Leandro Trossard’s deflected 83rd-minute effort proved decisive as the Gunners restored their five-point lead over Manchester City with just two games remaining of the Premier League season.
Replays showed West Ham forward Pablo with an arm across David Raya in the build-up, a highly controversial moment likely to have major repercussions at both ends of the division come the end of the campaign.

The result kept Arsenal’s hopes of a historic double alive as Arteta’s men took a giant step towards a first league title in 22 years, but injuries to Calafiori and White took some of the shine off an otherwise momentous weekend for the leaders.
Calafiori’s withdrawal at the midway point was initially assumed to be a tactical decision, but Arteta confirmed after the final whistle that the Italy international was forced off with an unspecified problem.
White, meanwhile, was taken off following a heavy challenge with Crysencio Summerville in the 28th minute, and the defender looked in some discomfort as he hobbled off the field to be replaced by Martin Zubimendi.
The England international was later pictured making his way out of the stadium through the mixed zone wearing a knee brace.

Asked for an update on White’s condition at this post-match press conference, the Arsenal head coach told reporters: ‘We don’t know [the severity] but it doesn’t look good at all.
‘He needs some further testing tomorrow probably and I will know a bit more.’
Turning his attentions to Arsenal’s display, Arteta applauded his players for their efforts against a West Ham side ‘fighting for their lives’ at the wrong end of the table.

‘What a moment, what an afternoon, what a week it has been for us, full of emotions,’ Arteta continued.
‘I cannot praise enough the attitude, the desire, the courage and the quality that the team has shown throughout this week because there was so much at stake.
‘Today we knew that against a team fighting for their lives, a club with an incredible history. We knew how tough it was going to be.
‘We started the game so well, created three big chances to go in front and we didn’t manage to do that so we had to keep our heads cool.

‘We then had the Ben White injury and we had to make an adjustment there. After half-time, we had to make another one with Riccardo Calafiori’s injury.
‘After that that I said to the boys, “We’re really going to go for it so be ready”, because if the game is not panning out then we were going to have to change it.
‘The finishers made the difference. Martin had an incredible impact in the game, an action that leaves Leandro in a top position to score the goal.
‘There are then two moments: one is David’s save at 0-0, which is the story of the season, and the other one was in the most chaotic circumstances when two teams and playing for their lives.’
On his side being just two matches away from the title, Arteta went on: ‘Now we leave and enjoy what we have done today, because as I said it has been an incredible week.

‘Those players, the way they are standing in front of the opportunity and showing resilience is remarkable and recover a little bit and start to prepare for Burnley.’
A chartered Titan Airways flight transported the passengers from the Canary Islands, landing at Manchester Airport on Sunday evening.
The 20 British passengers, who were tested for hantavirus before getting on the flight, will be taken to isolate at the UK’s initial Covid quarantine site at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral, Merseyside.
Emergency services in the North West said they expected the passengers to be housed and provided with clothes at the “managed setting” for up to 72 hours.

The Arrowe Park facility has six storeys of self-contained flats with their own bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, kitchen and lounge facilities.
Janelle Holmes, chief executive of Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, told the media that Arrowe Park would do “welfare checks on each individual”.
She added: “There’s nobody being transferred to us that has been symptomatic in any way.
“There’s no impact on the hospital. Services are running as normal, patients should still attend their appointments.”

The hospital leader said if passengers develop symptoms, they will be taken to Royal Liverpool University Hospital, which houses the regional Tropical and Infectious Diseases Unit.
Ms Holmes said hantavirus is “very different” to Covid and the risk to the general public is “really low”.
She added: “You’ve got to have really, really close contact. It’s not like Covid or flu or those types of viruses.”
After their isolation, public health specialists will assess whether passengers can isolate at home or at another suitable location based on their living arrangements.

Britons returning to the UK will stay in self-isolation for 45 days and will not be allowed to take public transport to their homes.
In a post on X, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “Thank you to all those who worked around the clock to get passengers from MV Hondius back to the UK by special flight this evening with public health protections in place.
“The UK has worked with Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and the WHO to coordinate safe returns.”
The MV Hondius arrived in Tenerife on Sunday morning, with Spanish authorities beginning evacuations of the cruise ship by nationality and ferrying passengers to a port by small boat.

While they were being bussed from the port at Granadilla de Abona to Tenerife South Airport, some British passengers, clad in blue PPE, waved and gave thumbs up as they passed watching media.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said its goal was to finish the ship’s evacuation, with the exception of 30 crew members remaining on board, by 7pm on Monday.
Passengers were told to leave their luggage on the ship and were only allowed to take a small bag with essential items such as their phone and passport.
The Spanish health ministry said on Sunday that 94 people of 19 nationalities had been taken off the cruise ship.

