoken to Gareth Southgate, and it’s a positive that the coach of the biggest sport in our country is happy to talk to me about the detail of what they do. It was during and after the Euros. “He’s grateful for his job like I am – I’m doing a job I’d do for nothing. I got loads off him, and other business people. When all this kicked off I made a pact to myself about going to bed and having got better and improved, made myself a better coach or better dad.” Wane admits it hasn’t been an easy tenure so far but is now relishing the prospect of taking on a French side buoyed by the success of Catalans and Toulouse this year. Four players each from top two sides, Catalans and St Helens, have been named in the annual Super League Dream Team. Dream Team: Tomkins, Davies (both Catalans), Welsby, Percival (both St Helens), Sio (Salford), Lomax (St Helens), Maloney (Catalans), Walmsley (St Helens), Leeming (Leeds), Kasiano (Catalans), Farrell (Wigan), Linnett (Hull KR), Knowles (St Helens). DM1ST RUGBY UNION lONDON IrISH 31 Sale 31 GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP RONA THE SAVIOUR Rona Curtis goes over as the Irish come roaring back UNBEELIEVABLE IRISH ESCAPE! Exiles emulate Brentford fight on same pitch By alex Spink Rugby Correspondent @alexspinkmirror Manu TuiLagi was left stunned as London irish came back from the dead to break the hearts of sloppy Sale. On the same pitch that Thomas Frank’s Brentford shocked Liverpool by forcing a last-gasp draw on Saturday, Irish delivered their own never-say-die epic against more fancied opposition. Trailing 31-14 with half an hour to play the Exiles scored three tries and would have won had Paddy Jackson’s 58-metre final shot for glory (right) not cannoned back off an upright. Irish coach Les Kiss revealed his side took inspiration from the Bees’ stirring Premier League comeback. He said: “We didn’t lose belief in what we’re about. What we saw from Brentford was a team that just fights for everything. We weren’t quite there the whole game but when we got our stuff together we too fought for everything.” Sale boss Alex Sanderson had warned his team of the need to start and finish strongly against an Irish side which doesn’t know when it’s beaten. He pointed to the way new world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk had shocked A n t h o n y Joshua. “ J o s h u a went in as odds-on,” he said. “But the Ukrainian hit him hard early on and rocked him and he went gun-shy. Irish have also got an ability to fire a shot or two but we can’t let it rock us. We have to see our plan through.” For a while it seemed Sharks had taken note. Tuilagi made the opening try for AJ MacGinty and further scores from Marland Yarde, Sam James and Will Cliff had the bonus point secured before half-time. “We should have put the ball in Manu’s hands more in that second half as his timing was back to the glory days,” Sanderson later conceded. “We have to be smarter. We were banging our heads into brick walls in the end.” Former Lions star Sean O’Brien came off the bench to spark a comeback which saw fullback Tom Parton bag two smart tries. Curtis Rona scored their fourth three minutes from time to enable Jackson to level the scores with a touchline conversion. But the former Ireland fly-half could not repeat the magic from his own half with the final act of the game. cockerill’s ready to back up eddie By alex Spink RICHARD COCkERILL says he has no problem taking orders from Eddie Jones because he is not even boss in his own home. Jones has hired the feisty Cockerill to put fire back into England’s forward pack after a dreadful Six Nations. Both men have made a career out of speaking their minds, yet Cockerill insists he is happy to play second fiddle. “When I spoke to Eddie about what part there was for me, I accepted where I would sit in the hierarchy,” said the former Leicester boss. “I’ve no problem with it. I’m very good at taking orders. I spend a lot of time at home so I get lots of orders there from my wife. “Eddie knows me well enough and knows the personality I am. “That’s what he wants – opinion and different views. But ultimately he is the boss and he will make decisions and have the final say.”

DM1ST mirror.co.uk/sport MONDAY 27.09.2021 DAILY MIRROR 39 FORMULA ONE By keith webster JuST when it seemed as though a young British upstart would rain on lewis Hamilton’s parade, the seven-time world champion looked to the heavens for inspiration. There were only five laps to race in Russia and Lando Norris was on the verge of a first Grand Prix victory to become the third-youngest winner in history. By the time those five laps were over, F1’s greatest gladiator had become the sport’s only centurion. But make no mistake, Hamilton needed all his skill, as well as a large slice of weather luck, to force his Mercedes past the McLaren driven by the 21-year-old from Bristol and on to the 100th chequered flag of his record-breaking career. Norris held off the F1 GOAT lap after lap until the storm clouds blew in. He decided to risk the final five laps on slick tyres, while Hamilton dived in for fresh boots to cope with the rain. Hamilton lost about 26 seconds in doing so but by the time he re-emerged (below) the rain was heavy and Norris was gently nudging his car round the track, unable to find traction. That massive lead, along with his hopes of a richlydeserved victory, evaporated in two laps. Hamilton, who started his F1 career in the McLaren in 2007 and won his first world title there in 2008, commiserated with Norris, whose bad luck ultimately handed Hamilton his landmark victory. He said: “Lando did an amazing job. He had incredible pace. He’s doing a great job for McLaren. This was bittersweet. It’s nice to see my old team ahead. “I want to start with thanking the fans. We have such a great crowd here. I know it’s not been the best of weather but what a race it provided! “The team made such a good call at the end. I didn’t want to let Lando go. I’m incredibly grateful to all these men and women here and back in the factory. Wow, 100!” And Hamilton revealed that he started the race hellbent on making up for the errors in qualifying on Saturday that left him down in fourth on the grid. He said: “Going to bed last night, with the job that I did yesterday, there were subtle little mistakes. I was so determined to do the best job I could. It was tough.” Norris will have plenty of success to come in his career, but the heartbreak of having the weather snatch a famous win from his grasp was clear to see. “I don’t know where to start,” he said. “I’m unhappy, devastated in a way. “We made a call to stay out and we stand by that. It was the wrong one but I made the decision just as much as the team. “It was more that they thought I should box and I decided to stay out. It was my decision – I thought it was the way to go. “I had the confidence beforehand that I was capable of leading a race and I’ve felt capable of doing that for a while. So I don’t think that’s really changed. It’s just a bit of heartbreak.” Max Verstappen started from the back of the grid as a penalty for using a fourth engine this season but finished second to make sure Hamilton’s lead is only two points in the championship. He said: “With the penalty we had, to only lose one spot is definitely not too bad. When I woke up this morning I definitely didn’t expect this result.” looks like reign again Hamilton back on top as weather helps him catch unlucky Lando RUSSIAN GP ReSULtS 1 Hamilton (Gbr) .1hr30m41.001s 2 Verstappen (Ned) .....at 53.271 3 Sainz Jr (Spa) .......at 1:02.475 4 Ricciardo (Aus) ... at 1:05.607 5 Bottas (Fin) ........... at 1:07.533 6 Alonso (Spa) ........... at 1:21.321 7 Norris (Gbr) ............ at 1:27.224 8 Raikkonen (Fin) .... at 1:28.955 9 Perez (Mex) ........... at 1:30.076 10 Russell (Gbr) ........ at 1:40.551 DRIVeRS StANDINGS 1 Hamilton Mercedes GP 246.5pts 2 Verstappen Red Bull ...... 244.5 3 Bottas Mercedes GP ........... 151 4 Norris McLaren ...................139 5 Perez Red Bull .................... 120 6 Sainz Jr Ferrari ................ 112.5 7 leclerc Ferrari..................... 104 8 Ricciardo McLaren ..............95 9 Gasly Scuderia .....................66 10 Alonso Alpine ......................58 not even sure it would come.

