Milan giants play out dull Italian Cup semifinal stalemate
AC Milan and Inter Milan played out a disappointing goalless derby draw in the first leg of their Italian Cup semifinal on Tuesday. Milan, the nominal home side at a boisterous San Siro, had the better of the play and opportunities but could not convert their chances into goals and head into next month's second leg level with their local rivals. The away goals rule is still in force in the Italian Cup meaning Milan will have a small advantage when they are hosted by Inter for the decisive clash. "We played well, it was difficult but we have another leg to play," said Theo Hernandez. "We're giving our all and having a great season. We need to keep going and win. We had a lot of chances, but if you don't score you're not going to win."
Middlesbrough knock out Tottenham Hotspur but Manchester City and Crystal Palace progress in FA Cup
Tottenham Hotspur suffered an FA Cup upset at the hands of Championship Middlesbrough on Tuesday losing 1-0 after extra time in the fifth round at the Riverside Stadium to Chris Wilder's side. Premier League leaders Manchester City and Crystal Palace both beat lower division opponents to take their place in the quarterfinals. Josh Coburn drilled in the decisive goal in the 107th minute as Middlesbrough followed up their humbling of Manchester United in the previous round with another night to remember. It was another setback for Tottenham manager Antonio Conte who just last week had questioned his future after the 1-0 defeat to Burnley in the Premier League. Conte fielded a full-strength side, sticking with the starting eleven which won 4-0 at Leeds United in the league on Saturday but Middlesbrough were good value for the win.
Women's ODI World Cup: 171 against Australia is the standard I have set for myself, says Harmanpreet Kaur
Harmanpreet Kaur, who has battled a prolonged rough patch, feels her 171 against Australia in the 2017 World Cup overshadowed her many "crucial" knocks of 30 and 40, which followed that "benchmark-setting" innings. Two days before the ODI World Cup begins in New Zealand, the vice-captain added that critics often forget her low-scoring but important knocks because of one standout performance. "I know people talk more about my 171-knock and that is a standard I have set for myself, maybe that's why my small knocks of 30-40 runs, which are crucial to the team, are not given importance," Kaur said during a virtual press conference on Wednesday.
