MATT BARLOW IN BERGAMO: For nearly an hour Joe Hart seemed at ease in Serie A but his Torino debut went awry when he left his goal in search of a high ball and made a costly error, remarkably similar to Claudio Bravo's in the Manchester derby. Hart could only get his fingertips to the swirling corner kick. He tried to flick it to safety with a twist of his wrist but only succeeded in touching it on to Andrea Masiello who was lurking beyond the back-post, from where he slid in Atalanta's equaliser.

Kell Brook will have surgery on Monday to fix the broken eye socket he suffered in his brutal defeat by unbeaten champion Gennady Golovkin. But the 30-year-old has backed the decision by trainer Dominic Ingle to bring the fight to an early end after his corner man threw in the towel in round five.

CM Punk's UFC debut was one to forget as his bout with Mickey Gall lasted just a matter of minutes. Punk, who was one of WWE's biggest stars when he left two years ago to try his hand in ultimate fighting, tapped out two minutes and 14 seconds into the first round after he was pummelled and choked by Gall on the UFC 203 undercard.

In a pleasant change from abuse being hurled from the stands, Den Haag fans threw cuddly toys down onto Feyenoord supporters in the tier below them prior to the Eredivisie clash between the sides. Having been encouraged to bring toys to the game, the hundreds of presents raining down from above were gifts for patients at Sophia Children's Hospital. The children walked onto the pitch with both teams before kick-off and in a hearwarming gesture, Den Haag fans launched the toys into the air.

MANCHESTER UNITED 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY - ROB DRAPER AT OLD TRAFFORD: In truth Pep Guardiola was only half right. He insisted before this game it wasn't about the managers, but the players, the ones we come to watch. And he is right of course. But there is reason why Jose Mourinho and Guardiola are the most-feted managers in the game right now. As yet, they haven't made their full impact on these clubs. That will come in time. But in the week in which Paul Scholes correctly observed that the standard of Premier League games is well below the best overseas, this at least was an appetiser for a forthcoming feast.

STOKE 0-4 TOTTENHAM - MIKE KEEGAN AT THE BET365 STADIUM: Stop the press: the cure for a hangover has been discovered in north London. After last season's dramatic late collapse saw them go from title challengers to third place, behind Arsenal again, Mauricio Pochettino's spritely Spurs appear to have woken up this term suffering no ill effects. Following what appeared to be a harsh dismissal of Stoke manager Mark Hughes, the unbeaten visitors struck four unanswered goals in less than half an hour in a thrilling surge to victory.

ADAM CRAFTON AT THE LONDON STADIUM: After 33 minutes of this game, all appeared happy and well in the world of West Ham United. And then, implausibly, this game turned on its head. Within 22 minutes, West Ham's 2-0 advantage had become a 4-2 deficit. On the touchline, Slaven Bilic was staggering around, dazed and confused. Out on the field, his players had lost all sense of purpose and organisation.

MIKE DICKSON IN NEW YORK: Angelique Kerber's astonishing ascent to the top of women's tennis was completed when she held off the game challenge of Karolina Pliskova on a steaming late afternoon at Flushing Meadows. The 28 year-old German put the disappointment of losing the Wimbledon and Olympics finals behind her to win the US Open with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory over the 24-year-old Czech.

The match in Beirut was contested between Legends and Lebanese Football Stars and other big names in the Legends team included Carles Puyol and David Trezeguet. The star packed friendly, which took place at the Fouad Shahab Stadium on Saturday evening, ended 4-3 to the Legends.

Barcelona suffered a shock defeat by Alaves at the Nou Camp. The visitors hit the Spanish champions with a sucker punch twice to record a memorable win for the newly promoted team. The visitors earned a shock lead as a series of throw-ins finally led to a chance with Kiki Fermenia whipping in a cross which Deyverson converted. Jeremy Mathieu then equalised from a corner swung in by Neymar to soothe the Nou Camp nerves. But then, against the run of play, Alaves found themselves in front once more through Ibai Gomez.

Chris Froome failed in his bid to eat into Nairo Quintana's overall lead as the Colombian effectively claimed race victory on the penultimate stage of the Vuelta a Espana on Saturday. Despite a number of challenges on the Aito de Aitana, Team Sky's Froome was not able to distance himself from his rival, leaving the Movistar man's one minute and 23 second lead intact with just Sunday's processional stage into Madrid to come. Frenchman Pierre Latour (AG2R-La Mondiale) won the stage from a breakaway inspired by Esteban Chaves (Orica-BikeExchange), who succeeded in wresting overall third place from home favourite Alberto Contador and denying the Tinkoff team a podium place in their final Grand Tour.

Rugby is on a high after the Great Britain Sevens team gained a silver medal in the Olympics. Now you can take inspiration from that success as the Daily Mail Schools Trophy enters its fourth season.  The big question is, who can stop Wellington College collecting their third title?

OLIVER HOLT: Near the end of Hail, Caesar, the Coen Brothers' movie about movies, the director shouts in the ear of leading man, Baird Whitlock. Whitlock's character, a Roman general, is supposed to be having a moment of epiphany as he stares at Christ on the cross and the director urges him to convey a sense of wonder. 'Squint against the grandeur,' he says. That is what we came to Old Trafford to do on Saturday. To be blinded by the light. To gaze at the lightning that crackled and fizzed when Jose Mourinho collided again with Pep Guardiola.
