Second-half strikes by Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes gave Wolves an impressive first win in nine matches as the rock-bottom side in the Premier League put West Midlands neighbours Aston Villa at risk of being overtaken by Manchester United this weekend. Generous defending by the third-placed Villans allowed Joao Gomes to lift a finish past goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from inside the box to break the deadlock in the 61st minute at Molineux, pouncing after Adam Armstrong applied a touch to Jackson Tchatchoua’s cross from the right.

During the first year of his…

The European Union has thus begun its tech decoupling from the United States. It will take time, money, and consistent cooperation by EU members who are often…
