Selby claims back-to-back World Snooker titles

Mark Selby has won his second World Snooker Championships title in a row.

He beat John Higgins by 18-frames-to-15 in the final at the Crucible in Sheffield last night.

Selby’s just the fourth player to successfully defend the trophy in the modern era.

It’s his third world title overall but Selby’s admited he didn’t think he’d be able to recover from trailing 10-4 at one stage on Sunday.
