Last weekend saw one of the biggest derby's in world football take place in Italy's Serie A.

In a thrilling match at the San Siro stadium, Inter Milan fought back from two goals down to earn a 4-2 win against AC Milan.

Despite veteran attacker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up one then scoring the other for Milan in the first half, it was their arch-rivals who took control control after the break scoring four unanswered goals which saw Antonio Conte's side overtake Juventus at the top of Serie A.

Inter had less joy in the Coppa Italia a few days later as they lost 1-0 to Napoli in their semi-final first leg, while Milan drew 1-1 with Juve in their match at the San Siro.

In cricket, Virat Kohli's India fell to their first one-day international series whitewash for 31 years when they lost to New Zealand by five wickets.

The defeat meant the tourists, who thrashed the Black Caps 5-0 in their recent T20 clashes, had lost the 50-over series 3-0.

There were ugly scenes at the end of the Under-19 World Cup between India and Bangladesh when tempers flared between the two sets of players. The Tigers lift their first U19 world title after a tense three-wicket win in South Africa.
