Following the dismissal of midfielder Moises Caicedo in the first half, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge by manager Enzo Maresca.

Georgia May Foote, who revealed she has a lifelong condition, has since shared a new health update.
The actress, known for playing Katy Armstrong in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street from 2010 to 2015, is living with vitiligo, a long-term skin condition that results in pale, white patches on the skin due to the loss of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells. Earlier this year, Georgia, 34, explained she first started suffering with the issue in 2020, but it’s only got worse over time, and it has even reached her face.
This week, Georgia shared a new update on social media as she posted an image of her raised arm on Instagram. She also shared some snaps from her busy life and captioned the post: “Just a bit of me and my week.”

The actress recently shared some details about her vitiligo on Channel 5 News, saying she wants to raise awareness of the autoimmune condition. She said: “I developed it in 2020. It started out as a small spot, and it has since grown over the past five years. I now have it down my arms and elbows, and it’s all over my hands.
“And it’s now gone on my face as well, which has obviously changed a lot. I feel fortunate that it took on such a strange form when I was the age I did. I’ll do if I can help other people by raising some awareness about it.
Georgia continued to push and push for the right diagnosis as the condition was progressing, even though she claimed she was mistaken for a while. She added that she hopes a cream that can treat the condition, which is not yet available in the UK, will eventually be approved for use there.
Revealing details of her condition earlier this year, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant wrote: “My heart goes out to anyone who has this condition. Mine was brought on in 2020 [upside down face] I wonder why! I just wanted to show the reality of it. Some days are so so hard and I get so angry about it. I will always try to be brave to show others with the condition that it’s ok. Sometimes it gets the best of me.”
She continued, “We have this.” I pray that this cream will eventually be used in this country. I beg you to be kind with comments when I take a few weeks away. You’ll see a lot, and it’s going to be difficult to do, I assure you.
Next, Georgia, who now has her own nail salon in Manchester, posted a photo of her left hand, sporting a flawless manicure and a glitzy ring from husband Kris Evans – alongside several white patches contrasting with her olive skin. She described: “This was only a few months ago and it’s spread so so much since. I have always looked forward to holidays, but now for the genuine first time ever I’m so nervous to go.
Instead of gaining the self-assurance that comes from a tan, I’m afraid that I’ll start getting people to stare at me. Additionally, some patches become invisible until the rest of you become more sombre.
Georgia’s final post on the subject reads, “This picture makes me a little sad. I had a terrible tan. I’ve always admired how well-tan I received. Fast forward five years and I’ve been living with vitiligo, which causes me to develop white patches that get worse day by day.
“Today is difficult. It’s now appearing on my face. I’m heartbroken to know that it’s only going to get worse. I’m okay with it on some days. I’m not today, like today. The hardest thing I have ever had to deal with is [sad emoji] my face. I’m so afraid of it.

With a 90-82 victory over Iceland, Great Britain won the first of the 2027 Fiba World Cup qualifiers.
In their Group D opener last Thursday, GB lost to Lithuania 89-88, but they had much more control when the Icelanders played at the Laugardalsholl in Reykjavik.
At the conclusion of a competitive first quarter, two rival teams, separated by just three spots in the Fiba rankings, had set a new scoring record of 17-17, with GB coming in 43rd and Iceland 46th.
However, GB took the lead and led by 18 points, ending the quarter at 69-51.
With one minute and 47 seconds left, Iceland cut the deficit to eight points, but GB held on after a timeout to thwart the home side’s chances of a late comeback.
Myles Hesson and Quinn Ellis each scored 17 and 16 points, respectively, while Carl Wheatle led the GB team with a game-high 22.
Tryggvi Hlinason added 17 points, while Martin Hermannsson led Iceland overall.
In a heavyweight title fight between Chelsea and Arsenal, Mike Merino saved the team.
Moises Caicedo, a Chelsea midfielder, was sent off in the 38th minute at Stamford Bridge after being caught by a crude foul on Merino.
Trevoh Chalobah headed Chelsea in the 48th minute from Reece James’ corner despite Caicedo being sent off.
However, Arsenal escaped a bruising encounter between the title rivals with Merino’s close-range header from Bukayo Saka’s cross in the 59th minute.

