EPL: Manchester United too good for Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool revival rolls on

Manchester United dealt a blow to Tottenham's Premier League title aspirations with a dominant 2-0 win at Old Trafford, while Liverpool's upturn continued with a 1-0 victory over West Ham on Wednesday. Chelsea's winning run came to an end in a 0-0 draw at Brentford, which allowed Newcastle to close within two points of the top four with a 1-0 win over Everton. United are now just one point off the Champions League places and could leapfrog Chelsea when the sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Saturday after their most impressive display under Erik ten Hag.

Superb Miguel Almiron strike sees improving Newcastle United beat Everton

Newcastle United forward Miguel Almiron scored a superb first- half goal to secure a 1-0 win over toothless Everton in their Premier League fixture at St James' Park on Wednesday. Paraguay international Almiron curled a shot from the edge of the box into the top corner just past the half-hour mark as the sixth-placed home side claimed a fourth win of the campaign and moved to 18 points from 11 games. It was a third defeat in succession for Everton, who had striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the starting lineup for the first time this season but lacked the quality on the ball to trouble the hosts.

EPL: Brentford hold Chelsea to 0-0 draw

Brentford striker Ivan Toney, bidding for inclusion in Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad, kept the Chelsea defence busy and had his best opportunity in the ninth minute, forcing Kepa Arrizabalaga into a leaping save to tip the ball over. Winger Bryan Mbeumo should have put Brentford ahead early in the second half but his point-blank shot went straight to the in-form Chelsea keeper.

T20 World Cup: Test of India's new template

Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri looked to bring in their own brand of daredevilry to the format. While Dhoni’s tactic was always about stretching the game as far as possible and stifling the opposition in a pressure-cooker situation, Kohli preferred an in-yourface attacking approach from Ball 1. During his partnership with Shastri, we saw the influx of specialists — be it out-and-out pace or wrist spin. It worked for a while but went bust in UAE last year as India failed to go beyond the group stage, which prompted a regime change.
