    Real Socieded head coach Imanol Alguacil celebrates after they beat Athletic Bilbao to secure long-awaited trophy; celebrations gone wrong.

    SOCCER: Can't decide whether this is the sort of thing we want to see from our managers, or is veering too much into Phil Brown/Alan Pardew territory.

    SOCCER: This Athletic Bilbao supporter should have known it wasn't going to be his team's day when this happened.
    SOCCER: One consolation for Los Leones fans is that Real Sociedad may only have two weeks to enjoy their status as cup-holders.

    SOCCER: Austin's scrimmage against Houston Dynamo ended in a 3-2 defeat. However, Tomas Pochettino did have the honour of scoring the franchise's first-ever goal against MLS opposition with this beauty.

    SOCCER: We've all got carried away in the moment and tried to do things we shouldn't, or in the case of Sheffield United's Daniel Jebbison, quite blatantly can't.
    SOCCER: Don't worry son, daddy's going to leave work early to help celebrate your birthday.
    RACING: The joy you get from buying a horse for £600 and seeing it win a Grade 1 race.
    ROWING: It was the boat race yesterday apparently. For those who don't want to know the result, look away now.
