Kilmarnock enjoy their first win over celtic in nearly six years, as Brendan Rodgers suffers only his second domestic defeat at the club. Also coming up in the programme. Doubles trouble for Great Britain as spain take a 2 1 lead in their world group tie. And australia get off to a flyer in the t20 tri series, beating new zealand by seven wickets theyll face england on wednesday morning. What a start to the six nations campaign. Earlier we saw wales claim a stinging victory over scotland in cardiff. But there was plenty of drama still to come in paris, it all came down to the final seconds of the game and a stunning performance from Johnny Sexton who finished what he had started to clinch victory with a last gasp drop goal from the half way line. In the six nations france have been left trading on mystery when the smoke clears who knows what will emerge . Perhaps magic, perhaps a disappearing actment ireland prefer more reliable plans. Get on egyptian sex on the to get them. Points were outnumbered by bruises. Solid from ireland, turgid for the viewer, sexton kept the irish ahead but they never got clear. Dragged into a dog fight on the greasy ground. Ground. What they hadnt counted on with a frenchman with greyhound pace. Teddy thomas tore through irelands carefully laid plan. France were ahead. Time was short. Enough left to give them a chance to make sure. This penalty would have put them four points clear, france, remember are would have put them four points clear, france, rememberare never predictable. The gap was stilljust one, the clock was past 80 minute, any error from either side could mean the game. Ireland looked for certainty, they looked for sexton. It looks good. He likes it. And ireland have stolen the game right at the death. Sometimes the reliable can be spectacular. M right at the death. Sometimes the reliable can be spectacular. It was one of those moment i was happy i got another chance. I had to kick to got another chance. I had to kick to go two scores leer clear, the last moment something caught my eye. Hgppy moment something caught my eye. Happy to get another chance to get the victory for the boys who worked so the victory for the boys who worked so hard for the last two week, all other goals would have crumbled if we had lost. It is great to be in the position after the away win. After flying high in the autumn, Gregor Townsends side travelled to the prinicipality stadium in hope of beating wales for the first time in ten years. Instead, the hosts were ruthless claiming a bonus point win and bursting scotlands bubble. 0ur correspondent joe wilson was there. The scottish players a couple of minuteses after the end of the game must be wondering what had happened. How can hay go from beating australia, to being overwhelmed by wales here in cardiff. I think maybe they were guilty of perhaps trying too much too early. Trying to be too creative, but not getting through the phases, wales missing so many players, made everything about home advantage here in cardiff count. The six nations is designed to stir you. But does it inspire or overwhelm . Josh adams was making his debut for wales here. Steady now if you get a chance, snatch it. Interception. Opportunity for wales. Scotland could see their prematch optimism disappearing after six minutes, as Gareth Davies reached the line. Wales led 14 0 at half time. Scotland tried the fancy stuff and failed. Wales did basics brilliantly. Leigh halfpenny scored two tries. Who saw this coming . Well, not the scotland coach. Now, the welsh flourish to finish. Four tries in a match means a tournament bonus point. At its best, rugby is power, pace and agility. In other words, steff evans. 34 7 final score. England next. Had happened. How can hay go from beating australia, to being overwhelmed by wales here in cardiff. I think maybe they were guilty of perhaps trying too much too early. Trying to be too creative, but not getting through the phases, wales missing so many players, made everything about home advantage here in cardiff count. It is funny how emotions and optimism and pessimism can change after one match. So let us get some post match reaction after that welsh victory. We have trained well in the last two weeks and i said to the players i think well better them. We took what we have been doing on the Training Pitch and been clinical, and we went out and produced a good performance. I am proud of the way the guys have played, but the way they have trained for the last couple of weeks, there was a quiet confidence in the squad. They put their heads down and played pretty well. It was a very open game in the first 15, 20 minutes, probably too open for both teams, and we didnt make the most of the ball we had, because it was probably the best way of attacking and getting behind the defence, and those mistakes gave wales confidence, and from that, once they went two tries up they looked like they were into their game much easier than we were. There is a long way to go in the six nations of course, but when you win your first match so convincingly, suddenly, everything seems possible. Plenty of more premier league action. A few managers probably wanting to show off their new purchases. Yes. We have some good games in the premier league. Mkhitaryan, a new signing for arsenal having a hand in that early aaron ramsey goal against everton. Koscielny headed in a second. This was after 13, 14 koscielny headed in a second. This was after 13, 1a minutes, very co mforta ble. Was after 13, 1a minutes, very comfortable. Aaron ramsey again with the third, that is his second, big deflection but he will take that, and then they scored again, before half time, the big one, 0biang, the big signing this week, he started, despite illness that we heard about in the run up to this game, scoring on his debut, aaron ramsey with the fifth. Everton have pulled one back, but by then the game had gone. Aaron ramsey the 20th