Tottenham Hotspur moved into the Premier League’s top four as they returned to form with a 2-0 home win over West Ham United that left their London rivals in the bottom three on Sunday. There was little to separate the sides in a forgettable first half but the hosts stepped up the pace after the interval with goals by Emerson Royal and substitute Son Heung-min. It was an important win for Spurs after defeat at Leicester City and a midweek loss away to AC Milan in the Champions League as they leapfrogged Newcastle United in the table.

Inspired by Saurabh bhaiya, Varun Tomar wins India first medal at the ISSF Cairo World Cup

Munkhbayar Dorjsuren looked like she could barely watch. The fight to claim the bronze medal in the men’s 10m air pistol event at the ISSF Cairo World Cup had boiled down to a single shot. It was a winner-takes-all shoot-off between two of Dorjsuren’s wards in the Indian shooting team: 21-year-old Sarabjot Singh and 19-year-old Varun Tomar. They had jockeyed for the last medal spot throughout the ranking match – with Sarabjot in third after 10 shots, Tomar leapfrogging him by the 15th, before being deadlocked at 250.6 after 25 shots to decide the bronze medal. In one shot, one of the two would take home India’s first medal at the Cairo World Cup while the other would return empty-handed. Eventually, it was Tomar’s 10.3 that helped him pip his senior compatriot by a margin of 0.2. “He’s ...

West Indies (-0.601), who have played all their group matches and are on four points, can still qualify for the semifinals if India (+0.205), also on four points, lose to Ireland by a huge margin, denting their net run rate and Pakistan, who are on two points also go down to England. Bidding to build on their win over Ireland, the Windies opted to bat and posted a below-par 116-6 at Boland Park. Skipper Hayley Matthews took key Pakistan wickets early and late in the innings to inspire her side to a dramatic victory.

Neymar leaves pitch injured in PSG’s match against Lille

PSG forward Neymar was forced off the pitch on a stretcher Sunday after twisting his right ankle in a hard-fought 4-3 win against Lille in the French league. Neymar picked up the injury at the start of the second half after the Brazil forward scored PSG’s second goal before the interval. PSG led 2-1 when Neymar was injured following contact with Lille’s Benjamin Andre. PSG has been struggling since the start of the year, with stars Neymar and Lionel Messi underperforming. Neymar has been on the end of sharp criticism for a perceived lack of commitment after French media reported that he attended a poker tournament and dined at a fast-food restaurant a day after PSG lost to Bayern Munich 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League round of 16. Neymar, who damaged the same ankle a...

Lionel Messi once again showed the world why he is considered to be one of the greatest players to ever lace up his boots, scoring from a free kick right at the death to give Paris Saint Germain (PSG) a narrow 4-3 victory against Lille on Sunday. Messi, who was kept uncharacteristically quiet by the Lille defense throughout the match, stepped up when it mattered as his set piece beat the wall, struck the post and went in, giving Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier no chance of saving it.
