Hearts head coach Derek McInnes believes his side are currently the “best team” in Scotland, but is not getting carried away despite their unbeaten start to the season.The Jambos are nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after the first full round of fixtures and have scored as many league goals as both Celtic and Rangers combined. However, McInnes, who has masterminded victories against both Old Firm sides already this campaign, continues to be reluctant to label his team as title contenders.

Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich battled to a 1-1 draw in a lively game which saw plenty of second-half goalmouth action but did little to improve the struggling sides’ fortunes.After Barry Bannan found the net with a fine individual goal early on, Norwich rallied after the break, with substitute Mathias Kvistgaarden equalising to end the Canaries’ six-match losing run. Norwich boss Liam Manning, who admitted he was “hurting” and apologised to fans after his side’s 2-0 defeat at home to Hull at the weekend, must have feared the worst after conceding in the opening minutes.The Owls had survived a scare in…

Thierry Small’s sensational early strike set the tone as Preston moved up to fourth after beating Swansea 2-1 at Deepdale.The 21-year-old let fly with an eighth-minute arrow from 30 yards to open the scoring and Milutin Osmajic got the decisive strike with a somewhat scruffier second after 49 minutes, his fourth goal of the season but his first since August 23.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Trump administration officials briefed a small group of congressional leaders Wednesday on the growing military campaign to destroy alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the waters off South America, providing one of the first high-level glimpses into the legal rationale and strategy behind the strikes.

Now, at age 60 — and with two teenagers at home — Parker accepts roles based on how they’ll fit into her schedule, she said.”I’m making choices differently than I used to,”…
