Another day at Melwood, another awkward conversation with Brendan Rodgers for Raheem Sterling. This time, rather than a chat about a contract spurned it will be a noxious but legal substance once tried and tested by our own Prince Harry that will be under discussion. If Sterling has any sense, he won’t use the distinguished list of those who have previously tried nitrous oxide as an attempt at mitigation. Once again the 20-year-old Liverpool forward has been rather stupid. For Sterling the life lessons are arriving thick and fast. What will perhaps stand rather more impressively in his favour is some of the football Sterling produced in this rather important win for Liverpool. Raheem Sterling wheels away in celebration after scoring Liverpool's opener in the first half at Anfield . LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Mignolet 7; Johnson 6, Lovren 5, Can 6.5, Moreno 6; Henderson 7, Allen 6.5, Lucas 7; Ibe 6 (Borini 58, 6), Coutinho 7.5 , Sterling 7 (Lambert 89). Subs not used: Jones, Toure, Manquillo, Brannagan, Markovic. Goals: Sterling 9, Allen 71. Booked: Johnson, Moreno. NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-4-1-1): Krul 7; Taylor 6, Janmaat 5.5, Williamson 6, Anita 6; Obertan 5.5 (Gutierrez 67, 6), Colback 6.5, Cabella 6, Abeid 6.5 (Armstrong, 75); Sissoko 6; Perez 6.5 (Gouffran 86). Subs not used: Elliot, Sterry, Ameobi, Riviere. Booked: Sissoko. Sent off: Sissoko. Referee: Lee Mason. Man of the Match: Philippe Coutinho. BRENDAN RODGERS: 7. JOHN CARVER: 6.

There was a moment, just before the hour, when Sterling actually contributed one of the misses of the season. It was one of those he would probably have struggled to do again if he tried. Much earlier in the piece, however, when his team were desperate for a good start, Sterling scored the kind of goal that few can score. It is this that motivates Rodgers as he tries to navigate a way through the current difficulties of the contract negotiations. It is this, and other moments like it, that convince managers like Rodgers that players like Sterling are worth the trouble. For be assured, this was an important win for Liverpool and an important performance. Newcastle may be among the Barclays Premier League’s most compliant current opposition but Liverpool’s own football has been patchy recently. They have an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday and needed victory here to bring momentum and to take them to within four points of Manchester City, the team now occupying the final Champions League position. When the stakes are high, then, you need your best players and here, after some modest recent form of his own, Sterling pitched in early and emphatically. Both sets of players stand for a minute's silence to remember the 96 Liverpool fans who died in 1989 . The minute's silence was impeccably observed by both sets of fans before the match . Captain Jordan Henderson supplied the ammunition with a crossfield pass struck arrow straight to his team-mate over 40 yards. Sterling’s

Summary: Film leaked of Raheem Sterling inhaling nitrous oxide just a day after he was pictured smoking shisha . Sterling put Liverpool 1-0 up after just nine minutes at Anfield before missing easy chance in second half . Referee Lee Mason missed what pundit Gary Neville described as a 'blatant penalty' for Newcastle's Ayoze Perez . Welsh midfielder Joe Allen then scored his first goal at Anfield to put Liverpool 2-0 up after 70 minutes . France midfielder Moussa Sissoko sent off late on for two bookable offences . Result moves Liverpool up to within four points of Manchester City in fourth and is Newcastle's fifth defeat in a row .


'Floral perfumes can take years off a woman' Two things in life give me instant gratification: perfume and wine gums. But while one rots my teeth and piles on the pounds, the other - no matter how bad my hair day - makes me feel beautiful. I'm in good company. Cleopatra was known for her love of perfume, liberally applying lotus and rose oil to her upper lip. 'We know she made her own perfumes and would certainly have worn it to increase her powers of seduction,' says Mandy Aftel, perfume historian and author of Fragrant: The Secret Life Of Scent. 'She didn't solely rely on her looks. Cleopatra believed that smelling divine was the real key to a man's heart,' she says. And according to scientists, Cleopatra was right. Perfume really can make us more attractive. 'Humans are mammals and though we're highly evolved, we have inherited mating mechanisms from the animal kingdom. One of the factors that influences our partner choice is smell,' says Tim Jacob, emeritus professor at the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University. We react in an involuntary way to smell because our noses are connected to synapses in the unconscious part of the brain (the piriform cortex), which governs the subconscious mind. 'The power of the subconscious mind is extremely strong. If we like someone's smell, they become instantly more attractive to us, and vice versa,' says Roja Dove, master perfumer at Urban Retreat Perfumerie in Harrods. Small wonder, then, that perfumers spend vast amounts of time and money creating fragrances that evoke positive feelings of satisfaction and sensuality. And there are ingredients with a proven track record of evoking other strong subconscious reactions. Perfumers spend vast amounts of time and money creating fragrances that evoke positive feelings of satisfaction and sensuality . 'Vanilla, an ingredient in many perfumes, is a smell that's strongly associated with pleasure,' says Professor Jacob. 'Just think of confectionery and the feelings of happiness that go with traditional childhood treats.' Lavender, another common ingredient in perfume, has been shown to calm and soothe the mind, while citrus smells evoke images of health and cleanliness. So powerful is our unconscious reaction to smell that perfumers claim wearing certain scents will make a woman seem younger, more athletic or even slimmer than she actually is. So what are the perfect perfumes to make others think we're slim, sexy, sporty or sophisticated? Harrods' Roja Dove picks his favourites . . . FLIRT WITH FLORALS . Floral perfumes can take years off a woman, as long as the smell is subtle. However, if it's cloying or overpowering, the effect can be ageing. Anything that overwhelms our senses can begin to smell stale and musty, and these are scents that the unconscious mind associates with age. Vivacious yet subtle scents of peony, lily of the valley and orange blossom will evoke images of spring and youth. Perfumes such as Balenciaga's Florabotanica (£56, Debenhams) or Love Story from Chloe (£65, Debenhams) use floral notes that create an impression of youthful energy. They're flirty and fun, like actresses

