Mateo Kovacic scored twice as Manchester City clinched a dramatic 3-2 win against Fulham on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's side suffered a first-half shock when Andreas Pereira put Fulham ahead at the Etihad Stadium.

But Kovacic, filling in for the injured Rodri, struck either side of half-time to settle City's nerves.

The Croatian midfielder's brace was followed by Jeremy Doku's blistering strike before Rodrigo Muniz netted Fulham's second to set up a tense finish.

City remain unbeaten in their first 10 games in all competitions this season, with five wins from seven league matches putting them firmly in contention for a fifth successive title.

They sit in second place, one point behind leaders Liverpool after ending a two-match winless run in the top-flight.

Questions have been asked over how City will cope without the influential Rodri after the Spain international was ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

But while Guardiola may have been concerned at how Fulham were able to take control for spells, in Kovacic they have an able deputy.

City started strongly with Ilkay Gundogan driving just wide and Erling Haaland shooting across the face of goal.

Haaland also had a free-kick blocked and then headed at Bernardo Leno before City were caught napping on Fulham's first attack as Adama Traore broke away from Rico Lewis.

The Spaniard should have punished City but was denied by the feet of Ederson.

City switched off again in 26th minute and this time were made to pay.

They failed to deal with a deep cross from Antonee Robinson and the ball was worked inside to Raul Jimenez, whose clever backheel flick dropped perfectly for Pereira to volley home.

Fulham should have increased their lead moments later as Alex Iwobi teed up Traore but again the former Wolves man erred, scooping over the bar as Ederson closed in.

The Cottagers were to rue their misses as City began their fightback when Kovacic levelled just after the half-hour mark.

Kovacic drove in from the edge of the box, via a deflection off Joachim Anderson, after a corner fell to him invitingly.

The former Chelsea star put City ahead with an assured finish two minutes after the break.

Silva created the chance with a nice lay-off and Kovacic did the rest, beating Sander Berge with a nice touch and curling in a shot from 18 yards.

Doku bagged the vital third goal in the 82nd minute as he cut inside from the left and rattled a shot into the top corner.

Fulham made City work until the end as Muniz turned to score with a deflected shot two minutes from full-time.

Premier League: Man City sink Fulham to get title bid back on track; Arsenal beat resolute Southampton

Scoring a staggering 973 runs in a single IPL season, Virat Kohli redefined the boundaries of batting excellence and set a benchmark that seems destined to stand the test of time.

One of the most remarkable chapters in Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) illustrious journey is their extraordinary winning streak, which spanned an impressive 10 games across the IPL 2014 and 2015 seasons.

Chris Gayle's monumental century in the 2013 IPL season stands as a testament to his unparalleled prowess and sheer dominance with the bat. His blistering knock, achieved in a mere 30 balls, rewrote the record books and etched his name in the annals of cricketing history.

Joseph's astounding figures of 6/12 from just 3.4 overs not only secured victory for the Mumbai Indians but also displayed his name in the IPL history. By surpassing Sohail Tanvir's erstwhile record figures of 6/14, achieved in the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008.

In a breathtaking display of power-hitting, Jaiswal engrave his name in the IPL history by smashing the fastest fifty ever recorded in the tournament, achieving this remarkable milestone in a mere 13 balls.

Unbreakable IPL Records

5 World Cup Records Unlikely to be Broken

Most Runs in a single edition of the tournament

With increase in matches, one can expect the record of total runs accumulated in a single edition to be challenged. Currently, the record belongs to Virat Kohli who scored 319 runs in 6 matches in the 2014 edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

First team to win all ICC Trophies at the same time

In the Caribbean this year they have the opportunity to become the first team in history to hold the ICC Trophies in all three formats of the game at the same time if they manage to win the 2024 T20 World Cup.

David Warne will look to get the record of most catches by a fielder in his name as he gears up to play another T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma and Glenn Maxwell are also in the running for the pole position as they both are joint-fourth in the list with 16 catches each.

With Namibia's Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton setting the fastest overall T20 century at just 33 balls this year, the record for fastest hundred could very well be under threat. With the expanded teams in this edition and the high strike-rates witnessed already this year, expect this record to be broken in this edition.

