Good evening, its been a night of missed opportunities at the top of the Premier League. It was 1 1 at anfield tonight as Leaders Chelsea were held by liverpool. Despite missing what would have been a winning penalty and drawing for only the second time this season they have still stretched their lead in the table to nine points, as arsenal and spurs both slipped up as well. Well head live to anfield in just a moment but first heres nick parrott with the story of the match. Jurgen klopp has been making heavy weather of things at liverpool of late. Defeat to chelsea would be the fourth in a row at anfield making it that worst home on the 93 years, but the men in red made the better start dominating early possession and almost going ahead. The premier League Leaders weathered the early storm when luis released a lightning storm. It appeared they didnt hear the referees whistle, not that they could have done much to stop that free kick. Liverpool werent about to roll over. This should have got them back on level terms. If that made anyone think it wasnt going to be their night, they made the most ofafar be their night, they made the most of a far harder opportunity. Back from the africa cup of nations, mane was sent on to supply a winner, but first costa with a penalty. They almost made up for that in the final minute but liverpool held on to stop the rot although it still looks like no one will be able to stop chelseas marched at the title. Lets get more on the match now from our reporter ade adedoyin. Ade, im guessing liverpool will be happier with that point . Yes because against the run of three defeats at anfield and more importantly they delivered the kind of performance jurgen klopp importantly they delivered the kind of Performancejurgen Klopp had been asking for with more passion and intensity. When you consider the months liverpool have hard, losing to the likes of swansea and southampton, to get one point off a chelsea side who have been in top form is a pretty decent result. Lets hear from both form is a pretty decent result. Lets hearfrom both managers now. We played good football, it was flue nt we played good football, it was fluent and aggressive, we were good organised, all of that stuff. You cannot create chance after chance against chelsea but you can keep them under pressure and thats what we did.

It is not easy to play against liverpool and in this atmosphere i am very proud for my players, for the way they played with this atmosphere, it is not easy. 50 that result keeps them ten points behind chelsea, and they will hope to build on this result when they travel to hull at the weekend. As for chelsea, A London Derby against arsenal on saturday. Thanks very much indeed. Arsenal could have cut chelseas lead but were stunned by watford at the emirates. They lost 2 1, their first League Defeat at home since the Opening Weekend of the season. Both watfords goals came inside the first 15 minutes from Younes Kaboul and troy deeney. Alex iwobi poulled one back after an hour and the gunners also hit the bar but couldnt stop watford, celebrating theirFirst League Win in eight an especially poignant victory with the funeral of their greatest manager, Graham Taylor taking place tomorrow. Mentally m e nta lly we mentally we are ready for the challenges and maybe subconsciously 0k challenges and maybe subconsciously ok lets play our game, and it was not enough. On top of that, we were punished, we were unlucky on the first goal. It was deflected, then a soft free kick, but after that you could see we responded, but it took usa could see we responded, but it took us a while to get into the game. The second half was all us and we were very unlucky not to come back or win the game. Tottenham are up to second, above arsenal on goal difference, but they also dropped points.

There are calls for lord coe to meet with mps again after new emails seem to confirm that he did know the details of Doping Allegations in athletics four months before they became public in a tv documentary. The president of World Athletics had told a Parliamentary Select Committee that he was unaware of the specifics of the russian doping scandal. There are questions the committee would like to put to him, but it is clear he was far more aware of serious allegations around Doping Corruption in athletics than he let on when he came to the committee in december 2015, and it asks the question of whether he should have done more to inform himself more folly of those allegations and act upon them. Just four days before the start of the six nations championship, jonny sexton has been ruled out of irelands opener against scotland. The fly half has failed to recover in time from a calf injury that he picked up earlier this month while playing for leinster. Peter omahony also misses out on the murrayfield match with a hamstring problem. Theres a double blow for wales in the pack lock Luke Charteris will miss the match against italy in rome on sunday.
