Haaland magic lifts Manchester City to win over Chelsea after Khusanov error
After scoring on 68 minutes, Erling Haaland’s expression was pure box office – and who could blame him? Manchester City had hit the front, Chelsea were cowed, and relief mainlined through Pep Guardiola.

Bigger challenges than a debut with nothing to lose await Sam Konstas in Sri Lanka | Geoff Lemon
The teenage prodigy who scooped his way into national consciousness on Boxing Day has a lot to prove on Australia’s upcoming tour and beyond
If you’re Sam Konstas, you’re used to things moving quickly. It took 718 first-class runs to get into the Australian team. It took 113 Test runs to potentially change the way it is set up.

Usman Khawaja would partner him with graft, the veteran regular opener bridging the gap after David Warner’s retirement.
A few weeks before Australia’s imminent series in Sri Lanka, though, that plan was turned upside down. Konstas is also an opener. Konstas is also in the squad. On the momentum of the moment, Konstas is going to play.
