In this weeks Sport Spotlight, IBTimes UK sport editor Nick Howson looks at Chelseas 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Capital One Cup final, Irelands 19-9 win over England in the Six Nations and Englands woeful defeat to Sri Lanka in the Cricket World Cup.
Chelsea triumph in Capital One Cup over Spurs
Jose Mourinho won his first trophy since returning as Chelsea manager as his side comfortably beat Spurs 2-0 in the Capital One Cup final. With Manchester City slipping up in the title race with a 2-1 loss to Liverpool on the same day, are the Blues now set to win their first Premier League title since 2009-10?
Englands grand slam dreams crushed by Ireland in Dublin
Englands hopes of a first grand slam since 2003 were dashed when they were beaten by Ireland 19-9 in Dublin. The result is a major setback for Stuart Lancasters side and could see Ireland emerge as the northern hemisphere favourites at the World Cup later in 2015.
Englands woeful Cricket World Cup continues
Speaking of World Cups, England continue to toil in Australia and New Zealand after they suffered a humiliating loss by nine wickets to Sri Lanka in Wellington. The defeat means England have lost all three of their matches against Test-playing nations so far and means they might have to win their next two games against Afghanistan and Bangladesh to progress from the group stage.
