Chelsea v Manchester United: 2018 FA Cup final – live!

0

86 min: Hazard and Fabregas take the ball for a walk down the right. Their perambulations eat up 60 seconds or so.

85 min: Sanchez sends a low fizzer wide left from 20 yards. He wants a corner for a deflection – he is livid – but he’s not going to get it.

0
• Thrilling finale sees Team Sky cyclist triumph by six seconds
• Yates takes bonus for second place and extends overall lead

Owen Farrell steers Saracens to Premiership final in blitz over Wasps

0

• Saracens 57-33 Wasps
• Farrell kicks 27 points to back up Saracens’ try spree

Normal service has been resumed. Saracens are back in the Premiership final. The mischievous had wondered whether they were a fading force, surrendering their Premiership title last season and suffering an unprecedented slump in the middle of this, but they have played their way back into form. Wasps were unable to cope.

The visitors managed five tries, some spectacular in a predictably exhilarating festival of running rugby, but they were 20-0 down in the first quarter and 30-5 down at the start of the second half, unable to deal with a Saracens masterclass. None was more masterful than Owen Farrell, who kicked 11 from 11 for a haul of 27 points, a record for a play-off. It was good news all round for Eddie Jones.

0
• Nadal closes on eighth title in Rome with 7-6 (4) 6-3 win
• Djokovic looked back to near his best despite defeat

Almost a year to the day since the 50th match of their rivalry – the longest in the Open era – Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic collided gloriously again under a beating sun in Rome, and the Spaniard was stretched to the limit to preserve his aura on clay a week before the French Open.

If Nadal wins his eighth Italian Open title on Sunday he will be back at No1 in the world; if he loses, the absent Roger Federer will stay at the top until 24 June – two days before the Wimbledon seedings are announced.

Brilliant Ben Barba guides St Helens to battling win over Widnes

0

• Widnes 18-38 St Helens
• Regan Grace and Ryan Morgan touch down twice for St Helens

This performance by St Helens will hardly be remembered as the most eye-catching of Justin Holbrook’s first year in charge but, on the anniversary of his arrival, it perhaps best illustrated the transformation of the club under his tenure.

The opening Super League game of the Magic Weekend will hardly take up too much time on the highlights package, but for the Super League leaders it underlined the vital trait of being able to win even when they are not playing to their potential.
