Mathieu van der Poel won a historic third successive Paris-Roubaix on Sunday after a compelling battle with Tadej Pogacar on the cobbled roads of northern France. This had been one of the most anticipated editions of the race in years, with Pogacar, the reigning world champion and Tour de France winner, making his Paris-Roubaix debut against one-day specialist Van der Poel.

Let's get one thing straight. From a Newcastle United perspective, Alexander Isak is not for sale, not even in a loose, exploratory 'let's get a quantity surveyor in' way. Newcastle fans can feel justifiably angry by the notion that a team will waltz off with their No 9 with a flutter of eyelashes and a wad of cash.

Newcastle United march on. Monday's 3-0 win at Leicester City was a fourth consecutive win in all competitions, sent the club into the Champions League places, and was as comprehensive a victory as they come. Leicester were not so much put to bed as banged over the head with a shovel. Three first-half goals, two for Jacob Murphy and one for Harvey Barnes, ended the game as a contest after just over 30 minutes. Murphy's and Newcastle's second, in particular, was Leicester's greatest indignity.

Eddie Howe's side took full advantage of facing relegation-bound opponents to lead after two minutes through Jacob Murphy following neat work from Tino Livramento and Harvey Barnes.