Tim Sherwood has urged Aston Villa to man up as he labelled their clash with relegation rivals QPR the club's 'biggest game' for years. They host Rangers on Tuesday with Sherwood admitting he does not have the players to grind out results. Victory would move Villa five points clear of the Barclays Premier League drop zone but they will return to the bottom three if QPR, three points behind with a better goal difference, win. And Sherwood underlined the magnitude of the game ahead of the showdown. Tim Sherwood (from left to right), Les Ferdinand and Chris Ramsey during their time at White Hart Lane . Sherwood (right) sits on the bench with Tottenham Hotspur staff Ferdinand (centre) and Ramsey (left) Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor celebrates his goal by saluting Sherwood (right) and Ramsey (centre) 'I think this is the biggest game that a lot of these players have ever played for this football club,' he said, with Villa in 17th. 'This is without doubt the biggest game of the season for Villa and possibly one of the biggest in a number of years. 'This is the biggest (of my managerial career).' But the boss believes he must instil a different mentality into his players as he tries to keep them in the top flight. 'We've got different types of players, you look through QPR's side and they've got a lot of players who are men - with a lot of experience in there,' he said. 'We've got a few men in there - but we've got a lot of pretty much icing-on-the-cake players and I'm trying to get that mentality into them to forget about digging out results. It's not what we're cut out to do. 'I haven't identified many players who can't cope with the pressure, but you don't know until they get out there.' Sherwood is without Alan Hutton, Ashley Westwood and Scott Sinclair while Tom Cleverley, Kieran Richardson and Aly Cissokho are doubts. Sherwood faces his friend and former Tottenham assistant, QPR boss Chris Ramsey, for the first time since they both left Spurs last summer. Sherwood and Ramsey forged their friendship at Tottenham and remain close ahead of their showdown . The bond between the two remains strong even if Sherwood is blocking Ramsey's mobile phone calls for now . Sherwood hinted that if Ramsey's tenure at Loftus Road ends, then he would ask to bring him to Villa Park . Ramsey has admitted his job at Rangers could be under threat if they get relegated and, while he admitted Ramsey may prefer to be a manager, Sherwood left the door open for a reunion at Villa. He added: 'If there was ever an opportunity for me to work with him again I would do that. 'I would have to speak to the club about whether we could find a role for him here. 'Listen, I know I am biased - he has been good for me and I have been good for him. But he is up there with the very best coaches I have ever

Celebrities and dietitians have been promoting back-to-basic diets and warning us off processed foods for years - and the trend is now taking hold in the pet world. Three-and-a-half-year-old black labrador Baylie swapped sweet treats and processed dog food for a diet of free range raw meat, offal and bones in his quest to lose weight. His owners, Margaret and Patrick Evans from Leeds, say he's now 'a different dog' after losing a stone and a half in eight weeks through the doggy diet - the weight of four chihuahuas. Scroll down for video . Flab to fab: Baylie learnt where the doggy biscuit tin was and was even caught pilfering it, left, by his owners. But he's a much more lean machine, right, after starting his new weight loss programme . The plan was devised by Vicky Marshall, who runs a natural dog food company and realised that none of her 5,000 customers' dogs have weight problems. She worked out Baylie's weight and calculated special portions of carefully chosen lean meats in order for him to shed the pounds. She said: 'Dogs are carnivores - they have evolved to eat prey, such as mice, rabbits and deer. 'Their digestive system, which is very different to the human digestive system, is more than able to handle raw meat, offal and bones. Loving life: Owners Margaret and Patrick Evans say Baylie is 'a different dog' since losing a stone and a half on a new doggy diet of raw food. They believe his weight problems stem from rewards during training . 'In fact, they thrive on it and you need have no concerns over its suitability. 'We avoided beef and lamb and suggested lean raw meat like free range chicken, wild rabbit and turkey. 'Our treats are pure air-dried liver and dogs don't need very much to feel like they've had a treat. 'We also introduced a concept called Bone Sunday. We gave Baylie a beef knuckle bone to chew on all day and he didn't need anything else to eat. 'Because the bone marrow is so rich it's enough quantity wise. And the action of chewing is great exercise and a rewarding game. 'It makes sure he doesn't feel like he is on a diet and that food is still fun.' Baylie's owners believe his life-long weight problem stemmed from them giving him sweet treats to reward good behaviour at puppy training school. The treats continued into his adult life and he even learnt where they were kept and was spotted raiding the biscuit tin in the kitchen. His weight problem worsened as he started suffering from a joint problem called hip dysplasia affecting Labradors - and when he took a tumble while out on a walk he was left unable to move. Maragaret, 55, a car tyre production assistant said: 'We were encouraged to use biscuits as rewards but he was so good at everything we taught him we just had to carry on giving him treats. 'His weight just went on and on and on. 'But it got a lot

The police van in which Freddie Gray supposedly sustained his fatal injuries does not come with a bolt sticking out from the back door, Chevrolet has confirmed. Designs from the car maker show that the Chevrolet Express - the vehicle used by the Baltimore Police Department - is smooth on the inside of both cage doors. Chevrolet spokesman Michael Albano confirmed to Daily Mail Online that the standard issue Chevrolet Express Police Transport Van has bolts that are built into the door and don't stick out. Mr Albano said that law enforcement agencies are known to customise their own vehicles and that the Baltimore Police Department may have done so to their fleet. The development raises a number of questions about the official account put out by the force which emerged today in a report of its internal investigation into Gray's death. Scroll down for video . Standard-issue: Pictured above is the Chevrolet Express police van, the vehicle used by Baltimore Police to move around prisoners . No bolts? The design of the standard van does not seem to show anything for Gray to have hit his head on . Smooth: This photograph from earlier in the week shows a Baltimore Police version of the van, which also appears to have no bolts protruding, such as those referenced in a medical report on Gray's death . Inside: This is what the Baltimore van looks like inside - Gray was held in the right-hand side . According to the latest police press conference, these are the stops the van made transporting Freddie Gray . And if the Baltimore Police department has customized its vehicles in an unsafe way, they could open themselves up to lawsuits from civil liberties lawyers. In their report ABC News said that there was 'no evidence' Gray sustained a fatal spine injury during his arrest, which was caught on camera on a street side on April 12. Instead he supposedly broke his neck after falling head-first whilst being transported in one of the Baltimore Police vans, a Chevrolet Express. Gray's 'catastrophic' head injuries were consistent with hitting a bolt 'in the back door of the van', the report said. Fatal fall? The van is pictured above during a previously-undisclosed stop . Dead: Gray is pictured above being arrested by Baltimore officers on the day he severed his spine in custody . According to ABC's sources Gray was standing in the van and was bent over with his hand cuffed behind his back and his head pointing towards the back door. But a review of official diagrams of the Chevrolet Express Police Transport Van by Daily Mail Online raises a number of issues with this. The picture of the vehicle on the cargo specifications shows the two sets of bolts at the very top and very bottom of the door. This means that even if they had stuck out, Gray would have had to have either been thrown 5ft into the air or have his head right on the floor in order for him to have been hurt. The catalog

Summary: Medical examiner's report described how Gray may have injured neck . Theory claimed he fell forward while cuffed and hit his head on a bolt . But specifications for the Chevrolet Express van show no such bolt . Photographs of other Baltimore Police also contradict theory . Gray's spine was somehow severed while in police custody on April 12 .


