The sporting weekend in pictures

The best images from the weekend include Olympic gold for Team GB and a Harry Kane-led Tottenham victory over Manchester City.

Great Britain ended the Beijing Winter Olympics with two medals after Eve Muirhead’s women’s curling team took gold on the final day of competition, with Bruce Mouat’s men having claimed silver the previous day.

Muirhead and her team-mates Vicky Wright, Jennifer Dodds, Hailey Duff and alternate Mili Smith swept to an emphatic 10-3 win over Japan.

In the Premier League, Harry Kane inspired Tottenham to a 3-2 win at Manchester City to breathe new life into the title race with Liverpool now just six points behind the champions with a game in hand, while Manchester United won 4-2 against Leeds at a rain-soaked Elland Road.

Elsewhere, Kell Brook stopped Amir Khan in the sixth round to win their long-awaited fight at Manchester Arena.
