Wolves maintained their position in the Premier League top-four race with a 2-1 win over Leicester. Goals in either half from Ruben Neves and Daniel Podence at a rain-soaked Molineux made it five Premier League games without a win for Leicester.

Elsewhere, Manchester United beat Leeds 4-2 at Elland Road. Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Anthony Elanga all scored for Ralf Rangnick's side. With the win they remain fourth and are four points clear of fifth-placed West Ham.

GAA

Tyrone beat Kildare 2-7 to 0-12 in Division One of the Allianz National Football League this afternoon. Conn Kilpatrick and Darren McCurry provided the goals for the All-Ireland champions, with the win marking their first victory this season.

Earlier, a David Clifford goal saw Kerry beat Donegal 1-13 to 0-7 at Fitzgerald Stadium. The win means the Kingdom go top of Division One of the league on scoring difference.

Three of today's games were called off due to the adverse weather conditions, namely Division Two's Galway-Offaly clash, Division Three's Westmeath-Longford game and Division Four's meeting of Sligo and Cavan.