Ronny Deila has admitted Celtic will enter the Champions League qualifiers minus defender Jason Denayer. The SPFL young player of the month for March, 19-year-old Denayer is wanted back at parent club Manchester City for a pre-season assessment. Keen to pursue a first-team breakthrough after making his international debut for Belgium last month, doubts over the future of Manuel Pellegrini may yet hand the Parkhead the chance of a second loan deal. Jason Denayer (left) is wanted back by Manchester City for pre-season to be assessed by their staff . But Deila admits that won’t happen in time for the first Champions League qualifier on July 16. ‘City want Jason back for pre-season to see what kind of level he is at and where he stands and get the group together and maybe he will be loaned out again or he will stay. That is up to Jason and the manager,’ Deila explained. ‘We will see what happens - but it is very hard just now. We will look for a central defender anyway, one maybe two.’ Ronny Deila confirmed that the defender would be missing for the Champions League qualifers in July . Denayer remains non-committal on the prospect of an extended loan deal and added: ‘I only try to focus my mind on what is happening at Celtic and try to do my best for them.

They are big and a bit different to what I have been used to but I have improved with every game.’ Denayer has been an instant hit at the club and formed a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk .

It may have been invented for students to use. But youngsters appear to be deserting Facebook in droves because it is now so popular with their parents – and grandparents. Almost a third of people aged 16-to-34 have deleted their accounts because they no longer see it as ‘cool’. The trend comes as increasing numbers of older users turn to the social network to stay in touch and share family pictures. Nearly 60 per cent of Britons aged over 55 now have a Facebook account, according to research. Facebook has even started running television adverts to entice the so-called ‘silver surfers’ to join. Now a survey of around 2,000 Britons has revealed that it is having the opposite effect on youngsters. ‘As parents are signing up, their children are logging off to maintain privacy,’ said Lord Jim Knight, chairman of online lobby group the Tinder Foundation. In the poll, a third of Facebook users are said to have blocked a family member so they can no longer see their account or do not receive automatic updates. The survey did not take account of the number of youngsters who have effectively blocked their family members by refusing to add them as a ‘Facebook friend’ in the first place. One in ten people aged 16 to 34 signed up to other platforms so they could remain ‘under the radar of their parents’. But whilst youngsters may be leaving Facebook, they are not giving up on social media altogether. More than half said they had joined Twitter, where only 13 per cent of ‘silver surfers’ said they have accounts. Meanwhile, about 40 per cent of youngsters use the picture-sharing website Instagram, according to the study commissioned by Halifax and carried out by Opinium Research. Logging off: Nearly a third of people aged 16-to-34 have deleted their facebook accounts because they no longer see it as ‘cool’ Around the same proportion use Snapchat, a social media platform which automatically deletes messages shortly after they are sent. The picture was very different among the over-55s. Just three percent have an Instagram account and even fewer – around one percent – use Snapchat. The way people use these different social platforms is also changing. Around a fifth of those aged 16 to 34 use their smartphones at family dinners, posing a threat to the precious mealtimes that used to be the cornerstone on family life. By comparison, just one percent of silver surfers use their smartphones during a meal with their offspring.

Summary: Parents and grandparents flocking to social media site . Almost 60% of Britons aged over 55 now have Facebook account . Many have left site while others block posts from family members .


Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has offered encouragement to a six-year-old fan he beat to the job. Charlie Pye, from Leamington Spa, applied for the Villa hotseat after Paul Lambert was sacked in February. The Villa fan wanted a chocolate bar as a win bonus and would have agreed terms for a signed claret and blue football, a WWE wrestling figure and some sweets. Sherwood wrote Charlie a letter congratulating him on his credentials, despite missing out on the job. Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood (centre) showed his softer side by replying to 6-year-old Charlie Pye . He wrote: 'From your letter it is clear to see that you would indeed be an ideal candidate for the job due to your knowledge of the game - and your very capable backroom staff, of course! 'Hopefully you're not too disappointed at missing out and I'm informed that I just managed to pip you to the post so you were very close to being offered the job. 'Our chief executive Tom Fox has informed me that the club would like your permission to keep the letter on file 'just in case' - although I'm hoping I will be successful at this great football club. The youngster applied for the role when Paul Lambert was sacked but was pipped to the post by Sherwood . 'I will certainly be aiming to make you and all the other supporters happy. 'In terms of your football career, I want to wish Norton Lindsey every success this season. Well done on being appointed captain. I was a captain during my own playing career - it's a special honour.' Sherwood has guided Villa six points above the relegation zone in the Barclays Premier League after Saturday's 1-0 win at former club Tottenham and taken them to Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool. Charlie had written to chief executive Tom Fox after Lambert was sacked with Villa in the relegation zone earlier this year. Pye is captain of Norton Lindsey and got a special message from Sherwood about being a captain . He wrote: 'I would appoint my mum and dad as assistant managers so they can drive me to the training ground each day. My mum is also very good at making bacon sandwiches for the players if that helps.' Charlie told the club's official site: 'I never expected a letter from the manager but I was absolutely delighted to get one. 'What he wrote was brilliant - it meant a lot to me. Even the stuff about congratulating me on being a captain was really special.' The 6-year-old would have appointed his parents as assistant managers if he had been offered the dream job .

Summary: Tim Sherwood took time to reply to Aston Villa fan Charlie Pye . The 6-year-old applied for the Villa job when Paul Lambert was sacked . The youngster wanted his mum and dad to be assistant managers . Sherwood admitted that he just pipped Pye to the post for the hotseat . CLICK HERE for all the latest Aston Villa news .


Munster have signed New Zealand international Francis Saili on a two-year deal. Utility back Saili, who made his All Blacks debut against Argentina in 2013, will move to the province later this year after the completion of his 2015 contractual commitments.

He said: 'I believe this is a fantastic opportunity for me and I am fortunate to move to a club held in such high regard, with values and traditions I can relate to from my time here in the Blues. 'This experience will stand to me as a player and I believe I can continue to improve and grow within the Munster set-up. 'As difficult as it is to leave the Blues I look forward to the exciting challenge ahead.'

