Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth as Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions with a game to spare.

Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth as Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions with a game to spare. Pep Guardiola’s side knew that nothing but a win would do on the south coast but they fell behind to a goal from Junior Kroupi towards the end of the first half.

Nico O’Reilly nearly levelled soon after the restart and Guardiola piled on the attackers to try to get City back into the game. At the other end, Gianluigi Donnarumma did well to keep the Blues in the game as Bournemouth countered and posed a threat.

City scored a 94th-minute equaliser through Erling Haaland but were unable to get a late winner in what could be Guardiola’s final away game in English football. They will finish in second place in the league and conclude their season at home to Aston Villa.

Here are the player ratings from the Manchester Evening News.

Donnarumma: Made a number of good saves in the second half to keep City in the game, although a mixed performance from set-pieces. 7

Nunes: Couldn’t stop the cross for the Bournemouth goal 6

Khusanov: Didn’t get out to Kroupi for the goal and has taken on Walker’s old role of shooting from sight without going close, but otherwise fine. 6

Guehi: Had plenty of physical battles with Evanilson and did well to come out on top in most of them. 6

O’Reilly: Full of energy all night but struggled to find the usual relationship with Doku as he was used more centrally often. 6

Silva: Dropped well into the backline to help City get out against an energetic Bournemouth, sacrificed in the comeback effort. 7

Rodri: Still not at his best but doesn’t need to be to be one of the better City players on the pitch. 7

Kovacic: Provided some much-needed calm early on, lost his way after that, and then recovered to push City onto the front foot. 6

Semenyo: His touch and decision-making in the final third was poor in the first half, although he did better just after the break. 5

Doku: Found himself with at least two markers most of the time but still found a way to be dangerous. 6

Haaland: Unlucky to be flagged offside when it looked very tight and nearly slipped O’Reilly in but couldn’t find a chance himself. 6

Substitutes

Cherki (for Silva, 56) Some nice runs as he came closer than most to engineering a goal back. 6

Foden (for Kovacic, 56) Took his time to settle and didn’t keep the ball well enough. 5

Savinho (for Semenyo, 56) Outmuscled when he pushed forward and lost the ball attempting flicks. Not the man for the circumstances. 4

Marmoush (for Doku, 76) Tried his best to get into the game but Bournemouth blocked everything in the box. 6

Not used: Trafford, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, Reijnders

The supermarket has introduced more than 400 new food and drink items and cut prices across hundreds of everyday essentials in one of its biggest updates in recent years.

The changes cover frozen food, bakery, fresh produce, meat, and food-to-go categories.

The move is aimed at improving value, expanding customer choice, and enhancing the in-store experience.

Rachel Eyre, chief customer officer at Asda, told Grocery Gazette: “We know many customers are making careful choices when they shop and our job is to do even more to support them.

“These changes offer greater value and choice in areas they shop the most and improve the in-store shopping experience.

“They’re about rewarding customers for their loyalty, as well as encouraging those who haven’t been to Asda for a while to take a fresh look.”

The fresh produce and frozen food sections have been upgraded, with greengrocer staff returning to fruit and veg aisles to support shoppers and maintain quality.

Asda has also refreshed its fruit and veg displays to include clearer information about product quality and origin.

What products will Asda be introducing and making cheaper?

More than 230 new frozen items are now available, including options from popular brands such as Crosta Mollica.

The supermarket has lowered prices on multiple household staples including beef mince, pork sausages, eggs, baby potatoes, and baked beans.

Asda garden peas are now 41p, down from 55p, baked beans are 39p instead of 42p, and pork sausages have been reduced from £1.79 to £1.58.

To improve price transparency, £1 and £2 labels have been introduced in-store and online to highlight budget-friendly options.

The Asda Rewards programme has also been updated with new offers and missions across fresh, frozen, and general merchandise categories.

Asda is also offering a free piece of fruit to children in its 426 superstores.

A total of 13 restaurants, cafes, pubs and people from across the country came away with a ‘Best in Ulster’ win – with two going on to be crowned ‘Best in Ireland’ for 2026.

