      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN has won the Japanese Grand Prix to seal his first victory of the season!The Red Bull superstar edged out McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who finished second and third, respectively.Verstappen became the first driver in history to win four straight races at Suzuka.Result: 1. Max Verstappen, 2. Lando Norris, 3. Oscar PiastriBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKFollow our live blog below…McLaren keep lead at the topDespite finishing second to Max Verstappen, Lando Norris kept his spot at the top of the driver’s championship.He stays one point ahead of his Red Bull rival.The big question will be whether McLaren learn from this missed chance where they opted not to let the faster Oscar Piastri to switch places with his teammate.Credit: GettyCopy linkCopiedTeam celebrate combined effortMany felt this Red Bull car currently is unable to match the McLaren which is looking far more capable.However, Verstappen showed that there is one thing they overlooked, a superb driver.It was a brilliant performance from the current world champion, making it four Japanese Grand Prix victories in a row.Credit: GettyCopy linkCopiedFun and games after competitionDespite going toe to toe for the entire race, it was business as usual on the podium.It is not customary to bathe your opponents in

GettyCopy linkCopiedNorris shows class in interviewWhen speaking with Sky Sports, the first question they asked him was about the pit lane incident.The McLaren driver said that he didn’t expect to come out of their in front and Verstappen had no reason to let him through.It led to him losing the one second he gained from the rapid pit stop but it came and went in a blink of an eye.Copy linkCopiedRespect between rivalsOver recent years, when the top three drivers watch the race back, you could often cut the tension with a knife.Lando Norris and Max Verstappen seem to get on far better although this may just be a professional respect.From what we have seen so far this could be some battle this season.Copy linkCopiedRed Bull picking up pointsThe ‘Driver of the Day’ award has gone to Yuki Tsunoda.He finished in twelfth place but seemed to impress the fans who voted.It will take ssome of the disappointment away from his Red Bull debut.Copy linkCopiedBig result for Racing

Oliver Bearman.Copy linkCopiedRivals take time to watch replay togetherMax Verstappen and Lando Norris watched the one bit of excitement when they came out of the pit lanes today.The McLaren had no space and headed over the grass, cancelling out the one second advantage they gained from their pit time.As they watched the replay, Verstappen commented “that’s quite an expensive lawnmower!”Copy linkCopiedImportant victory for Red BullYou felt the Japanese Grand Prix was a real chance for Max Verstappen to put pressure on Norris in the driver’s championship.Getting pole position was important, but not as much as the start to this race.The Red Bull driver got off quickest and then closed off the McLaren so they could not make a move on him.From that point he drove the perfect race to hold them off for all 53 laps.Credit: APCopy linkCopiedMcLaren fail to show team spiritThe big advantage they have this season, aside from having the best car, is their drivers seem to be neck and neck in races.That should allow them to operate as a team, something Verstappen hasn’t been able to do for some time.However, when Piastri was constantly putting in the fastest laps and trailed Norris by 0.5 seconds, you felt they should have switched positions to take on Verstappen.Credit: EPACopy linkCopiedRed Bull gives you winsMax Verstappen has had a fantastic weekend in Suzuka.This is his

      F1 Japanese Grand Prix LIVE RESULTS: Max Verstappen on POLE for huge race ahead of Lando Norris – updates

      by

      FORMULA ONE travels to Japan in the third race of the 2025 season. Lando Norris currently leads the World Drivers’ Championship after two races, after winning in Australia and getting second in China. Lewis Hamilton will be looking for a boost in Japan, as he currently sits ninth in the Drivers’ Championship after two races. Max Verstappen will also be looking to improve on two second place finishes, as he aims to chase down Lando Norris at the top of the WDC.Start time: 6am BSTTV channel: Sky Sports F1BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKFollow our live blog below…Bear the fruitsOllie Bearman has revealed the stunning tactic he used to score a surprise top-ten qualifying result at the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix.The Haas rookie, 19, made a shock Q3 appearance after only running at best 15th fastest across the three practice sessions.But the Brit, racing at the circuit for the first time in his F1 career, turned his form around on Saturday to place P10 – his team’s best qualifying result at Suzuka since 2019.Speaking about his lap, Bearman revealed how using a tactic from “iRacing”, online motorsport races played through video games, had helped him gain vital time at the end of his lap.He said: “I had a snap in the chicane. I was taking more and more kerb every single lap, and the last lap was a little bit too much.“Every time I was doing it, I was gaining more and lap time, so I thought, why not take a little more?“I was going as tight as I could to the wall.

