The number receiving treatment for anorexia or bulimia has nearly doubled since 2016, say NHS figures. Lockdowns plus the rise of social media problems have been blamed for the spike.

Jeffrey DeMarco, of Victim Support, said: “We must remember that not all victims can engage with digital platforms, particularly those who can’t access the internet or have limited language skills. “Face-to-face contact with the police remains important to many victims who need help, advice and reassurance.” Other forces to have signed up so far include Staffordshire, Cumbria, Bedfordshire, West Midlands, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.

ICIER THAn ICELAND BRITAIN is colder than Iceland today and the polar blitz is set to bring more snow later this week. And the run-up to Christmas is expected to be even chillier. Temperatures in the snowy North are forecast to be lower than the -2C seen in Reykjavik after Storm Arwen wreaked havoc.

Many parts of the country fell below freezing overnight, with Shap in Cumbria hitting a teethchattering -6.4C (20.5F). And more snow and sub-zero daytime temperatures are set to hit by Thursday, when forecasters are warning of the “coldest night of the season”. Temperatures could drop as low as -10C. The Met Office also issued two yellow ice warnings – across eastern parts of Scotland and England down to the south coast – from Sunday afternoon. The warnings, set to last until Monday morning, say people should expect to see “icy patches” on roads and pavements. The forecast comes as another colder spell was predicted to strike before Christmas. John Hammond of weathertrending said: “A chillier and drier trend is favoured after December 13 as Christmas approaches.” Bookies William Hill cut the odds of a white Christmas to 4-1 in Birmingham and 6-1 in London.

SCORES of Storm Arwen-stricken boozers have been holed up for a third night at Britain’s highest pub.

Nicola added: “There’s no kids here and the average age would be in the 50s. There’s been no drunkenness or fights or anything like that – everyone’s been in good spirits. “Guests have been helping out with the dishes, and we’ve had a pub quiz to keep everyone entertained. People have been sleeping on the floors and all sorts, so everyone is being kept warm and well fed.” Most of the revellers have set up camp in the pub’s lounge, along with Noasis – who the manager called “lovely guys”. Nicola said it was only the second snow-in at the 17th Century pub – with the last hitting in 2010. Partygoers were stuck there for three nights from New Year’s Eve. news@dailystar.co.uk HANDY BREAK: Holed up DAILY STAR, Monday, November 29, 2021 5 ‘HATERS’: The actress Racism class on shy duo A PUBLICITY-SHY man and his wife are being used to teach primary school kids about racism. Children as young as nine are being asked by teachers if the woman would have as many “haters” if she was white. Year Five pupils at Birchfields Primary School in Fallowfield, Manchester, were taught race, family and propaganda by discussing whether the “bad media” had led the pair to quit the royal family. Worksheets posted by teachers on social media showed pupils sharing conclusions including “people think that the Royal family have been racist” to the actress. They also stated the mum-of-two was “treated differently” because one member of The Firm had “asked her if her child will be black or white”. Campaigners have accused the exercise of being “incredibly one-sided” and “very partisan”. Dr Alka Sehgal-Cuthbert, of campaign group Don’t Divide Us, said: “It is inculcating a set of cultural values in a way that is very close to indoctrination.” STAR A child’s gender can be identified by just the sound of their voice from the age of five and well before physical changes in puberty, say US scientists.

6 DAILY STAR, Monday, November 29, 2021 Says ET? Let’s have truth AT LAST. We may finally solve the mystery of whether there are aliens. The US government has set up a special UFO task force to do exactly that. The Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group might not roll off the tongue. But it is a sign that they are finally taking unexplained sightings of mysterious objects seriously. It’s long overdue. The evidence has been stacking up for years. More and more of us seem to have a tale of a close encounter to tell. What’s more, 144 unidentified flying objects have been spotted by armed forces personnel since 2004. Yet only one has been identified. Is it really possible that not a single one of the other 143 is genuine? We need answers. We hope this new task force takes a proper look at the evidence – and is up front with its findings. That way, just maybe we will find out if we are alone or not. Evidently, it’s crazy WE’VE heard it all now. Police want victims of crime to collect their own evidence and send it in. What’s next? Arresting the culprits ourselves and interviewing them? We know our police forces are overstretched and drowning in paperwork. But going out to see victims of crime in person is not too much to ask. Otherwise, what are we paying them to do? Isn’t collecting CCTV footage and so on a specialised job? Expecting elderly and vulnerable people to turn detective is not right. Some people can’t access the internet or have limited language skills. Face-to-face contact is vital, otherwise it leaves people feeling like our police just don’t care. Twelve of our forces have signed up to the Axon Citizen computer program. The Met reckons it will save the equivalent of 27,000 working days a year. Let’s hope at the very least they use this time to get bobbies back on the beat. And help slash our out-of-control crime rates.

FRENCH ARE SO CRAFTY Dinghies sold to smugglers ■■ by jerry lawton Chief Crime Correspondent FRANCE sold off at least seven confiscated boats on the day 27 migrants drowned trying to cross the Channel. Among the vessels was one almost identical to the 30ft inflatable dinghy that sank near Calais on Wednesday. The seven vessels between 21ft and 27ft in length fetched between £135 and £270 each that day. Critics say the boats could end up back in the hands of FOR SALE: Inflatable craft people-traffickers. One Breton boat-owner said: “This type of inflatable boat is not of the kind used by pleasure craft owners. “Who is selling them? What is there to stop them being sold to people-smugglers?’’ They had all been recovered at sea by lifeboats, coastguards or the French Navy. Their sale was approved by France’s Maritime Affairs department. Six of the longboats were black but the seventh – Lot 168 on online site Interencheres – was grey and similar to the craft in which the migrants perished.

Pictures: TRACY GOREE/CATERS NEWS Uni alert to snowflakes UNIVERSITY boffins have issued a warning to students that Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel Kidnapped contains depictions of abduction. Though the title of the 19th Century tale alerts readers to the book’s contents, it was not enough for sensitive souls at the University of Aberdeen. They insisted on adding that it “contains depictions of murder, death, family betrayal and kidnapping”. The same uni told students Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar – written more than 400 years ago and set in 44BC – features “sexist attitudes” and has a plot that “centres on a murder”. The uni advised lecturers that students expressed “a strong preference” for warnings on potentially “distressing” and “emotionally challenging” novels, plays and poems.

The trio scored hits Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Rollover DJ, enjoying three Top Five albums before their most recent tour in 2018. Nic told me: “I’d never totally dismiss Jet coming back and I’m very proud of a lot of what we achieved. “But I don’t feel bands need to stay together forever. “A lot of bands capture lightning in a bottle, then hang on way too long after that moment has passed.” Nic releases new solo album The Skipping Girl on Friday, which also combines a children’s book of the same name that the singer wrote for his three-yearold daughter Mathilda. It was inspired by a neon statue in Nic’s hometown, Melbourne. Nic explained: “The statue was bright and shiny on the surface, and I thought, ‘Man, that’s like me.’ “In the night, I’d go out and have a very superficial existence, with a lot of parties. “Everything was supposed to be going really well, but I felt trapped, unhappy with how I was presenting myself and the way things were going. “The statue of a girl skipping forever without getting anywhere felt like a symbol of how I was.” SHAKIRA is turning up the heat and whipping ★ fans into a frenzy.

ROYAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION James Innes, best-selling careers author and founder of The CV Centre, solves your work problems... Banking on a Xmas bonus Dear James, I love my job – I’m a motor mechanic at a busy garage – but the pay isn’t brilliant. I’m on just over £24,000 a year, which is about enough to keep me going. But every year I look forward to our Christmas bonus, which means I can afford to spend a bit more and enjoy myself over the festive period. This year, though, it’s not been mentioned. I am a bit concerned as we’re almost at Christmas now and I have already planned for it. Do I have any legal rights as it’s been an annual payment for years? Tom, 32, Lincoln James says: I must point out, first and foremost, that a bonus – at any time of the year – is just that, it’s a bonus! It is not – normally (unless of course specified in your contract of employment) – a legal entitle- HAVE empathy for your boss. In the current economic climate they may be more focused on saving your job than dishing out bonuses. SPENDING PLANS: Mechanic ment, an automatic right or a guaranteed payment. However, I see no harm in you trying to find an appropriate time to have a quick chat with your boss and asking whether a bonus will be forthcoming or not. But I would be very wary of pushing too hard because it might just permanently sour your relationship with your employer. Good luck! fight for your right? Tom does also ask whether he might have any legal rights as regards his bonus and, yes, actually, he might. “Implied terms” are terms of your contract of employment which are not actually written down in the contract. Essentially, there are certain conditions which are basically taken for granted – like your employer providing a safe place of work. But much more important – to you at least – are those terms deemed to be implied through “custom and practice” over a significant period of time – like a Christmas bonus. Up to you whether you want to threaten your employer with legal action, though. It’s not generally something I’d recommend! Got a question for James?