Hollywood screen icon Lauren Bacall's carefully-collected personal mementos fetched $3.64 million on the auction block at Bonhams New York earlier this week. There were hundreds of items up for grabs at the two-day sale, which came to an end on Wednesday - including housewares, furniture, fine art, jewelry and clothing - and every single one of them found a buyer, a spokesperson for the auction house confirmed. Bacall, one of Hollywood's great golden age actresses, died in August aged 89 in her nine-room home overlooking New York's Central Park, which is also on the market for $26 million. Rest in peace: Lauren Bacall, pictured circa 1950, died of a stroke in New York last August at the age of 89 . Old school glamor: Bacall, pictured in her Manhattan apartment in 1969, bought the home for just $48,000 and it's currently on the market for $26 million . Among the most valuable items purchased during the auction were a hand-colored etching by naturalist John James Audubon American White Pelican, which fetched an impressive $173,000, three times more than was expected, Bonhams said in a statement. From the Humphrey Bogart years, before he died from cancer in 1957, was his black granite games table and a pair of silver candelabras from the couple's marital home in Los Angeles. The table brought in $26,250 - almost nine times the estimated value. Buyers also snapped up Albert Edward York's oil paintings Landscape with trees and A country fence together for $161,000, while another purchased a Henry Moore sculpture Three-Quarter Mother and Child on Round Base for $118,750, the auctioneers said. Other items included Indian miniatures, a Japanese portable brass tea set and a marble table inscribed with 'in the name of Allah' in Arabic calligraphy. A piece of history: This enamel, cultured pearl and diamond broach (R), by jewelry designer Elizabeth Gage, sold for $23,750. It was worn by Bacall at the premiere of Meet Joe Black in 1998 (L) Shine bright: Two 18-karat bracelets (R), one of which features diamonds, worn by Bacall when she starred in A Dozen Deadly Roses (L), sold for more than $30,000 each . And from Bacall's collection of precious gems and jewels, her Tiffany necklace sold for $52,500 and another 18-karat gold bracelet went for $50,000. Bacall's grand Central Park-facing apartment, which is currently on the market, spans approximately 100 feet and boats several bedrooms, a library and seven fireplaces. And while the sprawling Manhattan home is estimated to be worth an impressive $26 million, the husky-voiced actress bought the property, in the city's exclusive Dakota Building, for just $48,000 in 1961 and lived there with her three children for the rest of her life. The Dakota also counted John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono as residents, and it was outside that building on December 8, 1980, that Mark David Chapman shot the Beatles legend dead. Other neighbors of Bacall included Boris Karloff, Judy Holliday and Roberta Flack. In a 2011 Vanity Fair article, the apartment was described as 'cavernous', with a wood-trimmed parlor and huge windows

Summary: The items went under the hammer at Bonhams New York on March 31 and April 1 . Several pieces once belonging to Bacall's first husband Humphrey Bogart were included in the auction .


A reporter once described it one of the 'dirtiest, wildest, toughest neighborhoods anywhere', though the grime around New York City's Times Square has since been replaced with the shine of electric advertisements and thousands of tourists. But photos of the area's 'notorious' dive bar,Terminal, have been preserved by the bartender and photographer who served drinks to pimps, prostitutes and destitute New Yorkers floating around the Port Authority bus terminal. Sheldon Nadelman, 80, who worked at the bar from 1973 to 1982, would meet and photograph the women as they came in at eight in the morning for three shots of cognac before going out to walk the streets. Photos taken from behind the bar at Terminal Bar, a 41st Street and 8th Avenue watering hole open until 1982, show a side of Times Square that has disappeared in the glare of Coca Cola advertisements . Sheldon Nadelman, a young bartender who is now 80, would watch as prostitutes hid behind newsstands and trash cans to avoid being seen. Reflections in the bar windows show pictures of boxers hung on the walls . Terminal Bar, which was located on the block now occupied by the New York Times headquarters, saw an combination of people floating around the Port Authority bus terminal . Nadelman, whose thousands of photos have been digitized by his son Stefan, watched as pimps and prostitutes gathered outside of his bar . 'It was a zoo. You had every hustler, every pimp, every wino. They were all at Terminal Bar,' Nadelman told the Daily Mail Online by phone. His amateur work, which includes thousands of portraits from the period, often focused on the street trash can he could see from the bar, where a cross section of Times Square's hustlers and homeless stopped for a rest. Nadelman, who lived in Greenwich Village before leaving the city to raise his children, snapped genuine shots as sex workers hid behind newsstands to avoid police at the terminal across the street and watched as the lives of many who entered his bar slowly fall apart. 'The street eats them alive,' Nadelman said of his bar's clients, which included a combination of gay men, cross-dressers, actors and alcoholics all mixing together in a small patch of Midtown Manhattan not yet known for commercial glitz. The photographer said that women would come in to the bar early in the morning to get shots of cognac before going out to work the streets . The area around Times Square used to be known for violence and prostitution. Though there are still sex shops on 8th Avenue, grime in the area has been replaced with chain restaurants and tourist attractions . Nadelman's voyeuristic shots were often captured through the open door of his bar, allowing him to see a candid cross section of 1970s New York not available in project that took place over a shorter time period . Hundreds of photographs from the 1970s and early 1980s capture the mood and fashion of a New York in Midtown Manhattan that no longer exists . He would

Mouldy food was discovered in a restaurant by inspectors after a diner complained of finding dog faeces on the floor - leading to £15,000 in fines for the ‘dangerous’ owner. Council inspectors found a shocking state of hygiene at The Steer Inn in Wilberfoss, East Yorkshire - and owner David Crossfield later admitted 17 charges of breaching food safety regulations. Officers carried out inspections where they found food in the kitchen was mouldy and unfit for human consumption - and food was being served to the public that had exceeded its use by date. Shocking: Officers carried out inspections where they found food in the kitchen was mouldy (above) and unfit for human consumption - and food was being served to the public that had exceeded its use by date . In addition, raw meat was being prepared in direct contact with ready to eat salad items posing a serious risk of cross contamination, Beverley Magistrates’ Court was told. Inspectors - who first visited in January 2014 - also found kitchen equipment was in an unhygienic condition due to disrepair, and there was a failure to carry out regular disinfection and cleaning. Meanwhile food safety systems, monitoring checks and procedures were not in place - and food handlers were found to consistently demonstrate a lack of understanding of food safety issues. Crossfield, 52, of Elvington, North Yorkshire - whom magistrates branded ‘foolish’ - also admitted failing to comply with a hygiene improvement notice requiring food hygiene training for his staff. Mouldy food and dirty floor: Inspectors found kitchen equipment at The Steer Inn was in an unhygienic condition due to disrepair and there was a failure to carry out regular disinfection and cleaning . Crossfield said he was the sole director of The Steer Inn (Pocklington) Ltd and had admitted he had taken over the running of the premises with no knowledge of running a kitchen or a restaurant. He said he had been worked in pubs and bars ‘with no problems before’ and he had been ‘naive’ and had been led to believe the chef had the right qualifications relating to food hygiene. Crossfield told the court that The Steer Inn had ceased trading on New Year’s Eve 2014 and that he was in the process of liquidating the company, which had no assets. Chair of the bench Graham McDonald told him: ‘These were appalling offences. People could have become seriously ill or even died as a result of salmonella. East Yorkshire restaurant: The company was fined £8,500, plus costs of £1,392 and a victim surcharge of £120. Its owner was individually fined £2,750, as well as costs of £1,392 and a £120 victim surcharge . ‘Your naivety was dangerous and the fact you relied on your chef was extremely foolish.’ The company was fined £8,500, plus costs of £1,392 and a victim surcharge of £120. Crossfield was individually fined £2,750, as well as costs of £1,392 and a £120 victim surcharge. Paul Abbott, manager for public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: ‘The council’s food safety team had

