A blustery day and starting to feel fresher. Hello and welcome to sportsday, with me, ben croucher, and holly hamilton. Good evening. The headlines this evening aubameyang sees red as arsenal draw with Crystal Palace in a feisty london derby. Remember southamptons 9 0 defeat to leicester last year . They got revenge by winning at the king power stadium. 200 Manchester United games for Marcus Rashford and he celebrated with two goals as they eased past norwich. Also coming up in the programme itll be rafa against novak, but not as we know it in the final of the atp cup in australia. And its a massive weekend in the nfl. Eight teams still in with a chance of making it to super bowl liv, well look ahead to the play offs. Hello. A very good evening to you. All the days rugby to come too and the very latest from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium asjose mourinho becomes the latest boss to try and stop the juggernaut that is the premier league leaders, liverpool, but we start tonight with a london derby. It was north vs south as arsenal travelled to Crystal Palace looking to continue their upturn in form under new boss mikel arteta. And it was a feisty affair at selhurst park, as Patrick Gearey reports. Nestling in south londons streets, selhurst parks a reminder of football as it was intimate or claustrophobic, depending on your view. The kind of place arsenal might find uncomfortable, but under new manager mikel arteta, there are signs of a new energy that flowed through Pierre Emerick aubameyangs early goal. After such a breathless start, arsenal slowly exhaled. Palace gradually forced them back untiljordan ayew tried his luck, an equaliser in slow motion that owed much to a deflection. Arsenal now became too keen. Initially, aubameyangs tackle was seen as a yellow card, but it proved to be a video nasty. Var was checking. Aubameyang had gone from scorer to suspect awaiting the inevitable sentence. Now a man up, palace might soon have gone a goal up too. James tomkins was denied by sokratis at the last moment. But arsenal hadnt settled on survival. Nicolas pepe saw an opportunity to win it. Vicente guaita in the palace goal refused to be beaten. In that moment, as in the match, arsenals chance had passed. Patrick gearey, bbc news. Lets get the latest from the totte n ha m lets get the latest from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and a round up of all of the rest of todays premier league action. What have you got . We start with the standard fixture of the weekend at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium produce a mourinho is trying to plot this the end of this long unbeaten run for liverpool. It would be 38 games if they do not lose today. In the league, spurs have lost 15 times since liverpool were last beaten around this time last year. At half time it is 1 0 to the away side, the league leaders. Roberto firmino with the only goal of the game on 37 minutes. It was a low finish, not great defending from spurs, their achilles heel in the last few weeks. They have no harry kanein last few weeks. They have no harry kane in the spurs squad this afternoon. He is injured. Their comeback inspiration will have to comeback inspiration will have to come from elsewhere in the second half. It has just got under way, liverpool leading i o. On to the three oclock kick offs. Well, back in october this was the scoreline the last time southampton met leicester, they lost that match 9 0. In the Leicester Club shop they sell the match in full on dvd, but despite that humiliation the saints kept faith with their manager ralph hassenhutl, and today, look at the turnaround. Theyve beaten leicester 2 1. This is more good news for liverpool. Leicester, still their closest challengers, beaten at home for the second time this season. Leicester had taken the lead but southampton pegged them back through Stuart Armstrong and in the second half there was then var contention when leicester thought they had a penalty, but the decision was overruled because of offside, one of those excruciatingly close offside calls weve seen since var was introduced. It then got even worse for the home side. Danny ings scored for southampton to make it 2 1 that was with ten minutes to go. The nine goals from october were played on the big screens inside the stadium before the kick off. This result completes the revival for the manager. We saw a fantastic game today from both sides. Although we had not such a good start with a big chance from danny ings, then we got the first goal. We could fill in every second of the game we could win, and it was perhaps a fantastic performance, perhaps the best performance, perhaps the best performance in away games this season. Performance in away games this season. A great day for ralph hasenhuttl. Well, ole Gunnar Solskjaer called it the worst performance all season when Manchester United lost 3 1 at home to Manchester City in the week, but absolutely no problems for his side today. 