(Photo by Malcolm Couzens/Getty Images) Getty Images It took less than five minutes for Leicester City to cut through the Liverpool defence at Anfield on Friday night. They shocked the home crowd by opening the scoring in a game Jürgen Klopp’s side needed to win if they were to get back in the race for the Champions League qualification places. Leicester’s English midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall picked up the ball after Liverpool failed to deal with a long goal kick from the opposite end of the field.

Police statement Police are appealing for witnesses following an unprovoked attack in West Bridgford. The victim, in his 30s, was travelling home on a bus following a night out with friends when he heard a younger passenger’s phone drop on the floor.

Following the incident, a 50-year-old woman was arrested this morning (31 December) on suspicion of assisting an offender. Inquiries to trace the attacker are ongoing. Detective Sergeant Charlotte Henson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a serious and unprovoked assault on an entirely innocent man who was simply making his way home having enjoyed a night out with friends. “Thankfully, his injuries are not life-threatening or life-altering, but he has been left

The number of passengers detained for further checks at the UK’s busiest airport plummeted in the run-up to Christmas after the armed services were asked to cover for striking Border Force staff, leaked figures show. Just nine people were stopped at passport control and held at Heathrow over three strike days from 23 to 25 December, compared with 189 people over the same three days in 2021 – a 95% drop.

Nearly all of the 27 stopped this year were asylum seekers, sources said. The figures have been leaked to the Guardian amid a growing row over the role of members of the armed services policing UK borders as members of the PCS union strike over pay and con
