Gary Neville hailed David Raya as an ‘absolutely incredible’ signing for Arsenal after he helped the Gunners dispatch of north London rivals Tottenham.

Raya made a rare mistake in Arsenal’s deflating 2-2 draw with Wolves last week, colliding with Gabriel and allowing the basement boys to score an injury-time equaliser.

Neville questioned how Raya would respond to his uncharacteristic blunder in Arsenal’s huge north London derby on Sunday but was impressed by his reaction.

Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze stole the headlines after both scoring twice in an emphatic 4-1 win, but Neville was keen to praise Raya for his ‘dominant’ performance in between the posts.

Raya looked back to his best as Arsenal breezed past Spurs and Neville said he has been an ‘absolutely incredible’ signing for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Eyebrows were raised when Arsenal signed Spanish shot-stopper Raya from Brentford in 2023 as Arteta already had England international Aaron Ramsdale at the Emirates Stadium.

But £27m signing Raya quickly displaced Ramsdale as Arsenal’s No. 1 and has been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League ever since.

Asked how Arsenal coped with the growing title pressure against Tottenham, Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast: ‘Really well in the end.

‘At half-time they may have looked back and thought, “how are we in this position?” because they were so dominant in the game.

‘They caused their own problems once or twice and I was wondering if these mistakes were becoming contagious and would cost a team who were dominant in most matches.

‘In the end it was really important what happened today. It’s too early to feel the real title pressure, we’re not quite in the home straight, but this is going to get really hot when we get into April. Games really do count now and Arsenal have been in a difficult run.

‘I was thinking about it before the game and I singled out David Raya because I think he’s been absolutely incredible, what a goalkeeper he’s been this season and since he joined Arsenal.

‘But he had all of Thursday and Friday to think long and hard about that Wolves game and listen to the noise. How is he going to respond? Is he going to be a bit more tentative and wobbly and shaky?

Tiger Woods hosted the PGA Tour’s second Signature Event of the season at Riviera Country Club in California, with one of the biggest prize purses of the year on offer

Rory McIlroy is only interested in winning golf tournaments – but a cheque for over £1.3million for finishing in a tie for second sure softens the blow when you come up short.

Breakthrough American star Jacob Bridgeman was a cut above at Riviera Country Club this week, taking a six stroke lead into the final round and seeing that out on Sunday evening to win by a single shot.

Tiger Woods hosted the PGA Tour’s second Signature Event of the season at Riviera Country Club in California, and there was one of the biggest prize purses of the year on offer.

Although the Genesis Invitational is a Signature Event with a limited field compared to a regular PGA Tour tournament, the 36-hole cut in operation ensured not every player earned a paycheck on Sunday night. However, just making the cut banked players over $50,000.

McIlroy finished one shot behind the winner in a tie for second with Kurt Kitayama, who had shot a seven-under par final round 64.

Meanwhile, the world number two had a final round 67, which included five birdies and one bogey. He took home a cheque for over £1,330,000 for his efforts, while the winner pocketed £2,950,000.

A final round 67 – his lowest score of the tournament – saw Shane Lowry finish in a four-way tie for 24th place, for which he earned just under £132,000.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An uproar continued Sunday after the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said Israel has a right to much of the Middle East, as more Arab and Muslim countries objected and the U.S. said his comments were taken out of context.

Huckabee spoke in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired Friday. Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include much of the Middle East, including parts of modern-day Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. He quoted from Genesis Chapter 15 and asked Huckabee if Israel had a right to that land.

Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.”

A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy said Sunday that Huckabee’s comments were taken out of context and that there is no change to U.S. policies on Israel.

In the interview, Huckabee added: “They’re not asking to go back and take all of that, but they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in, they now own legitimately, and it is a safe haven for them.” He added that Israel isn’t trying to take over Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, or Iraq but is trying to protect its own people.

Carlson has been critical of U.S. support for Israel in the war in Gaza and has come under fire for his own far-right views, including the white-supremacist theory that says whites are being “replaced” by people of color.

Trump warned on Friday that limited strikes against Iran are possible, even as the country’s top diplomat said Tehran expects to have a proposed deal ready in the next few days following nuclear talks with the United States.

The movements of additional U.S. warships and airplanes to the region, with the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier near the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, don’t guarantee a U.S. strike on Iran, but they bolster Trump’s ability to carry out one if he chooses.

