performance at the result we wanted. now it's looking forward. liverpool go top for the time being, after coming from behind to beat crystal palace. and slade to the rescue for exeter, who score a famous late win to beat toulon on the opening weekend of european champions cup. also coming up on sportsday. a series victory for england's women in india, who seal a clinical win with another excellent bowling display. hello there and welcome along to sportsday this saturday, and after being named manager of the month for november, erik ten hag and his manchester united were brought crashing back down to earth at

old trafford this afternoon, delivered a shock by bournemouth, who came away with a stunning 3—0 win. dominic solanke got the visitors off to the best possible start, with the opener after less than five minutes. headers from philip billing and marcos senesi in the space of five second—half minutes completed the victory. bournemouth could have even had four, but the last was ruled out. a massive win for them, but united were booed off after this latest loss, ahead of what's a crucial week for them with their champions league campaign at stake. i understand. disappointed. frustration. we are as well, but we should do better. we have to show it. every game. from one game to the other game, a big difference in levels. �* ., ., , , ., u, levels. another massive game coming u - , levels. another massive game coming u, how levels. another massive game coming up. how difficult _ levels. another massive game coming up, how difficult will _ levels. another massive game coming up, how difficult will it _ levels. another massive game coming up, how difficult will it be _ levels. another massive game coming up, how difficult will it be to _ levels. another massive game coming up, how difficult will it be to lift - up, how difficult will it be to lift the players going into the bayern

completely understand their frustrations, there is nothing we can say because they have been behind us all the time. sometimes the prostration, it's normal that they boo, it's quite normal because they boo, it's quite normal because they didn't like what we did. —— the frustrations. we can't say anything bad about them, today wasn't the performance we wanted to give to them. we apologise for not giving them. we apologise for not giving the performance and the result we wanted. now it's about looking forward to get back on track. bournemouth are on the up — after a poor start to the season, andoni iraola's side have found theirform. this, their second win in a week, as they move up to 13th, and on the verge of breaking into the top half of the table. coming to old trafford and put in a performance like that... from minute one, we worked hard, motivated. even though it's the third game this

week, people were tired but i thought everybody put in a shift. you could see the energy to the very last minute, we kept pressing, they try to get a goal, so yeah, well done. earlier, liverpool moved to the top of the table, for the time being at least, after coming from behind to beat crystal palace at selhurst park. it looked as though it wasn't going to be their day, in the lunchtime kick—off. but a determined second—half display, including a landmark goal for mo salah saw them to victory. nesta mcgregor was watching. with the game kicking off at lunchtime, liverpool knew a win would see them top the table, if only for a few hours although crystal palace started writers, forcing allison to be at his best. it appeared the home side had an even better chance to take the lead soon after, a penalty, but var saw a foul earlier. the game was no blockbuster. after the break, palace

had another penalty appeal, this time it was given. mateta won and converted the spot kick. liverpool chasing the game received help from their hosts. they were reduced to ten men, jordan ayew given the early bath. from the resulting free kick, mo salah, a huge deflection and a huge milestone, the egyptian�*s 200th goal for liverpool, and huge milestone, the egyptian�*s 200th goalfor liverpool, and more delight for the visitors, harvey elliott with a finish worthy of being a game winner. liverpool lunchtime leaders, they wait to see if that is still they wait to see if that is still the case come dinnertime. so another late show from liverpool — 1a goals in the last 15 minutes of matches this season. the 18 points they have taken from losing positions is also unmatched. reds bossjurgen klopp paid tribute to salah after his 200th goal for the club. very special number for a very special player. yeah, really pleased

for him, now that's off the shoulder. these kind of things, we are human beings and when you are close to something, the mindset changes for a little bit at least. this goal was vital for us today, super important, and he always works about why he has these numbers. and match—winner harvey elliott said salah's influence at liverpool is far greater than just scoring goals and winning matches. he's always trying to help us out, no matter what, pushing us in the gym, out on the pitch. he's like a fatherly figure for us young ones. we can go to him with anything and he will always give us advice, give us his opinion and what he thinks we should do. that means absolutely everything. to have someone like him around, as well as the rest of the team, it's incredible.— around, as well as the rest of the team, it's incredible. glowing words from harvey — team, it's incredible. glowing words from harvey elliott. _ the loss then for palace means

they're in a precarious position, with roy hodgson�*s side with just one win in nine now. it's a run that leaves them seven points above the bottom three before the rest of the weekend's action. very, very disappointed. i think we were very harshly treated. i find it very hard to accept nine yellow cards for so—called fouls we committed. two for kicking the ball away... i don't see it. i thought for the rest of the time, 11 men, we did extremely well. unfortunately we were down to ten men, it got a bit harder, quite a lot of time added on, it cost us and liverpool could score two goals. to say i'm disappointed would be a bit of an understatement. after the game i told the referee what i felt. i'm not going to repeat it, he might say what i said to him, and i got a yellow card as well, but i've got to say i really do think today we were hard done by. arsenal can move back to the top, but a huge task ahead,