It’s nearly eight hours long. But if you are, I’d clear your diary, settle back and prepare to be mesmerised. It’s an absolute gem. Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson, right, has sifted through nearly 60 hours of unseen footage to take us back to January 1969, as John, Paul, George and Ringo meet up to rehearse for their first live performance in years. A tie-in album, documentary (for which this footage was originally intended) and an ambitious TV special are also planned. Little does anyone realise at first, but the TV special is never going to happen, the live thing will be hugely scaled down – and the band itself will be all but history by Christmas. For us, it’s almost like being there in that rehearsal room to witness what unfolds as the hours pass, the jams and japery slowly giving way to something more tense. There, too, are Lennon and McCartney’s fiancées, Yoko and Linda, the latter content to keep a low profile, the former less so. But the series doesn’t just document the beginning of the end for the once-Fab Four. It also lets us witness classics such as Let It Be, Get Back and The Long And Winding Road taking shape, McCartney frequently singing gibberish when the words the rest of us now know by heart have yet to form in his head. Also a treat is the trivial stuff: Yoko doing her knitting, Linda taking snaps, the band calling for more tea and toast. And though you’re witnessing a pivotal moment in rock music history, there’s a brilliant matter-offactness to it all. Yes, this is the greatest band of all time. But it’s also just four guys doing a job they once loved. That’s the trouble with guys. Once their egos kick in, things can get kind of messy.

REFFIN’ SELFIES Noel fury at footie request FOOTBALL dad Noel Gallagher gave a linesman the boot for asking him for a selfie during a kids’ match. The former Oasis rocker’s lad Sonny, 10, plays for his local team and Noel loves to cheer him on from the touchline. But he was stunned when an assistant referee asked for a photo during a game. Noel said: “My son Sonny plays for Petersfield Town under 11s, he’s pretty good. Me and him are bang into it. “A funny thing happened to me. Our game had finished and I was walking back to the car and there were loads of matches going on at various different age groups. “As I’m walking down the line this guy grabs me and goes: ‘Noel Gallagher?’ “I go: ‘Yes mate, you all right?’ He goes: ‘Can I get a picture?’ I’m like: ‘Oh, I’m with my kid.’ And he goes: STAR babies start to find things funny, such as peekaboo games, tickling and funny faces, from about a month old, say University of Bristol researchers.

Concentrate on the game. Get to f***.’” Man City fan Noel is a regular on the sidelines and hates pushy parents. The High Flying Birds frontman said: “If there’s one thing I’m uncomfortable with about kids’ football it’s the other team’s parents – not the parents from our team who are all quite chilled, it’s some of the other parents from other teams who can be a bit gobby. It’s like, a bit embarrassing. “It’s only kids kicking a football around. Some of them take it very seriously, and it’s a bit like: ‘Come on’. ” Noel’s family moved from London to Petersfield, Hants, two years ago. news@dailystar.co.uk TOUCHLINE: Rocker MP ‘willy’ row Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries is set to be probed over an alleged tweet about a councillor’s manhood.

32 DAILY STAR, Monday, November 29, 2021 JUST JANE DS1ST JANE O’GORMAN SOLVES YOUR PROBLEMS TODAY ... AND EVERY DAY Pal’s in fix with my dad I was horrified when my oldest friend announced that she was dating my widowed father. The mere thought of them in bed together turned my stomach. But I gritted my teeth and said: “OK.” At first, everything was fine. He was loving and attentive. But now he’s become distant. He keeps going out and not telling her where he’s been. I’ve had her crying on the phone and she wants me to have a word with him on her behalf. I feel as though I’m being pulled in two directions and don’t want to get involved. JANE SAYS: Your pal has to realise her love life is nothing to do with you. She and your father are fully grown adults and if she has a problem with the way he’s behaving, she has to talk to him. He has to tell her what is going on. Is he already bored with the relationship? Could he be seeing someone else? Step back while they work this out for themselves. Ultimately, she may blame or shun you for not fighting her corner. But you must tell her that, much as you like her, you’re not prepared to put your relationship with your dad in jeopardy. Wife’s furious I’ve lost sex party lust I’m sick of orgy antics During the lockdowns we attended a lot of online sex parties. We hooked up with several like-minded couples across the country and let rip. Someone would shout “oral” or “spanking” and we’d all play along. It was saucy and fun. I enjoyed the thrill, but most of all I felt safe. Now, however, my partner is insisting that we resume attending orgies (both informal and ticketed) for real. I’m not sure this is right or sanitary. I’m not on board anymore. Toys She complains I’ve changed. She says I’ve become boring and suburban, but I’m allowed to express my opinion, aren’t I? Pre-March 2020, we were very active in the sex party and swinging scene. In fact, I was probably more of the driving force. I’d seek out new players, help organise events and even staged a few upmarket gatherings in smart venues in busy cities. Two of them were particularly successful and earned us enough money to re-do the kitchen and install a hot tub in the garden. But now the idea of polishing the sex toys, buying the condoms and getting naked with a bunch of horny old devils is no longer ringing my bells. Since lock- CHANGE: Lockdown made him realise he wants a one-to-one relationship with his wife down, I’ve changed. I’ve become milder and chilled. I feel I’ve been there and done it all. I liked the way my partner and I reconnected on a personal level when it was just the two of us in the house. The online parties were a distraction and innocent fun. But I don’t need to access those again either. Unfortunately, my partner is just as hungry and highly sexed as ever. She says I’ve lost my edge. But we don’t all stay the same for ever, do we? JANE SAYS: Pre-pandemic, you and your partner enjoyed a highly charged, full-on sex life. You attended (and even organised) orgies and parties and loved every sexy second. But recent events have forced you to calm down and reflect. Now you find yourself turned off by the idea of mixing it up with strangers. You feel you’ve gone as far as you want to go and now crave a different kind of future – one that is less frenetic and more loving on a committed one-to-one basis. You’re right when you say that you’re entitled to change your mind and do things differently. Your partner needs Picture posed by models to hear you don’t love or desire her less. It’s just that your priorities have changed. Keep talking and see where you end up. If she really isn’t interested in a different kind of future and you are adamant that your dildopolishing days are behind you, then maybe this is where you and she part. You must stay true to yourself. Be aware of your limits and be strong enough to know where to draw the line. You say you’re worried about safety and group sex being sanitary and that’s your prerogative. Crying game’s a worry My bloke complains I’m a “cry baby” – and he’s right. Any argument we have, no matter how small, always ends with me blubbing. I can’t help it and I’m embarrassed. I’ve always been extremely sensitive – the minute I sense an atmosphere or unhappiness my lip wobbles and I break down. Now he’s withdrawing from me. I know he’s stopped telling me stuff and expressing his opinions because he can’t deal with the tears. Can I fix this? JANE SAYS: Level with your guy. Tell him you know your tears annoy and distress him, but make it clear that you want to sort this out. Your tears don’t make you weak or any less of a person. Organise a chat with your GP with a view to seeking professional therapy. It’s possible you’re highly sensitive or damaged as the result of an earlier experience. You must learn to manage emotions so you don’t become alienated or stressed down the line. Pace yourself, be aware of triggers and take care of yourself. Eat well, exercise regularly and get good quality sleep. JANE'S FAB ADVICE LINES *Calls 09057893400 Super sex 09057893401 Brilliant orgasms 09057893402 Is that kinky? 09057893403 Erection problems?

Girl’s not appy at ban on web My girlfriend is furious I’ve given up social media. I’ve deleted every app and feel so much better. I was in too deep and it was doing my head in. She says I’m being selfish. How can other people see what we’re doing if I never post? Why should it all be down to her to “maintain our profile”? JANE SAYS: She is free to post what she likes, but she can’t shame you into re-engaging with social media if it was affecting your mental health. We all benefit from an online detox once in a while. You’ve clearly decided that you and various apps don’t mix. Yours is a personal decision that you’ve taken with intelligence and care.

