Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm really proud of the team's performance and the spirit they showed. We did better after 10 or 15 minutes but we were a little bit impatient in the final third.
"We were too impatient and eager. It was a little bit up and down. In the second half we moved the ball quicker and switched from left to right and we saw the confidence grow.
"Liam Delap's hit didn't surprise me because I see it in training. That's what a striker should do. I feel this goal gave him a lot of confidence because he was a lot more present. It was a top team performance."
Nottingham Forest striker Igor Jesus, who scored the 88th-minute winner: "It's our first win in the Premier League this season and we know how important it is for us. It's very important for us and we need to keep it going. I just want to say thank you to everyone who came to support us today."

Raegan said Bashir has multiple disabilities, including autism and bipolar disorder, and claimed Bilal has shown "complete disregard" while she manages their son's needs. "I am caring for him alone while his father continues to live his life," she wrote.
Raegan did not detail what **** istance she believes Bilal has withheld or provide specific information about her abuse allegation in the post.

On Saturday, Lazio will be aiming to preserve their perfect Serie A record when they host fellow undefeated AC Milan.
This will be Gennaro Gattuso's biggest test to date as Biancocelesti manager, as he prepares to host the club he called home for 14 years. The Calabrian will be engaged in a thrilling tactical battle against his opposite number Ruben Amorim, who is enjoying a positive start to his maiden year in Italian football. Nevertheless, the outcome will be determined by the 22 men on the pitch.
Hence, it's time to take a closer look at some of the most interesting duels that are expected to take place all over the pitch when Lazio and Milan lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico.
Among Lazio's seven summer signings, Danilho Doekhi was probably the least exciting arrival, as the fanbase was quick to label him as a depth player rather than a protagonist. Perhaps this will be the case once Josip Sutalo is up and running, but in the meantime, the Dutchman has been solid at the back, forming a good understanding with Oliver Provstgaard.

For those of an earlier generation, ******* an and football had one connection: the adventures of Captain Tsubasa, known as Oliver Hutton in the West, the fictional young striker who would go on to play in Brazil before moving to Europe. The cartoon became a reality with Hidetoshi Nakata, the distinctive and talented attacking midfielder who made his name with Perugia and won the Scudetto with Roma, paving the way for a wave of ******* anese players in Serie A at the turn of the millennium. One of them even made his way to Milano, via Emilia-Romagna.
Yuto Nagatomo, the last ******* anese player in the history of the Nerazzurri, and also the first, turns 40 today.
He arrived through one of those winding transfer routes, in a loan swap with Cesena in January 2011. Davide Santon went to Emilia-Romagna, while Inter welcomed a ******* anese full-back who was barely 1.70 metres tall, and powered by seemingly endless batteries that always left him with more energy than everyone else. Seven of his first nine goals for Inter came in the final half-hour, when he was still charging forward. The secret? Umeboshi. ******* anese salted plums, a great remedy for fatigue. He ate them before every game. It was also the result of a thoroughly Eastern discipline, combined with a football education that arrived slightly later than usual. Yuto did not come through the academy at a major club. He played football at school until he was 20. At first, this was a tactical limitation; later, it became a strength. He moved in ways which were neither conventional nor codified, which led him into extreme situations. He would, for example, end up in the opposition box, more often than you might expect, even scoring a header at Marassi in 2011. It was the kind of game you can picture, with Nagatomo scoring 1-0, despite almost always being the shortest player on the team. Or right on the edge of the box, as in Turin the following year, when, at the end of a scrappy but determined move, he set up Rodrigo Palacio for Inter's final goal in a 3-1 win away to Juventus, their first victory there in nine years. Or when he had the courage, or perhaps the recklessness, to take the decisive penalty; Inter vs Pordenone, a one-off Coppa Italia tie, an astonishing 0-0 after 120 minutes. It was the ******* anese player who spared Inter the embarrassment in a half-frozen San Siro, called upon by the entire stadium to take the final penalty. "Yuto, Yuto, Yuto." It was an inevitable goal which secured a place in the next round.
Nagatomo really did become Captain Tsubasa, both because, like the hero of the manga and anime, he made it to San Siro, and because he actually appeared in the manga, or rather, in Holly and Benji. In 2019, he even dubbed himself. Because sometimes it is hard to tell fantasy from reality.
Happy Birthday, Yuto-San.

