Anthony Joshua became a two-time world champion as he regained the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles with a unanimous points decision over Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia.

Premier League leaders Liverpool won 3-0 at Bournemouth and second-placed Leicester remain eight points behind following an emphatic 4-1 at Aston Villa, but Manchester City lost ground following a 2-1 home loss to bitter rivals United in the derby.

Celtic beat Rangers 1-0 at Hampden Park to win the Betfred Cup with central defender Christopher Jullien scoring the only goal.
