Author | Ajay Rick Astley drew one of the biggest crowds of the weekend at Tramlines and delivered a hugely entertaining set. Opening with “Together, Forever” in a dusty pink suit, he immediately turned the festival into a party before surprising fans by taking to the drums during a brilliant cover of RAYE’s “Where The Hell Is My Husband”. The highlight, inevitably, was “Never Going To Give You Up”, which prompted a huge Sheffield rickroll.

Stockport five-piece Blossoms arrived at Tramlines following a busy period that has included announcing their next album, “Songs From The Wedding Cake”, releasing “Jokes About Divorce” and appearing at several festivals.

Spain were deserved winners of a desperately disappointing World Cup final Ferran Torres' extra-time strike finally broke the resistance of 10-man Argentina. Author | James Y Stadium | New York New Jersey Stadium The European champions created the clearer chances against the defending world champions, who spent much of the contest disrupting Spain's rhythm and were reduced to 10 players when Enzo Fernandez was sent off moments before extra time. Torres proved the match winner in the 106th minute, collecting substitute Nico Williams' headed pass before firing powerfully past Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from close range. A final that promised so much rarely delivered. It became an attritional contest, despite the wider spectacle surrounding the occasion. Watch | Highlights from the BBC US President Donald Trump arrived in New Jersey by helicopter before kick-off, while Shakira, Madonna and Justin Bieber headlined the first World Cup half-time show, extending the in...

England finish in 3rd place at the World Cup The match neither side truly wanted to play became one neither wanted to end. Author | George B Stadium | Miami Stadium England's bronze final, formerly known as the third-place play-off, against France erupted into an extraordinary contest that produced 10 goals, with the Three Lions scoring six. It could easily have delivered even more. Bukayo Saka became only the second England player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup knockout match, following Sir Geoff Hurst's feat in the 1966 final. The only other player to score a World Cup hat-trick against France was Pele in 1958. Records being broken everywhere... The victory secured England's highest finish at a men's World Cup since lifting the trophy in 1966 and their best result ever at a tournament held outside home soil. It also came in the highest-scoring third-place match in World Cup history, surpassing France's 6-3 win over West Germany in 1958. England also defea...

England were left heartbroken as their World Cup dream came to an agonising end Argentina scoring twice in the closing stages to complete a dramatic semi-final comeback in Atlanta. Author | George B Stadium | Atlanta Stadium Thomas Tuchel's side appeared destined for their first men's World Cup final since lifting the trophy in 1966 when Anthony Gordon put them ahead in a fiercely contested encounter after 55 minutes. But Argentina found another gear in the closing moments. Enzo Fernandez curled home a superb equaliser five minutes from time before Lautaro Martinez headed in Lionel Messi's cross deep into stoppage time to complete a remarkable turnaround. England's wait for major tournament success therefore continues. They will now face France in the third-place play-off, while Argentina will attempt to defend their World Cup title against Spain on Sunday. Watch | Key moments from BBC Sport The intense atmosphere inside and outside Atlanta Stadium was reflected by a co...

Spain outclass France to book place in World Cup final Spain are through to the World Cup final after producing an assured display to beat favourites France convincingly. Author | James Y Stadium | Dallas Stadium   Luis de la Fuente's side nullified a France team packed with attacking quality, controlled a contest that offered few clear-cut chances and deservedly secured their place in Sunday's final thanks to goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro. Oyarzabal gave Spain the lead from the penalty spot midway through the first half after France left-back Lucas Digne clumsily caught Lamine Yamal while attempting to clear the ball. The Spain forward calmly dispatched the penalty into the corner and, once ahead, his side tightened their grip on proceedings. Watch | Highlights from BBC Sport France were expected to respond after an underwhelming first half, but it was Spain who continued to dictate the game. Porro exchanged a neat one-two with Dani Olmo before finishing confident...
