Mark Allen beats John Higgins 10-7 in hard-fought encounter to move into the quarter-finals of the Tour Championship in Manchester.

Mark Allen beat John Higgins 10-7 in hard-fought encounter to move into the quarter-finals of the Tour Championship in Manchester.

"It is fine margins in these matches. I won three frames on the black and I also won a frame with John touching a ball with his sleeve so it could have been a very different scoreline." While four-time world champion Higgins looked assured among the balls compiling a half century in each of the frames he won, he was let down by his long game and the concession of uncharacteristic fouls.

But Englishman Ford, who appeared to settle after taking his first frame of the match with a century, also knocked in a 73 and wonderful 136 to remain in contention when their contest is played to a conclusion on Tuesday at 19:00 BST.
