Pope Francis was in critical condition Saturday after he suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis that required high flows of oxygen, the Vatican said.

Norwich head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup had mixed emotions after watching his side beat Stoke 4-2 to stay in the thick of the Championship play-off race. Thorup was delighted with a result which kept the Canaries just four points off the top six but irritated by the fact they let a first-half lead slip and made life more difficult for themselves than they should have. He said: “I am a little bit annoyed to be honest because it should never have been a 4-2 game, it should have been a 5-0 one. “Not for the first time this season we…

Coventry manager Frank Lampard claimed his side’s 2-1 victory against Preston was one of his most pleasing since he took charge. The Sky Blues were two goals to the good at half-time through Jack Rudoni and Bobby Thomas, and spurred a host of chances to kill the game off before Will Keane halved the deficit.

For Andoni Iraola and Bournemouth it was an opportunity not taken, as with fourth-place Manchester City…

The two other hostages were held for a decade after entering Gaza on their own. Five were handed over in…
