Chelsea beat Malmo

Soccer

Manchester United are top of Champions League Group F, but only just.

The Red Devils came from 2-0 down to beat Atalanta 3-2 at Old Trafford last night.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late winner with a header.


Chelsea beat Malmo 4-0 in Group H at Stamford Bridge, but Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner went off with injuries.


The Republic of Ireland women's team face Sweden in their opening World Cup qualifier at Tallaght Stadium tonight.

Kick off is at 7pm.

It will be a difficult task against a Swedish side ranked second in the world.

But manager Vera Pauw feels Ireland are improving:

The other game in the group sees Georgia up against Finland.


West Ham take on Genk later in the Europa League.

It's an 8pm start at the London Stadium.

At the same time, Rangers play Brondby (PR: Bron-bu) at Ibrox.


In the Europa Conference League, Tottenham Hotspur face Vitesse Arnhem in the Netherlands from 5.45pm.

Gaelic Games

Henry Shefflin is the new boss of the Galway senior hurlers.

It's the Kilkenny legend's first foray into inter county management.

He replaces Shane O'Neill and will now face former mentor Brian Cody on the sideline in next year's Leinster Championship.

Shefflin guided Ballyhale Shamrocks to club All-Ireland titles in 2019 and 2020.
