Heckingbottom admits Preston came up short in loss
The Preston boss spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire after his side's 3-1 defeat at the hands of Wolves.
Analysis: Does defeat foreshadow struggles this season?
When the Crystal Palace players trudged off the pitch, Pierre Sage cut a deflated figure. Saturday afternoon had provided the Frenchman with a brutal introduction to life as a Premier League manager and to the fine margins that can decide games. On another day, perhaps one where Ismaila Sarr was available for selection, it might have been Palace who were dancing and celebrating their way back to the dressing room.

Analysis: Tigers show tenacity and talent
Since Hull were relegated from the Premier League in 2017, they have been down to League One and back before beating Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship play-off final to seal promotion last season. Slater, who joined the club initially on loan from Sheffield United in League One - and only cost £50,000 when he signed permanently - swung in a ball for Mendy - a £20m-plus purchase from Rayo Vallecano - to power in a header past Lammens. Sergej Jakirovic, the first manager in the Premier League from Bosnia-Herzegovina, will not let his Tigers get too carried away after being written off as relegation candidates by many on the eve of the campaign.
'Tired' start costs Ireland in World Cup defeat by Scots
Ireland coach Gareth Grundie describes the performance in the 2-1 defeat by Scotland as "not to the standard that we'd set ourselves". With an opportunity to take a big step towards a top ten finish in the World Cup with a win against a side ranked four places below them in the world rankings, Ireland produced their worst performance of the tournament. It was way below the level they’d shown when pushing the third best side in the world, Belgium, to the brink of elimination in the Pool stages. S
Arsenal 3-0 Coventry
Rachel: The most confident football I have seen from this Arsenal team for many years. Vince: Odegaard and Havertz look like new signings, exuding energy and grit that were missing when they were nursing injuries.

After 25 years
The kid in a sweet shop, or not being able to sleep on Christmas Eve, is genuinely how gnarly old me feels about the Sky Blues being back in the Premier League after 25 long years away! The landscape, particularly financially, has changed enormously in the intervening quarter of a century, which is why it's refreshing – and slightly surprising – to see the owner Doug King sanction spending of – by all accounts – more than £120m of their £200m-plus windfall on enhancing last season's Championship-winning squad. Frank Lampard was vibrant and positive at his pre-match media conference, while at the same time acknowledging that their front foot, attacking philosophy, which yielded 95 points and 97 goals last season, might have to be tempered, particularly at places like Arsenal.
'Great team performance' from Hearts but defensive concerns remain
