European football: Dortmund win again but Freiburg top after Gladbach rout

Borussia Dortmund beat Paderborn 3-0 Freiburg lead on goal difference after 5-0 win Felix Nmecha scored twice and Fábio Silva grabbed another as Borussia Dortmund won 3-0 at home to promoted Paderborn to continue their perfect start in the Bundesliga. Dortmund’s win made it three from three in the league this campaign, their best start in 11 seasons, dating back to Thomas Tuchel’s time. Starting up front alongside Serhou Guirassy for the first time this season, Silva converted a clever pass from the Guinean to give the hosts the lead after five minutes. Guirassy had two goals disallowed for offside in the first half but Dortmund were rarely troubled by the toothless visitors, who are yet to score since returning to the top flight.

Missouri coach blasts Kansas over slavery references after Border War win

Tigers beat Kansas 38-21 in historic Border War Rivalry has roots in pre-Civil War slavery conflict Drinkwitz says buildup left him ‘embarrassed’ The latest edition of the Border War between Missouri and Kansas turned out to be a mere skirmish for a half. Robert Woodyard Jr produced back-to-back turnovers soon after the break, and Austin Simmons and the potent Tigers offense turned them into touchdowns, helping No 23 Missouri break open a tie game and roll to a 38-21 victory Friday night.

Schade double denies Bournemouth first league win as Brentford rescue draw

No need for distress flares just yet at Bournemouth. Trust the process, though with new frontiers of European football beckoning there are grounds for concern on the home front. If performance levels under Marco Rose remain decent, winning positions have been surrendered in his four Premier League matches. An unwanted carry over from Andoni Iraola’s tenure cannot be allowed to worsen. Saturday’s visitors offer proof positive that panic will not help. Brentford, still unbeaten, continue to be a model of stability and sensible decision-making. And familiarity, though in central defence, with Nathan Collins absent, Keith Andrews had selected a new face in Jannik Schuster, a 20-year-old from the same Red Bull stable as Rose.

Flemming and Ipswich floor 10-man Crystal Palace with 90th-minute winner

This victory has been a long time coming for Gary O’Neil. The Millwall supporter from Beckenham had picked up a solitary point on his previous five trips to this part of south London as a manager so it was no wonder that he celebrated Zian Flemming’s winning goal in the 90th minute with the same gusto as the travelling Ipswich supporters. On a topsy-turvy afternoon that saw Palace take the lead before Emersonn and Leif Davis cancelled out Anan Khalaili’s first goal for Crystal Palace after Axel Disasi’s red card, Jorgen Strand Larsen equalised with 15 minutes remaining.

Hull stun Chelsea with Mohamed Belloumi double before João Pedro rescues a point

Do not make the mistake of assuming this was a backs-to-the-wall effort from Hull. Their remarkable start to the season goes on and a point was the least Sergej Jakirovic’s side deserved after they pushed Chelsea to the limit in an absorbing game. This was the first time Chelsea have dominated possession in a league game this season and it did not lead to anything pretty. Xabi Alonso’s attack was contained for long spells, even though goals from Morgan Rogers and João Pedro ended Hull’s spotless defensive record, and the Spaniard’s side remain a mess without the ball. Chelsea are conceding at a rate of two a game and saw their winless run in home games against promoted sides stretched to five after Mohamed Belloumi twice punished defensive errors during the first half.

Igor Jesus and Liam Delap strike for Forest to deepen Aston Villa’s league woes

This summer there were a couple of significant pieces of the puzzle for Oliver Glasner to put into place at Nottingham Forest. The first was a mobile striker to lead the line, and the other was a wing-back to fit his favoured 3-4-3 system. Enter Liam Delap and Daniel Munoz, both of whom had a big say in Forest’s first win of the season, though the match-winner was one of the old guard in Igor Jesus. Delap registered his first Forest goal in style, a powerful shot from 25 yards and Munoz was involved in the slick move that saw Igor Jesus read Morgan Gibbs-White’s exquisite backheel to defeat Aston Villa, who remain winless in the Premier League. Unai Emery hoped a Champions League victory at Club Brugge on Tuesday would be the catalyst to ignite their Premier League campaign but Igor Jesus clinched victory late on, after Alysson, a half-time substitute, headed in the equaliser. Emery introduced Ibrahim Mbaye and Johan Manzambi for their Villa debuts just after the hour but it was Forest’s £45m record signing Delap who ended the game victorious, this a typically boisterous display from the former Chelsea striker. Glasner tried to sign Delap for Crystal Palace last summer and finally has his man. Continue reading...

England survive slow start to overwhelm Australia in WXV with seven-try surge

WXV: England 48-15 Australia May Campbell kickstarts second half flurry of seven tries England had to execute something they have not had to do in John Mitchell’s reign against Australia, a comeback win after being down at half-time. It was the first time in almost six years the Red Roses had been trailing after the first 40. But whatever was said in the changing room shook the team to life as they scored 43 second-half points to keep their winning streak going. Australia gave the Red Roses quite the scare in the first half. The Wallaroos were not just clinical when in attack, but they were thorough and physical in defence to disrupt England’s front-foot ball. The visitors played some of their best rugby since last year’s World Cup, when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals, before falling apart in the second half. England were uncharacteristically poor at times with several knock-ons and other handling errors hampering their attack. Continue reading...

Frustrated Liverpool fail to take chances as Fulham claim deserved first point

In the not-so distant past when they were vying for a right-back role with Spain, Andoni Iraola often lost out to Álvaro Arbeloa. The points were shared at Anfield on Saturday, but the Liverpool head coach was thwarted by his old adversary once again as Fulham deservedly claimed the first Premier League point of Arbeloa’s tenure. The visitors belied their lowly position and a run of three successive league defeats to take a point from a Liverpool side that represented a pale imitation of their Champions League selves against Atlético Madrid on Wednesday.

Exclusive: Many ‘use community protection as a cover for racist thuggery’, raising concerns about fresh disorder At least 28 anti-migrant vigilante groups have formed in the UK in the last 18 months, ranging from unauthorised street patrols claiming to protect women and children to groups harassing migrants in France and blocking ports. From Belfast to the south coast of England, the number of active groups has surged since the summer of 2025, according to analysis by the Guardian, amid widespread concerns over fresh disorder after black-clad vigilantes, many of them wearing balaclavas, blocked roads in Portsmouth and Dover last weekend.
