This week’s roundup also features Tour Championship magic, Paralympic power and Kelly Holmes among sporting doubles
1) Ted Dexter, the former England cricket captain, has died at the age of 86. “Lord Ted” was inducted into the ICC hall of fame earlier this summer: here’s their video tribute. And here’s some archive footage of Dexter batting alongside Colin Cowdrey against New Zealand, and hitting a silky 70 against the Windies at Lord’s in 1963 – plus a later clip of the captain reflecting on one of the greatest ever Test matches.
2) Romelu Lukaku fired in a second-debut goal for Chelsea at Arsenal last weekend although the £97.5m man may find Liverpool trickier opponents on Saturday. Lukaku has only managed one goal at Anfield – in victory for West Brom in 2013 – while Mohamed Salah’s vast collection of strikes includes this bullet against Chelsea in 2019. Plenty of other memorable strikes to enjoy too in this montage of classic Liverpool-Chelsea goals. Here’s Luis García’s infamous “ghost goal” from the 2005 Champions League semi-final. But was it any more over the line than Andy Carroll’s late header when Chelsea beat the Reds in the 2011 FA Cup final?
