Bethell is fit to return for an eight-match itinerary in November, with Eddie Jack and Thomas Rew called up
If ever validation is needed for attack being the best form of defence, Frank Lampard can call this game up on Wyscout. Coventry climbed out of the relegation zone to the heady heights of 14th place after their second successive win showcased the benefits of their manager’s willingness to balance risk with reward.Jack Rudoni’s early penalty underscored a sense of positivity that was enhanced by an even quicker goal at the start of the second half from Sidiki Cherif and not unduly dimmed by Sven Botman’s howitzer making it 2-1.

Minor deviations from the familiar, almost imperceptible to outsiders, can set off alarm bells: what’s really going on there? Why isn’t he happy? What’s she hinting at? But it’s an argot developed to talk about football, and when applied to other subjects, it can sound extremely jarring.Erling Haaland is one of the brighter, more engaging players.
There’s an appealing quirkiness to him that suggests he has a higher-than-usual level of self-awareness. He doesn’t mind stepping outside the norms, being a bit different. But consider his assessment of Manchester City’s 3-0 win at Liverpool on Sunday. Continue reading...

In the event the Red Bulls fell just short despite Christian Wade running in a hat-trick to become only the second player to score 100 top-tier tries.Exeter will be suitably relieved to have edged a curate’s egg of a contest, ultimately made safe by a late try from their Georgian prop Bachuki Tchumbadze.
The Chiefs’ Italian international back-rower Ross Vintcent also contributed two first-quarter tries to steal some of the prolific Wade’s thunder. The 35-year-old retains a poacher’s instinct and is now closing in fast – in every sense – on Chris Ashton’s all-time Prem career haul of 101. Continue reading...