Henry de Bromhead’s mare went into the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle with a perfect 12-12 record – including the past two runnings of the Punchestown Grade One test. Despite fears the drying ground in Co Kildare would work against Rachael Blackmore’s mount, Honeysuckle went off the 2-5 hotpot to remain unbeaten. And she returned in scintillating style, easing to the front on the home turn and galloping clear of 2020 runner-up Ronald Pump to score by eight lengths, with Abacadabras completing in third place. Blackmore, above, whose mount returned to a rousing reception, said: “It was fantastic – great to have such a buzz here. “You take every day as it comes but she’s incredible and it’s great that she kept doing what she does best. “We went a good gallop and in hindsight I had her committed good and ■■ by DAVID YATES early – it was a messy race in that sense – but it worked out.” De Bromhead added: “I’m delighted with that. Rachael was brilliant on her and they are just a lethal combination. “I had convinced myself all week that she was going to get beaten. I’m at the stage now where I tell myself, ‘She’s going to get beaten this time.’” Honeysuckle is now set to tread the same path as last season, with the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on February 5, followed by the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham the following month. “That route has worked before so we can back off her for a few weeks now,” said the Co Waterford trainer. Noel Meade’s Beacon Edge was cut to 14-1 for the Marsh Novices’ Chase at the National Hunt Festival after landing the Grade One Drinmore Chase in the hands of Denis O’Regan. Statuaire denied 5-4 market leader My Mate Mozzie by a short head for the Grade One Royal Bond Hurdle and will be aimed at the Dawn Run Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle by Willie Mullins next spring.

The pair have enjoyed a fierce Essex rivalry going back 35 years to junior days – and they clash this afternoon in the third round at the York Barbican. And inevitably the meeting brings back memories of their infamous 2005 UK match that saw ‘The Rocket’ drape a white towel over his head. That brought a warning from referee Alan Chamberlain, having also conceded a frame when trailing by 29 points with 51 on the table. But King, now 47, stood firm for a superb 9-8 win. The former Northern Ireland Open winner from Romford insists no quarter will be asked or given today, saying: “I’ll be trying Livelifetothemax........A 12.30 Lord Stanley...............K 1.55 Maahi Ve....................

In that UK match in 2005 the ref had warned him, and then told him to take the towel off his head because it was disrespectful. I don’t think Ronnie really listened to him. “It was also against me in Glasgow that he made 140 and refused to pot the final black as it was only a £4,000 prize – until ref Jan Verhaas persuaded him for the crowd!” ■Sam Craigie enjoyed a shock win over Ding Junhui.

DS1ST DAILY STAR, Monday, November 29, 2021 41 FRANK WILLIAMS CBE 1942-2021 A true giant who won battles on and off the track tributes flood in for boss ■■ by Simon cass THE man whose drive and passion built a Formula One dynasty has taken the chequered flag for the final time. Frank Williams, who has died at the age of 79, guided his team to seven drivers’ titles and nine constructors’ championships. And yesterday Damon Hill, who won the world title with the Williams team in 1996, explained why his former mentor would go down in the sport’s folklore.

His record will stand for a very long time. The only person I could compare him to is Enzo Ferrari. “He loved Formula One and he loved racing. Anyone who runs a team would like to aspire to his achievements and to his record. “He was a man of few words. He could speak many languages but he didn’t really engage in idle gossip. He’s a huge part of the history of the sport.” Williams driver George Russell paid his own tribute on Twitter to him. He wrote: “Today, we say goodbye to the man who defined our team. Sir Frank was such a genuinely wonderful human being and I’ll always remember the laughs we shared. “He was more than a boss, he was a mentor and a friend to everybody who joined the Williams Racing family.” Stefano Domenicali, chief executive of F1 rights holders the Formula One Group and former Ferrari team principal, described Williams as a “true giant” of the sport. Domenicali said: “This morning Claire Williams called to inform me of the very sad news that her beloved father, Sir Frank Williams, had passed away. “He was a true giant of our sport that overcame the most difficult of challenges in life and battled every day to win on and off the track. “We have lost a much loved and respected member of the F1 family and he will be hugely missed.

He is a really cool guy. “I met him in person at the Met Gala and we had a very good conversation. “And as for me winning the award, I just don’t understand how it could even be a possibility!” Raducanu will miss the ceremony in Salford on December 19 because she will be training in the Gulf.

Guardiola said: “The first half was almost impossible to play, you have to adapt and don’t take risks. “But we have an incredible groundskeeper. Thanks to them we could play. The referee decided we could play, but the guys who took care of the pitch, they were the ‘man of the match’. They did an incredible job to get the game on. “The chances we created, it could have been three or four. The players were brilliant. All of them. We cannot forget which opponent we played. They have everything.” Manuel Lanzini scored a consolation for the Hammers with the last kick of the game. But the London outfit have now suffered rare back-to-back losses and manager David Moyes (inset) said: “I hoped the weather might affect them more than it did us.

When the going gets tough in these winter months, City tend to get going. Following defeat to Spurs at this stage of last season, Pep Guardiola’s men put together a stunning 28-game unbeaten run that saw them crowned kings of England again. And on this evidence, few would back against them grinding out something similar in a bid to defend their title. Guardiola made just two changes and was once again without influential trio Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and record signing Jack Grealish. But the hosts still went into this clash high on confidence after a run of wins that included triumphs over neighbours Manchester United as well as Paris St- Germain in the Champions League.

Michail Antonio twisted and turned past Ruben Dias before picking out Said Benrahma close to goal but the Algerian dallied too long and the opening was gone. But City began to get a grip on the game and Kyle Walker whistled a long-range drive just wide before Aymeric Laporte saw his looping header from Gundogan’s corner come back off the post. Raheem Sterling then decided to join in and fired an angled strike just wide as the pressure continued to build.

Injured centre-back Joachim Andersen was badly missed as Palace conceded another set-piece goal.

Aaron Cresswell probably wished they hadn’t bothered, after damaging his lower back when clattering into the post in the process of clearing Gabriel Jesus’ effort off the line following a sharp break and cross from Sterling. Fabianski did well to block Gundogan from adding his second in the 80th minute as the game meandered towards its conclusion, before substitute Fernandinho finally put the outcome beyond David Moyes’ men in the 90th minute with Lanzini’s strike too late to make a difference. ■■ by NEIL Mcleman yellow card and that was one of the reasons,” the Frenchman said. “As a team, it wasn’t a good performance in and out of possession. “You will lose a game, that’s down to the time and the moment, but it’s more about the performance I’m not happy about.” Palace had been bidding to equal their club record of eight Premier League games without defeat.

MANCHESTER United were turned into a force again by a phantom menace. Incoming interim boss Ralf Rangnick was nowhere to be seen – but someone was whispering instructions into technical director Darren Fletcher’s earpiece on the bench. And although caretaker Michael Carrick picked the team and parked the bus, it was hard to escape the suspicion Rangnick was at the wheel. As bad as United were going forward after leaving Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, the ploy almost worked. Jorginho’s dreadful mistake gifted Jadon Sancho the opener, but the Blues midfielder turned hero to convert the penalty equaliser. And despite Ronaldo making it on for a belated 26-minute cameo, Chelsea did everything but score the winner, with Antonio Rudiger missing a glorious chance late on. Despite Carrick packing his midfield with cloggers and ■■ by PAUL BROWN CHELSEA 1 MAN UNITED 1 demanding his side press from the front, United were almost undone inside four minutes. Only a fine point-blank save from David De Gea, so often the saviour this season, prevented Callum Hudson-Odoi giving Chelsea an early lead. But United dug in after that and De Gea wasn’t called on to make another big stop until Rudiger got fed up and launched one from 30 yards. It was hit like a rocket and it almost flew in, but De Gea got his fingertips to it and then clutched his arm in pain after it rattled off the crossbar. Bruno Fernandes, all over the place in a bad way at times playing as a ‘false nine’, then presented Chelsea with another chance by playing an absolutely terrible pass. Aimed
DS1ST DAILY STAR, Monday, November 29, 2021 47 Ralf wasn’t present but was he in ear? across his own box, it was easily picked off by Hudson-Odoi, who should have done better with a deflected shot which bobbled De Gea’s way for a comfortable save. And by half-time that’s what United were – comfortable. They even had a penalty shout waved away when Fred, of all people, took a tumble under a challenge from Rudiger. But referee Anthony Taylor was never going to give it and even the protests from Carrick and Co on the bench were muted. Then, in the 50th minute, United struck. Jorginho was the culprit, holding his head in shame after presenting Sancho with the opening. It was a simple up and under clearance that the Chelsea midfielder failed to control and suddenly Sancho was away. For a split second he looked in two minds whether to finish or pass to Marcus Rashford – and it looked like he was going to blow it. But after a moment’s hesitation he made the right choice and tucked it away into the bottom corner to score with his side’s first shot on target. Chelsea had a chance to respond when Aaron Wan-Bissaka misjudged a clearance and kicked Thiago Silva. And respond they did when penalty expert Jorginho thumped home the spot-kick on 69 minutes. Wan-Bissaka’s brilliant block later denied Timo Werner a certain winner, before Rudiger sliced a stoppage-time chance over the bar. premier LEAGUE P W D L F A Pts Chelsea 13 9 3 1 31 5 30 Man City 13 9 2 2 27 7 29 Liverpool 13 8 4 1 39 11 28 West Ham 13 7 2 4 24 16 23 Arsenal 13 7 2 4 15 17 23 Wolves 13 6 2 5 12 12 20 Tottenham 12 6 1 5 11 17 19 Man Utd 13 5 3 5 21 22 18 Brighton 13 4 6 3 12 14 18 Leicester 13 5 3 5 20 23 18 Crystal Palace 13 3 7 3 19 19 16 Brentford 13 4 4 5 17 17 16 Aston Villa 13 5 1 7 18 21 16 Everton 13 4 3 6 16 20 15 Southampton 13 3 5 5 11 18 14 Watford 13 4 1 8 18 24 13 Leeds 13 2 6 5 12 20 12 Burnley 12 1 6 5 14 20 9 Norwich 13 2 3 8 7 27 9 Newcastle 13 0 6 7 15 29 6 ■DEVILISH: United winger Sancho roars with delight after netting STAR PLAYER SCOTT McTOMINAY Tigerish STAR SHOCKER TINO WERNER A miss factory MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ ■UPS AND DOWNS: Jorginho levels from the spot after his mistake allowed Sancho to slip the opener beyond Edouard Mendy (above) STARFACTS CHELSEA (3-4-2-1): Mendy 6; Chalobah 6, Silva 7, Rudiger 7; James 8, Loftus-Cheek 6, Jorginho 6, Alonso 6 (Pulisic 77); Ziyech 5, Hudson-Odoi 5 (Mount 77); Werner 5 (Lukaku 82).

