The plan was to win, no matter how difficult every game is, especially in the Championship. “So many times today we were one against one in promising situations facing the opponent and then it’s all about quality. Taylor added: “We had the best chance to win the game with Tariqe. “He’s a good quality player, so he has to fit in here.

Rangers rescue late point but pressure builds on Giovanni van Bronckhorst

Rangers needed a late John Lundstram leveller to rescue a cinch Premiership point against 10-man Livingston at Ibrox and again felt the wrath of their disgruntled fans. Giovanni van Bronckhorst wanted his side to turn on the style after boos were heard after the 1-0 home Premier Sports Cup win over Dundee on Wednesday night but it was another dispiriting slog which lacked tempo and fluidity. The goal changed the mood inside Ibrox and the Rangers players looked gripped by anxiety. In the 66th minute, Morelos replaced Arfield to link up with Colak, which brought a surge of hope. In added time George saved a powerful header from Colak with Lundstram heading over in the last action of the game.

Newcastle move up to third with point at Palace

Newcastle moved up to third in the table after a goalless draw at Crystal Palace extended their unbeaten run to 15 Premier League matches. The result drew Newcastle level on 39 points with Manchester United, who face league leaders Arsenal on Sunday. The hosts survived another Newcastle set piece when Eberechi Eze was punished for bringing down Almiron on the right and the ball bounced off Schar before Guaita claimed it out of the air. Palace could have taken the lead before half-time through Eze’s corner, which found Chris Richards in a good position in front of goal but the American – making his second start for Palace – could only nod over the crossbar. It was the second time the teams have drawn a blank, with a Carabao Cup clash going to penalties following a goalless stalemate.

Boris Johnson loyalists call for his return as Truss tenure at No 10 comes to abrupt end

Ms Truss’s announcement came a little over 24 hours after insisting she was “a fighter, not a quitter”. She recognised she “cannot deliver the mandate” as a low-tax, pro-growth premier which Tory members gave her in September when she replaced Mr Johnson. “I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.”Tory leadership hopefuls know they will face a daunting task to revive the party’s fortunes. Members will be able to take part in an online vote to choose their next leader and the country’s prime minister. And the ugly scenes in the Commons as Tory MPs were threatened with having the whip suspended if they rebelled over fracking were the final straw for many Conservatives.

Anthony Yarde fails in world title bid after losing thriller to Artur Beterbiev

Anthony Yarde failed in his against-the-odds bid to become a unified world champion after he was stopped in the eighth round by Artur Beterbiev in a thrilling contest at Wembley Arena. Londoner Yarde hoped home advantage and an electric atmosphere would propel him to the WBO, WBC and IBF world light-heavyweight titles. But Fury’s title-winning stardust did not rub off on his compatriot Yarde, as the Beast from the East’s second world championship challenge ended in the same fashion as his first – in defeat. The British boxer travelled to Kovalev’s home city of Chelyabinsk, and gave an impressive performance, being close to victory in the eighth round before he was eventually knocked out in the 11th. An equally-impressive second followed as Yarde stunned Beterbiev, dressed all in black, with a strong uppercut.

Russell Martin felt Callum Robinson made ‘easy mistake’ with red card in derby

Russell Martin felt Cardiff forward Callum Robinson was guilty of making an “easy mistake” for the seventh-minute red card that allowed Swansea to continue their South Wales derby dominance.

Swansea boss Martin said: “We were helped with the early red card. It’s a really easy mistake to make when the atmosphere is like this in such a big game. Interim boss Mark Hudson said he had no complaints over Robinson’s red card, saying: “It’s about having controlled aggression in moments during a game.

Norwich head coach Dean Smith hit out at the standard of Championship refereeing after being forced to settle for a goalless draw in their clash with QPR at Carrow Road. Unfortunately it is the standard of officiating we have come to expect at this level. “We have had a lot of really good chances and unfortunately it was just one of those games when they weren’t taken. “That was more like us away from home – hard to beat and also a threat in front of goal. “Norwich are a good side and I am delighted we are still two points ahead of them after this game.
