     Casemiro (right) celebrates with his teammates scoring against Reading. Manchester United secured a 3-1 win over Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday, thanks to a spectacular performance from their Brazilian stars. Casemiro scored twice and Fred added a third with a clever flick, while Reading's Amadou Mbengue scored a consolation goal. The match was not as easy as expected for United, as they struggled to convert their many chances in the first half, and Reading almost took the lead before halftime. Despite Andy Carroll's sending off, Reading were not able to overcome the Samba magic of United's Brazilian players in the second half. Antony set up the first goal with a perfect pass that put Casemiro in position to elegantly lift the ball over the Reading goalkeeper, Joe Lumley, early in the second half. Casemiro then added another goal with a fierce 30-yard strike, and Fred completed the scoring with a daring flick. The match was marked by the sending off of Andy Carrol...

   Rafael Nadal. Rafael Nadal remains on course to return to action in March after undergoing further tests on the hip flexor injury he sustained on his way out of the Australian Open. The 22-time major winner failed to defend his crown in Melbourne after losing 6-4 6-4 7-5 to world number 65 Mackenzie McDonald last week. Nadal struggled to move around the court in the closing stages of the match and revealed afterwards he had aggravated an issue he had been suffering with for a couple of days. An MRI scan showed the Spaniard had a grade two illiopsoas tear in his hip flexor, which would usually mean between six and eight weeks out of action. After returning home to undergo further checks on Thursday, Nadal confirmed he is on course to return in that initial timeframe. "Today I have been at the Tecknon Tennis Clinic in Barcelona where they have carried out some tests on me," he posted on his personal Twitter page. "The Melbourne results are confirmed and the deadlines re...

        Rory Mcllroy was co-leading with Patrick Reed in Dubai. Rory Mcllroy was tied with rival Patrick Reed for the lead after the delayed conclusion to round one of the Dubai Desert Classic, though the Northern Irishman was not entirely satisfied with his performance. The build-up to the tournament has been dominated by a spat between world number one Mcllroy and LIV Golf defector Reed. American Reed labelled Mcllroy an "immature little child" for blanking him at the practice range and was also alleged to have thrown a tee at Mcllroy. Mcllroy said Reed's lawyer served him with court papers on Christmas Eve, although Reed has said he was not behind the subpoena, with the case concerned being one brought by American attorney Larry Klayman relating to divisions between LIV Golf and PGA Tour. A strong start from both players on a rain-delayed day one raised the possibility of an intriguing pairing over the weekend. And the chances of that happening were increased with...

     Eddie Nketiah scored twice for Arsenal. Arsenal made a huge statement of their Premier League intent on Sunday, coming from behind to beat Manchester United 3-2 in front of a raucous Emirates crowd. Marcus Rashford silenced the home fans with a stunning opening goal but an equaliser from Eddie Nketiah and wonderful second-half strike from Bukayo Saka turned the match on its head. The visitors, dangerous on the break throughout the match, levelled the pulsating encounter when Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez headed in after Arsenal failed to clear a corner. The Gunners poured forward in search of a winner and eventually got the goal they deserved when Nketiah turned the ball home in the 90th minute. Earlier on, Pep Guardiola's Man City had closed the gap to just two points with their 3-0 win against Wolves, courtesy of Erling Haaland's fourth treble of the season.

      Jon Rahm Jon Rahm's phenomenal front nine earned him a share of the lead with Davis Thompson after the third round of The American Express in California on Saturday.

Rahm and Thompson are joint top on 23-under overall, four strokes ahead of J.T Poston and Christiaan Bezuidenhout. Bezuidenhout enjoyed a scintillating 10...

  After two rounds at The American Express it is Davis Thompson and Joh Rahm who have broken away from the field, both at least three strokes clear of third place. Thompson was the first-round leader after riding back-to-back eagles to a 10-under 62- the best score of his PGA Tour career-and he added three more eagles in his second round to follow it up with a 64 and head into the weekend at 18 under. His five eagles ties the PGA Tour record for the most through 36 holes at any event. He is two strokes clear of Rahm at 16 under after the world number four went bogey-free for his second 64 in a row.

                                      Bayern were pegged back by RB Leipzig Bayern Munich were pegged back by RB Leipzig as the Bundesliga returned with an entertaining 1-1 draw on Friday. Marcel Halstenberg struck in the 52nd minute at Red Bull Arena to draw third-placed Leipzig level against the league leaders. Julian Nagelsmann had seen his team take the lead against his former club eight minutes before half-time, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting picking up where he left off before the World Cup break. Bayern were lucky former Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano stayed on the pitch after a rash challenge on Dominik Szoboszlai, but the visitors' run of 10 successive wins in all competitions came to a halt regardless. Jamal Musiala was a rare bright spot for Germany in Qatar, and the teenager teed up the first chance when he played in Serge Gnabry, whose shot was deflected against the post by anoth...

