T’ball: 07 Poor in routine care wait People in poorer parts of England face longer waits for routine NHS care. The NHS has been told by a watchdog to make sure those waiting have support while the treatment backlog is cleared. Sir Robert Francis, of Healthwatch England, said: “With more emphasis on interim support, such as physiotherapy, pain relief and mental health support, we can make the experience of waiting more bearable.” The King’s Fund health think tank revealed that the backlog has grown to 5.61million people. Pensions £300 rise expected OAPS are set for a boost of more than £300 a year to their pension. Experts are expecting a rise above the rate of inflation of 3.3%. That will see pensioners pocket an extra £6 a week – £312 a year – becoming one of the largest increases on record. The weekly pay day for those who retired after April 2016 will jump from £179.60 to £185.55. Helen Morrissey, pensions analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the rise will be welcomed. She added: “We’ve had a couple that have been higher – once it was 5.2% – but that was almost 10 years ago.” ‘Knifing’ quiz for soldiers Nine British soldiers could be questioned over the murder of a Kenyan woman. The body of Agnes Wanjiru, 21, was found in a septic tank at a hotel in Nanyuki, close to a UK Army base, two months after she disappeared in March 2012. A fresh inquiry has been launched after an inquest delayed to 2019 found Ms Wanjiru, who died of stab wounds, was unlawfully killed. The sex worker was last seen leaving the hotel’s bar with a British soldier. The MoD said it was “in discussions with the Kenyan authorities to determine what support is needed”.

But Ms Rayner said she would only apologise if Boris Johnson said sorry for past comments he made “that are homophobic, that are racist, that are misogynistic”.

DS1ST DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 5 ..including OUR patience SHORTAGE! bog roll bandits wary of wipe-out ANGRY motorists claim petrol prices have rocketed by up to 15p amid the panic-buying crisis. They accused fuel suppliers of profiteering as they desperately tried to fill up. Watchdogs last night called on the Government to send in the Army to deliver supplies. One garage was caught charging £1.98 a litre for unleaded – which was selling for £1.35 before the crisis hit. Comic Paul Chuckle, 73, said he was charged £1.54 a litre at a Texaco garage on the A1 while signs were advertising £1.39. ■■ by JERRY LAWTON The Chuckle Brothers star tweeted: “Disgusting. Oh dear oh dear, not like me to rant. @BorisJohnson. Please get lorry drivers back.’’ FairFuelUK, which is campaigning for a regulator to monitor forecourt prices, said its 1.7million followers had reported fuel hikes across Britain. Founder Howard Cox blamed the Government for ignoring the lorry driver shortage, saying: “They are clueless to all road user transport requirements. And the worst part is that the fuel supply chain is Petrol giants taking pee by upping prices as cars queue going to be profiteering.’’ He said the Government’s plan to offer 5,000 EU visas to foreign truckers was a good initiative but would be “like a raindrop in an ocean”. He added: “It is time to call in the military.” A spokesman for the UK Petroleum Industry Association – which represents fuel providers – said motorists were protected on petrol pricing by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. He added: “Your readers may wish to raise any concerns through local Trading Standards officers, who may investigate if they believe such rights are not being delivered.” Last night Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said competition law has been temporarily suspended to allow oil companies to target fuel stations running low on supplies. He said: “We have long-standing contingency plans in place.” ●Howard Cox’s home in Kent has been besieged by drivers after pranksters registered it as a Shell garage on GoogleMaps.

The Star Says: Page 6 jerry.lawton@dailystar.co.uk SHOCKED: Paul Chuckle PEOPLE have learned lessons from emptying shelves by stockpiling in lockdown – with most refusing to panic-buy. Rick Tellez, of supply chain logistics firm KlearNow, said most people want to do the “right thing” by sticking to normal shopping. A survey found that 64% of UK shoppers are resigned to missing out this Christmas due to shortages – but 52% are refusing to stockpile like they did previously. Mr Tellez said: “Most consumers understand that stockpiling is unnecessary and lockdown taught us all some valuable lessons. “But it only takes a tiny minority of consumers to panic to make it look like there’s a national crisis, which is when things begin to escalate.” Ofgem lifeline to 580k Ofgem has appointed Octopus Energy to take on Avro’s 580,000 customers after the supplier collapsed last week. The energy regulator said Octopus had been chosen to get the best deal for Avro’s clients. Gillian Cooper, head of energy policy for Citizens Advice, said: “Having a new supplier should remove some uncertainty for Avro Energy’s customers. “Their credit balances will be carried over and Octopus Energy will let them know what their new tariff will be.”

6 DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 Says Greedy in fuel farce GREEDY firms always work out how to exploit a crisis. And this fuel farce has proved no different. Unscrupulous petrol suppliers have been accused of profiteering from the pandemonium. They have been raising prices by as much as 15p in two hours as desperate motorists queue in their droves at forecourts. There are even suggestions prices are going up so quick that some drivers are being charged more than what’s advertised outside. It’s an absolute scandal. These rip-off merchants must not be allowed to cash in on our misery. The cost of living is going up so much, so quickly due to a range of global factors. And there’s no excuse for these shysters to be allowed to make hay while the sun isn’t shining. The floundering Government must intervene against such foul practice. This isn’t how a kind world operates. Pubs face last orders PUBS are the lifeblood of this country. And they must be protected at all costs. But they are being hit by horrendous pressures. Soaring business rates, crippling VAT and sky-rocketing draught beer duty have left thousands more boozers facing extinction. What a dreadfully sorry situation. Especially when it feels like we’ve just got them back properly. The industry has been through so much over the past few years. Ministers and big breweries must come up with a proper plan to save them fast. Jez cheek JEREMY Paxman has suggested a woman’s domain is the kitchen – and a bloke’s is the shed.

DS1ST £350k cop net ‘shame’ COPS have slammed bosses for spending £350,000 a year on an Instagram account for teenagers. The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) is splashing the cash on YourPolice.uk, which has been called an “embarrassment” by officers. One unnamed cop said: “Should NPCC be spending £350k a year to run an account which promotes such things as rainbow cars and calls it ‘youth engagement’? “Wouldn’t such money be better used by beat teams to help intervene in the mass youth violence?” The account only has 19,400 followers. Issue sellers go Big The Big Issue has put 30 of its vendors in charge of the magazine for its 30th anniversary. The front cover has been designed by Rich Rowe, a London-based Big Issue seller and artist. Big Issue ambassador, Christopher Eccleston, who provided the voiceover for a video, said: “This showcases the important work the organisation does, and what it means for the vendors and why supporting the work they do is so important.” Editor Paul McNamee said: “A proper way to mark the occasion was to offer vendors the platform to share their passions.” Plants’ health booster DOCTORS should be prescribing house plants, gardening and exercise, according to the President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Dr Adrian James believes GPs will increasingly turn to so-called “social prescribing” as a sustainable way of treating mental and physical wellbeing. Dr James said: “I don’t think we can replace conventional treatment but so-called social prescribing of this kind is about perhaps nurturing a living thing and giving your own life some meaning. “There is lots of research that links plants with mental and physical wellbeing.” ‘Brassic’ monkey weather ★BRASSIC actress Michelle Keegan prepares for the chilly onset of autumn.

A perfect storm of crippling business rates, soaring VAT and sky-high duty on beer threatens the future of the great British boozer, said Institute of Innkeeping chief Steve Alton. He fumed: “If the Government does not recog- ■■ by MARC WALKER nise the support that is desperately needed by our fragile small businesses in the coming weeks and months, there is a very real danger of widespread business failure.” Mr Alton added that 84% of his members’ summer trading sunk below 2019 levels, with more than half a whopping 75% down compared to before the pandemic. It is feared more than 50% will only break even at best. The sector lost 1,930 venues in 2020 – the equivalent of 37 a week – with £13.9billion wiped off the total market value, found the Pub & Bar Market Report 2021. It came as industry confidence hit rock bottom with three-quarters of pub landlords, as played by comedian Al Murray, likely to raise prices due to shortages and spiralling costs.

SIX TOASTING 10 BACKSTAGE With Jamiroquai TO mark its 25th anniversary Jay Kay is reissuing his band’s huge third album Travelling Without Moving as a double heavyweight 180g yellow vinyl with brand-new sleeve notes on December 17. He reflects on a very time different when funk and pop went hand in hand. When you emerged there was a British soul and funk scene – feels like that has eroded today? “The scene is sadly less visible than it was, much more underground these days, Eddie Piller still plays the stuff that inspired the movement though.” In many ways the album’s first hit Virtual Insanity predicted our 21st Century lives. “The world is different now – scary military A.I. machines, crackpot multi billionaires, a world that seems to be run by giant tech companies. I’m not sure how much this is going forwards, it seems to be going backwards in a lot of senses.” 25 years is older than some of the funk and disco music you were referencing when the album first came out. “Things go round in circles, a lot of the people that listen to me probably haven’t listened to the stuff that I grew up with, so everything goes in circles. “We have our own sound, you know it’s a Jamiroquai record when you hear one, but, like everything else, nothing is truly original, everything starts from somewhere and everything has been done before, but in a slightly different way.” You showed off your old trainer collection recently – what else have you hoarded from this era? “Even more Adidas tops and a lot of motor cars.” BRIT rockers You Me At Six are toasting 10 years of their much-loved third album Sinners Never Sleep with an expanded edition and some very big shows. The band release a coloured vinyl 3LP set featuring the SNS LP, the 2012 The Final Night Of Sin At Wembley Arena album, and a third LP of unreleased rarities on May 27 next year. To accompany the release they have announced two huge outdoor gigs at Leeds Temple Newsam on June 1 and Hatfield Park (June 2) with pre-sale for tickets available Wednesday. 8612 7453 or email james.cabooter@dailystar.co.uk

