LONDON -- Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel said he was "the happiest manager in the world" despite earning a red card at the end of a stormy 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

The world's third-largest economy grew 0.5% quarter-on-quarter due to stronger consumption and capital investment. While the country never imposed strict stay-at-home orders during the pandemic, the government in March lifted virus restrictions primarily targeting business opening hours.

From April to June, private consumption grew 1.1% compared with the 0.3% registered in the January-March quarter, according to the data released by the Cabinet Office. Capital spending expanded 1.4%, compared with a 0.3% contraction in the previous quarter.