One of five French passengers showed symptoms during their repatriation flight, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Sunday.
In a post on X, he said all five were “immediately placed in strict isolation until further notice” where they will receive medical care and undergo further testing.
Some 30 crew members and a nurse from the Netherlands, as well as the body of a passenger who died on board, will remain on the ship, which will sail to Rotterdam in the Netherlands where it will undergo disinfection, the WHO said.
The WHO said on Saturday there had been six confirmed hantavirus cases linked to MV Hondius and four patients were in hospital.

It added that eight cases, including three deaths, had been reported – with one previous suspected case being reclassified after testing negative for hantavirus.
The UKHSA said three British nationals are included in the eight cases – two involve confirmed hantavirus and another is suspected.
The two confirmed British cases are in hospital in South Africa and the Netherlands, while the third British national with a suspected case is being supported on the British overseas territory of Tristan da Cunha where they live.
Six paratroopers, an RAF consultant and an Army nurse from 16 Air Assault Brigade were parachuted onto the South Atlantic island, while oxygen supplies and medical aid were also dropped on Tristan da Cunha, which is normally only accessible by boat.

The Ministry of Defence said it was the first time medical personnel had been parachuted in to provide humanitarian support.
Police sealed off an area of Broughty Ferry Beach in Dundee on Sunday.
A body has been found in water near where a teenager vanished last month. Phoenix Birkett, 17, was last seen on the Tay Bridge in Dundee in the early hours of April 8 and was reported missing to Police Scotland the same day.

Outline planning permission was previously granted in 2023 paving the way for potential development of the former Empire Theatre, on the corner of Deepdale Road and Cowscote Crescent, for new apartments.
A new ‘reserved matters’ application submitted to Redcar and Cleveland Council gives further detail of plans to demolish a derelict building replacing it with 20 flats, consisting of one and two bedrooms, along with parking.
A statement prepared by consultants Hartlepool-based Origin Planning Services on behalf of applicant Peter Hall said the proposed layout followed the principles agreed as part of the outline permission.

It said: “The proposed layout has been carefully developed in response to the site’s prominent corner position and sloping topography.
“The scheme comprises a single apartment building accommodating 20 no 1 and 2 bed units, arranged to make efficient use of the site whilst maintaining a logical and legible form of development.
“Adequate separation distances are achieved between the proposed development and adjacent properties, ensuring that privacy, outlook and residential amenity are preserved.”
The new development would be three storeys high with the statement explaining: “The scale of the development has been carefully considered in the context of the surrounding built environment, which features a mix of building heights and land levels.

“The sloping nature of the site has been utilised to reduce the perceived scale and massing of the building, with elements of the lower ground floor partially set into the site.
“This approach ensures that the development does not appear overly dominant within the street scene.”
It said the appearance would be of a “contemporary architectural approach”, while the combination of materials, detailing and façade treatment proposed “serves to break up the massing of the building and create visual interest, resulting in a high-quality and cohesive appearance”.
Vehicle access would be from Deepdale Road with 21 car parking spaces provided.

The Empire Palace of Varieties as it was first known originally opened in 1911 showcasing variety acts and films.
It was rebuilt and expanded in 1937, becoming known as simply the Empire Theatre.
The application site, a short distance away from Loftus Leisure Centre, later hosted the Regent Bingo Club, before re-opening as a cinema in 1977, closing for good six years later and subsequently being utilised for storage purposes.
The Jardine Gallery & Workshop has welcomed its first visitors to its studio in Colliergate.
Set up by owner Julian and his partner Ali, the gallery hosts many talented artists’ work, including paintings, sculptures, photography, glasswork, woodcraft and jewellery.

He explained: “I found that studios in Scandinavia had a little bit of everything, from sculptures to landscape pieces.
“I wanted to emulate that – hosting a variety of art, even if I find it difficult to sell – it adds to the experience for people.”
Julian and Ali purchased the three-storey building – formerly Saskia & Co – after being enchanted by York and its proximity to art shows in the UK.

Speaking about this, he said: “After graduating from the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, I became self-employed with the aid of the Prince’s Trust in 1993.
“I supplied galleries in the UK and abroad while tackling a variety of freelance sculpting jobs before starting my art gallery in Perth in 2008.
“We then opened up a workshop, where we would host a variety of art and sculpting classes for both adults and children to help fund the studio, in 2012.”

He said: “Currently, I am working on a giant tortoise for a collector.
“My last one took me three days to sculpt and a further five days to dry, fire, rest and paint.

