The weekend's sporting action in pictures: Mohamed Salah, Gerard Pique, James Cracknell

We look at the photographs of some of the weekend's best sporting action.

Tiger Roll raced into the history books after becoming the first horse since Red Rum to win back-to-back Grand Nationals and 46-year-old double Olympic champion James Cracknell helped Cambridge complete a Boat Race double triumph.

Manchester City and Watford set up an FA Cup final clash, while Liverpool moved top of the Premier League and Arsenal's hopes of a top-four finish were dented at Everton.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at some of the weekend's best sporting action in pictures.
