• Hingano drop goal earns stunning comeback win

York Knights produced an incredible comeback to stun the reigning Super League champions and win their first ever game in the top flight on the opening night of the 2026 season.

North Yorkshire hosted Super League rugby for the first time in front of a full house and many of those who were watching York for the first time will have seen enough to return. They trailed last year’s treble winners 18-6 at one stage but scored 13 unanswered points in the final quarter to inflict a rare defeat on the Robins and cause pandemonium in the stands.

This was billed as a test of Arsenal’s mettle after Manchester City had picked themselves off the canvas against Liverpool at Anfield to reignite the title race. But having seen their lead at the top whittled down from nine points to just three since the weekend, Mikel Arteta’s side showed their fallibility as they were held by a dogged Brentford side who will feel that they should have even claimed victory.

Just when they needed to put in a statement performance, Arsenal were edgy throughout and struggled to create anything of note until Noni Madueke opened the scoring. Keane Lewis-Potter’s equaliser that came from a long throw had been coming as Keith Andrews’ side showed exactly why they are enjoying such a successful season since he replaced Thomas Frank last summer.

Manchester United secured an important 3-0 lead in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League playoff against Atlético Madrid. Goals from Elisabeth Terland and Melvine Malard bookended the first half before Julia Zigiotti Olme added a third late on as Marc Skinner’s side produced a professional performance away from home.

LONDEN (ANP) - De Britse publieke omroep gaat de komende jaren flink bezuinigen. De BBC maakte donderdag bekend de kosten over de komende drie jaar met ongeveer 10 procent te verlagen.

BBC-directeur Tim Davie, die in april bij de omroep vertrekt, lichtte de medewerkers donderdag in. "In een snel veranderende mediamarkt blijven we geconfronteerd worden met aanzienlijke financiële druk", citeert de BBC een woordvoerder. "Daarom verwachten we de komende drie jaar nog eens ongeveer 10 procent van onze kosten te besparen."

Een exact bedrag wordt niet genoemd, maar het gaat naar verwachting om honderden miljoenen ponden. De BBC schrijft dat de uitgaven vorig jaar meer dan 4 miljard pond (4,6 miljard euro) bedroegen. Het is nog niet bekend welke programma's of diensten door de bezuinigingen worden geraakt.
