Kraigg Brathwaite batted and batted and batted and then batted some more to thwart any chances of an England win. The home side had been under pressure with Joe Root and Ben Stokes scoring centuries in the first innings but Brathwaite had other ideas.

Diogo Jota’s late winning goal put a stop to Nottingham Forest’s remarkable run in the FA Cup as Liverpool took their place in the 2021/22 FA Cup. The Reds started well and should have taken the lead through Roberto Firmino in the first half, but the forward squandered a one-on-one opportunity by attempting to lift the ball over goalkeeper Ethan Horvath and failing miserably. The match settled into a rhythm, which the Championship side threatened to break in the 76th minute, when, released down the right flank, Brennan Johnson laid the ball on a plate for Philip Zinckernagel with an inch-perfect cross, but the attacker failed to guide…

Harry Kane continued to prove his credentials as a remarkable playmaker-scorer…

The Blaugrana humiliated the league leaders 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, sending warning signs across Europe over the potential of the side under Xavi Hernandez. Federico Valverde played as a False 9 in the absence…