“I also have moulds of previous ceramic sculptures to save time and to make it more affordable for the customer, as I would like to show art of varying prices and styles.”

Eventually, Julian said he would like to convert a snug space outside the studio into an area for his electric kiln, along with more space for art on the building’s top floor.
He added that in the coming months, a weekly workshop for York visitors and residents may be put on for up to 10 people.

Britons evacuated from a cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak have arrived in the UK and have been taken to an isolation facility after being repatriated from Tenerife.
The 20 British passengers, who were tested for hantavirus before getting on the flight, will now isolate at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral.
The Merseyside hospital was the nation’s initial quarantine site for British citizens returning from Wuhan, China, at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in January 2020.

Britons returning to the UK will stay in self-isolation for 45 days and will not be allowed to take public transport to their homes.
It comes after the MV Hondius arrived in Tenerife in the early hours of Sunday, triggering an evacuation operation with passengers ferried to a port by small boat, not before medics in full PPE checked all remained asymptomatic.
Some 22 British nationals were taken to shore – with 20 getting on the repatriation flight and two dual-nationals heading elsewhere.
While they were being bussed from the port at Granadilla de Abona to Tenerife South Airport, some British passengers, clad in blue PPE, waved and gave thumbs up as they passed watching media.

There is also mini golf and boat trips at this landlocked reservoir
Summer is the time when most people go on holiday, therefore it’s a chance to have some fun. There is plenty on offer for families and children to do in Cambridgeshire, but also some fun things on the border.

Just half an hour from Peterborough and 90 minutes from Cambridge is Rutland Water. Rutland Water is the perfect place to explore the outdoors.
It covers over 4,200 acres of open countryside, as well as a park for walking and cycling and a nature reserve to explore wildlife. As well as a fun play park, there is also a beach hidden within Rutland Water.
The landlocked beach, named Syke’s Lane, has endless amounts of sand. It is one of Rutland Water’s busiest attractions.
On hot days, it’s said to be “very very busy”, according to Anglian Water which oversees Rutland Water. It’s also an award winning beach, as it is the first inland bathing water location in England to be awarded the Blue Flag and Seaside Award.
On the Rutland Water website, it said the award recognises “both excellent water quality, biodiversity and green space for the community”. Rutland Water also promises “adrenaline-filled fun” for those who like to live on the edge.
There are a number of water sports on offer at the site. People can sail, windsurf, kayak, canoe or paddleboard. From May until August, the water sports can be done between 9am and until 6pm.
For some less adrenaline-filled activities, there is some other fun on offer. Visitors can enjoy a friendly game of mini golf on the 12-hole golf course.

Each hole becomes more challenging as you move around the course. People can also catch a ride on the Rutland Belle.
On the Anglian Water website, it said the boat is a “fantastic way to explore the stunning water park” from water. To find out more about all of the fun on offer at Rutland Water, visit the website.
Keir Starmer will vow to put Britain “at the heart of Europe” in a last-ditch attempt to convince Labour MPs not to dump him as prime minister.
The PM will deliver a make-or-break speech in London amid mounting speculation that he will face a leadership challenge within days.
It comes just days after Labour lost 1,500 councillors in England and also suffered humiliating defeats in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Senedd elections.
Former minister Catherine West said on Sunday that she would wait until after Starmer has delivered his speech before deciding whether to trigger a leadership contest.

Setting out how he plans to turn around the fortunes of his party and the government, Starmer will say that “incremental change won’t cut it”.
“On growth, defence, Europe, energy – we need a bigger response than we anticipated in 2024 because these are not ordinary times,” the prime minister will say.
“Strength through fairness. It’s a core Labour argument. And you will see those values writ large in the King’s Speech. And you will see hope, urgency and exactly whose side we are on.”
The PM will say “people need hope” and that only Labour can deliver the solutions to the problems the country faces.

Starmer will say Nigel Farage and the Conservatives are “defined by breaking our relationship with Europe.”
He will add: “This Labour government will be defined by rebuilding our relationship and by putting Britain at the heart of Europe, so that we are stronger on the economy, on trade, on defence, you name it.
“Because standing shoulder to shoulder with the countries that most share our interests, our values and our enemies that is the right choice for Britain, that is the Labour choice.”
However, it is understood he will insist Labour will not break its “red lines” of ruling out a return to free movement, and membership of the European Union’s customs union and single market.

It remains to be seen whether the speech will be enough to prevent Labour MPs demanding he set out a timetable to leave No.10.

