Also coming up on sportsday. Well have all the latest at the World Athletics Indoor Championships as home Favouritejemma Reekie makes it through to the 800m final. Hello there, and welcome along to the programme. A day of drama in the football to come but we start with formula one, and the season opening bahrain grand prix. With all the drama off the track for red bull, the team and defending champion Max Verstappen picked up where they left off last season, verstappen leading his team mate in a dominant win. Our correspondent laura scott reports. If there is one person keen to get a grip on the narrative, it is christian horner. Having spent weeks denying allegations of inappropriate behaviour, he arrived for the first race flanked by his wife and former spice girl geri horner. A display of unity in the desert amid the drama. It is lights out and away we go who better to diffuse the heat surrounding red bull than the cool headed Max Verstappen . A slick start kept the World Champion in front and his rivals were soon nowhere to be seen. Hope for Lewis Hamilton soon fell flat courtesy of a battery issue, and then this. Grabbing the bull by the horns, Max Verstappen made it into a procession. His team mate sergio perez the nearest challenger, some 20 seconds behind. Picking up where he lost left off last year, he was focused, fast and first. A 1 2 for the team, much to christian horner� s delight. Thank you very much. Red bull starting the season with a bang, bringing the team together, but the turbulence off the track continues. Laura scott, bbc news. So, the perfect start to the season for Max Verstappen. Heres what he had to say a little earlier. Unbelievable. I think today went even better than expected, i think the car was really nice to drive on every compound, and i think we had a lot of pace and it was super enjoyable to drive today. We stayed out of trouble and a great start to the year. It could not have been better. A huge win for Max Verstappen today. To the Premier League now, and several late goals which proved the difference, which was very much the case at the city ground, as liverpool scored a winner deep into stoppage against Nottingham Forest to pull four points clear at the top of the table. It looked as though it would end goalless, but in the ninth minute of added time at the end of the match, darwin nunez, on as a substitute forjurgen klopp� s side, headed home from an alexis mac Allister Ball back into the box, when the reds were throwing everything at the forest goal in search of the winner. And they got it, much to the delight of the manager, with a bit of Breathing Room now between his side and their rivals. Forest remain a place above the bottom three. To get through with the points tally was, for us, a big fight. It never was easy, it never came easy to us. You could be 2 0 up after 20 minutes and we have not had that for a while. Its really tough. We dont wave the white flag. We will fight, we will keep fighting and lets see. More drama for everton today, in the news this week after having their points deduction reduced. But two stoppage time west ham goals ruined their day at goodison park. Everton took the lead thanks to beto, whod earlier missed a penalty. The hammers fought back, though kurt zouma equalised. Tomas soucek then scored a second for them, with Edson Alvarez completing the win for west ham, who move up to seventh with their second victory in a row. The boys showed great resilience, stuck at it and maybe a few things went for us today which have not gone in the last 6 8 weeks. People getting sent off and penalty kicks, so quite a few things that have not gone our way. Today the goalkeeper makes a great save from the penalty and we scored, thomas scored a brilliant goal and the third one is a counter attack. Well done to the lads, they did a brilliantjob today. Late goals at tottenham too, Ange Postecoglous side coming from behind to beat Crystal Palace in north london. Son heung min capped off the 3 1win, which moved them closer to fourth place at the time. Christian romero and timo werner with the other goals for spurs. Its palace manager oliver glasners first defeat in charge of the side, they stay 14th. Chelsea scored late on to pick up a point against london rivals brentford, with a 2 2 draw in their First Premier League game since losing the carabao cup final. Axel disasis header from a cole palmer corner was enough to rescue a point for the visitors, who found themselves behind after a wonderful acrobatic effort from yoane wissa. Chelsea remain in the bottom half of the table with brentford moving back up into 15th. In the last few moments, aston villa have beaten luton to strengthen their hopes of a top four finish. Villa took the lead early on through this header from ollie watkins, before the england striker then added a second before the break. They looked to be cruising but luton fought back, Carlton Morris got the equaliser to set up a grand stand finish. But in the dying moments, lucas digne� s header sealed a huge win for unai emery� s side, who are now five points clear of spurs in fifth. Luton stay in the bottom three. Confirmation of those results, then. In the other games, a big win for Newcastle United against wolves, who put their recent wobble to one side. Goals from alexander isak, Anthony Gordon