40 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 27.09.2021 SAM I love the Ryder Cup, but I fear that it will become just another golf tournament if people continue to moan about some aspects that make it uniquely brilliant. The Ryder Cup lowers the bar of traditional golfing etiquette to create magical moments and unmissable drama, fuelled by the tense but friendly rivalry that fans and players feel comfortable to stoke. The crowd is a contentious but key factor. The vast majority are enthusiastic, vibrant and fun. like anyone else, I wince with each shout of “Mashed Potatoes!”, but if those shouts encourage fans to contribute to the iconic Ryder Cup galleries, then I’m oK with it. The chant of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” could do with a freshen up, too. The crowd outfits are a highlight for me. The Americans have their bold Red, White and Blue flag inspired costumes (top), which are matched by the classic european waistcoat and kilt ensembles or a suitably coloured blue and yellow Bananaman suit. The booing of player announcements isn’t my personal cup of tea, but equally I don’t really mind it. There are two types of boos – hateful, aggression filled, xenophobic boos, and there are pantomime villain boos. The Ryder Cup boos are certainly the latter. I laugh when I see Tommy Fleetwood’s cheeky wry smile (above) as he takes his quek Forget the moaners... quirky cup is special greeting with the jest it is intended to be. And let’s also not forget how much the european fans booed Patrick Reed throughout his rounds at Gleneagles in 2014, because he refused to dance for the fans at the first tee. The boos were so constant it prompted that iconic image of him putting his finger to his lips and shushing the crowds. I didn’t find that a disgrace either, I found it funny. It became an iconic image like Ian Poulter dancing around dressed as a post-box in Paris, or Paul McGinley jumping in the lake at the Belfry, or, indeed, Daniel Berger and Justin Thomas chugging beers for the crowds at Whistling Straits this past Saturday afternoon. The informal shouts, chants, fancy dress, boos, player antics and over-the-top celebrations all add to the rivalry which elevates the occasion. And you’d be hard pressed to find a better behaved 200,000-plus crowd at any other sport. Traditionalists will tell you that they fear the Ryder Cup’s antics will spill over into golf’s other tournaments – but they must have short memories. The Ryder Cup has always had its quirks, yet the wonderful traditionalism of the other tournaments has remained. The Ryder Cup and all of its informalities should be celebrated for being different, rather than criticised for not being more of the same. I hope it never changes. Unlike with the Andy Ruiz Jr fight, i wasn’t shocked Anthony Joshua (right) lost to Oleksandr Usyk. AJ has been fabulously managed throughout his career and i always feared for him when he was forced to face a mandatory proper boxer, in his prime. Usyk was just far too good for him.

It was as animated as he had been all week. The frustrations of his desperate performance came out in one air-punch – later, they would come out in a succession of teary interviews. He knew his win over Xander Schauffele in the first singles match of the final star-spangled procession was meaningless. Behind him, the tame European handover was in full swing. It was a tame European handover he had been fundamental to. McIlroy – the talisman, the four-time Major winner, the golfer with a swagger like no other – arrived at the party only when the Americans were leading the last dance. Even the Spanish well of inspiration ran dry on the final day, a tired-looking Jon Rahm losing to Scottie Scheffler and Sergio Garcia succumbing to big-hitting Bryson DeChambeau. McIlroy was always in charge of his game but, as he saw the scoreboard become soaked with red, his look changed to a familiar one. The look of someone who would rather be anywhere other than where he was at that very moment. Before seeing off a ragged Schauffele, McIlroy had been an emblem for everything that went wrong for Padraig Harrington’s team on the shores of Lake Michigan. Maybe that sort of pressure is why we saw the outpouring of emotions after he closed out his contest on the 16th. Of course, he was not the only one to show up without his ‘A’ game. Or ‘B’ game. But McIlroy was one of those who was supposed to fight USA fire with fire. Ahead of the contest, McIlroy said he was going to keep a lid on his emotions. As he lost all three of his matches in the foursomes and fourballs, he certainly managed to do that. It is not easy to get pumped up when you are hitting it sideways, granted. He played decently on the final day, managing five rare birdies in his 3&2 victory, but it goes without saying that it was far too little, far too late. So little, so late, that it was, in fact, irrelevant, other than to post a rare European point. Although his passion for the event flooded from his eyes when he had completed his win, McIlroy’s mood throughout seemed oddly low-key. But the truth, obvi- ously, is that it reflected how he was simply unable to find any sort of sustained form. Clearly, that is what eventually drove him to tears. And Rahm and Garcia aside, the same went for the rest of Harrington’s team. Too many players either past their career best or badly out of nick. Mix that with a collection of young American players who dominate the upper e chelons of the world rankings and you have a cocktail that could lead to United States superiority for many years to come. Losing on opposition soil is not unusual in the modern Ryder Cup – in fact, it is pretty much the norm. But this was some loss. Then again, this is a formidable collection of American players. Between the sobs, McIlroy said he could not wait for another crack at them. Which is great. Because he has a lot of making up to do.

42 DAILY MIRROR MONDAY 27.09.2021 GooD CaUSe The Head for Change charity match at Spennymoor stiles: top stars are so terrified THE son of former England World Cup winner Nobby Stiles says scores of top players are living in fear for their futures as research continues to emphasise the links between the long-term impact of heading the ball and neurodegenerative disorders. Former Leeds midfielder John Stiles, whose father Nobby died in October 2020 having suffered from advanced dementia, was speaking at a match in Spennymoor, organised by the charity Head for Change, which was played under rules designed to restrict the use of heading. Stiles (right, with his dad) said: “We got 60 players to back Head for Change’s request for a fund to help the suffering families and advise players about the ticking time bomb. The word I got more often than not was that they were terrified. “These are players between the ages of 35 and 60 and if they can’t remember something, they think, ‘Is it happening to me?’ That’s how real it is. I was with a bunch of ex-players a couple of weeks ago and they were absolutely terrified, because it is a terrifying disease.” Nobby Stiles was one of five members of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning squad to have subsequently suffered from dementia. In February, Stiles’ family announced they had donated his brain to science in order to assist research into sportsrelated dementia. The match in Spennymoor only allowed heading in the penalty boxes in the first half, and outlawed it completely after the break. One of the participants, former Middlesbrough defender and Spennymoor’s assistant manager Stuart Parnaby, said the increase in proven cases had inevitably raised concerns. “Obviously it hasn’t really started with our generation yet, but it is affecting those before, and it makes you start thinking, is it going to be me in the future?” said Parnaby. “It’s going to take years for things to change in terms of how football’s played, but in terms of how much heading kids can do, that can change. “It doesn’t mean heading is taken out all together, but you reduce how much heading you do in your career by, for example, only heading the ball on a match day.” DM1ST McGinn: A ‘huge win’ to build on By DaviD McDonnell JOHN McGINN claimed Aston Villa’s win at Manchester United showed just how far the team have come under manager Dean Smith. Villa secured a first win at Old Trafford since 2009 and midfielder McGinn (above) said they had shown what they are capable of achieving this season. “It was huge for us to set a marker down for this season,” said McGinn. “It’s been an indifferent start to the season, with a lot of new players trying to adapt. “We’re missing a couple of big players as well, so it’s a huge, huge result. “They’ve got some of the best players in the world. We’ve got players who are hungry to be that and trying to get to that level.” McGinn feared the worst when United were awarded a penalty in added time, and said: “I thought it was going to be typical at the end. “I thought I’d be loading my phone up and seeing all my mates’ fantasy points for Bruno Fernandes. “But thankfully he put it over the bar and the away end’s gone wild.” man utd 0 aston villa 1 Hause 88 lame fernandes won’t be fazed if put on the spot again consequent defeat,” said Fernandes, writing on Instagram. “I’ve always assumed my responsibilities and I’ve always embraced them under pressure in moments like this.

The Portugal midfielder, who had converted 21 of his 22 spot kicks for the Reds, blazed the ball over the bar (above) in the 90th minute of the 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa (right, boss Dean Smith celebrates the win with Kortney Hause). “Nobody is more frustrated and disappointed than me for missing the penalty and the step forward and faced the challenge with the same ambition and responsibility as when, on the many other occasions, the ball ended up in the net. “Criticism and contrasting opinions are a big part of football. I’ve learned to live with it, even using them to drive me on, and I consider it all a very important part of my commitment to never stop trying to improve and to become the best player I can possibly be, for me and the team. “Today I once again took the responsibility given to me almost since I joined United and I will take it again without any fear or dread whenever called upon. “The most important thing for me is to win together and I’ll always do everything I can to help my team-mates and the club to be the best we can be. “I’m a player who leaves everything on the pitch, with great desire and commitment.

