butjurgen klopp needn't worry. diogojota was about to put liverpool in charge. he never lets liverpool down! the run was mesmerising, the finish less so. jota continued to torment arsenal in the second half, but 17—year—old kaide gordon wasn't quite on the same wavelength. it didn't matter. jota's movement for his second was so fast, even the assistant couldn't keep up. he gave offside. the technology corrected him — goal. no salah, no mane, no problem for liverpool. it would get worse for arsenal when thomas partey — hours after returning from the africa cup of nations — again departed early, and there was no way back. liverpool remain on course for a record—breaking ninth league cup, although the headlines belong to one man. katie gornall, bbc news. holders algeria are out of the africa cup of nations after losing 3—1 to ivory coast. frank kessie opened the scoring for the elephants, slotting home from close range. a headerfrom ibrahim sangare made it 2—0 before this finely taken goal from nicolas pepe put ivory coast in control. if ever there was a sign it might not be algeria's day, this was probably it — riyadh mahrez crashing his penalty against the post. they did manage a late consolation, but algeria are out. and equatorial guinea willjoin ivory coast in the knockout stages after beating ten—man sierra leone 1—0 in the other group e game. pablo ganea with the only goal of the game to send equatorial guinea through in second place. in group f, mali ensured top spot in the group with a comfortable 2—0 win against mauritania. in the other game, gambia beat tunisia 1—0 to finish second, with tunisia also advancing to the knockout stages in third. emma raducanu has revealed she was advised not to play her second round match at the australian open because of large blisters on her hand. the british number one says she's learned a lot about herself, after playing through the pain and taking her opponent danka kovinic to three sets before being knocked out. i was struggling with my hand before the match. there were some people in my team that maybe didn't want me to play, but i wanted to go out there and fight through it, see how far i could get. but i thought it was a pretty good learning experience for me. i discovered tools about me and myself and my game that i didn't know i had before, so, yeah, i can take some positives even from this match. montell douglas will become the first british woman to compete at both the summer and winter olympics, after being named in the team gb bobsleigh squad for beijing. she competed in the ioo—metres at the beijing summer games in 2008 and she'll be brakewoman in mica mcneill�*s two—woman sled, four years after she was the team's reserve in pyeongchang. douglas says she's excited to be returning to beijing. i definitely didn't expect to be giving a different sport, going to another olympics — and a winterland picks at that. honestly, the last five years of my transition have been incredible, very challenging, but i've had a great team around me, and thatjourney alone... and to go back to beijing, as you said, it's exciting. england's women have it all to do when they face australia on saturday in their second game of the multi—format ashes series, after losing the first match — a t20 in adelaide — by nine wickets. they are chasing a first ashes success since 2014 and started well. danni wyatt weighed in with 70 runs. england were 137—1 at one stage, but then tahlia mcgrath stepped in. three wickets from her swung the match in australia's favour. and mcgrath then starred with the bat, dominating the england bowlers. a partnership of 144 runs with meg lanning steered australia towards victory. mcgrath was 91 not out, lanning unbeaten on 64. i don't wish to alarm you know, alex, but i've got a slightly scary statistics, and that is because australia have the ashes already, england have to win the series outright. a test match is normally a draw in the series. if it is a draw, i surely would just need two winds and it is all over!— and it is all over! england to come back and come _ and it is all over! england to come back and come back _ and it is all over! england to come back and come back quickly. - and it is all over! england to come i back and come back quickly. another game _ back and come back quickly. another game on _ back and come back quickly. another game on saturday. they need to regroup, — game on saturday. they need to regroup, liquidate went wrong, and a pen to _ regroup, liquidate went wrong, and a pen to come — regroup, liquidate went wrong, and a pen to come back and win on saturday _ pen to come back and win on saturday. —— look at what went wrong, — saturday. —— look at what went wrong, look _ saturday. —— look at what went wrong, look to come back. staying with cricket, and south africa head coach mark boucher has been charged by the sport's national governing body with gross misconduct over allegations of racism. he was one of a number of cricket south africa employees implicated in "tentative findings" by the socialjustice and nation building commission last month. it follows allegations from boucher�*s former team—mate paul adams. jockey robbie dunne has lodged an appeal against his is—month ban from horse racing. he was banned following a hearing last month in which he was found guilty of "bullying and harassing" fellowjockey bryony frost. and scottjamieson leads the abu dhabi championship after an impressive first day. the scot had a bogey—free round of nine under par and is a shot clear of norway's victor hovland. ian poulter went round in 66, alongside fellow englishman james morrison and tyrell hatton, who is the defending champion. and that is all the sport from us. we will see you soon. hello again. thursday was a fairly chilly day, temperatures about two or three degrees below average forjanuary, but for many of us, we had sparkling blue skies for most of the day. and what a beautiful weather watcher picture this is from buttermere in cumbria. slightly less beautiful were the skies in east anglia. we had a shower stream coming down the north sea. and for norfolk and, to a degree, suffolk, quite a few showers here, but they are fading away. right now, as the winds start to change direction to more of a northwesterly, that shoves the showers over towards belgium and the netherlands. otherwise we've got clear skies for many areas. and it's a cold one for sure, temperatures at their lowest about —6, —7. southern wales, central, southern england the coldest spots. might be very cold and frosty, but it should be bright with plenty of sunshine to start the day for most of us. even this cloudier zone in the west will be prone to a few breaks during the morning, so you could see a few glimpses of sunshine for a time. cloud tends to thicken through the afternoon. could threaten an odd patch of light rain or drizzle for the western isles and highlands. 8 to 9 degrees in the west. otherwise, temperatures at 6s and 7s. now, friday night is where we keep those clear skies. again, temperatures will fall away to give us some patches of frost. it is going to be patchy rather than extensive, so not as overall cold across england and wales. and the thickest cloud across northwest scotland, temperatures about 8 overnight in stornoway. this weekend, the tendency is for the weather to turn a little bit cloudier. there will be a lot of drier weather to come. some sunny spells, but we could have a bit of frost and fog to contend with as well. essentially, as we go through the weekend, high pressure�*s still there. we're starting to get this milder air recirculating back around the high and particularly moving into northern areas of the uk, where we'll see the highest temperatures, particularly for northern scotland. saturday, mist and fog could be an issue first thing in the morning. otherwise, we've got some patchy of frost, but then we'll have some sunshine to compensate across central and eastern areas. in the west, it continues to turn milder, but that's because we've got extensive cloud, thick enough to bring some rain to western scotland, where temperatures reach i! celsius. second half of the weekend, again, we could go into sunday with some fog patches around. some of it could be quite dense, a few frost patches as well. overall, a little bit more in the way of cloud for most areas, with some mist and hill fog patches around the coasts, a bit of drizzle for western scotland, where it'll continue to be particularly mild. that's your weather.
