Inspired Cantlay challenges Fleetwood in bid for Tour Championship glory

  • Home hope Cantlay birdies four of last five holes

  • Fleetwood tied for East Lake lead after 67

Keegan Bradley, Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay? Just when Tommy Fleetwood looked to have a firm grip on this Tour Championship, Cantlay emerged from the shadows in a bid to become the third member of the US Ryder Cup contingent in the course of this season to deny Fleetwood the win he is long overdue on American soil. It feels poetic that Cantlay was front and centre as Fleetwood and Europe triumphed over the US in Rome two years ago. If it is to be Tommy’s time, he will have to scrap for it. Cantlay might be in his home country but so many of the Atlanta gallery will root for the hugely popular Fleetwood on day four.

Cantlay birdied four of his last five holes at East Lake to produce a back nine of 31 in an overall 64. Cantlay’s 16 under par topped Fleetwood until the Southport golfer rolled in a birdie putt from 10ft at the 17th. Fleetwood’s 67 meant he is tied at the leaderboard summit with Cantlay, 18 holes from home.

Arteta welcomes Eze but worried by ‘significant’ Saka injury and Ødegaard blow

  • Eze called Arteta last week to ask about potential move

  • Saka and Ødegaard taken off, raising doubt for Anfield

Mikel Arteta said Eberechi Eze had called him on Wednesday as he considered whether to sign for Tottenham to check if there might still be a route to Arsenal for him.

“Yes, that shows you how much he wanted to come,” Arteta said, as he reflected on the final twist to a saga in which Arsenal acted on their longstanding interest in Eze to gazump Spurs. “It’s very difficult sometimes because you want to be very transparent and open with the players. They have to make decisions that are very important.”

US immigration officials intend to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Uganda

Salvadorian refused offer of deportation to Costa Rica before he was released to await trial on human smuggling charges

US immigration officials said they intend to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Uganda, after he declined an offer to be deported to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges, according to a Saturday court filing.

The Costa Rica offer came late on Thursday, after it was clear that the Salvadorian national would probably be released from a Tennessee jail the following day.

Peacemaker season two review – the orgy scene feels like a TV first

John Cena puts in an Emmy-worthy performance in a DC superhero drama whose lengthy group sex scene isn’t exactly new to television. But a follow-up episode about the logistics of clean-up? You don’t see that very often

With his medicine-ball biceps and chin worthy of an Easter Island moai, the wrestler turned actor John Cena can actually pull off wearing a daft comic book outfit, shiny silver helmet and all. That’s what makes Cena’s spandex-clad Chris Smith AKA Peacemaker so inherently funny: he looks the part but is a demonstrably terrible superhero. Being a hard-charging, self-sabotaging meathead with a propensity for violence and a hair-trigger temper will never make you as beloved as Superman. But it can be highly entertaining to watch.

To give Peacemaker his due, he is a survivor. He was first introduced in James Gunn’s 2021 movie The Suicide Squad, a film that bumped off cast members with glee, before getting his own small-screen spin-off overseen by Gunn in 2022. That brash and blackly comic first season shaded in some childhood trauma – Smith accidentally killed his older brother in a brawl instigated by their racist father – but also gave Peacemaker his first big win: saving the world from an alien invasion by sparkly butterfly creatures.

‘I won’t be holding back’: Jack Draper raring to go at US Open after injury layoff

  • British No 1 has not played singles since Wimbledon

Jack Draper believes he will not be held back by any physical pain as he faces the challenge of finding his form at the US Open after a seven-week injury hiatus.

Draper, the fifth seed in New York, has not competed in singles since a difficult loss to Marin Cilic in the second round of Wimbledon after learning that he had been suffering from bone bruising in his left arm.

Zohran Mamdani leads in fundraising for New York City mayoral contest

The Democratic nominee far outpaces former governor Andrew Cuomo and embattled incumbent Eric Adams

Zohran Mamdani pulled in almost double the funds of his nearest rivals for New York City mayor between early July and mid-August, as the candidates prepare for the crucial post Labor Day push to the November poll.

