guardianworldnews_feed⚽ Premier League updates from the 8pm GMT kick-off
⚽ Live scores | Edwards in talks with Wolves | Mail Barry
James Collins: “We were determined not to [approach the game like] it’s a week’s holiday and then a new manager comes in,” said the Wolves interim coach. “We had to make sure that we prepared properly for the game this weekend. It’s a Premier League game that can be won. That was the message to the players, and they’ve responded brilliantly. They’ve been unbelievably receptive to what we’ve done with them.”
On the departure of Vitor Pereira: “Vitor and his staff were brilliant with me, they welcomed us to watch training, they welcomed us to be around it and they welcomed us into meetings. They were enthusiastic about the U21s, and getting players through. I can’t speak highly enough of them; they were brilliant people and good coaches.

Sunderland get the ball rolling. What an atmosphere!
… but before kick-off, there’s a moment of silence in honour and respect of the fallen. A wreath of poppies laid by the centre circle. Immaculately observed. Pin-drop perfect. Then the Last Post. And finally a Roker-style roar of gratitude to break the silence. Here we go, then.

Liam Lawson has been given a five-second penalty and one penalty point on his super licence for causing a collision with Ollie Bearman during the sprint race earlier. Lawson is now on eight penalty points for the 12-month period. Earlier, Bearman was also handed a five-second time penalty for the sprint race and one penalty point on his licence for “driving in manner deemed potentially dangerous” for his contact with Lawson
There is a delay to qualifying due to repairs required to barrier damage at turns 10 and 11. No confirmation of how long yet …

Southern Water is investigating after millions of contaminated plastic beads washed up on Camber Sands beach, risking an “environmental catastrophe”.
The biobeads could have a dire impact on marine life, the local MP has said, with fears rare sea life, including seabirds, porpoises and seals, could ingest them and die.

Club: ‘We have no choice other than to make a change’
Liam Manning has been sacked by Norwich in the wake of a 2-1 home defeat by Leicester, which left them 23rd in the Championship, with nine points from 15 games and without a win at Carrow Road since May.
The Canaries have lost all seven of their home matches in the Championship this season, with another defeat coming in the Carabao Cup, and are now four points adrift of safety. After going ahead on 62 minutes through Mathias Kvistgaarden’s second goal in successive games, Norwich were pegged back by substitute Bobby Cordova-Reid 10 minutes later and then suffered a nightmare ending when Jordan James headed home a dramatic second for the visitors.

Dr Paul E Mullen and his family were living near Dunedin, New Zealand when, one evening in November 1990, they heard gunfire. The shots continued into the night, followed by the distant sound of police and ambulances. At 9pm, a hospital colleague told him that a few kilometres away, in Aramoana, someone with a gun had started shooting.
As it turned out, Mullen had heard of the perpetrator before; one of his long-term patients was the man’s nextdoor neighbour, and soon Mullen would learn that many other people he knew had been injured or killed.

Find more stories from the moment I knew series
In the mid-60s, my family followed my father’s work to a caravan park in Gladstone, central Queensland. He worked in construction and the sprawling transient accommodation for the hundreds of families who’d relocated to build an aluminium plant became our home. I was going on 16 and sulking about having to change schools, again. Then I met Paul.
Back in those days people made their own fun. We often had huge parties at the caravan park, and Paul, an apprentice electrician, would volunteer to rig up the lighting.

Unbeaten Rybakina takes home £3.98m
Elena Rybakina re-established herself as one of the significant players in women’s tennis as she closed out a week of devastating performances against the best in the world by completely overpowering Aryna Sabalenka to capture one of the biggest titles of her career at the WTA Finals in Riyadh with a 6-3, 7-6 (0) win.
Having finished the season-ending tournament unbeaten in her five matches, Rybakina is now $5.235m (£3.98m) richer, earning the greatest prize money haul in the history of women’s sports. The victory marks the 26-year-old’s fourth big title after wins at Wimbledon in 2022, and Indian Wells and the Italian Open a year later. This is her third title of the season and her 11th title on the WTA Tour overall.
Continue reading...guardianworldnews_feedDespair and rancour stalk the concrete corridors of the place that still feels nothing like home for West Ham. Though hope is not yet extinguished. A second home win in succession for Nuno Espírito Santo’s team, with old faithful Tomas Soucek key in defeating a fellow relegation contender in Burnley.
Three points wrested from a contest low on proficiency may prove vital in the fight against the London Stadium staging Championship football next season. “It means everything,” said Nuno.
Once Soucek had scored the Hammers’ second, before his shot was spilled into fellow sub Kyle Walker-Peters’ path for the third, home fans were singing lustily. They had already made it known once again, and in no uncertain terms, what they think of those running the club. Following protests against Crystal Palace, the boycotting of the Brentford game, a sit-in against Newcastle, a pre-match march had been staged.

It was fitting that Ephron Mason-Clark was the provider of the decisive moment of quality, perhaps the most important goal of his career to date, to stretch Coventry’s lead at the Championship summit to five points.
With full-time four minutes away, Mason-Clark left the floor acrobatically to meet Ellis Simms’ flick-on and send 3,300 Coventry fans into a wild dance. In a match played at a ferocious pace, he had provided the missing ace.