mirror.co.uk/sport THAT’S RANK, BRUNO Fernandes after blazing his penalty over the bar and failing to rescue a point DM1ST excuses If a Manchester United boss is If a Manchester United boss is moaning to deflect attention from a defeat, you know he must be feeling the pressure By david mcdonnell @DiscoMirror When a manager starts looking for excuses to justify a defeat, you know the pressure is on. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did just that after this defeat, which piled the pressure on the Manchester United boss and served as a brutal reality check to their title aspirations. A third defeat in four, a second in a row at home, has amplified the scrutiny on Solskjaer and emboldened those who believe he is out of his depth. Aston Villa deservedly left Old Trafford with three points, their enterprise and efficiency yielding a first win at United in 12 years, Solskjaer seeking refuge in unconvincing mitigation. The United boss claimed Villa’s 88th-minute winner should have been ruled out for offside, then blamed their players for crowding around Bruno Fernandes prior to his stoppage-time penalty miss. Both claims were nothing more than diversionary tactics, designed to shift the focus away So, who’s going to demand to take the next penalty for United? Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo penalty records for Manchester United.... Taken Scored Conversi Bruno 23 21 91% ronaldo 20 17 85% on rate We’re just going to have to wait and see... from his and United’s shortcomings, which have become a recurring theme in recent weeks. Defeat in their Champions League opener to Young Boys, a Carabao Cup exit at home to West Ham and a first Premier League defeat of the season here have cast a familiar shadow over Solskjaer. Even his most loyal supporters are now questioning, after two full seasons of undoubted progress under their former striker, whether he is the right man to take them to the next level. The next few weeks will go a long way to determining that, and Solskjaer will find his position under increasing pressure if he cannot turn things around. On Wednesday, United host bogey team Villarreal, who beat them on penalties in May’s Europa League final, with Solskjaer set to be without three of his first-choice back four. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is suspended, while injuries to Luke Shaw and skipper Harry Maguire are likely to leave him having to field a makeshift back-line. Nothing less than victory over the Spaniards will do after United’s woeful recent run, but there was little here to suggest that is a given, with their lack of fluency and fortitude. “I know these players, I know they will fight to put this right,” said Solskjaer. “We have a Champions League game this week and are looking forward to that. “We didn’t start well in the Champions League but we’ll be fired up, the fans and the players for that one, and we’ll be on the front foot looking to win.” United may have produced 28 shots, but posed little genuine threat to the Villa goal, and were undone again by a set-piece, Kortney Hause heading in from a corner. After Villarreal, United face a tricky October, which includes fixtures against Everton, Leicester, Atalanta and Liverpool, with champions Manchester City lurking in early November. That run promises to be a huge test of Solskjaer’s ability to haul United out of their predicament and show the past few games were a blip, rather than proof he has taken the team as far as he can. United have staked a lot on Solskjaer, after third and secondplace finishes in the Premier League saw him handed a new long-term contract in the summer, as well as key additions to the squad in Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo. But that deal will provide little security for Solskjaer if he cannot reverse the current situation and United are forced to make a bold call on one of the most popular and iconic figures in the club’s illustrious history. With the formidable squad he has now, there can be no excuses for not challeng- ing for the title, which is why defeats like this could ultimately spell the beginning of the end for Solskjaer.

A rip-roaring atmosphere, brilliant all-action performance and an unforgettable victory over their greatest rivals. For the visitors it will go down as a defeat so bad that if alarm bells were not already ringing about Nuno Espirito Santo at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – where on Saturday Anthony Joshua lost his boxing world crown – they will be now. Mixed in with the north London bragging rights is an incredible turnaround in the space of 28 days which suggests these are two clubs heading in different directions. On August 29, Tottenham went top of the Premier League after three wins in a row, Arsenal were bottom after three straight defeats. Arsenal are now 10th, Spurs 11th, which shows how quickly things can change. That may be some consolation for Nuno, but there is no escaping how rapidly it has gone sour for Spurs. Arsenal were as good as Tottenham were bad. They were so dominant in the first half they could have scored more than three, while Spurs looked as if they either did not understand the game plan or were not playing for the manager. They were a complete shambles, overrun in midfield, toothless up front and a mess in defence. Arsenal were full of energy, passion and movement. They were brilliant. Thomas Partey was the kingpin in midfield, providing the foundation on which the skilful players could shine. Bukayo Saka, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emile Smith Rowe (right) scored and were superb, while in midfield Martin Odegaard pulled strings. Aaron Ramsdale was confident in goal, Takehiro Tomiyasu looks an instant hit with his battling qualities, and Ben White and Gabriel were solid in defence. It was a complete team performance which Tottenham could not match. They did get better in the second half as Oliver Skipp replaced Dele Alli, who was anony- m o u s , w h i l e Emer- son Royal came on for Japhet Tanganga following his wretched 45 minutes. But by the time Heung-Min Son gave Tottenham hope in the 79th minute, most of the away end had emptied and the home fans were singing to Nuno: “You’re getting sacked in the morning.” And when the final whistle blew, the Emirates erupted in joy. Arsenal were better from first to last. The opening goal came after 12 minutes when Odegaard spread the ball wide to Saka and his low cross was brilliantly steered home by Smith Rowe. It showed just what incredible

mirror.co.uk/sport london Nuno’s reputation battered and bruised telepathic understanding Saka and Smith Rowe have. The second goal came on 27 minutes. Aubameyang’s brilliant flick on the halfway line was reminiscent of Dennis Bergkamp’s wonder goal at Newcastle all those years ago, Smith Rowe then raced forward and pulled the ball back for Aubameyang to fire home. The third was another terrific team effort. Partey robbed Harry Kane, Smith Rowe played the ball forward to Saka who charged into the box, Kane chased back and threw himself into a challenge but Saka was still able to fire home past a helpless Hugo Lloris. Tottenham pushed Arsenal further back after the restart but Kane could not get into the game and missed a giltedged chance when he went through but fired wide. Eventually, Son pulled one back following fine work by Skipp, the impressive Bryan Gil and Sergio Reguilon. But it was too little too late. Arsenal had eased off, Spurs did not have enough to fight back. Lucas Moura came close when his shot was deflected and Ramsdale made a sensational save to tip the ball on to the crossbar. It was enough to maintain the two-goal winning margin and keep Arsenal above Tottenham on goal difference. DM1ST 1-0 Smith Rowe gets the Gunners off to a flying start, and they never looked back premier league emirates stadium Gutless Spurs wave white flag By Darren Lewis FROM Champions League finalists to chasing shadows – where do Spurs go from here? This gutless surrender saw them fall below Arsenal in the table, possibly for the foreseeable future in what would represent a return to the 20-year period pre-Mauricio Pochettino. It also exposed the lack of spine, cohesion, unity and – in some areas – commitment in Nuno Espirito Santo’s ranks. Don’t be fooled by the late, late rally, capped by Heung-Min Son’s 79th-minute strike. Spurs waved the white flag long before then. Don’t go down that tired old route of pinning it on Harry Kane either. Is the England captain really to blame for the failure of his team-mates to cope with Arsenal’s blistering counter-attacks? Is he really to blame for the individual errors that have been a feature of Tottenham’s performances since those early-season wins that clearly flattered them? Can you really blame Kane for Tanguy Ndombele not being fit, for Dele Alli being unable to impose himself, and for Sergio Reguilon being utterly incapable of coping with Bukayo Saka? No you can’t. It isn’t all about the England captain. Not when it took just 34 minutes for Arsenal to race into an unassailable threegoal lead – the earliest a side has ever established that advantage in a Premier League north London derby. The supporters who stayed until the end turned up for longer than the players. That’s on Nuno (above). Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has handed him the keys to one of the biggest clubs in the country. He has to prove he is worthy of that faith. Nuno’s impassiveness as his side fell apart summed up just how far Spurs have fallen since they touched the sky with Pochettino. nuno’S plan down pan FROM BACK PAGE won’t name any individuals but the game-plan was not right according to the players who were on the pitch.” Nuno, who hauled off Dele Alli (left) and Japhet Tanganga at half-time, added: “We were not aggressive enough to control Arsenal in midfield.” Spurs captain Hugo Lloris admitted his side were humiliated as Arsenal moved above them in the table. The France skipper said: “We lost complete control first half. We got smashed.” Heung-Min Son grabbed a 79th-minute consolation after Spurs rallied late on but a comeback never looked on the cards. In fact the scoreline flattered them. Gunners boss Arteta said: “It was one of the nicest feelings I have had in this stadium. “It was a big occasion for us, a big game, and to win it the way we did was really special. “This win is for the fans, they’ve been incredible in tough moments when we needed the support and it doesn’t get much better than the atmosphere we had here today. “you have the right energy here when the crowd is with you.” Victory was a milestone for Arsenal – it was their 600th in the Premier League. Only Chelsea (601) and Manchester United (691) have more.

