Coventry City captain Kyle McFadzean scrambled in an injury-time winner as the Sky Blues sensationally came from behind to beat Nottingham Forest.

In their first game in the city since April 2019, City looked out for the count when Lyle Taylor's first-half strike fired Forest ahead.

But Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres lashed in an 81st-minute equaliser to spark a late turnaround for Coventry, who had spent the past two seasons ground-sharing at Birmingham City's St Andrew's home.

Then, six minutes into added time, Forest twice repelled goalbound efforts before big defender McFadzean fired through the crowd and Brice Samba could not prevent the ball squirming across the line.

Jason Kenny successfully defended his keirin title to become the first Briton to win seven Olympic gold medals.

Great Britain's most decorated athlete stunned the men's keirin field as he sprinted clear with three laps remaining to claim victory and his ninth Olympic medal overall.

After winning gold, the 33-year-old said he had "all but given up" before Sunday's final, but with October's World Track Cycling Championships around the corner and the next Olympics in Paris only three years away, he admitted he might have bought himself more time.

Saudi Arabian energy giant Aramco has seen its profits jump almost four times boosted by a rise in oil prices as demand recovers.

The company added that the easing of Covid restrictions, vaccinations, stimulus measures and the return of economic activity had supported results.

Crude oil prices have risen by more than 30% since the start of the year.

Aramco's chief executive also gave an upbeat assessment for the rest of 2021.

The firm, which is the world's biggest oil producer, said net income rose by 288% to $25.5bn (£18.4bn) for the second quarter.

However, the rise in profits was not welcomed by campaigners against climate change, who have described Aramco as the world's largest corporate greenhouse gas emitter.

According to some estimates, it is responsible for more than 4% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions since 1965.

On Monday, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in a major report that human activity was changing the climate in unprecedented and sometimes irreversible ways.

The head of the UN, Secretary General António Guterres, said the report "is a code red for humanity".

Animal rights protesters have staged a march to Downing Street in London in a bid to save Geronimo the alpaca.

Geronimo has twice tested positive for bovine tuberculosis, and the Department of Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) has ordered he be euthanised.

About 30 campaigners joined the demonstration from Defra's headquarters in Westminster to Number 10.

Owner Helen Macdonald, who imported Geronimo from New Zealand, believes the tests are returning false positives.

More than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to halt Geronimo's killing.

But Mr Johnson's spokesman insisted the order will not be reversed and said environment secretary George Eustice had "interrogated all the evidence".

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has condemned the fashion industry over its "huge" contribution to climate change, in a magazine interview.

Ms Thunberg told Vogue Scandinavia that fashion brands needed to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their products.

In a tweet, she accused some companies of "greenwash" ad campaigns designed to make their clothes appear sustainable.

Vogue Scandinavia featured Ms Thunberg, 18, on the cover of its first issue.

In the interview, Mr Thunberg said she last bought a new item of clothing three years ago and "it was second-hand".

"I just borrow things from people I know," Ms Thunberg said.

On Sunday she tweeted a picture of Vogue Scandinavia's front cover, which showed her wearing an oversized trench coat while petting a horse in a forest.

Baroness Dido Harding, who ran the government's Covid-19 test-and-trace programme in England, will step down from her NHS role in October.

The Conservative peer recently applied to be the new boss of NHS England, but the job went to Amanda Pritchard.

The testing and contact tracing scheme has been criticised repeatedly during the pandemic.

But the government has always defended the system, saying it helped curb the spread of the virus.

Baroness Harding became chair of NHS Improvement in October 2017, before being chosen to head up Test and Trace - a role she stepped back from in April.

Jonathan Huber (December 16, 1979 – December 26, 2020) was an American professional wrestler and actor. He is best known for his tenure in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Luke Harper (later simply Harper) from 2012 to 2019, and All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he performed under the ring name Mr. Brodie Lee in 2020.

For most of his WWE career, he was closely associated with Wyatt Family members Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan. The Wyatt Family won the NXT Tag Team Championship and the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. The team of Harper and Rowan, also known as The Bludgeon Brothers in one of their later tag team runs, went on to hold the SmackDown Tag Team Championship once more. During a brief run as a singles competitor, Harper became a one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion. He departed WWE in December 2019 and subsequently made his AEW debut in March 2020 as Mr. Brodie Lee, revealing himself to be "The Exalted One" (the previously anonymous leader of The Dark Order) and winning the AEW TNT Championship in August of that year.

Having been hospitalized for an undisclosed lung issue in late October 2020, Huber died two months later on December 26 at the age of 41. The official cause of death was later revealed to be idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a rare condition which causes lung tissue to become irreversibly thickened and stiff.

Andy Robertson will miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League season after a scan revealed ankle ligament damage.

The Scotland left-back, 27, was helped off during Liverpool's 1-1 friendly draw with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday after going over on his right ankle shortly before half-time.

Robertson left hospital on crutches and in a protective boot on Monday.

"Scan suggests nothing too major but there's some ligament damage which will need to mend," he said on Twitter.

"I will be grafting every day so I can help the team again sooner rather than later."

Liverpool have yet to confirm the extent of the damage and recovery time.

Southampton have had a bid accepted for Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong.

Armstrong, 24, is set to have a medical with the Saints on Tuesday after the bid, which could be worth more than £20m with add-ons, was accepted.

He scored 28 goals in 40 Championship games in 2020-21, the second-highest figure in the division last season.

Southampton are in need of a striker after selling 29-year-old England international Danny Ings to Aston Villa for £25m earlier this month.

Alpacas communicate through body language. The most common is spitting when they are in distress, fearful, or mean to show dominance. Male alpacas are more aggressive than females, and tend to establish dominance of their herd group. In some cases, alpha males will immobilize the head and neck of a weaker or challenging male in order to show their strength and dominance.

The alpaca's three-chambered stomachs allow for extremely efficient digestion. There are no viable seeds in the maaaanure, because alpacas prefer to only eat tender plant leaves, and will not consume thick plant stems; therefore, alpaca maaaaanure does not need composting to enrich pastures or ornamental landscaping. Nail and teeth trimming are needed every six to twelve months, along with annual shearing.

British holidaymakers could be paying 20 times more than the 'fair' price for PCR Covid tests, a top scientist has claimed.

A price in the region of £20 would be reasonable for the swabs according to Professor Stephen Bustin, a world-renowned expert on PCR at Anglia Ruskin University.

But the most expensive test listed on the Government's website of approved providers costs £400. On average, British travellers have to fork out £92 per test.