Covid-19 has caused the biggest dip since World War Two, according to a University of Oxford study of 29 countries. Co-lead author Dr Jose Manuel Aburto said: “In 22 countries included in our study they experienced larger losses than half a year in 2020. “For Western European countries such as Spain, England and Wales, Italy, and Belgium, the last time such large magnitudes of declines in life expectancy at birth were observed in a single year was during World War Two.” “Females in eight countries and males in 11 countries experienced losses larger than a year. To contextualize, it took 5.6 years for these countries to achieve a one-year increase in life expectancy recently – wiped out in 2020 by Covid.” Life expectancy refers to the average age a newborn lives to under current death rates. At the 2020 death rate, English and Welsh men aged 60 would live 1.04 years less than in 2019 – and those born in 2020 1.15 years less. Women fare slightly better with 60-year-olds in 2020 losing 0.88 of a year compared to 2019. Newborn girls would live 0.91 of a year less. Co-lead author Dr Ridhi Kashyap added: “While there are issues linked to the counting of Covid deaths, the fact our results highlight such a large impact that is directly attributable shows how devastating it has been for many countries.” news@dailystar.co.uk UP TO

Hence when a new priest, Father Paul (Hamish Linklater), suddenly shows up, seemingly out of the blue, they’re unsettled. Are they right to be? This charismatic newcomer assures them that their regular priest, an old fellow in his 80s, has simply been taken unwell and is undergoing treatment on the mainland. There’s nothing to worry about, he insists. But is that true? When all kinds of apparent miracles take place, the locals’ religious zeal intensifies. And as the weirdness escalates (be patient, it does take quite a while), we wonder in particular about its impact on a troubled soul called Riley (Zach Gilford), a character we’ve met at the very start. A former altar boy, he has just been released from jail, having served four years for doing something really bad. Struggling to make sense of where his life goes next, Riley seems sure of only one thing – that he no longer believes in God. Given what’s coming, this could prove rather interesting.

South Gloucestershire Conservative counciller Ben Burton said: “I urge Mayor Norris to place the climate emergency above photos of him, and quite often photos of him and his dog.” The party claim it is due to “reels of high-resolution pictures” of the mayor.

Offer closes 31st October 2021. James Innes, best-selling careers author and founder of The CV Centre, solves your work problems... Not too old for new job Dear James, I feel stuck in a rut in my job – but am I too old to embark on a new career? I’ve been working in local media for most of my professional life, but feel I’d like to try something new. But I’m 39 and I’m not even sure what it is I’d like to do, never mind making a whole career switch at my age. Am I living in cloud cuckoo land to think about starting afresh? Ben, 39, Maidenhead James says: I have to admit Ben, you did make me chuckle saying “at my age”. You’re only 39! I routinely assist people in their 40s and 50s looking to embark on a major change of direction. No, you’re not “living in cloud cuckoo land” to want a change but you do have to be reasonably realistic as to what is likely to be appropriate for If you’re trying to change career path, you might be better served by a CV emphasising your skills and experience rather than a chronological CV, which details your work history. HOPE: Changing careers in 30s you with the experience you have. Beyond that, you need to be able to position yourself carefully so that any potential employer or recruiter is able to look past the fact that you’ve spent two decades in a different line of work – which is going to be your biggest hurdle – and can see clearly how you would be able to apply what you have learned to a new challenge. So you would be well advised to declare your future career intentions in an appropriately phrased “Objective” on your CV and elaborate on that in your cover letter. REBOOTING CAREERS With retirement age going up and up all the time, most of us find ourselves in the position where we have more working years ahead of us than we do behind us – so there’s no reason why you can’t embark on a major career “reboot” at 40 or even 50! I’ve said this before and I’ll no doubt say it again – what often counts most is not the specific experience you’ve had but the key skills and abilities you have picked up along the way. All lines of work have overlaps with others to one degree or another. You need to carefully break down and analyse your own personal skill set and assess what other lines of work would enable you to bring these skills to bear. Got a question for James?

DS1ST DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 21 Crisis in legal aid Every doggy gone surfin’ TENS of millions of people are unable to get legal aid to help with benefits, care and education problems. There are “catastrophic legal aid deserts” across England and Wales, a Law Society report found. Some 52million have no access to publicly funded legal advice for decisions involving education. And 47m have no cover to challenge benefits decisions while 40m have none for decisions on social care in the community. Law Society president I Stephanie Boyce said: “The Government must commit in the upcoming spending review to fund the legal aid system properly.” Can you guess the year from these five clues? 1. US rock and roll singer Eddie Cochran is killed in a car crash in Wiltshire. 2. The first British Army-organised Ten Tors expedition takes place on Dartmoor. 3. Final journey... the Sheffield Tramway is closed leaving Blackpool as the only place in England with electric trams. 4. Albert Finney kitchen sink drama Saturday Night And Sunday Morning is released. 5. TV chef Nigella Lawson is born in London, the daughter of Conservative MP Nigel Lawson. No Googling! Answer in tomorrow’s paper. Friday’s year: 1982 Spider phobia app fix An app which projects a virtual spider onto the body could help people conquer their phobias of them. Training via a smartphone in the safety of your home reduces the realworld fear of spiders, according to scientists. The app, called Phobys, uses “exposure therapy” to fix debilitating phobias. Anja Zimmer, of Switzerland’s University of Basel, which did trials with 66 phobia patients, said: “It’s easier for people with a fear of spiders to face a virtual spider than a real one.” Pictures: AFP / Getty mutts make waves ★THERE are some pawsome moves as dogs ride the waves at their very own surfing competition.

Usual Suspests The IT WASN’T ME ■■ by jerry lawton PEST controllers are to use facial recognition technology to hunt down rats. Cameras at infested sites will be able to identify individual vermin. And that will allow controllers to count the number of rats targeting a location, then follow them and pick them off one-by-one. Pest control giant Rentokil Initial developed the hi-tech identification system – to be unveiled later this week – at its innovation hub in Crawley, West Sussex. It has had trials in Britain and is ready to be rolled out across the Face-reading Cams to help nail rats country. The company declared: “Pest control is going digital.’’ Boffins came up with the tech after discovering tame and aggressive – or wild – rats had different skull shapes and fur colours. The new cameras will be able to detect minute differences in individuals’ head shapes. While some people keep rats as pets and the creatures have been heroes in Hollywood films they are linked with disease. Rentokil believes rats have been responsible for more deaths than all the wars of the past 1,000 years. And there have been several recent reports of “giant rats” invading homes through lavatories. jerry.lawton@dailystar.co.uk

An estimated 1.5million homes will switch hands in the UK, boosted by stamp duty savings and workers relocating from cities, say estate agent Hamptons.

Beaky blinder How Charles Darwin’s pigeons got their beaks has finally been solved. The evolutionary biologist bred the birds in his garden as an experiment. Now scientists have identified the gene behind beak length 162 years later.

DS1ST Child’s rapist is caged A MAN who repeatedly raped a young girl has been jailed for 18 years. Darren Shillito, 40, was arrested after a relative of the victim warned police he was sexually abusing the primary school pupil. The victim’s mother said in a statement she had lost her “happy smiling little girl” because of the “relentless horrors” and that her daughter had suffered suicidal thoughts ever since. She added: “This man is a dangerous sexual predator capable of pure evil.” At Canterbury Crown Court in Kent, Shillito was convicted of three counts of raping a girl under 13 and one of sexual assault. North to get 1m saplings A MILLION new trees will be planted coast-to-coast across northern England. The Government is spending £15million on the Northern Forest project to link woodland across the M62 corridor, from Liverpool to Hull. The Woodland Trust said it will create 1,660 acres of coverage. The scheme is backed by TV presenter George Clarke, who said: “Being a northerner we are proud of some of the glorious countryside we have up here. “But it’s always surprising to me how low tree cover is. We need more trees up here for both people and wildlife.” Music creates a buzz A 400-year-old musical score based on the sound of bees has inspired a major art exhibition. The choral piece was written by Elizabethan beekeeper Charles Butler. His four-part vocal harmony mimics a sound known as piping, which queen bees make during their development. Now, artist Angelica Mesiti has edited the score to produce her own sound installation, The Swarming Song, at the University of Edinburgh. She said the work examines “different ways of thinking about how information is exchanged and communication is made in other worlds outside of the human one”. ■CLASSICS: A Dakota flanked by two Spitfires ■BLAST FROM PAST: Lancaster bomber DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 23 A flight to behold ■ICONIC planes grace the sky again as they take wing at the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight members’ day.

WIDOW HOUNDED FOR £60 PENSION PROUD PAIR: David wears medals with wife ■■ by SARAH LUMLEY THE MoD sent a D-Day hero’s 91-year-old widow a demand to repay a pension overpayment of £61.17, a family claims. Jobsworth officials told Diane Edwards the cash was owed because David, who died last November, was only alive for three weeks of the month the War Disablement pension payment covered. David passed away aged 95, more than 75 years after fighting to free France from the Nazis in 1944. Mr Edwards’ son Chris, from Aberthaw, south Wales, said: “It’s so petty, that amount of money is not going to change the state of this D-Day hero’s ‘petty’ bill country. Why not take it from criminal payments, from those who have had to pay a fine through the court system? Not from someone who fought for their country. “I’m also annoyed they sent a letter like that to my mum, who is of the generation who reads that money is owed and instantly worries the bailiffs will turn up.” David was a soldier HERO: David in the war Pictures: Bav Media with the 2nd Battalion Monmouthshire Regiment, 53rd Welsh Division. He was shot in the leg in 1944 but returned to the front line to fight on into the Netherlands and Germany. Chris, 63, added: “My mum has written out the cheque for the money but I’m holding on to it for now.” A spokesman for the MoD said: “We are currently looking into the details of this case.” news@dailystar.co.uk

Is this what our country has turned into, greedy and selfish people who haven’t the brains of a slug. Shortage of HGV drivers, the solution is very simple you incompetent Government, the Army is awash with HGV drivers. For God’s sake Bozo Boris put them to assisting our country and forget about bailing other countries out.

