|
The Premier League returned while Dominic Thiem outlasted Alexander Zverev to win the US Open men's title.
The Premier League was back with a bang this weekend as Liverpool launched their title defence with a thrilling 4-3 win against Leeds.
Marcelo Bielsa's newly-promoted Leeds helped serve up an opening-day treat at Anfield, where they were making their first top-flight appearance in 16 years.
Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Newcastle all secured opening wins on Saturday, while on Sunday, Leicester launched their 2020/21 campaign with victory at West Brom and Everton won at Tottenham for the first time since 2008.
England clinched an unlikely 24-run win against Australia, who collapsed from 144 for two to 207 all out at Old Trafford, to level the One-Day International series at 1-1.
