Good morning, America. It's April 11, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by every morning for more headlines from around the world.

Leicester City beat Sunderland 2-0, which gave the Foxes a (brief) eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. It also ensured Leicester's qualification for next year's Champions League. Claudio Ranieri cried tears of joy at the final whistle.

Elsewhere, Tottenham beat United 3-0 to return Leicester's lead to five points.

It was a weekend of derbies in the Bundesliga, where Schalke and Dortmund tied 2-2, Bayern beat Stuttgart 3-1 and Leverkusen beat Cologne 2-0. (Our hero, Chicharito, scored.)

The Masters wrapped this weekend. On Sunday, American Jordan Spieth blew a five-shot lead, mostly thanks to this triple bogey on 12 (video below).

Spieth basically gifted Englishman Danny Willett the win. The real hero turned out to be Willett's brother, who didn't miss his opportunity to "take the piss" on Twitter. He also won £2,122.50 by putting a £60 bet on Danny, who was a 55/1 underdog. That's a good brother!

Rugby pro Alexandre Dumoulin suffered a horrific nose gash in a Champions Cup match over the weekend. Yikes!
