World Sports News - Thursday 22 December by Chili Radio

Listen to the news:

Football - In last night's Carabao Cup matches League One Charlton stunned top-flight Brighton after beating them on penalties after a goalless draw to reach the quarter-finals. Also through are Manchester United who beat Burnley 2-0 and Nottingham Forest who won 4-1 at Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

Chelsea have been drawn to face Tottenham in a London derby in the quarter-finals of the Continental Cup. The two met in the Women's Super League last month, when a record Chelsea home crowd of 38,300 saw the Blues beat Spurs 3-0. Arsenal, who currently sit second in the WSL, will host Aston Villa.

Basketball - Billionaire Mat Ishbia is closing in on a deal for the Phoenix Suns and Mercury in an agreement that will value the franchises at $4bn.

Mortgage executive Ishbia has made a deal in principle with Robert Sarver, who is selling after being suspended for racist and sexist behaviour. The deal would be a record for the purchase of an NBA team.
