Idrissa Gueye was applauded by his Everton teammates after apologising for being sent off for striking Michael Keane during Monday’s 1-0 win at Manchester United. The midfielder was shown a red card after slapping Keane following a heated exchange sparked by Gueye’s misplaced pass that almost led to a Bruno Fernandes chance. It marked the first time in 17 years a Premier League player had been dismissed for striking a teammate. After the match, Gueye addressed the squad and personally apologised to Keane, also saying sorry to the team for leaving them to play with 10 men for most of…
People who stop using the weight-loss injection Mounjaro (tirzepatide) not only tend to regain weight but also lose key health improvements, including better blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar control, according to new research. The findings come from the Surmount-4 clinical trial, in which participants with obesity or weight-related health problems first took tirzepatide for 36 weeks alongside diet and exercise support. Those who had lost at least 10% of their body weight were then split into two groups: one continued the drug for another year, while the other switched to a placebo without knowing which they were receiving. Among…
Virgil van Dijk has criticised Liverpool’s dramatic slump, admitting the Premier League champions are “in a mess” and questioning whether his teammates are fully taking responsibility for the team’s poor form. The Liverpool captain was visibly furious after the 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest, a result that left the club in the bottom half of the table with a negative goal difference. The defeat was their sixth in seven league games and eighth in 11 matches across all competitions. Van Dijk described the team’s start to the second half as “unacceptable” and said “panic kicked in” after Forest took…
A person in Washington state is believed to be the first human to die from the rare H5N5 strain of bird flu, though health officials say the risk to the public remains low. The patient, an older adult with underlying health conditions from Grays Harbor County, was hospitalized in early November after developing fever, confusion and breathing problems. Health authorities said the individual had a backyard poultry flock that had been exposed to wild birds. The Washington State Department of Health said no other people linked to the case have tested positive and there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission.…
Tottenham are not close to spending £100m on a single player in the way Arsenal have, according to head coach Frank Thomas. Spurs have undergone major changes since Daniel Levy was removed as chair in September, with the Lewis family installing a new leadership team as part of wider plans to grow the club and improve on-pitch success. However, Frank believes Tottenham are still some distance from matching Arsenal’s spending power, pointing to the Gunners’ £105m signing of Declan Rice in 2023. Tottenham’s current record signing remains the £60m move for Richarlison in 2022. Frank questioned earlier suggestions from former…
Ian Wright has defended Jude Bellingham, saying some critics are uncomfortable with the rise of a “black superstar” in English football. Bellingham faced criticism after showing frustration when substituted during England’s World Cup qualifying win over Albania, with some suggesting he could be a disruptive influence. Wright rejected that narrative, arguing that the attention comes from fear of Bellingham’s success rather than his conduct. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Wright said Bellingham’s confidence, ability and influence make certain people uneasy. He suggested outspoken, high-performing black players often face harsher judgement, contrasting the reception of players like N’Golo Kanté…
Manchester United’s proposal to introduce personal seat licences (PSLs) to help fund the £2bn redevelopment of Old Trafford faces uncertainty after the government announced stricter rules on ticket resales. The club had been exploring a PSL model that would allow holders to resell their match or season tickets at a profit. However, new legislation set for next year will ban selling sports and music tickets above face value. Though football already falls under existing laws, government officials have signalled they would oppose any attempt by United to create a secondary market for PSLs. United has been surveying fans about the…
Arsenal are bracing for a major setback after Gabriel Magalhães suffered a thigh injury while on international duty, with the defender expected to miss at least a month at a pivotal stage of the season. The 27-year-old limped off during Brazil’s 2-0 win over Senegal in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium and has since undergone tests confirming a muscle injury in his right thigh. Further assessments are ongoing, but Gabriel is already ruled out of Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham and the midweek Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. Depending on the severity, Gabriel could also miss Premier…
Germany stormed into next year’s World Cup with a dominant 6-0 win over Slovakia, sealing top spot in their group.

Tijjani Reijnders opened the scoring before Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simons and Donyell Malen struck in a rapid second-half burst. Poland’s 3-2 victory in Malta – with…
