Barnet move closer to promotion

The Bees notched their 25th league win of the campaign, extending their lead at the top to 12 points ahead of York's clash with third-placed Forest Green later on Saturday.

Ndlovu’s decisive moment came in the third minute of added time, his low strike finally breaching the resistance of Dagenham goalkeeper Louis Jones, who had produced a string of fine saves throughout the match.

Jones had kept the visitors in contention with several outstanding stops, frustrating Barnet for much of the game. Callum Stead came close on multiple occasions, but the breakthrough remained elusive until Ndlovu's late intervention.

The defeat was a cruel blow for Dagenham, who looked set to claim a valuable point in their fight against relegation, only to be undone in the dying moments.

Gig Review: Jack White

Jack White performed his 2024 solo album No Name in a barnstorming gig.  The former White Stripe frontman is still the real deal. Author - Josh D Dressed all in black and leather with a mop of jet black curls, he looked his early White Stripes more than he has in a long while.  White lets the music speak for itself for much of the night, powering through his own back catalogue alongside covers of The Stooges and blues legend Robert Johnson. He weaves in eight White Stripes tracks and two from The Raconteurs, whose drummer, Patrick Keeler, is part of his current band. There’s even a moment for his supergroup, The Dead Weather, featuring a back-and-forth between White and keyboardist Bobby Emmett—along with one of those slightly awkward exchanges in the pit.

An important win for Chelsea as they aim to secure Champions League qualification  Chelsea climbed back into the Premier League’s top four with a hard-fought win over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of a second-half strike from Marc Cucurella. Author - Lauren W The Spanish left-back netted his fifth goal of the season, and his second in as many league games, after finding the net after scoring against Southampton last time out. His decisive moment came on the hour mark, when he unleashed a left-footed effort from 25 yards that flew past Leicester keeper Mads Hermansen.

They squandered a golden opportunity midway through the first half when Cole Palmer saw his penalty saved by Hermansen, after Jadon Sancho was tripped in the box by Victor Kristiansen. It was Palmer’s first failure from the spot after converting all 12 of his previous penalties, extending his run without...
