Good morning! The Sport360 Team is in place to bring you our top stories on Monday.
TOP STORY
The Boston Red Sox were crowned champions of baseball’s World Series after beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in game five.

The Red Sox took the best-of-seven series 4-1.
FOOTBALL
Barcelona surged seven points clear of hapless Real Madrid with a 5-1 thrashing at the Camp Nou, but that scoreline does not tell the full story of a game which the visitors should have levelled in the second half.
Andy West looks back at the three biggest stories to emerge from El Clasico.
CRICKET
Pakistan maintained their dominance over a hapless Australia with a 33-run victory in the third T20I in Dubai on Sunday night, to complete a 3-0 clean sweep in the series.
The hosts total of 150-5 was set up by a blistering opening stand of 93 by Babar Azam and Sahibzada Farhan, who was in for the rested Fakhar Zaman.
Australia fought back well to restrict them before Alex Carey smashed Imad Wasim for 20 off the first over for what seemed like the tourists would finally have something to celebrate.
But that was as good as it got as a mixture of accurate bowling and poor batting saw the Aussies slump to be all out for 117 off 19.1 overs with Shadab Khan the pick of the hosts bowlers with 3-19 off four overs.
Check out our report card form the encounter here.
Pakistan celebrate another victory over Australia.
FEATURE OF THE DAY
The Premier League weekend will end with a bang as Tottenham host reigning champions Manchester City on Monday night.

Here, Aditya Devavrat looks at the other talking points ahead of the game.