I don’t really MTK Global, his management see another option. I think he company, which simply read: has to take it.” “And STILL the best Hearn claims the rematch heavyweight on the planet.” will probably be in the UK in Joshua said: “I’ll fight Tyson February or March next year, Fury, Wilder without the belts. despite Usyk’s dream of “The belts are fun, it’s fighting in the Olympic Stadium in Kiev in his Ukrainian homeland. Joshua, 31, claims he does not need a tune-up fight, despite being well beaten by Usyk. “One hundred percent I want the rematch, 110 percent,” he said. “I’m ready to go back into training to pick up where I left off. “He still gets hit a lot and in the rematch I’ll hit him with concussive power.” Joshua also insisted his showdown with Tyson Fury could still happen, even though he no longer holds the WBA, IBF and WBO titles. Fury is on a self-imposed social media ban but he BrieDis on menu for the sauce BY david anderson LAWRENCE OkOLiE wants a unification clash with Mairis Briedis after stopping Dilan Prasovic in three rounds to defend his WBO cruiserweight title on the Joshua undercard. Okolie floored Prasovic (above) in the second before finishing off his mandatory challenger with a body shot in the third to improve his unbeaten record to 17-0. The 2016 Olympian, nicknamed The Sauce, wants iBF title holder Briedis next. Trainer Shane McGuigan said: legacy, but don’t worry about the belts, I’ll fight whoever. “The road to undisputed is still a nice title to have, a nice title to chase, but would you want to see us without the belts? “Yeah? Exactly. You’ve got two competitive fighters who want to go toe-to-toe.” Usyk, 34, promised to give Joshua an immediate rematch, despite the temptation of chasing the winner of Fury’s trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder on October 9 for the undisputed title. “As long as we have a rematch clause in our contract, then AJ is my next opponent,” he said. “He needs the best guys to test him. The best is Briedis.” Callum Smith was relieved opponent Lenin Castillo was discharged from hospital after being carried out of the ring. Smith floored Castillo with a right hand in the second round of his debut at lightheavyweight and referee Bob Williams waved the contest off when he saw the Dominican’s legs twitching uncontrollably. Campbell Hatton extended his unbeaten start to 4-0 with a 58-57 points win over Sonni Martinez at lightweight. It’s gone spursy For aJ Out-punched and out-thought by Usyk, but Joshua refuses to believe that his career is shattered & vows: This isn’t just one fight and I’m done ... I won’t sulk, I’ll bounce right back BY david anderson @MirrorAnderson aS oleksandr Usyk celebrated winning their re-run of the crimean War, anthony Joshua was already plotting his revenge. Joshua analysed footage of his damaging loss, which cost him his WBA Super, IBF and WBO heavyweight world titles, in his dressing room at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tony Bellew and Derek Chisora popped in to commiserate with him on joining them as members of the Usyk losers’ club and gave him some pointers. And Joshua was defiant when he finally emerged from his dressing room more than two hours after his surprise defeat, claiming he had started planning for the rematch. Unlike his defence against Usyk, Joshua’s self-belief is rock solid and he insists he will win back his unified world title, just like he did when he suffered his only other loss, to Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019. “I’m not a sulker,” said Joshua (below) after his defeat. “This is a blessed opportunity to be able to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world.

mirror.co.uk/sport DM1ST MONDAY 27.09.2021 DAILY MIRROR 47 AT TOTTENHAM FOR CRUSHED CHAMP jOSHUA all TARGET PRACTICE Usyk had AJ’s number from the first round and at the end was celebrating with fellow Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko (right) I’m not going to go home tonight and be crying about it, because this is war. “It’s a long process. This isn’t just one fight and I’m done. I can’t go back and sulk, that’s a waste of time. “I am going back to look at ways I can improve, straight away. I have already looked at the fight. When I walked back through the tunnel I said to myself, ‘I am ready to get back into the gym’.” While Joshua’s positivity is commendable, what was worrying was his virtual denial of what happened. He claimed his unanimous points defeat to Usyk was “a good experience” and that he did not regret trying to beat the Ukrainian at his own game by outboxing the boxer. In another echo of the Crimean War, his gameplan was as ill-conceived as the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade and he was soundly beaten. Joshua added: “It was a great experience and we’ve progressed once again. You’ve got to trust the process, good or bad. I can’t look at it and have any regrets. “I believe I will get a good win in the next fight because of what I did in this fight. It was a great lesson. I’m a quick learner and I’ll bounce back.” Eddie Hearn struck a more realistic tone when he said he felt Usyk had got inside Joshua’s head. “One thing Usyk does well is he infiltrates your brain,” said the Matchroom supremo. “You are almost worrying about how good he is. “I think maybe AJ gave him too much respect, particularly in the early part of the fight.” Hearn is right. Joshua stood off Usyk and allowed him to dictate the tempo in front of the 66,000 crowd. The southpaw repeatedly landed and was particularly effective with his left hook, while restricting Joshua to just isolated success with his right. Usyk was superb at moving in and out of the pocket and sent Joshua staggering backwards with another left in the seventh. Joshua’s right eye began to swell up in a sign of Usyk’s accuracy and he could not see out of it by the ninth. Hearn feared Usyk would stop Joshua and he almost did in the 12th when he pinned the champion on the ropes and unloaded on him. Joshua stuck out his tongue in an attempt to show he wasn’t hurt, but he wasn’t fooling anyone. The judges had the contest 117-112, 116-112, 115-113 on the scorecards (left) and Usyk was a two-weight world champion in the city where he won Olympic heavyweight gold in 2012. “London really is a lucky city for me,” he smiled. the big fight stats joshua 641 123 19% 427 52 12% 214 71 33% Punches thrown Punches landed: Success rate Jabs thrown Jabs landed Success rate Power punches thrown Power punches landed Success rate usyk 529 148 28% 309 52 17% 220 96 44% OLEKSANDR USyK landed more punches on Anthony Joshua than any of his 25 previous opponents.

2 By Alex Crook RALPH HASENHuTTL blasted his shot-shy Southampton side after a third Premier League blank in a row. Saints struggled to seriously test Wolves keeper Jose Sa as their wait for a first league win of the season continues. And boss Hasenhuttl (above) said: “We are all disappointed because at the moment we are struggling to find the net. “This is a little bit frustrating because it is three games without a goal in the Premier League and the chances DAILY MIrror 27.09.2021 mirror.co.uk/sport/football Ralph: my saints must start filling in the blanks have definitely been there. “They scored from a very naive situation and that made it even more difficult. We did not defend properly at that moment.” Saints paid £15million for Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong, but he has not scored since a debut goal at Everton on the opening day. Hasenhuttl added: “It is not new that strikers coming to us need a little bit of time to adapt to the Premier League. “But it is not only the strikers. We also have No.10s coming into good situations to score. “There were some interesting situations where we should be able to make more out of it, many more than Wolves had. “Teams are defending properly and you need to have something special to score. “We are not finding this something special at the moment.” DM1ST ‘i knew goal was coming’ FROM FRONT PAGE given great confidence to him. With goals you give happiness to everyone. The face when you win is not the face when you lose. It was a special goal for Raul. “I saw since the first day that he was a guy with a big ambition and hungry to come back to play to score goals for us. Today it happened, but he knows he needs to continue to score goals.” Jimenez feared he might never play again following his horrific head injury and only returned at the start of this campaign. It was his first goal since October after a frustrating start to the season, and he said: “I want to score every game. I knew the goal was coming, I was fighting for it, working for it and the team deserves it. “I was thinking, ‘When will the goal come?’. It felt really good.” OUR TRADE SHOW IS BACK ONLINE MON 27TH SEPT - SUN 3RD OCT Brushless Combi Drill ✓ 90min Charge Time ✓ Max.