arsenal player to score a hat trick. That is more than any other premier league club. A good end to the week for arsenal. Let us look at the top of the table. Even though Jose Mourinho let us look at the top of the table. Even thouthose mourinho conceded that this week that it is hewn lick any club is going to be able to cash Manchester City no one seemed to tell burnley that. They held city to a one all draw. Ok, so Manchester City, supreme so far this season, but could they do it on a cold wet afternoon in burnley . They showed their commitment to prove that early on. Captain kompany going close, and colliding with the home goalkeeper. But with the effort came the execution. Danilo is a defender. It doesnt matter. And while the strong start continued, city only remained ahead thanks to their goalkeeper. Before sterling had the chance to really cement his sides dominance, and the managerfelt that would be costly and he would be right. Not at first though, ederson again magnificent, denying lennon a debut goal, while at the other end sterlings afternoon continued to be anything but sterling. What a miss. It was the cue for burnley to punish the league leaders. They hung on in this game and just eight minutes from the end of it, they were equals again. So, while city can do it almost in any weather, any day, at any time, that wasnt quite the case on a cold wet afternoon in burnley. That was talk point of the game. They are. The lead down to just 13 point, Pep Guardiola wont lose too much sleep about dropping point, wa nt much sleep about dropping point, want he may be concerned is about is missing some of those chance, we saw sterling there, really one of the misses of the season. If anyone is losing sleep, i suspect it might be him this evening. For burnley, a really good draw for them, having been behind, such is Manchester Citys dominance this season, anyone who picks up points against them has had a very good day. Let us get some reaction from that match. What they have done this season is amazing, the way they play. We control it perfect. My feeling is we control it perfect. My feeling is we control it, but we were able to score again. Maybe we would have been easier but when this happens it is normal so they a good team, in that situation, but we control it good. I was really pleased. It is a side that are top class, we know that, we have been beaten before them in two previous game, we had to change something. We wanted to go long and strong and into that back line, we didnt play with the quality needed, we had a great chance and a great chance for a corner they didnt have nuech for a team of their quality. Second half they started really well and we had to keep our shape. Row are not going to dominate these game, you have to do all the ugly stuff, the diligence, the shape, which we did, kept them as minimal as we could and we grew into the gamel as we could and we grew into the game i thought. There was a sombre start to Manchester Uniteds game against Huddersfield Town with united commemorating the 60th anniversary of the munich air disaster. Players were wearing black armbands, fans received a commemorative book and a minutes silence was observed before kick off. United had to wait. They had several penalty shout, they had to be patient, they were, the goal did dully come. That man there lukaku got the first, the second, that is the one the fans at old trafford we re the one the fans at old trafford were waiting for, sanchez, with his first goalfor the were waiting for, sanchez, with his first goal for the club. A co mforta ble first goal for the club. A comfortable afternoon for united. United. 2 0 winners in the end. They barely had to get out of second gear. Let us hear whatJose Mourinho had to say. I guess we had round probably 80 of ball possession in the first half, but, it was not enough to score a goal, in the second half we kept doing basically the same. The ball arrived and with 10i the same. The ball arrived and with 10 i felt the same. The ball arrived and with 1 0 i felt the game was totally controlled, our defensive live was line was far from the dangerous areas, then the second goal killed the game. Emotional day as west brom celebrated the life of cyril regis in their first home gaem since he died. Ron atkinson, dion dublin and former player and manager at west brom bryan robson. Fans of both teams then held scarves aloft for cyrille in an emotional tribute. For all the black people of my age that played football professionally, semi pros, Cyrille Regis was the one. If id been Cyrille Regis, i think i would have been tempted to just walk away from it all. The best way to deal with all that rubbish that he had to put up with, the only way really, was to be brilliant. A difficult day for them and on the pitch as well. This was a big one, rooted down at the bottom of the premier league, a big game also for southampton, they have gone several without a win, west brom did take the lead early on. Then three goals for southampton put them in control. West brom pulled one back in the second half but it wasnt going to be enough. West brom have got a lot to do to turn their season around. A really good result for southampton, having gone into that one 13 games without a win, they have got that, so without a win, they have got that, 03 without a win, they have got that, so a good afternoon for them. Leicester city without mahrez, he went Leicester City without mahrez, he we nt awo l Leicester City without mahrez, he went awol during the transfer window, did they miss him today . That saga continue, he has been missing from training for three or four days after that move to Manchester City fell through. I suspect the players would have been desperate to prove they can do it without him. Vardy put them ahead, but swansea, they have some fight, thatis but swansea, they have some fight, that is now seven games in all competitions without defeat. They