The headlines this evening. Another breathless six nations saturday. England have won two close ones out of two beating wales at twickenham spot the ball. Scotlands chances of a second straight six nations win are taken away in the dying moments at murrayfield. Erling haaland finds the net for the First Time Since his return from injury. But its liverpool who are still top of the league its barely a week and a bit old but this years six nations has already developed a habit of providing us with some drama. Last weekend the matches involving england, wales and scotland were decided by a total ofjust four points. Those same teams today only had six separating them. To scotlands defeat at the death in a moment but first twickenham where england gave the home fans a late victory to savour over wales. Ben croucher reports. England versus wales, twickenham, a fixture to endure the ages. Notjust for the rivalries and the results but the great and the chance to reflect and respect the ones who went before. Where welsh momentum felt reassured short in scotland, the only way england could stop it was by foul play, penalty try in england had two men in the bin. England had two men in the bin. England needed the one try, ben earle. That surge of energy and dynamism. The hits came hard, the spaces are sprung in englands defence. England back at full strength, wales had the only man that mattered. Strength, wales had the only man that mattered. �. , ~ that mattered. Away goes alex mann. Su erb that mattered. Away goes alex mann. Superb from that mattered. Away goes alex mann. Superb from wales. That mattered. Away goes alex mann. Superb from wales. Halftime that mattered. Away goes alex mann. Superb from wales. Halftime as superb from wales. Half time as 14 5, england needed a shower pans, clinicalfinishing, thing. But with george ford missing the conversion, england didnt have a grasp on this one and neither did mason grady. Time for the referee to make a late call. Penalty england. Yellow for mason. England ahead for the first time and indeed the only time that mattered. When that whistle went. A classic contest . May not but it is england versus wales and it is a rivalry that will continue to mean everything but will long continue to endure. Perhaps a scrappy game if youre a neutral but if youre invested, Heart Thumpingly close. But its england who top the early six nations table while wales search for a first win. That was a tough match in terms of getting down to the fine margins, the i getting down to the fine margins, the 1 plays. The ball was in play for a long period of time and we rode it out with 13 men to a certain degree and we were pleased with our work. We knew we had to keep going with our england way, we have been speaking about it. I think we keep building that. I speaking about it. I think we keep building that building that. I dont think we can use bein building that. I dont think we can use being a building that. I dont think we can use being a Young Building that. I dont think we can use being a young Team Building that. I dont think we can use being a young team as building that. I dont think we can use being a young team as an building that. I dont think we can use being a young team as an excuse. If we use being a young team as an excuse. If we are use being a young team as an excuse. If we are here, we are good enough. If we are here, we are good enough. Ithink if we are here, we are good enough. Ilhink we if we are here, we are good enough. I think we created a of chances, we went i think we created a of chances, we went activated in finishing them. Gulled went activated in finishing them. Gutted. We didnt take the opportunities and we were not accurate opportunities and we were not accurate enough. Our Sports Correspondentjoe Wilson was watching. Joe, the outcome was in doubt until the very end. England will no doubt be relieved to be on the right side of it. But where you used is one england captain used, i do think it was a classic, i dont think there was a lot of creativity or spontaneity by england. I try to remember the times they got the ball out to the wing. Trying to remember those times. They came back from adversity in this game because they were down to 13 men early in the first half, they conceded that penalty try. Their resilience in that regard will be what england take from game. One thing i would mention is that a lot of the players were actually at pay to site a long time after its finished. I can still see them. They are posing for photographs right now. England are aware they dont have an awful lot of credit in the bank with the home support after results in recent years. There is a reconnection with twickenham is really what they managed in the last few minutes here today. Really what they managed in the last few minutes here today. Wales came close from behind few minutes here today. Wales came close from behind last few minutes here today. Wales came close from behind last week, few minutes here today. Wales came close from behind last week, they i close from behind last week, they came close having lied this week. All the variables if you like of trying to integrate new players in a new era. When you think back to last week, first have really poor, second have really good in a match that ended up losing very narrowly. Here, first as excellence, didnt concede any penalties at all. That discipline and the energy went a little bit in the second half at the second half and ended up losing again. There you 90, and ended up losing again. There you go, that is where wales are right now. Not a team that can put together an 80 minute performance. Maybe they might be by the end of the six nations. It could be a tour where wales ended up with just one win but if you look at the performances of kamala winnett, alex mann, waless second try was the best rugby of the match, those other things and the kind of players that in the medium and long term wales can put theirfaith in. In the medium and longterm wales can put their faith in. Can put their faith in. Thank you very much can put their faith in. Thank you very much indeed. Well, just like last weekend, scotland were at the centre of a painfully close finish against wales, it was in eventual victory but today in defeat. The result at murrayfield was on the line, literally, right until the end with france winning 20 16. Jo currie has the story. Cheeks and chest puffed out, Merrifield Boyd and expectant after scotlandnot the opening round victory. Today, hosting a wounded france. The home crowd were given the perfect start. Scotland exploiting space down the right, a quick break and some safe hands. Flan quick break and some safe hands. Sign Scotland get there . Quick break and some safe hands. Can scotland get there .