Summary: East Yorkshire restaurant probed after diner reported seeing dog faeces . Out-of-date food served and there was a high cross-contamination risk . 'Foolish' owner David Crossfield, 52, and his business are fined £15,000 . Now-closed restaurant didn't carry out regular disinfection and cleaning .


Quiz question. Which player is the second-highest scorer in the country this season? Stand up and take a bow anyone who came up with Benik Afobe, who was one of Arsenal’s own before they loaned him to MK Dons and sold him to Wolves. Afobe is young, electric-paced and on 28 goals this season - one behind man-of-the-moment Harry Kane of Tottenham and England. Bakary Sako celebrates after scoring Wolves second goal in a 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest on Good Friday . Sako doubled Wolves' advantage from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Forest's Henri Lansbury . Nottingham Forest (4-1-4-1): Darlow 6.5; Mancienne 6.5, Wilson 6, Lascelles 6.5, Lichaj 7; Gardner 6; Burke 7 (Walker, 76), Lansbury 5.5, Osborn 5 (Paterson, 57, 6), Antonio 5.5 (Blackstock, 83); Akpom 6 . Subs not used: Fox, Vaughan, Hobbs, Evtimov . Goal: Blackstock 90+4 . Booked: Gardner, Lascelles . Wolves (4-4-2): Ikeme 6.5; Iorfa 7, Baath 7, Stearman 7.5, Golbourne 7; Sako 7, Price 6.5, McDonald 6.5, Henry 7 (van la Parra, 66, 5); Afobe 8 (Doherty, 83), Dicko 7.5 (Edwards, 66, 5.5) Subs not used: Doyle, Ebanks-Landell, Hause, Kuszczak. Goals: Afobe 46, Sako 72 . Booked: Price . Ref: Andy D’Urso 6 . Man of the match: Afobe . If he keeps this up, Afobe might even be able to inspire Wolves all the way into the Premier League. What a bargain for £2million, too. Having scored 19 times for MK, the 22-year-old striker has nine goals in 15 appearances for Kenny Jackett’s Wanderers. He has a goalscoring knack, beautifully illustrated 30 seconds into the second half when he collected the ball round the centre circle and started running. Back-tracking Forest defenders held off and held off until, boom, Afobe took a pot-shot and Karl Darlow retrieved the ball which had just avoided his finger tips. Suddenly a tight, strangely underwhelming, match, had a breakthrough and Wolves duly capitalised on it as Bakary Sako doubled the lead from the penalty spot. They are building up a head of steam as the Skybet Championship enters the final weeks with one defeat in nine. Jackett has steered his team from the blind side with remarkable efficiency. A trip across to the East Midlands could have been a very tricky encounter considering Forest’s resurgence under Dougie Freeman. The news that owner Fawaz al Hasawi wants Freedman to stay beyond the summer hardly comes as a surprise. More importantly, from the supporters’ point of view, the manager is making all the right noises about triggering his year’s option too. The Freedman effect is tangible at the City Ground, even if this turned out to be the first real blip. Henri Lansbury has been back to something like his best after a forgettable first chunk of the season so this was a step back for him, too. If anything illustrates BP and AP – before and after Stuart Pearce – then it is Lansbury’s match stats. Before Pearce’s sacking Lansbury had 10 yellow cards and five goals to his name. Since then he has picked up

Summary: Benik Afobe fired Wolves ahead on 46 minutes with a low right-footed shot . Bakary Sako doubled the visitors lead from the penalty spot on 72 minutes . Dexter Blackstock scored a late consolation for the hosts in injury time . Win moves Wolves on to 68 points with six games remaining .

Dindral later gave the footage to cops who were able to track down the suspect. 'It was the right thing to do,' Dindral told the Daily News. 'You don’t hit a child like that.' Local Tattoo artist Chris Danaher who works near the market said he could never fathom acting violently towards a child. 'I would never imagine treating a child like that,' Danaher told ABC. 'His wife or girlfriend or whatever was clearly pregnant. She had no regard to it. She picked up her son and left the store,' he added. Danher said sadly the child is too young to truly understand what is going on. 'It's terrible. That kid

Denial: Al Sharpton today slammed a report claiming he was banner from the funeral of Walter Scott . Al Sharpton has denied that the family of police shooting victim Walter Scott have barred him from attending his funeral because it would cause a 'circus' of media attention. The controversial preacher and civil rights campaigner said a report that the family wanted him gone to avoid 'another Ferguson type of circus' is 'bogus'. He also announced that he would head to North Charleston, South Carolina, to preach and attend a vigil on Sunday, the day after the funeral. Allegations that Scott's family wanted nothing to do with Sharpton were published by the New York Daily News. In response, Sharpton said: 'There has never been a discussion about me attending or participating in the funeral on Saturday, since everyone knows that [National Action Network’s] convention with thousands of delegates is happening in New York and doesn't end until Saturday night.' Anthony Scott, the victim's brother, said today that the National Action Network has been working with the family since Walter Scott was shot on Saturday April 4. Incendiary cell phone footage showed Scott being gunned down from behind by Slager after he was pulled over for having a broken tail light. Slager was fired, arrested and charged with murder when the video came to light, reigniting tensions around policing which took center stage in Ferguson, Missouri, after teenager Michael Brown was killed. Family: The New York Daily News claimed that Sharpton's family asked him to stay away to avoid a 'circus'. He has said it is untrue . Incendiary: Scott was shot dead by Officer Michael Slager, right, in North Charleston, South Carolina. After video footage, above, emerged of the killing, Slager was charged with murder . Sharpton said the incident proves that a new law is necessary to compel all police officers in the country to wear body cameras while on patrol. He confirmed his intention Friday morning to preach at North Charleston's Charity Missionary Baptist Church. He said his message will be that justice should be pursued 'in a peaceful, legal way'. After giving a service, he said he will attend a vigil at the spot where Scott was killed. Sharpton's involvement comes after dashcam footage from Slager's patrol car was released, showing the traffic stop moments before the shooting. From before: This footage shows Scott running away from Slager after being pulled over in his car . Slager is seen confronting Scott over his busted tail light and asking for documentation, which Scott says he does not have. When Slager returns to his patrol car, Scott flees and the officer gives chase. It is not clear what happened in the time between the dashcam footage and the cell phone video. After the shooting it emerged that Scott was some $7,500 behind in child support payments. It had been reported that a warrant was out for his arrest for this reason - but that was later shown to be false. Vigil: Sympathizers laid flowers at a makeshift memorial in North Charleston at

