Chelsea’s reign as English women’s football’s top team is over after Manchester City dismantled the champions to open up a surely unassailable lead at the top of the Women’s Super League.

In an emphatic victory that will be symbolic of the ongoing changing of the guard, Kerolin scored a hat-trick as the runaway leaders won 5-1 at a jubilant Etihad Stadium and their fans were chanting “easy, easy, easy” before the end.

Boy and his father are back in Minneapolis after being held in detention facility for more than a week

A five-year-old boy and his father were back in Minneapolis on Sunday after being released from a Texas immigration detention center where they were held for more than a week, according to US House representative Joaquin Castro.

“Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack. Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam,” Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, said in a post on X. “We won’t stop until all children and families are home.”

Aston Villa were already angry at trailing to 10-man Brentford and then, four minutes into the second half, those frustrations grew tenfold.

Tammy Abraham thought he had made a goalscoring return, his first since winning promotion from the Championship seven years ago, but then it was all eyes on the referee, Tim Robinson, and the big screens flagging a review. At Stockley Park, the video assistant referee, Paul Tierney, rewound the clock by 19 seconds, to the moment Leon Bailey, at the opposite end of the pitch, was deemed to have failed to keep the ball in play.

Neco Williams was a very relieved man at the final whistle after his Nottingham Forest teammates held on against Crystal Palace to move a point further away from the relegation zone. The full-back produced a fantastic save and some amateur dramatics but was dismissed, having given away a penalty, in a game his side looked favourites to win.

Ismaïla Sarr scoring the resulting spot-kick to cancel out Morgan Gibbs-White’s opener was the only additional damage, as Forest showed their defensive muscle. If it was not for Palace currently living in striker purgatory, waiting for one to leave and a replacement to arrive, they may have made more of the one-man advantage, rather than extend their winless run to nine matches.

Los Blancos cut Barcelona’s lead back to one point at the top of the table after the Spanish champions beat Elche on Saturday.

Cherub at landmark church causes ecclesiastical and political uproar with alleged resemblance to Italian PM

Italy’s culture minister and the diocese of Rome have launched investigations after claims were made that an angel in a landmark church in Rome was restored in the likeness of the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni.

The resemblance was first flagged by the newspaper La Repubblica, which noted that one of the two angels flanking a marble bust of Italy’s last king in the Basilica of St Lawrence in Lucina now had “a familiar, astonishingly contemporary face”.

We are living longer and longer, but many of us are unprepared for the challenges age brings, says the novelist and psychotherapist Frank Tallis

We have never lived so long, so well, nor had more available advice on how to do so: don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t eat ultraprocessed foods; lift weights, get outside, learn a language. Cosmetics – or surgery – have never been so available, so advanced, nor so widely used; we take for granted medical procedures that previous ages would have considered miracles. And something’s clearly working: average global life expectancy is the highest in recorded history. The fastest growing demographic is now the over-80s.

There is much public hand-wringing about the burdens this ageing population will place on health and care systems, and on younger people. But what is far less talked about, argues the clinical psychologist Frank Tallis in his new book, Wise, is how to get older well: not just in physical, but in mental good health.

Een "fundamentele koerswijziging" is nodig voor steun van GroenLinks-PvdA. Die boodschap bracht partijleider Jesse Klaver over aan coalitiepartijen D66, VVD en CDA op een bijeenkomst in Utrecht. "Verwar onze uitgestoken hand niet met een blanco cheque."

Klaver vestigde vooral aandacht op ingrepen in de zorg en sociale zekerheid die de coalitie in haar akkoord heeft vastgelegd. Maar ook op het gebied van klimaat en stikstof had het "wel ambitieuzer gemogen".
