Harry Kane scored a stoppage-time equaliser to preserve Bayern Munich’s unbeaten season in a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, ending their record 16-game winning streak. Union led twice through Danilho Doekhi, the second coming in the 83rd minute, but Kane’s 13th Bundesliga goal salvaged a point. Luis Díaz had earlier levelled with a superb strike after Manuel Neuer’s error gifted Union the opener. “It wasn’t our best game, but we stayed focused,” Kane said. Bayern stay six points clear at the top after RB Leipzig’s 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim. Elsewhere, Dortmund conceded in stoppage time to draw 1-1 at Hamburg,…

Rúben Amorim criticised his Manchester United players for becoming “too comfortable” after they threw away a lead in a 3–3 draw against Tottenham. United looked in control for much of the game after Bryan Mbeumo’s early strike, but Mathys Tel and Richarlison turned things around for Spurs before Matthijs de Ligt’s 96th-minute header rescued a point. “We have a lot of problems — we’re just at the beginning,” Amorim said. “The results make it look like we’re improving, but we were far too comfortable. The game was there to take, the three points were there, but we stopped being aggressive…

David Raya’s remarkable run of clean sheets shows no sign of stopping as Arsenal equalled a club record that has stood for 122 years. The Spaniard has now gone 12 hours and 56 minutes without conceding, helping the team to eight consecutive shutouts in all competitions — a feat last achieved when Arsenal were still a south London side in 1903. During the 3-0 win over Slavia Prague, Raya was barely tested, making just one save. Even so, he was ready to pounce when a late penalty was awarded — sprinting to the touchline to consult goalkeeping coach Iñaki Caña…

Chelsea’s hierarchy remain fully supportive of Enzo Maresca’s rotation strategy despite the club’s 2-2 draw against Qarabag in the Champions League. Maresca made seven changes for the trip to Baku, a decision that drew criticism after Chelsea surrendered a late lead. However, the club’s leadership view the Italian’s approach as a smart, long-term strategy designed to protect player fitness and sustain performance across four major competitions. Sources at Chelsea insist there is no sense that Maresca took an unnecessary risk, noting that the coach has consistently rotated his squad to keep players fresh. The Blues’ season has been complicated by…

Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie has been revealed as the Premier League footballer allegedly threatened at gunpoint by an agent in north London. The incident reportedly took place on 6 September in Cockfosters, Barnet, while Udogie was out with a friend during the international break. Police arrested a 31-year-old man two days later on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent, blackmail, and driving without a licence. He has since been released on bail while investigations continue. According to the Metropolitan Police, no one was injured. It is understood that the suspect is not Udogie’s agent. Tottenham said in a statement:…

Sir David Attenborough’s new BBC series Kingdom captures a stunning scene of a lion rescuing a pregnant hyena from a pack of wild dogs — one of many rare moments filmed over five years in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley. The series follows lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild dogs as they battle to survive in one of Africa’s wildest landscapes. Executive producer Mike Gunton said: “Only nature could write this script.” Narrated by Attenborough, Kingdom features remarkable footage — from a wild dog rescued from a crocodile to a hyena hiding stolen food underwater. It also highlights threats such as habitat loss…

A new study shows that combining certain diabetes medications with healthy habits can greatly reduce heart risk. Researchers examined more than 63,000 U.S. veterans with type 2 diabetes. They found that those taking GLP‑1 receptor‑agonist medications and following six or more healthy lifestyle habits had about a 50% lower risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke. The study highlights the combined power of medicine and lifestyle changes. Healthy habits included regular exercise, balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, and controlling blood pressure. Participants who adopted these habits while using GLP‑1 medications showed significantly…

Real Sociedad earned a desperately needed 3–2 victory over Athletic Club in one of the wildest Basque derbies in memory, sealed by Jon Gorrotxategi’s stoppage-time winner in torrential rain at the Reale Arena. The academy product, playing in his first derby, scuffed an initial effort before blasting home from close range in the 92nd minute, sparking euphoric celebrations among players and fans alike. “I hit it with my soul,” Gorrotxategi said after the match. The game had everything: five goals, relentless intensity, and local pride on full display. Real Sociedad opened through Brais Méndez after Ander Barrenetxea, injured moments earlier,…

Erling Haaland was once again Manchester City’s match-winner as his two first-half goals sealed a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, moving Pep Guardiola’s side up to second in the Premier League. The Norwegian striker punished Andoni Iraola’s high defensive line twice before Nico O’Reilly added a third after the break. Haaland now has 13 league goals this season and an astonishing 98 in 107 Premier League appearances. City briefly wobbled when Tyler Adams equalised after Gianluigi Donnarumma failed to deal with a corner, but Haaland quickly restored the lead before half-time. O’Reilly’s late strike, assisted by Phil Foden, sealed the win…

Britain has one of the weakest relationships with nature in the world, ranking 55th out of 61 countries in a global study of 57,000 people. The research, published in Ambio, examined how cultural, economic, and social factors shape people’s connection to the natural world. Nepal topped the list as the most nature-connected nation, followed by Iran, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. At the bottom were the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, and Spain. Led by Professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, the study found that spirituality and faith were the strongest predictors of closeness to nature, while factors…
