The best photos from a busy weekend of sport.

During a Premier League weekend where the lead changed hand on a number of occasions it was Leicester who ended in top spot after a 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday thanks to a controversial Jamie Vardy penalty.

Liverpool had the chance to return to first position, but a 1-1 draw at Manchester City saw them miss out while the FA Cup returned with shocks and drama aplenty across numerous first round ties.

Meanwhile in Rugby League, Wigan were able to get their hands on the League Leaders Shield after a 19-6 win in their final match of the regular season against Huddersfield.
