Ademola Lookman was the hero for Atalanta as his hat-trick secured a 3-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in Dublin on Wednesday, ending the Italian side’s 61-year wait for a major trophy. Lookman, who revived his career in Italy after struggling in the English Premier League, scored twice in the first 26 minutes to put Atalanta in control. His first came from a well-worked move down the right, with Davide Zappacosta given too much space to pick out the striker, who applied a composed finish. The Nigerian forward then skipped past a defender and curled a beautiful right-footed shot into the bottom corner from outside the box to double the lead. Atalanta was in dreamland, and Leverkusen looked shell-shocked.   Ademola Lookman celebrates scoring his and Atalanta’s third goal to complete his hat-trick.

The consumption of dog meat has recently sparked public interest in Vietnam, with a restaurant in Hoi An closing down and a slaughterhouse in the north ceasing operations. This has led to a larger discussion about cultural differences in food choices and the role of tradition, religion, and availability in shaping these preferences. While some may view dogs as beloved pets, it is important to recognize that different cultures have varying perspectives on animals. For example, bear paw soup is considered a delicacy in many Asian and European countries, and dishes like ‘civet de chevreuil’ (venison) and ‘lapin a la moutarde’ (rabbit cooked in mustard) are popular in European cuisines. Similarly, rabbits, which are adored as domestic pets worldwide, are also consumed as food in many places. The author questions the Western perspective on fish, noting the oddity of diners requesting the removal of the head before plating. In contrast, some cultures relish dishes like grilled pig’s rectum...

Manchester City moved to the summit of the Premier League with a 4-0 victory over Fulham, as Arsenal slipped up in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. City knew a win would take them top, at least temporarily, and they did just that with a dominant display at Craven Cottage. Josko Gvardiol opened the scoring before Phil Foden, Gvardiol again, and Julian Alvarez sealed the win. That result piled the pressure on Arsenal, who knew they had to match City’s result to stay top. However, they could only manage a draw at home to Newcastle, with Sean Longstaff’s strike cancelling out Joel Veltman’s opener for the visitors. At the other end of the table, Burnley’s relegation was confirmed after a 2-1 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur. Jacob Bruun Larsen had given Burnley the lead, but Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven turned the game around for Spurs. Luton Town also face an uphill battle to avoid the drop after a 3-1 defeat at West Ham United. Albert Sambi Lokonga had given Luton an early lead,...