Netanyahu warned last week that if Iran attacks Israel, they will risk a “response that they cannot even imagine.”

Israel attacked Iran last year during indirect U.S.-Iran talks, sparking a 12-day war. The United States inserted itself in the war by bombing Iranian nuclear sites.

Dr Oscar Duke appeared on BBC Morning Live on Wednesday to warn viewers about the dangers of taking too much vitamin D

A doctor has issued a warning about Vitamin D overdose, urging Britons to adhere to the recommended dosage. Dr Oscar Duke featured on BBC Morning Live on Wednesday to outline the health dangers of excessive intake.

According to the NHS, Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate in the body, which are crucial for maintaining healthy bones, teeth and muscles. The health body also states it performs an important function in bolstering the immune system.

However, due to Britain’s climate, many individuals struggle to obtain sufficient vitamin D naturally through sunlight exposure. Supplements are consequently advised to bridge this gap.

“In these winter and autumn months, it’s really important to supplement our vitamin D because we don’t get enough from sunlight in the UK,” Dr Oscar explained. Nevertheless, excessive consumption can result in serious health complications.

He added: “The NHS and government recommendation is that we take 400 international units of vitamin D a day during those autumn and winter months.”

Adults and children aged over one are recommended to take a daily 10 microgram supplement – equivalent to 400 IU – from October through to early March.

Passing the advised dose is fairly straightforward, as over-the-counter supplements frequently contain 800 to 1,000 IU. Dr Oscar cautioned: “If you’re getting over 4,000 international units, then you’re at potential risk of vitamin D overdose.”

The NHS cautions that excessive vitamin D consumption over extended periods can lead to a build-up of calcium in the body, a condition called hypercalcaemia.

“If you get too much calcium in your body, then that can affect your heart,” said Dr Duke. “You can get calcium stones in your kidneys, and it can really upset your tummy.”

Whilst toxicity is regarded as uncommon, the Food Standards Agency recommends that 4,000 IU (100 micrograms) daily represents the safe upper threshold for adults. Vitamin D deficiency continues to be widespread across the UK, with government figures from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey indicating that approximately one in six adults experience low levels throughout winter.

Dr Oscar Duke emphasised that adhering to the recommended dosage is essential for safely reaping the benefits of vitamin D. Surpassing the safe threshold can result in severe health complications. Always examine supplement labels and seek medical advice if uncertain about your intake.

After their Irish Cup humiliation against Limavady, Linfield have since played four and won four, scoring 14 goals and conceding one.

Linfield manager David Healy knows his squad have what it takes to go to war for the Irish Premiership title.

After beating arch rivals Glentoran at Windsor Park on Saturday night, the Blues boss insisted his men have the belief now to push on for glory.

Healy knows most of his side have been there and done that. Indeed, the former Northern Ireland striker says that winning mentality has to be there from day one for all Linfield players.

“You have to have a champion mentality to sign for Linfield, be at Linfield for the length of time that some of these players have been and try and maintain success because the demands have been set for 140 years,” said Healy.

After their Irish Cup humiliation against Limavady, Linfield have since played four and won four, scoring 14 goals and conceding one. The Blues are now five points behind league leaders Larne who have only picked up one point from a possible nine of late.

“I said in the press about it being unlikely but not impossible, and it’s not,” Healy insisted. “We were written off a number of weeks ago and probably rightly so. With the level of performance we put in away to Limavady in the cup. Our league form has been good from the turn of the year.

“The table looks a little bit better, the players have more belief now. We’ve got to buy into the end of the season drive, where we’ve been before. We’ve been in the trenches, we understand what it takes.

“That’s why it’s important for me at times, amongst the chaos, amongst the noise, amongst the criticism, to try and remain as calm as I need to be. Because if not, then it gets out of hand and into players’ performance levels.

“I’m pleased for the players, they took a bit of a battering, they’ve responded well. We now have basically 10 cup finals coming up – nine league games and the cup final against Cliftonville.”

Matt Fitzpatrick was the matchwinner at Windsor on Saturday night. His poacher’s finish for his 17th goal of the season sealed a huge three points and it was nothing less than he deserved, said the manager.

“Fitzy’s popped up. His performance tonight was phenomenal, leading the line the way he does. He deserves that goal.