The cake putting them ahead for the first time in the match. Scotland desperate for that they had won it in the dying seconds, but the replays couldnt confirm the ball was grounded. An unpopular decision that broke scottish hearts unsealed their defeat. Well, it came down to the games final play and it was scrutinised long and hard by both the video official, and the murrayfield crowd who watched as replay after replay sought to find an answer as to whether the ball was grounded for a try that would have brought scotland victory. The end result brought huge disappointment. It was emotionalfor everybody in the stadium. We were celebrating. We can hear the tmo saying the ball was on the ground, we could see the ball on the ground. Huge disappointment that try wasnt awarded in the end. It doenst matter of the terms that france has won this match but what happens now . Can you speak to world rugby, is there any discussion to be had . There is always a review process. People make mistakes but we do have angles to show, it seems a strange one. We are hearing the narrative and the ball hit the ground. It happens, the tmo decides. We have to be clear ahead going into that period. We believe we scored a try to win the game. The Premier League day started and ended with liverpool at the top of the table. But in between Manchester City were the leaders for a couple of hours. And for the First Time Since november they beat everton 2 0 at the etihad thanks to Erling Haalands first goals since november. Alex fletcher reports. Wherever Manchester City ended the day, Erling Haaland was always going to be the centre of attention. Pep guardiola said in a week his side needed to be careful against everton, a team with an eye on matters below them, sean dyches view then providing some familiarity. It was his side that were able to frustrate in the first half, not allowing their opponents a single shot on target and only devastating attack unable to find a way through. When city need a response, there is one man they can usually rely on. It goes to Erling Haaland. A first goal since november after time out with a foot injury. The 15th of the season, from frustration to celebration. There was still time for things to get even better. The Norwegian Linkup play with de bruyne to great effect. Six wins in a row for city in the league, everything pointing to a great title race. Haalands return to the scoresheet is timely for his team and perhaps the title race if not for Manchester Citys rivals. Todays two took him to 21 for the season. We work hard as a team. Fantastic performance, difficult game and good to win. We have already been on a good run now, we win ten in a row in all competitions so we are already doing quite well. I dont know, there has to be something. It is good to win. So after briefly relinquishing their lead liverpool took it back again. Theyre two points clear once more after beating burnley 3 1 in front of a club League Record crowd at anfield. Diogojota putjurgen klopps side ahead with Trent Alexandar Arnold providing assist number 58. A premier League Record for a defender. Burnley clawed a goal back right on half time, dara oshea heading home his First Premier League goal. But luis diaz and darwin nunez both scored in the second half to get liverpool back to the summit. Burnley are seven points from safety. It is not only the three points. You cannot have momentum like that guaranteed all the time. You dont feel it. Ten days ago, nine days ago we played against chelsea and it was an incredible game. But there is always a different challenge. If it is not clicking like immediately, fight through it and that is what the boys did again. It was a really tough situation. It is a difficult one. People think we go through with no real effort, that was never possible. It was a good afternoon. Sheffield united are also seven points from safety but thats because of a win today. Their 3 1 victory at luton was just their third of the Premier League season. It was luton that brought the Betterform Into The Match At Kenilworth Road but were 2 0 behind at half time. A second half rally followed but Vinicius Souza sealed the win for sheffield united, their first on the road this season. pres 00v newcastle went ahead inside ten minutes with a great volley from Bruno Guimares. Two goals from Bruno Guimares helped newcastle to win at nottingham forest. The first came inside ten minutes. A clever short corner and kieran trippier� s cross, ended with a great volley from guimares. Forest levelled it through anthony elanga. He outpaced dan burn and beat the advancing dubravka to make it 1 1. The visitors went ahead again through fabian schar. The defenderfinishing like a striker. That was