And we just didn’t get that nor did anyone else for that matter.”So definitely, we spoke to the FIA at the end of that one [FP3],” he added. “No one wants these, and it’s the same for everyone. That’s the best way I can put it.“So it’s down to us to make sure that we don’t get caught out by it.”Copy linkCopiedQualifying chaosQualifying for the Japan Grand Prix was clouded by smoke from trackside fires causing red flag chaos throughout the session.Suzuka Circuit looked more like a wildfire than a race track as grass fires broke out throughout qualification and practice.Saturday morning’s practice was hit by two red flag delays from the wildfires, while the qualifying itself saw another two fires cause chaos.Sparks flying from the cars were blowing in the air and landing on dry grass and causing it to set alight.Copy linkCopiedWelcome to the Japanese Grand PrixHello and welcome to SunSport’s coverage of the Japanese Grand Prix!Max Verstappen put together a blistering final lap out of nowhere to take pole for Sunday’s race for the fourth time in a row – setting a new track lap record of 1.26.983.While McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were right behind in second and third.Verstappen said: “Yeah, I am [surprised]. Each session we kept making little improvements. Then the last lap was just flat out.”In a Formula 1 car around here is insane.

      Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest LIVE SCORE: Latest after Palace beat Brighton and Wolves fight back at Ipswich – latest

      by

      ASTON VILLA are hosting rivals Nottingham Forest in a massive Midlands derby!In a packed Saturday of football, Crystal Palace beat rivals Brighton after 14 MINUTES of injury time.Ipswich were in front against Wolves, but suffered a huge body blow as the visitors fought back from a goal to win 2-1.Graham Potter’s West Ham drew with Bournemouth.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…From Matt Hughes at Selhurst ParkCrystal Palace dug in to secure their first league double over rivals Brighton for 93 years to increase their hopes of qualifying for Europe.  Oliver Glasner’s in-form side are now two-points behind eighth-placed Brighton with a game in hand after this hard-fought win, secured by goals in each half from Jean-Phillipe Mateta and Daniel Munoz.Palace had to play the final 25 minutes (including 12 of tension-inducing added time) with just 10 after substitute Eddie Nketiah was sent off after just 11 minutes on the pitch, but showed the resilience that is becoming the hallmark of their increasingly impressive season. After failing to win their first eight games Palace could yet end it in Europe, having already booked a visit to Wembley to face Aston Villa in an FA Cup semi-final at the end of the month.Copy linkCopiedFrom Ivan Speck at Portman RoadThe Wolves fans are singing ‘We are staying up’ at Portman Road after their comeback 2-1 win at Ipswich who are now headed straight back to the Championship.The mathematics say that Ipswich can still bridge a 12-point gap to their visitors. Logic says otherwise after Jorgen Strand Larsen stabbed home an 85th-minute Pablo Sarabia volleyed cross.Substitute Sarabia had earlier cancelled out Liam Delap’s first-half opener for Ipswich.Copy linkCopiedFrom Rob Maul at the London StadiumWest Ham fans must just wish the season could end tomorrow.Pride is perhaps the only thing the club is playing for these days. It is highly unlikely, with three poor teams inside the drop zone, that they are going to get relegated from the Premier League.And though the core problems are not his fault, the honeymoon period for Graham Potter ended a while ago.Bournemouth, meanwhile, still have aspirations of European football next season.Copy linkCopiedFull time – Crystal Palace 2-1 BrightonThe nine men of Crystal Palace have held on to beat the ten men of Brighton.Daniel Munoz’s trundler was the matchwinner before the red mist descended on Selhurst Park.Copy linkCopiedFull time – Ipswich 1-2 WolvesIpswich Town have now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season, and it has Kieran McKenna and his team staring an immediate return to the Championship in the face.Wolves, meanwhile, can smell survival under Vitor Pereira.Copy linkCopiedFull time – West Ham 2-2 BournemouthIt’s another draw between West Ham and Bournemouth, the only surprise is this one didn’t end 1-1.Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 2-1 Brighton90+6. A THIRD red card at Selhurst Park!This time Jan Paul van Hecke is given his marching orders by Anthony Taylor for clipping Daichi Kamada as the Palace player threatened to race through on goal.Who says this isn’t a proper rivalry?!Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 2-1 Brighton90. Crystal Palace are now down to NINE men with Marc Guehi following Eddie Nketiah for an early bath.Already on a booking, the England defender crunches his studs into the midriff of Brajan Gruda.And now Oliver Glasner’s depleted team have 12 minutes of stoppage time to hold out for.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Ipswich 1-2 Wolves84. Jorgen Strand Larsen has Wolverhampton Wanderers on the verge of Premier League safety.The introduction of Pablo Sarabia has turned this game on its head, and after scoring, the substitute how now set up a second for the Norwegian.Strand Larsen bundles in his fourth in three games, a goal finally given the green light after a lengthy offside check,The striker picks up a yellow card for his excessive celebrations, but I doubt he cares too much about that.Copy linkCopiedFrom Matt Hughes at Selhurst ParkDaniel Munoz restored Palace’s lead in the 55th minute with another goal created by Eberechi Eze in front of England manager Thomas Tuchel.Eze’s cross-field pass to release Munoz was exquisite, although it still left the Colombian international with a lot to do.The 28-year-old showed no ill effects from last week’s trip to South America for World Cup qualifiers however, and cut in from the right to beat Bart Verbruggen at his far post. Copy linkCopiedGOAL! West Ham 2-2 Bournemouth79. Two for Evanilson, two for Bournemouth, and this game is deadlocked once again.It was a long ball lofted to the edge of the area, headed on by Dean Huijsen, and followed all the way in by the Brazilian striker.It’s seven in nine for the former Porto man!Copy linkCopiedCrystal Palace 2-1 Brighton78. Well, this is an interesting 10-minute cameo from Eddie Nketiah.Introduced as a 68th-minute substitute for Jean-Philippe Mateta, the striker was first booked for simulation, and has now been sent off for catching Jan Paul van Hecke with a high boot.Crystal Palace will have to see this one out a man light.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! Ipswich 1-1 Wolves72. What a big goal this could be from Pablo Sarabia!Jorgen Strand Larsen does well to hold the ball up and feed the Spanish substitute, who initially gets lucky with a bounce off a defender before steering low past Alex Palmer and into the bottom corner.It could spell the end of the road for Ipswich Town.Copy linkCopiedFrom Ivan Speck at Portman RoadThe anxiety levels of the Ipswich fans keeps going up. Joao Gomes struck the home upright within five minutes of the restart, while nervous defending has already seen one almighty scramble indie the home area.It’s one-way traffic towards the Ipswich goal now.Copy linkCopiedGOAL! West Ham 2-1 Bournemouth68. What a turnaround at the London Stadium!

