Here's the latest updates from today's sporting action...
Soccer
It was busy day of Premier League action, with eight games in the English top flight.
In the first game of the day, two late goals for Arsenal got them a 4-2 win over Aston Villa in the 12.30pm kick-off.
The Gunners return to the top of the table, taking the spot of Manchester City, who drew with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
City looked to be heading back to the summit thanks to Bernardo Silva's first half strike but conceded six minutes from time.
Boss Pep Guardiola said his side didn't do too much wrong.
At Goodison Park, Everton emerged 1-0 victors over Leeds; Seamus Coleman's right footed shot from a difficult angle on the right to the centre of the goal was the difference.
