    The Football Manager simulation

    Given the amount of football-related video games there are, it was inevitable that someone would simulate their fixture.

    Step forward Watford, who had their home match with Leicester City played out on Football Manager.

    Despite playing most of the match with 10 men after a horrible challenge by Etienne Capoue on Dennis Praet, the Hornets earned a creditable point.

    Marc Albrighton's rasping left-footed finish was cancelled out late on by Roberto Pereyra's long-range stunner, which sent Vicarage Road wild.

    Some sport is taking place across the weekend, and Britain's best swimmers did in Edinburgh what they do best... win races.

    England's Adam Peaty swam the quickest 100m breaststroke time in the world this year to beat his own meet record at the Edinburgh International Meet.

    Duncan Scott set a new Scottish record with victory in the men's 50m freestyle.

    The 22-year-old won in 22.21 seconds - a lifetime best - to eclipse the mark held by Jack Thorpe since 2018.

    Compatriot Kathleen Dawson, victorious in the women's 100m backstroke on Friday, added the 50m gold in a meet record time of 28.07.
