Gareth Bale's Tottenham return was overshadowed as visitors West Ham staged a stunning late comeback to snatch a 3-3 draw.
Connor Goldson scored both goals as Rangers' 2-0 win over Celtic suggested the balance of power in the Scottish Premier League could soon begin to shift.
Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema became the first player to reach 50 goals in the Women's Super League as she scored a hat-trick in her side's 6-1 win over Tottenham.
Tao Geoghegan Hart claimed his first grand tour stage win at the Giro d'Italia, Adrian Otaegui triumphed in the Scottish Open golf, and Tampa Bay Rays sealed their place in their first baseball World Series since 2008.
