Sanchez Scores As Man Utd Remember Munich Air Disaster

Alexis Sanchez scored his first goal for Manchester United as they comfortably beat Huddersfield to send the visitors into the Premier League's relegation zone.


After an uneventful first half, Romelu Lukaku gave United the lead on 55 minutes with a close-range volley.

Sanchez was then fouled by Huddersfield defender Michael Hefele to win a penalty and the Chilean, a January signing from Arsenal, stepped up to take the spot-kick.

The forward saw his low shot saved by Jonas Lossl, but made no mistake with the rebound to double United's lead on his home debut.

It was an emotional day at Old Trafford as United commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster with a minute's silence before kick-off.

It was a fifth successive league defeat for Huddersfield, who are without a win in eight league games and now sit 19th.

Batshuayi Scores Twice On Dortmund Debut

On-loan Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi scored twice on his Borussia Dortmund debut as the German side beat Cologne.

Batshuayi, who moved to Dortmund until the end of the season on deadline day, swept home in the first half before adding a second on the hour with a clinical finish
The goals came either side of a Simon Ziller strike before Jorge Mere equalised for the hosts.

But Batshuayi then set up Andre Schurrle to give Dortmund victory.

The win moves Dortmund up to second in the Bundesliga, sixteen points behind leaders Bayern Munich who have a game in hand.

F1 To End Use Of 'Grid Girls' In 2018'

Grid girls' will no longer be used by Formula 1 from the start of the 2018 World Championship season.

Sean Bratches, managing director of commercial operations, said the change would be made "so as to be more in tune with our vision for this great sport".

F1 managing director of motorsports Ross Brawn told BBC Radio 5 live in December that the use of female promotional models was "under review".

The new F1 season begins on 25 March.

"While the practice of employing grid girls has been a staple of Formula 1 grands prix for decades, we feel this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms," Bratches added. 

"We don't believe the practice is appropriate or relevant to Formula 1 and its fans, old and new, across the world."

Djokovic Has Further Elbow Treatment

Novak Djokovic says he has had a "small medical intervention" on a persistent elbow injury and is "on the good road now to full recovery".

The former world number one returned after six months out when he played at the Australian Open in January.

He lost to unseeded South Korean Chung Hyeon in the last 16 and had treatment on his right elbow during the match.

"It's quite a journey this one, I have to say. I'm learning a lot and for that I'm grateful," said Djokovic, 30.

"I've always taken care of my body and looked for the most natural ways to heal, and my body has rewarded me with some incredible years on tour. 

"I am super positive and excited to follow my recovery through so I can come back to the place I love the most. The court."

Before Melbourne, the Serb, a 12-time Grand Slam champion, had not played since retiring against Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon last July.
