April 26, 2021 Top Three Split By Two Points In Spain After Leaders Atletico Lose To Bilbao

Top Three Split By Two Points In Spain After Leaders Atletico Lose To Bilbao

Inigo Martinez's late header threw La Liga's title race even further open as leaders Atletico Madrid lost at Athletic Bilbao.

Alex Berenguer scored early for the hosts but Stefan Savic looked to have rescued a point until Martinez struck.

Atletico remain two points above both Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Sevilla a point further back in fourth.

But Barca, winners earlier on Sunday at Villarreal, have a game in hand and can go top by beating Granada on Thursday.

Atletico paid the price for a poor first half against a Bilbao side that had lost two Copa del Rey finals - the delayed 2020 showpiece to Real Sociedad and the 2021 edition to Barca - this month.

April 26, 2021 Man City Win Fourth Consecutive Carabao Cup Title

Man City Win Fourth Consecutive Carabao Cup Title

Manchester City won the League Cup for a record-equalling fourth time in succession with a deserved victory over a disappointing Tottenham Hotspur side at Wembley.

City defender Aymeric Laporte, arguably fortunate to be on the pitch after escaping a yellow card in the first half before being cautioned after the break, rose above Spurs substitute Moussa Sissoko to head home Kevin de Bruyne's free-kick eight minutes from time.

It was appropriate reward for City creating a host of chances and dominating Spurs, who did not enjoy any sort of positive reaction from sacking manager Jose Mourinho on Monday and replacing him with caretaker Ryan Mason.

The final was played in front of 8,000 supporters, including 2,000 from each club - and it was a delight to hear noise inside Wembley's vast arena once more.

City's victory equalled Liverpool's achievement in the early 1980s of winning the competition four years in a row, as well as matching the Reds' overall tally of eight triumphs.

Ashleigh Barty Fights Back To Win Stuttgart Open

World number one Ashleigh Barty beat Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the Stuttgart Open to clinch her third WTA title of 2021.

The 25-year-old Australian fought back from a set down for the third time in as many matches in Germany to beat fifth seed Sabalenka 3-6 6-0 6-3.

Barty took 23 minutes to win the second set and, while she was broken at 3-1 in the third, she was not to be denied.

The title is just her second on clay after winning the 2019 French Open.

Sabalenka, 22, made Barty work in the deciding set despite the Belarusian playing with strapping on her right leg after needing a medical time out after the second set.

Barty's clay-court triumph in Germany follows title wins on the hard courts of the Miami Open and Yarra Valley Classic.

Rafael Nadal Wins 12th Barcelona Open Title

Rafael Nadal won his 12th Barcelona Open title, saving a match point in a thrilling three-set victory over Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Nadal trailed 4-2 in the opener but recovered, breaking twice to take it.

World number five Tsitsipas showed great grit in the second set, saving two match points in game 10 game before levelling the match on a tie-break.

In a tight third set, Nadal faced a match point before piling on the pressure to win 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 7-5.

The victory, which took three hours 38 minutes, gave the 34-year-old his 61st clay court title and came against an in-form opponent who had won his maiden Masters crown in Monte Carlo last week.

Meanwhile, in the Belgrade clay court final, Italy's Matteo Berrettini won his fourth career title.

The world number 10 beat Russia's Aslan Karatsev, who had stunned Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals 6-1 3-6 7-6 (7-0).
