Rugby League: Hull FC 22 - 22 Leopards 22

Image
Leigh went top of the Super League after an extra-time draw with Hull FC Their perfect start to the season is over, but they still climbed to the top of Super League after an electrifying draw with Hull FC at the MKM Stadium. Author - Peter Grainger It looked like the Leopards had the game under control when they led 12-6, with Hull down to 11 men after Aidan Sezer and Jordan Rapana were both sin-binned within five minutes. But the hosts refused to lie down, twice levelling the contest in a thrilling second half through Harvey Barron and Herman Ese'ese. Each time, Leigh hit back, with Lachlan Lam setting up David Armstrong for two tries to restore their advantage. Then, with time running out, Lewis Martin crossed in the corner to hand Sezer a shot at victory. But his conversion hit the post, and neither side could land a golden point winner in extra time.

Image
Manchester United secured their spot in the FA Cup semi-final after a dramatic 4-3 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. You can watch the full match in the video below. Video from  Emirates FA Cup YouTube channel Before the game, everyone was talking about how strong Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool team was, but from the start, it was United who came out swinging with some serious attacking moves. Just 10 minutes in, Alejandro Garnacho took a shot that got deflected, Caoimhin Kelleher tried to save it, but it ended up right in the path of Scott McTominay. Old Trafford erupted.  Liverpool fought back hard , and just before halftime, they managed to sneak in a couple of goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah, putting them at half-time. The second half was tense, with both teams hunting for that next crucial goal. It wasn't until the home side made some attacking changes, thanks to Ten Hag's tactical moves, that the home side started to put some pressure. They final...

GMP: Cocaine dealer rumbled by Salford's anti-gang cops

Image
A cocaine dealer from Weaste has been jailed after GMP's anti-gang cops in Salford caught him in a car with ketamine, before they went on to uncover the raft of class A, B, and C drugs he intended to sell. What happened then? Luke Oliver (28) became the latest to be rumbled by officers from our Operation Naseby disruption taskforce that has helped drive down shootings in the city by over 70% since its inception two years ago after 300 arrests, over 300 car seizures, nearly 130 house searches, and around 50kilos of drugs recovered. Manchester Crown Court heard how Oliver was spotted by patrols in Weaste in April in a vehicle linked to a cannabis dealer who the Op Naseby team had recently helped to jail. Officers stopped the black Volkswagen Golf and spotted cash and observed that Oliver – the sole occupant of the car – appeared nervous and looked as though he had taken drugs. During a subsequent search of the vehicle – under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act – they found fiv...

Football: Lincoln City 4 - 2 Bolton Wanderers

Image
Lincoln all but ended Bolton’s play-off ambitions on Easter Monday. This was achieved with a pulsating 4-2 win at the LNER Stadium, where veteran striker James Collins struck twice. Author - Sophie T Erik Ring and Reeco Hackett were also on the scoresheet for the hosts. Jay Matete and Alex Murphy replied for Bolton, who slipped to a fourth straight defeat at the worst possible time. The Imps took an early lead when Ring’s inswinging cross, delivered from a short corner routine, sailed through a crowded box and nestled into the far corner of Nathan Baxter’s net. Ben House went close to doubling the advantage, but Baxter saved well from his flicked effort. Moments later, Lincoln were awarded a penalty after Ethan Erhahon was bundled over by David Abimbola.  Collins then stepped up and lashed the spot-kick into the roof of the net to make it 2-0 after just 17 minutes.

Football: Stockport County 2 - 1 Huddersfield Town

Image
Stockport County confirmed their place in the play-offs This was secured with a late victory over a Huddersfield Town side that was reduced to ten men. Author- Josh D A closer look at what happened at Edgeley Park Josh Koroma gave the visitors the lead just after the hour, finding too much space on the edge of the box before drilling past Corey Addai. But County responded with resilience, skipper Fraser Horsfall heading home from an Ollie Norwood corner to draw the hosts level. The momentum swung firmly in County’s favour in the closing stages when they were awarded a penalty in the 86th minute. Norwood stepped up and calmly converted, sending Addai the wrong way to complete the turnaround. Best County reaction to the win Gary, a Stockport season ticket holder was delighted with the win, saying: "Really pleased that we came from behind and managed to win. Gutted that we can't finish in the automatic spots but finishing in the play-off places is still great. Onwards now. Ho...

Football: Wigan Atheltic 1 - 0 Rotherham United

Image
Wigan Athletic will be playing League One football next season  James Carragher's first-half header gave his side a 1-0 victory over Rotherham that mathematically secured their League One safety with three matches left to play. Author - Amy W Almost an unchanged squad for Wigan For the third game running, the Wigan Athletic boss picked an unchanged starting side. The only alteration in the entire squad saw Dion Rankine come in for former Joe Hungbo on the bench. How the game started and how Wigan took the lead After a relatively dour first half-hour in Wigan, Latics effectively took control of the match. First, Maleace Asamoah had an effort saved by Dillon Phillips. The Millers goalkeeper was left helpless nine minutes before the interval, as Owen Dale’s deep corner was met by Carragher, who headed in at the far post.
