We kick-off with Football and in the aftermath of the Wayne Rooney saga – Chelsea captain John Terry says that the United striker’s decision to stay at Old Trafford will be a massive boost to the Red Devils.

Terry also said that with Rooney staying around it will make it harder for the Blues to defend their Premier League title.

Chelsea are now 5-points ahead of United who are joint-second alongside Arsenal and Manchester City at 17-points.

In Italy – goals from Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic secured a 2-1 victory for AC Milan at 10-man Napoli.

The win for Milan ensured they move above Inter into second place in the table, just behind surprise leaders Lazio.

And finally Motor-racing – Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso admitted that luck was again on his side following a chaotic Korean Grand Prix victory on Sunday.

Alonso has now won three of the last four races, and four of the last seven, taking 133 points from a possible 175 in the process and is now on top of the Driver’s Standings.

And in the Red Bull camp – Mark Webber has accepted full responsibility for the smash that has put his Formula One world title hopes on the line.

Webber crashed out on lap 19 of a chaotic Korean Grand Prix which included four safety car sessions amounting to 24 of the 55 laps, and finished in near darkness.
