the stand—in manager celebrated with similar gusto. it wasn't long before he celebrated again as mo salah found a gap only he seems capable of finding. a gift before he departs for the africa cup of nations. chelsea were far from beaten, and their start back came in style. n'golo kante found pulisic. 2—2 in a breathless half of premier league football. after conceding two apiece, they second half saw the goalkeepers come to the fore. mendy kept out salah, and the opposing team and the opposing team stopped pulisic. it finished 2—2, a result that doesn't do much for either side's title hopes, but again was a joy to watch. well, as craig mentioned in his report, there so, missed opportunity for both sides as leaders manchester city stay ten points clear at the time, but post—match, both chelsea and liverpool seem content with the result. i'm happy with the attitude and the quality, and it showed there were lots still we can improve, and still we struggle. — still we can improve, and still we struggle, because also of injuries and we _ struggle, because also of injuries and we have to change the back three a-ain and we have to change the back three again during a match, which is never easy, _ again during a match, which is never easy, and _ again during a match, which is never easy, and always kills the momentum a bit, _ easy, and always kills the momentum a bit, unfortunately. so we don't want _ a bit, unfortunately. so we don't want to— a bit, unfortunately. so we don't want to be — a bit, unfortunately. so we don't want to be greedy. it's for today, it was_ want to be greedy. it's for today, it was absolutely 0k, want to be greedy. it's for today, it was absolutely ok, so a good match _ it was absolutely ok, so a good match of — it was absolutely ok, so a good match of football and i'm happy with my team _ my team. we - my team. we gave it everything. of my team. — we gave it everything. of course, we are disappointed with the two goals we conceded, so close to half—time and being 2—0 up. but i thought the lads came out second half, kept going, showed heart in defending, everybody defending, and then we got our rewards towards the end, that goal on the counterattack. so of course we will be disappointed with certain aspects but i think we can take positives in certain other areas as well. well, there was also a moment of history at stamford bridge as a selection of fans were allowed to legally stand during the match as part of a trial. a senior news reporter, laura scott, has the details of how it worked today. it was a hugely significant match for many reasons. today, 12,000 liverpool and chelsea fans became the first since 1994 to have been legally allowed to stand for the duration of a top—flight game. in reality, many fans have been persistently standing for a number of years, but have done so against a law that was introduced in the wake of the hillsborough disaster. there was a real mix of opinions from fans on their way into the match, with some saying there is a better atmosphere when fans are standing come others voicing some safety concerns and saying that that has to be the priority here. we know the police have some reservations about fans migrating into the standing areas, and a potential deterioration of fan behaviour, but those behind the pilot programme, which runs for the pilot programme, which runs for the rest of the season and involves four other clubs, are confident this can be done safely, with barriers between the rows of seats designed to prevent crowd collapses, and fans still have the option is to sit in their seat if they wish. but unlike their seat if they wish. but unlike the action on the pitch, we won't know the result of the pilot stay at the final whistle. know the result of the pilot stay at the final whistle. of the new year has brought a new era for football. elsewhere in the premier league today, brentford's excellent first season in the top flight goes on as they came from behind to beat aston villa. steven gerard's side took an early lead, and danny ings put villa ahead. but brentford were level before half—time. and the home side snatched the win seven minutes from time. it is live with the winner. the victory moved brentford above their opponents into 12th. so, while brentford enjoy life, everton definitely are not. the pressure continues to mount on manager rafael benitez, and his side were beaten again, losing 3—2 at home to brighton. it is their eighth defeat in 11 matches. it leaves them 15th in the table. i am concerned that we have to improve, especially in defence. you can see that the team push and work hard and then try, but we are missing a little bit of quality in the decisions in the final third, normally, cumberland also the kind of thing we can see, so it has to be something we improve. and there was late drama at elland road as danjames' goal in extra time ensured that united won 3—1 to increase the gap between them and the relegation zone. early remain third from bottom but have games in hand. now to the ashes, which resumes on tuesday evening uk time. ahead of the fourth test, it has been confirmed england head coach chris silverwood has tested positive for covid. he has been isolating in melbourne since late december following a positive sense from one of his family members. he will remain in isolation till saturday. england's squad have also undergone another round of routine pcr tests after a bowler tested positive in sydney. the fourth test will be played there. england are 3—0 down and have already lost the series. obviously, every positive case is not a good thing, but we are just dealing with the fact at the moment and getting tested every day, the doctors say we are in a good place to carry on, and we fully back that, so i'm concentrating on what i'm trying to do and so are all the lads, so we are really focused on the game. let's now get some of today's other sporting headlines. the day after being awarded an mbe in the honours, something else to celebrate. showing his versatility, the cross—country mountain bike champion zac second elite cyclo—cross win in the netherlands. brad hall has won his second silver in as many days at the bobsleigh world cup in latvia as he and nick gleeson finished behind germany in the two—man event. silver too for mica mcneill and adele nicoll as they finished behind the united states in their event. and andy murray will play argentine facundo bagnis in his first match of 2022. britain's former world number one has been awarded a wildcard for this week's australian open warm—up tournament in melbourne. and we'll stay with tennis, as great britain have gotten their atp cup campaign off to a winning start after beating germany in sydney. they won 2—1. it came down to the doubles match as each had won a singles match. they won in straight sets and are next in action on tuesday against canada. we are right behind each player who ever goes out there on the court. we give it our all in the court or on the bench, and, yeah, it's always a lot of fun for us. like the guys say, it is once or twice a year we get to play for team events, and for us, a lot of this is what we will remember when we finished playing, i think. rugby union now and premiership champions harlequins fought back to beat gloucester by 20 points to 17 at kingsholm. they
