Rory McIlroy&nbsp;claimed a share of the first-round lead at the World Tour Championship in Dubai on Thursday as he closed in on equalling Seve Ballesteros' mark of six European Tour Order of Merit crowns.

McIlroy fired a 67 to stand on top of the leaderboard alongside&nbsp;Tyrrell Hatton.

The 35-year-old McIlroy started the season-ending event in Dubai with a healthy lead over South Africa's&nbsp;Thriston Lawrence who endured a nightmare day, signing for a one-over 73 which included five bogeys.

With 2,000 points on offer to the winner, McIlroy only needs a top-ten finish to secure the sixth Race to Dubai crown of his career, matching the tally of Ballesteros.

Playing partners Hatton and Paul Waring, who sealed the biggest victory of his career at last week's Abu Dhabi Championship, hit the front at four under after they each birdied the 14th hole, but the Northern Irishman followed suit shortly after.

Hatton became the first person to reach five under with a birdie at the penultimate hole, only to be matched by McIlroy's 48-foot putt at the same hole to share the lead with Englishman.

"I thought I played well. I hit the ball pretty well. I gave myself plenty of chances, plenty of looks," four-time major champion McIlroy said.

"I want to go on from here and win the golf tournament. I've opened up with a really good score, but I need to go out and play similarly over these next three days, not just to try to win the tournament, but also to try to get the job done in the Race to Dubai.

"I'm under no illusions that that was probably Thriston's worst day. If he goes out and has three good ones, I still need to go out there and play some very solid golf."

Hatton, 33, carded seven birdies and two dropped shots in his round.

Dubai-based Waring reached the turn in 32 before mixing a bogey and birdie on the back nine to sit alone in third at four under.

There are seven players at three under -- Billy Horschel, Matt Wallace, Adam Scott, Alex Fitzpatrick, Niklas Norgaard and Japanese duo Keita Nakajima and Rikuya Hoshino.

Golf: Rory McIlroy shares Dubai lead with Seve Ballesteros mark in sight

Son Heung-min scored a landmark 50th goal for his country to put South Korea a step closer to the World Cup on Thursday as Australia and Saudi Arabia cancelled each other out.

Spurs and South Korean skipper Son missed last month's qualifiers with injury but celebrated his return with a first-half penalty in a 3-1 win at Kuwait.

Victory left South Korea comfortably top of Group B with four wins and a draw after five matches and on course for the 2026 World Cup in North America.

The top two teams in each of the three Asian qualifying groups will reach the showpiece in the United States, Canada and Mexico.&nbsp;

With this phase of qualifying approaching a halfway point, South Korea took a 10th-minute lead in Kuwait when striker Oh Se-hun rose highest to powerfully head home.

Nine minutes later it was 2-0 to the visitors after Son -- playing in his 130th game for South Korea -- won the penalty and then picked himself up to bury it with minimum fuss.

Mohammad Daham struck on the hour to halve the deficit with a delicious half-volley.

But substitute Bae Jun-ho, who had replaced Son, made the game safe for South Korea with their third 14 minutes later when he refiled in at the near post.&nbsp;

In Group C, Saudi Arabia had a goal disallowed in added time in a 0-0 draw against Australia in Melbourne that did neither side any favours in their bid to qualify.

In his first game back in charge following the sacking of Roberto Mancini, Herve Renard thought his visitors had snatched a late winner when Sultan Al-Ghannam fired home from just inside the box in the 93rd minute.

But the flag went up with one of his Saudi teammates offside.

"We had some good opportunities but we have to go give our opponent credit. First half we didn't play very well," said Socceroos coach Tony Popovic.

"We were not very good with the ball while they were sharp and energetic.

"We improved significantly in the second half, which is good," he added.

It left Australia and Saudi Arabia level on six points in their scrap for second place in the group.

China joined them with the same number of points after scoring in the 91st-minute for a crucial 1-0 win at Bahrain.

