Arsenal’s luck had to run out sooner or later. Mikel Arteta’s side finally surrendered their unbeaten start to the season after William Saliba was sent off – their third red card in their opening eight matches – as Bournemouth celebrated a famous victory thanks to goals from the substitutes Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert.

It was an evening to savour for their manager, Andoni Iraola, who saw his enterprising team record their first win over a side in the top half of the table since beating Manchester United in December. For it to come against Arteta – who grew up playing for the same youth team in San Sebastián – made it particularly sweet. But with Bukayo Saka having not made the trip to the south coast, Arsenal had looked short of inspiration even before Saliba’s red card swung the balance of the game.

Shia group has not claimed responsibility for attack on PM’s home but says it fired several barrages of rockets

Benjamin Netanyahu’s house in the seaside town of Caesarea was hit by a drone on Saturday, causing superficial damage and no casualties, as Israel’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon rage unabated following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar .

The Israeli government said that one of the prime minister’s three homes was targeted by three drones, two of which were intercepted, and that neither Netanyahu nor his wife, Sara, were home at the time.

Labour should not dither – it is time for England to follow the example set by Scotland and Wales

Broadcasters have, understandably enough, been adding content warnings to reports about Sara Sharif, the 10-year-old girl who allegedly died at the hands of her father, stepmother and uncle, after two years of abuse.

“This article features details that some people might find distressing” is the BBC’s slightly strange way of putting it, as if significant numbers of people are undistressed by reading about the horrific injuries found, an Old Bailey jury has heard, on the child’s body. And also by the evidence, sickening in its implications, that neighbours heard disturbing noises but did not report them. And by another disquieting detail, from a phone call said by the prosecution to have been made to the emergency services by Sara’s father. “I legally punished her, and she died,’’ he is alleged to have said.

Leaders paint Kamala Harris as Jezebel, who is cast out – from a window, trampled by horses, and eaten by dogs

As the sky darkened on the National Mall in DC last Saturday, evangelical pastor Ché Ahn addressed the thousands of worshippers gathered there and issued a decree.

Trump, Ahn said, was a figure akin to the biblical King Jehu, and “Kamala Harris is a type of Jezebel, and as you know, Jehu cast out Jezebel”.

Rachel de Souza makes strongest intervention yet as three relatives go on trial for murder of Sara Sharif, the 10-year-old who allegedly suffered two years of abuse by her father

Ministers must ban smacking now, the children’s commissioner for England has said, in her strongest intervention yet on child safety.

Rachel de Souza said that banning smacking was “a necessary step” to keep children safe, and that bans in Scotland and Wales had “taught us we need to take that step in England too”, adding “now is the time to go further”.

• Jockey makes up for odds-on Baeed blowout in 2022
• Rider has to weave through runners on 40-1 outsider

The twist in the narrative at the end of the Champion Stakes on Saturday was so unexpected that Anmaat and Jim Crowley crossed the line in near-silence, having stifled the celebrations of favourite-backers by sweeping past Calandagan, the 6-4 market leader, a few strides from the line. For Crowley, though, it was a moment to savour and the sound of a job well done, not least after the disappointment of his defeat on the long odds-on Baaeed in the same race two years ago.

Just two of the 11 runners in the race set off at a bigger price than Anmaat, who was a 40-1 chance despite having won the Group One Prix D’Ispahan at Longchamp in May 2023 on his only previous start at the highest level. A long absence through injury followed that success, and while he was a winner again at Haydock in August, a poor run when favourite for the Prix Dollar at Longchamp a fortnight ago persuaded most backers to look elsewhere.

Shooting, preceded by a fight among some of the men, near Lexington early Saturday also left eight people wounded

Three people were killed and eight others were wounded in central Mississippi early Saturday when at least two people fired guns at a group of several hundred people who were celebrating a high school football team’s homecoming win at an outdoor trail several hours after the game had ended, authorities said.

The mass shooting near the community of Lexington was preceded by a fight among some of the men at the celebration, but deputies had not yet learned what sparked the fight, said Holmes county sheriff Willie March.

The novelist and short story writer on her new book about Azrael, the angel of death, her encounters with Raymond Carver and Richard Yates, and why fiction should be uncanny

Joy Williams, 80, has written five novels and four story collections and is the recipient of numerous awards. Her most recent book of short stories, Concerning the Future of Souls : 99 Stories of Azrael (Tuskar Rock), was published earlier this year. Her work ranges from the philosophical examination of being, belief and morality to urgent engagements with environmental catastrophe; James Salter wrote of her that she belongs in the company of Céline and Flannery O’Connor. Born in Massachusetts, she now lives in the Sonoran desert.

An earlier collection of yours was called 99 Stories of God , and now you’ve moved on to Azrael (the angel of death and transporter of souls) as the subject. What drew you to him?
I read in a WS Merwin collection his translation of Hadrian’s deathbed poem to his soul – Animula vagula blandula – so sorrowful and succinct. The soul, a worthy subject. And Azrael has always fascinated me: he was death, but not death exactly. He was more a gorgeous creation of Islam. I picture him as responsible for all the souls of this ensouled Earth.
