11:30pm. now time to find out if ollie foster is laughing or crying in sportsday. i'm crying, but have wiped away the tears. here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight: it's a hat—trick of wins for chelsea over spurs as they consolidate third in the table. we've had late drama in european rugby�*s champions cup with places in the knockout stage at stake. and the hopes of a nation — barty is still flying the flag for australia in melbourne. hello and welcome to sportsday. let's start at stamford bridge where the full—time whistle has just gone in the last of the day's four premier league matches. chelsea playing spurs for the third time in as many weeks. chelsea won home and away in the league cup semifinal and they dominated the first half, seven corners and seven attempts on hugo lloris�* goal. but that was the only one on target. the frenchman punching away hakim ziyech's effort. spurs had a goal disallowed just before the break. harry kane finding the net, but the referee paul tierney spotted a shove in the back of thiago silva. chelsea made all their possession count in the first ten minutes of the second half. lloris this time made no attempt to save that from ziyech as he found the top corner and they followed that a few minutes later with another. mount�*s free—kick headed in by thiago silva. 2—0 it finished, a first premier league defeat for spurs under antonio conte. chelsea remain third and looking very good for a top four finish now. after manchester city dropped points yesterday, liverpool have gained some ground on the leaders with a 3—1 win at crystal palace. the scoreline at selhurst park sounds convincing, but it really wasn't and liverpool benefited from another one of those var decisions. adam wild reports. for those crystal palace fans studying the form, it is perhaps best not to look too far back. the last time at liverpool were here, they beat palace 7—0 and such was their domination of the opening minutes, those fans that may have been fearing the worst again. liverpool know every win now is vital if they are to make up the gap at the top, a second from alex oxlade—chamberlain and in truth, they could have been more. crystal palace had a different prospect to teams of the past and back they came, finding belief, and when they finally found a way through, it was entirely deserved. came agonisingly close to an equaliser, they would have had one if it had not been for the liverpool keeper. but this wasn't settled by the actions of the keeper at the other end. —— this was settled. the referee decided it was a penalty, plenty at selhurst park who really did not agree. fabinho scored it, liverpool won it. but this was far from comfortable. let's hear from the two managers, starting with liverpool'sjurgen klopp, his side are now nine points off the top, with a game in hand. each premier league game is and can be difficult. as we saw today. we do not take it for granted that we will win these games, but we did in the end with possession and more chances, we deserved to win it, but it made it a bit more exciting than necessary. we know that, we take that, we will work with that and then we will see what will happen in then we will see what will happen in the next few months. we then we will see what will happen in the next few months.— then we will see what will happen in the next few months. we suffer a lot in the first half, — the next few months. we suffer a lot in the first half, but _ the next few months. we suffer a lot in the first half, but we _ the next few months. we suffer a lot in the first half, but we came - the next few months. we suffer a lot in the first half, but we came back. in the first half, but we came back in the first half, but we came back in the _ in the first half, but we came back in the second half and i think the momentum and physically we had that momentum and physically we had that momentum and physically we had that momentum and we scored that goal and it was_ momentum and we scored that goal and it was a _ momentum and we scored that goal and it was a good _ momentum and we scored that goal and it was a good run and a really well collected — it was a good run and a really well collected game at. we scored and the game _ collected game at. we scored and the game was _ collected game at. we scored and the game was there for us to try to get the draw— game was there for us to try to get the draw but the referee really kitted — the draw but the referee really killed our legs today. arsenal could have moved into the top four with a win at home to burnley, but they were held to a goaless draw. the gunners had enough chances to win it, but burnley keeper nick pope had a good game for the bottom side. they have a lot of games in hand. they remain four points off safety but do have four games in hand. that's five games in all competitions without a win for arsenal. we put them under real pressure, we tried in every different way. we lacked the quality to finish the actions and they did it better than what we did, to have more shots on target than we did, and when we have a really low block and the way they were defending, you need that creativity to win matches and today we did not do that because we did not score. one other result in the premier league — patson daka gave leicester the lead straight after the break at home to brighton, but danny welbeck scored an equlaiser in the last five minutes — 1—1 at the king power. chelsea slipped up in the women's super leauge, the reigning champions have lost second spot after they were held to a goalless draw at brighton. striker fran kirby had the best chance of the match late in the second half, but couldn't get past brighton keeper megan walsh who had an outstanding game. brighton had lost the previous four league games, big opportunity missed by chelsea. there's a full programme in the wsl with all 12 teams in action. manchester united have moved above chelsea into second after a 3—0 win over tottenham. aston villa got a late winner at leicester. bottom club birmingham were 2—0 up but lost 3—2 at reading. west ham beat everton 3—0. arsenal face manchester city, hoping to move four points clear again — that one isjust about to get under way. the knockout stage at the africa cup of nations is under way. burkina faso against gabon the first of the last 16 ties. it finished 1—1 after extra time — burkina faso taking the lead before gabon�*s injury—time equaliser. gabon were down to ten men, but it's now a penalty shoot—out, where the next match in the last 16 kicks off in the next 15 minutes. nigeria, the only team with a 100% record in the group stage, are facing tunisia. let's