    Jesse Lingard’s signing pays dividends, while Christian Pulisic finds himself out in the cold at Chelsea.

    SOCCER: West Ham United had to go to great lengths to earn their first penalty of the season, bringing in someone from spot-kick-earning specialists Manchester United.

    SOCCER: Ravel Morrison is one of the game's biggest wasted talents. However, Sir Alex Ferguson still has kind words for the former Manchester United midfielder.
    SOCCER: Napoli manager Genarro Gattuso's beard was gone at the weekend, with a spot of home shaving leaving him with this moustache and a string of social media mickey-takes. Thankfully, he was straight into the barbers on Monday.

    SOCCER: Staying in Serie A, AS Roma will become the first Italian team to sport a New Balance kit.

    CRICKET: Virat Kohli wasted no time posting the celebrations after India squared the Test series against England.

    BOXING: Manny Pacquiao's next fight has yet to be announced but he's already putting in the work.
