But there was huge concern for Kutucu and Dogan after they suffered a clash of heads during an aerial challenge midway through the match.
Television cameras quickly panned away from the scenes after the worrying situation became clear.
Both players were floored after the head clash, with Istanbulspor keeper Dogan covering his face.

But Galatasaray star Kutucu was left unconscious on the pitch, with his team-mates racing towards him to put him in the recovery position and stop him from swallowing his tongue.
Some players had their head in their hands as they urgently beckoned medics over.
The medical teams rushed onto the field of play to treat both players and Kutucu eventually regained consciousness.
An ambulance also appeared on the pitch to take both players off the pitch.

Dogan was subbed off for Mucahit Serbest, while Kutucu was replaced by Ismail Jakobs.
Galatasaray boss Buruk sent his support to both players after the “unfortunate” incident.
He said: “It was an unfortunate collision. I wish them both a speedy recovery.

“Ahmed is fine. Isa appeared to have a fracture. I wish him a speedy recovery as well. We are thankful there were no serious injuries.”
Meanwhile, Istanbulspor released a statement about Dogan’s condition.
They uploaded a picture of Dogan on Instagram and said: “We wish a speedy recovery to our goalkeeper Isa Dogan who had to leave the game after the collision that happened with Galatasaray.”
Kutucu shared the post but did not comment further on his own scare.

The forward has been with Galatasaray for the last year after joining from Turkish side Eyupspor.
The Turkey international started his career with German side Schalke before joining Istanbul Basaksehir in 2021.
Moore’s team-mates created just seven chances between them at Hibs on Sunday.
He registered five alone on Wednesday, while his seven dribbles were also higher than any other player.
Game state has to come into that, of course. At the weekend, Rangers were playing against 11 men, away to a top-six side. Struggling Kilmarnock were a man and a goal down after a few minutes on Wednesday.
A goal-scoring performance from the England youth international in the Old Firm derby win at Celtic last month looked set to ignite his Ibrox career, but seven games without a goal contribution followed.

Despite that, the Ibrox side just appear a livelier and more unpredictable proposition with Moore in the line-up.
A mid-season injury and squad rotation has meant Moore has failed to feature in 12 of Rangers’ 25 league matches, but Rohl is now demanding consistency as his side attempt to reel Hearts in.
“We know Mikey, that should be the level for him again and again,” the Rangers head coach told BBC Scotland.
“This is the next step for him, consistency. But I will not speak about individual performances, it’s about the team.”
“Cervical screening can be difficult for some women for many reasons, like if they have had a bad previous experience, they are menopausal, they have a physical or learning disability, cultural barriers, or are a survivor of sexual violence,” says Athena Lamnisos from charity The Eve Appeal.
A man in his 70s has been arrested in connection to the fire.
A man has been arrested after a fire at a barn in Lakenheath. Suffolk Police were called to Back Street by Suffolk Fire & Rescue at around 11:30pm on Thursday, January 29, with reports that a barn that was completely engulfed in flames.

Emergency services attended and a man in his 20s was found inside of the barn. He was taken to hospital for treatment to severe burns, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
A man in his 70s has been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and on suspicion of the cultivation of cannabis. He was taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
He has been released on police bail. Officers are appealing to anyone with information or who had recent use of the building to come forward.

The WASPI campaign is consulting lawyers about a fresh judicial review after the Government refused compensation to 1950s-born women affected by state pension age changes
The WASPI campaign (Women Against State Pension Inequality) has stepped up its calls for DWP compensation, despite the Government recently stating there would be no financial redress. Labour ministers addressed the Commons last week on January 29 to confirm that no compensation would be offered to the 1950s-born women represented by WASPI and similar campaign groups.

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden told Parliament: “The evidence shows that the vast majority of 1950s-born women already knew the state pension age was increasing thanks to a wide range of public information, including through leaflets, education campaigns, information in GP surgeries, on TV, radio, cinema and online. To specifically compensate only those women who suffered injustice would require a scheme that could reliably verify the individual circumstances of millions of women.”
WASPI condemned the decision as a “disgraceful political choice” that showed “utter contempt” for the affected women. The campaign represents the generation of women who were impacted when the state pension age for women increased from 60 to 65 and later to 66.
They argue that the DWP failed to properly inform them of the changes, with many remaining oblivious until the last moment, upending their retirement plans when they discovered the news. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman had previously investigated the matter, finding there was ‘maladministration’ by the DWP, as they should have sent notification letters to the women far sooner.
The Ombudsman also recommended financial compensation for the affected women, ranging from £1,000 to £2,950. In December 2024, Labour announced they would not provide compensation, reports the Mirror.