4 0 winners over norwich. Marcus rashford got two of the goals on his 200th game for united, Anthony Martial headed in the third, before more optimism came for united in the form of mason greenwoods fourth goalfor them. He is 18 years old. Nine goals for him across Senior Competitions this season. United are a long way off where they want to be but they are into fifth position now. For norwich, things look very grim, rooted to the bottom of the table. Very, very happy. We started on the front foot. You know when you can walk off, and i am sure that the opposition are talking about Manchester United as a very, very hard working Manchester United as a very, very ha rd working team, with Manchester United as a very, very hard working team, with the quality of players we have got, that is what i want for my team and i am delighted. Chelsea are the side still in that Fourth Champions League spot as it stands. They still have a five point cushion on united in fifth thanks to a 3 0 win over burnley. Jorginho scored from the spot, before Tammy Abraham got pretty lucky to make it 2 0, the ball from this position somehow found its way past nick pope in the burnley goal. Another goal for another goalfor tammy another goal for Tammy Abraham, continuing his hot streak this season. And in the second half Callum Hudson odoi got his first goal in the premier league to make it three. Chelseas youngsters are still doing the business. Very convincing. The scoreline is convincing but not as much as it should have been. There was great foot ball should have been. There was great football throughout the game, great passages with chances at the end of them which would have been really good goal is to watch bank. We did not quite get that but the all around performance was superb football. All around performance was superb football. Good all around performance was superb football. Good goals to watch back. So the other results still to mention newcastle lost two players to injury inside the first half at wolves, but they claimed a good point there, 1 1 at molineux, while everton continued their resurgence under carlo ancelotti. A single goal from richarlison enough to beat brighton at goodison. That all means this for the table. Liverpool are leading 1 0 ad tottenham and look at the advantage that would give them at the top. Tottenham and look at the advantage that would give them at the topm is incredible the lead they have at the moment. Southampton have steadily risen away from the bottom three and are 12th now. At the bottom, norwich starting to feel cut adrift now, a big game between bournemouth and watford tomorrow. A growing chasm at the top of the premier league. Joe lenski, thank you very much. Joe lynskey. Rugby union next and saracens chances of reaching the european champions cup quarterfinals remain in their own hands, beating ospreys 22 15 in swansea. They had to do it the hard way too after welsh prop rhys carre was sent off afterjust five minutes for a high, shoulder led tackle. With a further man in the sin bin, dan evans, the victim of that tackle, then scored a try either side of half time, as the ospreys made the most of their numerical advantage. Alex lewingtons try restored sarries lead and 17 points from 19 year old manu vunipola, cousin of england forwards billy and mako, moved the defending champions up to second with a game to play. Loads more going on in the champions cup today. Lets ta ke lets take a look. Agony for exeters stuart hogg. He saw his penalty bounce back off the posts in the dying moments against his former side glasgow. That would have won it for exeter but it finished 3i 3i. Clermont auvergne secured their place in the quarterfinals by beating ulster at the stade marcel michelin. Tries from alivereti raka, george moala and nine points from the boot of morgan parra guided the french side to a 29 13 win. Ulster can still qualify if they beat bath next weekend. Toulouse earned their fifth win from five matches in pool 5, beating connacht to also qualify for the quarterfinals. The french champions ended connachts hopes of a quarterfinal spot. Itll be nadal vs djokovic in the final of the inaugural atp cup after both spain and serbia made it through to the final. Djokovic won serbias tie against russia by beating Danil Medvedev in the singles. Nadal then did the same for spain, coming from behind to beat australias alex di minaur to give spain an unassaiable lead. Remember, this is a new multi nation tournament thats been brought in to kick off the mens season. So is it a welcome addition to the tennis calendar . Thats the question i put to our tennis correspondent russell fuller. Well, it has been a success. That is one thing i would say from this distance. The players are embracing it and who can blame them . They are being handsomely paid, they are getting top quality match practice again some of the other best players in the world in the run up to the Australian Open and unlikely davis cup finals, they are getting ranking points, the currency of the atp tour. There have been a few glitches along the way, matches have finished too late night. Whether it feels like a World Team Cup is debatable but the players have bought into the concept. The issue is, we have had to have these events in the space of six weeks, the davis cup finals with the history, staged in madrid in november and now the atp cup to start the year, similar formats, and asi start the year, similar formats, and as i have said many times before, we would love it if everybody can get their Heads Together and come up with one, preferably big event involving the women as well that was the Global World Cup of tennis. Looking ahead to the Australian