Summary: Preacher and civil rights leader said reports of a funeral ban are 'bogus' Will head to North Charleston, South Carolina, to preach on Sunday . Walter Scott, 50, was shot dead by Michael Slager almost a week ago .


Hundreds of runners from across the globe have taken part in North Korea's Pyongyang marathon - perhaps the most isolated international sporting event in the world. Around 650 foreign entrants, three times more than last year, joined in today's event under the constant watch of soldiers. The event - which only opened its doors to non-local amateurs in 2014 - was founded in 1981 in the single-party country, which is now led by brutal dictator Kim Jong un. One of this year's entrants Duncan Erasmus (far left) a 23 year-old software firm owner from Auckland ran in the full amateur marathon . Charles Kobold, a cable TV installation guy from the state of Wyoming, took gold in the 10km race. There were also categories for amateur full and half marathon runners plus North Korean entrants. Foreign professionals were not allowed to take part. Last year Will Marks, the British man who won the amateur half marathon category, revealed how runners were banned from displaying country flags and western logos. Photography was also forbidden, but many runners flouted the rule. Photographs of this year's event were submitted by people from Koryo Tours who flouted the ban to secretly snap the runners on their smartphones. One of this year's entrants Duncan Erasmus, a 23 year-old software firm owner from Auckland who ran the full amateur marathon, told MailOnline he was aware of being constantly watched but said the atmosphere remained jovial.

The event starts and finishes at the Rungnado May Day Stadium or Kim Il Sung Stadium (pictured) every year . Local entrants to the Pyongyang marathon were joined this year by hundreds of runners from across the world . Runners praised the jovial atmosphere as thousands of supporters turned out to cheer them on . ‘I did feel like I was in a bit of a bubble,’ he said. ‘The North Koreans were very friendly during the run but outside of it there was a marked change. They were very cautious about interacting with us, whereas it felt like during the marathon they were allowed [to interact more freely]. ‘Our cameras were confiscated by our tour guides – although they asked us for them very politely. ‘Although, like last year, some people managed to get through with cameras anyway.’ He added that alongside the thousands of supporters who came out to cheer them on was a huge number of soldiers strategically positioned to ensure that no-one stepped out of line or saw anything they weren't supposed to. ‘The soldiers were stern and restrained in their actions but even they cracked the occasional smile,’ said Mr Erasmus. ‘Their presence was everywhere – you could always see the uniform. ‘When I was running I noticed that they were positioned in places that could be deemed sensitive. For example, I saw three soldiers standing by an entrance to a construction site. They don’t like you photographing or even seeing construction.’ This year saw around 650 foreign entrants,

Summary: Around 650 foreign runners took part in the annual North Korea marathon . Entrants were banned from taking photographs and under constant watch . But runners praised jovial atmosphere and even high-fived supporters . 10km event was won by American cable installation guy Charles Kobold .

'Everyone is doing well.' It is the second child for the long-term couple who welcomed their eldest daughter Alexandra in 2011.

Ms Wong shared news of her second daughter's brith with her 100,000 Twitter followers on Tuesday morning . 'Like all families we had to think about whether we tell the toddler because she's notorious - she doesn't know what a secret is,' she told the newspaper at the time. 'But we decided to tell her because we thought it was important she knew. 'Which was fine except at the Labor convention she sat reading The Gruffalo to a baby over and over again... I came over and asked how it was going and a friend said 'it's all really good but she's just told everyone Mummy's got a baby in her tummy'.' Ms Wong has admitted in the past it would be hard to balance two children and her parliamentary duties. 'The unfortunate reality is that Sophie does the lion's share of the work and we're lucky to have my Mum and Sophie's parents, who are very supportive,' she told the Advertiser. 'Unfortunately most work is still structured in a way that expects someone at home to do most of the work.' Alexandra, pictured here with former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, was born in 2011 .

Homesick Sam Tomkins insists it is not a foregone conclusion that he will return to Wigan when he cuts short his New Zealand Warriors stay at the end of the season. The 26-year-old England full-back is interesting his former club, where his brother Joel plays, and Wigan have an option to bring him back to the DW Stadium. When announcing his departure barely 18 months ago, Wigan announced they could re-sign Tomkins on a 'defined salary' on his return to Super League. Sam Tomkins has been released by the New Zealand Warriors after feeling homesick . And while Tomkins says it would 'be nice' to resume his Wigan career, he is tentatively exploring alternative options too. Asked where he would be playing next, Tomkins said: 'I've not worked that out just yet. The first thing was to sort it out over here that I could go back. 'Hopefully that'll be sorted in the not-too-distant future.' Wigan is where Tomkins launched his career, playing for the club from 2008 to 2013, so it is inevitable he should be linked with last season's Grand Final runners-up. 'That's where my brother's playing and that's where I'm from, but I'm open to other places. I'm just trying to work out what will be the best option for me,' he said. 'Wigan would be nice but I know it's not the only team I can go to.' Before the announcement on Wednesday morning that Tomkins will be on the move, Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan told Wigan Today: 'If he became available we would be very interested. 'We've got the first option. If it gets to the point where he is available it is in our hands. And I'll be delighted if that was the case.' Tomkins has been open with his current club about the reasons for wanting to leave. Rather than not settling into the New Zealand game, it is being apart from his family and friends that has been niggling away at Tomkins, unsettling him and leaving him longing for life back in the north of England. He told Sky Sports News: 'I've enjoyed every minute of being amongst that group but New Zealand is pretty far from Wigan, where all my family live, so I want to be back in England around my family. Tomkins celebrates winning the Super League Grand Final with Wigan in 2013 having spent five years with club . 'I'll be two years I've been away and to be able to go back and be around family and friends is what I'd rather be doing next year.' A replacement for Tomkins has already been found by New Zealand Warriors, with Kiwi international Roger Tuivasa-Sheck agreeing a three-year contract that will take effect from next season. Tuivasa-Sheck will join from Sydney Roosters, with New Zealand Warriors head coach Andrew McFadden describing the 21-year-old on Wednesday as 'a wonderful talent and a fantastic signing'. That has cleared the way for Tomkins, currently sidelined with a minor knee injury, to depart without causing excessive disruption 12 months before the end of his three-year

Summary: Sam Tomkins has been homesick after moving to New Zealand . He joined Warriors after leaving Wigan who are interested in signing him . Tomkins had been contracted until the end of the 2016 season . He said he missed home in ways he never thought he would .