Referee Peter Bankes postponed the game on safety grounds after talks with Conte and Burnley boss Sean Dyche. Bankes was concerned the snow was covering the pitch markings faster than the Burnley ground staff could clear it. Spurs chief Conte said: “There’s a bit of disappointment because we were ready to play. We prepared for the game but at the same time the referee made the right decision to ensure a safe situation for the players, the fans and everybody.” Spurs flew back to London immediately and will have more time to prepare for their home games against Brentford on Thursday and Norwich on Sunday.

2 Monday, November 29, 2021 DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME ■D-REAM TIME: Skipper Tim nets to put Fulham in front Solid Silva’s up for a showdown PRESTON 1 FULHAM 1 IT’S show time at Craven Cottage on Friday night when the Championship’s top two go head to head. And after two successive draws against teams in the bottom half of the table, you could excuse Fulham boss Marco Silva being apprehensive about facing Bournemouth. Not one bit. “Nothing will break our confidence, nothing will break what is our aim, our goal,” he said. “We know that we won’t win all the games. It’s really tough to play in the Championship.” Bottom club Derby and Preston have both halted the juggernaut which previously had won seven games on the trot. Though that did not look the case at Deepdale early on as skipper Tim Ream scored and Fulham bossed the proceedings. Whether the illness which has struck down some of the squad in the week played a part but Fulham looked leggy in the second half when Preston upped the tempo. Silva said: “It wasn’t the performance we should have put on the pitch in the second half. “There was a clear lack of energy from us. I tried to change something in the midfield because we were losing so many challenges, so many duels.” Fulham, though, are still top – nine-points ahead of West Brom in third. Silva added: “You look at the table but the main thing is to look after ■■ by JOHN RICHARDSON ourselves and do our job well. Unfortunately for us we didn’t do that in the second half. “The easy way would be to find excuses. I didn’t say one word to my players about it (the illness) until the end of the match. “Now it’s nice to have a whole week to recover and prepare to go again.” It was a day when Preston striker Emil Riis and substitute Ched Evans, who scored the equaliser, overshadowed Fulham’s 21-goal man Aleksandar Mitrovic. Evans was fortunate that his goal stood after a definite hand ball from Riis following a corner. Evans scored the winner in midweek at Middlesbrough and manager Frankie McAvoy said: “I was delighted Ched made another impact coming off the bench again. “He’s a real threat. He causes the opposition all sorts of hassle. “We knew how we should set up because teams who have gone more aggressive against Fulham have been punished severely. “I’d love to go out there and go toe to toe in every game we play. Today we needed to do what we did. ‘‘Blackpool did it with 30 per cent possession, had one shot on target and beat Fulham 1-0. “That was a good gauge for us and I’m glad the analyst boys came up trumps for us.” ■CHED MASTER: Evans wheels away after his leveller RADIO Buzzing Vardy has last laugh to drive Ranieri round bend CLAUDIO RANIERI was forced to tune into “Radio W*****” and copped an earful as Jamie Vardy wrecked his emotional return to Leicester. Back at the King Power for the first time as a manager since leading the Foxes’ 5,000-1 miracle workers to the title in 2016, Ranieri cut a helpless figure on the touchline as Vardy led Watford a merry dance. When the great ‘Tinkerman’ defied those mountainous odds, and ended up being serenaded by his compatriot Andrea Bocelli, Vardy sprinkled 24 goals across the greatest football fairy tale of all. But the former England striker never forgot how, in the early days of their alliance, Ranieri playfully christened him “Radio W*****”. His incessant chatter provided a permanent dressing-room soundtrack like a decorator’s wireless. And as snowfall provided the sugar coating from leaden skies, Vardy answered his former manager’s good-humoured nickname emphatically. If the margin of defeat was harsh on Ranieri – the Hornets were excellent going forward – he was left to rue their defensive meltdown. Before kick-off, Emperor Claudio gave his flock a regal wave and several times during a slapstick romp he sheepishly acknowledged their adulation. Leicester had made a tepid start until William Troost-Ekong inexplicably ducked under Jonny Evans’ aimless free-kick and James Maddison, making a speculative run into the box behind him, couldn’t believe his luck. Maddison, who had scored against Legia Warsaw on his return to the starting line-up in midweek, seized his chance with aplomb, drilling his first-time finish low beyond keeper Daniel Bachmann. Even the snow, which began to fall shortly afterwards, could not camouflage Troost-Ekong’s embarrassment. It was a brain freeze, pure and simple. But Watford’s response was exemplary and on the half hour they were level. Cucho Hernandez’s deflected 25-yard shot had just rebounded off the angle into Kasper Schmeichel’s grateful arms when Wilfred Ndidi clattered into Emmanuel Dennis to concede a needless penalty. Josh King did the honours from the spot, burying his fifth goal of the season into the corner, but the Hornets’ joy was short-lived by more sloppy defending. Maddison’s deft chip located Vardy’s darting run into the channel and, from a STAR PLAYER Jamie Vardy Still having a party STAR SHOCKER William Troost-Ekong Horrible mistake, schoolboy stuff MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ■■ by MIKE WALTERS LEICESTER 4 WATFORD 2 tight angle, the former England ace was too quick for the onrushing Bachmann. And three minutes before the break, the great party animal, whose title-winning celebrations have gone down in folklore, made it seven goals in 10 games against the Hornets, darting to meet Maddison’s corner with a glancing near-post header. But as the ice age set in, Leicester’s intensity dropped markedly after the break and Watford refused to come quietly. When Dennis robbed the dawdling Timothy Castagne and beat Schmeichel with a lovely dinked finish, the Foxes waited in vain for VAR to intervene. A three-minute delay while groundstaff restored the pitch markings by sweeping snow from the lines enabled Leicester to reboot – and Brendan Rodgers’ side were grateful to restore their two-goal cushion midway through the second half. Vardy nearly completed his hat-trick, denied only by a sprawling Bachmann save, but Harvey Barnes’ cut-back teed up Ademola Lookman for a simple tap-in. ■ WELL DRILLED: James Maddison blasts in the opener

