My club has suffered – Emma Hayes hopes FA Cup win brings ‘joy’ to Chelsea fans
My club has suffered – Emma Hayes hopes FA Cup win brings ‘joy’ to Chelsea fans
Chelsea boss Emma Hayes praised striker Sam Kerr as she dedicated her side’s third consecutive FA Cup victory to Blues fans in a year in which she feels the wider club has “suffered”. Kerr struck the winner past England goalkeeper Mary Earps to fire Chelsea to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in front of a crowd of 77,390 at Wembley, a new world record for a women’s domestic club fixture. It was the fifth time in nine years Chelsea have triumphed in the showpiece and another game-changing moment from Australia international Kerr, who latched on to substitute Pernille Harder’s pinpoint pass to steer home the winner in the 68th minute. “I’ve never coached a player like her,” said Hayes. “For a player to have such convictions, such confidence, such courage, the way she attacks everything. “What I love about Sam is she is willing to take responsibility for the team at the top end of the pitch, but I think it’s important to mention Pernille Harder, because without Pernille Harder she wouldn’t have got that goal. “So congratulations to the team, the squad. It will bug me if I don’t say this – I’m a football fan and I’ve watched how much my club has suffered this year. “We’ve had ownership changes, the men’s team hasn’t been brilliant, Chelsea fans this is for you. I hope we had a little bit of joy tonight. I hope we gave you something where you can smile about it this year. The whole club, owners included.” We've had ownership changes, the men's team hasn't been brilliant, Chelsea fans this is for you. I hope we had a little bit of joy tonight Emma Hayes It ultimately came down to fine margins for Marc Skinner’s United side, who had reached a major final for the first time since their promotion from the Championship in 2019. They started brightly and largely controlled a first half in which they had a goal chalked off for offside and a penalty appeal by Nikita Parris turned down, officials ultimately determining she had been brought down by Niamh Charles outside the area. Second-half substitutions saw Chelsea spring back to life after a first period that led Hayes to agree with assistant manager Paul Green, who branded it the “worst first half of FA Cup football we’ve ever had”. Her mood had shifted by the time the final whistle blew and the Prince of Wales draped a medal around her neck. She said: “I think our team has been in transition, with six different players in the starting line-up to last year’s final. My big thing is, ‘How can we still keep winning while transitioning?’ “So this year of trying to get as many players as many opportunities and keep developing their experiences in all areas of the pitch and to win knowing we’re in that stage, this is far and away my most memorable FA Cup final.” Skinner’s side still lead the Women’s Super League, although second-placed Chelsea, with a game in hand, are just one point behind. It has been a year of firsts for his team, who are tantalisingly close to clinching a first ever Champions League berth. Skinner said: “I’m not going to stop and this team’s not going to stop. If anyone thinks we’re going away, we’re not going away. “These are just moments you have to win and we haven’t done that today, but we’ve got a really good account of ourselves and we’ll be back, no doubt about that. “We know how special our club is and how we need to be synonymous with success. Along the way you get a few bumps and today is one of them.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Brighton win puts Manchester City on title brink – 5 things from Premier League George Ford ‘a little pocket of calm amid the chaos’, says Alex Sanderson Owen Farrell adamant Saracens have always played with adventure in attack

'Ghost garden' discovered at country home due to intense heatwave
'Ghost garden' discovered at country home due to intense heatwave
The UK heatwave has uncovered a "ghost garden" at a British country house. The scorching temperatures have caused the outline of the Victorian formal garden at Gawthorpe Hall, near Burnley, to re-emerge on its front lawn. Aerial photographs capture the traces of the footpaths of the Victorian parterre garden, which was installed in the 1860s. The garden was removed after the Second World War due to maintenance costs but often re-emerges during summer months as various soil types dry at different rates. Built-in the Elizabethan era, the hall was remodeled in the 1850s by noted architect Sir Charles Barry, who sketched out plans for the Houses of Parliament. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Barry also re-designed the gardens at both the front and back of the property. The one at the back is smaller and was kept after the Second World War, but the front one became too onerous to maintain and was removed in 1946. It comes as Britain has baked in 30C heat, prompting an amber heat alert from the UK Health Authority. So much so, now employers are being urged to relax dress codes and let staff work at cooler times of the day. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said the current temperatures for June, and the record-breaking temperatures reached last summer, show that helping workers during extreme heat must be a priority for employers. Spokeswoman Clare Owen said: "The updated yellow heat-health alert, as well as the extreme heat we experienced in 2022, should serve as a wake-up call for all employers. "We know that employers are under pressure and we don’t want to add to their burden, but climate change means we’re likely to get hotter summers and that could have a big impact on the workforce of this country." TUC general secretary Paul Nowak added: "We’ve all been enjoying the sunny weather after a cold start to the year, but working in sweltering conditions can be unbearable and dangerous, whether it’s in an overheated shop, a baking office, or outdoors in the direct sun." "Indoor workplaces should be kept cool, with relaxed dress codes and flexible working to make use of the coolest hours of the day. "Employers must make sure outdoor workers are protected with regular breaks, lots of fluids, plenty of sunscreen and the right protective clothing." Credit: SWNS. Have your say in our news democracy.

Woman finds the one app you really don't want to see on her boyfriend's phone
Woman finds the one app you really don't want to see on her boyfriend's phone
A woman has revealed she found an app on her boyfriend's phone that made her very cross indeed. Posting on Reddit, the 29-year-old woman explained that she'd been with her 36-year-old boyfriend for five years but she "went through his phone", only to discover that he'd "made a Tinder profile" and she was worried he was "cheating." She wrote: "We just moved to Minnesota, I relocated to be with him and his family and we have a two-year-old son. So this is really heartbreaking to me. I don't know how to bring up this conversation without it being turned on me for snooping. "I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because I do love him, but the betrayal hurts so I just need a little advice. So to all who read this, should I just ask him straight out or just let sleeping dogs lie?" In the comments, people suggested that if he wasn't cheating already, he was probably planning to cheat so it would be best to leave the relationship. This is everyone's worst nightmare.
