Leeds United gave champions Liverpool an almighty scare on their return to the Premier League only to suffer a late defeat - but boss Marcelo Bielsa refused to blame record signing Rodrigo for conceding the penalty that led to Mo Salah’s winner in a 4-3 thriller. On three occasions Leeds had recovered to draw level and they looked like taking a deserved point with only two minutes remaining when substitute Rodrigo dangled a leg and tripped Fabinho, allowing Salah to complete his hat-trick with a second from the penalty spot. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for the visitors after a game in which both sides had attacked brilliantly only to lose goals to individual errors. New signing Rodrigo gave away a penalty two minutes from time to allow Liverpool to win Marcelo Bielsa refused to blame the £27m signing for the spirited 4-3 defeat against the Reds And it was the clumsy challenge of Spain striker Rodrigo that proved decisive. Bielsa, though, said the defeat should not be

Tens of thousands of 18-year-olds could unknowingly be entitled to a payout from a child trust fund set up on their behalf.  The funds were launched 15 years ago with every child born between September 1, 2002 and January 31, 2011 given a helping hand from the Government in the form of a voucher worth £250.  In some cases a further top-up payment of £250 was made if the child was born between September 1, 2009 and July 31, 2010. Poorer families received £500 in each case.  Helping hand: Many funds will now be maturing without the account holder knowing they are eligible to receive the proceeds  Though many parents added to the new-style savings accounts, others did not use the voucher. The Government responded by setting up a stakeholder account on the child's behalf. Many of these funds will now be maturing without the account holder knowing they are eligible to receive the proceeds.  This is especially true for those who have moved home in the past 15 years and so have not receiv

A first-round victory in London's High Court may open the floodgates to billions of dollars' worth of claims against Lebanon's crisis-torn banking system.  Lawyers acting for Bilal Khalifeh, a UK resident with Lebanese nationality, persuaded the court that it has jurisdiction over Blom Bank of Beirut.  Blom is one of several Lebanese banks that have reacted to hyper-inflation by imposing what amount to exchange controls to prevent cash fleeing the country.  Victory: Lawyers acting for Bilal Khalifeh, a UK resident with Lebanese nationality, persuaded the court that it has jurisdiction over Blom Bank of Beirut The legal team of Khalifeh, who has $1.44million (£1.1million) in Blom, argued that European Union consumer law gives courts anywhere in the bloc – and also in the UK, where the law is currently still in force – the right to hear cases such as this.  Blom's lawyers had argued the case should be heard in Lebanon, not London, and may appeal.  If the final outcome is

A British start-up that lets car owners charge their passengers for rides is helping the drive to get commuters back to work.  Skoot – launched by entrepreneur Greg Gormley this month – connects drivers with friends, family and workmates needing a lift.  Each car journey costs 57p per mile including 12p commission for Skoot. The charge is split between the passengers.  Gormley, 50, founded Skoot after his teenage daughter started driving friends around and he realised there was a huge demand for cheap and safe rides.  He said Skoot costs passengers about a third of the price of UberX. Gormley is aiming to eventually replicate the size of Uber's business.  Car owners register by uploading their driving licence to the Skoot app, which checks that vehicles are taxed and have an MoT. It then links the driver through social media to friends who have their mobile number. Friends post details of their pick-up point when they want a lift.  From next month, Skoot drivers will be able to run

Hedge funds have been caught out by Royal Mail's share price rally after the company surprised the market with its performance during the pandemic.  Short-sellers were forced to slash bets against the company's share price after the postal service revealed robust parcel deliveries. The shares have also been buoyed by speculation of a break-up.  Royal Mail shares surged 25 per cent on Tuesday when it said it had delivered 177million more parcels in the UK in the five months to the end of August than in the same period last year – a rise of 34 per cent. That was driven by a surge in online shopping during lockdown when many British stores were shut. Letter volumes were down as expected with many offices shut.  Caught out: Short-sellers were forced to slash bets against the company's share price after the postal service revealed robust parcel deliveries Royal Mail's rally has squeezed out hedge funds betting against its share price using 'short' contracts – where t

