Is Harry Kane back among the goals?

The England captain looked as sharp as ever in grabbing a 19-minute hattrick in Tottenham’s game with Slovenian side NS Mura in the Europa Conference League. Spurs shouldn’t really have needed their talisman to get off the bench, but after two early goals, the visitors got one back and were threatening an equaliser, and boss Nuno Espirito Santo was forced to get the big guns out.

Total Goal Minutes (settled at 296)

Buyers of goal minutes (set at 171-186 pre-match) must have been worried that Spurs had done their work early and shut up shop when goals from Dele Alli and Giovani Lo Celso in the 4th and 8th minutes put them in the comfort zone. As half-time came and went, a Goal Minutes total of 12 would mean a 174 times your stake loss. Ziga Kous rifling in a volley for the Slovenian opponents breathed new life into the game however, and with Mura threatening to get back into the game, Nuno turned to his bench and threw on Kane, Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura. Sure enough, the three subs took the game away from Mura, Kane scoring three quick goals to seal a 5-1 victory and settle Total Goal Minutes at 296, a profit of 110 times their bet for buyers.

What happened in West Ham’s Europa League game with Rapid Vienna?

West Ham won their second successive Europa League game 2-0 to go clear at the top of Group H. Goals from Declan Rice and Said Benrahma gave the Hammers a deserved win in their first major European home game since 2006.

Declan Rice First Goalscorer 10/1

All of a sudden West Ham’s defensive midfielder has started adding goals to his repertoire. After grabbing the last goal in the Hammers’ opening Europa League game in Zagreb, as well as in England’s 4-0 win in Hungary, Rice grabbed the opener in last night’s clash with Rapid Vienna. If the 22 year old can add goals to his impressive play, Rice might be about to breakout as the complete midfielder. He was priced 10/1 with Spreadex sportsbook to get the first goal last night.

Who won the NFL Thursday Night Football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars?

A last-second 35-yard field goal from rookie Evan McPherson handed the Bengals a 24-21 comeback victory in a game where they were held scoreless in the first half. Looking to go to 3-1 for the season and make a run at the play-offs, a home game with arguably the worst team in the NFL looked a gimme, but the Cincinnati crowd booed their team off 14-0 down at the break. The Bengals won the third quarter 14-0 to set up a thrilling ending which McPherson capped for the home team.

What happened in Thursday's IPL game?

Chennai Super Kings became the first team to qualify for the play-offs with a hard fought six-wicket victory over bottom side Sunrisers Hyderabad. Sunrisers made 134-7 in their 20 overs with Wriddhiman Saha making 44. Chennai reached their target with just two balls to spare despite Ruturaj Gaikwad (45) and Faf du Plessis (putting on 75 for the first wicket. MS Dhoni won the match in style with a huge six to send Chennai to the play-offs.

Launch! (settled at 675)

Even though this was a top versus bottom encounter, it looked like being a tight match with Sunrisers showing an upturn in form, and the slow Sharjah pitch a leveller. Boundaries were tough to come by, and unders bets paid off nicely in multiple categories. The Launch! spread, set at 1300-1400, multiplies the top score by any batsman by the top scoring over and comparatively, both were low in this game. Sellers at 1300 made 625 times their stake as Gaikwad’s 45 was multiplied by the top scoring over of 15 to make up 675.

Who’s in the Super League Grand Final?

Catalans Dragons made their first ever Grand Final on Thursday night with a 28-10 win over plucky Hull KR. The French team went ahead with tries from Ben Garcia and Josh Drinkwater, but at 12-4 down, KR were still in with a shout. However, in front of a sell-out crowd, the Dragons went up a gear in the second half and eased to an 18-point victory.

Hull KR Kicking Metres (settled at 25)

After their huge upset win at Warrington in the eliminator, and having rebounded from bottom place last season to 6^th and a play-off spot this, Hull KR just ran out of steam. They needed to – as they had against the Wolves – outperform expectations in every department, but in reality they were 10% short all over the pitch. Sellers of KR spreads made small profits all over, and Kicking Metres, which totals the successful kicks at goal, was another of those. Sellers at the pre-match spread of 47-55 made 22 times their wager.