against the league's in—form club aston villa at villa park, where unai emery�*s team are searching for a record 15th consecutive home win. it is into the second half and the home side are leading since the seventh minute. john mcginn with the goal. his fourth of the season. a win for villa would leave them a point behind the gunners and would make the title race ever more interesting. 51 minutes gone, we will keep you updated. chris wilder's off the mark with sheffield united. he got his first win since taking the helm again this week with victory over brentford. manchester city loanee james mcatee scored the only goal of the game, with a superbly taken goal in first—half stoppage time. wilder's side hung on for the win, which lifts them level on points with burnley, but still bottom of the table, and just their second victory of the season. small steps. we've obviously got a week to work. not getting carried

away, but so many times, especially for this football club this season, where we have had poor days. this is one to be celebrated, like we will do. then we move on to chelsea. during the game i felt we lacked that bit— during the game i felt we lacked that bit of quality. on the ball, in the final— that bit of quality. on the ball, in the final actions, and we didn't produce — the final actions, and we didn't produce the same magic moment that maybe _ produce the same magic moment that maybe we _ produce the same magic moment that maybe we needed on a day like this. so that— maybe we needed on a day like this. so that meant we lost the game. can't _ so that meant we lost the game. can't complain about the effort from the players. ithink can't complain about the effort from the players. i think they did everything to stay in the game. at molineux, it finished 1—1 between wolves and nottingham forest. matheus cunha cancelled out harry toffolo's opener. a draw stops the rot for under—fire forest boss steve cooper. his side had endured four defeats in a row. they're five points above the bottom three. with all of these things that may be involved with the current situation,

for the players to play like that and to fight for each other and show the quality, the chances we created, away from home, it's something i know is there. as well as the togetherness and the belief in each other. let's move forward. supporters are incredible. once again, the world stage that the premier league is... there is so much togetherness, forget it being about me or anything, we are so together. disappointed that we weren't able to hreak— disappointed that we weren't able to break down a very defensive sort of low back— break down a very defensive sort of low back five. didn't really show enough — low back five. didn't really show enough quality to cause them loads of problems, even though we have so much _ of problems, even though we have so much of— of problems, even though we have so much of the _ of problems, even though we have so much of the ball. yeah, frustrated. but when _ much of the ball. yeah, frustrated. but when i — much of the ball. yeah, frustrated. but when i take a step back and i look but when i take a step back and i took at _ but when i take a step back and i

took at 19— but when i take a step back and i look at 19 points, and the week we have _ look at 19 points, and the week we have had, — look at 19 points, and the week we have had, going to the emirates, coming _ have had, going to the emirates, coming here on tuesday against burnley, — coming here on tuesday against burnley, and having to go again tonight, — burnley, and having to go again tonight, there were some tired bodies — tonight, there were some tired bodies. not loads of people we can change _ bodies. not loads of people we can change in _ bodies. not loads of people we can change in and out, the squad is fairly— change in and out, the squad is fairly thin — change in and out, the squad is fairly thin at the minute. vincent kompany�*s burnley remain in the relegation zone following a 1—1 draw away to brighton. the visitors put up a spirited show but had their defence breached by simon adingra just 1a minutes from full—time. burnley goalkeeperjames trafford's stunning save in the dying seconds of stoppage—time ensured their trip home would now be a happier one. it's the story of our team, we have so many players who have got so much to learn still at this level, but who are now playing at this level. week in, week out, you see the improvement, you see our performances, i think we've been in every game for some time now. whether it's arsenal away, brighton away, we give ourselves a chance. we

have to believe with the games left, we will turn the games into more results again. disappointed for the result. i think we played — disappointed for the result. i think we played a great second half. good first half _ we played a great second half. good first half. we could push more. we could _ first half. we could push more. we could push— first half. we could push more. we could push with more energy. we concede _ could push with more energy. we concede another stupid goal. but at the end. _ concede another stupid goal. but at the end, again we controlled the game _ the end, again we controlled the game for— the end, again we controlled the game for 90 minutes. we were unlucky — in the championship, leicester thrashed plymouth 4—0 to stay top of the championship. stephy mavididi with two goals for them. meanwhile, mangerless sunderland beat west brom 2—1 at the stadium of light. dan ballard and dan neil with the goals as the black cats picked up their first win in four games to move into the play—off positions. in other games, its six wins from seven for leeds united after their 2—0 win at blackburn earlier.

