Milan prevailed in Florence also thanks to a decisive display from Mike Maignan... Читать дальше...

The protesters, led by Arab members of the Israeli parliament, marched through the northern town of Deir Hanna waving Palestinian flags and carrying banners reading: "Stop the war on Gaza".

Postecoglou's side were rocked by Tahith Chong's third-minute opener for struggling Luton in north London.

"I'm still hoping that Kylian will change his mind. He hasn't said anything yet. He can still change his mind," the 53-year-old Spaniard told Prime Video.

Scotland, fresh from a narrow first-round defeat of Wales, went 5-3 up after hooker Ellis Martin scored a try six minutes before the break after France broke the deadlock at Edinburgh's Hive ground with a Lina Queyroi penalty. It was an impressive effort by the Scots given they were thrashed 55-0 by France in last season's Women's Six Nations. But the home side's rhythm was disrupted when Molly Wright, on as a replacement for Martin, was injured in tackle just seconds after taking the field. Following a lengthy delay for treatment...

An action-packed afternoon also saw Newcastle come from 3-1 down to stun West Ham 4-3 and Fulham hit back for a 3-3 draw at bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United.