ZURICH, Sept 10 (Reuters) - A major shareholder in Novartis has called for a shake-up of the Swiss drugmaker's board to improve corporate governance after its shares suffered a record fall this week following back-to-back trial setbacks.
David Samra, managing director at top 20 investor Artisan Partners and founding partner of International Value Group, said the board needed to strengthen its oversight of acquisitions, calling for action from board chairman Giovanni Caforio.
"I think he needs to make changes at the board level. One of them should be on improving the team that's doing these deals because clearly they have been uninspiring at best," Samra told Reuters in an interview.
"I think that the board needs to improve their oversight of acquisitions... they need to bring in better talent on the board to do that and have an acquisition committee."

On the September 8 episode of her Sibling Revelry podcast with brother Oliver Hudson, she openly discussed the issues she's having with organizing a wedding to her long-time fiancé. And it's not about cold feet whatsoever.

"And then every time we start thinking about who we have to invite, Danny's like, 'I just want a small wedding.' I'm like, 'Our family alone is like 50 people.' There's a million kids. There's a million uncles and aunts and cousins."

EASTON -- The Oliver Ames High football team's defense is off to a flying start.
The Tigers allowed a one-play touchdown drive in the fourth quarter but otherwise clamped down on Archbishop Williams to post a 14-6 season-opening win on Thursday, Sept. 10.
"We got the defense together," said senior cornerback/running back Desahn Walker. "We kept on putting our foot on the (gas) pedal and got it done."
Walker got it done on both sides of the ball as he ripped off a 60-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to extend the Tigers' lead to 14-0 with 5:59 remaining.
That score gave OA the cushion it needed to withstand its one defensive wobble. On the ensuing play from scrimmage, Archbishop Williams quarterback Thomas Prifti went up top and hit Michael Boyle with a 66-yard TD bomb down the left sideline just 19 seconds after Walker's TD.

Jamie Oliver sent fans into a frenzy when he unearthed an incredible photograph of himself and wife Jools from their very first holiday together.
The celebrity chef, 51, took a trip down memory lane on Saturday, sharing the snap from a sun-soaked getaway to Crete's Spinalonga peninsula more than three decades ago.
The childhood sweethearts looked almost unrecognisable in the photograph, with Jamie sporting tousled blond hair beneath a backwards baseball cap, round sunglasses and a checked shirt.
Jools, meanwhile, looked effortlessly cool in a cropped checked shirt worn over a black bikini top, tiny shorts and matching backwards cap as she wrapped an arm around her future husband.

George Kittle is still working towards his full recovery as the San Francisco 49ers are close to beginning their 2026 NFL season. The team will open their regular season with a special international game in Australia against the Los Angeles Rams on September 11, 2026.
Kittle suffered a serious injury last season which kept him out for much of the offseason. He has returned to training recently, and also had to defend his teammates online.
The 49ers arrived in Melbourne ahead of their historic Week 1 matchup against the Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It will be the first ever NFL game played in Australia and is part of the league's strategy to attract international viewers. As part of their stay, the team checked into the Park Hyatt Melbourne, where they were greeted by general manager Oliver Kahf and the hotel's ambassador named Charlie.

Charlie is an eight-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever also known as Crescendo Charlie, and serves as the hotel's full-time ambassador. He succeeded the longtime guide-dog retiree Mr. Walker and focuses on guest engagement throughout the property. The 49ers organization had sent a custom team jersey with Charlie's name for the occasion, which the dog wore during the arrival.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State football's offensive line will be under a microscope throughout the first few weeks of the season due to the preseason injuries that have mounted.
The concern began when the Wildcats announced left tackle John Pastore would miss the season after suffering a lower-leg injury. Pastore, an NFL Draft prospect, was supposed to anchor the group after receiving preseason All-Big 12 recognition.
Those concerns continued to build after Klein said earlier this week that freshman Oliver Miller would miss the first few weeks after getting hurt in practice. Miller was one of the main candidates to replace Pastore at left tackle for the season. They also could be without starting left guard Tanner Morley, who Klein said is day-to-day.
Kansas State isn't required to release an injury update ahead of its Saturday, Sept. 5 game against Nicholls, which kicks off at 6 p.m. We'll update this page ahead of kickoff as players emerge from the tunnel to warm up.
John Pastore (LT) — Out for the season

Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner claimed the video **** istant referee (VAR) was "guessing" and should not have intervened in ruling out Neco Williams' goal in their 0-0 draw with Tottenham.
Williams' second-half effort was chalked off with the full-back adjudged to have bundled the ball in with his arm after some calamitous Tottenham defending at the City Ground.
The Forest defender denied it came off his arm and insisted it should have stood.
Initially, referee Craig Pawson awarded the goal but VAR Peter Bankes intervened.
"I watched five or six different angles and, to be fair, from one angle you can guess that the ball touched the arm because the shirt moves a little bit, but it's not clear is it the ball or [Sandro] Tonali on the goalline," said Glasner.

The second half saw debuts for new Bhoys, Oliver Sørensen and Shim Mheuka as the Celts cemented their place at the top of the table and now look forward to a game at the home of second-placed St Mirren on Saturday night.

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Tottenham at the City Ground (15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner confirmed Daniel Munoz could make his debut after his move from Crystal Palace but the Colombia defender is still working towards full fitness: "He is available. He arrived late after the World Cup and had a short pre-season. He played in a mask at Everton because he had surgery on his nose for his breathing."
More on signing Munoz, who Glasner managed at Crystal Palace: "We want to add quality and mentality, and Daniel Munoz has proven both in the Premier League and also at the World Cup. He is very reliable, his mentality is incredible but also it will take time for him to settle in and know everyone. As soon as we were informed he was available then we knew it could be a great addition and the club worked hard to find a solution."
Glasner has been pleased with fellow summer signing Liam Delap's impact so far: "We can see he is not in a match rhythm but his impact in the Liverpool game was really good. The second goal comes from his running, his power, and also his quick throw-in. His physical presence, his runs, his power - that is what we have seen, especially when he played for Ipswich. He showed that in 30 minutes at Liverpool so it is good to have him here."

A football roster is always in the process of being adjusted. However, the degree of roster change in late August and early September is particularly notable. Things are no different in Minnesota.
Yesterday, the Vikings snagged a pair of newcomers. Consider what the team's official social media had to say: "The #Vikings have signed TE Cam Grandy and DL Naquan Jones to the practice squad. TE Marshall Lang has been released from the practice squad."
Note that Minnesota went into these decisions with an open spot on the practice squad. As a result, going +2 with new players alongside just a -1 made the math work.
In Cam Grandy, the Vikings are welcoming a tight end who boasts good size. He's a sturdy 6'5″ and 253 pounds (but a spot like PFF lists him as being a touch larger, coming in at 260 on there). For comparison, T.J. Hockenson is listed as being 6'5″ and 248 pounds. Josh Oliver, meanwhile, is a hulking 6'5″ and 264 pounds.

The Tennessee ******* ans have been churning their roster over the past couple of days. First, the initial cuts down to 53, followed by a Monday swap of five players.
During the wave of initial cuts, wide receiver Bryce Oliver was an unexpected cut, with the ******* ans initially keeping wide receiver Xavier Restrepo as the team's sixth receiver. That move was somewhat of a surprise because Oliver has developed into one of the elite special teamers on the roster.
After not being added to the initial ******* ans' 17-man practice squad, many wondered when/if it would happen, and now we know why. Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated reports that Oliver has signed with the Cleveland Browns and will bring his special-teams abilities to their practice squad.
Former #Titans WR Bryce Oliver is signing with the Cleveland Browns' practice squad, per source.
Oliver was considered a lock by many to make Tennessee's 53-man roster. He was a surprise cut, and now he lands in Cleveland.
Elite special teams player.
While losing Oliver will potentially hurt the ******* ans' special teams depth, the decision to initially keep Restrepo over Oliver did make some sense: Restrepo produced as a slot receiver, while Oliver has never truly established himself as a potential weapon on offense. He flashed since joining the ******* ans as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2024, but could never put it together consistently.