Greg Rusedski has supported Aljaz Bedene's bid to overturn an International Tennis Federation ruling and become eligible to represent Great Britain in the Davis Cup. Slovenia-born Bedene secured a British passport last month but cannot currently represent his new nation in the competition having played twice for Slovenia in 2010 and 2011. Bedene's switch in nationality has been met by criticism in some quarters, but not from Rusedski, who himself moved from Canada to represent Great Britain in 1995. World 99 Aljaz Bedene is not giving up hope in his quest to play for Great Britain in the Davis Cup . Bedene has Greg Rusedski's support in his bid to overturn the ITF's ruling that he can't play for Great Britain . Rusedski said: 'Every time you get another player in the top 100 it can only be of benefit and I think he will help push and drive other players to get ahead of him. 'At the moment when it comes to the Davis Cup he doesn't even factor into the discussion unless he gets the ITF to overturn their current ruling. 'But I think if the ITF do change their ruling and allow him to become available then it will be a good thing for the game in this country.' Bedene is currently ranked 99 in the world, making him British No 2 behind Andy Murray and ahead of James Ward, Kyle Edmund and Liam Broady. Rusedski has some experience of where Bedene is coming from after turning to Team GB from Canada . Great Britain's No 1 Andy Murray backs Bedene's bid, saying it'd prove motivational for those below him . Murray has already backed Bedene's switch of nationality, saying: 'I would hope that all the guys that are below him now will use it as motivation.' Bedene's case with the ITF is based on the fact that his citizenship was already pending when the governing body amended its own rules on the subject earlier this year. The 26-year-old could make his debut as a British player at the new AEGON Manchester Trophy, a grass-court Challenger event which starts on May 31.

Summary: Slovenian-born Aljaz Bedene secured a British passport last month . International Tennis Federation ruled Bedene can't play for Great Britain . Ruling comes after Bedene played twice for Slovenia in 2010 and 2011 . Rusedski, who switched to Britain from Canada, offered his support . Bedene's world No 99 ranking puts him only behind Andy Murray in Britain . Murray backed Bedene's switch saying it would motivate those below him .


Wanted: A police e-fit image of millionaire people trafficker Ermias Ghermay, who is thought to have made £72m with his accomplice Mered Medhanie from smuggling migrants in the last two years . Two millionaire people traffickers have been heard mocking the migrant boat disasters that have resulted in thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean, it has been reported. One of them, an Eritrean called Mered Medhanie, also known as The General, was heard laughing on a police wiretap about overloading migrant ships, a problem that causes them to capsize. Medhanie, 34, who is based in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, is said to have boasted: 'They say I put too many aboard, but they're the ones who want to leave in a hurry.' A second trafficker, Ermias Ghermay, who is thought to have made £72million with Medhanie from smuggling in the last two years, also showed callous disregard for the plight of his 'customers'. He was heard declaring last summer: 'They organised another trip a few days ago. I don't know what happened – they probably died.' Ghermay, who also lives in Tripoli, was already wanted on an arrest warrant in connection with an October 2013 capsizing off Lampedusa that left 366 dead. Reports of the conversations come just days after at least 900 people were feared to have drowned in one of the worst maritime disasters since the end of World War Two. More than 1,700 have perished in the last week alone. Italian police yesterday released Ghermay's photofit as they sought to track down the pair, who are among several traffickers wanted in connection with a major human smuggling ring. Ghermay and Medhanie are currently living undisturbed in Tripoli, exploiting the lawlessness in the collapse state which has allowed smugglers to operate with impunity since the fall of Gaddafi. Medhanie, who reportedly compares himself to the former Libyan dictator, and his accomplice enjoy the protection of local law authorities in the capital after it was taken over by a rival Islamist faction. A Italian naval officer stands in front of rescued migrants on board the Italian Navy vessel Bettica as they arrive in the Sicilian harbour of Augusta after being the latest group to be rescued from the Mediterranean . Terrified: Boys embrace as they arrive with migrants at the Sicilian harbor of Augusta with the Italian navy . In another wire tap recording, Medhanie, who is thought to have a wife and child in Sweden, is heard expressing scant regard for migrant suffering. 'We do an illegal job – but what do you expect? We're not the government,' he says, according to La Stampa as reported by The Independent. Others reveal how his business is booming, with him heard to say: 'This year I've done well – I sent off 7,000 to 8,000.' Another intercept reveals a discussion between Medhanie and his accomplices in Italy about the possibility of setting up bank accounts in the United Arab Emirates, but opting for U.S. or Canadian banks because 'they don't ask you where the money comes from.' Safe: European governments came

Summary: Mered Medhanie and Ermias Ghermay 'have made £72m in last two years' Medhanie heard on police wiretap mocking the fatal overcrowding of ships . Ghermay reportedly said: 'I don't know what happened, they probably died' Pair wanted over major smuggling ring, but are hiding in lawless Libya .


Arrested: Rebecca Grant tried to head-butt a deputy, scratched the police car's with her teeth, bit the upholstery and' threatened to kill the deputies' A Maine woman who was being hauled off to jail is facing even more charges after allegedly tearing apart a police cruiser with her teeth and attempting to head-butt a sheriff's deputy. Police in Limington, Maine, had been responding to reports that an apparently drunk woman was walking in and out of traffic and laying in the road on Saturday afternoon. Rebecca Grant, 40, initially claimed that she had been kidnapped and abused, but when she refused to give the name of her captors, police checked her ID and found that she was out on bail. Once York County sheriff’s deputies learned she had bail conditions not to possess or consume alcohol they went to arrest her, Sheriff William King said. However, at this point, she became violent, and attempted to head-butt a deputy sheriff before 'thrusting her head onto the trunk of his cruiser on two occasions,' Bangor Daily News reports. Once Grant, from Biddeford, had been subdued and placed in the police car, officers found white residue on her teeth. They then discovered a three-inch scratch mark in the paint of the trunk, concluding that she had, in fact, 'bitten' the patrol cruiser. Enroute to York County Jail, Grant bit the upholstery, tearing the material, causing $500 worth of damage. She also attempted to kick out the car window, Sheriff King said. In addition, the 40-year-old allegedly threatened to kill deputies and their families. Grant was charged with violating her bail conditions and criminal mischief for causing $500 in damage to the cruiser. She remained jailed Tuesday on a $200 cash bail at the York County Jail in Alfred. Ms Grant, 40, from Biddeford, was found walking 'drunk' in and out of traffic on a road in Limington, Maine .