pulled one back through their captain fernandez, so a good afternoon for them, 1 1 the final score. Let us look at the rest of the results are. Bournemouth against stoke, the results are. Bournemouth against sto ke, sto ke the results are. Bournemouth against stoke, stoke dropping into the relegation zone. Yes, they are in big trouble. They had gone ahead in that one, so good afternoon for bournemouth. The other one brighton beat west ham 3 1. Some terrific goals, well worth watching match of day for those. Very angry west ham fa ns day for those. Very angry west ham fans at the end of that. 3 1 the final score. Let us look at the top of the table. Manchester city their lead at the top isjust 13 points but those Manchester City their lead at the top is just 13 points but those at the top half, all seem to be safe 110w. The top half, all seem to be safe now. Yes, you would have to think so, it is turning into a league of two halves now, all the teams at the top are looking comfortable. Particularly Manchester City. Everton and bournemouth are in that category where they should be fine. I think you are right. Different story at the bottom of the table. It really is very very tight down there, a few wins will take any of those clubs out of that picture, west brom though, a bad defeat for them today, they remain at the bottom. Stoke beaten as well. They drop into the relegation zone. Well, Manchester City might be running away with it at the top of the premier league, but it does seem that there is plenty to play for in the rest of the league. It is terrible when we are saying only 13 points. Thank you. It is a similar story in the scottish premiership. But today celtic suffered only their second domestic defeat under Brendan Rodgers as kilmarnock claimed a 1 0 victory at rugby park. Nick parrott was watching. Steve clark said his kilmarnock side needed to play a perfect game. Given they had only lost once this season he would need luck too. That arrived with boyata limping off with a groin strain and ajer injuring his ankle. Celtic were exposed to danger when kilmarnock went forward. In the 70th minute they could hold out no longer. Mulumbu ending his four year goal drought in style. Kilmarnocks winless streak goes back further, yet they could have scored more. Jordan jones spurning a golden opportunity and mulumbu doing almost everything right. Killie would have paid dearly but for mcdonald saving celtics only shot on target in the 90th minute. Defeat wouldnt derail Brendan Rodgers but with the europa tie looming an injury list is what he doesnt want. Elsewhere, aberdeen closed to gap at the top of the premiership to just eight points after their 3 0 victory over hamilton. Bottom side ross county beat dundee four one. There were also wins for hearts and hibs while it ended in a draw at fir park between motherwell and partick thistle. Tennis now, and britain face an uphill battle in marbella to rescue their david cup tie with spain, after losing in the doubles this afternoon. Jamie murray and Dominic Inglot were beaten in straight sets by Pablo Carreno and Feliciano Lopez which means britain have to win both singles matches tomorrow to be victorious. Sue barker and john lloyd watched the action. John, in the end a disappointing doubles result. I think we felt going into it that jamie murray and dom inglot were the favourites in this match. I thought they were. It can happen. It is a clay court, a tough match. You hope they play at their best. If they lose, they lose. Today it wasnt that way. I thought jamie murray played well but dom inglot had a day he would want to forget. He served double faults on crucial points and lopez was the best player on the court. So it is a tough match. Lopez and correno busta, they targeted dom a fair bit. That is what you have to do. Of course. He was the weak link today. He has played good matches in the past. He was trying to find it, they were trying to get him going, jamie and leon smith. Almost got it back in the third set, but it was too late. The momentum was with Great Britain after norries victory yesterday. Now the momentum has gone to spain and the spanish captain can choose any one out of five. He just needs one win tomorrow. The match was the big one today. I thought we were going to win the tie. I didnt think at the beginning of the match. Now spain is a heavy favourite. The way correno busta was playing today i think he will be on for one of those singles. What do you think about leon smith and what he can do . Do you any if kyle is fit he would love to get out there. I would love him to play. It would be a boost for the team if he does. I would like him to take on this match. He is about to be our new number one player. Let him show what he can do, look at what he did at the australian open. I hope he plays. The single matches are tomorrow and you will be able to see them on bbc two at 10. 00, we less have live coverage we will have live coverage of the first singles matches. That is tomorrow. Cricket next, and england now have an idea what theyre up against in the t20 tri series, after australia beat new zealand comfortably in the opening game. Austrlia will be the first side eoin morgans team in hobart on wednesday morning and they will be confident after winning todays rain interrupted match in sydney by seven wickets. Stuart pollitt reports. First game an it was new zealand feeling the heat from the start. In sydney. Thanks to billy stanlake. He was too quick for munroe, this was undrodge. This was unplayable to dismiss guptill. While the hosts relied on a tall man new zealand looked to a grand home. Colin degrand home has the fastest strike rate in t20 cricket. Despite his unbeaten 38 the kiwis could only post 117 9. Surely that wouldnt be enough. Rain reduced the target to 95 in15 enough. Rain reduced the target to 95 in 15 over, debutante darcy short didnt last long and neither did captain david warner. Ne
