Lisowski leaves opponent stunned
Jack Lisowski left snooker rival Mark Allen stunned after he was defeated at the Scottish Open.
World No.5 Allen twice trailed in the match before claiming a 4-3 win on Thursday to reach the quarter-finals of the Edinburgh tournament.
Allen, 38, achieved a break of 68 to decide the match in the final frame.
However, during the final frame Lisowski missed a pivotal pot on the red ball to the bottom-right pocket as the red kissed against the cushion.
But Jackpot, perhaps in frustration, then sensationally grabbed the green ball and arrowed it into the far corner where he had tried to pot the red before shaking hands with Allen to finish off the game.

O’Sullivan’s ex speaks out
Laila Rouass says she feels “stronger and sexier” following her split with snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan.
The Sun revealed in September that the pair had broken up following 13 years together.
In an emotional Instagram post Laila lifted the lid on how she has coped with the split.
She wrote: “Break ups can strip you down to your essence.
“I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It’s normal, don’t beat yourself up.
“One thing I’m conscious of not doing is trying to get back to what I was. No, i’m discovering who I’ve become.
“I’ve gone through various emotions… hurt, pain, anger but what I’ve realised about anger is that it’s bottomless.
“It can go on and on and once you’re in that black hole…it’s very hard to drag yourself back out.
“Anyone going through a break up… I want to tell you that you will come out the other side.”