34 DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 JUST JANE DS1ST JANE O’GORMAN SOLVES YOUR PROBLEMS TODAY ... AND EVERY DAY I’m just too big for her MY girl says my penis is too big. She won’t be having full intercourse with me again because it’s too uncomfortable. Instead, we’ll have to make do with “other types of stimulation”. But I don’t want to “make do” with anything. I’ve had loads of girlfriends and know that I’m no monster. I’m a perfectly normal size. Her problem is she’s too lazy for full sex – it’s too much of a faff. She can’t be bothered to get naked or put any effort into the physical side of our relationship. But what she’s offering isn’t going to be good enough for me. How dare she make me feel freakish? JANE SAYS: Calm down and ask for a conversation away from the bedroom. If your girlfriend genuinely finds sex painful, then encourage her to speak to her GP as a matter of urgency. If there’s a problem with lubrication or simply not enough foreplay, then discuss changing how you make love as it’s possible you’ve both fallen into lazy habits. However, if she really isn’t interested in full intercourse because she can’t be bothered, then is this where you have to part company? JANE'S FAB ADVICE LINES *Calls 09057893400 Super sex 09057893401 Brilliant orgasms 09057893402 Is that kinky? 09057893403 Erection problems? I snapped my girl snogging her ‘ex’ SHE HAS DENIED A FLING I’m convinced my girlfriend is still sleeping with her ex. I recently spotted her snogging him outside his parents’ house. I rang her mobile. She glanced at the screen – and declined my call. Later she claimed that she’d been at work all day. I showed her the pictures I’d taken of them laughing and groping, and she accused me of being a stalker. Apparently, I’d got it “all wrong”. Now I’ve collected even more evidence that proves that she often stays at his family home. I’m sick of being jerked around. Money The other day we had another massive row. Eventually, she admitted she has to keep him sweet and can’t risk falling out with his family as there are still money issues surrounding a flat and a floral business they used to own together. She claims that any time she sees him it’s only to go through accounts and bills. But can I believe that? Who stays up all night checking invoices? She claims to love me and asks me to be patient, but I can’t help feeling used. I have a decent flat and healthy income. She likes living here (rent free) and is grateful when I buy good food and take her to SHOCKING: He spotted her in a clinch with her ex but she says there’s nothing going on interesting places. Our sex life is thrilling, and I genuinely believe that – when we’re alone together – she likes and appreciates me. It’s when she walks out of my door that the trouble starts. She seems to be able to simply switch off. I’ve accused her of being in love with two men, which she denies. All I want is for her to commit herself to me. I’ve asked her how long these “financial problems” with her ex are going to take and she says that she doesn’t know. I feel as though I’m in limbo.

She can spin it any way she likes, but you’ve actually seen her snogging her (supposed) ex-boyfriend. You also have evidence that she’s stayed overnight at his parents’ place. I understand that you really like her and want her to be yours, but how much lying and backstabbing are you prepared to put up with?

Picture posed by models her ex, so some clearing up of paperwork is to be expected, especially if the business bombed. But whatever happened to office hours? If her ex is now down on his luck having lost his home and company, then is she with you because she respects you – or because you provide free stuff? From where I’m sitting it seems that she’s still very involved with her ex. Don’t allow yourself to be used. You have to accept that she can’t keep away from him. Savings so over the top My girlfriend’s “brilliant” money saving schemes have gone too far. I’m all for watching the pennies but draw the line at sharing bath water, re-using tea bags three times and only being allowed to flush the loo “when necessary”. I don’t mind a bit of out-of-date food but she recently tried to palm me off with cream cheese that was so mouldy it was furry and bright green. I earn decent money and I am very aware of environmental issues, but she always has to go over the top. JANE SAYS: There’s no denying that we all need to do our bit to save the planet and avoid waste, but not at the expense of our health. Eating mouldy food could lead to diarrhoea and vomiting. Continue to trust your instincts and say no to anything that doesn’t feel right. Sit down and thrash out some acceptable house rules before the winter sets in, and consider reasonable budgets and identify areas where corners can be cut. She also has to understand that you have opinions and a voice. He wants me in weird sect My boyfriend keeps changing religion. When we met, he was heavily involved in the local church but then he fell out with the vicar. Since then, he’s tried at least four other faiths but still hasn’t found what he’s looking for. His latest sect is very weird and I’m angry that he’s trying to recruit me into it. JANE SAYS: Your guy has to hear that he’s free to join whichever flock, but you’ll make up your own mind, thank you. Leave him in no doubt you will not be ground down. If he continues to badger, then point out that this could become a relationship breaker. Would he benefit from professional counselling?

hURRICANE in paris DS1ST ■FAST LANE: Hurricane Lane will be ridden by James Doyle DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 37 12 PAGES OF FANTASTIC START WITH horse racing Leger winner’s Arc green light JAMES DOYLE will partner St Leger hero Hurricane Lane when he lines up with stablemate Adayar in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Charlie Appleby, the trainer of both colts for Godolphin, confirmed Hurricane Lane would definitely run in Paris. And the trainer (right) cannot separate the pair, saying both have outstanding credentials. “I’m very pleased with both horses this morning,” Appleby said yesterday. “As we know, Adayar (the Derby and King George winner) met with that setback before the Arc trials and missed two pieces of work, which we felt was enough to make us not go to the trials. “As we said before he’s a horse that didn’t need to earn his stripes.” B - Bath H - Hamilton Na - Newton Abbot Nc - Newcastle Abnaa......................Nc 7.30 Above It All...............B 1.50 Achy Breaky Heart.Na 3.10 Afandem...................H 1.40 Air Of York................B 4.30 Al Erayg....................H 3.20 Alambrista................B 5.35 Aleef........................Nc 7.00 Alkademon.............Na 3.10 Allen Key................Nc 6.30 Amazon Prince......Nc 6.00 Ancient Times..........B 5.00 Another Angel........Nc 7.00 Aone Ally..................H 3.50 Apache Jewel..........B 4.00 Aradena..................Nc 4.55 Archimedes............Nc 7.30 Arnold.....................Nc 7.00 Arty Campbell........Na 1.00 Aunt Bethany.........Nc 5.30 Ayr Empress...........Nc 4.55 Backstage..............Nc 6.30 Ballinsker................Na 4.12 PERRy BARR SHEFFIELd dONCASTER RPGTV Bari Breeze.............Na 2.05 Bashosh....................H 2.45 Bearwith...................B 4.30 Bicep.........................B 1.50 Big Business..........Na 1.00 Blistering Barney.....H 4.20 Blue Hero.................B 4.30 Bluebell Way............B 1.50 Bullion.....................Na 1.00 Bullsempire............Na 1.00 Caballero..................H 3.20 Canford Star...........Na 1.30 Cappananty Con......B 3.30 Card High.................H 4.20 Carp Kid...................B 2.55 Casi Crudo...............B 2.25 Cayman Moon........Nc 4.55 Chichen Itza...........Nc 5.30 Chinese Spirit..........H 3.50 Churchill College...Nc 6.00 Clay Regazzoni........H 3.50 Coeur De Coeurs...Nc 5.30 Confils.......................B 2.55 Control Me.............Na 1.00 Cool Dandy............Nc 8.00 Coronation Cottage.B 3.30 GREYHOUNDS 11.36 WALMLEY KODI (6)...........

And Appleby added: “James was in the saddle for the first time on Saturday when Hurricane Lane exercised and he couldn’t have been any happier – he moved well and did his usual work. “They are two exciting horses with two different profiles and with the way the forecast looks at the moment, it looks as if there’s going to be a bit of rain – 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.

Amazing Alpinista ■■ by CHRIS GOULDING ALPINISTA again showed her liking for Cologne when the Sir Mark Prescott-trained filly was successful at the German track yesterday in the hands of Luke Morris. The four-year-old was adding to last month’s success at the racecourse when taking the Group One Preis von Europa. Germany certainly brings out the best in the daughter of Frankel as she had also celebrated success in a Group One at Hoppegarten in August. Dermot Weld’s dual Classic heroine Search For A Song, winner of the Irish St. Leger in 2019 and 2020, returned to her best form with an impressive success in the Group Three Raa Atoll Loughbrown Stakes at the Curragh.

38 DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 A Kop talent MR McCANN, owned by current and former Liverpool players booked his ticket for next year’s Derby after winning at Epsom yesterday. The colt’s success in the Cazoo Derby “Wild Card” EBF Conditions Stakes gives his owners automatic entry for the Epsom Classic, although it does not guarantee a run. The two-year-old, named after Liverpool’s press officer, Matt McCann, received a 66-1 quote from Paddy Power for the Derby. Winning rider Richard Kingscote said: “He knows the drill and is very professional.