header soon after to seal the deal and lift city to second spot in the table, level on points with third—placed arsenal, who play leaders chelsea tomorrow. we'll have more on women's football later, including a performance like no other for a lioness legend. but now to the england women's cricket team, who've had another resounding win over india and, with it, clinching the t20 series with a game to spare. while it was the batters who excelled in the first game, it was the bowlers who put them in a winning position today. as craig templeton reports. saturday night under the mum by lights, and england were ready to put on a show. charlie dean provided the opening act. —— mum by. and then one of the world's best would follow. dean and england flying. sophie ecclestone was about to join her. a remarkable catch that only sped up india's four. when the world's best t20 bowler took a

wicket as usual, india were all out forjust wicket as usual, india were all out for just 80, wicket as usual, india were all out forjust 80, their third lowest total in this format. crisis talks at the interval, but the staff on the first match was shining again. sciver—brunt with a six. but this effort gave the home fans something to cheer. england laboured over the line, ecclestone's mis—hit won a match that was a comedy, drama and tragedy rolled into one. england won't care, the series is theirs. england's men are due to be playing their one—day international against the west indies. but rain has delayed the start at the kensington 0val in barbados. jos buttler�*s team looking to rebuild after such a poor defence of the one—day international world cup title they won in 2019. when it gets going, you can follow it on the bbc sport website and app.

to rugby union now, and a dramatic late win for exeter chiefs on the opening weekend of the champions cup as henry slade's injury—time conversion saw them edge past toulon 19—18. last season's semi—finalists took the lead in the first half after an interception from harvey skinner saw him run from well inside his own half to score. the hosts did respond however as tries from beka gigashvili and ben white saw them take control, but having failed to score a point in the second half, two exeter tries saw the momentum shift. it left slade with the chance to kick for victory, and it was an opportunity he took, sparking wild celebrations amongst his teammates. elsewhere, a dominant second—half display saw bath beat ulster 37—111. the home side scored four unanswered tries after the break, with matt gallagher putting the seal on a strong performance at the recreation ground. bath securing the

applause. a round of applause, that in some talent. you can watch that feature in full, on football focus on the iplayer. and just a reminder of our top story, manchester united lose again, 3—0 at home to bournemouth, liverpool are top of the premier league for now at least after beating crystal palace. arsenal will go back above them if they win at aston villa. they are into the second half there. it's not going well for arsenal, currently 1—0 to aston villa, around 20 minutes to go. you can catch up on the bbc sport website and app. currently aston villa 1—0 arsenal, aston villa closing in with a win

there. not going so well for arsenal in their attempt to return to the top. that is it, see you again next time. hello. quite a stormy evening for some of us, particularly around the irish sea. very windy inland, too. and this is the outlook for the next few days — further spells of wind and rain on the way, but at least it's going to stay relatively mild, as you'd expect in this sort of weather. here's the satellite picture, and a powerfuljet stream is propelling these areas of low pressure. one of them is moving over us right now, that is storm ellen, now, that is storm elin, named by the irish met service. here it is here. and then behind it, we have another developing storm, storm fergus, which is going to sweep across our island during the course of sunday. back to the here and now, so through this evening, the strongest gusts around the irish sea, but very windy

inland, too, across parts of wales, northern england, the midlands. you can see where the rain is, a little bit further north. actually further south, we've got some clear spells through this evening and overnight. and then later in the night, through the early hours, actually, the winds fall light across many parts of the country as that decaying storm pulls away. not cold, between 3—6 celsius. and here's the next low pressure heading our way. so early in the morning, rain spreading into northern ireland, the irish sea through wales, central southern england. and i think most of us will get at least some rain at some point during the course of sunday. the strongest of the winds will be across ireland linked to storm fergus here on sunday. and the temperatures around 12—13 celsius in the south, maybe 1a celsius in plymouth. colder with rain there in glasgow and edinburgh, around 7 celsius, similarfor newcastle. and then the outlook as we head through the first part of the week, so monday, we're actually in between weather systems. so as one area of low pressure pulls away, another one tries to come in. we're just in that slither of bright weather, dry weather on monday.

we're just in that sliver of bright weather, dry weather on monday. so perhaps a decent day, i think 12 celsus in london, seven celsius in glasgow. certainly a greater chance of catching some sunshine on monday. but then into tuesday, we're back underneath an area of low pressure. this high, though, is trying to build in. that might be a hint of things to come later in the week, things could start to settle down. but you can see later on wednesday, even that low pressure starts to pull away. so let's have a look at the outlook then, a summary for the week ahead. temperatures dropping a little bit through the middle part of the week, and from the weather icons, well, there's a bit of everything on the way this week. bye— bye.