have a quick look at some of the other headlines. in golf, belgian thomas pieters won the abu dhabi hsbc championship. he went round in level par in his final round to finish on ten under to win by a single shot. that's his sixth tour title. there was another wash—out in the women's ashes with the third t20 abandoned in adelaide. australia lead england 4—2 in the multi—format series and they will retain the ashes if they win the one—off test that starts this week. at the age of a7, sebastien loeb has become then oldest winner of a world championship rally. the nine—time world champion won the season opening monte carlo rally as a guest driver for ford. he retired from full—time rallying ten years ago. the quarterfinal line—up at the australian open is beginning to take shape. rafa nadal survived the longest tie—break of his career to come through in straight sets against adrian mannarino. ash barty, the world number one, is carrying a lot of expectation in the women's draw, as she looks to become the first home champion in melbourne in 44 years. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. here that? it is all australia's expectation, all fur ashleigh barty. herjob was to serve, to play, to ignore everything but the ball. first set 6—4. ok australia, get carried away, just about. her opponent, amanda anisimova, at 20 may well win a grand slam one day, women's tennis has so many possibilities, but ashleigh barty is ranked number one for a reason. when she finds her best level, who can live with it? second set 6—3, into the quarterfinal, melbourne sees her future. she is the only champion that they can imagine. after 20 years in professional tennis, something new first rafael nadal, i6 something new first rafael nadal, 16 points to win a tie—break, a staggering first set against adrian mannarino. from there, the frenchman understandably failed, rafael nadal threw in three sets, because he is in another because i'm title at 35? you have to be in it to win it and unlike roger federer and novak djokovic, nadal is. so, nadal through to the quarters. next up for him is the canadian denis shapovalov who stunned the third seed alexander zverev. if he is able to keep improving, he will be a multi—grand slam winner. he has a lot of amazing things of his game and his results so that. when he is playing well, it is very difficult to stop him. we've had the final pool matches in rugby unions european champions cup. wasps have failed to qualify for the knockout stages. they had to beat munster or avoid a heavy defeat but went down 45—7 in limerick. simon zebo scored two of the home side's six tries. he has another record european try scorer. —— he is now their record try scorer. they were already sure of qualifying and finish the pool stage in third. sale have also made it through to the last 16, they beat ospreys 49—10. sale suffered a narrow defeat to clermont last week which put their qualification hopes on hold, but the win was never in doubt. this was the best of their seven tries and also the final one. jack metcalfe going over. ospreys remain bottom of pool a with no match points. a terrible campaign. stade francais needed at least a six—point winning margin to make it into the last 16 and remarkably, they did it, in the last few seconds of the game against already qualified connacht. joris segonds kicked the penalty to give iii—man stade a 37—31 victory. exeter are through and currently losing at montpellier, which means they're heading to a last 16 tie with munster as things stand. but it is changing all the time. luckily we have another sportsday so i can bring you all the live sport, thatis i can bring you all the live sport, that is at 7:45pm. the penalty shoot—out in gabon, no penalties have been messed. i will have that result for you or going to look on the bbc sport website. i will be backin the bbc sport website. i will be back in an hour, see you then. hello, and a very warm welcome again to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, mark kermode again. hi, mark. hello. we are fully into award season... yes! ..as you can tell by the kind of big beasts that are coming into the cinema. so we have belfast, which is the new film by kenneth branagh. we have nightmare alley, which is the new film by guillermo del toro. and we have ajournal forjordan, which is the new film by denzel washington. so, belfast. yeah. kenneth branagh grew up in belfast. he did. some people might not realise. and this is very much inspired by his childhood. it is the story of a nine—year—old boy in �*60s belfast whose main worry is he's fallen in love with somebody at school and he doesn't know how to talk to her and he needs to take advice on the subject, and he takes advice largely from his grandmother and grandfather, played by ciaran hinds and damejudi dench. here's a beautiful clip from belfast. the wee girl is still showing some interest, yeah? she looks at me sometimes, but we're not allowed to talkj in the class, so i . can't say anything. and then, when we goj out to the playground, she always goes off| with the other girls. anyways, i think she i loves that other fella. ah, you don't know that for sure. women are very mysterious! and women can smash your face in two, mister! your granny has become less mysterious over the years. so, you really like her? when i grow up, i want to marry her. yeah, sounds like you really like her. you know, she's not only at school. you could see where she lives maybe. it's reynolds drive, _ four houses in from the right — the one with the wonky eight. well, you've done your research. i pass it every day on the way home. i try to look in, - but she never sees me. she's always doing - her bloody homework! if she were a wee bit| more stupid like me, we'd be sitting together by now. ah, pity beyond all telling is head and the heart of love. ah, he's full of pretty answers, that one! come on, it's time to go. we don't want your mummy shouting at me because you're late. cheerio, son! cheerio! aw! now, everyone — everyone in my ear, everyone who's listening to that — they're all chuckling in a really lovely way. none of us have seen it, and we all already want to see it, i think. it's lovely. and then, of course, what happens is that with the rise of the troubles, there are, you know, barricades and divisions and the world around him starts to change. and so, here's the thing with the film — on the one hand, it's like, you know, john boorman�*s hope and glory is being referenced here, because it's like a child's—eye view of conflict. yep. it also has something of alfonso cuaron�*s roma — which, of course, was a big success at the oscars.
