Chris Richards was controversially sent off with a second yellow card in first-half stoppage time of a contest which never found a flow.

The vehicle hit a 47-year-old man on Stonyhurst Road, Woolton, at about 11:45pm on Friday, Merseyside Police said.

Three Asda Stockton employees helped a vulnerable man who was sleeping in his car. The 70-year-old widower was found by Dan McCormack, Tanya Owens, and Trish Wilkinson in the car park of the store.