and tino livramento. And fulham are among the goals, too, with a comfortable 3 0 win over brighton. Theyre 12th, but nowjust a point behind chelsea. In the championship, a shock result as Leaders Leicester lost 2 1 at home to qpr, while ipswich have jumped into second place above leeds, who failed beat io man huddersfield in the lunchtime game. The terriers had taken the lead, Michal Helik Poking home from close range. However, a second yellow for captain Jonathan Hogg gave leeds the chance to capitalise. And they did, just past the hour mark, danieljames involved in the build up. It was Patrick Bamford who slid in to rescue a point in a West Yorkshire derby, huddersfield drop to 21st. Meanwhile, southampton left it late, scoring in injury time to beat birmingham 4 3 in an extraordinary game. Norwich closed the gap on the play off spaces, beating sunderland, as hull dropped points. Ipswich capitalised on leeds� draw to move within three points of Leaders Leicester. Stoke, meanwhile, beat middlesbrough 2 0 but stay in the relegation places as a result of qprs win at leicester. Wins also for millwall, Sheffield Wednesday and swansea. Manchester city have moved clear at the top of the Womens Super League. They maintained their push for the title with a 2 1 home win over everton. Their rivals chelsea and arsenal play tomorrow. Nick parrott reports. It was the victory that mattered most to Manchester City, but in the wsl title race, Goal Difference could ultimately be the difference. The last time these sides met, Manchester City won 4 1. When the toffees put themselves in a sticky situation, there was only going to be one outcome. There were heroics from courtney brosnan, pulling off several saves. She was perhaps fortunate to stay on the pitch after the referee missed her hitting the ball with her hand outside the area. On the one occasion city really slipped up, everton failed to punish them. Lauren hemp doubled the hosts� advantage after the second half and few would expect a comeback from everton. A spectacular goal arrived a few minutes later but they could not build on the wonder strike, instead relying on the brilliance of brosnan to keep the scoreline respectable. City are now three points clear at the top of the league until at least sunday afternoon, but if chelsea Beat Leicester by two clear goals, they will return to the top spot. Another twist in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon, as rangers were beaten at ibrox by motherwell, which brings to an end their ii game Winning Streak and opens the door for rivals celtic to leapfrog them at the top of the table tomorrow. Dan casey got the winner in motherwell� s 2 1 victory. Rangers remain two points clear for now. In other games, dundee drew 2 2 with kilmarnock, Hibs Beat Second from bottom ross county 2 0. St mirren are up to fourth after beating aberdeen 2 1. Footballs lawmakers have ruled out the implementation so called � blue cards� as part of a Sin Bin Trial for players in elite leagues. But the International FootballAssociation Board have agreed to measures which they hope will help improve player behaviour. Our reporter simon stone has more. Footballs rule makers, ifab, did agree some trials at their meeting in this Magnificent Hotel behind me. They agreed that in certain circumstances, only the captains could approach referees, they agreed on cooling off periods where if there has been a confrontation, both sides must go back to the edge of their own penalty areas, and they also agreed an eight second rule for goalkeepers to hold the ball. All these trials can come in at the third tier and below if leagues apply for them. What they did not agree was the implementation of blue cards for sin bins or to extend the trial for the sin bins themselves. Nevertheless, ifab insist the welfare of referees is one of their major priorities. The problem affects 90 plus of our game. We cannot get enough match officials in and cannot keep them and playing grassroots football, you see it all the time. The behaviour is not good, it is a cancer in our game as we said last year. We were really determined to come up with a range of solutions to improve the behaviour at grassroots level. Ifab also confirmed the trial over referees announcing Var Decisions in the stadium will continue into the olympics this year and they also confirmed that permanent Concussion Substitutes was now in law and could be implemented anywhere. Temporary Concussion Substitutes remain under review, but there is no plan to bring them in just yet. Lets have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. Rory mcilroy is competing in the third round at the cognizant classic in florida. Hes currently 7 through nine holes, which is four shots off the lead. Two time Tour De France champion Taday Pogarcher has won the prestigious Strade Bianchi one day race in italy for the second time in his career. The slovenian took the lead with 50 miles to go and rode alone for two hours before crossing the finish line in siena. Britains tom pidcock, who won last year, finished fourth. The womens race was decided in the last 500 metres, when World ChampionLotte Kopecky surged past italian champion elisa longo borghini. Belgiums kopecky went on to claim her second victory in the race having also won two years ago. Cheltenham gold cup winning