The sporting weekend in pictures

We take a look at the best pictures from a busy weekend of sport.

The magic of the FA Cup brought up a few shocks over the weekend as AFC Wimbledon beat West Ham and Everton were knocked out by Millwall in the fourth round.

England began 2019 with a 381-run humbling in the first Test against the West Indies while the Australian Open drew to a close with Novak Djokovic beating Rafael Nadal and Naomi Osaka seeing off Petra Kvitova in a dramatic women's final.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at the best pictures from a busy weekend of sport.
