Sports ground exclusions and mandatory work for offenders in England and Wales ‘part of mix’ under sentencing review

Criminals could be banned from pubs, sports grounds and social events under proposals being considered as alternatives to prison, a minister has said.

• Manager thrilled at 7-1 mauling of PSV Eindhoven
• Win is club’s biggest away victory in Champions League

Mikel Arteta paid tribute to Arsenal’s players for a “special night” as they thrashed PSV Eindhoven 7-1 to record their biggest away victory in the Champions League.

Martin Ødegaard, the captain, was inspired as he scored twice with Riccardo Calafiori, on as a substitute, rounding off the rout with Arsenal’s seventh goal to surpassing the Gunners’ 5-1 victory at San Siro against Inter in 2003.

Graceful captain set the tone early on in thrashing of PSV and will need to be at his best when tougher tests arrive

If there was a moment that epitomised how Arsenal were going to approach what had appeared to be an extremely tricky away assignment against PSV Eindhoven then it came in the 20th minute of this surprisingly one-sided first leg. Already leading through Jurriën Timber’s header, a cross from Leandro Trossard eluded everyone in the box but Martin Ødegaard had already set off in pursuit of the ball. His attempts to keep it in play eventually came to no avail despite a desperate slide, yet the Arsenal captain had set the tone.

Two minutes later, Ethan Nwaneri had etched his name into the history books again as the third-youngest goalscorer in the Champions League knockout stages, and Arsenal were well on their way to a statement win that will live long in the memory of the 1,800 Gunners fans who witnessed it live.

• Clarets beat Cardiff despite clean sheet run ending at 12
• Bolton stun League One leaders; Wycombe close gap

Burnley’s run of Championship clean sheets finally came to an end on Tuesday night, but they kept the heat on in the promotion race with a 2-1 win at Cardiff.

Yousef Salech’s firm header in the 42nd minute was the first goal the Clarets had conceded in 1,132 minutes of league action, a run of 12 consecutive clean sheets broken. But by the time Salech scored it, early goals from Josh Brownhill and Maxime Estève had already put Scott Parker’s side in charge, and the win puts them two points behind second-placed Sheffield United.