Open, the us open champion will not be there with injury. A loss to the tournament given the impact she has had in the game in a short space of time. A big loss. Clearly the right decision. It would have been foolish to try to play with an injury. She spent a lot of time away with a shoulder problem last year, the niche issue developed during the w during the wta finals in china in october. It is a long term issue because she is unable to play at the Australian Open injanuary. She has been phenomenally successful, winning three big titles, the highlight of which was the us open next year and a massive shame we will not see her rubbing shoulders with the likes of Serena Williams in melbourne. Johanna konta has been struggling with injury, out of the Brisbane International early during the week and pulling out of the tournament next week as well . The knee problems are a concern for her. She has been managing that for the best pa rt she has been managing that for the best part of the year. It did not affect in grand slams last year at all. She pulled out in adelaide for precautionary reasons. She is due to practice in melbourne from sunday so i week of practice in of her. I think she will play the Australian Open but it is something that will perhaps be an issue for her going forwards. I do not think the lack of match is going to the Australian Open isa match is going to the Australian Open is a big concern. She is someone open is a big concern. She is someone who can perform in the big events these days, irrespective of how the build up has gone, as we saw in 2019. At the sharp end of the tournament, are we going to be talking about the same players in the mens and womens side of the draw that we have been talking about for the last 15 years . In the mens game, probably. Fascinating to think that if rafa nadal wins the title he draws level with Roger Federer on 20 grand slams each. Novak djokovic still in the mix with 16. Perhaps someone can spring an still in the mix with 16. Perhaps someone can spring an upset and endless run of grand slam titles by those three players. They have won the last 12 after all. In the womens game, hard to tell. A wider group of players could win titles. Last year we had naomi as i can party and simona halep and then and rescue winning the four grand slams. Serena williams is not the great unknown, we know everything about her but she has not won a grand slam since the Australian Open in 2017 but she has come close. Excellent practice for her reaching the final in auckland. If she wins that title on sunday it will be the first title she has won since the Australian Open in 2017 and with end a run of five consecutive grand slam final defeats. It would do her no harm at all as she chases that record grand slam number of titles in melbourne. Next to a really powerful interview with bobby madley. Two seasons ago he was refereeing in the premier league, fulfilling a childhood dream. Hed just started officiating on european matches and internationals too. Then, after sending a video to friend mocking a disabled person, he was fired. And in the last 18 months hes been trying to rebuild his life in norway. Hes been speaking to mark clemmit. Piano music in your own words, what did you do . Somewhat passed by car. I initially genuinely thought they were drunk because they were walking past the car. That is no excuse. I knew when the person what path that it was, they had a walking disability. I took the video, 5 6 second video and idid it took the video, 5 6 second video and i did it to mock myself. I would not mock disabled people. My dad was physically disabled all my life. And i know that is an easy excuse to throughout there and that is not excuseit throughout there and that is not excuse it but i took a video, i imitated, sent it to one person who would know the context of it and i set it as a private text message. Did not post on snapchat. Someone you trusted . Someone i trusted. I did something everyone does, i sent a dark chocolate well, hold on, you cant be sweeping, not everyone does that. 0k, not everyone. It is easily done. Im sure a lot of people do jokes in the same way that i did, not to cause pain, had i posted it on social media, i dont think i got a leg to stand on. How did your life start to unfold and unravel . Got a phone call from my bosses to Say Something has been received about you, we need to discuss it, i was going away on holiday the week after. It has to be cleared up before you go away. I walked the video was on a laptop, did you send this . And i could have lied. I i am not in it, i did not speak in it, he could have done that. But for me, i thought honesty is going to be the best policy. Could you understand straightaway the context with which the people that run the select Group Referees had taken it . If something arrives on anyones desk, bosses deskit arrives on anyones desk, bosses desk it has to be investigated. I have no issue that. The one thing they cant throw at me is that they dont take discrimination seriously. Clearly, they do. Mentally, i have struggled for 18 months. It has taken a toll on the full spice or professional just over taken a toll on the full spice or professionaljust over a month ago. And he was brilliant and he said put it out there. What have you got to lose . If i google my name, everything that comes