Play was held up for three minutes after Watford made it 3-2 to allow groundstaff to sweep snow off the pitch markings. Vardy said: “At one point their keeper was trying to get it called off with the ref. “But pitches have the undersoil heating and we weren’t worried.” Both his goals were set up by James Maddison (below), who opened the scoring, and Vardy said: “We know when Madders gets on the ball he has that creativity and it’s about making the runs for him. “It was a massive win and we want to keep that momentum going.” Vardy was pleased that his former manager Claudio Ranieri was afforded a hero’s welcome and added: “He got the reception the fans wanted to give him but we knew it was down to business on the pitch and we wanted the win.” A frustrated Ranieri refused to blame the second-half blizzard for the Hornets’ eighth defeat in 13 games. Already without flying winger Ismaila Sarr and keeper Ben Foster, he also saw the impressive Emmanuel Dennis and Adam Masina limp off. Ranieri said: “We lost because we made mistakes and they took their chances, it was nothing to do with the pitch. “Overall we played well. For the first goal, William Troost- Ekong didn’t think there was anyone behind him and for the fourth Adam Masina was down injured.” Ranieri was humbled by his reception and said: “It was fantastic and I want to say thank you to them, but also to the Watford fans who came here on a very difficult day.”
4 Monday, November 29, 2021 DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME BOURNEMOUTH 2 COVENTRY 2 HOMELESS and very nearly clubless less than a decade ago – Coventry are now on a “mad” push for the Premier League. The Sky Blues were exiled to Northampton and then Birmingham, relegated to League One and League Two, thrown multiple points deductions and wrangled with nightmare owners SISU. But two promotions in four campaigns and a return to the Coventry Building Society Stadium have seen optimism and pride return. And this upwardly mobile step saw them hit back from two goals down to draw at second-placed Bournemouth – albeit helped by Jefferson Lerma’s red card. Coventry are fifth just shy of the halfway point in the season and manager Mark Robins (inset) can barely believe it. “It is amazing,” said Robins, who is in the fifth season of his second spell as manager. “They are just doing brilliantly. “I don’t get set targets by the board at the start of the season. I use the word incremental a lot, trying to eke pluses out and better ourselves each season. “The board have been outstanding in my backing. What they can deliver is way away from the other teams but we try to utilise it as best we can. “It is exciting to be ■ON POINT: Kane (left) celebrates Robins heroes in mad turnaround ■■ by ALEX SMITH around at the moment. It is a special place and it has been a long old time trying to turn things around. “For us to come to places like this and get something from the game is a huge compliment to everybody. “To talk about promotion is mad. We are talking game by game and those incremental gains and see where we are at.” Robins admitted that there is one final hurdle to a sustained promotion push – the players believing it is possible. The former Manchester United striker said: “I get frustrated because I know how good they are but the players aren’t quite there, but they are getting there. “If we can get there in their heads, then that is a massive step forward.” Belief seemed hard to see when Jaidon Anthony and Philip Billing fired Bournemouth into a comfortable lead. Lerma was dismissed for his last-man tackle before a crazy finale saw Matt Godden and Todd Kane’s fortuitous 95thminute strike steal a point. Cherries winger Anthony said: “To concede to the last kick of the game is utterly disappointing but we have to bounce back and dust ourselves off before Fulham on Friday.” ■DOWN IN THE MOUTH: Dejected Cherries WEAK AT THE BEES BEFORE kick-off Everton fans demanded “nothing but the best”. In the end they got just another 90 minutes of dross as Ivan Toney’s first-half penalty condemned them to another defeat and seventh game without a win. Toffees followers unveiled the giant banner with the message: “We demand Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. It’s about time our club did too.” The Latin phrase has been Everton’s club motto since 1938 where expectations of fans are made clear. But clearly their players are not understanding that ethos, judging by this most uninspiring of displays, and there may already now be question marks over Rafa Benitez’s future after a mere few months in charge. Brentford could not have dreamt of a more serene Sunday stroll as their own five-game winless run came to an end. After a quiet start, this game sprang to life midway through the first half. Andros Townsend’s inexplicable high boot caught Frank Onyeka firmly in the face. It was a clear penalty but it took two minutes, a Pontus Jansson effort saved by Jordan Pickford and a subsequent Everton attack, before ref Darren England went to his monitor to overturn his original decision to wave play on. It showed the lingering flaws in VAR. Toney did not worry, though. He took his time to calmly slot into the bottom right-hand corner. England star Pickford, a penalty shootout saving expert, had no chance as the Bees striker made it 11 successful spot-kicks out of 11 since he moved to West London at the start of last season. Everton could have levelled within moments but Alvaro Fernandez, again filling in for the injured David Raya, made a wonder stop to foil Salomon Rondon at close range. Brentford went on to create a host of chances, though, as only fine Abdoulaye Doucoure defending prevented Vitaly Janelt from scoring as he broke free. Thomas Frank’s men again caused problems at long throws as Ethan Pinnock headed straight at Pickford after Charlie Goode chanced his arm. Bryan Mbeumo should then have done better with a weak shot at Pickford after Toney’s cross had fallen to him. Apart from some excellent runs from Anthony Gordon in front of the watching England manager Gareth Southgate, Everton continued to struggle. However, they did have half-chances before the break courtesy of Lucas Digne Rafa on last legs as sad Toffees get chewed up ■■ by IAN BAKER BRENTFORD 1 EVERTON 0 and Michael Keane long-rangers. Apart from a wayward Alex Iwobi effort, chances dried up completely in the second half as Brentford soaked up the pressure content that their opponents were going nowhere in attack. It was only in the last five minutes that the Toffees found some attacking nous. Rondon headed wide from a Seamus Coleman cross, while Iwobi’s header was comfortably gathered by Fernandez. But they never looked like scoring and now have gone three games without finding the net. Everton went over to face their fans at the end and were met by dog’s abuse, while Brentford’s players had a lap of honour. And next up for Benitez? It’s the Merseyside derby with old club Liverpool in just two days’ time. Good luck with that one, pal. ■SETS THE TONE: Ivan Toney enjoys his winner with Sergi Canos and Bryan Mbeumo (far left) ■ FEELING BLUE: Benitez watches on as his Everton side failed to score again

We didn’t deserve to lose – the team are giving everything on the pitch. “I understand the frustration but you cannot complain about effort. “If we consider what we did at the beginning of the season, we have quality to do something. “It’s a question now of confidence and missing these players.” Brentford boss Thomas Frank reckons goal hero Toney is the world’s best penalty taker – due to his training ground preparation. He has scored more times from the spot than anyone else since the start of the last campaign after his winner against the Toffees. Toney’s strike was his 11th successful penalty out of 11 for the club he joined last summer. He now has 18 out of 19 in total throughout his career. Frank (right) said: “I said he’s the world’s best penalty taker this week. He proved it again today against Jordan Pickford, who is good in terms of saving penalties. “You need to be strong, composed and like that pressure – and Ivan is bang on that. If you want to be good at something and maintain the level, you need to practise it. And Ivan is practising it every single day.” Brentford are up to 12th after ending a five-game streak without a victory, and Frank added: “It’s up there as one of our biggest win of the season. Obviously there was the first one against Arsenal but this was a massive win. “The second half, Everton were on the ball more, hurting us. We are a newly-promoted club playing against Everton who have invested heavily in the last years.” ■LOST HIS HEAD: Andros Townsend kicks Frank Onyeka to concede a spot-kick HIT: Town’s Toffolo stunned as Watmore (right) strikes for Boro Duncan double delight HUDDERSFIELD 1 MIDDLESBRO 2 ■■ by ROSS HEPPENSTALL DUNCAN WATMORE revealed he considered quitting football for a career in high finance after his injury hell left him at rock bottom. The striker, 27, joined Middlesbrough on a short-term deal 12 months ago having left Sunderland in the summer of 2020. Multiple anterior cruciate ligament injuries limited him to 71 appearances for the Black Cats, but he has rebuilt his career at Boro and his first-half double destroyed Huddersfield. Yet Watmore said: “At one time I thought I’d not be playing again. “I’ve got a degree in economics and a masters in business and leadership. My three brothers all work in London in the City and they’ve always supported me, along with my wife. “Whenever there were dark days they always believed I could get back fit and playing. “I had doubts but kept persevering and I just feel lucky and grateful to still be playing.” The result gave new boss Chris Wilder his first win at the third time of asking and lifted Boro to within six points of the play-off places. Watmore said: “Every new manager has their new ideas and you have to be adaptable. “That’s what we have been doing and we saw the results here.” Huddersfield slipped to their first home defeat since September after a woeful first-half display. Luke Daniels’ last-minute own goal was little consolation for Town, who were booed off at the break. Striker Danny Ward said: “We all said at half-time that our performance simply wasn’t good enough. “We showed a reaction second half, but overall that first half killed us.’’

