Boston Red Sox seal World Series with 5-1 triumph over LA Dodgers

It was a second disappointment in as many years for the Dodgers, who lost Game 7 last year to the Houston Astros.

Pitcher David Price and batter Steve Pearce were the match-winners on the night, with Pearce hitting two home runs to complete a one-sided World Series.

Red Sox coach Alex Cora became the first manager from Puerto Rico to guide a team to the title and just the fifth rookie manager to win a World Series.

The Red Sox recorded a team record of 108 wins during the regular season and continued their dominance with their win over the Dodgers.
