Dominic Solanke scored twice as Tottenham thrashed Aston Villa 4-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.
The forward struck two goals in the space of four second-half minutes at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Villa had led at the break, The Associated Press reported.
Solanke scored in the 75th and 79th as Spurs produced a stunning second-half performance to follow up its victory against Manchester City in the League Cup on Wednesday.
Morgan Rogers had given Champions League-chasing Villa the lead in the 32nd minute, but Brennan Johnson leveled the game four minutes after the break.
Solanke's double put Spurs 3-1 ahead and James Maddison curled a free kick into the top corner in the sixth minute of added time. Solanke is now on five goals for the season.
Tottenham is up to seventh in the standings, while fifth-place Villa missed out on the chance to move into the top three.
Grudge match AFC Wimbledon beat MK Dons 2-0 in the first round of the FA Cup and took bragging rights in one of English soccer’s fiercest grudge matches.
Matty Stevens and Omar Bugiel scored either side of halftime at Stadium MK in a competition that holds deep ties for fans of both clubs.
Wimbledon was a shock winner of the Cup in 1988 when beating the mighty Liverpool 1-0. The team relocated to Milton Keynes in 2002 and was renamed MK Dons, which prompted disgruntled fans to create a phoenix club called AFC Wimbledon.
And it was the traveling AFC Wimbledon fans who were left celebrating Sunday after securing its place in the next round of the Cup.

Andrea Gaudenzi was re-elected as chairman of the ATP men's professional tennis tour on Thursday, giving him a third term that runs through 2028.

Gaudenzi, a former player, first took over the tour in January 2020. The ATP says total annual player compensation for tour-level events has climbed by $100 million during his tenure to roughly $270 million in 2025 — and to $400 million when Grand Slam tournaments are included.

“When I reflect on what we’ve achieved, I see a sport with stronger foundations than ever, underpinned by record growth that speaks to tennis’s potential,” Gaudenzi said in a statement.

“Now is the time to keep pushing,” The Associated Press quoted him as saying.

Key changes during his time in charge have included adding profit-sharing at ATP Masters 1000 events and the introduction of 12-day Masters tournaments.

Saudi Arabia will host a new ATP Masters tournament, expected to debut in 2028 — the first addition to the men’s tennis tour’s premium series since its founding in 1990.

Germany forward Serge Gnabry has extended his contract at Bayern Munich by two years until 2028, the club announced Thursday.

Gnabry, 30, has been at the Bavarian giants since 2017, after stints at several clubs including Arsenal, West Brom and Werder Bremen. His contract was set to expire in the summer.

The forward has won six Bundesliga titles in Munich along with the Champions League.

After reports Gnabry was set to leave the club, he has put together an impressive season, scoring six goals and supplying five assists in 15 league matches.

Gnabry has struck up a partnership at Bayern with Harry Kane and wingers Michael Olise and Luis Diaz, forming a lethal attack for the Bundesliga leaders.

"We're a real unit and can achieve something big," Gnabry said in a statement, adding he "never thought" he would spend a decade with Bayern.

"The reasons to renew my contract are the team, the coaches, the whole club, the fans, the city and the environment. I feel very much at home at Bayern."

Gnabry has scored 100 goals across 311 appearances for Bayern in all competitions, adding 69 assists.

According to AFP, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl called Gnabry "one of the absolute pillars of this team".

"He's won it all with this club and still wants more. That makes him a role model. He represents Bayern," said Eberl.

Gnabry has re-established himself as a key member of the Germany team under Julian Nagelsmann after missing out on Euro 2024 on home soil due to injury. He has scored 25 times in 57 caps.

A record number of 5,973 international transfers were recorded in the January trading window for men’s soccer, according to a FIFA report released Thursday.

That marks a 3% increase from the previous year in global deals between clubs in the countries that are processed by FIFA, The Associated Press reported.

However, the total spending was down about 18% from last year's record, to $1.95 billion. That's still some 20% more than the previous record from January 2023, FIFA said.

In women’s soccer, clubs spent more than $10 million on international transfers, up 85% from the previous record a year ago, while the number of international transfers was down by 6% to 420.

England tops spending English clubs were again the biggest spenders with a $363 million outlay on transfer fees and recouped just $150 million by selling players to clubs in other countries. Italy followed in second with $283 million, with Brazil, Germany, and France also making the top five.

French clubs benefited most, earning $218 million in transfer sales, followed by Italy, Brazil, England and Spain.

In the United States, clubs spent $99 million and took in $48 million in transfer fees, according to the FIFA research.

English women’s clubs also topped the spending with over $5 million, and also were the biggest earners.