Popular Belfast coffee shop General Merchant was recognised as not only the best in the province but top across the entire island of Ireland. Frae, a neighbourhood wine bar in Holywood, also took an All-Ireland win for Best Customer Service.

Here are the NI spots named Ulster winners of the Irish Restaurant Awards 2026:

From local cafés and family run restaurants to world class dining destinations, these Awards recognise the passion, dedication and innovation that can be found in every corner of Ireland.”

“Gordon Ramsay recently described Ireland as the sleeping giant of European cuisine. Well, that giant is awakening and tonight is proof of that. Across every county we are seeing incredible creativity, quality and ambition in our restaurants and hospitality businesses.”

“The standard showcased tonight demonstrates that Ireland should now be firmly recognised as a leading culinary destination. I want to congratulate every nominee and winner for the extraordinary work they do every day to showcase the very best of Irish hospitality.”

Lee Andrews has been ‘missing’ for several days after he failed to show up in the UK to meet his wife Katie Price

Former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman said she flew to Dubai this week on a “mission” to track down Katie Price’s apparently ‘missing’ husband.

The star fled the country earlier this year as tensions in the Middle East grew at the outbreak of the Iran war. However, she told fans she would head back and search for Lee Andrews.

The Dubai businessman, who tied the knot with Katie within days of meeting her, has been missing for six days. The 47-year-old former glamour model says on the last call she had with him, his hands were tied together and a hood had been placed over his face. Katie said she feared he had been kidnapped near the border between Dubai and Oman, reports The Mirror.

However, the star hit out at claims the whole thing is a publicity stunt today, slamming them as “disgusting”.

Luisa, 38, has shared a series of videos that suggest her search isn’t entirely serious, including looking for him in the Emirates Lounge at Heathrow Airport. However, she did share an interesting update.

In a video posted from Dubai, she said: “It’s the end of day one looking for Lee Andrews missing persons case. I’m trying to bring Katie Price’s husband home. So, I’ve discovered a few things.

“He was seen as active on Facebook Messenger six hours ago which does indicate that his kidnappers are definitely letting him have access to social media. Makes you wonder why he hasn’t reached out to ask for help.”

The influencer continued: “Who knows, but I did see that while I did some digging on Facebook. It’s looking unlikely I’m going to be able to bring him home. Where are you Lee? Everyone wants to know. A nation wants to know.”

She earlier posted a video of herself in the cabin of a first class flight, telling followers: “Wish me luck.” She wrote: “I’m ready to undertake this mission for the nation and our love of our national treasure Katie Price, we love you.”

Speaking today Katie offered an update to fans, saying: “Hey everyone, I’m here to do an update about Lee. This is a really difficult time for me at the moment. It’s been five days since I’ve heard anything from Lee. None of his family have heard anything, his dad is out in Dubai and he’s heard nothing.”

She said Lee had been reported as missing to the British Embassy saying the Foreign Office have confirmed they are “supporting the family of a British man” – and that her “anxiety levels are sky high”.

Katie then appealed for help, saying: “If there’s anyone in Dubai or you know anyone in Dubai and you spot him or see him… I don’t know because I don’t know where he is. Because the last thing I know, his hands were tied and he had a hood over his head and he was in the back of a van.”

She added: “All I can do is look after myself and my head and get on with each day as I can. Because I still have to get on with life. I want to thank everyone for their kind messages. I’m a tough girl. I’m a survivor but I’ve never been in a situation like this.”

Chris, 49, was last seen on Tuesday afternoon

Police are becoming ‘increasingly concerned’ about a man who was reported missing in Prestwich. Chris, whose surname was not disclosed by police, was last seen at Prestwich Hospital at around 3pm on Tuesday (May 19).

A search for the 49-year-old has been launched. A photo of Chris was shared by police as part of a public appeal, and anyone with information is urged to report it.

He is described as a white male, of medium build and with brown, thinning hair. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, cap and coloured yellow and black trainers.
