Islamic militants have unleashed a wave of simultaneous attacks on Egyptian army checkpoints in the northern Sinai Peninsula, killing at least 38 soldiers. The attacks came just two days after a ISIS car bomb assassinated one of the country’s top prosecutors, Hisham Barakat. Speaking at Mr Barakat's funeral, President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi vowed to step up a two-year crackdown on militants.

Jose Mourinho was forced to defend new £8millon signing Asmir Begovic as Chelsea suffered a humbling 4-2 defeat to a New York Red Bulls team largely made up of youth team players and reserves on the first fixture of their US tour. Begovic had a nightmare start after coming on for the second-half for Thibaut Courtois, as Chelsea endured a calamitous period in which they conceded four goals including one scored by a 16-year-old high school kid, Tyler Adams, in a performance which Mourinho labelled a ‘disaster.’ The Chelsea manager claimed that the fact they had only trained for six days and that they had been doing double sessions accounted for the shock result, with the Red Bulls fielding a reserve side which plays in the US third division, as their first team had played in a US Open Cup fixture the night before.Chelsea were beaten 4-2 by New York Red Bulls in first America tour gameNew goalkeeper Asmir Begovic made a couple of calamitous errorsBut Jose Mourinho defended his £8m signing, saying he was tiredManager said Begovic would start next match against Paris Saint-Germain
