Women’s World Cup 2023 LIVE: New Zealand and Norway target knockouts in Group A finale
It’s crunch time at the Women’s World Cup as co-hosts New Zealand battle for a place in the last 16 on the final round of fixtures in Group A. The Football Ferns will qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first team if they beat Switzerland, but a draw may also be enough if Norway defeat the Philippines. Norway come into the final day bottom of Group A after a tumultuous campaign so far, and they must beat the Philippines to have any chance of reaching the knockout stages, while hoping results elsewhere go their way. Hege Riise, who controversially dropped Caroline Graham Hansen for the 0-0 draw against Switzerland, will be without star forward Ada Hegerberg due to a groin injury. Germany will look to make two wins out of two in Group H as the two-time World Cup winners take on Colombia, while Morocco and South Korea go in search of their first points.

On this day in 2014: Romelu Lukaku joins Everton for club record £28million
Everton signed Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea for a club record £28million on this day in 2014. The move came after a successful loan spell at Goodison Park the previous season in which the forward scored 16 goals in 33 appearances and helped the club finish fifth in the Premier League. The then 21-year-old, who had also spent an impressive year on loan at West Brom since joining Chelsea from Anderlecht for £18million in 2011, signed a five-year contract with the Toffees. “I decided very quickly I wanted to come back here because it was a good step for me,” said Lukaku. “This is the place I belong. “I’m 21, I need to be playing in a good team. I needed to be in a place that felt right.” The fee paid by Everton shattered their previous club record of £15million for Marouane Fellaini in 2008. Manager Roberto Martinez said: “It is not just one of those important days for the season, but it is a very significant day in the history of our football club. “It is fair to say Romelu was our number one target to bring in and the pursuit was relentless, but it had to be a record transfer and it is worth every single penny and effort we put behind it.” Lukaku spent a further three years with Everton, taking his overall tally across two spells at the club to 87 goals in 166 appearances, before joining Manchester United for £75million. He later moved to Inter Milan and then back to Chelsea. He is now back with the Blues after spending last season on loan at Inter.
