Sweden beat rivals Norway at Women's Euro 2025
Sweden should have doubled their lead 10 minutes later when Madelen Janogy headed Hanna Lundkvist's pinpoint cross narrowly wide, while moments before Stina Blackstenius was denied by Frederikke Thogersen's brilliant goalline clearance.
Peter Gerhardsson's team are now unbeaten in 13 games after a second straight win over the Danes, with Sweden running out emphatic 6-1 winners in the Nations League last month.
Sweden kept a tight handle on Denmark's skipper Pernille Harder, although she did smash an effort off the crossbar with nine minutes remaining.
The Bayern Munich forward was also involved when VAR decided not to award a penalty to Denmark in the opening minutes for a potential handball by Madelen Janogy, who was marking Parder.

Germany captain Gwinn to miss rest of Euro 2025 with injury
"The captain of the German women's national team suffered an ligament injury in her left knee in the team's opening match against Poland on Friday," said the DFB in a statement on their website. "She (Gwinn) is expected to be out for several weeks." The full-back left the pitch in St Gallen after 40 minutes following a defensive challenge against Poland's Ewa Pajor. She initially tried to retake the field before leaving in tears, embraced by team-mate Lea Schueller -- one of two second-half goalscorers for the Euro 2022 runners-up as they won 2-0. Gwinn, 26, has already ruptured cruciate ligaments in both knees, with the second ACL injury causing her to miss the World Cup two years ago. Germany, bronze medallists at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, are one of the favourites for the European Championship, alongside holders England and world champions Spain.

Verstappen shades Piastri for pole at Silverstone
McLaren's championship leader Oscar Piastri will start alongside the Dutchman on the front row of Sunday's race. Piastri's teammate Lando Norris starts on the second row with the Mercedes of George Russell for company. Piastri took provisional pole until Verstappen produced a perfect final flying lap to front the grid by only a tenth of a second from the Australian. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc made it an all Ferrari third row. "It was tricky out there with the wind, it was all shifting around a bit and around here with these cars, it is extremely sensitive to it," said four-time former world champion Verstappen. "This is a proper track, when you have to go flat out you have to be super committed. "We are quite quick on the straight, we have to wait and see what tomorrow will do but I am happy -- it is a big boost for the team and excited to go racing tomorrow," the 27-year-old added.

Man City defender Walker joins Burnley
The England international, 35, has made 410 appearances in the Premier League and won the competition six times with City, as well as the Champions League. He spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Serie A side AC Milan, who did not exercise their right to buy him. Walker's contract at City, whom he joined in 2017, was due to expire at the end of the 2025/26 season. "I'm delighted to be here," the right-back said in a Burnley statement on Saturday. "When I spoke to (manager) Scott Parker and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at. "He's done an amazing job here, guiding the club back to the Premier League with a 100-point haul, and now we're looking forward, together, at being back in the greatest league in the world." Walker, capped 96 times by England, was not part of City's squad for the Club World Cup and another move had been anticipated. The deal reunites reunite Walker with Parker, the Burnley boss who was a teammate at Tottenham between 2011 and 2013.
