Ciryl ‘Bon Gamin’ Gane…

Saturday’s Premier League results were all closely contested fixtures, each balancing on knife edges waiting for that one moment of magic to win the game or rescue a point for the teams involved.

It’s getting to the point where I no longer need to state that Manchester City won since it’s becoming such a common occurrence. Nevertheless, City dominated German side Borussia Mönchengladbach in their first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 fixture, winning 2-0 off the back of goals from Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus.

With the series tied at 1-1 after England got demolished by India in the second test, they would have been hoping for some sort of redemption going into this pivotal third test. However, a terrible batting display saw England get, once again, torn apart by India’s spin bowlers (Axar 6-38, Ashwin 3-26) going all out for just 112 in 48.4 overs. India, on the other hand, are already within just 13 runs of England’s pathetic…

Sunday’s Premier League results were big matches in terms of the race for European qualification as well as the relegation battle. Could the Hammers beat Spurs and continue their push for top 4?

Well, it’s fair to say I got my prediction slightly wrong. Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis caused a huge UFC upset early Saturday morning when a devastating right uppercut finished Curtis ‘Razor’ Blaydes at minute 3:34 of the second round. As the +350 underdog going into the fight, it would be right to say that the result of the bout was beyond a huge UFC upset. In fact, it’s the biggest UFC main event upset…

Whilst many people in Britain were asleep at 5 am on Saturday morning, a fight was brewing at UFC 258 it looked as though, for a slight moment, that the challenger Gilbert Burns was about to put Kamaru Usman to sleep himself.
