Andy Murray targets end of season top spot





Andy Murray has set his sights on a strong finish to his season and with a shot at surpassing Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings.
The world number two is in Beijing for the China Open where he is hoping to make ground on the absent Djokovic in his pursuit of the coveted position at the summit of the men’s game.
A stellar 2016 so far, which has seen Murray win Wimbledon for a second time as well as reach two more grand slam finals and claim the Olympic gold in Rio, has coincided with a difficult second half of the season for his great rival Djokovic.
The Serbian, who is not playing in Beijing due to an elbow injury, suffered a surprise early exit at Wimbledon, later attributed to personal issues, while also suffering a first-round exit at the Olympics and withdrawing from the Cincinnati Open in August. He came into the US Open with lingering fitness concerns, but made it to the final where he lost to Stan Wawrinka.

Burnley victory was one of Arsenal’s biggest wins of the season – Ox




Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hailed Arsenal’s last-gasp 1-0 victory at Burnley as “one of the biggest wins of the season.”
The England international and Laurent Koscielny were both involved in bundling the ball over the line in the last minute of the match to earn the Gunners their fifth straight Premier League success.
Neither player could confirm who scored the goal but both agreed with the importance of gaining all three points.
Chamberlain told Sky Sports: “The important thing is we managed to squeeze it in at the end and that’s one of the biggest wins we will have this season for sure.
“I think you know [who scored the goal] better than us. I think it hit both of us at some point but it doesn’t really matter.