      ARSENAL and Everton can’t be separated in final back-and-forth Goodison clash. Following a tense opening half an hour, Trossard would be on the receiving end of Sterling’s driving run into the Blues box before dispatching his strike. Three minutes to be exact, a scrambling-back Myles Lewis-Skelly would be on the wrong side of Jack Harrison pulling him down in the process – giving a penalty away – as Iliman Ndiaye levelled from twelve yards.

      Chelsea vs Tottenham LIVE RESULT: Chelsea WIN after Enzo Fernandez goal and TWO goals disallowed by VAR

      by

      CHELSEA were WINNERS against Tottenham, and climbed back into the top four with three points.Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke all returned from injuries to feature for Enzo Maresca’s side.Chelsea had the better chances in the first 45, but Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Jadon Sancho were unable to take any of their efforts.Enzo Fernandez did get the ball rolling in the second half, scoring from a header after a great cross from Cole Palmer.VAR then had a heavy hand in the game, as Moises Caicedo and Pape Matar Sarr both saw strikes ruled out by the referee.Tottenham had a lot of the ball in the 12 minutes of added time, but Ange Postecoglou’s side were unable to make anything of the chances.Kick off time: 8pm GMTTV channel: Sky Sports Main EventLive stream: NOW/Sky Sports appChelsea team: Sanchez, Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Neto, Palmer, Sancho, JacksonTottenham team: Vicario, Spence, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison, Odobert, Solanke, SonCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…How did Palmer do?Chelsea superstar Cole Palmer returned to action from a hamstring injury.And it seems like the Blues are still dependent on Palmer’s displays.In fact, the winger was the one that created Enzo Fernandez’s winner.More below:Copy linkCopiedBig VAR controversyVAR ruled out not one, but TWO goals in the Chelsea vs Spurs clash.