Former England striker Carroll scored his first goal since January and only his third in the past four injury-ravaged years. Drinkwater also revived past memories with the winner which was the Chelsea loanee’s first goal for almost four years. Carroll scored one goal for Newcastle last season and none at all the campaign before that. But his strike to put Reading 2-1 up was a throwback to his glory days. Drinkwater (inset) said: “It was nice to score but it was even better that Andy scored. That’s a great sign of things to come. “Andy is a great signing for the club. Just having him around the place is great for all the lads. “It’s about us using our youth to help his experience to create the best team we can. He helps us create a spine through the team and we need to use that to kick on. “He’s a big unit and the more he starts using that power again, the more of a problem he’s going to be for other teams. “If we can use him effectively, and play off him, then he’s going to be massive for us.” Each time Swansea ■ANDY MAN: Carroll scores for Reading ■ROYAL HERO: Carroll (second left) enjoys a cuddle ■■ by GRAHAM THOMAS scored they leaked a goal within seconds. Jamie Paterson’s opener was cancelled out by Tom Dele-Bashiru, then Drinkwater hit the winner just after Ryan Manning had made it 2-2. The win clawed back three of the six points Reading lost when they were recently hit with a six-point deduction for financial rule breaking. Drinkwater, who last found the net when playing for Chelsea in December 2017, admitted the years have misted his memory. He said: “It was so nice to get on the scoresheet. “My finish was instinctive. It’s the first time I’ve been in that box for a while, but I’m delighted to help us get three points. “We just need to build on this. It was a strange week, with things happening off the pitch, but we’ve delivered a good performance after a sloppy performance before and now we need to move forward from this. “It’s not out of the question that we can get up back into that top six. It’s such a crazy league.” Swans scorer Manning said: “To twice concede a minute or so after we had scored is disappointing. “We can’t afford to let that happen if we want to be in the place in the table that we want to be.” STARFACTS CRYSTAL PALACE (4-3-1-2): Guaita 5; Ward 6, Tomkins 5, Guehi 6, Mitchell 6; Olise 6 (Ayew 87), Milivojevic 5 (Eze 60, 6), Kouyate 7; Gallagher 6; Benteke 5, Zaha 5 (Edouard 72).

Eze (inset) came off the bench against Aston Villa for his first appearance under Vieira after suffering an Achilles injury last May. The former QPR playmaker had just won a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad for Euro 2020. His introduction after an hour got the biggest cheer of the day from Crystal Palace fans. Eagles manager Vieira, who saw Marc Guehi pull a goal back in injury time, said: “It is good to have him on the pitch but at the same time we know he has a long way to go. “He is one of the fan favourites but we need to understand that the player stayed seven months outside of competition. “It will take time for him to get to his best. He is working well, he is working hard. Every week he is making progress and this is good but we should not expect very much for him from the first couple of months. “We just have to keep working with him. I do not plan to think he will be in the starting 11 or not. “We just have to see how he goes week after week but he is making good progress.”
DS1ST Monday, November 29, 2021 7 EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME SPECSY FOOTBALL STEVEN GERRARD said all the right things after this latest win. In proper manager-speak, he praised his players while insisting there was still lots of work to be done, starting on Wednesday at home to Manchester City. “What we won’t do is get carried away on the back of two wins,” he said. But after seeing off World Cup winner Patrick Vieira before going head to head with Pep Guardiola, Gerrard then tried to deny he wasn’t enjoying his first experience of Premier League management. “I’m not sure this is a league or a level where you get much enjoyment because the next top coach comes along in three days’ time,” he said. But he wasn’t fooling anyone. And even Gerrard could not keep up the pretence as he revealed his true feelings about bossing a big club in the best league in the world and starting with two impressive victories. “Secretly, of course, this is where I want to be,” he admitted. “I’ve worked extremely hard to get to this position, so I want to give it the best shot from a personal point of view.” Gerrard, who learned his trade at Liverpool and Rangers, talked about “tweaking, improving and evolving” Villa but he has already made his mark. Five consecutive defeats have been followed by two wins. The defence and midfield is compact, while Leon Bailey and Ashley Young were brought in up front to stretch Palace. Matt Targett scored his first goal in 75 Premier League games for the opener from a Young corner and John McGinn sealed Villa’s triumph after set-up work by substitutes Emi Buendia ■■ by NEIL McLEMAN C PALACE 1 ASTON VILLA 2 and Anwar El Ghazi as the game opened up. “The manager has told me when I get into those positions to let rip,” said McGinn. “It was one of his.” Former midfielder Gerrard praised his two displays since his arrival as he produced the flair alongside Marvelous Nakamba and Jacob Ramsey. “We don’t want that midfield three being the same and John’s the one that will jump out,” he said. And Gerrard was pleased to see improvements from his opening win over Brighton as Villa pressed Palace into submission in the first half. He added: “We wanted to be more aggressive in certain areas of the pitch and certainly in the first 45 minutes the players had clearly listened as we were really tough to play against. “That gave us the base and the platform to go and play some lovely stuff from. “There are still areas where we can get better.

Luton boss Nathan Jones blasted his side for a lack of “bravery” after this defeat. A month ago, Luton looked play-off contenders but a run of one win in six matches, including four games without scoring, has seen them drop into the bottom half of the table. “I don’t think we are playing too badly but we are just conceding stupid goals,” said midfielder Clark. “We’ve got to get on the ball, be brave and keep it on the floor, which we didn’t. We’ve got to cut out the mistakes, start defending and start scoring more. “It’s just disappointing giving sloppy goals away and it is similar goals every week now. We’re addressing it in the week but we are obviously not learning from it. “You can’t keep letting in two goals a game in the Championship, you give yourself a mountain to climb.” Luton were behind after 10 minutes when Perry Ng’s cross found Rubin Colwill unmarked at the far post to head in. Clark fired Luton level in the 64th minute after an excellent cutback by Elijah Adebayo and it looked like the home side was on top. But Sean Morrison, the captain who had been recalled to the side, headed a winner on 77 minutes when Ryan Giles’ cross was allowed to drift across the area. Colwill said: “Sean losing his place and coming back in shows that everyone has to give 100 per cent and it shows we are all together. “He was out of the team but came back and scored a great winning goal.”
8 Monday, November 29, 2021 DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME WINNER: Khadra Heavy mettle Rovers STOKE 0 BLACKBURN 1 ■■ by JOHN WRAGG BLACKBURN’S men of steel are making a shock bid for Premier League promotion. Since being walloped 7-0 by Fulham earlier this month, Rovers are unbeaten and have taken 10 points out of 12. It puts them fourth in the table and a point behind West Brom, one of the favourites to go up. The Fulham loss was Blackburn’s record home defeat and manager Tony Mowbray hails his men for a fighting back. They were always better than Stoke in this game and won thanks to Reda Khadra’s 52ndminute goal. “I was brought up on a council estate in a steel town and when someone punches you in the face, you have to fight back,” said Mowbray. “I expected my team to react after that heavy defeat and they have shown their steel. “They are good guys, they are made of the right stuff. My job is to inspire, to tell stories and tales that make the hairs on the back of their necks stand up. “I tell them stories about life, what makes proper men – times when you have to stand up to be counted.’’ Blackburn have a Lancashire derby with Preston next and then a difficult trip to secondplaced Bournemouth. Mowbray added: “I know that people will question us, but as long as the players stick together we will enjoy the journey.” The Potters have lost two on the bounce and badly need their injured players back, but boss Michael O’Neill said: “All we will have for the QPR game is Joe Allen after suspension. “Any of the others, based on where they are now with their rehab, I would be surprised if any were in contention.” VAN-TASTIC REDS ARE SO GOOD Derby drama won’t derail Klopp again VIRGIL VAN DIJK will this week return to the scene of where everything started to go horribly wrong for Liverpool last season. It was at Everton’s Goodison Park when the Reds defender suffered serious ACL damage which ended his season. Thiago also suffered a knee injury in the Merseyside derby in October 2020. More injuries would follow and the Reds’ season was thrown into chaos. Yet it was a defeat at Southampton early in January when their defence of the Premier League title really hit the rocks. They won just two of their next eight and any chance of holding on to their crown vanished. But this comfortable home win against the Saints suggested, yet again, this side can go all the way in the title race. And ahead of returning to Goodison on Wednesday for the first time since Van Dijk was hacked down by Jordan Pickford, Jurgen Klopp admitted he himself learned from his mistakes last season. One was not pairing Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams together in defence when his senior stars were out and instead opting to push Fabinho and Jordan Henderson back. It cost them the title but when they got it right, they still somehow salvaged a Champions League spot. “I learned a lot,” said Kop boss Klopp. “I made mistakes, so it’s easy for me to look back and think, ‘That was wrong, that was wrong…’ “But in the moment when we made decisions, when we put the midfielders back and then played without protection in midfield, last line deeper, not really compact in a lot of moments... “Maybe we should have just played Rhys and Nat completely together earlier and trusted the boys more. “In that moment I thought they were not ready. Later on they were ready and they could both play, no problem, no doubt ■■ by CHRIS McKENNA LIVERPOOL 4 SOUTHAMPTON 0 about that. That would have given us a bit more stability in other areas. “(When you) lose a centre-half, it’s like breaking a leg but if you put the midfielders then in the last line and open up other gaps, then you break your spine and all of a sudden you cannot walk anymore. “That’s exactly like it was last year. It was not a lost season, I learned more than in other seasons, but it was a difficult season and finishing that season in third position is an absolutely exceptional achievement.” Liverpool will hope this season’s achievement is Premier League and Champions League success. On this form, they will be in the mix ■ BACK TO OUR BEST: Klopp and Van Dijk are all smiles after barely breaking sweat to swat aside Southampton. Diogo Jota scored the first in the second minute when he tapped home after a good move involving Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson. The Portuguese forward doubled his tally soon after the half-hour mark and this time it was thanks to Mo Salah’s cross. The third came from Thiago, a deflected strike after a shimmy put him in space. Any chance of a comeback was ended when Van Dijk showed some striking prowess to fire home from a corner seven minutes after the restart. “It’s only three games ago we lost at West Ham,” said Klopp. “We didn’t only lose at West Ham, we drew two games before as well, if I am right. “So, all of a sudden, we were in a bad moment. Now we look like we are in a better moment (but) the season is too long to think about these kind of things.” STARFACTS LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson 8; Alexander- Arnold 8, Konate 7, Van Dijk 7, Robertson 8; Henderson 6 (Milner 87), Fabinho 7, Thiago 7 (Oxlade-Chamberlain 59, 7); Salah 7, Jota 8 (Minamino 81), MANE 8.

