Golf

Peter Lawrie is among six player just one off the lead at the Joburg Open on 4-under after 11.

Titch Moore and Sihwan Kim leads on 6-under, also after 11.

Darren Clarke, Gareth Maybin and Kevin Phelan start later.

Soccer

A poor performance has left Arsenal on the brink of a Champions League exit.

The Gunners lost 3-1 at home to Monaco in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's late goal to make it 2-1 had looked to have given hope to Arsene Wenger's side, but Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco restored Monaco's two-goal advantage.

Kenny Cunningham was scathing of Arsenal's display on Off The Ball afterwards, as was Wenger.

It was also a bad night for last year's beaten finalists, with Atletico Madrid going down 1-0 away to Bayer Leverkusen as well as having Tiago sent off.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth are now four games without a win in the Championship after going down 2-1 away to Nottingham Forest.

Elsewhere, both Merseyside clubs will be hoping to make the last-16 of the Europa League tonight.

Liverpool take a 1-0 lead to Istanbul where they face Besiktas (6.0), while Everton hold a 4-1 advantage heading into their meeting with Swiss side Young Boys at Goodison Park (8.05).

Fiorentina and Tottenham are tied at 1-1 ahead of their meeting at the Artemio Franchi.

And after last week's thrilling 3-3 draw at Parkhead, Celtic take on Inter Milan at the San Siro.

Both games in Italy are underway at 6pm.

Gaelic games

The Under-21 footballers of Laois set up a Leinster quarter-final with Dublin, following their 4-12 to 1-11 defeat of Wexford last night.

Louth will play Longford after respective wins over Carlow and Wicklow.

Racing

There's a seven-race card at Thurles this afternoon where the first is off at 2.15.