up is disastrous, in terms of reputation. Soa disastrous, in terms of reputation. So a lot of that was false about posting on social media, no context to it. I have an 18 month without employment now, that is tough. No money . Nothing. I paid the mortgage on my kids house. Could not do that any more. My kit has lost the house, they lost their home. To live in norway, within six months you have to have a job so basically i ended up to have a job so basically i ended up getting a job in a bar. I have never worked in a bar in my life. But it got me out, it got me an opportunity to start speaking to people again. Norway love the premier league. People come into watch football then look at the guy behind the bar and go. So it was actually all right, it wasnt embarrassing. The hard thing was when they asked i left because i wa nted when they asked i left because i wanted have honest conversations and suddenly i found myself not lying, but being guarded as to the truth. And i did not want that. I have a good family around me here in norway, an incredible family in england. Really supportive brother. He has been promoted to the premier league. I am so proud of him for what he has achieved as an individual but it is a little bit bittersweet and i have told him this because i still have that feeling of, that is what i had. And i know that one decision from the n1 decision from my former employers means that i dont have that now. And that is tough mentally to come to terms with. Staying with football, west brom are now top of the championship after they drew with charlton and leeds lost 2 0 at home to sheffield wednesday. Brentford are now third after they beat Queens Park Rangers 3 1 in a west london derby. All of brentfords goals came in the first half at griffin park. Fallon sherrock wants the pdc to double the number of places available to women at the world darts championship. She became the first female player to beat a man at the tournament at the end of last month. And bryony frost and horse frodon have won their first race together since making history at last years cheltenham festival. They won the Silviniaco Conti chase at kempton. Its another massive weekend in the nfl. Eight teams are left in the race to super bowl 5a and theyre all in action over the next 48 hours. Anthony wootton is an nfl reporter. New England Patriots out last weekend, a boost for all the other sides involved . Absolutely and last week, we entered a new decade and a new era for the nfl and it was something new entirely for many football fans because the new England Patriots featured in wild card weekend, normally the coming into the playoffs in this divisional weekend but tom brady, they struggled towards the end of this season and the 42 year old, i wouldnt put it all on him, but he did struggle and last weekend against the tennessee titans, despite his interception against the end of the game, lets wipe that from the titans out the way, they held the Tennessee Team to 14 way, they held the Tennessee Team to 1a points but tom brady struggled to get those touchdowns. So, i dont know if the nfl teams this year would be feeling the new England Patriots coming into divisional weekend. They have lost all the four afc teams featuring this weekend. This year in the nfl. But, it is, lets look at, it is new era for the nfl. We have some exciting new quarterbacks, especially in the afc. Two of them going toe to toe this weekend. John watson of the Houston Texans travelling to the Kansas City Chiefs and with the Baltimore Ravens, the Number One Team in the afc, look out for number eight, lamarjackson. This guy is a revelation for the nfl. He isjust amazing to watch. It does feel like amazing to watch. It does feel like a new year, a lot of people said the last week winners were the people who want to change. The question is, who want to change. The question is, who are the favourites on each side of the draw to get to the super bowl . If you look at it now, surprise last week was the Minnesota Vikings own the newer lens and beating the saints because many would have had those guys down as the favourites on the nse side but i dont think you can look much further from the number one seed dont think you can look much furtherfrom the number one seed in the nse, the San Francisco 49ers. They have had a sore struck much strong season, finishing with a 30 93 record. On the other side of the afc, the Baltimore Ravens are at home tonight, they are the number one seed against that titans team who beat the new England Patriots. It is going to be in the rain. So expect the ball, expect both teams to run it essentially but that is what the Baltimore Ravens do. They are one of the two top three teams to carry the ball, to run the bar more than they threw it this year. Interestingly, those two teams feature this weekend. The vikings and Baltimore Ravens though, the titans have this weapon called derek henry, he is a massive beast, the new England Patriots could not cope with him last weekend, he ran for more than 200 yards, expected to carry it, expect the Baltimore Ravens are carried but the ravens have so much more on the offensive side of the ball and that you see one tomorrow night in the afc, the Kansas City Chiefs, coming up, hosting to sean watson, we should salt assured watson carry his team on his back, they looked dead