And manager Bruno Lage (left) insists he will not pile any extra pressure on the Mexican after he finally found his shooting boots. Jimenez had endured a frustrating spell since making his comeback from his horror head injury – with 14 wayward shots in Wolves’ first five games of the season. It was more shots without scoring than any other Premier League striker. Jimenez even threatened to ditch his protective headband after fluffing a header in the 2-0 defeat at home to Brentford. But yesterday it was 15th time lucky as he scored his first goal since October. Wolves boss Lage said: “All we have spoken about for the last two three days is Raul and his headband. We cannot put too much pressure on the players because they need to enjoy the game. We do not need to say ‘Raul you need to score goals.’ “I am happy with him because he has scored one goal and now we will talk about it for the next week.” There were plenty of empty seats at St Mary’s and those fans who stayed away will have been glad they did – two teams lacking in confidence served up a dire first half. Wolves defender Nelson Semedo (right) stung the palms of Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy with just a minute gone after being played in

That was as good as it another tame 20-yard effort from straight away when Romeu’s got before the break for the visitors, who struggled to get into any kind of attacking rhythm. In the fifth minute Saints midfielder Mohamed Elyounoussi saw his shot blocked bravely by Romain Saiss after a sloppy pass across his own 18-yard box from Max Kilman. Three minutes later, Adam Armstrong flashed a shot wide before later seeing a weak effort easily saved by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa. Home midfielder Oriol Romeu was left relieved in the 28th minute after being cheaply dispossessed by Daniel Podence – a last-ditch tackle from team-mate Mohammed Salisu spared the Spaniard’s blushes. Romeu then blazed over the crossbar from long range before Armstrong was kept out by Sa. The game sparked into life in the second half as Southampton came out with more attacking intent. Ten minutes after the re-start, teenage right-back Tino Livramento forced a smart save from Sa, who kept out the former Chelsea youngster’s low shot with his legs. Elyounoussi then saw his 20-yard effort beaten away by Sa before Jimenez broke the deadlock in the 61st minute. Sa became the first Wolves keeper since Wayne Hennessey in 2009 to claim a Premier League assist by picking out Jimenez with a long punt upfield. The striker outmuscled Jan Bednarek and rode a Salisu tackle before slotting coolly past McCarthy. Southampton almost hit back brilliant 40-yard throughball sent Che Adams clear on goal but the Scotland striker could not find a way past keeper Sa. James Ward-Prowse also called Sa into action with an ambitious 30-yard freekick.

4 DAILY MIrror 27.09.2021 mirror.co.uk/sport/football DM1ST CITY MAY HAVE crystal palace v Brighton Selhurst Park: KO 8pm potter has pat top of the bosses By PAUL BROWN GRAHAM POTTER says former Invincible Patrick Vieira could become an even better manager than he was a player. And the Brighton boss reckons football needs more legendary ex-pros like the Frenchman moving into management. The Seagulls face Vieira’s Crystal Palace with Potter’s team set to go top of the league with a win. But he is convinced that in the long term, his opposite number can have an even more successful career in the dugout than he had on the pitch. Potter said: “There’s nothing stopping him. It’s just a process. “you have good days and bad days. It’s how you deal with them – keep going., keep improving. “But Patrick has shown those characteristics all his career. I’ve no doubt he’s going to be a fantastic coach.” Potter claims big-name players like the former Arsenal icon, and Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard who is now Rangers boss, deserve credit for taking the leap. Potter said: “They have the potential to be fantastic coaches and credit to them – they are putting themselves there to be shot at or to fail.” Vieira (above) wants Odsonne Edouard to learn from the example set by Brighton’s Neal Maupay as he makes his way in the Premier League. He added: “I think Maupay’s experience in the last couple of years shows his determination and he is getting all the reward from the hard work that he has been doing. “Moving to a different country, and the Premier League, Odsonne needs time to adapt. but we will take our time to make him feel comfortable in the club.” CrySTAl PAlACE: Guaita, Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell, McArthur, Kouyate, Gallagher, Ayew, Benteke, Zaha.

City were open to selling the Portuguese playmaker in the summer. It’s a good job they had second thoughts. As Chelsea’s unbeaten record was dismantled at Stamford Bridge, Silva was everywhere – and curbing his energy was like trying to catch a mosquito with chopsticks. When City’s latest Champions League crusade is put to the test in the French capital, Paris Saint-Germain royalty Lionel Messi – who remains an injury doubt – will not be the only one calling the tune on the jukebox. Etihad messiah Pep Guardiola appreciated Silva’s contribution at Chelsea even more because he was not playing in his favourite position. Guardiola said: “He’s so intuitive – it’s not his role as a holding midfielder but he knows exactly how to play it and how to anticipate what is going to happen, with or without the ball. “All I want is for Bernardo to be happy, here or anywhere because he’s a guy that deserves the best. “Against Norwich and Arsenal he played exceptional, against Southampton he played at the level of the team – that was not good. “But how well he played against Chelsea is no surprise. How many times have we seen it? He was an incredible signing for us because he’s an exceptional person. “I never forget the second Premier League we won, with 98 points, he was the best player in England. He was nominated for an award but he was the best. “After that season, later he dropped a little bit, he was not in the position he prefers but now he’s back and hopefully he can help us. “If, at the end, he wants to leave the only thing I can say is the guy or the club that gets Bernardo is going to take one of the best players in the world. “Is he happier? You cannot play in this way if you are not happy, it’s impossible.” While City head for the Eiffel Tower, Chelsea were a dreary shower. Head coach Thomas Tuchel has only himself to blame for a damaging first defeat of the season which leaves the top four in a concertina separated by a single point. Champions of Europe? You’re having a laugh – until they fell behind, Tuchel’s side were passive, timid and they didn’t manage a shot on target. Chelsea were effectively playing with nine men because Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were so detached from the rest they might as well have been on a desert island.

The frontman took his goals tally to six in six games in all competitions to keep the Hammers in touch with the leading pack. A thrilling game saw Leeds take the lead through a superb low strike from 18 yards by Raphinha (celebrating right) in the 19th minute. The winger had another ant and decked Michail Antonio scores the winner (above) after Firpo’s own goal levelled it up brilliant effort bounce back off a post but Jarrod Bowen’s run and shot forced Junior Firpo into a 67th-minute own goal and Antonio finished in deadly fashion in the final minute. A counter-attack led by captain Declan Rice culminated in Antonio producing a deft touch to outfox Jamie Shackleton before rifling past the outstanding Illan Meslier. Hammers fans poured onto the Elland Road pitch in celebration and an emotional A n t o n i o beamed: “It was never in doubt to be fair. “When it opened for me after I knocked the ball past their player, I was one on one with Meslier and had the whole goal to pick from. “I always believed I would score, especially with the form I’m in now, and I would say it’s up there with one of my best goals. “That’s six in six so let’s keep g o i n g a n d l e t ’ s keep scoring. I definitely want to see my name at the top of the scoring charts – but hopefully at the end of the season.” Antonio was in the thick of things all afternoon and incurred the wrath of the home crowd following Tomas Soucek’s disallowed goal early in the second half. The Jamaica international caught Meslier in the face with an arm (right) before the ball dropped loose to Soucek to fire home. Referee Kevin Friend checked the pitchside monitor, which confirmed Antonio had fouled Leeds’ rookie keeper. But angry Leeds supporters felt Antonio should have been sent off for the challenge. He escaped with a booking instead and grabbed the winner in the closing stages. The 31-year-old added with a huge smile: “It was unbelievable. “There is nothing better than coming back from 1-0 down, especially against a quality team like Leeds because the way they play is completely different. “It’s a game that’s always going to be enjoyable for the neutral. “Playing against Leeds is like running a marathon – that’s exactly how I see it. “I would never run a marathon and that’s the closest thing to it for me! “It was so hard because Leeds play man to man and you’ve got to keep working right to the end because

They have now failed to win any of their first six games of a top-flight campaign for only the second time in the club’s history. Raphinha departed midway through the second half but Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa insisted: “It’s not that he came off injured. “He picked up a knock against Newcastle which prevented him training all week but he resolved that and he could play the game. Then he advised us to substitute him.” WOW FACTOR By ross heppenstaLL CHARLIE CRESSWELL made his Premier League debut for Leeds after Marcelo Bielsa waited until just before kick-off to tell him he was playing. The 19-year-old partnered captain Liam Cooper in the heart of defence and underlined his promise with a fine display. The son of former Leeds and Sheffield United striker Richard Cresswell was given his chance due to injuries and suspension. Asked when he knew he would be playing, the teenager said: “About five minutes before the warm-up I got told I was starting. “I was like, ‘Wow!’ So I went into the starting dressing room and had to switch my game head on. The manager just wanted me to go out there and do my thing because that’s what got me in this position. “It was overwhelming, but I need to calm down now, watch the game back and see how I did. But I think I did quite well.” Pressure is mounting on Leeds to find their first win of the season and Saturday’s visit of Watford has taken on added importance. Cresswell (above), who is captain of Leeds Under-23s, added: “We’ve just got to stick together and work as hard as we can. “Hopefully we can get a result soon – very soon.” michail finish ‘magic’ DAVID MOYES watched Michail Antonio’s brilliant late winner and then insisted: “I’ve seen him play better.” The striker expertly finished off a counter-attack by firing the ball past Illan Meslier for his fifth Premier League goal of the season.