Ange Postecoglou and Spurs remain off the rails, on the road to nowhere. Or the sack.The Aussie cupped his ears at his own fans when substitute Pape Matar Sarr seemed to have grabbed an equaliser his team did not deserve.Moments earlier the travelling supporters had told him “You don’t know what you’re doing” when he had brought on Sarr for their beloved Lucas Bergvall in a double change with 25 minutes to go.But Postecoglou was hung out to dry when a VAR intervention led to the goal being ruled out for Sarr’s foul on Moises Caicedo.On another night, the main story would have been fit-again Palmer providing only his second goal contribution of 2025 – and his first in 10 games – by laying the only goal on a plate for Enzo Fernandez.It puts Chelsea on the front foot again after rivals for a Champions League place won earlier in the midweek round of games.But their victory was hardly unexpected. Nor was another dismal night for Spurs and Postecoglou.Credit: GettyCopy linkCopiedWord from Stamford BridgeFull-time and Ange Postecoglou has now become the first Spurs manager ever to lose his opening four league games against Chelsea.They way things are going, you wonder if he will survive in his job to have a fifth and sixth next term.His team were undone by one Enzo Fernandez goal here but were lucky it was not more.The Aussie may have lost the support of a few more fans too after an incident surrounding a double sub in the second half.Spurs supporters chanted, “You don’t know what you’re doing” when he took off fan favourite Lucas Bergvall for Pape Matar Sarr, as well as Wilson Odobert for Brennan Johnson.Sarr then looked to have netted an equaliser with a long-range strike, after which Postecoglou controversially cupped his ear towards the away support as if to say, “What do you think of the sub now?”The goal was then ruled out after a lengthy VAR check for a foul from Sarr on Moises Caicedo, who himself had had a goal chalked off for offside earlier in the game.All in all, it was another uncomfortable night for Postecoglou whose dismal league season shows no signs of improvement.Credit: ReutersCopy linkCopiedFT: Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamChelsea picked up a big win over London rivals Tottenham at Stamford Bridge to move up to fourth place in the Premier League table.The Blues earned the three points after Enzo Fernandez met a stunning cross by Cole Palmer and beat Guglielmo Vicario with a clinical header on 50 minutes.The West Londoners then had a goal by Moises Caicedo chalked off by VAR as Levi Colwill was offside in the build-up.Spurs also had an equaliser disallowed as Pape Matar Sarr fouled Caicedo before his wondergoal.Credit: AlamyCopy linkCopiedFT: Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamPeep!That’s full-time at Chelsea!!!Copy linkCopied90+13 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamYellow cardTottenham ace Spence is booked for a late challenge on Madueke – this is the 10th booking of the match!Copy linkCopied90+8 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamYellow cardTottenham ace Porro booked for dissent as he yelled at the assistant asking for a corner-kick.The full-back is right as the ball hit Dewsbury-Hall last, but he still gets booked for his reaction.Porro’s Tottenham team-mate Johnson also gets booked.Copy linkCopied90+6 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamChelsea trying to slow down tempo as much as they can, especially when Sanchez has the ball in his hands.Tottenham just can’t create dangers, and time is seriously running out!Copy linkCopied90+3 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamTempo has slowed down, and it shouldn’t as Tottenham need the equaliser.Chelsea, on the other hand, are protecting their lead.Copy linkCopied90 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamSubstitutionChelsea boss Maresca makes a double switch as Fernandez and Palmer make way for Tosin and Dewsbury-Hall.Copy linkCopied90 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamAnd we got 12 minute sof stoppage time to go!Told you…Copy linkCopied89 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamWhat a chance!Tottenham come extremely close to an equaliser but are denied by a stunnijng save from Sanchez!Johnson plays a low cross from the right and finds Son who tries a sliding shot that the Chelsea keeper saves with a lunge to his right – huge save!Copy linkCopied88 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamThere was a VAR check, I think it was over a potential red card.Udogie tried to clear the ball from Fernandez in the air and VAR probably thought the Tottenham ace came too hard.But nothing there.Copy linkCopied87 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamSubstitutionAnother double change from Tottenham boss Postecoglou as Tel and Porro replace Maddison and Van de Ven, who was limping in the last few minutes.The Aussie tactician taking no chances with his star defender that recently returned from injury.Copy linkCopied86 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamYellow cardChelsea star Palmer is booked for time wasting as he refused to return the ball for a Tottenham set-piece.Copy linkCopied83 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamVicario makes an acrobatic save to deny a cross from Palmer on the left to the incomign Madueke.Not sure that would have created a dangerous situation for Tottenham, though…Copy linkCopied82 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamSubstitutionChelsea boss Maresca brings on James for Jackson – it’s obvious the Italian tactician is looking to protect his lead.Copy linkCopied80 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamJust 10 more minutes to go at Stamford Bridge.But we are obviously getting a lot of stoppage time after both VAR checks…Copy linkCopied79 Chelsea 1-0 TottenhamYellow cardChelsea ace Neto is booked for sweeping Son’s leg just outside the area.Copy linkCopied More
