VILLARREAL 1-1 BARCELONA - PETE JENSON AT ESTADIO DE LA CERAMICA: Lionel Messi saved a point for Barcelona with a last minute free-kick but it might not be enough to save their season in La Liga as they fell five points behind Real Madrid having played a game more. They were lacklustre for long spells in the newly-renamed Estadio de le Ceramica and it was no surprise when Villarreal took the lead on 50 minutes after Lucas Digne gave the ball away high up the pitch. The home side swept forward and Nicola Sansone applied the finishing touch at the far post from Alexandre Pato’s pass despite Neymar’s sprint back to block the shot.

Terry sent off on first-team return but Blues cruise through in FA Cup as hot-shot Pedro, Batshuayi and Willian punish Peterborough

RALPH ELLIS AT THE CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Whatever Cardiff get paid by BBC Wales for putting their FA Cup games on live TV it isn't enough. If it was billions, it still wouldn't be. For the second year in a row they got knocked out of the third round in front of the ghostly atmosphere of a deserted stadium as a bizarre kick off time made thousands stay away. Goals by Stefan Johansen and 16-year-old prodigy Ryan Sessegnon took Fulham through, deservedly even though Cardiff had taken the lead with an eighth minute deflected Anthony Pilkington free kick.

Return of hired gun Morgan: He's the free spirit who earns a six-figure salary and now he's breezing back after four months off
RICHARD GIBSON: Eoin Morgan will lead an England team on to a cricket field on Tuesday. It has been a while.

The 50-over warm-up match versus India A at Mumbai’s resplendent Brabourne Stadium ends a four-month exile, one largely self-imposed by Morgan’s decision to skip the autumn tour of Bangladesh on security grounds, and one which jeopardised his authority as the team’s leader.

Sure you don't want to keep this one? Rooney appears to offer shirt swap after United win... but why did Evans refuse?
Wayne Rooney wrote his name into more history books on Saturday afternoon by scoring his 249th goal for Manchester United, thus equalling the all-time record held by Sir Bobby Charlton. His goal against Reading may have been scrappy — it went in off of his knee — but it is surely one the Manchester United and England captain will remember for years to come. And it goes without saying the shirt he wore when he matched the record would be a treasured. Try telling that to Reading midfielder George Evans, who appeared to reject the chance to own the shirt any Manchester United fan would move mountains to own.
