(Photo by Darren Staples / AFP) /NOTTINGHAM, United Kingdom (AFP)— Marcus Rashford scored a dazzling solo goal as Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday to virtually book a place at Wembley next month. Brazil winger Antony went close to making it 2-0 minutes later as United threatened to overwhelm the home team. Forest, who have won the League Cup four times in their history, thought they had equalised midway through the first half when Sam Surridge produced a fine finish after a rampaging run through the middle by Morgan Gibbs-White. Newcastle, chasing their first domestic trophy since 1955, beat Southampton 1-0 on Tuesday in their first-leg match.

PM Sunak has more problems than Carter has little liver pills

Rishi Sunak, centre, waves after winning the Conservative Party leadership contest at the Conservative Party headquarters in London, Monday to replace Liz Truss as prime minister. So, 45 days into her premiership — less time than her campaign for leadership — Ms Truss accepted the inevitable and stepped down. At age 42, Mr Sunak, Britain's youngest prime minister since 1812, inherits an economy that was headed for recession even before the turmoil triggered by Ms Truss. Mr Sunak has retained Mr Jeremy Hunt as chancellor of the exchequer, a decision considered by financial analysts as wise because it has assured financial markets of some semblance of stability. Mr Sunak has more problems than Carter has little liver pills.

Ruthless Kane lifts Spurs as Forest climb out of drop zone

Antonio Conte's inconsistent Tottenham, who finished fourth last season, had taken just one point from two matches after the Premier League resumed following the World Cup. England captain Kane scored twice in five minutes in his 300th Premier League appearance to move just two goals behind Jimmy Greaves' all-time record of 266 goals for Spurs. Nottingham Forest climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone courtesy of a precious 1-0 victory, which heaped more misery on basement club Southampton. West Ham were on course for their first league win since October when they took a 2-1 lead against Leeds at Elland Road but Spain international Rodrigo equalised in the 70th minute. David Moyes' side, who had lost their previous five matches in the Premier League, remain perilously placed, outside the bottom three only on goal difference.

UK's Sunak is first PM of colour, but equality fight not over

UK's Sunak is first PM of colour, but equality fight not overRishi Sunak leaves the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London, Monday, Oct. 24, 2022. But for many people of colour in the UK, it's not so simple. As recently as 1987 there were no people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the House of Commons. Numbers have increased steadily since, with 65 people from ethnic minority groups, or 10 per cent of the House of Commons, elected during the last general election in 2019. But Sunak isn't typical of the millions of people from Asian, African and Caribbean backgrounds who still face barriers in employment and education.
