At Craven Cottage on Sunday, Fulham and Manchester United collided in a Premier League match that carried real weight for both sides. Two clubs scrapping for form early in the season, neither able to afford a slip — the tension at that riverside ground was as thick as the London fog rolling off the Thames.
Across the channel in Germany's second division, St. Pauli pulled off something special at Cottbus. Down to ten men after Tomoya Ando picked up a second yellow card before the break, it looked bleak for the visitors. But Martijn Kaars had other ideas, heading home ten minutes from time to salvage a hard-earned draw.
And in tennis, Great Britain are heading to the Davis Cup Finals after a dominant performance over Ecuador. Henry Patten and Neal Skupski closed it out in the doubles, winning six-three, six-four to seal an unassailable three-nothing series lead. A clinical, composed showing from the British pair — job done and tickets punched.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