Defender Andersen helped the Tykes keep a first clean sheet away from home this season but the South Yorkshire side are eight points adrift of safety after new boss Poya Asbaghi’s second game in charge. And despite ending a run of three consecutive defeats, Andersen believes Barnsley need to start picking up points sooner rather than later. He said: “We have to improve quickly and we believe we can do this, we just have to work even more. “It will be a very big week for us and we need to keep building momentum, we need to be focused in training and keep working hard. “Sometimes it was a bit frustrating but we kept well organised and had a few chances. “We’re still in the beginning with our new manager to figure out what we want to do, we kept to the plan and we can build on this.” Barnsley have scored just 13 league goals this season and their lack of creativity was evident. It could have been worse for Asbaghi’s men, with Peterborough spurning a golden chance to win when Joel Randall blazed over from 10 yards out in the 81st minute. That came following the resumption of play after a 15-minute delay to resolve a power cut that plunged the ground into darkness. Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: “The lights going out gave us a break because there were a few tired legs. “It was a game we wanted to win and we thought we could win, but we were just missing that little bit of quality.”
10 Monday, November 29, 2021 DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME MAGIC: Honeyman I’m Ga Ga for ‘tache HULL 2 MILLWALL 1 ■■ by JASON MELLOR QUEEN fan George Honeyman insists there is no way he will want to break free from his lucky Freddie Mercury tribute ‘tache. Millwall were the latest opponents to bite the dust thanks to Hull’s kind of magic midfielder, who has had just one vision in front of goal since signing up for ‘Movember’ with team-mate Josh Magennis. But Honeyman’s support of the men’s health awareness charity has left the 27-year-old with a dilemma, with his moustache-tastic challenge due for a sign-off shave this week. After scoring three times in a run of four straight wins for the Tigers, Honeyman said: “I think us footballers are a pretty superstitious lot. “It’s meant to go at the end of the month but after four wins in a row with the moustache, I think I’m going to have to have a conversation with my girlfriend about it staying on for a bit longer. “It’d feel strange to get rid of it now, after scoring a few times while I’ve been growing it. “I’ve always been a big Queen fan. If the ‘tache makes me look anything like Freddie, then I’ll take that, I’ve grown pretty attached to it.” Honeyman marked his 100th Tigers appearance by heading home a Jacob Greaves cross before Ryan Longman followed up after the break to grab his first goal on loan from Brighton to push Grant McCann’s men five points clear of danger. Tom Bradshaw levelled with a cool finish in first-half stoppage time for this third goal of the campaign. But it wasn’t enough for the wasteful Lions, with striker Benik Afobe saying: “We’re not scoring enough, so it’s about how we get the opportunities to score more.” SLAP IN THE FACE Eddie will struggle to stop the strain showing at Toon EDDIE HOWE looked remarkably fresh faced again. A far cry from the strained, tired figure whose Bournemouth adventure ended in disappointment when they were relegated 16 eventful months ago. At this rate, though, expect the lines to start showing again fairly soon. Howe talked a good game after his first afternoon in the Newcastle dugout. There was enough quality in that dressing room to keep Newcastle in the top flight, he insisted. Enough spirit. He pointed to the chances his team created early on, he pointed to the penalty he felt Calllum Wilson should have had when he sprinted into the Arsenal penalty area with Newcastle 1-0 down, only to be barged down by Gabriel. He insisted that was the key moment. He praised his team’s attitude and application. He said there were some positive signs. His team did not get the rub of the green on decisions. All the right things to say. And he insisted the experience of inheriting a Bournemouth team in financial meltdown and one game away from slipping put of the Football League – which he then took into the Premier League – would help him. “You can achieve some remarkable things in football if you all believe and you stay united,” said Howe. “Experience tells me that. I am a positive guy.” But the league table this morning looks cold and stark for Newcastle fans with their side bottom on just six points. Thirteen games played, no wins, six points from safety and tomorrow night they are at home to Norwich, the side immediately above them, before Saturday’s visit of Burnley. They are both must-win matches. If not, then Newcastle look in real danger of being cut adrift, despite Howe’s optimism. For all their good organisation in the first STAR PLAYER BUKAYO SAKA Lovely goal and a constant danger STAR SHOCKER JOELINTON Never got going MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ ■■ by TONY BANKS ARSENAL 2 NEWCASTLE 0 56 minutes of this game, the other damning stats were that Newcastle managed just five shots on target and mustered only four corners. Only one side has ever stayed up in the Premier League after failing to win their opening 13 games – Derby in 2000-01. It had not helped that Howe had only just made it into the dugout on Saturday after having to self-isolate. Arsenal did not play particularly well but at no stage did Newcastle ever look in control of the game. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta, though, will have been delighted with this recovery from last week’s thumping at Liverpool. His team scored two excellent goals and were never really in any danger. Bukayo Saka could have put them ahead early on and then Magpies goalkeeper Martin Dubravka pulled off a good save from Martin Odegaard. Newcastle’s one real moment of danger came when Jonjo Shelvey’s 25-yard screamer was superbly tipped onto the bar by Aaron Ramsdale but Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang’s miss from five yards will haunt him. The Toon were finally broken by a neat goal when Saka skipped onto Nuno Tavares’ clever pass to slot home. Then Wilson was denied his penalty but, in truth, he had probably already lost control of the ball. Arsenal tied the day up when from Takehiro Tomiyasu’s lovely pass, substitute Gabriel Martinelli nipped in to finish superbly. Hard work lies ahead for Howe. ■LINES OF DUTY: New boss Howe ages before our eyes as Toon lose again

Celina doubled the lead in first-half added time with a stunning chip from 25 yards that gave Paul Cook’s side the cushion they needed after Chris Long’s 73rdminute reply for the visitors. ■ FIRED UP: Celina roars with delight ■■ by TOM PRENTKI BRIGHTON 0 LEEDS 0 Graham POTTER slammed the Brighton fans who booed his team off after they extended their winless run to eight games. The normally calm Potter was visibly astonished at the reaction of sections of the home crowd and told them they need a history lesson. Only a decade ago the Seagulls were playing in League One and did not have a permanent ground so were forced to use a rundown athletics stadium for home games. Boss Potter said: “They’re entitled to their opinion, I’m entitled to mine. I totally disagree. “To get us a point, to put us eighth in the Premier League, above Manchester United, when I look at the history of this football club, I find it hard to understand. “They pay their money and they can say and do what they want, unfortunately. I have to defend the players. The players today were fantastic. “Anybody who watches or who knows anything about football will know the performance that the players put in. “I can still air my views and I can still defend the team. If they want to have a go at me, then they can, I’ve no problem with that.” It was a match Albion should have won after being kept out by the woodwork three times. Leandro Trossard and Jakub Moder were inches away in the first half, while second-half sub Solly March saw his tame effort dribble against the near post after a touch from Leeds keeper Illan Meslier minutes from time. Potter recalled Neal Maupay to the side but the misfiring French striker missed two sitters in the first half before being subbed for forgotten man Jurgen Locadia midway through the second half. Potter said: “When you are the striker, one day you are the hero. “When he scores in the last minute against Crystal Palace, he is the hero. “Today he is the opposite to that. That’s life but from our perspective nothing changes. “We still believe in him and we support him. I love how he works for the team. I love how he gives to the team. He’s taken some big steps this season off the pitch. “It’s life, it happens, we have to stick together as a whole and if we haven’t got them (fans), we will have to stick together as a group of players.” Like Brighton, Leeds have been struggling for goals and without the influential Patrick Bamford, who remains sidelined with injury, they created little to worry the Brighton defence.

