Weekend in pictures: Ibrahimovic, Scotland & Frodon the winners
Best pics from the weekend’s sport
There was barely time for punters to catch breath over the course of the weekend as we shot from one pulsating match to the next. And there were plenty of big priced upsets along the way, just to keep Coral punters smiling.
Ibrahimovic starred on Sunday as Man Utd won the League Cup, with the odd goal in five vs Southampton at Wembley. Scotland were again the surprise package in Saturday’s Six Nations matches, beating Wales at Murrayfield, while Frodon lived up to expectations in a cracker at Kempton.
Below you will find a selection of the best pictures from the weekend’s results, which tell the story better than we could…..
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a double at Wembley on Sunday, including a late winner, to gift Manchester United the EFL Cup. The fans’ favourite got the first and last goal of the day to squash a Saints fight-back.
Scotland’s Huw Jones celebrates victory against Wales in the RBS 6 Nations at Murrayfield on Saturday. The Thistle ran-out 29-13 winners in a thrilling contest, again upsetting the odds on-route to victory. They remain in the hunt after three games played.
Gavin McDonnell came close to upsetting red-hot favourite Rey Vargas in their WBC Super Bantamweight bout at Hull Ice Arena on Saturday evening. The Englishman lost on a points decision, with two judges going against him, while one marked it down as a draw. He’ll come again, we’re sure.
Frodon, ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies, on his way to winning a grade two novices’ chase at Kempton on Saturday. He was well-backed before the off, and didn’t let punters down, beating Gold Present into second.
Mo Farah made headlines for the wrong reasons at the weekend as he had to come out and tell fans that he was a clean athlete after a leaked report suggested his American coach may have broken anti-doping rules. Farah called it frustrating.
