Liverpool’s inability to manage games cost them dearly again as they dropped points in a one-sided 1-1 draw at home to struggling Burnley, who have not won in 13 Premier League matches. Nevertheless, 73 per cent possession and 32 shots, only 11 of which were on target, produced a solitary goal. But less than two minutes later Alisson could not keep out Edwards’ shot across him after Konate failed to close down the attacker on the left of the penalty area. Even then it took 42 minutes to make the breakthrough with Wirtz and summer signing Hugo Ekitike playing pivotal roles. They regained fourth place from United but their position in the race for a Champions League place is far from secure.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot accepted it was understandable fans booed after they failed to beat struggling Burnley at Anfield. There were loud jeers at the final whistle and Slot – whose side had 32 shots but managed only 11 on target – understood why. “In my head it wasn’t booing but in my head it was frustration as well,” he said. “But if you, as Liverpool, are not disappointed by having a draw at home to Burnley then something is completely wrong. I have the same frustrations and the players definitely have the same frustrations as the fans.

Crystal Palace's winless run extended to 10 games in all competitions after they were beaten 2-1 by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Although Palace took the lead through Yeremy Pino's top-corner finish after half-an-hour, Enzo Le Fee quickly replied for the Black Cats. Pino curled a free-kick over the crossbar and Henderson dived to stop Hume's header as both sides enjoyed early opportunities in the second half. Brobbey almost turned provider after stabbing the ball into Hume, but the Northern Ireland international was denied by a stunning one-handed save from Henderson. Roefs punched away Pino's corner and Henderson made two excellent stops to deny Eliezer Mayenda and Ballard in quick succession in the 90th minute.

Channel Nine's coverage of the Australian Open has fallen victim to two embarrassing moments just minutes after it started on Sunday morning. First, commentator Tony Jones told viewers that his co-host, wheelchair tennis legend Dylan Alcott, had been spotted on the golf course recently. Panel member and former tennis star John Millman then asked, 'What's your handicap?' 'Novak Djokovic, 99 Australian Open [match] wins. 'I've said it before, if we were to rename this stadium, it would be Novak Djokovic Arena.

Books with graphic illustrations of naked adults and advising 'willies aren't silly' are on display at a top museum's children's reading room. Parents are furious, with one branding a book at Young V&A in Bethnal Green, East London, 'a useful tool for paedos to groom children'. On Saturday, one parent visiting Young V&A said: 'Kids should not tolerate grown men in the nude around them. I was shocked to see it on display at a museum aimed at young kids. A V&A spokesman said: 'The reading room at Young V&A is a free drop-in space for families to enjoy spending time reading together.

Ant McPartlin has declared he is the 'happiest he has ever been' after going sober following his 'tough' drink-driving ordeal in 2018. Ant reflected on his past decade with best pal Declan Donnelly in a new interview amid the controversy over their 'triggering and insensitive' podcast promo. Her son - who was in the back seat - later told her the Mini came 'round the corner like a rocket.' One said: 'As someone who has lost a close friend to suicide, I get why this can be seen as triggering and insensitive,' wrote one user. 'It's triggering, insensitive, and frankly reckless to push out as 'entertainment' when so many families have been devastated by suicide and self-harm,' she added.

Governments decide whether to withdraw their teams from a World Cup, but it would be hard to see anything but a boycott for the Danes in those circumstances. People of ethnic extraction are afraid to leave the house, even with the Green Card which they must display if stopped by ICE agents. If the situation on the US domestic and geo-political fronts materially worsened, what would it take for the World Cup, or at least the United States’ majority part in it, to be cancelled? As it did before Colombia voluntarily withdrew as hosts of the 1986 World Cup, amid currency instability, failing stadium construction and rising guerilla violence. Should Trump’s military adventurism persist, the kind of boycott which hit the 1980 Moscow and 1984 LA Olympics, after Russia’s invasion of Afghanistan, is conceivable.

In this case it is the dispute between the Dublin Airport Authority, the state-owned commercial entity charged with managing and developing Ireland’s principal airports, and its currently suspended chief executive Kenny Jacobs. He has now filed an affidavit providing his view of the claims and motivations of the DAA. In this week’s authoritative 2025 On-Time Performance Review by Cirium, a respected aviation data analytics company, not one Irish airport was listed in the top tier of world performers. Top-ranked global airports included Istanbul, Panama, Santiago and, among the “small airports” category, Guayaquil Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport in Ecuador with 91.5% on-time departures. But it is important that debate moves forward on what a unified Ireland might look like.