Zhang Yuning prodded home just minutes after Bahrain had what they thought was a winner of their own ruled out by VAR for offside.

Japan can extend their lead at the top of Group C when they meet Indonesia in Jakarta on Friday.

<h2>Ten-man Iran hold on</h2>

Elsewhere, Iran survived a fightback from North Korea to win 3-2 and cement their spot at the top of Group A with 13 points from a maximum of 15.

Mohammad Mohebi scored twice and Mehdi Ghayedi also netted as Iran went into the break in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, cruising at 3-0 up.

Iran went down to 10 men when Shojae Khalilzadeh was sent off in the 52nd minute for bringing down Ri Jo Guk as he went through on goal.

North Korea made the extra man count to pull two goals back -- one an own goal by Inter Milan's Mehdi Taremi -- but Iran held on for a precious three points.

The Koreans are rooted to the bottom of their six-team group and yet to taste victory in the third qualifying stage.

Teams finishing third and fourth in their groups in this qualifying round go into a further phase of qualifying.

AFC World Cup qualifiers: Son hits 50th South Korea goal in win, Australia-Saudi stalemate

Ruben Amorim believes he is "where I am supposed to be" after his first week as Manchester United's new manager.

The Portuguese boss, who replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag, arrived at the club's Carrington training complex on Monday following a 4-2 win in his final match in charge of Sporting Lisbon.

On Friday, United released a short clip from Amorim's first interview with the club's in-house TV channel showing him looking around a floodlit Old Trafford.

"You watch on TV and you know that it's big and it's impressive, but when you are here you can feel it and I think you feel the history," Amorim said.

"I'm really, really proud to be a Manchester United coach, so it's amazing. It's a real honour to be here."

Told by the interviewer that there is a "weight to the place but it does lift you up", Amorim added: "That's really funny because I feel very relaxed.

"Maybe because it's not gameday. When we have a game I'm a different guy but I really don't feel the weight.

"I'm really excited and I'm quite relaxed you know. I think I am where I am supposed to be. That's the feeling."

Amorim's first match in charge will be away at struggling Ipswich on November 24, following the international break.

United are 13th in the Premier League table after a poor start to the season but are only four points off the top four.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, put in temporary charge of United after Ten Hag's dismissal, on Friday issued an emotional farewell message to the club, where he also starred as a striker.

The former PSV Eindhoven boss, appointed as an assistant coach in July on a two-year contract, had voiced a desire to stay at Old Trafford under Amorim.

But United issued a statement on Monday confirming the 48-year-old would not be part of the new coaching set-up.

IPL 2025 Mega Auction: 574 players set to go under the hammer, including 208 overseas stars

With the high-voltage clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul set to take centre stage on Saturday (Nov 16), the stakes were raised high on Thursday evening when the former slapped his opponent. The two were on the showcase on Thursday evening when Tyson appeared to have slapped his compatriot. However, hours after the confrontation Tyson’s close mate Tom Patti has confirmed the reason for slapping Paul.

<h2>Tyson’s close mate confirms the reason for the slap</h2>

“Jake stepped on Mike’s foot, which prompted the reaction...I was there and Mike just told me,’’ Patti said.

Tyson, 58, hit Paul flush on the cheek with his right hand following the formal weigh-in for Friday's fight at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. A scrum of security swiftly intervened to separate the two fighters following the incident before Tyson was ushered away.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been handed a huge setback in the build-up to the Champions Trophy 2025 on Friday (Nov 15). The International Cricket Council (ICC) has cancelled the trophy tour in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) regions of Skardu, Murree, and Muzaffarabad.

<h2>ICC cancels CT tour</h2>

As learned on Friday, the ICC will not tour the coveted trophy in the sensitive regions of the border as the nations are yet to reach a compromise on the travel-related issues. Despite being the official hosts of the Champions Trophy, PCB has found it difficult to reach an agreement with ICC and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to stage India’s matches in the nation. India informed ICC in the midweek that they won’t be travelling to Pakistan for the CT and the same was then informed by the ICC to PCB.

