WSL talking points: Arsenal’s attacking woes and Goodwin makes England case

Gunners are held to second home draw in two weeks, while Spurs smash Palace 7-0 to maintain strong start After being unable to find a way through Crystal Palace’s backline last time out, Arsenal were again frustrated at home in a draw with Manchester United on Saturday and Renée Slegers was asked post-match about how her team can turn their dominance of possession and territory into more goals. It could have been worse, of course, if Smilla Holmberg had not made it 1-1 in the 95th minute. “It’s not one thing, it’s a combination of things,” Slegers said. “It’s a cocktail of things, there are some details in decision making, some details in the technical execution. It’s also the ruthlessness in front of goal but I know the players want it and they want to do that, they want to execute for Arsenal.” Tom Garry Match report: Arsenal 1-1 Manchester United Match report: Manchester City 4-2 Liverpool Continue reading...

Weatherwatch: wildfires driven by global heating destroy UK bird habitats

Hot and dry summer created conditions for fires in Scotland and England that tore through vital wildlife areas Major wildfires this summer in the Cairngorms, along the Suffolk coast and in the New Forest have destroyed huge swathes of important bird habitats, affecting the populations of some of our most threatened and specialised species. The first to break out, in mid-July, destroyed much of the RSPB ’s Abernethy reserve, home to declining species such as black grouse and capercaillie, as well as scarce songbirds including Scottish crossbill and crested tit. Fortunately it was brought under control before it reached the village of Nethy Bridge, whose residents were briefly evacuated. Continue reading...

Mohamed Salah handed six-month driving ban in England

London: Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah has been handed a six-month driving ban in England after a Rolls-Royce registered in his name was caught speeding. According to British newspaper The Sun, the vehicle, valued at more than €466,000, was detected exceeding the speed limit by a speed camera in March 2026. The report said Salah, 34, failed to inform police who was driving the vehicle at the time of the offence. In August, a court in Warrington, Cheshire, convicted Salah in his absence for failing to identify the driver and imposed a six-month driving disqualification along with a fine of €769. The report added that Salah did not respond to two notices sent to his mansion, which is estimated to be worth more than €5 million. The offence reportedly occurred in the Wilmslow area of Cheshire, two days after he announced his departure from Liverpool. This is not the first time Salah has faced motoring-related issues. In 2022, he was caught speeding while driving his Ferrari F8 Tributo and received a fine along with three penalty points on his driving licence. He was also photographed using a mobile phone while driving near Anfield in 2018.

Premier League: 10 talking points from the weekend’s action

Liverpool look stronger at the back, youngsters shine for Brighton and Brentford, and James Trafford makes his England case with Leeds Premier League table | Top scorers In the week that 16-year-old Max Dowman has been thrust into the spotlight , it was another teenager who gave us a glimpse of the future in Brighton’s impressive win over Arsenal. Charalampos Kostoulas – nicknamed ‘Babis’ in his homeland, in homage to former Argentina striker Gabriel Batistuta – has already started twice as many Premier League games as he did in his first season in English football, when he was a backup for Danny Welbeck. The 19-year-old repaid Fabian Hürzeler’s faith in him against the reigning champions. Despite his tender years, Kostoulas already possesses the physical attributes to mix it with the best. He caused Gabriel Magalhães and company problems all afternoon, capping it off with a brilliant goal from 25 yards, his third in eight days. “We always knew that he’s capable of scoring goals out of nowhere,” said Hürzeler. “He just has this intrinsic motivation of really improving every day. He gets more and more professional, he understands the demands from the Premier League more, he understands our demands.” Ed Aarons Match report: Brighton 3-0 Arsenal Match report: Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool Match report: Fulham 1-1 Manchester United Match report: Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace Continue reading...
