i can't say i'm not happy with the performance of the team. everyone was on it. the team was very aggressive, we were very sharp. was very aggressive, we were very sharp-— very sharp. will continue -la in: very sharp. will continue playing at _ very sharp. will continue playing at a _ very sharp. will continue playing at a good - very sharp. will continue playing at a good level, | very sharp. will continue i playing at a good level, so unfortunately against liverpool cannot — unfortunately against liverpool cannot be in the mind of the players _ cannot be in the mind of the players to be negative, but in the moment, but is a moment to have _ the moment, but is a moment to have to _ the moment, but is a moment to have to see — the moment, but is a moment to have to see the team, how we react — have to see the team, how we react and _ have to see the team, how we react and how we make a step forward — react and how we make a step forward and the performance was at a high — forward and the performance was at a high level against a top team — at a high level against a top team. the second half they made a step— team. the second half they made a step forward, they play more a step forward, they play more a little — a step forward, they play more a little bit, but you can see just— a little bit, but you can see just three or four chances where _ just three or four chances where tottenham mainly is, of course — where tottenham mainly is, of course they have important absences and of course with that — absences and of course with that they get the result. his team are — that they get the result. his team are third _ that they get the result. f! 3 team are third behind liverpool, also involved in a high—scoring thriller. they got back to beat fulham with two goals in the last few minutes.

trent alexander—arnold's free kick went in off the goalkeeper to open the scoring but fulham equalised quickly. then a spectacular goal from alexis mac allister put liverpool back in front. fulham levelled ahead than they went ahead through bobby conover read, and they were winning 3—2 until the 87th minute when liverpool's substitute scored his first premier league goal, and seconds later alexander—arnold won them the match. irate seconds later alexander-arnold won them the match. we played an incredible _ won them the match. we played an incredible game _ won them the match. we played an incredible game until- won them the match. we played an incredible game until we - an incredible game until we didn't any more! so all credit to fulham. they did really well. counterattack, all the stuff they did was really good, but we had too much a hand in that to give that away. so today we scored four worldys, and lucky again to win the game. so that tells you pretty much everything. 50 game. so that tells you pretty much everything.— game. so that tells you pretty much everything. so went for a sirited much everything. so went for a spirited fulham _ much everything. so went for a spirited fulham but _ much everything. so went for a spirited fulham but their- spirited fulham but their manager marco silva was full of praise for how his team took liverpool on and responded to

overall happy because we knew that after newcastle we needed to show a different face, and thatis to show a different face, and that is why i am happy from the team. ., ., team. the other two premier leauue team. the other two premier league games _ team. the other two premier league games were - team. the other two premier league games were draws. . team. the other two premier - league games were draws. aston villa had a last—minute goal to draw 2—2 at bournemouth, and it was 1—1 at the london stadium between west ham and crystal palace. plenty of action across europe today as well, where psg extended their lead at the top of french ligue one. in a new look england cricket side could not quite come up with the morale boosting win they had hoped for in their opening one—day match against the west indies. instead, they lost in antigua. there were signs of

improvement though, and england started well with the bat, reaching 325 all out. harry brook top scoring on 71, and elect like that might be enough but a sublime century from captain, shai hope, helped the windies chase it down, with three sixes in the penultimate over to win by four wickets. finally, it was third time lucky for scottie scheffler at the hero world golf challenge after being run out for the last two years. the american has finally won the title. the world number one lead going into the last round, and finished on a huge 20—under par, three shots ahead of austria's sepp straka. tiger woods playing in his first tournament for eight months came 18th in a field of 12 golfers. there is scottie scheffler. tiger woods is heavily involved in this tournament, so great to have him back on the course. and he didn't come last. that is pretty much it for me butjust time to recap on our top story.

ronnie 0'sullivan beating ding junhui to win a record extending eighth uk championship. he now holds records as both the oldest and the youngest uk champion, having won it first three decades ago as a 17—year—old. that is the sport for now. much more on the website. hello, there. plenty of wintry scenes recorded by our weather watchers across the uk throughout the weekend, such as here in derbyshire, with the lying snow, but further south across much of england and south wales, it turned milder on sunday, with outbreaks of rain moving northwards. and for all of us, the current cold

spell will be coming to an end as we head through this week. it will be turning milder, but the payback is it's also going to be wetter and windier for much of the time. now, we've seen this deep area of low pressure just roll its way northwards and eastwards, strong, gusty winds towards channel coasts through the night. still some heavy downpours of rain around, snow over any elevation. this is how we're starting of monday morning. cold and frosty still towards the north, but milder further south, five to seven degrees celsius here. but let's just zoom in on the north of england and north wales, where we could see some icy conditions, tricky travelling conditions, i think, particularly over the higher passes of the pennines and across north wales, with some of this rain turning to snow with any elevation. but most of this will be falling as rain, maybe wet snow to lower levels, though, at times with any intensity. and there's a brisk northerly wind blowing. we'll see some strong gusty winds, particularly across western wales and to the southwest of england. it's going to feel cold in exposure to that wind, despite the fact that, in theory, temperatures will be higher than yesterday. largely dry for northern ireland and much of scotland away from the east, with perhaps a few isolated showers around. so still feeling pretty raw with the briskness

of that wind on monday. the same still true on tuesday, but our deep area of low pressure is gradually pushing its way further eastwards. it's very slow—moving. there'll still be some patchy outbreaks of rain, i think, across much of northern england. again, with any elevation, this could be falling as snow. still some rain too, just feeding down from western wales towards the southwest of england. but elsewhere, i think it will tend to turn a bit drier, particularly away from east anglia, as we head through the afternoon. largely dry for scotland, but still temperatures struggling to get above freezing over any lying snow. but a drier, brighter day, particularly out towards the west. and it's going to be a very cold night on tuesday. again, a widespread frost with some patches of freezing fog developing. then we've got another low just working its way in from the south—west, and this is going to drag with it some much milder—feeling air. so just look at those temperatures go up. by the time we get to thursday, we're back up into double figures across the board. but it will be wet and windy at times, with perhaps some transient snow in the north. bye— bye.