Celtic are hopeful of signing Landon Emenalo on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea. The 18-year-old was expected to join Martin O'Neill's side as they look to provide left-back cover for Kieran Tierney.
Emenalo, who was included in Xabi Alonso's pre-season camp, has been up to Lennoxtown but a deal was delayed due to an injury. Now, Sky Sports' Anthony Joseph has revealed that parties are hopeful of concluding a deal tonight.
Celtic are expected to add Chelsea striker Shim Mheuka, who has completed a medical in London. The England U19 International has travelled to Glasgow and is expected to complete a loan switch.
The Hoops have signed Parma midfielder Oliver Sorensen on loan, with an option to buy, while Preston are close to signing Johnny Kenny in a deal worth £3m.

Marnus Labuschagne has been left out of Australia's ODI squad for the upcoming tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa, raising more questions about his future in the national team.
The batter had a poor run during Australia's recent ODI series in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Although he finished the Bangladesh campaign with an unbeaten 55 after being moved down the batting order, it was not enough to secure his place.
With Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh returning, Australia's selectors decided to leave Labuschagne out. His omission could also affect his chances of playing in the upcoming three-Test series against South Africa, especially after his disappointing performances against Bangladesh.
The six ODIs against Zimbabwe and South Africa are important for Australia's preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Australia will be led by Mitchell Marsh in Zimbabwe, while Pat ****** mins will join the team for the South Africa leg. ****** mins and Marsh could share captaincy duties depending on ****** mins' workload. Mitchell Starc will return for the South Africa matches, while Josh Hazlewood has been selected for both series.
Australia's ODI squad:Xavier Bartlett, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Pat ****** mins (SA only), Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Marsh, Oliver Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Billy Stanlake, Mitchell Starc (SA only), Adam Zampa.
New South Wales all-rounder Joel Davies has received his first ODI call-up after impressing in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Left-handed batter Ollie Peake has also kept his place.
Australia have added fast bowlers Spencer Johnson and Billy Stanlake. Johnson returns after recovering from a lengthy injury, while Stanlake recently ended a more than seven-year wait for another international appearance.
Cooper Connolly will remain with the ODI squad after his impressive 149 against Bangladesh.
The Zimbabwe series starts on September 15 in Harare, followed by matches on September 18 and 20. Australia will then play South Africa on September 24, 27 and 30.

Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge says Oliver Glasner's side "were the better team" against Liverpool and should have won the game.
Forest fans were dreaming of a third consecutive league win at Anfield when Morgan Gibbs-White gave them the lead from the spot, but Liverpool rallied again and Victor Munoz's late strike ensured the points were shared.
"We should have won [the match] with the chances we created, especially in the first half," said Hodge on BBC Radio Nottingham. "We were against a really lacklustre Liverpool team, who at times looked weak at the back and unsure of themselves.
"Forest have gone to Anfield and scored two goals and overall, were the better team. They had better team cohesion."

Nottingham Forest have enquired about the possibility of signing Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Oliver Glasner wants to add a new first-choice goalkeeper to his squad before the deadline, and Forest have had an offer turned down for former loanee Dean Henderson of Crystal Palace.
According to journalistMatteo Moretto, Forest have contacted Liverpool to discuss Mamardashvili's availability. The Georgia international joined Liverpool from Valencia for an initial fee of £25m last summer and made 10 Premier League appearances last season.
The 25-year-old is understood to feel frustrated about his role heading into the current campaign, with Alisson Becker remaining at Anfield as number one goalkeeper, despite speculation over a potential move to Juventus.
Liverpool also have issues around registration rules. Clubs can register a maximum of 17 players not classed as a 'homegrown player', with the Reds reaching that limit afterthe arrival of Ronald Araujo from Barcelona.

