A 14-minute treble took his tally for Manchester City to 31 in all competitions, and with nine days of January remaining. They have only scored 12 league goals all season, and Haaland mustered a quarter of that total in a quarter of an hour to defeat them. It is already the case that only Alan Shearer has scored more trebles in a Premier League campaign than Haaland. It was the fifth league goal the Belgian has set up for the Norwegian this season; unsurprisingly, no duo have proved more potent.

This is actually easy when a new baby is expected because you get nine months warning,” says FitzD. “Agree a time to sit down and talk, and block out a couple of hours – this is too important to rush. If there are open conversations about what stresses can be shared, however small, that can also help.”

How smugglers are flouting Delhi’s strictest-ever Diwali fireworks ban

This Diwali the authorities in the Indian capital are enforcing the city’s toughest fireworks ban yet, after years in which efforts to discourage their use around the major Hindu festival have failed to make a dent. Delhi’s air quality has actually not yet hit the dire levels residents have come to expect by late October. The BJP has accused the Delhi government – run by the AAP party – of refusing to allow a “complete celebration” of Diwali by trying to enforce the fireworks ban more strictly. Some accuse the Mughal rulers of curbing Hindu festival celebrations during this era, though this is debated by historians. In the last week, transportation alone contributed 20-30 per cent of Delhi’s air pollution, says senior weather forecaster Dr Soni.

Aston Villa vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

(Getty Images)Danny Ings scored twice in the opening 14 minutes as Aston Villa bounced back from the sacking of manager Steven Gerrard with a dominant 4-0 Premier League win over Brentford at a jubilant Villa Park on Sunday. Villa, who fired Gerrard after Thursday’s 3-0 loss to Fulham left them 17th in the table, took the lead just over a minute into the game when Leon Bailey hammered home a first-time shot from a well-worked corner. Bailey turned provider a few minutes later, sliding the ball into the path of the unmarked Ings for him to rifle it into the net, much to the delight of caretaker boss Aaron Danks. Things went form bad to worse for the visitors when Norwegian defender Kristoffer Ajer pulled on the shirt of Tyrone Mings to concede a penalty in the 12th minute, and Ings slammed the spot kick straight down the middle to make it 3-0. Villa’s third win in 12 league games lifts them to 14th spot in the table on 12 points, while Brentford, who held Chelsea to a scoreless draw in midweek, are 10th on 14 points.
