UK Championship roundup: Shaun Murphy ends Luca Brecel dreams

Luca Brecel's dreams of becoming the youngest winner of the UK Championship were ended on Thursday as the Belgian teenager lost 6-5 to Shaun Murphy in the quarter-finals.

Brecel, 17, only needed to pot the pink to reach the last four, but a mistake allowed Murphy back in before he won the next two frames to progress.

The 2008 winner will face Ali Carter for a spot in the final following the world number 15's 6-5 triumph over Stuart Bingham.

Mark Davis also booked his place in the semi-finals thanks to a 6-4 win against Matthew Stevens.

Spectators at the Barbican were treated to a thrilling encounter to end the day as Mark Selby staged a remarkable comeback against Neil Robertson.

Selby found himself 0-4 down to the Australian, only to win the next six frames to make his way into the semis.
