  Chelsea defender Millie Bright produced the game's only goal. A first-half volley from defender Millie Bright secured Chelsea victory over PSG in their opener in the Women's Champions League group stages, while Arsenal laid down a marker with a  5-1 thrashing of European champions Lyon  on Wednesday And Green, who is taking charge of media duties while head coach Emma Hayes is absent, thinks such results would have been "unthinkable" only a few years ago. He said: "I think it shows how far the English league has come that ourselves and Arsenal have come to the top two teams in France and got two victories. "I think it's a really positive thing for the English league and does show how far it's come. "In years gone by, it was probably unthinkable that teams would come to France and win games like this." "Women's football is riding the crest of a wave after the Euros. Players coming back into club environments are bringing positivit...

By
Image
Aston Villa are hunting for a new manager after Steven Gerrard was relieved of his duties following Thursday's 3-0 defeat at Fulham. Gerrard leaves Villa teetering precariously above the relegation zone, having collected only nine points from 11 Premier League games this season. Villa supporters were calling for Gerrard's head towards the  end of Thursday's loss , singing "Steven Gerrard, get out of our club" in the direction of the away dugout. So who might replace the 42-year-old at Villa Park?

Paris murder: Killing of Lola, 12, sparks immigration row in France

By
Image
  IMAGE SOURCE, AFP Image caption, Lola's body was found hours after she was killed in the 19th district of north-eastern Paris Grief and outrage in France over the murder of a 12-year-old girl found dumped in a plastic trunk in Paris has turned into a political row over the migrant status of the suspect. Lola's body was found last Friday in a courtyard outside the apartment block where she lived. A 24-year-old woman has been remanded in custody on suspicion of murder, rape as well as acts of torture. It has also emerged she is an Algerian immigrant under orders to leave France. Shortly after President Emmanuel Macron met the murdered girl's parents at the Élysée Palace on Tuesday and promised his full support, political opponents on the right and far right accused the government of failing the family.   During an animated session in the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Rally party condemned the government's "lax" migration policy ...

  Thursday's 3-0 defeat at Fulham was Steven Gerrard's final game in charge of Aston Villa Steven Gerrard was relieved of his duties as Aston Villa manager after Fulham secured a comfortable victory at Craven Cottage. Gerrard leaves the Midlands club in 17th place, level on points with 18th-placed Wolves but above their Midlands rivals on goals scored. Harrison Reed put the home side ahead, drilling home after Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez had punched a corner into the midfielder's path. Andreas Pereira went close on two occasions, while Aleksandar Mitrovic had a far-post header cleared off the line by Tyrone Mings as Fulham dominated the first half. Villa's evening went from bad to worse just after the hour mark, when Douglas Luiz was shown a straight red card after being adjudged by the video assistant referee to have head-butted Mitrovic in an off-the-ball altercation. The home side wasted little time in capitalising on their numerical advantage, Mitrovic doubli...

Five hours' sleep is tipping point for bad health

By
Image
IMAGE SOURCE, GETTY IMAGES At least five hours sleep a night may cut the over-50s' chances of multiple chronic health problems, researchers say. Ill health can disrupt sleep - but poor sleep may also be a forewarning or a risk itself, they say. There is evidence sleep helps restore, rest and rejuvenate the body and mind - but why the "golden slumber number" might matter remains unclear. The PLoS Medicine study tracked the health and sleep of UK civil servants. All of the about 8,000 participants were asked: How many hours of sleep do you have on an average weeknight?" Some also wore a wrist-watch sleep tracker. And they were checked for chronic conditions, including diabetes, cancer and heart disease, over two decades of follow-up: Those who slept five hours or less around the age of 50 had a 30% greater risk of multiple ailments than those who slept seven hours Shorter sleep at 50 was also associated with a higher risk of death during the study period, mainly linked...
