Erling Haaland set another Premier League record for Manchester City against Everton, in a feisty New Year’s Eve clash. Erling Haaland admitted he was ‘p*****’ not to score more than two goals at Leeds, focussing more on the three efforts he missed rather than the two strikes that ultimately won Manchester City another three points. Pep Guardiola ominously said that Haaland can get even better, despite becoming the fastest player to reach 20 Premier League goals. His 21st, against Everton, saw him set yet another record as the player with the most goals in a Premier League season before the turn of the year. And he…

Gary Neville believes Darwin Nunez can become a “world class” striker for Liverpool as his form in front of goal continues to be criticised.

That tally pales in comparison to Erling Haaland, who joined fierce rivals Manchester City in the summer and already has 21 league goals to his name. But Neville is confident Nunez…

The quality of greatness in sport throws out a brilliant and alluring light that makes everyone in its orbit feel enriched by its presence. I sat for a while with Michael Jordan 25 years or so ago in the Chicago Bulls’ locker room before a regular season game against the Bucks in Milwaukee and still remember thinking that, even on a treatment couch, the man seemed like a force of nature. It was quite something, too, to be in the Lusail Stadium on the northern outskirts of Doha a fortnight ago to witness the genius of Lionel Messi leading Argentina to victory over France in the World…

A new ecosystem has been discovered 1,640 feet (500 metres) down in the depths of the Indian Ocean, where hungry sharks go to feast on krill.