Car sales will not recover to pre-crisis levels until the middle of this decade, according to credit ratings giant Moody's. In a new report it said the 27 per cent drop in worldwide car sales in the first half of this year had 'bottomed out' and it expected a sharp rise in 2021.  But it said the severity of the fall would mean that the pace of recovery towards peaks seen before the pandemic – when 95million vehicles a year were sold globally – would be only moderate after that.  Downturn: 'Governments' efforts to support the industry have so far been limited 'The rise in shipments will slow in 2023 and the recovery length, with 2018-19 sales levels unlikely to be recaptured until about 2025,' it said.  'Governments' efforts to support the industry have so far been limited, and we do not expect that to change substantially.  'This is a sharp contrast to numerous programmes to support or bail out automakers during the 2008-9 crisis.'  While car

Ocado sales could exceed £2billion for the first time this year after customers flocked to order food from its new partner Marks & Spencer.  Credit Suisse forecasts that the grocery delivery giant has increased sales by two thirds in the past three months to reach more than £600million.  It said this could surprise some in the City who had raised concerns about its ability to cope with high levels of demand.  Driving force: Ocado struggled to keep pace with orders during lockdown, when sales increased 44 per cent Ocado struggled to keep pace with orders during lockdown, when sales increased 44 per cent, and it appeared be facing similar issues after the M&S launch.  But analysts at the Swiss bank said it had addressed some of its 'capacity concerns'.  Its shares have doubled in value from £10.77 in early March to £22.66, valuing the business at £17billion.  But the bank warned that the shares could now be overvalued because investors are 'overestimating' the num

President Trump has vented his fury following news that more than 15 phones belonging to the investigative team of then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller were wiped before they were handed over to the Justice Department to be examined for proof of potential bias.  In a string of tweets sent out Saturday morning, the Commander-in-chief threatened that 'a big price must be paid' for those specific actions and for the Mueller investigation more broadly.  He also accused left-wing operatives of a history of cover-ups, referencing the thousands of emails allegedly wiped from Hillary Clinton's server while she was working as Secretary of State.  In an initial tweet, Trump raged: 'ALERT! So now we find out that the entire Mueller 'hit squad' illegally wiped their phones clean just prior to the investigation of them, all using the same really dumb reason for this 'accident', just like Crooked Hillary smashing her phones with a hammer, & DELETING HER EMAILS!'

Midfielder Aster Vranckx will not want to watch his miss again for KV Mechelen against Oostende in the Belgian Pro League. The 17-year-old was left curled up in a ball with his head in his hands following a very embarrassing blunder as his side looked sure to claim the opening goal of the match.  Following a poor clearance from an Oostende defender, the goalkeeper has to come off his line in order to punch the ball away from danger.  Midfielder Aster Vranckx will not want to watch his miss again for KV Mechelen The 17-year-old tripped up the ball less than two yards out from an open goal with no-one near However, the keeper fails to do so and the ball falls to an opposition attacker inside the box. He hits the ball first time towards an empty net under pressure and it bounces back off the cross bar to Vranckx. No more than two-yards from goal and no keeper or defender in sight, the Belgian U19 international has the easiest job in the world to put the ball in the back of the net. Instea

The Tour de France was heading 'behind closed doors' as Covid-19 infection rates rose across France, after local officials stepped in to ban fans from the key climbs on Sunday's mountain stage, to the summit of the Grand Colombier. Rapid rises in infection rates of Covid-19 are now threatening to ensure that the race will enter its final week, heavily closed off.  Spectators have also been banned from all starts and finishes, as the convoy enters three days in the so-called 'red zones' of greatest infection. Race organisers will reinforce restrictions on climbs situated in coronavirus 'red zones' 'Access will be prohibited,' an official statement read. 'No spectators, gatherings or demonstrations will therefore be allowed.'  Citing the 'rapid deterioration of the health situation,' the ban may well now be extended into all the mountain stages in the race's climactic week. Saturday's stage from Clermont Ferrand to Lyon had been
