Lisa Ashton claimed a shock victory the Betfred Women’s World Matchplay after surviving 11 match darts to defeat Fallon Sherrock in a final-leg thriller in Blackpool.

Ashton opened with an 85 finish in the opening leg and added a 15-dart break to grab early control of a tight contest, only for Sherrock to deliver a 13-dart hold to spark a run of…

Khamzat Chimaev is now just a few weeks away from finally fighting for a UFC title when he takes on Dricus Du Plessis in the UFC 319 main event.When Khamzat Chimaev first burst onto the scene in the UFC in 2020, it seemed inevitable that ‘Borz’ would go on to compete for at least one UFC title.Despite that, the Chechen’s career began to stall as he continued to run into several health complications and at one point even briefly retired because of his ongoing concerns.Fortunately though, Chimaev returned last October at UFC 308 and earned a title shot against Dricus…

There were a couple of moments in the first-half of last night’s game against West Ham which summed up Rasmus Hojlund.In the first, he showed strength, speed and aggression to get himself into a shooting position and smashed a shot against the outside of the post.The second was far easier but he ballooned the effort over the bar, much to the frustration of head coach Ruben Amorim.With rumours around Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins in particular refusing to die down, United face a stark choice.Do they risk heading into the meat of the season with Hojlund as their number one striker,…

Fantasy football is a game of minuscule samples. Every fantasy season is just 17 weeks, and a player’s performance in a given week is often decided by a single play. Random variance can easily have a huge impact on a player’s fantasy ranking for a significant stretch of any given season. With this in mind, it’s important to be skeptical of stats that follow the trend of “X player scored Y points in this Z-game stretch of the season.” Taking the already small sample of an NFL season and slicing it up further is a recipe for misleading data. One…
