Manchester United did little to turn down the noise surrounding manager Erik Ten Hag's future after an ultimately dramatic but largely uninspiring 1-1 draw at Brentford. United looked to have turned a lifeless display into an unlikely three points after Mason Mount climbed off the bench to fire them ahead six minutes into stoppage time. But Brentford equalised less than three minutes later through Kristoffer Ajer to snatch a point which was the least they deserved.

Jack Crowley scored a second-half try and kicked the clinching 74th-minute penalty in Munster's United Rugby Championship win over Cardiff at Thomond Park.

Laurel River turned the Dubai World Cup into a procession when running out a wide-margin winner for local trainer Bhupat Seemar and Cork jockey Tadhg O'Shea. Formerly trained by Bob Baffert, the Juddmonte-owned six-year-old was trying the 10-furlong trip for the first time but with two furlongs to run had the race won. The likes of Derma Sotogake, Ushba Tesoro, Newgate and Kabirkhan had garnered most of the pre-race talk, with Laurel River almost sneaking in under the radar.