Despite another drab Leeds performance, midfielder Adam Forshaw insists that the point is a step in the right direction. Leeds have struggled to hit the heights of last season and without Bamford look desperately short of a goal threat. Forshaw said: “It wasn’t our best game. If you break it down, though, it is a clean sheet away from home and another point on the board, so there are definitely positives.” ■FAN FURY: Graham Potter was stunned by some of the crowd’s jeers Potter’s history lesson ■LATE DRAMA: Sanchez saves Tyler Roberts’ effort in the dying minutes STARFACTS BRIGHTON (3-5-2): Sanchez 7; Veltman 7, Dunk 7, Webster 7; LAMPTEY 8 (March 76), Gross 7, Bissouma 8, Moder 6 (Sarmiento 81), Cucurella 6; Trossard 7, Maupay 5 (Locadia 68, 5).

Tomorrow sees the Canaries travel to winless Newcastle – the only side below them in the Premier League table. Victory would mean seven points accrued from new boss Dean Smith’s first three games and that is Manager of the Month material. Defeat, however, will see Norwich back where they were under former manager Daniel Farke – bottom and significantly adrift of safety. The stakes could hardly be higher for Smith and Co, who were applauded off against Wolves, despite drawing a blank for the eighth time in 13 games. Canaries keeper Krul, a Magpie for 11 seasons until 2017, backed Norwich to keep the unbeaten run going in the North East. He said: “We’ll be in the ice baths to get recovered.

Their preparations were hampered by injury to Willy Boly and Daniel Podence going down with Covid. And with four other first-teamers already injured their bench went unfilled. Morocco defender Saiss (inset) and Boly will also be off on Africa Cup of Nations duty in January. He said: “We have a small squad, it’s going to be tough in December, and even after that we’re going to lose two players for the African Cup. “That’s why everyone is working hard in training and we’re trusting in all the players. It doesn’t matter who is playing, we know the guy is going to do his all.” However, Saiss urged his team-mates to be more ruthless in front of goal after landing just two shots on target against Norwich. He added: “We have to try different things and maybe be more selfish. The players in front need to shoot.” deployed them again later on to deny Teemu Pukki. Wolves’ best opportunity was created and then snuffed out by Krul just before the Aarons chance. Grant Hanley’s Cruyff turn under pressure but then duff pass to his keeper saw Krul shank a clearance straight to Joao Moutinho. The Portugal midfielder’s shot was not the best, however, and Krul was able to get a shin behind it and block. Another man who is excited about the Canaries’ mini-revival is midfielder Billy Gilmour. The on-loan Chelsea youngster, 20, was ignored by Farke but is now one of the first names on Smith’s team sheet. He said: “Of course it was frustrating not playing. I’m buzzing and loving my football.” ■ON A ROLL: Jamille Matt slots in his first goal for Forest Green Monday, November 29, 2021 ROUND-UP Rob’s joy of six over forest FirE FOREST Green boss Rob and out of possession.

White marked her 100th cap with the only goal of the game in Saturday’s World Cup qualifying win against Austria that left Sarina Wiegman’s side five points clear at the top of Group D. That took her tally to 45 goals – one short of Smith’s mark – ahead of the clash with a Latvia side crushed 10-0 in the return fixture last month. Manchester City striker White said: “Kelly’s a legend of the game and what she did for women’s football is incredible – I’ve looked up to her for many years. “She knows how much I respect and her and I’ve got so much love for her as well.” White, who scored her first international goal on her debut against Austria in 2010, added: “I’m not stopping now. I want to work hard for this team to help the team qualify.” Chelsea defender Millie Bright captained England for the first time against Austria and is again expected to lead the team out at the Keepmoat Stadium.

The Rams host QPR tonight having upset the form book against Bournemouth and Fulham. Victory over the Cherries was followed by a battling scoreless stalemate at free-scoring Fulham to leave boss Wayne Rooney (inset) and his men at the foot of the table with just one point following the 21-point penalties imposed on the club for breach of financial regulations. It will take a major turnaround to avoid dropping down into League One. However, midfielder Bird insists no one at Pride Park is ready to throw in the towel. The 21-year-old said: “We know that QPR are a very strong team and we go into it after two excellent performances against Bournemouth and Fulham. “To take four points from the top two teams was very encouraging but we need to build on it. “We’re not giving up. The manager has spoken to us and we have to be realistic that the chance is slim. “But while there’s an opportunity, we will give it our all.

16 Monday, November 29, 2021 DS1ST ■EAR WE GO: Rhian Brewster celebrates his opener for Sheffield United EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME brewster jab RESURGENT striker Rhian Brewster helped Paul Heckingbottom make the perfect start as the new Sheffield United boss. Brewster’s 40th-minute strike put the Blades en route to all three points. It came in a match where Bristol City defender Nathan Baker was recovering in hospital last night after being taken off on a stretcher in a neck brace following a 13-minute spell of treatment on the pitch in the wake of an accidental clash with United’s Chris Basham. Official title ‘Football Manager’, Heckingbottom was appointed on a contract until the end of the 2025-26 season to replace Slavisa Jokanovic, who left on Thursday after just six months and 19 games in charge. The former Barnsley, Leeds and Hibs boss took caretaker charge at Bramall Lane following the departure last season of Chris Wilder and had worked as the club’s academy boss for the past 16 months. But now back-to-back wins for the first time this season lifts the Blades to 13th in the Championship table, six points off the play-off places. Brewster, the 21-year-old Anfield academy product, failed to score in his first 34 league appearances following a club record £23.5m move from Liverpool last October. But he has two in his last three games and Heckingbottom said: “It Rhian packs real punch to give Heckingbottom shot in the arm ■■ by JASON MELLOR SHEFFIELD UTD 2 BRISTOL CITY 0 was the ideal start. Everyone played their part and I was delighted to see Rhian on the scoresheet again. “He took his goal well, he’s a talented player and he knows we’re going to push him to produce his best.” At a snowy Bramall Lane where the match ball was changed halfway through the first half for a luminous yellow version, there was the welcome sight of John Fleck, who collapsed on the pitch during the midweek win at Reading. The Scotland midfielder continued his recovery following his discharge from hospital by watching from the main stand. The Blades deservedly took the lead when Brewster turned smartly on the edge of the penalty area to beat Daniel Bentley low to the goalkeeper’s right after neat approach play from Enda Stevens and Conor Hourihane. Brewster limped off early in the second half with hamstring trouble shortly after his goal-bound diving header was blocked by Alex Scott. Morgan Gibbs-White and John Egan both went close to a nervesoothing second before Billy Sharp came off the bench to get on the end of a David McGoldrick cross and put the outcome beyond doubt a minute from time. The Robins’ negative mindset was summed up by Bentley, Callum O’Dowda and Chris Martin all receiving first-half yellow cards for time wasting. They ■ CHEERS TO YOU: Heckingbottom ■BLADES OF GLORY: Brewster scores and (below) Billy Sharp adds a late second mustered only rare threats on goal. Martin’s point-blank header from Scott’s corner was saved brilliantly by Wes Foderingham, who was grateful to grab a Tyreeq Bakinson effort at the second attempt before preventing Egan from putting through his own net at the death. Boss Nigel Pearson said of Baker: “We don’t know the extent of Nathan’s injury at this stage. He’s gone to hospital after another of his very committed challenges.” It was City’s fourth straight defeat on the road and Pearson added: “We needed to be at our best but there were too many unforced errors. “We made some bad decisions and learned a few lessons against a team with a lot more know-how.” McGree is living dream BIRMINGHAM 1 BLACKPOOL 0 ■■ by JANINE SELF RILEY McGREE has not seen his parents, his girlfriend, his siblings or his friends since last October because of the Covid pandemic. Birmingham’s Australian playmaker believes it is the price he has to pay for chasing his football dream. He said: “I haven’t seen my family since I first came here. “But that’s a sacrifice you take as a footballer and hopefully I will see them soon. “It is completely out of my control (because of the pandemic). “You’ve got to control the controllables and these things you really can’t do much about. “As a professional footballer, it is a big sacrifice you have to make but it is a sacrifice I’ve made and have got to deal with.” The 23-year-old is due to join up with MLS side Charlotte in the New Year but he is proving his worth to Lee Bowyer and does not hide the fact his main ambition is to play in Europe. He said: “I came from the A League in Australia and coming here, I’ve been exposed to a physical, quick, tactical game. “It is a little bit of a step up and so the more I’ve experienced it, the better I have gotten. “As a youngster growing up in Australia, this is ultimately where you want to have a good career.” Blackpool were undone at St Andrew’s by a late Lukas Jutkiewicz goal, despite dominating for the first half. Seasiders midfielder Kenny Dougall said: “I’ll be glad to see the back of November. “That’s five without a win for us in the league, three draws, two losses. “Whether you are fighting for promotion or relegation, it is poor.” SACRIFICE: McGree