Virat Kohli has scored 103 fours in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and is just behind Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardena’s 111 fours. Kohli already holds the record for the highest run tally in the tournament, and the chase master will aim to add another accolade to his name in this edition.

IND vs BAN: Blow for India as Shivam Dube gets ruled out of T20I series; Tilak Varma roped in as replacement

Megan Schutt on Saturday equalled the highest number of wickets for a bowler in Women's T20 World Cup as she helped Australia begin their title defence with a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka.

The pace bowler returned figures of 3-12 in Sharjah's extreme heat to move level with former South African quick Shabnim Ismail on 43 wickets in the tournament.

Schutt's efforts kept Sri Lanka down to 93-7, a total the Australian batters overhauled with 34 balls to spare after losing four wickets.

Opener Beth Mooney, player of the tournament in the 2023 edition, hit an unbeaten 43 and took regular drink breaks to beat the heat.

"In the heat it was tough," player of the match Schutt said.

"I think Moons lost about 16 kilos out there. I think we've finally acclimatised because I didn't feel like I would die today. We've played in hot conditions before. It is what it is, got to suck up and get on with it."

Sri Lanka slumped to their second loss in the tournament and are still looking for their first victory against Australia in women's T20 matches.

The Sri Lankans elected to bat first but got their first runs on the 16th ball before Schutt sent back opener Vishmi Gunaratne out for a duck.

<h2>Disciplined attack</h2>

The Sri Lankan batters found it tough to score against a disciplined attack and Sophie Molineux got two wickets with her left-arm spin to further dent the opposition.

"We are struggling on these tracks with low turn and bounce," Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu said.&nbsp;

"Our first four batters struggled and that cost us. I hope we will improve in our next game (against India on Wednesday) and our girls will perform well in Dubai."

Schutt took two wickets on two balls in the final over to reach 43 wickets in 25 matches of the tournament before Inoshi Priyadharshani avoided the hat-trick.

South African Ismail claimed 43 wickets in 32 T20 matches before her retirement last year.

Sri Lanka hurt Australia's reply with key wickets including when Udeshika Prabodhani bowled skipper Alyssa Healy for four in the first over.

Kavisha Dilhari's direct throw from covers got Georgia Wareham&nbsp;run out on three and six-time winners Australia briefly looked in trouble at 35-3 when Sugandika Kumari bowled Ellyse Perry&nbsp;for 17.

The left-handed Mooney put on 43 runs with Ashleigh Gardner, who fell for 12, and Phoebe Litchfield made nine not out.

Australia remain favourites for their seventh title in the tournament -- their first appearance since the retirement of four-time winning captain Meg Lanning.&nbsp;

Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Schutt, Mooney help Australia beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets

Diogo Jota's early goal was enough to give Liverpool a tight 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Saturday and ensure the Reds go into the international break top of the Premier League, though goalkeeper Alisson was forced off injured late on.

Palace had the ball in the net inside 30 seconds after Ismaila Sarr got in behind Kostas Tsimikas and centred to Eddie Nketiah, who finished deftly but had strayed offside.

The hosts started the game sharply but Liverpool took the lead with their first real attack in the ninth minute when Cody Gakpo ran on to Tsimikas' through ball down the left.

He centred for Jota, who breezed past Palace debutant Trevor Chalobah to poke home from close range and record his fourth goal of the season in all competitions.

Jota should have doubled his tally in the 34th minute after good work by Mohamed Salah and the impressive Ryan Gravenberch, whose ball from the right found Jota unmarked but he scuffed his effort well wide.

Liverpool enjoyed almost 75 per cent&nbsp;possession in the first half but without creating many clear-cut chances and Palace almost made them pay on the stroke of half-time.

Maxence Lacroix's quick pass played Ismaila Sarr in behind, but his low effort was well saved by Alisson.

The second half began quietly before the visitors began to move through the gears and Salah drew a smart block from Palace keeper Dean Henderson after cushioning down a wonderful pass from Virgil van Dijk.

Jota missed another good chance just after the hour when Trent Alexander-Arnold found him in space from a free kick, but the Portugal forward mistimed his header.