New York’s City’s campaign finance board said on Saturday that the democratic socialist, who won the Democratic party nomination in June against former state governor Andrew Cuomo, raised $1,051,200, with an average donation of $121 recorded equally from donors in and outside the state.

Guardiola defends Trafford selection after error in Manchester City’s defeat by Spurs

  • ‘He made a good first game,’ says manager

  • Thomas Frank pleased with Spurs scorer Palhinha

Pep Guardiola defended selecting James Trafford ahead of Ederson and said Manchester City lost 2-0 to Tottenham because “we missed the simple things”.

Ederson was a substitute at the Etihad Stadium and a sloppy ball from Trafford led to João Palhinha scoring Spurs’ second goal at the end of the first half. The 22-year-old goalkeeper, who rejoined City from Burnley for £31m this summer, tried to find Nico González, but passed instead to Pape Matar Sarr, the ball eventually reaching Palhinha.

The moment I knew: after her accident, I had all the time and energy in the world to help her recover

When Tom McAlister first met Sam, he felt drawn to her. When he found out she’d been hurt, they learned the lengths they would go to to help each other

At 21, I was floating through life with few plans or aspirations. I had a part-time job at a sneaker shop in Potts Point and spent most of my shifts gazing idly out the window. In December 2011, a woman I’d never seen before wandered past. I was instantly drawn to this coolness she exuded, but as she walked on by I figured that was it, I’d never see her again. A few minutes later, she came back from the other direction and walked right in. Later, I’d learn she had noticed me too and had come back for a closer look, but at the time I was oblivious, far more worried about how I’d shoot my shot now she was right in front of me.

She was really friendly and asked about a very specific pair of shoes. We didn’t have her size and I knew we’d never stock them again, but I went through the motions of taking down her details anyway. There was definitely a little vibe, and as it turned out we were both using the same goofy tactics to maximise our exposure to each other. She had no interest in the shoes.

I’ve been diagnosed with cancer twice in the past 12 months. Here’s what the pamphlets don’t tell you | Emily Thompson

The hospital gave me a stack of helpful information when I was first diagnosed last Christmas. But they didn’t tell me to bring spare underwear to work

I’m 45 years old and currently battling cancer. A few weeks ago, I threw up at work with such force that I peed myself. My first thought was: the treatment pamphlets tell you to sip peppermint tea and keep a fan at your desk for nausea, but nowhere did they mention you might find yourself in the staff bathroom vomiting so hard you become incontinent. If they had, I’d have popped a spare pair of undies in my work bag.

I was diagnosed just before Christmas last year. It was a complete shock: I was 44 and the healthiest I’d been in years. At first, I was given an excellent prognosis, and after the initial shock, I rallied like never before. I decided I was going to face this head-on, full of positive energy.

Julia Schell scores six tries as Canada thrash Fiji in Women’s Rugby World Cup

  • Pool B: Canada 65-7 Fiji

  • Impressive Canada score 11 tries in ominous display

Canada are quietly going about their business as the dark horses of this Rugby World Cup with eyes firmly on the hosts, England, and the defending champions, New Zealand. The team may benefit from flying under the radar with less pressure on their shoulders but it does not make them any less a contender for the trophy. The clinical nature of their opener against Fiji announced their arrival in England in style, particularly through the full-back Julia Schell who was spectacular in the second half as she scored six tries in 21 minutes.

Schell’s performance may have inspired girls to pick up a rugby ball but she is used to trying to make change. She grew up playing ice hockey and petitioned at elementary school for women to be able to do open-ice hitting as it was banned. “My petition said ‘girls should be able to hit’ but it was fitting how I ended up in rugby where it is the same for men and women,” Schell said post-match. “To score six tries feels good. I was joking with the fans, one said just before the first one ‘200 bucks for a try’ so I have to find him!”