40 DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 Alex bids to be the greatest ■■ by GARY HITCHCOCK Alexander Volkanovski was in one of the best fights of all time at UFC 266 on Saturday – and now he wants to go down as the bantamweight greatest of all time. The Aussie successfully retained his title by unanimous decision against Brian Ortega in a five-round thriller at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Although he dominated on the scorecards, Volkanovski had to fend off two close submission attempts in a highlight reel round three, before a bruised and blooded Ortega battled to the end. Volkanovski, having extended his winning streak to 20 fights, said: “Coming back after the fight and hearing everyone was blown away and saying, ‘Fight of the year’, and all that type of stuff, I am glad it was like that. “Obviously I wanted a finish, as I was telling everyone I would finish him, but he showed heart. “I am not far from GOAT status in this division.” f1: russian grand prix DS1ST SHORTS Tall order for Rich ■ RUGBY UNION RICHARD COCKERILL has no problem taking orders from Eddie Jones. Jones hired Cockerill to put fire back into England’s forward pack after a poor Six Nations. Cockerill said: “I’m very good at taking orders.

HE’s lewis hamil Just when it seemed a young British upstart would rain on Lewis Hamilton’s parade, the seven-time world champion got help from the heavens. There were only five laps left 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 and racing intelligence, 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 onto the 100th chequered flag of his record-breaking 15-season 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 reemerged the rain was heavy and Norris was nudging his car round the track, unable to find traction. That massive lead, along with his hopes of a richly deserved 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 – even if his bad luck Grand Prix wins in a career 100 Lewis Hamilton 91 Michael Schumacher 53 Sebastian Vettel 51 Alain Prost 41 Ayrton Senna 32 Fernando Alonso 31 Nigel Mansell 27 Jackie Stewart 25 JIm Clark 25 Niki Lauda 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 hell-bent on making Star notches big milestone with cheeky takeaway from Lando ■■ by KEITH WEBSTER up for his own errors in qualifying on Saturday that left him down in fourth on the grid. He said: “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 but the heartbreak of having the weather snatch a famous win from his grasp was clear to see. He said: “I don’t know where to start. “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. I’ve felt like 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.” DS1ST ton ■CENTURY NOT OUT: Lewis Hamilton smiles and gives a consolation pat to Lando Norris and (left) a montage of his 100 victories HOW THEY FINISHED Pos Grid Driver Team Laps Time Pts 1 (4) L Hamilton (GB) Mercedes 53 1:30:41.001 25 2 (20) M Verstappen (Hol) Red Bull 53 +53.271secs 18 3 (2) C Sainz Jnr (Spa) Ferrari 53 +1:02.475 15 4 (5) D Ricciardo (Aus) McLaren 53 +1:05.607 12 5 (16) V Bottas (Fin) Mercedes 53 +1:07.533 10 6 (6) F Alonso (Spa) Alpine 53 +1:21.321 8 7 (1) L Norris (GB) McLaren 53 +1:27.224 7 8 (13) K Raikkonen (Fin) Alfa Romeo 53 +1:28.955 4 9 (8) S Perez (Mex) Red Bull 53 +1:30.076 2 10 (3) G Russell (GB) Williams 53 +1:40.551 1 Drivers’ Championship CONSTRUCTORS 1 L Hamilton (GB) 246.5pts 2 M Verstappen (Hol) 244.5 3 V Bottas (Fin) 151 4 L Norris (GB) 139 5 S Perez (Mex) 120 6 C Sainz Jnr (Spa) 112.5 7 C Leclerc (Mon) 104 8 D Ricciardo (Aus) 95 9 P Gasly (Fra) 66 10 F Alonso (Spa) 58 1 Mercedes 397.5pts 2 Red Bull 364.5 3 McLaren 234 4 Ferrari 216.5 5 Alpine 103 6 AlphaTauri 84 7 Aston Martin 59 8 Williams 23 9 Alfa Romeo 7 10 Haas 0 DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 41 Toprak goes twice as pie TURKEY’S Toprak Razgatlioglu extended his World Superbike Championship points lead with two wins at Jerez yesterday. It came on a weekend marred with tragedy after the death on Saturday of Dean Berta Vinales, 15, in the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship race at the Spanish track. Razgatlioglu beat defending champion Jonathan Rea by 1.225secs in the opener after passing the Kawasaki man on lap 14. Rea’s fellow Brit Scott Redding took third.

The pole-sitter had to get the better of Tom Ingram’s Hyundai with a late surge through Brooklands in the opening race before a more routine triumph followed in the second bout. Butcher said: “It has been a brilliant clean sweep so far. I knew that I wasn’t going to get the lead off the line in race one. “But it was nice to have the pace to get back on to Tom’s bumper and get past him. “These are great results for the team.

Bridewell (inset) dominated the second day of racing to go third in the title chase. O’Halloran dropped to second behind his McAMS Yamaha team-mate Taz Mackenzie.

42 DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 DS1ST WAne gets bossy ■■ by GARETH WALKER SHAUN WANE has had England 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 national rugby league boss in February last year, a 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 during a frustrating 12 months. Wane said: “I’ve spoken to Gareth EUROPE WALLOPED AT & red CHAT: Wane (left) and Gareth Southgate Southgate, and it’s a four players each from positive that the coach top two Catalans and of the biggest sport in St Helens have been our country is happy named in the Super to talk to me.

It was as animated as he had been all week. The frustrations of his desperate performance came out in one airpunch – later, they would come out in a succession of teary interviews. He knew his 3&2 win over Xander Schauffele in the first singles match of the final star-spangled procession was meaningless as the scoreboard gain showed up a sea of red. Behind him, the tame European handover was in full swing. It was a result which the Northern Ireland ace 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 Bryson DeChambeau. McIlroy was always in charge of his game but as he saw the scoreboards 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 Rory’s rough ride as US storm to victory ■■ from ANDY DUNN at Whistling Straits 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 green. Of course, he was not the only one to show up without his A game. Or even B game. But McIlroy was one of those Europeans ■ GREAT SCOTTIE: Scheffler’s joy who was supposed to fight American 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 – 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 the 43rd Ryder Cup seemed oddly low-key. But the truth, obviously, 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 looked either past their career best or badly out of nick. Mix that with a collection of young American players who dominate the upper echelons of the world rankings and you have a cocktail that could lead to United States Ryder Cup 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 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.

WHISTLING STRAITS BURIED ■SOB STORY: McIlroy is consoled by Shane Lowry ■NO GLORY FOR RORY: McIlroy was back on form yesterday but it was too little too late It’s the Cryder Cup for McIlroy From Back Page by the 16th green. “I love my team-mates so much and I should have done more for them this week,” said McIlroy. “I am glad I got a point on the board for Europe today but I just can’t wait to get another shot at this. “I don’t think there’s any greater privilege to be a part of one of these teams. “It is by far the best experience in golf. “I have never really cried or got emotional over what I’ve done as an individual. I couldn’t give a ****. But this team, to see Sergio break records, to see Jon Rahm come into his own this week, to see one of my best friends, Shane Lowry, make his Ryder Cup debut. “I’m disappointed that I didn’t contribute more this week. I am glad I got a point on the board.” Trailing 11-5 coming into the final day, Europe needed an even bigger reversal than the Miracle of Medinah. But after McIlroy claimed the first point of the day, the USA DS1ST won the next three matches to get to 14 points before Morikawa halved his match with Viktor Hovland. “It means so much,” said the American. “To clinch this and bring the cup to home soil feels so good.” Dustin Johnson, the oldest player in the young USA team at the age of 37, finished as top points scorer. Ian Poulter fought back the tears after he maintained his unbeaten singles record in probably his final Ryder Cup by beating Tony Finau 3&2. ■ AMERICAN DREAM: Morikawa and DeChambeau DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 43 UNDEFEATED: Cantlay Pat warns of future Euro pain ■■ from NEIL SQUIRES at Whistling Straits PATRICK CANTLAY has told Europe the outstanding United States side is going to be around for a long time. Cantlay saw off Shane Lowry in the second singles match yesterday to ensure he finished the Ryder Cup undefeated. And with America’s other young guns too hot for Europe to handle, the FedExCup champion says there is more pain ahead. “I woke up this morning and I was trying to tell the guys this is going to be the next era of the Ryder Cup team for the US side. We have a lot of young guys and I think they are going to be on teams for a long time and I wanted to send a message,” said the 29-yearold Californian. “I think the young guys on this team get along really well. Everybody gets along. “We have played golf together since we were teenagers so it is great. The atmosphere is light but everyone has that killer instinct and we are going to bring that to future Cups.” Cantlay finished off Lowry at the 16th with a run of three successive birdies after the Irish rookie had fought back after the turn to one down. “He charged at me in the middle of the match which is what I expected,” said Cantlay. “I expected him to fight and he did but I played really well and hit some nice shots coming down the last couple of holes.” Much was made of potential cracks in the US team ahead of the contest with Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka at loggerheads but the two alpha males of the side buried the hatchet for the week. “We all came together as a team,” said DeChambeau. “Even though we are competitors each week we had amazing unity this week.”

Okolie floored Prasovic in the second before finishing off his mandatory challenger with a body shot in the third to improve his record to 17-0.

