Bruno Guimaraes scores a spectacular goal on his full Newcastle debut as the Magpies come from behind to beat Southampton and stretch their unbeaten Premier League run to nine matches.
A man has just finished a mammoth year-long fundraising effort which saw him walking a minimum of 10 miles a day every day in 2021.
Bob Lang, 71, from South Hetton, County Durham, has completed more than 5,000 miles with his dog Barney to raise more than £7,000 for research into Motor Neurone Disease.

Hundreds of people turned out to see him finish his last day's walk in Seaham earlier.
Bob's daughter Lauren Conway said: "The pandemic's made people value things like walking and cherishing being with their family and friends.
"My dad's got many friends who call him 'Bob the living legend' and he's just a lovely guy and I'm so proud of him."

As the driver of the car was not there, the force said officers broke a window and realised the baby was in fact a doll fastened into a child seat in back seat.
The force said it was not "embarrassed or inconvenienced" by the action and that the car owner would be reimbursed for the damaged window.
A spokesperson said: "We’d always rather establish a crime has not occurred than miss an opportunity to safeguard a child.
"Sadly people are too often cautious to report concerns about a child and we’d like to take the opportunity to say if you believe a child is at risk, please call us on 101."