The Government subsequently reversed this position, stating they would reassess the matter due to new evidence they needed to examine. However, in their most recent decision, the Government said once more there would be no financial settlements.
The WASPI campaign is now urging its members to contact their local MPs, pressing them to demand a Parliamentary vote on the issue. In the Ombudsman’s report, the watchdog called for Parliament to address the matter.
Numerous MPs individually support the WASPI cause, as well as some political parties including the Liberal Democrats and Green Party. WASPI had sought a judicial review of the earlier ruling, though this was resolved out of court after the Government pledged to revisit their decision.
Angela Madden, chair of the WASPI campaign, said the organisation is consulting with lawyers regarding a potential fresh judicial review application. She said: “We would welcome it, if the lawyers think there is a different way to go, we would welcome that as well.”

She said they expect to receive guidance from their legal team shortly. If you want to file a judicial review of such a decision, it must be submitted within three months.
Ms Madden said: “The only people who can get this for us are Parliament. So we have to impress on Parliament that they simply must do it. The way the DWP has behaved is undemocratic. They are defending themselves, and the Ombudsman is so that we are protected from departments defending themselves.”
She said the campaigners feel “insulted”, particularly as the Government’s decision relied on a 2014 survey suggesting the women would not remember getting a letter or would not read it if they had received it, and so sending out letters sooner would have made little difference.
“The criminals use this data to develop AI-generated voice clones used to simulate consent for direct debits, deceiving even legitimate businesses and financial providers,” the watchdog explains.
“These details appear then to be passed or sold to other criminal operations who, with the details, can easily circumvent the banks and set up payments without the victim’s knowledge.
“Victims often do not realise payments are being taken.”
Scamming is rife: Brits receive seven scam calls or texts on average every month.

And NTS has blocked nearly 21 million scam calls in six months.
As part of that work, the watchdog has shut down more than 2,000 phone numbers.

“What we’re seeing is a deeply disturbing combination of old and new: traditional phone scams supported by disturbing new techniques,” said Louse Baxter MBE, who heads up the NTS’ scams team.
“Criminals are using AI not just to deceive victims, but to trick legitimate systems into processing fraudulent payments.

“This is no longer just a nuisance – it’s a coordinated, sophisticated operation targeting some of the most situationally vulnerable consumers in society.
“We urge everyone to speak to friends and relatives about scam calls, check bank statements regularly and report anything suspicious.”
NTS says that Brits are being cold-called and then coerced into providing details to the criminals.
This allowed crooks to take “continuous payments” from the accounts of victims.

And because this happens in the background, it’s possible for victims to not even realise their accounts are quietly being emptied.
STAY SAFE FROM SCAMS – WHICH? ADVICE
Here’s the official Which? response to this scam alert…
“It’s horrifying that criminals are using AI to clone voices in order to set up fraudulent direct debits,” said Lisa Webb, Which? consumer law expert.

“You shouldn’t have to worry about your own voice being used against you in this way but sadly we’ve reached a stage where every phone call must be treated with suspicion.
“If you get any calls out of the blue, don’t be afraid to hang up – genuine callers won’t mind.
“If you see any direct debits or transactions on your bank account that you don’t recognise, contact your bank immediately using the number on the back of your card.
“You should also report any scams to Police Scotland or Report Fraud to investigate.

“It’s also worth making sure you’re registered with the telephone preference service to opt out of unsolicited marketing calls, that way you’ll know that any unexpected marketing or sales calls are either a rogue company or a scammer.”
“This alarming new twist in phone-based fraud shows just how quickly criminals are exploiting emerging technologies to prey on the public,” said John Herriman, the Chartered Trading Standards Institute chief.
“Voice cloning takes scam calls to a sinister new level, making it even harder for legitimate businesses and consumers to distinguish real interactions from fraudulent ones.

“Trading Standards teams across the UK are working tirelessly to disrupt these operations, but we need the public to stay alert, talk to loved ones about the risks, and report anything suspicious.
“Protecting consumers, especially those most vulnerable, requires all of us to stay informed and work together to tackle these modern day and emerging examples of fraud.”
Voice-cloning technology isn’t new – it’s been around for several years.
Tools to clone voices can be accessed cheaply and easily online, making the process relatively straightforward.
We spoke to Louise Baxter from the NTS, who shared advice for Sun readers worried about this kind of con.
“It all starts with one phone call, where you think you’re talking to a real company and they ask for your bank details,” Louise told The Sun.
“So the most important advice is to never give any personal information to anyone who calls you out of the blue and without doing your own checks on who they are, no matter how genuine they sound.

