Isak completes Liverpool’s comeback win as Brentford finish with nine

If Liverpool’s spluttering forwards end up remembering this as the day when their luck turned then they will owe a big debt of gratitude to Yehor Yarmolyuk. This was a game with a very clear before and after.Andoni Iraola will hope surviving one of the toughest tests the Premier League has to offer is a sign his methods are starting to work, but Liverpool’s manager will not forget it was a very different contest after Yarmolyuk’s red card for a butt on Jérémy Jacquet left Brentford trying to defend a 1-0 lead with 10 men for the entire second half.

Boos for Arsenal as draw with Birmingham extends winless WSL run

An equaliser from Olivia Smith averted defeat for Arsenal, but a home draw with Birmingham did little to calm fears for Renée Slegers’s future as Gunners coach. Boos accompanied the final whistle at the Emirates Stadium, as the result left Arsenal on six points from six matches and without a win in five Women’s Super League matches, the club’s longest winless run in WSL history.

They are eighth in the table, nine points behind the leaders, Manchester City, who have played one game fewer.Birmingham opened the scoring at the start of the second half when Océane Hurtré coolly tapped in after her run from the halfway line went unchecked. Alessia Russo had hit the woodwork in the first half with a diving header, among a slew of Arsenal chances as Sophie Baggaley was kept the busier of the goalkeepers.

Tigers defeat Twins to open KBO postseason series

GWANGJU — Slugger Kim Do-yeong homered twice and drove in four runs, while starter James Naile tossed seven innings of one-run ball, as the Kia Tigers rallied past the LG Twins 5-1 to begin their South Korean baseball postseason series at home Saturday. Kim smacked a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to break a 1-1 tie and then drove in an insurance run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in Gwangju, some 270 kilometers south of Seoul.

Kim then put an exclamation mark with a two-run home run in the eighth inning. Naile held the Twins to a run on four hits over seven effective innings in front of a sellout crowd of 18,000. Game 2 is 2 p.m. Sunday at the same Gwangju stadium.

In the past 10 editions of the best-of-five first round, teams that claimed the first game went on to win the series nine times.

Container gardens are pots of fun – and autumn is the ideal time to give them a makeover

Here is everything I’ve learned from my container gardener days – from the best plants to choose for low-maintenance gardening to why it pays to go bigWhen I was a container gardener, this was the time of year I’d start to think about sprucing up my pots.

It’s similar to a seasonal wardrobe switcheroo: putting shorts and summer dresses away until next year; getting jumpers out from under the bed and inspecting for moth holes. The pots, which usually had some late summer goodies in them, would be looking a bit worse for wear and I’d heave them all up, replace the compost and put in new things to perk up the balcony for the cooler months.The more I gardened, the more I left the pots alone.

They became their own annual microgardens, with bulbs and perennials that rose and died back like little symphonies. Far less hard work, aside from a heavy mulch now and another in the spring, occasionally removing a bit of dead foliage and watering in the summer. Continue reading...

Experience: I rate benches

My Instagram page started as something to amuse my friends, but it took off – and led to me meeting Sophie, who is now my wifeThe idea came to me in summer 2019, when I finished studying at Swansea University. One day I went walking with friends around the beautiful Penllergare Valley woods.

As they played Poohsticks, I sat on a bench and took in the view.I noticed that someone had left flowers on the bench. I wondered who had put them there, who they were for, and why they’d chosen this location. By the time we reached the next bench along the route, I was deep in thought about all the people who had sat there before me.
