Rafael Nadal secured a win over Novak Djokovic last night to claim the US Open title. The win meant Nadal is only the seventh man in history to complete a set of Grand Slam titles winning Wimbledon, French, Australian and US Opens. Djokovic record over Nadal on hard court is seven matches to three but Nadal’s ability to step up his game in major finals meant that the match would always be an uphill battle for Djokovic. Nadal won the match by three sets to one following a two hour rain break in the second set which enabled Djokovic to level the match at one set all.

Everton secured a point against Manchester United on Saturday scoring two goals in stoppage time to earn a 3-3 draw. Everton went 1-0 up in the first half through Steven Pienaar but United levelled within five minutes with Darren Fletcher volleying in from close range. United then went 3-1 up after the restart through Nemanja Vidic and Dimitar Berbatov and looked to be securing a needed victory, but Tim Cahill pulled one back in the first of three added minutes leaving United on edge. Everton then went on the attack again with 30 seconds remaining, Leighton Baines crossing into Cahill who nodded down for Mikel Arteta to volley home with the of a Paul Scholes deflection.

Wales boss John Toshack is expected to hand his resignation into the Welsh FA on Thursday following Wales’s 1-0 defeat to Montenegro on Friday. There have been problems in the welsh camp for quite some time and this undoubtedly affected the teams performance throughout world cup qualifying and the problems don’t seem to have dissolved. Reports have suggested that Ryan Giggs could replace John Toshack on a part time basis but realistically Giggs will continue to focus on his playing career at Manchester United. John Hartson is another contender as is Chris Coleman, Welsh under 21 coach Brian Flynn, and possibly Ian Rush.

England have got off to a great start in their attempts to qualify for Euro 2012. On Friday they secured a simple win over Bulgaria and then followed that up with victory over Switzerland.

The game against Switzerland in Basel was expected to be a much tougher test, but England easily won by 3 goals to 1, with Wayne Rooney scoring his first international goal in quite some time, Adam Johnson scored his second goal in as many matches, and Darren Bent rounded the scoring off with his first goal for England.
