Sammie Szmodics has made quite the impact at Derby County since completing his loan move from Ipswich Town, as his new team continue to push for the play-offs.

I think when we decided to give him the race seat one and a half years ago, we hoped for this trajectory. The ups and downs you expect from a young driver aged 18 in the first year, and eventually by the second year [we hoped] the success would materialize and I think this is happening.

Kimi Antonelli won the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday for his second straight victory as the 19-year-old Italian became the youngest driver in Formula One history to lead the world championship standings.

Zion Avina delivered the game-winning hit in a 2-1 win over Queen Creek (Ariz.) Casteel on Friday, sending Orange Lutheran into Saturday's championship game.

"This belt will be special if I win it, God willing. It's the belt that Laila Ali, Holly Holm and Amanda Serrano have held. They are legends of the sport."

When I was younger I was frustrated, I was getting angry, especially when I was at Williams and finishing second to last every weekend. I was pissed off. I worked my whole life to get to F1 and now I'm at the back, and doing nothing. So I had to work on that, how do I deal with that and I came to the realisation that I just need to focus on my job.

Mike LeDuc is one of those old-school coaches who likes to push his players forward and fade into the background when team success comes.

The Thunder stated, 'We have been in touch with the White House and we are appreciative and grateful for the communication we have had, but the timing just didn't work out.'

What a beautiful moment. What a surreal moment. We had a target on our backs all year. This championship means the world to us. It means the world to our fans. I'm so proud of every one of our players.

Regis Le Bris's Black Cats impressed during the first half of the season, but have only recorded two wins from nine league games so far in 2026. They enter Saturday's skirmish at Bournemouth on a three-game losing run in the league and sit 12th in the table. Sunderland's injuries have suddenly mounted since Sunday's defeat by Fulham, with fresh problems for Romaine Mundle, Jocelin Ta Bi, Nordi Mukiele and Brian Brobbey.

Watford appointing a new head coach is not really new news. Watford having a third head coach in the same season is not really new news either, but Watford appointing Ed Still is definitely news. Having watched his brother Will succeed on the continent but then fail with Southampton in the Championship this season, it has not deterred the older sibling from stepping into the chaotic world of Vicarage Road.
