Sports Desk: Tuesday

A number of Sport's Number Ones to mention this week.

Murray Brothers

Andy No.1 in the world of men's singles tennis and Jamie No.1 in the doubles. Congratulations.

Bradley Wiggins

Who with Mark Cavendish won the Ghent Six-Day event. (In his home town, having been born in Belgium). Maybe not quite yet his last race….

Celebration of the week

Goes to Jamie Vardy scoring for England against Spain with his mannequin celebration. Made better by the way Theo Walcott and Raheem Sterling instantly joined in. 


Unbeaten

A lot was made of Arsene Wenger having never beaten Jose Mourinho in a league game. Arsenal's late equaliser against Manchester United, and the draw took this run to 12. But
Is this a record…?  Sir Alex Ferguson enjoyed 17 games without defeat against his former defender Steve Bruce, but here's a surprise. Ex-West Ham, Spurs and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp also went 17 Premier League matches without being on the losing side against Martin O'Neill.
Dare I mention one final No.1? - Antonio Conte's Chelsea, top of the league. No one's getting carried away by this, not the fans and, more importantly, certainly not the players.