Hornets fans reckoned it was more like Aussie Rules however and blamed referee Jarred Gillett. The Premier League’s first imported ref certainly had a debut to remember on a day when both sides seemed keen to set records for chances missed and fouls committed. Both had to be satisfied with a point, which left Newcastle still winless but now out of the bottom three, and Watford, to use a Steve Bruce phrase, ticking along in mid table. Sean Longstaff found the top corner to put Toon ahead in the 23rd minute and the visitors spurned a series of opportunities to extend the lead. Watford levelled in the 72nd minute when King flicked on Danny Rose’s corner for Ismaila Sarr to head home at the back post (below). King thought he had won it in the 88th minute on the rebound from Karl Darlow’s save but VAR confirmed the striker, plus two team-mates, were offside. King, a summer freebie signing, said: “Three of us were offside, even if I wasn’t they probably still wouldn’t have given it as they were blocking the keeper’s view. “I’ve never had VAR on my side but it was offside. A point is fair and might be crucial in the end. It felt like a basketball game.” The Norway striker is still searching for a first league goal since July 2020 having failed to score any last season for Bournemouth or Everton. At least he is providing assists and mainly for Sarr. The Senegal speedster has four of Watford’s seven Premier League goals so far. “I was meant to block a player at the front post but I saw the ball coming towards me so I tried to get a flick on,” said King of the goal that did stand. “I’ve a good connect with Sarr - I’ve given him three now in two games.” Newcastle boss Bruce was left to rue all those missed chances, toon scorer sean is longing to be more prolific By Jon West SEAN LONGSTAFF knows he has to up his scoring rate after netting for only the third time since 2019. He was on target midway through the first half to end a goal drought for the Newcastle midfielder dating back to July last year. Longstaff had already gone close twice from range and ended the first 45 minutes by missing an open goal after Allan Saint-Maximin seized on Craig Cathcart’s under-hit backpass. He admitted: “I could have had a hat-trick if one of the volleys went in at the start and then when we broke away. I was stretching for it a little bit. I have to be a bit more composed in that situation. I know I have it in my locker.” The one that did go in was certainly worth waiting for, Longstaff launching a curler from the left of the box into the top corner. Watford keeper Ben Foster got his hands to the ball but could not keep it out. Longstaff said: “I’ve kicked a few over the bar in the last few weeks so people will be saying, ‘Thank goodness for that’ but it’s great to see one finally hit the net.” DM1ST the worst of which came right at the end. Allan Saint-Maximin sent Jacob Murphy sprinting clear but the substitute’s attempt at a dink over goalkeeper Ben Foster was poor to say the least. Newcastle could have won by four or five – Longstaff scooped over an empty goal at the end of the first half – and Watford manager Xisco Munoz admitted his side had been fortunate. Hornets fans vented their fury though on Gillett, an Australian who became the Premier League’s first referee from outside Britain and Ireland. Not that the A-League star official, elevated after two years in the Championship, actually cost their side – the VAR decision was spot on and was not even his. It was true that the rookie, who booked seven players, made quite a few errors but Watford benefited from as many as Newcastle. Juraj Kucka should have been booked either for elbowing Miguel Almiron in the throat or going in late on Longstaff and no card was shown to Tom Cleverley either for two cynical assaults on the goalscorer. But Watford fans failed to forgive Gillett when Darlow clattered Cleverley, who had to be concussion-subbed at half-time, although VAR failed to indicate it should have been a penalty.

Burnley twice led at the King Power Stadium and appeared to be in no rush once in front. That infuriated home skipper Kasper Schmeichel and the Foxes fans, until Jamie Vardy’s 85th-minute equaliser. But Clarets midfielder Brownhill (above) said: “Whoever is winning, you are not going to want to speed things up. It’s about seeing the game out. “We are not going to get the ball back in there and boot it up the pitch straight away because they have some quality. “We are going to calm the game down and try to take it at our pace. “If it was the other way around, perhaps they would do the same. “We didn’t do too badly, otherwise the referee would have booked more players or the goalkeeper.” The Clarets, who nevertheless had four players cautioned, now host bottom club Norwich on Saturday with both sides looking to get their first win this term. Brownhill added: “It is going to be massive. Both of us have not got a win this season and for us we are definitely hungry to get that win. “We are at home where we have had some good performances. Hopefully when we play against Norwich it is going to be three points for us.” But despite Burnley’s slow start, Brownhill refuses to panic. He said: “I don’t think there is anything to worry about. “We have been in the Premier League for many seasons now and always got through spells of not winning or not picking up some points. “We always come good. We are not very far away from a win.” DON’T GET MADD, GET EVEN Not happy, but James gets back in the fray and Vardy’s equaliser shows reward for determination leicester 2 Vardy 37, 85 burnley 2 Vardy 12 og, Cornet 40 By James nUrsey WHEN James Maddison’s star was on the rise, his dazzling broad smile stood out nearly as much as his precious ability. There were few signs of either when Maddison was dropped to the bench for Burnley’s visit. He was the only casualty from Leicester’s previous Premier League defeat at Brighton, when he was subbed at half-time. Boss Brendan Rodgers admits the usually extrovert character is low on confidence after failing to get a goal or an assist this term. But when Leicester trailed 2-1 to the Clarets with the game into the closing stages, Rodgers threw him on 12 minutes from time (below) in the hope of some of his trademark creativity. Maddison buzzed around but it was fellow substitute Kelechi Iheanacho who set Jamie Vardy free to deservedly level late on. Rodgers admits it is a work in progress trying to get Maddison firing again but insists he still believes in the star, who was courted by Arsenal this summer. Rodgers said: “He didn’t have a long time on the field but we wanted him on as we had them penned in. We wanted to have players who are good in tight spaces. “In my time here James has had many good performances when the game’s been tight. You can’t doubt this guy’s ability. “He’s maybe not at the level he wants to be at but you have to respect his talent and his quality. “He may be just a bit short of confidence at the moment but he’s still a big talent for this club, never doubt that. “You can bring him into a game and he can create something out of nothing. He combined well and he’s always a threat in and around the box. He’s a player I trust.” Maddison is yet to rediscover his best Foxes form but Vardy remains a reliable talisman. The veteran striker recovered from the shock of heading into his own net defending a corner after just foxy finiSh Jamie Vardy has the final word with a late Leicester equaliser 12 minutes to equalise with a trademark finish (above). Maxwel Cornet restored the visitors’ lead with a fine volley but Vardy levelled five minutes from time as he mocked the away fans who had earlier sung derogatory chants about his wife. Rodgers added: “When you score the goals he does on a regular basis it will always invite a little bit of stick in the game. “But it is water off a duck’s back. He is always out every game to prove a point and you saw he was exceptional.” Burnley thought they had won it when Chris Wood headed a stoppage-time effort but VAR ruled it out for offside. Former Leicester striker Wood said: “Coming to this place it’s not bad to score two and nearly nick it at the end, but the manner in which we dropped the points is a bit of a kick in the teeth.” sTATs yOuR LOT...

