Bad news for Aberdeen, whose title hopes suffered a hammer blow as they were defeated by determined Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

It was a fiery encounter, with a controversial penalty awarded - and a further two possible spot kicks not given.

The end of Aberdeen's 12-game unbeaten run leaves Derek McInnes' side three points behind Premiership leaders Celtic, who have a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference. 

Victory moves Inverness into the top six.

One year after being racially abused by Chelsea supporters as he tried to board a Paris Metro train, commuter Souleymane Sylla is ready to speak to the London club's fans if they talk to him.

Sylla has accepted an invitation from Paris Saint-Germain to watch the Champions League tie between the two sides in the French capital later.

Speaking to the BBC's Radio 5 live, Sylla said: "If Chelsea fans want to speak to me I'll speak to them - they're people after all."

Describing how he felt a year on from the incident, he added: "I feel better, but it's a matter of working with them. You know, the problem is that I am wounded, and my family are hurt too."

It means they missed the chance to go top and are a point behind Hull.

As for Leeds, all of the focus before the match was once again off the pitch as home supporters urged chairman Massimo Cellino to sell his 75% share in the club.
