Fans were able to witness Manchester City's Carabao Cup final win over Tottenham.
Late thrills and controversy punctuated another eventful sporting weekend which brought joy and pain in equal measure.
Manchester City triumphed over Tottenham in Sunday's Carabao Cup final at Wembley – which was watched by a crowd of 8,000 – as 'big six' counterparts Manchester United and Liverpool found themselves on the wrong end of a fans backlash over their involvement in the European Super League proposal.
On the pitch, there was misery for Jurgen Klopp's men after their Champions League qualification hopes were dealt a further blow by a Newcastle fightback, while a rare Chris Wood hat-trick at Wolves eased Burnley's relegation fears.
There were celebrations for England's Women as they clinched a third successive Six Nations title, but disappointment for reigning champion Ronnie O'Sullivan as his hopes of a record-equalling seventh World Snooker Championship success were dashed.
