Arsenal and England ace midfielder Declan Rice has been hit with a six-month driving ban after being caught speeding twice on the same road in just one week. The £105million midfielder was first caught doing 37mph in a 30mph zone on January 3 last year. Barely five days later, the 26-year-old was caught again on the same stretch of the A217, hit for doing 49mph in a 40mph limit.

Nigeria will miss a second consecutive FIFA World Cup after falling to DR Congo in a penalty shootout in the CAF playoff final. Frank Onyeka gave the Super Eagles an early lead, but Meschack Elia equalised before halftime.
