Sunday's London Marathon set a world record for the number of finishers, eclipsing the previous mark of 55,646 in New York last year, organisers said.

Sabastian Sawe used smart tactics to pull away for the men's title in the London Marathon, while Tigst Assefa smashed the women’s-only world record.

Just hours after Norwich's goalless draw at Middlesbrough, interim boss Jack Wilshere completed the London Marathon in a time of just over five hours.