“But the criminals are clever and anyone can be a victim of a scam.
“With the growing use of sophistication and AI in scams, we should all get into the habit of checking our bank statements regularly to make sure we recognise all the payments that are going out.
“We’re also urging people to talk to friends and relatives who may be more vulnerable to scam phone calls, to help them stay safe.”
Louise also recommended visiting their website for advice – http://www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk – as well as instructions for downloading the NTS’ new scam-fighting app.
The incident saw an Audi SQ7 model stolen from Leeds, according to Greater Manchester Police, in the early hours of today, February 4.
The car was driven along the M62 towards Greater Manchester before being spotted by officers who began following it.
The Audi drove onto the M60 and then the East Lancashire Road, where a pursuit ensued. Police cars and the National Police Air Service helicopter followed it.

Officers say it hit “more than 120mph” in some areas, before its two occupants decamped on Milk Street, Tyldesley, and were arrested.
The driver, an 18-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, dangerous driving, failing to stop and no insurance.
The passenger, a 20-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Both remain in custody for questioning.

Sergeant Rebecca McElory from GMP’s Roads Policing Unit said: “This was a fast‑moving incident that began outside our force area, and thanks to the coordinated work between ourselves and colleagues from NPAS, we were able to safely bring it to a conclusion.
“The two suspects in this job showed a complete disregard for the law and for the safety of other road users by travelling at extremely high speeds in a stolen vehicle.
“We are very lucky that we aren’t here talking about a high-speed collision which could have seen innocent members of the public seriously injured.
“I hope these arrests send a clear message to those who think they are above the law that we will not hesitate to take action against these people who strike fear into our communities.”
The president’s name appeared more than 6,000 times in the documents. He was frequently mentioned by Epstein and his associates. The two men, both residents of New York City and West Palm Beach, had by all accounts a friendly relationship for much of the 1990s until, according to Trump, they fell out in the early 2000s.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Roseneath Road in Great Lever, where the incident took place.
A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesperson told The Bolton News: “Shortly before 3.30pm this afternoon (Wednesday, February 4) officers were called to reports of a dog attack on Roseneath Road, Bolton.
“Emergency services attended and a 10-year-old girl was taken to hospital with serious injuries, believed to be life-changing.
“Armed Response Vehicles and GMP Dog Unit were deployed, and two dogs have been detained.

“A 28-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of possessing a dog dangerously out of control, and are currently in custody.
“Officers will remain in the area as they conduct further enquiries and to provide reassurance to the community.”

In footage shared with The Bolton News, Roseneath Road was taped off, with a police car blocking the road.
Three other police vehicles could be seen further down the residential street.

Details of the attack have not yet been released, and it is unclear at this stage whether both detained dogs were involved.
ARSENAL and Manchester City will face off in the League Cup final next month… pitting apprentice Mikel Arteta against master Pep Guardiola.
Arteta, 43, served as Guardiola’s City assistant for three years before becoming Gunners boss in 2019.

Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola have done battle 15 times as managersCredit: ReutersThe pair were previously colleagues at Manchester CityCredit: PA
The pair won several trophies together, including a League Cup at Arsenal‘s expense in 2018.
Guardiola continued to win plenty of trophies following Arteta’s Etihad exit, even pipping his former No2 to the title in 2023 and 2024.
But the gap has narrowed in recent years, with Arsenal finally finishing above City last season, albeit still below Liverpool, and currently leading them by six points in this term’s title race.

Arteta managed to claim a big early win over Guardiola in his managerial career, beating him 2-0 in the 2020 FA Cup semi-finals behind closed doors after deploying a back-three formation.
Arsenal went on to win that season’s FA Cup, Arteta’s first silverware as a boss.
But that semi-final triumph would be his only win over Guardiola in his first nine attempts, with Arsenal losing all eight of the others.
These defeats included a 5-0 hammering at the Etihad in August 2021, as well as a 4-1 Eastlands demolition in April 2023 as Arsenal’s title dream that season was crushed.

Amazingly, that was the last time that Guardiola beat Arteta – with the latter arguably now having the upper hand.

The two bosses have met six times since then, with Arsenal winning three of them and the other three draws.
The run began with the Gunners winning 5-2 in the 2023 Community Shield.

And while many dismiss that match as a glorified friendly, it proved to be a big step for Arteta’s side.
They subsequently beat City 1-0 in the Premier League two months later, before earning a 0-0 draw at the Etihad later that season.
John Stones scored a 98th minute equaliser for 2-2 in their September 2024 meeting, with Arsenal having had to play the entire second half with 10 men following Lenadro Trossard’s second yellow card for kicking the ball away.
Arsenal fans were treated to a match they will never forget in February last year, as their side trounced an out-of-sorts City side 5-1 at the Emirates.

Earlier this season, the two sides drew 1-1 in North London, with Gabriel Martinelli scoring a 93rd minute leveller to cancel out Erling Haaland‘s first-half effort.
This result saw Arteta become the first manager to ever go five consecutive league matches without losing to Guardiola.

