2 - Declan Rice is the fifth player to score two direct free-kick goals in the same Champions League match, after Rivaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, and Hakim Ziyech, and the first to do so against Real Madrid. Stellar.

2006 - Luka Modric's first appearance at the Emirates - on 23 August 2006 for Dinamo Zagreb against Arsenal in a UEFA Champions League qualifier - was 34 days before Myles Lewis-Skelly was born, who he will be facing tonight. Longevity.

This is a very serious situation. We must stamp out the scourge of players flapping their arms like seagulls or sitting peacefully on the ground after scoring a goal.

Ethan Nwaneri's goal ended a passing sequence of 36 uninterrupted passes in a move that lasted one minute & 54 seconds and involved every Arsenal outfield player.

It was the longest passing move leading to a Premier League goal since September 2023.

Amnesty describe it as "an astonishing whitewash", and criticise how Fifa ignored their own report to provide compensation for migrant workers in Qatar

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