'Since my weight loss my life has changed so much,' he enthuses. 'I started off with walking but once I started to cycle the weight just came off and I was able to join the gym. 'I've got my social life back, I'm out with my friends and I've got myself a new small car I can fit into.' Mr Rush says he has always been big but really began piling on the pounds in his twenties after moving out of his parents' home.

Six Minnesota men have been charged with terrorism in a criminal complaint unsealed Monday, the latest Westerners accused of traveling or attempting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group. The six, whom authorities described as friends who met secretly to plan their travels, are accused of conspiracy to provide material support and attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. The complaint says the men planned to reach Syria by flying to nearby countries from Minneapolis, San Diego or New York City, and lied to federal investigators when they were stopped. Scroll down for video . Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, and Adnan Abdihamid Farah, both 19, and their four co-accused have been described as close friends who met secretly to plan their travel to Syria . Hanad Mustafe Musse, 19, and the five other men arrested have been accused of being 'intent' on joining ISIS . Charged are Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, 21; Adnan Abdihamid Farah, 19; Abdurahman Yasin Daud, 21; Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, 19; Hanad Mustafe Musse, 19; and Guled Ali Omar, 20. 'These were focused men who were intent on joining a terrorist organization,' Minnesota U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said at a news conference Monday. The six were arrested Sunday in Minneapolis and San Diego and are scheduled to make initial appearances in federal court on Monday. They are the latest people from Minnesota to be charged in an investigation stretching back months into the recruitment of Westerners by IS. Authorities said earlier that a handful of Minnesota residents have traveled to Syria to fight with militants in the past year, and at least one has died. Three of those charged in the newest complaint - Mohamed Farah, Abdurahman and Musse - were stopped at a New York City airport in November along with 19-year-old Hamza Ahmed, but they were not charged until now. Ahmed was indicted on charges of lying to the FBI during a terrorism investigation, conspiring to provide material support to IS, and attempting to provide material support. He has pleaded not guilty. On Monday, the FBI announced the arrest of six Somali-American men from Minnesota, accused of trying to join ISIS. Above, FBI Special Agent Richard R Thornton details the arrests at a press conference, with U.S. Attorney Andrew M Luger to the left . Despite being stopped already, Luger said, the three others continued to try to get to Syria to join IS 'by any means possible.' The complaint describes several interactions some of the men had with Abdi Nur, a Minnesota man charged previously with conspiracy to provide support to a terror organization. The complaint says Nur, 'from his locale in Syria, recruits individuals and provides assistance to those who want to leave Minnesota to fight abroad.' The complaint relies in part on material from a confidential informant who had himself conspired to join IS before he changed his mind and went to authorities. Some of the informant's conversations with the six men were recorded. The Minneapolis area is home to the largest concentration of Somali immigrants in the U.S. Since

Summary: The six Minnesota men were arrested Sunday on terrorism charges . Suspects Adnan Abdihamid Farah, 19; Zacharia Yusuf Abdurahman, 19; Hanad Mustafe Musse, 19; and Guled Ali Omar, 20 arrested in Minnesota . Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, 19, and Abdurahman Yasin Daud, 21 were taken into custody in San Diego, California, after driving from Minnesota . Three of the men were stopped in November trying to fly out of the country, but were only charged this month .


Hibernian claimed their first Edinburgh derby victory of the season as goals from Jason Cummings and Farid El Alagui sealed a 2-0 win over Hearts and allowed them to collect a valuable three points in the push for second place in the Championship. The Leith outfit were rewarded for a dominant first-half performance against the champions when Cummings - a former youth player at Tynecastle - found the net from close range after 30 minutes. Hearts improved after the break but Hibs sealed the win in the first minute of injury time with a cool finish from El Alagui. Hibernian goalscorer Farid El Alagui celebrates with Liam Craig following Sunday's 2-0 win over Hearts . Jason Cummings (left), who also found the back of the net, celebrates his goal with team-mate Martin Boyle . With the title wrapped up, Hearts went into this match with only derby bragging rights at stake. On paper, the game meant more to promotion-chasing Hibs and Alan Stubbs' side fully deserved all the spoils. There was no guard of honour by Hibs for their city rivals but the travelling fans were in full voice as the teams emerged from the tunnel, blasting out 'championees'. Edinburgh derbies are never short of passion and there was a coming together of Adam Eckersley and Scott Allan inside the first two minutes. No action was taken by referee Kevin Clancy even though Hearts defender Eckersley appeared to move his head towards Allan's. Hibs settled the better of the two teams and created a handful of chances. On 12 minutes, Fraser Fyvie lifted a first-time curling effort over the crossbar from 18 yards before Hearts full-back Callum Paterson headed the ball onto the top of his own bar from a teasing Allan free-kick. Hibs continued to press and Neil Alexander was forced into the first save of the game to push away a curling Cummings effort at the edge of the area after the forward did well to create a yard of space up against Danny Wilson. Hearts goalkeeper Neil Alexander watches on as Cummings shot goes past him and into the back of the net . Hibs finally got a tangible reward for their dominance on the half-hour mark when Cummings put the home side in front. Allan's corner was only partially cleared and El Alagui's flick was slotted into the net by Cummings from three yards. Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson did not like what he was seeing and, in reverting to an orthodox 4-4-2, replaced Kevin McHattie with Sam Nicholson. But Hibs created the next chance as the bar again came to Hearts' rescue. Allan's corner caused problems and Liam Fontaine cracked a superb left-footed volley off the woodwork. Hearts made a brighter start to the second period and had a chance to test Hibs goalkeeper Mark Oxley after Jamie Walker was tripped 20 yards from goal. But Alim Ozturk flashed a free-kick wide of the far post. Walker then unleashed a venomous drive from 25 yards that was expertly tipped over by Oxley. Cummings is crongratulated by his

Summary: Jason Cummings and Farid El Alagui scored in Edinburgh derby victory . Hibernian beat rivals Hearts in race for second place in the Championship . Hibernian now on same points as Rangers who have a game in hand .