The Spaniard felt that his side had “completely dominated” City – with the Sky Blues recording just 32.8 per cent possession – the lowest tally of Guardiola’s top-flight managerial career.
At the time, Arteta said: “It’s easy to say that [we lacked ambition], but we started the game very well and completely dominated.

“City scored a goal and then did nothing. Everybody tries to do best to get a result, that’s fine.
“But we controlled the game and dominated and the second-half was the same.
“I’m extremely proud of my players and team, but very disappointed with the result. The pride I feel is that we dominated the game.”
Having not won a major trophy since that Covid-era FA Cup in August 2020, the Community Shield notwithstanding, Arteta will be hoping that a League Cup success next month could open the floodgates, while further rubber-stamping the end of the Guardiola-era at City.

But time will tell whether the Arteta vs Guardiola rivalry will have time for another major twist, with next month’s showpiece a major test.

The Netflix adaptation of the classic Gothic novel stars a Downton Abbey favourite.

Period drama enthusiasts might be missing out on a Netflix treasure, adapted from one of literature’s most cherished classics.
This gripping thriller film, described as “gripping from beginning to end”, features a beloved Downton Abbey star alongside a favourite from Slow Horses.

Rebecca, which arrived on Netflix in 2020, draws from Daphne Du Maurier’s renowned thriller bearing the same title.
Du Maurier’s 1938 Gothic masterpiece remains a timeless classic, celebrated for its compelling themes and shocking plot twists, continuing to captivate audiences nearly a century after publication.
This bestselling novel has inspired multiple adaptations throughout the decades, including Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 version, which claimed the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Ben Wheatley’s latest interpretation for Netflix brings together performances from Call Me by Your Name’s Armie Hammer, Lily James and Kristin Scott Thomas.
James has garnered acclaim for portraying Rose in Downton Abbey, Young Donna in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and Pamela Anderson in Pam and Tommy.
Thomas, a distinguished British actress, is recognised for her roles as Diana Taverner in Slow Horses, Fiona in Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Sylvia McCordle in Gosford Park.

The IMDb synopsis for Rebecca states: “A young newlywed arrives at her husband’s imposing family estate on a windswept English coast and finds herself battling the shadow of his first wife, Rebecca, whose legacy lives on in the house long after her death.”
Despite Rebecca holding a rather modest 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, numerous viewers believe the film deserves more recognition based on the feedback, reports the Express.

Sky is giving away a free Netflix subscription with its new Sky Stream TV bundles, including the £15 Essential TV plan.
This lets members watch live and on-demand TV content without a satellite dish or aerial and includes hit shows like Stranger Things and The Last of Us.
Viewers flocked to the comments section to express their opinions, with one remarking: “This movie gripped me from beginning to end. I couldn’t look away, and I didn’t see anything coming. You think you know what the movie is about, then there is a twist, and the whole thing takes a left turn you didn’t see coming.”

“ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! ! !” another enthusiast declared, continuing: “Nothing can touch the original masterpiece however this film, in many ways, is faithful Du Mauriers cunning flip of stereotypes.”
“Loved the thrill, love story, period views, so well made I would watch it again,” a third audience member wrote, whilst another concurred: “Loved the book and this version of it in film. Have watched I many times. Great cast and acting.”
Additional supporters praised how the classic novel had been brought to life on Netflix, with one suggesting: “If you’ve read Rebecca and it’s a beloved novel to you, this movie is amazing. A great rendition.”
Others were baffled by the film’s poor reception, with one viewer stating: “I don’t understand all the bad reviews for Rebecca. I loved the new adaptation. I especially loved the costumes and filming locations. Lily James does a wonderful job.”

“Excellent twist on a classic thriller! I am not sure why this doesn’t have better reviews but it is well worth your time,” one supporter declared, whilst another concurred: “This movie is a stunningly faithful adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel.”
Another viewer gushed: “What a ride! ! ! This genre bending thriller will take you on the wildest roller coaster of your life. The next time someone asks me what my favorite movie is, I’m saying Rebecca.
“This movie surpassed my every expectation. Here I was, sitting on the couch expecting some lame romance but nope! ! I am going to pass this movie down through generations of my family.”

Yet not all viewers shared this enthusiasm, with one critic noting: “Bland to the point of boring.”
Someone else stated: “What was an interesting, suspenseful book with hints of psychological thriller in it became a vapid, rushed, and bland movie that sapped two hours of my life. If you like your movies to stick to the plot of your books, avoid this.”
A third viewer grumbled: “As much as I love the actors and actresses in this movie, nothing about it really had me enjoying the film. The clichés were handed out like appetizers and the plot of the film was all over the place. Wasn’t a fan.”
Despite the film’s less than stellar Rotten Tomatoes rating, the abundance of positive feedback from fans suggests that Rebecca may well be an underappreciated gem.
