Football: Premier League
Chelsea end Arsenal’s title hopes with a thumping win at Stamford Bridge
Premier League leaders Chelsea destroyed Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon in the live game, leaving The Gunners down in fourth-place behind Spurs and Man City. That’s got to hurt! To rub salt into the wounds, Cesc Fabregas scored The Blues’ third.
Rugby Union: Six Nations
Scots upset Irish at Murrayfield
The curtain went up on what promises to be the most entertaining Six Nations tournament yet, and what a start we got. Scotland, given no hope before the off, despite enjoying home advantage, put Ireland to the sword in the tightest of matches. 27-22 was the final-score, after a spirited second-half fight-back from the visitors.
Boxing: Eubank vs Quinlan
Eubank wins a world title
Horse Racing: Tied Cottage Chase
Douvan shaping up nicely
Willie Mullins’ super-star Douvan stretched his record to a perfect 13 with victory in the Tied Cottage Chase on Sunday. The win was expected, of course, but it was a pleasure to see such a great of the game in action and the Cheltenham Festival can’t come quick enough.
Golf: Dubai Desert Classic
Garcia wins a thriller
Spaniard Sergio Garcia put in a wining effort in the Dubai Desert Classic, finishing 19 under-par ahead on Stenson, who led the chasing pack three-shots off the pace. Garcia told fans that it will hopefully be the beginning of a big year.
