A sad day indeed

Ollie Watkins' devastating hat-trick helped ruthless Aston Villa mark their return to European football with a first-leg Europa Conference League play-off demolition of Hibernian.

Hibs hero John McGinn's Easter Road homecoming dominated much of the pre-match build-up, but England striker Watkins will rightly grab the headlines after a phenomenal display at a sell-out Easter Road.

Following a bright start, the Scottish Premiership side could not deal with their clinical Premier League visitors upping the ante as Watkins glanced in a sublime header before nodding in a second at the back post.

Leon Bailey then powered in a close-range header of his own to put Villa - regarded as tournament favourites by many - in complete control at the break in their first European game in 13 years.

Watkins thought the offside flag had denied him a treble just after the interval, but the VAR reviewed his first-time finish past David Marshall, with Douglas Luiz's penalty sealing a record-equalling European win for Unai Emery's side.

The biggest issue for me is arteta is forcing havertz into the LCM area when the area has been clogged with no avenues for efficient build up.

England lost to Fiji for the first time ever and slumped to a fifth defeat in six games as their Rugby World Cup preparations ended with another blow.

The Pacific Islanders scored three second-half tries at Twickenham as England's fragile defence struggled to contend with their power.

England salvaged hope late on when Joe Marchant's try and George Ford's conversion brought them within a point.

But Selestino Ravutaumada set up Simione Kuruvoli to seal victory.

The day began with a sense of optimism for England as Courtney Lawes led out the hosts to mark his 100th cap.

By the time the full-time whistle sounded, the gloom around English rugby had deepened even further with their first defeat by a side from outside the Six Nations and the Rugby Championship, two weeks before the start of their World Cup campaign against Argentina.

Legendary TV host Bob Barker has died at 99 as confirmed by his longtime publicist, Roger Neal.

He passed from natural causes in his longtime Hollywood Hills home.

'It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker, has left us,' Neal said in a statement, obtained by NBC News.

Barker's girlfriend Nancy Burnet, broke her silence to say that she is 'so proud of the trailblazing work' they 'did together to expose the cruelty to animals in the entertainment industry and including working to improve the plight of abused and exploited animals in the United States and internationally.'

'We were great friends over these 40 yrs. He will be missed,' his partner, 79, said in her own statement, obtained by People.

The star was the longtime host of the game show The Price Is Right, beginning his run in 1972.

The show, which had been on air since the 50s and was in decline, was revitalized by Barker, who was the face of the show until 2007.

Before that, Bob had taken over as host of Truth or Consequences in 1956.

The MC, born Robert William Barker, was born in Darrington, Washington, on December 12, 1923.

When he was 6-years-old he moved to Mission, South Dakota, to live on a Sioux Indian reservation with his mom, according to NBC.

The move came after Byron John Barker tragically died in a workplace accident.

His mother Matilda Kent Tarleton, who was a schoolteacher, relocated to Missouri after she remarried.

Near the end of World War II Bob served two years in the Navy.

He then went back to Missouri, where he attended Drury College and completed a degree in economics.

From there, Barker was hired at a Florida radio station.

Moving to Burbank, California In 1950, he helmed a radio program called The Bob Barker Show.

Six years later he Barker he became host of Truth or Consequences, keeping the gig for 18 years until the show ended.

He held multiple jobs in tandem, including a two-decade run as the host of the Miss Universe and Miss America pageants.

He was also presenter of the New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade for a long stretch beginning in 1969.

Barker was married once, to his high school sweetheart Dorothy Jo Gideon, from 1945 until her death in 1981.

He is survived by half-brother Kent Valandra, half-nephews Robert Valandra and Chip Valandra, and half-niece Vickie Valandra Kelly.

Throughout his career Bob was awarded 19 Daytime Emmys and received an Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.