DS1ST DAILY STAR, Monday, September 27, 2021 45 can’t stop the usyk ■ Ukrainian is class apart leaving AJ ■■ by JEREMY CROSS ANTHONY JOSHUA started planning his revenge mission even before he’d made it back to the dressing room to lick his gaping wounds. But the dethroned king of heavyweight boxing knows he might face mission impossible when it comes to taking back his crown from successor Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukranian genius produced one of the all-time great performances to leave Joshua humbled and humiliated in front of 66,000 shell-shocked fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Usyk schooled his younger and bigger rival from start to finish with a masterclass of speed and intelligence that left Joshua battered, bruised and broken. Only the final bell spared Joshua the humiliation of being knocked out as he clung to the ropes punch-drunk from the barrage of blows the relentless Usyk rained down on him. Usyk rarely looked troubled as he extended his perfect record to 19-0, while inflicting on Joshua just the second defeat of his glittering career, with the judges’ cards all in Usyk’s favour at 117- 112, 116-112 and 115-113. The good news for Joshua is that a rematch early next year gives him the chance to win back his belts. The bad news is that, on the evidence of Saturday night, Joshua has some serious work to do when it comes to fathoming out how to beat someone capable of producing boxing perfection. Joshua was certainly talking a good game in the aftermath of this loss that will surely cost him the chance of a mega fight with UK rival Tyson Fury. But he appeared to be in denial when claiming the defeat was “progress”. He said: “Well done to the winner, but we’ll be back again. We’ll get back into training. It was a great experience and we have progressed once again. “We have to take the loss, but we’ll get it right. In the ninth, I couldn’t see anything. It was a great experience because in adversity, you’ve just got to learn to control yourself, stay on top of things. “After my eye went in the ninth round, it was a great lesson. I’m still learning this game and it’s part of the process. “I’m going back to look at ways I can improve, straight away. I’ve already a real test in rematch ■BELTING SHOW: Oleksandr Usyk with his rewards ■UKRAINE-ING MEN: Usyk gets congratulations from ex-champ Vitali Klitschko (left) and football legend Andriy Shevchenko looked at the fight. That’s what I’m putting my energy into, I’m not putting my energy into sulking. When I walked back through the tunnel, I said to myself, ‘I’m ready to get back into the gym’. “I believe I will get a good win in the next fight because of what I did in this fight. I’m a quick learner and I’ll bounce back. “If this was the end of the story, I’d be more emotional, but I trust in my process, good or bad.” Time will tell if Joshua, 31, can somehow salvage his career but Usyk, 34, taunted the Brit afterwards by insisting his rival was nothing special. Usyk has become just the third cruiserweight to become the heavyweight champion of the world after Evander Holyfield and David Haye. He said: “There were moments when Anthony pushed me hard, but it was nothing special. “I can’t say if he will or won’t take the rematch but I think he probably will.” PLEDGE: AJ says ■ he will learn in time for rematch BEATEN MAN: Anthony Joshua career on knife edgE From Back Page losing all three of his world heavyweight title belts to Usyk – the Ukrainian outclassing Joshua over 12 rounds to win a unanimous points decision. The second defeat of his career has left Joshua’s hopes of a dream showdown with British rival Tyson Fury dead in the water. His promoter Eddie Hearn says Joshua has no chance of ever winning his world belts back unless he exercises the rematch clause and takes on Usyk again. The fight is expected to take place in February in the UK. Hearn said: “If he does not accept the rematch clause he will not get a chance to win his world championship back possibly ever, the way this game works. “I don’t see another option. I think he has to take it – but he will be an underdog in that rematch.” Joshua insisted: “One hundred percent, 110 percent, I want the rematch. ‘‘He still gets hit a lot and in the rematch I’ll hit him with concussive power. “I’m going to go back and look at myself. I’m not going to go home and be crying about it – because this is war. ‘‘This isn’t just one fight and I’m done.

The Blues boss accused his players of lacking belief in the 1-0 home defeat by Manchester City, but he regards a Champions League trip against Juventus as an ideal opportunity to repair the damage. Tuchel said: “It’s no problem – we don’t care who we play against, we do our thing. “It’s about making our opponents under-perform. We have the option of playing long balls up to Romelu Lukaku and without the genuine belief and confidence to use them you make poor decisions, and this is how the game went. “Then, when we played the ball into our strikers, they made bad decisions with the first contact, so you lose more and more belief. “It was not a good enough performance to deserve more. “We were not happy with how we played and the decisions we took. “In the toughest games you need to be at the very highest level in all parts of the game, and clearly we were not. “We are together, and that means we need the best level from the coach and the players. They were better than us .” Tuchel expects to know “within hours” whether England star Mason Mount, who missed the City defeat through injury, will be fit to face Juventus. Juve pair Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata have been ruled out of Wednesday’s clash. Skipper Dybala was in tears as he limped off the pitch 10 minutes after putting his side ahead in a 3-2 win over Sampdoria. And former Chelsea striker Morata was forced off late on with a hamstring problem. Boss Max Allegri said: “Dybala and Morata certainly won’t play against Chelsea or Torino. That is for certain but this is part of the game.” Report: See pullout DS1ST premier league seriously ARTETA makeS emile of it football Smith Rowe lifts Mikel as Nuno feels pressure WELCOME to the Sack Race, Nuno Espirito Santo. Mikel Arteta sends his regards. Just four weeks ago, Arsenal were about to be thrashed 5-0 by Manchester City and all the talk was about how Arteta could possibly hold on. They were bottom of the table then and had just lost three in a row. Now, they are above Tottenham in 10th having utterly destroyed their arch rivals. And it’s prickly, charmless Spurs boss Nuno staring down the barrel after this pathetic surrender. Arsenal were three-up inside 34 minutes with goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka – the quickest capitulation in Premier League north London derby history. And even though Heung-min Son pulled one back late in the second half, it’s now three league defeats on the spin for Nuno’s numpties. It all proved that Arteta might just be on to something with his policy of buying players for the future and giving the kids a chance. Smith Rowe, 21, became the youngest ■■ by paul brown arsenal 3 tottenham 1 Arsenal player to score in this fixture since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2014. Saka, 20, became the youngest to score and assist in it since Cesc Fabregas did the same in 2007. And new boy Martin Odegaard, 22, was heavily involved in both their goals as Arsenal proved their future looks as bright as Tottenham’s does bleak. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, practically a grand old man at 32, won’t be around for as long as those three but he’ll enjoy it while it lasts. Last time these two teams met he was banished to the stands for turning up late to a team meeting. But his timing was impeccable for his goal, and his workrate second to none. For 20 minutes Tottenham didn’t know what had hit them as the Gunners tore into them from every angle. Skipper Aubameyang set the tone, ■ YOUNG GUNN: Emile Smith Rowe races away in delight after he opened the scoring for Arsenal pressing Davinson Sanchez like a madman right in front of the Tottenham fans. But it was the kids who combined to fire Arsenal in front. Odegaard played Saka in down the right and Smith Rowe arrived late to meet his low cross. It was criminally poor defending from Tottenham but Arteta didn’t care as he jumped into the air in delight. Rattled, the visitors started making mistakes, with one error from Sergio Reguilon resulting in Thomas Partey testing Hugo Lloris from long range. Only then did Tottenham threaten, with Son skinning Partey at the other end and forcing Aaron Ramsdale into a top save at his near post But Smith Rowe finished off a sweeping passing move by cutting the ball back for Aubameyang to slot home first time. Tottenham already looked beyond help when Saka then made it three with 12 minutes of the first half still to go. Odegaard and Smith Rowe were again involved in the fast-break build-up and, when Harry Kane’s slide tackle bounced back to him, Saka fired home. Referee Craig Pawson waved away Tottenham appeals for a penalty when Kane went down under a clumsy tackle from Ben White. Kane was then denied by Ramsdale, and fired a oneon-one wide, before Son briefly gave Tottenham hope by turning in Reguilon’s cross. But when Ramsdale tipped a heavily deflected Lucas Moura shot off the crossbar, the game was well and truly up for Tottenham.

The former Newcastle forward, snapped up from Peterborough for a bargain £5m in 2020, has netted 35 goals in 56 games for the Bees. He is the latest forward to roll off the Brentford production line after Neal Maupay, now at Brighton, and Ollie Watkins who moved to Aston Villa and is already in Gareth Southgate’s plans. Henderson said: “Toney was great, and so was Bryan Mbeumo. We knew before the game they would both be a handful. They have proven that. “They are old school. Really good in the air, with decent feet.

