Shame Chelsea didn’t manage one more goal. Would have set an all-time league record of seven successive wins at the same ground scoring three or more times in each. Instead, matches our own shared record of six at Burnley and between 1960 and 1965 at Arsenal (4-1, 4-1, 3-0, 4-2, 3-1, 3-1)

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.
When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.
Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.
