thanks forjoining us on the programme. lots to get through but we start with football on a busy night of action around europe. in the premier league there s been two huge matches with implications at both ends of the table. manchester united moved back into the top four, after a 1 0 win over brentford at old trafford. marcus rashford with the goal in the first half. it s a victory that lifts united back above tottenham in the race for champions league places. i think we played very good foot tall, especially the first half, it s not easy against this very brentford good team. we took great chances, dominant, the first half especially. the second half it was better but we saw what i missed on the sunday, determined, passion and desire, and we draw it over the line. and manchester united are level on points with newcastle who stay third but improved their goal difference even further with a 5 1 demolition of west ham at the london stadium. callum wilson and joelinton