The Rams went into administration last Wednesday, triggering a 12-point deduction, and they face a possible further nine-point penalty for breaching EFL financial regulations. Rooney (inset) has pledged to keep fighting – and Scottish midfielder Shinnie also vowed to battle on. Shinnie said: “He 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 here as Sheffield United struck at the death. They were on the brink of claiming a point until Billy Sharp scored a late penalty, following a Curtis Davies handball. Derby played with 10 men for more than half an ■■ by LIZ BYRNES 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. Defeat leaves Derby nine points from safety with home games coming up against Reading and Swansea. Shinnie said: “We won’t feel sorry for ourselves. “We are in a hard position but we will keep fighting. “We have two big games at Pride Park now and we will focus on those.” Sheffield United are 11th in the table after extending their unbeaten run to five games, although boss Slavisa Jokanovic refused to look too far ahead. They travel to Middlesbrough and former boss Neil Warnock tomorrow before a trip to top-of-thetable Bournemouth. Jokanovic said: “We are progressing, it’s simple. “We need to change the mentality and increase the competitiveness. “It’s different tactics for different games. “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 and what our targets are – and we must modify the way we want to play football.” ■ BRU-NO: Fernandes and Ronaldo despair after the pen miss When a manager starts looking for excuses to justify a defeat, you know the heat is on. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did just that after a loss which piled the pressure on him and served as a brutal reality check to Manchester United’s title aspirations. A third defeat in four, a second in a row at home, has intensified scrutiny on Solskjaer and emboldened those who say he is out of his depth at Old Trafford. Aston Villa deservedly took 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. Solskjaer’s claims were nothing more than diversionary tactics, designed to shift the focus away from his and United’s shortcomings which have become a recurring theme. 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 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 it is no exaggeration to state that Solskjaer will find his position gone pearshaped STAR PLAYER DOUGLAS LUIZ Full of energy and creativity STAR SHOCKER BRUNO FERNANDES Shocking pen MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ No excuses as Villa crank up pressure on Solskjaer ■■ by DAVID mcDONNELL MAN UNITED 0 ASTON VILLA 1 under increasing pressure if he cannot turn things around. On Wednesday, United host Villarreal – their bogey team, who beat them on penalties in last season’s Europa League final – with Solskjaer (inset) likely to be without three of his first-choice back-four. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is suspended, while injuries sustained against Villa to Luke Shaw and skipper Harry Maguire are likely to leave the manager having to field a makeshift back-line. Nothing less than victory over the Spanish side will do after United’s woeful recent run, but there was little here to suggest that is a given. “I know these players, I know they will fight to put this right,” said Solskjaer. “We have a Champions League game this week and we’re 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.” United had 28 shots, but posed little genuine threat to the Villa goal, and were undone once again by a set-piece, Kortney Hause heading in from a corner late on. 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 his side out of their current predicament. 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 signings 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 and uncomfortable call on one of the most popular and iconic figures in the club’s history. With the formidable squad he has now, there can be no excuses for not challenging for the title, which is why defeats like this could ultimately spell the beginning of the end for Solskjaer.

The wing-back, 25, played a key role in an unfamiliar central defensive position as Swansea secured their first home win of the season against Huddersfield. And Manning believes the only way is up for the Swans under Russell Martin. He said: “I’ve never played centre-back. “I’ve played a lot of places but now I think goalkeeper is the next one I have to tick off. “That’s our fifth clean sheet in the league this season so it’s about making the most of the chances we get, which we did. “If we do that we’ll naturally start climbing the table.” The Swans had drawn their last two home games 0-0, despite dominating. But this time they got the breakthrough on 17 minutes when Joel Piroe netted his sixth of the season. Jamie Paterson received the ball from Piroe, swivelled and played a delicate ball over the top to find the run of the Dutch striker, who grabbed the winner in style. Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan said: “I think Swansea competed better in the first half. “The more clear chances in the first half arrive from our mistakes in managing the ball. We didn’t find the solution to the way we press. “We lost the organisation in defence when they scored and that was the only moment. “The level in the Championship is high.”

The ex-Celtic midfielder inspired the Cherries to a table-topping win over Luton with two brilliant assists before revealing he is enjoying his new surroundings. Christie, branded ‘lazy’ by Celtic legend Frank McAvennie for 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 from the outside 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 Dominic Solanke, who profited from Christie’s pinpoint cross for Bournemouth’s second goal against Luton. Christie said: “It only ■RYAN MIGHTY: Christie starred against the Hatters ■■ by TOM PRENTKI took me ten minutes playing with Dom to realise how good a player he is. Obviously before I joined you’re aware of good players like him. “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 own 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. “We play an attractive style of football and that’s one of the reasons that I was desperate to come here. I’m champing at the bit to get my first goal.” 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 and Luton manager Nathan Jones labelled him a “clown”. Hatters 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.” shout to impress Bees skipper screams loud and proud over young guns PONTUS JANSSON was fuming. He was angry. He was steaming. “Stay cool,” he 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 Reds star Mo Salah missed a sitter and Bees goalkeeper David Raya pulled off another great save. The home side then equalised – and saw Ivan Toney have an effort ruled out that would have been the winner. Jansson, at 30, the old head in this young Brentford side, reckons their young stars now know they belong at this level – and believe they can take on the world. At one point in the second half, rival managers Thomas Frank of Brentford and Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool looked at each other on the touchline, shrugged and grinned. Tactics? Shape? Composure? Forget it, pal. But Bees centre-back Jansson said: “I was angry – we gave away too many chances at 2-3. “I tried to say, ‘Stay in the game and don’t give away another goal – we will always get a chance’. “I am one of the oldest players. The captain, one of the leaders. “What these young players have, I don’t have. They have something – they don’t care who they play against. “Teams, individuals, they go out and think they are one of the best players in the world.

And then Joel Matip did the same for Liverpool to deny Bryan Mbeumo. All this before Ethan Pinnock put the Bees ahead after 27 minutes. That lead lasted only four minutes, as Diogo Jota nodded the Reds level. Raya pulled off his first extraordinary save then, to deny Jota – and just after half-time he did it again, to foil the same player.

Brereton-Diaz, 22, led the rout of Cardiff, with Sam Gallagher and Tyrhys Dolan scoring the others. He will now face league games at Huddersfield and Blackpool before he’s off to play against Peru and Paraguay in World Cup qualifiers. The Potteries-born forward’s mother is from Chile and he has played five games for them, scoring once. He’s scored seven in nine games for Rovers and said: “The big thing I’ve gained in Latin America is confidence. ‘‘It’s a different style and attitude over there and it was great to play against Argentina and Brazil. ‘‘But I love it at Blackburn and I hope we can push on and establish ourselves in the top six.” Mowbray said:“All three forwards got their reward, with Ben hitting his hat-trick. ‘‘He’s a great kid, very talented and a quality footballer.” Gallagher put Rovers ahead, with Brereton-Diaz netting two before the break. Dolan made it four, Sean Morrison got a consolation for Cardiff, then Brereton- Diaz scored from the spot after keeper Dillon Phillips felled Reda Khadra. The Bluebirds have now lost three in a row and boss Mick McCarthy said: “Maybe teams have worked us out.”

6 Monday, September 27, 2021 DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME ■ANGER MANAGEMENT: Marco Silva berates an official after Palmer’s leveller against Fulham Mitrovic misses give City lifeline BRISTOL CITY 1 FULHAM 1 KASEY PALMER admitted his first thought was to check for a flag after netting City’s controversial equaliser. Fulham boss Marco Silva fumed that the midfielder was “more than a metre offside” when finding the roof of the net in the 79th minute from a narrow angle – just three minutes after going on as a substitute. 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, he said: “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 added: “Having worked with the gaffer for quite a while now, I know more about what he demands of me off the ball. “I am working to show him that I can do the defensive side. “We talk a lot, both expressing our opinions, ■■ by RICHARD LATHAM and the relationship is good.” It was a mixed game for Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic, who headed them in front on 50 minutes, but then missed several chances after Palmer had levelled. He was 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 the visitors, leading Silva to admit: “We have to be calmer 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, a 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.” ■A MIT SPECIAL: Aleksandar Mitrovic celebrates after opening the scoring for Fulham at Ashton Gate plucky jim up & running Raul back on goal trail after horror injury IT was worth the wait as Raul Jimenez’s goal gave Wolves all three points. And manager Bruno Lage 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. But yesterday it was 15th time lucky as he scored his first goal since October 2020. Jimenez even threatened to ditch his protective headband after fluffing a header in Wolves’ 2-0 win against Brentford. 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 come and enjoy the game. “They already know they need to do things well because football is about that. 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 but tomorrow is a new day.” There were plenty of empty seats at St Mary’s and those fans who stayed away will have been glad they did after two teams who looked lacking in confidence served up a dire first half. Wolves defender Nelson Semedo stung the palms of Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy with just a minute played after being sent through by Jimenez. That was as good as it got before the break for the visitors, who struggled to get into any kind of attacking rhythm despite handing South Korea striker Hee-chan ■■ by ALEX CROOK southampton 0 wolves 1 Hwang his first Premier League start. 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. Oriol Romeu blazed over the crossbar from long range before another tame 20-yard effort from Adam Armstrong was comfortably 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 restart, 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 goalkeeper since Wayne Hennessey in 2009 to claim a Premier League assist by picking out Jimenez with a long punt upfield. The striker still had plenty of work to do, outmuscling Jan Bednarek and riding a Mohammed Salisu tackle before slotting past McCarthy. Jimenez should have made the win safe in stoppage time only to be thwarted by a great save from McCarthy. ■ SHOCKING MOMENT: Jimenez suffered a fractured skull after a clash of heads at Arsenal in November 2020

With goals you give happiness to everyone – it was a special goal for Raul. “He is 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 may never play again after his horrific head injury at the Emirates Stadium almost 10 months ago and only returned to the field at the start of this campaign. Yesterday’s strike in the 1-0 win over Southampton was Jimenez’s first goal since October. He said: “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 – now we need to keep going like this.” Meanwhile, Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl blasted his shot-shy players after they failed to score in the league for the third match in a row. Hasenhuttl, waiting for his first league win of the season, 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 Premier League games without a goal and the chances have definitely been there.’’ Saints paid £15m 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.

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 an angry Warnock 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 types of things. “The reason? I think it’s education. “I’d like to see ex-players and managers actually educating referees.” Meanwhile, Reading continue to make light of their own serious problems – with 10 players and five centre-backs missing, and the threat of a points deduction looming. Croatian Alen Halilovic, whose football journey has taken him to Barcelona, Milan and Hamburg, 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’, said: “I am bigger fan of basketball. I like to watch football, but if I have to choose I pick basketball.”

