Here's the latest from today's sporting action...

Soccer

Following Saturday's 11 matches in the FA Cup, there are three more matches on Sunday's agenda.

Liverpool suffered a misfortune away to Brighton after a late goal from Kaoru Mitoma gave the homeside a 2-1 win.

Elsewhere, Stoke City beat Stevenage 3-1, thanks to goals from Jacob Brown, Josh Laurent and a penalty from Lewis Baker.

In the last game of the day, Wrexham and Sheffield United's meeting ended 3-3 despite a red card for Sheffield's Daniel Jebbison. The visitors left it late, but a goal in the 95th minute from John Egan was enough to secure the draw.

GAA

The opening weekend of the Allianz National Football League continues today, again with eight games across the four divisions.

Waterford took a heavy defeat against Leitrim, ending 3-18 to 0-11 in their Division Four meeting, while Meath got the better of Cork with a tally of 3-14 to 0-19 in Division Two.

In the first of the day's Divison One fixtures, three goals for Roscommon set them off on the right foot, beating Tyrone 3-11 to 1-12.

The second fixture in the top division between Donegal and Kerry was a closer encounter, ending 0-13 to 1-9 in Donegal's favour.

There was a similar winning margin down in Ennis, where Clare saw off Louth 0-13 to 1-9 in Division Two, while Division Four's match-up saw Laois best Sligo 2-11 to 0-11.

Golf

Rory McIroy's the man to catch at the Dubai Desert Classic.

The world number one is on 15 under par - and three shots clear of the chasing pack - after shooting a seven-under-par round of 65.

The event will finish on Monday as a result of several weather delays.

Tennis

Novak Djokovic beat Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets this morning to win the Australian Open for a record-extending 10th time.

The victory in Melbourne marked Djokovic's 22nd Grand Slam title which sees him return to World Number One and equal Rafa Nadal's record.