10 FOUR THINGS WE LEARNED FROm... matchday 6 ton of Pain is so krUl for canaries’ tim NOrWICh keeper Tim Krul joined an exclusive club on saturday – not that he will be flashing his membership card around. A 2-0 loss at everton meant more misery for Daniel Farke’s Canaries who are still searching for their first point of the season. But for Krul, the result brought up a century of defeats for the shot-stopper on his 199th Premier League appearance, as Andros Townsend, from the spot, and Abdoulaye Doucoure scored everton’s goals at Goodison Park. The outcome ensured Krul became only the fourth player to suffer 100 defeats in fewer than 200 games in the competition after forward steven Fletcher (185), defender Paul robinson (192) and forward Matthew Jarvis (193). Charlie Cresswell was given the backing of boss Marcelo Bielsa when he was handed a starting spot against west ham. The centre-back, 19, became the first teenager to appear in a Premier league game for leeds since James Milner (18y & 132d) and scott Carson (18y & 255d) against Chelsea in May 2004. vardy saves face... two right he does There’s never been any doubt that Jamie Vardy has an eye for goal. The problem on saturday was that he had an eye for both goals. Vardy (above) headed the first own-goal of his career to put Burnley in front before two superb finishes from the Leicester striker forced a 2-2 draw. That meant the former england man could claim a niche spot in the record books. Vardy is just the fifth player in Premier League history to score an own-goal and 2+ goals in the same game – after John Barnes (Liverpool v spurs 1995), Niall Quinn (sunderland v Charlton 2001), Wayne rooney (Man Utd v stoke 2012) and Tammy Abraham (Chelsea v Wolves 2019). iT took an ismaila sarr equaliser to clinch a point for watford against Newcastle, but it was always likely that Xisco Munoz’s side would get something against the Toon. a draw meant the hornets have won 20 Prem points against Newcastle, more than they have managed against any other side in the competition (w5 D5 l3). DAILY MIrror 27.09.2021 mirror.co.uk/sport/football BY TONY BANKS PONTUs JANssON was fuming. he was angry. he was steaming. “Stay cool,” the veteran yelled at his young Brentford team-mates. “We’re only 3-2 down. Let’s stay in it, not charge forward and give Liverpool more chances.” Did they listen? Did they heck. They belted forward again in this brilliant, barmy game, as Mo Salah missed a sitter and goalkeeper David Raya pulled off another great save. Then they equalised, and saw Ivan Toney have what would have been the winner ruled out.

We feel we are good enough to compete at this level, but if we don’t do our jobs 100 percent, it will be hard.” Talk about end-to-end stuff, this game had it all. Kristoffer Ajer cleared off the line from Salah early on, then Joel Matip did the same for Liverpool to deny Bryan Mbeumo. A clever freekick then resulted in Ethan Pinnock putting the Bees ahead. That lead lasted only four minutes before Diogo Jota nodded Liverpool level. Raya pulled off his first extraordinary save to deny Jota and just after half time did it again, foiling the same player. Salah notched his 100th league goal for Liverpool, VAR ruling him onside as he raced through. The Bees fought back and Vitaly Janelt nodded home but then a Curtis Jones shot took a deflection to give Raya no chance and make it 3-2. Salah missed his sitter, Bees sub Yoane Wissa stabbed in the equaliser and there was still time for Raya to pull off another great save and for Virgil van Dijk’s superb tackle to deny Toney.

You could say it’s almost a new lease of life. The standing ovation recognising his workrate and sheer commitment from Everton fans showed just how much of an impact Townsend has made at his new club. His first-half penalty turned this contest with Norwich, and took his goals tally to four already this season. But it is the energy he brings, and a palpable love of his work which the Goodison faithful appreciate. They even booed when he was substituted – playing for Rafa Benitez clearly suits him. Townsend said: “I’m 30 now and that’s when he plays for Benitez classed as old but, honestly, I during the 2018-19 season with feel like I’m 21 at the moment.

The Everton He is remembered for his boss remembered spectacular goals – that his dynamic contri- incredible volley at Manchester City one of many highlights. But by his own admission, he hasn’t scored enough in his career given his technical excellence with both feet. There were only 28 league goals in a 12-year career before he arrived at Everton, his best in the Premier League just six bution, and asked him to repeat it. Already, he has repaid the manager and shown he can still be a force into the bargain. Townsend explained: “I knew what I was capable of at Everton, and knew I wasn’t coming here just to make up the numbers. “I know I have got a lot more left in me to give and I saw this as a real opportunity to show what I still have in the tank. “It’s true, I haven’t scored as many as I would have liked in my career. No excuses. I’ve been wracki n g my brain the last six or seven years in the Premier League over why I’ve not been able to score more goals as frequently as my ability allows. “I’m under a manager now who knows my abilities, who has seen that I can deliver goals – and I think I do have that in me. “Left foot, right foot, I can shoot, I can get in the box and I can create chances. “Rafa knew I could play higher, he knew I could deliver around the box, and fortunately I have picked up where I left off under him in those few months at Newcastle.” Norwich desperately needed someone as direct as Townsend, as willing to run the flank and cause problems. Without that, they were always vulnerable to the break which saw Abdoulaye Doucoure (left) seal their seemingly inevitable defeat. DM1ST oUt on the town The former England winger celebrates as he continued his great start for Everton no conquest yet but normann still predicts survival By david MaddoCk As stAts go, they couldn’t be more depressing. Norwich have lost 44 of their last 45 top-flight games in which they have conceded first. they have now also set a new all-time top-flight record of 16 consecutive defeats under the same manager. they are the only team in the four English divisions yet to take a point this season. yet the mood after a depressing defeat at Everton, where Daniel Farke’s side looked incapable of creating from open play, was a defiant one. Mathias Normann was perhaps Norwich’s most dangerous player, his shooting from distance forcing two good saves from Jordan Pickford. And he still believes they can stay up, even if the football world has already condemned them to Premier League relegation. “I think we played well, it’s just the small margins in football,” he said. “I believe if we keep working like we do, we will turn this around. OK, we lost 2-0, but it wasn’t a 2-0 game. We were a little bit unlucky and, in my opinion, we performed well.” Normann (left) may have a point. the penalty which turned the game was unfortunate. Everton midfielder Allan was caught but only after the ball was long gone. “It looked like he fell down before the touch,” said Normann. “If you saw Ronaldo last week, he did the same and didn’t get a penalty.” STATS yOUR LOT...

Such is lavery’s hunger to strike and desire to close down defenders, it’s no wonder he’s bagged six goals this season. And team-mate mitchell said of the 22-year-old Northern ireland international: “he’s a nuisance. “you see Shayne closing down all the time, i don’t know how he does it. it’s like watching carlos tevez!” lavery won it for the Seasiders (above) and mitchell purred: “it was a great finish. Keshi Anderson slipped Shayne in and it was a 10 out of 10 finish. “At the back we looked assured and getting forward we created chances. Defensively, all the lads worked really hard for each other and put in a shift. “the pressing from everybody was good, we’re looking very solid.” Former manchester United prospect mitchell got his first taste of action against Barnsley on his return from injury. And having been a mainstay of the team which toasted a memorable promotion to the championship last season, it’s little wonder he wants to cement a regular starting role to test himself in the second tier. “it’s good to have challenges for places and competition because it pushes each player to do more and fight for their place in the team,” said mitchell. “that’s very important. “it’s a healthy squad, all the lads are great together and the chemistry is good.” had it not been for a string of fine saves from busy tykes keeper Brad collins, Blackpool might have won by a hatful – although michal helik and cauley Woodrow went close to a late equaliser. “it’s all about competing at this level – and a couple of guys need to be ready to fight for 90 minutes,” admitted frustrated Barnsley boss markus Schopp.

The wing-back played a key role in an unfamiliar central-defensive position as the Swans secured their first home win this term against Huddersfield. And Manning, who went viral last week after being booted in the air by Luton’s Henri Lansbury, believes the only way is up for the Welsh side under Russell Martin. “I’ve never played centre back,” he said. “I’ve played a lot of places, but now I think keeper is the next one I have to tick off ! “As a central defender you’re going to have to put your head in places and get the ball clear. “You can’t always be playing football, but we’re defending well as a unit.

This time they found the breakthrough after 17 minutes when Joel Piroe netted his sixth goal of the campaign.

The Rams went into administration on Wednesday, triggering a 12-point deduction and face a possible further ninepoint penalty for breaching EFL financial regulations. Rooney (right) has pledged to keep fighting with the club 10 points from safety and Scottish midfielder Shinnie also vowing to battle on. He said: “Wayne has said he’s here to fight with us and he won’t leave us on our own. “The team on the pitch are fighting for the fans and for the club. We are all fighting for each other, for the people at the stadium and at the training ground, and all the academy staff at the club. “As players, all we can do is keep our focus, giving our all and fighting – and that’s what we’ll do. “Everyone is fighting because they love this club and everyone is fighting to get this club through this period. “We are hopeful that we can get through it.” Derby went tumbling from mid-table to bottom on minus two points and were denied a precious draw at Sheffield United. They were on the brink of claiming a result until Billy Sharp scored a late penalty following a Curtis Davies handling offence. Rooney’s men played with 10 men for more than half an hour after keeper Kelle Roos was given a straight red card for fouling Sharp after charging out of his area. They almost clinched a point deep into stoppagetime only for Tom Lawrence’s shot to come back off a post and straight to a Blades player.