approaching half time but there was still time for another forest equaliser, Callum Hudson odois deflected shot making it level at the break. Just one goal in the second half would decide it, guimares got his second of the game and newcastles third when he intercepted the ball and curled it in from the edge of the area to make it 3 2 and thats how it ended, newcastle up to seventh, forest remain two points above the relegation zone. Spurs were behind early in the first half against brighton. But scored a winner in the 96th minute to beat them 2 1. Passionate celebrations at full time as the victory takes spurs up to fourth in the table above aston villa who play Manchester United tomorrow. Brennanjohnson got the injury time goal after a pass by the returning son heung min. Brighton had a very good side. We kind of like to discipline and endeavour. Fairto kind of like to discipline and endeavour. Fair to say, we are still a work in progress. That showed today. In the big moments, weve got a world class player. He makes the most difficult fairly simple to set p most difficult fairly simple to set up brennan. A good goalfor us. Elsewhere Rodrigo Muniz scored twice in fulhams 3 1win against bournemouth, theirfirst in the Premier League this year.

Kick off was delayed by eight minutes due to protestors throwing candy on the pitch in opposition to outside investment in german football. Once the pitch was cleared, leverkusen took full advantage of some poor defending to take the lead through former bayern man Josip Stanicic before second half goals from Alex Grimaldo and jeremy frimpong, finished here into an empty net to seal a Statement Win for xabi alonsos side. Five points is also real madrids advantage in la liga after they beat girona 4 0 at the bernabeu.

Thrilling day in the six nations on ourwebsite. Had thrilling day in the six nations on our website. Had there for all the reactions on wins for england and france. Ireland against italy is tomorrow. Thats all from sportsday. Good evening. Its certainly been a challenging week of weather, hasnt it, with snow or rain and some of that rain producing some localized flooding. So it was a refreshing start to the weekend, quieter with some sunny spells. That was oxford and here was the Lake Districtjust a few hours ago, a few scattered showers producing some beautiful rainbow pictures, but all in all, relatively quiet. And it will be a similar story for sunday. Weve got to get rid of this Nuisance Rain thats pushing up through the east of the Pennines Into Eastern Scotland overnight. Thatll be their first thing. Some clearer skies, some Early Morning sunshine the further west you are. And then as we go through the afternoon, a brisk Westerly Breeze will drive in a few scattered showers and these will push inland. So its another day of sunny spells and scattered showers for many and temperatures around 7 to 11 degrees. Were starting to lose that really bitterly cold air now in scotland. Theres more rain to come, though, as we look through the week ahead. The heaviest of the rain into the east to begin with. But then out to the west, we are likely to see a further 50 millimetres of rainfall perhaps in western scotland, wales and south west england. So more unsettled story to come. Low pressure never too far away. And into monday, that low pressure will be sent into the north west, a weak Weather Front producing more cloud ahead of it. The showers out to the northwest will be frequent across northern ireland, northwest scotland, and therell be some snow to the tops of the mountains. Once again, england and wales dry with sunshine around. And again, those temperatures generally between six and ten degrees. Now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, again, itll be a relatively quiet start with this little ridge of high pressure, but all eyes down to the southwest as this next Weather Front will bring some rain slowly but surely into southwest, england, wales and gradually across channel coast towards the midlands by the end of the day. So the best of the drier weather will be Northeast England and into scotland i suspect, on tuesday. And again, those temperatures pretty similar, seven to 11 degrees now. South westerly wind is going to continue to take over. Thatll drive in more wetter weather potentially through wednesday and thursday and with tightly packed, i suppose, the breeze picking up. But with that south westerly flow, it will drive in milder aironce again. So milder still we could see temperatures into the mid teens by the middle part of the week for some. Hopefully, indications are something a little quieter into next weekend. Live from london, this is bbc news. Fighting for food in northern gaza.