“I don’t think it was a great game but we found a way,” said Healy. “I thought second half, we were better.”

There were also two tots named Kendrick and one Lamar after the US rap icon appeared in Glasgow in July.

Diehard Oasis fans have been naming their babies after frontman Noel in honour of the reunion gigs at Murrayfield. The highest number of babies named Noel for five years has been registered in Scotland following the three gigs last year.

Figures show four tots were given the moniker last year after 210,000 fans saw the Britpop legends in Edinburgh. It saw Noel on the verge of tears as he sang Talk Tonight during one of the shows.

The Wonderwall star’s name derives from the Latin word natalis meaning birthday. The Oasis gigs in the capital were part of their huge reunion tour which saw 41 shows across 14 countries.

There were also two tots named Kendrick and one Lamar after the US rap icon appeared in Glasgow in July. The Grammy winner played to 50,000 at Hampden Park.

The Wuthering Heights film starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi was filmed across the Yorkshire Dales, with historic ruins transformed into a stunning movie set

All eyes are on Yorkshire as Wuthering Heights, which was shot across the Dales, arrives in cinemas, with fans adding the area to their 2026 travel itineraries.

Hollywood actors Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi used the Yorkshire Dales as their location throughout the entire production, and many treasures of the Yorkshire landscape feature in the film.

While Emily Brontë’s novel was set primarily within the Yorkshire Moors, near to where the author lived, this adaptation opted to base its filming within the Yorkshire Dales.

However, it was particularly one Dale that proved to be the genuine star of the production, appearing repeatedly throughout the picture.

Swaledale appears to have several connections to the filming location for the 2026 film, and one heritage site which is accessible to visitors was converted into a film set for several scenes.

Sykes Cottages

Famous for its dramatic landscapes, historic cities, hearty food, and rich cultural heritage Yorkshire is just waiting to be explored. Sykes Cottages has a large number of properties to choose from with prices from £31 per night.

Old Gang Lead Mines

High on the moors, positioned between Swaledale and Arkengarthdale, are the striking ruins of an 18th-century lead production facility.

It stands as one of the largest and most well-preserved lead-mining locations in the region, boasting a tall chimney and the remnants of a once-bustling mill.

The remains lie peacefully within open moorland and can only be reached on foot; it is typically a circular walk that takes you from nearby Gunnerside or Muker and across the moors.

As a heritage site, it is completely free to explore and accessible to the public, though, for the purposes of the film, several elements were incorporated into it.

Right at the start of Wuthering Heights, as a horse-drawn carriage travels across verdant countryside, it passes the Old Gang Smelt Mill in a stunning shot.

The location appears again in additional scenes, with lead actors Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi wandering across the fog-covered moorland.

Sarah Whiteley, Senior Historic Environment Officer at Yorkshire Dales National Park, was tasked with ensuring the site received proper protection throughout filming.

Her role involved monitoring how the cast and crew worked with this historic location, and she offered some insight into the process when speaking to Conde Nast Traveller.

Whiteley revealed ahead of the cast’s arrival, the site was shut to other visitors to allow time for preparation with additions including painted props and extra vegetation.

She said: “The locations team wanted to put an installation of a sort of cliff-face-type prop, so we decided which was the least damaging place to put that,” and clearly, it was the Old Gang Lead Mines.

Swaledale

Film fans are eager to bring the Wuthering Heights world they witnessed on screen into their everyday lives, and a visit to Swaledale offers the ideal opportunity for immersion.

From the opening frames of the production to several of its most powerful moments, the region was instrumental in transforming the beloved tale into reality.

In fact, just a short distance from the Old Gang site near Swaledale, nestled in the moorland above Langthwaite village, lies a winding road called Bouldershaw Lane.

From that lane, you can view the expansive field, which is in private ownership, where Margot Robbie’s dramatic scene takes place – walking through in her enormous wedding gown whilst carrying a bouquet.

The Melbeck Moors in Swaledale also served as a stunning backdrop, forming part of the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park.

It’s an exceptionally remote spot located in the upper reaches of the dale and consists mostly of completely isolated moorland, which proved challenging to access for the cast and crew.

This moorland area is scattered with other abandoned structures and quiet meandering roads, which are also believed to have been utilised for filming.

The natural conditions of these locations certainly played their part at times, with the actors having recalled memories on set of enduring freezing temperatures and lengthy walks.