Liverpool's failure to kill the game almost cost them as Eddie Nketiah and Eberechi Eze drew good saves from Alisson, who went off injured after he was forced into a hasty clearance.

That brought Vitezslav Jaros on for his Liverpool debut with the Palace fans sensing a shift in momentum, but Eze shot straight at Jaros who also stopped substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta in his tracks in added time.

Liverpool stay top with 18 points from seven games and open up a four-point lead on Manchester City and Arsenal, who play later on Saturday.

"I think it's always hard to come here. The results over the years have all been very tight and close," said man of the match Van Dijk. "We could have played a bit better in the second half. Overall, it's a big three points and we go into the international break on a high."

Palace remain winless with three points from seven league games.

Premier League: Liverpool tighten grip at top after hard-fought win over Crystal Palace

England star Joe Root is not thinking of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record as he prepares for the upcoming Test series against Pakistan. Root, recently scored his 34th Test hundred bringing him on the brink of being the most successful English batter. However, he has been compared to Tendulkar with many reckoning he could break the legendary India batter’s record for most Test runs.

<h2>Root not thinking of Tendulkar</h2>

"I think, more than anything, you judge yourself based on how many games you can affect and how many games you can win for the team. The big driver for me is how many times I can contribute to winning games for England. If with that mindset, I am trying to be successful in whatever conditions are in front of me, that is a good enough driver for me. I want to keep enjoying myself and keep playing. I look at enjoying that at the moment," Joe Root said while on a Pakistan tour.

The 33-year-old batter has 34 hundreds in the red-ball format and now needs 71 more runs to become the greatest English batter.

With still 3-4 years of top-quality cricket left in him, Root will be a top contender to break Tendulkar’s record for most runs. At the time of writing, Root needs 3520 runs to surpass Tendulkar’s tally and the upcoming Pakistan series will be crucial for him as he can add one more feather to his already impressive hat.

<h2>Can England repeat 2022 heroics?</h2>

In December 2022, Pakistan were beaten 3-0 by England as Brendon McCullum’s Bazball approach proved vital. Things have not changed much for Pakistan since and recently lost 2-0 to Bangladesh in a home series. With the World Test Championship (WTC) final qualification still up for grabs both teams will look to gain vital ground on India and Australia as they occupy the top two spots and will go head-to-head in a five-match Test series starting next month.

England star Joe Root is not thinking of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record as he prepares for the upcoming Test series against Pakistan. Root, recently scored his 34th Test hundred bringing him on the brink of being the most successful English batter.

PAK vs ENG Test Series: Joe Root not thinking of breaking Tendulkar's record, says 'I want to keep enjoying'

Coco Gauff fought back from a set down to beat Spain's Paula Badosa and surge into the final of the China Open on Saturday.

The American won 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 and plays China's Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen or Aryna Sabalenka's vanquisher Karolina Muchova in Sunday's title decider in Beijing.

Last year's US Open champion, who has struggled in recent months, is chasing a second title of the year and eighth overall.

The 20-year-old split with coach Brad Gilbert after her New York title defence ended in the last 16 in a blur of double-faults.

The sixth-ranked Gauff racked up 11 double-faults and also converted just six of 20 break points on Saturday, but battled back to down the Spaniard in two hours, 20 minutes.

"I tried to stay focused, it was tough but mentally I just tried to reset," said Gauff.

Former world number two Badosa, now ranked 19, broke in the fifth game of the first set and then held for a 4-2 lead.

The eighth game was mammoth, Gauff finally converting her eighth break point, and she celebrated by putting both arms in the air.

The jubilation was short-lived, as Badosa broke back immediately and sealed the set on her third set point when Gauff overhit a simple forehand return.

Badosa broke once more to start the second set and Gauff was in danger of losing her cool, whacking the sole of her foot with her racquet as she fell 2-0 down.

Gauff recovered her poise to twice break the Spaniard and take the set against a suddenly rattled Badosa.

It was the first set Badosa had dropped in Beijing and Gauff was in the ascendancy, breaking three times in the deciding set for victory.

Gauff's only title of the year so far came in Auckland in January.
