Daniel Sturridge scored a 92nd-minute injury winner to break Welsh hearts and send England top of Group in a complete role reversal of the last minute goal that broke English hearts on Sunday. The world’s most expensive footballer, Gareth Bale, gave Chris Coleman's side the lead with a vicious swerving and dipping 30 yard free kick. Although he would have seen the shot late after it dipped past the wall, Joe Hart will feel he should have done better, only...

Sport News 24/7 By Richard de Winter @rgdewinter @TLE_Sport After the first round of matches at Euro 2016, it’s time for some considered, reasonable reaction.

Lots of the teams are a bit bobbins Michel Platini’s vote-seeking decision to enlarge the tournament to 24...
By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Summer is here, apparently, and to tie-in with Father’s Day this weekend, Novikov – one of Mayfair’s most popular restaurant establishments, perched upon the corner of Mayfair Place and the ultra-flashy Berkeley Street - will host the Mayfair Summer Market this weekend (Saturday June 18th and Sunday June 19th).
