On International Women’s Day, Sky Sports’ lead WSL pundit Karen Carney provided the perfect way to link the Women’s Super League and the Premier League. “I always like to compare men’s and women’s football because it should all come together as one,” she told the Women’s Super League Special on Tuesday evening from 6pm on Sky Sports. “Millie Bright and Leah Williamson are like the Ruben Dias and Virgil van Dijk, who are always getting the Player of the Year Award in the men’s teams.” As Manchester City and Liverpool tussle for one of the biggest prizes in the men’s game, here is a healthy reminder that the WSL has an equally exciting title race this season. Arsenal currently lead the way but the Gunners’ eight-point lead at the top will be undone if Chelsea win all of their three games in hand. Inside the WSL Tuesday 8th March 6:00pm While both sides have impressed WSL audiences with their attacking play, it’s their rock-hard defences that have put the two London rivals

• Why it doesn’t make sense for Minnesota to trade for Shea Weber ‘s contract • Is Semyon Varlamov available from the Islanders? • Who will be Owen Power’s defence partner in Buffalo? Nick Shore returned to Siberia after the Beijing Olympics’ closing ceremony, readying for the KHL playoffs. The 29-year-old centre led Novosibirsk Sibir with 26 points in 49 games, the team finishing the shortened regular season sixth in the Eastern Conference.  Days later, when Russia invaded Ukraine, Shore had a decision to make.  “To be honest, I went back and forth quite a few times,” Shore said Sunday from Denver, where he returned at the end of last week.  “There’s a lot of emotions running through your head. Definitely a few sleepless nights. It’s a 14-hour time difference, so when I’m trying to go to sleep, you have friends and family — pretty much everyone you know — reaching out, seeing what’s going on, seeing if you’re okay. There were a couple of tough conversations when I was deciding

TORONTO – The Toronto Maple Leafs have 99 problems and Auston Matthews might just outscore each one. “He’s the best player in the league,” Michael Bunting said. This was minutes after the heroic comeback had been completed, and the hats rained down, and the flaws got drowned out by the arena’s roar. “The best player, by far.” Matthews and two his perfectly complementary wingers — Mitch Marner welcomes nickname suggestions for the hottest line in hockey — are dragging the Toronto Maple Leafs through the dog days of winter. Through a key injury, some alarming defensive trends, and a prolonged bout of the yips in net. And they did so again Tuesday in a roller-coaster 6-4 victory over the lottery-bound Seattle Kraken that may have been the Leafiest Leaf game these Leafs have ever Leafed. Leap to an early 3-1 lead. Seemingly have the outcome in control. Hit snooze and fall behind 4-3. Throw a few superstars over the board late, capes a-flying, and let them save the night. “It’s no

Marcus Rashford is suffering from his first major confidence at crisis at Manchester United but the prospect of him leaving Old Trafford cannot be entertained by a club in even greater turmoil, says Paul Merson. With Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani out injured, Anthony Martial on loan at Sevilla, and Mason Greenwood unavailable, Ralf Rangnick left Rashford on the bench for Sunday’s Manchester derby , a decision described as the “ultimate putdown” by Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville. “That’s got to be the ultimate put down for Marcus Rashford today,” former United captain Neville said. “The four other centre-forwards he started the season with are not here and he still can’t get into the side. It tells you where Rashford is at, where Rangnick thinks he is at.” Trailing 2-1 and chasing the game, United turned to Rashford for the final 26 minutes at the Etihad but he underscored his struggle for form this season with an uninspiring performance as City inflicted a sobering 4-1 defe

Arteta’s warning for in-form Arsenal Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Arsenal’s win against Watford Arsenal moved up to fourth with their 3-2 win over Watford at Vicarage Road and there seems little danger of complacency creeping in under Mikel Arteta. The Arsenal manager cut a frustrated figure on the touchline for much of the encounter – even berating his players immediately after they had scored their second goal – and later used the opening section of his post-match press conference to chastise their defensive display. “We were really good going forward,” he said. “We had the right organisation and energy to do it and we scored three magnificent goals, but we didn’t have the same energy and commitment defensively,” he said. “That’s why we suffered.” And suffer they did. All three of their goals were beautifully worked, featuring slick passing exchanges reminiscent of Arsenal’s best sides under Arsene Wenger, bu
