Frankie Dettori is sidelined after a car crash near Newmarket on Wednesday evening, when another vehicle struck the rear passenger side of his car. The fifty-five-year-old legend of the saddle suffered several broken ribs and a broken thumb — a brutal setback for one of racing's all-time greats.
Meanwhile in North London, Tottenham have made the biggest statement of their summer, completing the signing of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for a club-record eighty-five million pounds. The twenty-one-year-old midfielder says head coach Roberto de Zerbi was central to his decision, telling reporters the two men see football the same way. Spurs are building something serious under de Zerbi, and this is their fifth signing of the window.
And at the World Cup, Senegal's campaign ended in heartbreak of the most stunning variety. Leading Belgium two-nil with four minutes of normal time remaining, Pape Thiaw's side somehow found a way to lose the match — surrendering the lead in the most dramatic fashion and crashing out of the tournament in circumstances that will haunt them for years.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