and buried but they found a way to win, number 99 on the defensive line just 69 days ago, more than that now, from him tearing his pick muscle, and this is an eight monthly, pectoral muscle, he was an inspiration for the texans last week so inspiration for the texans last week soi inspiration for the texans last week so i think you will cause a bit of a test for the chiefs, but i can see that she send the ravens beating the afc championship next week and i see the chiefs potentially winning it and featuring in the super bowl so who have got in the super bowl 50 three . Iam who have got in the super bowl 50 three . I am going for the 49ers against the chiefs. Thejoe montana ball, he won all those super bowls for the 49ers and he went to kansas city, so what are fairy tale that will be. Thank you so much for your insight as always. The winter Youth Olympic Games continue in lausanne right now you can follow the best action on the bbc sport website. Tomorrow theo collins will become the first british long track speed skater to take to the ice in 28 years. His journey to switzerland hasnt been the simplest though as the sport receives no funding in the uk. Our olympic Sports Reporter nick hope has been catching up with him. St moritz is one of the most iconic winter sport venues in the world. But while its frozen lake may be beautiful, it can be brutal, too. Because the ice is moving, cracks develop and it is quite scary going around and seeing big cracks, which is not ideal. But you know, it is an exciting experience. St moritz is an incredible place with a lot of history. And it is great to be competing here. People in the uk will have heard of short track speed skating, this is long track speed skating so tell us how it is different and what you love about it . Short track speed skating is done on a 111 metre rink. Youve got four to six people skating against each other in a race. Long track is on a 400 metres rink and there two people skating just to get the fastest time and overall, the three fastest times will be the people on the podium. The top ones get up to speeds of 35 miles an hour which is really impressive. Yeah, its great fun. 1992 was the last time Great Britain had an olympic competitor in a long track speed skating event so theo collins is making history simply by being here. But his path towards his ultimate career goal, the senior games, could be challenging with his sport currently unfunded, he has to travel abroad just to train. Thats all from sportsday. Well have more at 7. 30. Very good evening. I say that as an expression of greeting rather than as an weather fantastic because it has been one of those days, no getting away for it for much of britain. Dont feel too hard done by, you were not alone, it was as miserable as that for many spots. Simply because we have an active weather system with us at the moment, it is very mild air, some gusty wind ahead of that weather front and then behind it things turn a bit cooler as you will see by way of the night time temperatures. But that front is going to be around and about, you see it is not moving very fast because it is pretty much aligned with the flow at the moment, from the south west, and there is plenty of that flow. It has been wet and windy, i am sure you will know from the cot up in that weather front. Through the rest of the evening, if youre stepping out it is going to be there or there about across all points south, it will be across all points south, it will be a raffle show is behind it, certainly the odd one for Northern Ireland. 2 in some of the sheltered North Eastern spots but never lower than ten or 11 across the south. That means it starts off with a fairly dang start across england and wales but that soon clears away, following behind, much brighter skies, listen the way of when, still some shower, down to about 300 metres in the north and west of scotland. In the midst of even all of that, some sunshine, sunny too with very few showers to speak up across Northern Ireland. That is the weekend done with. A little bit of a lump in proceedings, ridge High Pressure just to finish off sunday, could be a chilly start to monday across the south i will try and avoid the fact that i have to tell you all a bit of that another spell of very wet and windy weather. Initially, piling into the western side of the british isles, notice how dark these blues are, even throwing in a bit of green, this is a very active system indeed. Pushing that delta weather ever further towards the east, snow on the central belt, there are the gusts of wind, 40, 50, possibly even 70 mph. Really quite disruptive, at least the breeze, and when is coming in from the south. So the temperatures are still pretty much where at least they should be for the time of year. Iam here they should be for the time of year. I am here to tell you that the forthcoming week, strong at times, certainly and you can expect further spells of travel disruption. This is bbc news. Im lukwesa burak. The headlines at 7 after days of denial, iran admits shooting down a ukrainian passenger plane over tehran on wednesday, killing 176 people, including four britons. In ukraine, questions over why the plane was allowed to take off from tehran, and tonight, the canadian Prime Minister says he expects a full investigation. This is an extremely serious matter.