The defensive duo helped Blues keep a clean sheet against Preston, with Sanderson making his home league debut after arriving on loan from Wolves. And the 21-year-old impressed at St Andrew’s having dominated the aerial battle against in-form North End striker Emil Riis Jakobsen. He also created Birmingham’s best opening of the game with a perfect cross from which Troy Deeney hit the post. Friend previously played top-flight football with Middlesbrough – and insists Sanderson has all the qualities to succeed at the top level of the game. He said: “Wolves gave him that longterm contract with that in mind. Whether it’s for Wolves or someone else, I can see him doing it. “As long as he gets the games and keeps doing what he is doing he’s on the right trajectory. “That’s why there was the hype around him pre-season. “He’s athletic and a good size for Premier League football.” The result extends Preston’s unbeaten run to six games with the Lilywhites having drawn each of their last four matches. North End centreback Patrick Bauer said: “It’s good to keep a clean sheet. “But we were the better team, we must be more ruthless in front of goal. It’s a draw at a tough place to come away to.” ■GET SHIRTY: Silva throws his shirt into the crowd at the end of the game Bernardo Silva has rediscovered his mojo as Manchester City’s pocket rocket. Strange as it seems, City were open to selling the Portugese playmaker in the summer. It’s a good job that they had second thoughts. As Chelsea’s unbeaten record was dismantled at Stamford Bridge, Silva was everywhere – and attempts to curb his energy was like trying to catch a mosquito with chopsticks. When City’s latest Champions League adventure is put to the test in the French capital tomorrow, Paris Saint-Germain royalty Lionel Messi – who remains an injury doubt – will not be the only one calling the tune on the jukebox. City messiah Pep Guardiola appreciated Silva’s contribution in this game 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 the ball or ■SAVIOUR: Jesus scores after his deflected shot found the corner of the net SILVA POLIS Bernardo has found his magic again s ■■ by MIKE WALTERS CHELSEA 0 MAN CITY 1 without the ball.

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 and decides to go the only thing I can say is that 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.

We didn’t perform on our usual level and we were punished. “This is what we have to take for the next games, to give more intensity, because to be honest in every aspect they were better than us. “We didn’t show our personality that we usually show.

Such is Lavery’s hunger for goal and desire to close down defenders, it’s no wonder he’s bagged six goals this season. And team-mate Mitchell, 24, knows first-hand how dangerous the Northern Ireland international can be. He said: “He’s a nuisance. You see him closing down all the time, I don’t know how he does it. “It’s like watching Carlos Tevez!” Lavery, 22, won it for the hosts with a sweet 32nd-minute strike. Former Manchester United youngster Mitchell added: “It was a great finish by Shane. Keshi Anderson slipped him in and it was a ten-out-of-ten finish. “Defensively we looked assured and getting forward we created chances. “The pressing from everybody was good, we’re looking solid.” Had it not been for a string of fine saves from Tykes shotstopper Brad Collins, the hosts could have won by a hatful. But Seasiders keeper Chris Maxwell produced a fine one-handed save to prevent Victor Adeboyejo from equalising.

Wing-back Lowe’s cross sailed over keeper Bartosz Bialkowski from 25 yards to cancel out Millwall’s header from Matt Smith. 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 (inset) took over the team 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. I did it last season at Sheffield. “The first thing he said to us was that he saw quality and he wanted to give us freedom and ■JUMP TO IT: Smith celebrates after opening the scoring for Millwall ■■ by JANINE SELF 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 from now.” This point was Forest’s first at home this season and the fans are fully behind the Cooper project. The ex-Swansea boss, who took England to Under-17s World Cup glory, had his parents, brother, wife and children watching on. But it is the work away from prying eyes which will decide whether he can break the Forest cycle of sacking a manager every 12 months or so. Cooper said: “I’m getting through one-to-one meetings, finding out a bit about them. I would like to think we will start to get an identity sooner rather than later. “But you have to be competitive going along while trying to build an identity on the way.” Millwall are the draw specialists of the division but boss Gary Rowett wants to upgrade to victories when his ill and injured players are back.

This was a difficult game to prepare for.” basket bawler JOSH is left frustrated by all the var hoopla JOSH KING felt like he had been playing basketball after a frantic end-to-end encounter saw VAR rule out his late Watford ‘winner’. Hornets fans reckoned it was more like Aussie Rules, however, and blamed Australian referee Jarred Gillett for that. The Premier League’s first imported official had a debut to remember on a day when both sides seemed keen to set their own 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 fired Newcastle 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. 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 colleagues, were all offside. King, the summer freebie signing, said: “We 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 get any last season for Bournemouth or Everton. At least he is providing assists and mainly for Sarr – the Senegal speedster has netted four of Watford’s seven league goals so far. “I was meant to block a player ■■ by JON WEST watford 1 newcastle 1 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 connection with Sarr – I’ve given him three now in two games.” Newcastle boss Bruce was left to rue all those missed chances, 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 (inset) was poor to say the least. Newcastle could have won by four or five and Watford manager Xisco Munoz admitted his side had been fortunate. Hornets fans vented their fury though on Gillett, the league’s first referee from outside Britain and Ireland. Not that the A-League star official, elevated after two years in the Championship, had actually cost their side – the VAR decision was spot on. The rookie, who booked seven players, made quite a few errors but Watford benefited from as many as Newcastle. Juraj Kucka wasn’t booked either for elbowing Miguel Almiron in the throat or going in late on Longstaff. Tom Cleverley escaped for two cynical assaults on Sarr. But Watford fans failed to forgive Gillett when Darlow clattered Cleverley, who had to be concussion-subbed at half-time, although VAR failed to rule a penalty. ■BASKET CASE: Josh King felt like he had been in a basketball game IMAGING clone and cuts pls STAR PLAYER SEAN LONGSTAFF Excellent display STAR SHOCKER JACOB MURPHY One great chance but blew it MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪

12 Monday, September 27, 2021 ROUND-UP DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, maddison ■ A PROPER CHARLIE: Wyke was on target for Latics richardson has got wyke stuff Leam Richardson wants his Wigan players to stay focused on the job in hand after a 2-0 win over Cheltenham kept them top of League One. An early strike from Callum Lang set Latics on their way, with Charlie Wyke drilling in another at the start of the second half. Richardson’s men are top ahead of Sunderland by goal difference and he knows more tough work is in front of them. “It was important we focused on making the chances we created count, and thankfully we were able to do that,” the Wigan boss (inset) said. “We won’t be getting carried away, though.” Sunderland kept up the pressure with a 1-0 home win over Bolton. Carl Winchester’s third goal of the campaign after 17 minutes proved enough to take all three points. Black Cats boss Lee Johnson said: “The fans roared us on. We need them.” MK Dons are third, just a point behind, after a 1-0 home win over Wycombe, who finished with 10 men. Chairboys defender Anthony Stewart saw red for hauling down Troy Parrott five minutes before the break – and the Dons frontman got up ■STADIUM OF DELIGHT: Carl Winchester scores for Sunderland to slot in from the spot. Plymouth are also on 18 points after they came from behind to beat strugglers Doncaster 2-1 at Home Park. Jordy Hiwula had fired Rovers ahead, before a penalty from Luke Jephcott levelled things up and Conor Grant won it from the spot in stoppage time. Josh Davison came off the bench to score with just three minutes left to earn Charlton a 2-2 draw against Portsmouth at The Valley. There was also late drama at Portman Road as substitute Conor Chaplin struck at the death to give Ipswich a 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday. Ten-man Morecambe and Accrington shared six goals at the Globe Arena. The Shrimps twice came from behind to earn a point with a late goal from Cole Stockton, his second of the match. Burton saw their winless run extended to seven games after a 2-1 home defeat by Lincoln, while it finished 2-2 between Cambridge and Fleetwood at the Abbey Stadium. Shrewsbury came from behind to beat Wimbledon 2-1, Gillingham and Oxford drew 1-1, while Chris Porter struck late to earn Crewe a 1-1 draw at Rotherham. smileS off But boss backs James as he battles for form ■■ by JameS NURSEY leicester 2 burnley 2 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 he was dropped to the bench for Burnley’s visit – the only casualty from Leicester’s previous league defeat at Brighton, when he was subbed at half-time. Boss Brendan Rodgers says the usually extrovert character is low on confidence, without a goal or an assist this term. When Leicester trailed 2-1 late on, Rodgers threw him on in the hope of some of his trademark creativity. Maddison buzzed around and got on the ball but it was fellow sub Kelechi Iheanacho who set Jamie Vardy free to deservedly level. Rodgers admits it is a work in progress trying to get Maddison firing again. He said: “He didn’t have a long time on the field but we wanted him on as we had them penned in and wanted 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 his ability. “Okay, he’s maybe not at the level that 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. “He’s a player I trust. He’s a big talent and I know he will return to that level over the course of the season, I’m sure.” Maddison is yet to rediscover his best form but Vardy remains a reliable Foxes talisman. The striker recovered from the shock of scoring an own goal to equalise with a trademark right-foot finish. Maxwel Cornet restored the visitors’ lead with a fine volley but Vardy deservedly levelled five minutes from time. Burnley thought they had the last laugh but VAR ruled out Chris Wood’s stoppage-time headed effort for offside. Former Leicester striker Wood said: “Coming away to this place is 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. I know every goal always gets checked and STAR PLAYER MATEJ VYDRA Huge threat before injury STAR SHOCKER JANNICK VESTEGAARD Skinned by Vydra MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ■ RETURN: Maddison on the ball while (above) Vardy scores and (left) Wood’s late header was ruled out that is how it goes but I thought we played really well.” There is no doubt Burnley did, but were booed by Leicester fans who claimed they were time-wasting when in front. But Clarets midfielder Josh Brownhill said: “Whoever is winning, you are not going to want to speed things up. It is all about seeing the game out. “We’re not going to get the ball back in there and boot it up the pitch straight away – because they have some quality. “We will calm the game down and try to take it at our pace. They would do the same.

