The track, which was criticised for being dirty, was resurfaced in the winter ahead of the 1996 edition. April 9, 1995

SOCCER - Arsenal striker Thierry Henry celebrates after scoring a superb solo goal in a 4-2 Premier League win against Liverpool at Highbury. Arsenal's 30-match unbeaten league run looked to be in jeopardy when they trailed 2-1 at halftime.

However, after Robert Pires equalised, Henry took matters into his own hands, dancing past two Liverpool defenders before capping off the effort with a fine low finish, completing his hat-trick a few minutes later to seal victory Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the table and remained undefeated over the rest of the season to win the title while Henry took home the Golden Boot award after scoring 30 goals.

April 9, 2011 BASEBALL - Baltimore Orioles left fielder Felix Pie, right fielder Nick Markakis and center fielder Adam Jones celebrate their 5-0 win over the Texas Rangers in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Rangers were the only unbeaten team in the majors coming into this game but fell behind 5-0 after three innings and failed to recover. The defeat ended any hopes they had of matching a franchise-record 7-0 start to the season -- achieved in 1996 -- but the Rangers bounced back in the second game played later that day, demolishing the Orioles 13-1.

April 9, 2013 BASEBALL - Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Josh Beckett pitches in the first inning of a 9-3 loss to the San Diego Padres in San Diego, California.

The Padres held a narrow 4-3 lead heading into the eighth inning, where they managed to pull away. Padres outfielder Will Venable tied his career-high with four RBIs. The Dodgers recovered from the loss and went on to top the National League West standings before defeating the Atlanta Braves in the divisional series before they were defeated by the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 in the National League Championship Series.

April 9, 2019 SOCCER - Manchester City lose 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in their Champions League quarter-final first leg match in London.

Spurs took full advantage after Hugo Lloris saved Sergio Aguero's first-half penalty and Son Heung-min's goal gave them a precious 1-0 lead heading into the second leg. City trailed 2-1 early in the second leg, but hit back to take a 4-2 lead.

Fernando Llorente's contentious goal then put Spurs in the ascendancy and they qualified for the semi-finals on away goals after Raheem Sterling's late effort was ruled out for offside by VAR. (Compiled by Arvind Sriram in Bengaluru Editing by Toby Davis)
