Everton v Manchester City: Premier League – live!

The teams are out. No air-raid siren to greet the players, just the theme to Z-Cars. City wear t-shirts with the Ukraine flag and the legend NO WAR. Everton emerge draped in the flag of Ukraine. Then a timely spin of the 1960s Hollies classic He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. A lovely moment where humanity prevails. Poor Zinchenko on the City bench looks close to tears but the brave young man gives a supportive crowd the thumbs up. We’ll be off in an emotional minute. Godspeed Ukraine.