trainer Mark Bradstock has died at the age of 66 after a long illness. Bradstock also won the 2011 Hennessy Gold Cup with carruthers and the 2018 Bet365 Gold Cup with step back. Josh kerr and laura muir are bidding to win gold in front of a home crowd at the World Athletics Indoor Championships tonight. They both go in the 3000 metre finals after 8pm and you can follow all the action on bbc two. Earlier, great britains jemma reekie made it through to sundays 800m final and the american Grant Holloway showed his dominance in the 60m hurdles. In the past few minutes, hes just ran fastest in the semi finals. Jeanette kwakye has more from glasgow. Day two of the World Athletics Indoor Championships, and they have been going over the hurdles. Holloway has not been beaten in the past ten years and it is his to lose. He has underlined his ranking as the favourite coming into this, looking extremely strong and good to see david king going through to the next round. The supremacy of Grant Holloway, you canjust admire. I asked him what is the motivation, because it is difficult to know you are so far ahead of the competition, but he still wants to win. Many will be looking at a world record maybe . Maybe, he has shown it, so hes having fun with it, it is his stage and he has the space to perform on it. We must speak aboutjemma reekie, supreme in her running. It was great, two great races, really and gave us a lot of information to mull over and build for a really exciting final. She will not have it all her way, and even the other racer who led the rest of the race, that is really hard to do. It does not always pay off, but she could still go through to the final. There are huge challenges as well, but she is showing she is running well, can respond and race in different ways and, most importantly, she believes in herself. The reigning olympic and world long jump champion, miltiadis tentoglou, has threatened to quit the discipline if the sport implements a rule change to eliminate foul jumps. Tentoglou earlier today added the world indoor title to his collection in glasgow. The amendment proposed by World Athletics involves introducing a take off zone to make it more appealing to fans. Something the champion is very against. The jump itself is very easy. The hard part is the run up. I guarantee not many people see it. They want to remove this and after this, lots of people will say it is the easiest event and lots of people will be able to do it. My second comment is that if that happens, i will not do long jump any more. Molly caudery is currently going for gold right now in the pole vault final. Shes in great form just last month she recorded a jump of 4. 85m at the uk indoor championships, and will be one of the favourites to win gold this evening. I love being a pole vaulter because i love the terrifying aspect of it. I love the adrenaline rush, the feeling like you are flying. I got into athletics when i was about ten years old, i went to my local track, i was a full time gymnast until then and then went into athletics and tried all different events and filtered into pole vault and that became my favourite. The setup at home in cornwall is quite basic, there is a track and theres no indoorfacility for three hours. It was cold, it was raining, you just get on with it. In both my Commonwealth Games experiences, they are my favourite memories. As an 18 year old it was so overwhelming but so much fun and that will definitely be my favourite memory ever. Three perfect jumps ijust remember the sound and pride that came with it. Last night, i had a dream i came third and i woke up and thought it was a dream, and now i am here and i came second there is no doubt every athlete will have an injury in their career and being that age i am, i have been unlucky so far. I was in the gym at home and i actually chopped my finger off, nearly 90 through. It took me three surgeries and set me back three months. I have down days but stay positive and have so much visualisation. When i wasntjumping, i was still staying in touch with it all. Last year, i was injured all the way through until may, so i did not have much of a winters season training, so to make the world team is amazing for me. I had no expectations going into it. To stay in the competition. You can see what that means to her and then came fifth, beyond what i would have expected. My life has changed a lot since then for the better and i dont really have the words to describe how i am feeling at the moment. I have not had any injuries this winter and that has allowed me to really gain some consistency in training and build week by week, block by block and thats allowed me to get where i am. Going into the british championships last week, i was technically the favourite and i felt a lot of pressure but that made me jump as high as i did and i thrive off that kind of pressure. I would just love to carry on my consistency. I havejumped 83, 84 and 86 this year and if i can carry this into worlds, that could be where the medals are at. We will see. There are just six months to go to until the paralympics, and one of great britains Medal Hopefuls is swimmer suzanna hext from cornwall. Suzanna was paralysed from the waist down in 2012, and watched the london games from her hospital bed. She was inspired, and that helped her ove