Ruben Amorim faces more pressure despite reasons for optimism at United | Jonathan Wilson

Club who used to inspire fear now inspire pity and the head coach, with no credit in the bank, needs a victory at Fulham

Encouraging signs. Gimmers of promises. Green shoots. It is indicative of just how far Manchester United have sunk that the reaction to their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last Sunday was not shock or scorn or even schadenfreude; it was encouragement. United used to inspire fear in opponents; now they inspire pity.

It is not that there were no reasons for optimism for United. The new forwards who started, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, looked intermittently dangerous. Mason Mount offered a reminder of his quality and if he can stay fit he could have a major role to play. Patrick Dorgu dominated his flank. Amad Diallo sparkled after coming off the bench. David Raya was forced to make seven saves. Dorgu hit a post. There were plausible claims for a penalty when William Saliba appeared to go through the back of Cunha. Opta’s xG model had United winning 1.5 to 1.3.

Arsenal put five past Leeds but lose Ødegaard and Saka to injury

It was an occasion that was transcended by someone who did not play but had so much more to chew over from an Arsenal point of view. The club showed off their new signing, Eberechi Eze, parading him beforehand and screening a welcome video for him at half-time.

As the goals flew in to defeat Leeds, the cutaways to him in the stands were inevitable. Eze’s signing has the feel of a coup and not only because Arsenal, in the vernacular of the trade, properly did over Tottenham to land him.

Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Bernie Sanders in urging US to end Gaza famine

Breaking from most of her peers in Congress, far-right Georgia Republican has also described crisis as a genocide

Amid mostly silence in Congress, some US lawmakers on opposite sides of the political spectrum spoke out Saturday over a UN-backed report warning of famine in parts of Gaza.

“Let’s be clear: President Trump has the power to end the starvation of the Palestinian people,” Vermont’s politically independent senator Bernie Sanders posted on X. “Instead he is doing nothing while watching this famine unfold. Enough is enough. No more American taxpayer dollars to Nethanyahu’s [sic] war machine.”

Pollard shines as South Africa bounce back to beat Australia in Rugby Championship

  • South Africa 30-22 Australia

  • Springboks avenge shock loss to Wallabies

Handré Pollard put in a commanding performance at fly-half as a more pragmatic South Africa beat Australia in their second Rugby Championship Test in Cape Town to reignite the defence of their title.

Australia stunned the world champions 38-22 in their competition opener in Johannesburg last Saturday as the hosts tried to play an expansive gameplan with ball in hand and were picked off. This time round they turned it into an aerial contest, marshalled superbly by Pollard, who kicked 15 points to go with tries by the wing Canan Moodie, the No 8 Kwagga Smith and the lock Eben Etzebeth.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace in a deal worth £67.5m. The 27-year-old has joined on a four-year contract, with the option of a fifth year, after Arsenal beat Tottenham to his signature.

Spurs had been the frontrunners to sign the England international after stepping up their interest last weekend, but their deal was hijacked by Arsenal on Wednesday. They moved in after Kai Havertz sustained a knee injury during their win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Can I pop this? 18 common skincare questions, answered by dermatologists

If you’re ready for some hard truths (no, you should not pop that pimple) our panel of six expert dermatologists gave us all the science-backed answers

We asked our expert dermatologists: what are the questions you hear over and over from patients? And we got answers. From the right order to apply skincare products, to how much face scrubbing is too much, it turns out a lot of us have the same questions, even when we don’t always want to hear the answers.

For instance: do I really need to wear sunscreen? “I feel like we’ve given you all the reasons why, and debunked all the different myths and all the reasons from TikTok why you shouldn’t wear it, but as soon as you clear one [post or video], another one pops up,” says Dr Corey L Hartman, a dermatologist in Birmingham, Alabama.

Sri Lanka’s former president was admitted to hospital on Saturday, a day after he was charged with using public funds to finance private international travel, as the government intensified its crackdown on corruption.

Ranil Wickremesinghe, 76, was remanded in custody on Friday after being accused of using taxpayers’ money to pay for a two-day visit to the UK in September 2023 to attend a ceremony at the University of Wolverhampton granting an honorary professorship to his wife.