On Sunday night (May 10), fans saw brand-loving shopaholics Saffron, Umar, and Bridie ditch their luxurious lives to step back in time to a 1960s-inspired off-grid life in Cornwall.
However, things took a turn for Saffron when things got a bit too much for her after discovering where she’d be spending her week.
Once she arrived at their lodgings with her suitcase, the 26-year-old was overcome with emotion and began crying.
She commented, “I can’t do this, I don’t like any of it. I don’t want to do this anymore. No, I really don’t want to do this anymore. It’s too much, I can’t.”
As one of the farm residents, Babu, sat down to calm Saffron down, she explained that the whole place was ‘too much’ for her to handle. She added: “The bees, the walking, the climbing. I’m not used to quiet at all.”
While Babu offered some kind words of encouragement, Saffron decided to stay and give life on the farm a go. During the programme, viewers got to learn more about Saffron’s life and career.
Speaking to the camera in her home, she shared, “I am a sugar baby. A sugar baby is basically a companion. When I have a long-term sugar daddy, then the items per month would be a few Chanel handbags or a few Christian Louboutins.
“The men that I’ve dated, they’ve always looked after me, I’m just a 24/7 princess, so I don’t know what life is without that.”
Saffron told the group at the farm that nothing intimate happens between them, but it’s much more conversational-based.
Despite a rocky start, Channel 5 viewers saw a change of heart in Saffron as she got stuck into helping the farm produce fresh organic apple juice to sell at a farmers’ market.
Although there were a few tears from the 26-year-old later on in the show, when she spoke about her bullying ordeal when she was younger, it seemed as though it was a positive experience overall for her.
As the episode came to an end, she said: “The biggest challenge of this week has been the whole bl***y week! I know that everyone thought I was going to leave day one, myself included, but no, I stayed the week! I’m not proud of myself this week, no.
“I’m going to be real, I think there’s a lot more I could’ve tried, but there was so much emotion that kept coming over me every time in every single activity, I was finding bits of myself that I’d hidden for so long.”

A dedicated building was constructed for the murderer’s execution
Cambridgeshire is known for its deep history, the world renowned university city of Cambridge, and for being a vibrant, cultural hub. However, only real insiders will know that the county also has a dark history characterised by devastating fires, epidemics and infamous crimes.
Advertisement
One of these resulted in the first person to be executed in Cambridge and here is why.
In 1897, Walter Horsford was a wealthy farmer at Spaldwick, Huntingdon – a village which lies around 6 miles west of Huntingdon. He was in an intimate relationship with Annie Holmes, his cousin, a widow with three children.
In October 1897, he married another cousin, Bessie Mash, and Annie, consequently left Spaldwick and lodged in an inn in St Neots. This forms part of the horrendous tale that was yet to unfold.
Shortly after this marriage, Annie wrote him a letter telling him she was pregnant with his child. Horsford was terrified his new wife would find out about the pregnancy, and this is where the story becomes chilling.

Horsford went to his local pharmacy and picked up some rat poison and sent it to Annie in a postal packet. A handwritten note that came as part of the package read: “One dose. Take as told.”
A blank label was also written by Horsford, stating: “Take in a little water, it is quite harmless”.
In January, 1898, Annie took the potion and around an hour later, after having gone to bed, her daughter heard screaming and found her mother in anguish. Annie had sadly died within a few minutes of the doctor arriving.
At an inquest the following day, Horsford stated he had not written to Annie nor seen her since she left. Following a search and investigations, on January 10, Horsford was arrested for perjury at the inquest, and later that day further arrested for murder.
Advertisement
The trial took place on June 2, 1898 where it was stated that the impression of handwriting on the packages could be traced to Horsford’s blotter at home. He had purchased the poisoning from a local chemist in December 1897, claiming he was overrun with rats, and signed the register with his name.
The jury did not retire but returned a guilty verdict for Annie’s death immediately after the judge’s summing up.
Horsford was also suspected of three other murders including his former fiancée Fanny James, who died in 1890 after claiming she had become pregnant, and receiving a letter from Horsford. However, the inquest at the time recorded a verdict of death through eating a hearty meal.
The second was reportedly a girl from Peterborough who died after receiving a letter from him and the third case involved a man with the surname James who was a relative of Fanny James.

Horsford supplied the usual beer to a group of men after working a day threshing wheat. He took James aside and gave him an ‘extra quart’. It was found that James had died later that night. The inquest verdict reportedly recorded death from sunstroke.
Horsford was sentenced to death and held at Cambridge prison for the murder of Annie Holmes. Construction of a specially made building began for his execution and he was hanged on June 28.
