Age and experience have not mellowed the Manchester City manager. ‌Guardiola was allowed into the Wembley technical area as the ban does not apply to the Carabao Cup, but there was never any chance of him being on his best behaviour. Bramall went after Guardiola and gave him the crossed-hands gesture which told Pep not to repeat the offence.

And if West Ham had won rather than lost to Aston Villa at the same time, Spurs would now be in the relegation zone. What had started with bright optimism from Spurs supporters on a sunny afternoon ended with more dark clouds over the club, and the stadium was emptying rapidly long before the final whistle. But from the resulting corner, Jesus thumped a powerful header past the Italian keeper, to the delight of Forest's fans. Igor Tudor tried a change of players at half-time, but Spurs got worse. Neco Williams had a diving header saved by Vicario, before Gibbs-White made it 2-0 in the 62nd minute.

Jamie Redknapp called for Mikel Arteta to take the blame for Arsenal's defeat by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final for a huge decision - starting his second-choice goalkeeper. Trafford has therefore been subject to mostly cup competitions, with nine of his 13 games this season coming in either the FA Cup or League Cup. Look, we can talk about it after, but ultimately we're talking about it because (it) cost Arsenal the game.' It was that behaviour that Neville dubbed 'nonsense,' leading to 'punch after punch' coming from City on the Arsenal goal. It's not the first time Kepa has grabbed headlines in a Carabao Cup final.

Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was dropped from his side's starting XI for the Madrid derby on Sunday as a punishment for lateness, according to reports. And, on Sunday, he found himself out of the starting XI, with Dani Carvajal preferred at right back. According to the Athletic, Alexander-Arnold was late to a recent training session, which resulted in him losing his spot in the team. The game finished 3-2 to Real, with Vinicius Jnr scoring a brace and Federico Valverde scoring again too. Tuchel branded it a 'sporting decision' to stick with Tino Livramento, Jarell Quansah and Djed Spence as his right back options.

A woman looks out from the broken windows of her apartment, hit by airstrikes, in Tehran, Iran. In response, the Iranian military warned it would “irreversibly destroy” all US-linked energy sites across the region if Iran’s oil and energy infrastructure were hit. It also it would close the Strait of Hormuz “indefinitely”, underlining the central role this narrow passageway has taken on in the war. [ Iran war: What can EU leaders do about rising energy prices?Opens in new window ]Subsequently, Iranian missiles struck near Israel’s main nuclear research facility at Dimona, where Israel’s undeclared bombs reside. While the US president continues to talk of an early end to the war, its consequences look set to be long-lasting.

Jack O’Connor is not expecting a wave of freshly fit players in time for next week’s Division One league final against Donegal. With the history of injuries he had last year, we just want to be careful with him. David Clifford and Sean O’Shea have been leading lights throughout a seven-game campaign to date in which the Munster side has won four, drawn two and lost just the one (against next week’s final opponents Donegal). “I know the hunger they're showing, they're literally playing every minute,” said O’Connor. “I know David was off for the Donegal game, but Sean O'Shea has had some campaign.

Around 500 Israeli air attacks in southern Lebanon and south Beirut, the illegal displacement of one million people and now an occupation by Israeli ground troops have happened in under two weeks. Israeli attacks continued on Sunday, including on bridges in Southern Lebanon, as the Lebanese authorities said they feared a wider invasion was imminent. That threat has been endemic in southern Lebanon ever since the movement was founded after the Israeli invasion of 1982 began this long historical cycle of resistance under Iranian tutelage. It suits Netanyahu to continue a state of emergency even if the Iran war is over soon – which looks increasingly unlikely. His government favours brute force over diplomacy even if this requires another indefinite occupation of southern Lebanon.

No timeline exists for the introduction of the next phase, which envisions local flooding alerts sent by text to people’s phones. Responsibility for flood warning and abatement is split between three Government departments, various agencies and the local authorities. The OPW – which is part of the Department of Public Expenditure – is responsible for flood defences. No department - and by extension no Minister – seems willing to take the lead on the project. They will also serve as a lightning rod when the system fails; either by not warning of a flood, or for warning of a flood that does not transpire.