As reported by WION earlier, the PCB wrote a letter to the ICC and has asked for clarification on why India is not travelling to Pakistan despite other nations having no issues.

<h2>Champions Trophy to be held in hybrid model?</h2>

As things stand, with less than three months to go for the Champions Trophy to start Pakistan is not yet confident of hosting the entire tournament with the Indian team reluctant to travel. Pakistan’s proposal to host India’s matches including the final has been rejected by the BCCI, leaving ICC with three options.

Like 2008, the Champions Trophy could be postponed until a solution is met as the ICC could explore the idea. On the other hand, India’s reluctance to travel could force them out of the tournament if they are forfeited. However, that option looks unlikely due to India’s brand value in cricket and Jay Shah set to become the chairperson of the board of directors of ICC.

The hybrid model remains the best option and likely option to host the Champions Trophy with India’s matches to take place outside Pakistan while the rest of the seven teams play in the nation.

UEFA has appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector to investigate Premier League referee David Coote after a video emerged of him allegedly snorting a white powder during Euro 2024.

It comes after English referees body PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) said it was taking fresh allegations about Coote "very seriously".

The 42-year-old was suspended by the PGMOL on Monday after video footage appeared on social media in which he is seen making disparaging remarks about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Coote's comments about the German are also being investigated by the Football Association.

On Wednesday, another video appeared on the Sun newspaper's website, which it said showed Coote snorting a white powder during Euro 2024 in Germany, where he was officiating.

European football's governing body, UEFA, which had already suspended Coote, has now opened an investigation into his conduct.

"A UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector has been appointed to evaluate a potential violation of the UEFA disciplinary regulations by the referee Mr David Coote," it said in a statement.

"Further information regarding this matter will be made available in due course."

A PGMOL spokesman said on Wednesday that the organisation was aware of the second video.

"We are aware of the allegations and are taking them very seriously. David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation," said a PGMOL spokesman.

"David's welfare continues to be of utmost importance to us and we are committed to providing him with the ongoing necessary support he needs through this period. We are not in a position to comment further at this stage."

UEFA launches investigation against Premier League referee David Coote

India’s star batter Virat Kohli has completed 366 days since his last international hundred, one year to date since his famous knock against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium to help the Men in Blue reach the final of the ODI World Cup. While form has been a concern for the veteran batter, it has been a bitter-sweet year for the former India captain as he prepares to take the field against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Nov 22 in Perth.

<h2>Virat completes one year since the last international ton</h2>

Taking to the field on 15 Nov 2023 against the Kiwis, who have haunted him in the past and present (after a 0-3 Test series defeat), Virat smashed 117 off 113 deliveries to help India reach 397/4. The ton helped India reach the ODI World Cup final before Australia rocked the Men in Blue in the final in Ahmedabad on Nov 19.

Since the World Cup semifinal, the 36-year-old has scored 626 international runs in 28 innings, averaging 23.19 for an innings. After the ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad, he has scored only two fifties for India in all formats while registering four ducks.

While the ODI World Cup final loss came as a huge heartbreak for the&nbsp;star, he would play a match-winning knock in the T20 World Cup final in June to help India lift the coveted trophy for the second time.

<h2>Will Virat end the century drought?</h2>

The Indian batter will be next in action on Nov 22 when India face Australia in the opening contest of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Over the years he has a great record against Australia, who are also his favourite Test opponent. He has scored 1352 runs in 25 innings Down Under, also being his favourite away territory. With 2042 runs in 44 innings, Aussies have always been his favoured red-ball opponents, the only nation against whom he has scored more than 2000 Test runs.

Overall, conditions and opponents favour the veteran and it should not be a surprise if he ends his century drought at the home of the World Test Championship (WTC) holders.