United travel to Middlesbrough and former boss Neil Warnock tomorrow before a trip to topof-the-table Bournemouth. Jokanovic said: “We are progressing, it’s simple. We need to change the mentality, the competitiveness. “It’s a need for different tactics. “We need to be aggressive and always look to be in the game. “You can’t use this plan against Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea but we must accept what we are, what our targets are and modify the way we want to play.” OxfOrd 1 Taylor 5 GiLLiNGhAm 0 MacDonald 30 ALEX MacDONALD admits Gillingham must shake their stalemate habit after a fifth draw in nine games.

The veteran coach raged at Peter Bankes and his assistants following the red card shown to Matt Crooks late on in the defeat at Reading. Crooks may have been unlucky to be sent off with the ball arguably there to be won in a challenge with young Royals goalkeeper Luke Southwood. But a raging Warnock insisted that this was no isolated incident, but a trend that only involvement from people who have played professional football can reverse. Delivering his damning verdict on the standard of officiating in the Championship, he said: “It is the worst group of referees that I have ever seen in the 42 years I have been managing. “It was never a sending-off in a million years. It shows when referees have never played the game, they don’t understand those things. “The reason? I think it’s education.

You look at Mike Riley and people like that, they’ve never played the game. “So they’re teaching things they think are right but which have never been right in his career. “We’ve been asking for ex-pros as referees for donkey’s years. It’s difficult to get through the hierarchy of the Referee’s Association for anybody. It’s something that I don’t think will change at the moment.” Despite initiatives, the number of ex-players becoming referees remains a trickle for reasons that include pay, punditry options, age and not officiating in games involving former clubs. But officials body the PGMOL insist managers and players are involved in the assessment of decisions and training of officials in the Premier League, EFL and Women’s Super League. Meanwhile, Reading continue to make light of their own problems – with 10 players missing and the threat of a points deduction looming. Croatian Alen Halilovic delivered the Royals a third straight win with his first goal for the club. But the 25-year-old, after delivering his own ‘three-pointer’, admitted: “I am bigger fan of basketball. I like to watch football, but if I have to choose I pick basketball.”

The ex-Celtic midfielder inspired the Cherries to a table-topping win over Luton with two brilliant assists before revealing how much he is relishing his new surroundings. Christie, branded “lazy” by Celtic legend Frank McAvennie when leaving Glasgow, said: “I love it – first and foremost the weather. I’ve been wondering what that big yellow thing in the sky is. “I’ve spent years playing for Celtic. There’s so much media hype up there and everybody’s got a say on every little thing. Here, there’s a lot less noise, which is nice. I learned a long time ago to stop reading the newspapers. “I wanted to change my surroundings and try something different. I was desperate to show some ambition and try something new in my career.” Christie is still awaiting his first goal but has already forged a promising partnership with former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke, who profited from Christie’s pinpoint cross for Bournemouth’s second. Christie said: “It only took me 10 minutes with Dom to realise how good a player he is. He’s so tidy and a good finisher on the ball but there are a lot of things that go under the radar, like how strong he is and how hard he works.” Christie’s family remain in Inverness but he paid tribute to girlfriend Georgie for uprooting her life to support him. He said: “She’s been so supportive, at the drop of a hat she’ll move her whole world with me.” The 26-year-old now can’t wait to open his Bournemouth account. “We play an attractive style of football and that’s one of the reasons I was desperate to come here. I’m chomping at the bit to get my first goal,” he said. After goals from Solanke and Philip Billing, Luton pulled one back through Reece Burke and then threw the kitchen sink at Bournemouth late on. At one point, a home supporter refused to return the ball to the pitch, prompting Luton manager Nathan Jones to label him a “clown.” Midfielder Jordan Clark said: “He’s like it in training too – it’s infectious. He wants the best for us. He’s very animated. “He brings in humble lads who want to come in, work hard for the club and give 100 percent.” MATCH sTATs 60% possession 40% 2 shots on target 3 2 shots off target 6 4 corners 7 0 offside 3 12 fouls 9 0 2 cards 0 0 Ref: Tim Robinson att: 9,737 LEAGUE TWO crAWLEy 2 Ferry 39, Tsaroulla 73 brAdfOrd 1 Cooke 81 CRAWLEY left-back Nick Tsaroulla struck his second goal of the season - but wanted the focus to be on his defensive efforts.

Wing-back Lowe’s cross sailed over keeper Bartosz Bialkowski from 25 yards to cancel out Matt Smith’s opener for Millwall (right). Lowe said: “I thought their keeper felt it was going over but I knew as soon as I hit it that it had a chance of going in so it was more relief than anything that we had scored. “It felt like one of those days when we wouldn’t find the back of the net. It’s the second time I have done that, too!” Manager Cooper took charge of Forest last week following the sacking of Chris Hughton. He made changes to personnel and formation, and Lowe has been impressed by what he has seen so far. Lowe, on loan from Sheffield United, added: “The gaffer has come in and made us feel confident to play out from the back. I think it suits us all round. “The first thing he said to us was that he saw quality and he wanted to give us freedom and confidence. “It’s a new style of play and we are going to get better. The formation will suit us and I think we are a little more exciting going forward now.” This point was Forest’s first at home this season and the fans are fully behind the Cooper project.

20 DAILY MIrror 27.09.2021 mirror.co.uk/sport/football WHAT? OFFSIDE? I CAN’T HEAR YOU! BRisToL CiTy 1 Palmer 79 fuLhaM 1 Mitrovic 50 By rIchard LaTham Kasey Palmer admitted his first thought was to check for a flag after netting Bristol City’s controversial late equaliser. Fulham boss Marco Silva fumed that the midfielder was “more than a metre offside” when finding the roof of the net from a narrow angle just three minutes after arriving as a sub. Palmer did look to be in front of Fulham’s last defender as he moved onto the rebound created by Paulo Gazzaniga’s brilliant save from Chris Martin. With a mischievous grin, Palmer conceded: “I looked across at the linesman as the ball went in, but the flag wasn’t up so I celebrated. “The first thing a few of their players said to me at the end of the game was that I was offside. “But it’s a goal – it counts, and I’ll take it.” It was a big moment personally for Palmer, who has struggled to command a regular first-team place since Nigel Pearson became City manager. He said: “Having worked with the gaffer for quite a while now, I know more what he demands of me off the ball. “I am working to MatCH stats 36% possessIon 64% 5 shoTs on TargeT 5 4 shoTs off TargeT 13 3 corners 7 4 offsIde 2 7 fouLs 11 0 1 cards 3 0 Ref: Simon Hooper Att: 19,326 show him that I can do the defensive side. We talk a lot, both expressing our opinions, and the relationship is good.” It was a mixed game for Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic, who headed them in front at the start of the second half but then missed a hatful of chances after Palmer had levelled. Twice denied by the woodwork, as was team-mate Jean Michael Seri, the striker also fired wide in the dying seconds from two opportunities he would normally gobble up. Numerous other chances went begging for Fulham, leading Silva to admit: “We have to be calmer o’neiLL: poTTeRs’ hoMe foRM is a BRiT speCiaL Vrancic and nick Powell Michael o’neill said: “Home before smashing his shot Stoke city 2 (right) ensured the Potters form is everything.

Fine goals by Mario place in the Championship – four points behind the leaders Bournemouth. nine home defeats in each of the last two seasons wrecked their promotion hopes and boss “We’ve got to continue with that. It gives us the platform to maintain our position in the league and hopefully improve it. We’re in a nice position.” Vrancic beat two players minute to seal the points. Hull chief grant McCann said: “our build-up play is fine, but football matches are won in both penalty boxes and we are not doing that well enough.” DM1ST BLock it out Palmer refuses to listen to the cries of offside from the Fulham fans Fulham furious but Palmer loving his equaliser with our finishing. We failed to kill the game off and paid for that when the linesman gave them a goal. “It wasn’t a difficult decision. I could see their player was offside from the bench – but that’s football.” Pearson is still waiting for his first win at Ashton Gate as City boss. The Robins have gone 15 games without a home win – an unwanted club record run stretching back to January. He said: “That frustration goes on, but unlike last season we are now putting ourselves in positions to win games here. “Fulham had chances, but so did we. There was a tenacity about our play against very good opponents and we are now five games unbeaten, which is encouraging.” SCOTLAND hoops hopes fading By Ian WInroW CELTIC lost more ground on Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers after being held to a 1-1 home draw by DunDEE unITED.
