Sadio Mane got the better of Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah as Senegal beat Egypt to lift the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time during a dramatic weekend of sport.

National League North Kidderminster came within seconds of dumping Premier League West Ham out of the FA Cup before themselves making an agonising exit – but Boreham Wood from the division above accounted for Sky Bet Championship Bournemouth, whose second-tier counterparts Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest saw off top-flight Manchester United and holders Leicester respectively.

The action was no less eventful on the rugby pitch as Scotland retained the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield after England hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie had a penalty try awarded against him to cancel out his side’s lead, while Ireland powered their way past a depleted Wales in the opening Six Nations fixtures.

Elsewhere, Great Britain’s Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds made the top four in the Winter Olympics mixed curling event’s round robin phase and will compete for a medal, while 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva became just the fourth woman to land a triple axel at the Games.