Arsenal are five points clear of Manchester City, who defeated Newcastle on Saturday, and are six points ahead of Chelsea, who are third.
The Gunners are still the favorites to win their first Premier League title since 2004, but Chelsea’s aggressive display suggested they might pose the greatest threat to the team’s title ambitions.
Chelsea have won their first seven games without losing in all competitions, while Arsenal have won all 17 of those games, winning 14 of those.
“I believe the picture becomes clearer and clearer for me.”
Danny Rohl’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Falkirk at Ibrox, and that is how Rangers head coach Danny Rohl responded.
A result that puts them nine points clear of Hearts with a game less than they have won the Scottish Premiership since the Germans took control. And seven adrift of Celtic, who are in second place.
This season, the Rangers have won just two league games at Ibrox, many of which were won by former head coach Russell Martin.
After a performance that consistently failed to reach the heights, full-time sounded like boos en route to the sparsely occupied stands.
Poor Rangers. The audience member yelled, “This was the worst display of the season,” in a loud voice. Nobody in opposition.
Despite some encouraging outcomes, the majority of performances were underwhelming in Rohl’s short tenure as head coach and there were some areas of unfinished business.
It was difficult to overthrow Livingston’s 2-1 victory over last weekend.
With the score at 1-1, Rangers felt like they had gotten away with Emmanuel Fernandez escaping without punishment after handling in the penalty area. However, Rohl’s side triumphed, which is crucial.
They didn’t succeed in their insipid display against Falkirk. The gap in the league has now narrowed to a point where they could still challenge for the title.
When he spoke about the squad he inherited, Rohl said, “I have a good overview after six weeks.” “I am aware of our situation, but it’s my responsibility to get better.
What should I start with? It wouldn’t have been deserved if Rangers had discovered a winner. Scott Bain was hardly ever put on the ice.
Four front-line adjustments were ineffective. Poor Oliver Antman. Ineffective Thelo Aasgaard Bojan Miovski is just as right. Not nearly enough time was had by Nedim Bajrami.
In the summer, three members of that quartet paid a combined fee of around £10 million.
The players appeared unwilling to accept responsibility for what happened in the match against Falkirk. The crowd’s behavior only exacerbated the situation.
“Rohl conceded,” “This is exactly the point.” When you are at your best and most confident, you make the right decisions.
When Rangers’ takeover was complete, there was so much cheer in the supporters’ hearts. For the time being, the new dawn that promised doesn’t stop there.
Football recruitment is crucial. Few would contest the success of the summer window. The scope of that failure was rubbered-stamped by the recent firings of sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart.
Two of Falkirk’s starting back four have been drafted on loan and haven’t done well.
Before injuries forced Rohl’s hand, Fernandez, who signed for a sizable sum, has hardly featured.
Young striker Youssef Chermiti missed out due to illness, but his £8 million fee has hardly appeared extravagant.
It’s difficult to identify a success, despite the recent decline in Djeidi Gassama.
The head coach appears to have a better understanding of the task at hand now that he has had time to evaluate what he has available.
When asked if some players needed to demonstrate more to persuade him that they have a long-term future with Rangers, he responded, “Yes, I believe this is also a part.”
“We have a long December where we have to work with this group,” he says, “but we also have to consider what we can do.”
Decidedly frightening The fixture list appears challenging.
Beginning December, there will be two consecutive away trips to Dundee United on Wednesday and Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Following that, a must-win Europa League trip to Ferencvaros is required. On 11 points, Hungary ranks sixth in the table. That only serves to illustrate Rangers how difficult the task is, with victory crucial to preserving the slimmest chance of advancement.
Hibernian visit Ibrox four days later, and they might be interested in competing.
With two home games against Motherwell and St Mirren to end the calendar year, Hearts, the current league leaders, will face an even greater challenge.
Few people will support Rohl’s side if the evidence from Sunday proves otherwise.
The transfer window opens in January. In a month that is typically difficult to conduct business, fans will be looking for significant changes.
Stephen Craigan, a former international at Motherwell and Northern Ireland, believes that significant business needs to be done.
After spending £30 million on the summer, Craig claimed on Sportsound, “It’s crazy that this Rangers team needs major surgery.” Who would you keep? 11 people appeared to be pitching for the first time.
Steven Thompson, a former Rangers striker, concurred.
The summer had a lot of positive energy, but it has completely changed. The recruitment process has been a complete failure.
“The performance was poor in terms of creativity. Almost no effort on the part of the goal. There are hardly any moments that leave you speechless.
Abernethy: Rangers give another disappointing performance. The Old Firm derby defeat appears to be inevitable. Investors in the 49ers’ upcoming departure cannot be discounted. Next season’s worth of European football is unmanageable.
Could be close to the worst Rangers team of all time, Melvin?
Falkirk is a point, Hamish. No today’s home team officials’ free card for getting out of jail.
Gabe: Again, absolutely awful from Rangers. Although Rohl is working with a squad that isn’t quite competitive, questions need to be raised about his tactics and player selections. Occasionally perplexing.
Duncan: Rohl’s comments about improvement are completely contradictory to the awful performances, and he only slightly improves Martin. Why does he keep picking the same non-performers? He hasn’t accomplished anything noteworthy since taking over, but he is praised for saving humanity.