                                 Yann Sommer has signed for Bayern Munich Yann Sommer has joined Bayern Munich from fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach. Sommer, a Swiss international, has regularly been one of the best-performing goalkeepers in Germany during his time at Gladbach. The 34-year-old, whose contract was due to expire at the end of the season, has joined Bayern on a two-and-a-half year deal for a fee reported to be in the region of 8 million euros. Bayern wanted to add to their goalkeeper options after Manuel Neuer was ruled out for the rest of the season having broken his leg while skiing in December. The possibility of recalling Alexander Nubel from his loan at Monaco had been explored, though Sommer always seemed to be the priority target. Despite Gladbach's insistence they did not wish to sell him, Sommer reportedly asked to leave, and a deal was struck between the two clubs....

                                                     Aryna Sabalenka Aryna Sabalenka could never previously have been accused of being boring, but she now wears that tag as a badge of honour and believes it can lead to Australian Open glory. The world number five from Belearus has found a way to control her previously volatile emotions, cured her torrid serving yips through persistent hard work, and an elusive grand slam might soon be coming her way. Sabalenka won 6-2 6-3 against Belgian Elise Mertens in an hour and 14 minutes on Margaret Court Arena on Saturday, delivering another dominant performance that means she has yet to drop a set this year. That includes a fuss-free run to the Adelaide International 1 title and a brisk dash through the opening three rounds at Melbourne Park. She is 14-0 for sets in 2023, and this new version of Sabalenka faces O...

                            Formula One last raced in China in 2019 Formula One has decided against replacing the cancelled Chinese Grand Prix in the 2023 calender, which remains a 23-race season. Shanghai was set to host China's first race since 2019 on April 16, making it the fourth date on the calender. But the race was cancelled in December due to China's zero-COVID policy, with the country still implementing strict rules in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus. It was deemed unfeasible to host a race in Shanghai, with F1 subsequently considering potential replacement destinations elsewhere. Portimao in Portugal and Istanbul in Turkey were apparently in contention, but it was confirmed on Tuesday that the season will remain 23 races instead. That leaves a four-week gap between the third race in Australia on April 2 and the fourth race in Azerbaijan on April 30. "Formula 1 can confirm that the 2023 season ...

        Casper Ruud reacts during his second-round singles wing against Jenson Brooksby.  Casper Ruud made two grand slam finals last year, but his 2023 Australian Open campaign fell to pieces with a shock second-round loss to 22-year-old Jenson Brooksby. American Brooksby prevailed on his fifth match point, after fluffing three in the third set, when second seed Ruud hit a return long. That sealed a 6-3 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 victory in three hours and 55 minutes on Rod Laver Arena. Ruud's demise on Thursday means he joins top seed Rafael Nadal in exiting early in Melbourne, with the Norwegian departing in the Spaniard's wake after struggling through the first two sets before a medical time-out prior to the third. Ruud staved off three match points at 5-3 down in the third, when Brooksby got tight with victory in sight, before winning the set in a tie-break. However, Brooksby regained his composure in the fourth set and broke twice early to open up a 3-0 lead, barel...

            Bruno Fernandes rues a missed chance. London, United Kingdom. Manchester United's nine-match winning run came to a halt after Michael Olise's stunning stoppage-time free-kicked earned Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park. Ten Hag's side were on course to go second in the Premier League table after Bruno Fernandes' first half opener. But Olise's late strike means thay now head to leaders Arsenal eight points adrift and missing key midfielder Casemiro, who will be suspended after picking up a fifth booking of the season late on. United debutant Wout Weghorst nearly opened his account for his new side, directing a first-half header over the crossbar, while a brilliant stop by David De Gea denied the hosts from taking a first half lead. Fernandes handed the visitors the lead just before half-time, and United seemed poised to make it 10 wins in a row in all competitions before Olise levelled. United dominated possession early on but failed to c...

 Sam Bell scored a superb winner nine minutes from the end of extra time to book Bristol City a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win at Swansea. The Robbins substitute cut in from the left and fired past goalkeeper Andy Fisher to settle the replay and reward his club with a home tie against West Brom. It was 20-year-old Bell's first senior goal for the club. Mark Sykes' third goal in two games had put Bristol City ahead against the run of play with a composed finish after a slick move just past the hour, but Swansea substitute Ollie Cooper levelled the scores in the 73rd minute, seconds after coming on. Swansea pressed hard for a second equaliser following Bell's effort, but Kyle Naughton flashed a shot inches wide. It took Swansea seven minutes to fashion the first opportunity-a low drive from the edge of the box by Oliver Ntcham which was saved by Max O'Leary. An inticate move by Russel Martin's side seemed to open up space for Joel Piroe inside ...

                                 Yann Sommer has been tipped to join Bayern Munich. Julian Nagelsmann is anxious to see Bayern Munich's pursuit of Yann Sommer reach a conclusion as the Bundesliga champions prepare to return to action at RB Leipzig on Friday. Bayern have been strongly linked with Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Sommer since Manuel Neuer broke his leg during a skiing trip last month. With Sven Ulreich the only senior goalkeeper in Bayern's squad and Alexander Nubel reportedly reluctant to return from a loan spell at Monaco, Nagelsmann said the club has a duty to sign another shot-stopper last week. Bayern chief executive Oliver Kahn has revealed discussions are ongoing regarding a move for Sommer, and Nagelsmann is eager for the transfer saga to reach a resolution. "I have been a coach long enough to know it's never easy. There are always more than two parties that need to be satisfie...