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso will reportedly make a trio of changes to his starting lineup when they host Genoa on Sunday, including two compulsory ones.
The Biancocelesti began their Serie A campaign with an away victory in Bologna thanks to Davide Frattesi's solitary strike. The Italian midfielder came off the bench to replace the injured Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. The manager also had to make another compulsory change during the match, bring in Romano Floriani Mussolini for Adam Marusic.
With both players expected to remain on the sidelines for at least 20 days, Frattesi and Floriani Mussolini will be making their first starts of the season. The Inter Milan loanee will join Kenneth Taylor and Nicolo in the midfield trio, while Floriani Mussolini will slot in at right-back, with the rest of the defence remaining intact with Danilo Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard, and Alfonso Pedraza.
In attack, Sky Sport Italia and La Lazio Siamo Noi expect a third change to take place, with Gustav Isaksen dropping Matteo Cancellieri to the bench. The Dane missed the entire pre-season while recovering from groin surgery, but made his return in the second half at the Renato Dall'Ara and was considered an upgrade on his Italian teammate.

One Liverpool player was called out for a costly lapse shortly before Nottingham Forest's second goal at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
With 20 minutes of normal time remaining, Oliver Glasner's team took the lead for the second time on the day as Morgan Gibbs-White converted a penalty that Clinton Morrison felt was 'harsh' on the home side.
The spot kick was awarded after Alisson Becker was adjudged to have fouled Neco Williams inside the box, with the Forest full-back the fastest to react to a throw-in taken quickly by Liam Delap.
Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle observed that the passage of play which led to the penalty incident stemmed from a lapse in concentration by Jeremie Frimpong, who allowed Williams to run off him and then was too slow to react as the throw-in was taken.
The reporter posted on X: 'Forest win a penalty as Williams is downed by Alisson. All came from Frimpong switching off at throw.'

Wingers come in different guises and at different prices. On the day Liverpool agreed to pay up to £123m for Bradley Barcola, the man signed for rather less, and with rather less fanfare, again spared Andoni Iraola a first defeat of his reign. On Sunday at Newcastle, Victor Munoz won the penalty that produced Dominik Szoboszlai's 99th-minute equaliser. On his Anfield bow, the £34m Spaniard delivered a devastating equaliser.
That both contributions came from the right flank, though he had started on the left against Nottingham Forest, may be pertinent. The presumption is that Barcola will be used on the left. While Liverpool are yet to replace Mohamed Salah, they got two equalisers from the men stationed in his old spot here, with Cody Gakpo affording Alexander Isak a tap-in. The Dutchman is scarcely a right winger and faces an uncertain future at the end of the window. If Munoz had a fine introduction, this could prove Gakpo's goodbye, and his was a valiant effort.
An encouraging element for Liverpool is that Iraola has exerted an impact with his changes in each of his first two games. Munoz, who came on at St James' Park, swapped flanks at Anfield, took Florian Wirtz's pass, span and unleashed a vicious shot, even if a deflection off Murillo helped. It may not have been the first example of fine decision-making by Iraola: he pushed for Munoz's signing when Newcastle were closing in on his signature. "Victor has been very good both games," said Iraola. "Everything hasn't been perfect but he tries again and again and again and I like this from the wingers."
And so his tenure has begun with twin 2-2 draws. If it promises to be fun, at times his Liverpool can be both fast and flawed. Yet this underlined the size of his task if Iraola is to succeed his way. Liverpool had more defensive difficulties, with a susceptibility to the counter-attack again apparent, but with variations on a theme. Newcastle had scored twice by running straight through the heart of Iraola's team. Forest struck twice courtesy of ******* in behind, the first punted 80 yards by goalkeeper Matz Sels; both involved throw-ins, too, the second a quick one by the debutant Liam Delap.
After the Forest striker added to the family tradition of Delap throw-ins, Alisson upended Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White, an increasingly regular scourge of Liverpool, converted the resulting penalty. "It could and probably should have been a win," said Oliver Glasner. "Very proud of the performance but frustrated and disappointed about the result." So both new managers remain winless.