Townsend provided it. He is remembered for his spectacular goals but by his own admission, he hasn’t scored enough in his career. There had been only 28 league goals in a 12-year career before he arrived at Everton, his best in the Premier League just six during the 2018-19 season with Crystal Palace. Yet, interestingly, his highest goals ratio came under Benitez at Newcastle, where he scored four goals in a couple of months in a relegation-haunted side.

Farke Town and out at Goodison AS Andros Townsend himself says: “There’s life in the old dog yet!” You could say it is almost a new lease of life. The standing ovation from Everton fans recognising his workrate and sheer commitment showed just how much of an impact he has made. 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 and he said: “I’m 30 now, and that’s classed as old, but honestly, I feel like I’m 21 at the moment. I feel like I am full of life and full of energy.” He was the stand-out in a strange contest with Norwich, where Everton were inhibited and the visitors were the better side in the second half, but lacked ■PAYING PENALTY: Townsend scores from the spot to put Everton ahead and (inset) Doucoure doubles their lead at Goodison Park Andros goal mission Everton boss remembered his dynamic contribution, and asked him to repeat it. Already, he has repaid the manager and shown he can still make a difference. “I knew what I was capable of at Everton, and knew I wasn’t coming just to make up the numbers,” he said. “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.” Norwich boss Daniel Farke (inset) desperately needed someone as direct as Townsend. Without that, they were always vulnerable to the break which saw Abdoulaye Doucoure seal their seemingly inevitable defeat. Mathias Normann was perhaps the Canaries most dangerous player, especially with his shooting from distance. Normann said: “I think our performance was quite good and we played well. I believe if we keep working like we do, we will turn this around.” ■LATE DRAMA: Sion Spence hit the winner against Walsall in injury time to give Bristol Rovers three points Monday, September 27, 2021 ROUND-UP Saviour spence eases pressure SION SPENCE’S dramatic stoppage-time goal gave Bristol Rovers a long overdue away win at Walsall – which manager Joey Barton reckons could have saved him from the axe. “If you keep getting beat, inevitably that’s what comes down the track,” Barton (inset) said after their 2-1 victory. He added: “But everyone is together. They realise the kind of pressure you can be under if you don’t win games.” Rob Edwards intends to take the positives out of a frustrating goalless draw at home against 10-man Tranmere, which saw Forest Green stay four points clear at the top of League Two. The hosts rattled the bar through Matty Stevens in the second half and, after Tranmere defender Calum MacDonald was sent off for a second caution with three minutes left, Jake Young nearly snatched a stoppage-time winner. “If you don’t concede you don’t lose the game,” said manager Edwards. “The performance was very good – really committed.” Leyton Orient sit second in the table on goal difference after also having to make do with a point at home to lowly Mansfield who held out for a ■KEILLOR FINISH: Davis Keillor-Dunn celebrates his winner for Oldham 0-0 draw despite seeing Tyrese Sinclair dismissed for violent conduct with five minutes remaining. It also finished goalless at Harrogate as Stevenage left the EnviroVent Stadium with a share of the spoils. Port Vale, though, were able to make up ground on the top three after they won 1-0 at strugglers Scunthorpe with the only goal from Ben Garrity just before the break. Alistair Smith’s double helped Sutton to their biggest win of the season, 4-0, as they swept aside Carlisle, who had substitute Manasse Mampala sent off during the second half. Bottom-of-thetable Oldham picked up a much-needed win by beating neighbours Rochdale 1-0 at Spotland with Davis Keillor-Dunn’s goal on the hour. Ashley Eastham hit a stoppage-time equaliser as Salford twice fought back to draw 2-2 at home to Northampton. Hartlepool saw their 100 percent home record since returning to the Football League end as Exeter drew 1-1 at Victoria Park. Crawley eased to a 2-1 home win over Bradford, but it finished goalless between Swindon and Colchester at the County Ground. 13

And the Brighton boss reckons football needs more legendary ex-pros like Vieira moving into management. The Seagulls take on Vieira’s Crystal Palace tonight, 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 dug-out than he had on the pitch. Potter said: “There’s nothing stopping him at all. “You have good days and bad days. You have failures. It’s how you deal with them. Keep going. Keep improving. “But Patrick has shown those characteristics all his career. He PALACE v BRIGHTON 8pm, Sky Sports.

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’ve experienced the game at the very highest level so they have the potential to be fantastic coaches. “Credit to them. They are putting themselves there to be shot at or to fail. Just because you’ve been a top player doesn’t mean you’ll be a top Vieira (below left) is bringing a wealth of experience to the Prem says Graham Potter (below) Vieira can be top boss says Potter coach.” Vieira needs a win tonight to move away from the danger zone and he wants Odsonne Edouard to learn from Brighton’s Neal Maupay as he makes his way in the Premier League. Edouard has already made his mark following his move from Celtic, scoring twice from the bench on his debut against Tottenham. The French striker is pressing for his first Palace start and Vieira points to Maupay as an example of the qualities needed to make the grade in the Premier League. The Palace boss said: “I think Maupay’s experience in the last couple of years shows his determination. “Moving to a different country, and the Premier League, Odsonne needs time to adapt. “We will take our time to make him feel comfortable.” harkes and sparks CELTIC lost more ground on Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers after being SCOTS SPOT held to a 1-1 home draw by Dundee ■■ by IAN WINROW United.

16 Monday, September 27, 2021 DS1ST EVERY KICK, EVERY GOAL, EVERY GAME ■TAKING THE MICH: Antonio scores his late winner ■AT A STRETCH: Antonio clashes with keeper Meslier ■■ by ROSS HEPPENSTALL LEEDS 1 WEST HAM 2 MICHAIL ANTONIO has targeted the Premier League Golden Boot after his dramatic late winner kept West Ham’s bandwagon rolling. The in-form Hammers frontman took his season tally to six goals in six games in all competitions to keep David Moyes’ men in touch with the leading pack and send Leeds into the relegation zone. A thrilling game saw Marcelo Bielsa’s side lead through a superb low strike from 18 yards by Brazilian sensation Raphinha in the 19th minute. The winger saw another brilliant effort rebound off a post but Jarrod Bowen’s run and shot forced Junior Firpo into a 67th-minute own goal before Antonio finished with deadly aplomb in the last minute. A counter-attack led by West Ham captain Declan Rice STAR PLAYER ILLAN MESLIER Made several fine saves STAR SHOCKER DAN JAMES No joy. Hooked at half-time MATCH RATING ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ culminated in Antonio producing a deft touch to outfox Jamie Shackleton before rifling past the outstanding Illan Meslier. Hammers fans poured onto the pitch in celebration and an emotional Antonio said: “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’d say it’s up there with one of my best goals. That’s six in six so let’s keep going and let’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 Elland Road crowd following Tomas Soucek’s disallowed goal early BOOTY CALL in the second half. The Jamaican caught Meslier in the face with his arm before the ball dropped loose to Soucek to fire home. Referee Kevin Friend checked the pitchside monitor which confirmed Antonio, 31, had fouled Leeds’ young keeper. Angry home fans felt Antonio should have been sent off for the challenge but he was booked instead and grabbed the winner in the closing stages. Antonio added with a huge smile: “There is nothing better than coming back from 1-0 down, especially against a quality team like Leeds because the way they play is CHARLIE CRESSWELL starred on his Premier League debut for Leeds. But Marcelo Bielsa only told him he was playing minutes before kick-off. The highly rated 19-yearold (left) partnered captain Liam Cooper at the heart of the Whites’ defence and underlined his promise completely different. It’s a game that’s always going to be enjoyable for the neutral. Playing against Leeds is like running a marathon. “It was so hard because Leeds play man to man and you’ve got to keep working right to the end because they’re tireless with it. “They’re a quality team so to come away with three points is fantastic. The overriding feeling is relief.” For Leeds there was more doom and gloom after defeat dumped them into the bottom three. 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. ■■ by ROSS HEPPENSTALL with a fine display.

YOUR TURN: Which Italy defender scored West Ham’s late winner when they beat Leeds 2-1 away last season? Charlie’s late show would be starting in the 2-1 defeat against West Ham at Elland Road, the teen said: “Five minutes before the warm-up. “It was overwhelming. I need to watch it back, but I think I did quite well.” CRACKER: Powell Potters pause for fort STOKE 2 HULL 0 ■■ by RICHARD TANNER STOKE boss Michael O’Neill says turning the bet365 Stadium into a fortress again is vital if they are to achieve promotion. Fine goals by Mario Vrancic and Nick Powell made it 13 from a possible 15 home points and kept them in fifth in the Championship. Nine home defeats in each of the last two seasons ruined their promotion hopes and O’Neill said: “Home form is everything. “We want to make sure we’re formidable at home as it gives us the platform to maintain our position in the league and hopefully improve it.” The Potters’ goals were crackers. Vrancic beat two players before smashing home and Powell curled in a long-range free-kick. How Hull boss Grant McCann wishes he had such players. His newly promoted team failed to find the net for the seventh time in their last eight league games. They have scored just once since hitting four at Preston on the opening day of the season. Only Derby’s points deduction is keeping them off the bottom of the table. McCann said: “Our build-up play is fine but matches are won in both penalty boxes and at the moment we are not doing that well enough. “We are conceding goals at one end and are not clinical enough at the other. We’ve got to come up with the answers. “We’ve got a young group with a lot of lads who haven’t played at this level before. But we’re only nine games in and we believe in the group.’’
