a gabrieljesus header, and then, kai havertz got the second — that's his fourth goal in seven games. the win ensures arsenal bounce back from last weekend's loss to aston villa. brighton slip a place to ninth. an incredible performance. i think it was a joy to watch from the start to the end, the way we did it against this very, very good team. i think the players deserve a lot of credit. because we generated so much and even at half—time, the score line didn't reflect that. we kept going and we won the game. at anfield, bitter rivals liverpool and manchester united played out a goalless draw. in a cagey game, liverpool were unable to make the most of their chances against a stubborn united defence, who went down to ten in injury time when diogo dalot was sent off. —— to ten men. liverpool drop to second in the league, a point behind

arsenal — and afterwards, jurgen klopp criticised his players�* lack of ruthlessness. the main thing i don't like is obviously the result, we should have won this game but they didn't. that is a fact and you can create — i'm not sure if you can create more finishes in a game against manchester united, but if you have the number a few more should be on target and a few more chances should be there. we had enough to score and we had massive chances. but there should have been more. i had a game plan, the players were brilliant, how they worked together, stuck together, how they were in in the fight. maybe the only criticism would be in possession, we could have hurt them more. we got three passes in, but that is the only thing. when we scored in two big opportunities, we could win this game. ollie watkins scored a late winner, as aston villa came from 2—1 down to win
12:48 am
a bad—tempered game at brentford. there were two red cards, ten yellow cards — and both managers were booked. in celebrating his winning goal, watkins — who used to play for brentford — focussed in on a home fan who had been abusing him. afterwards, watkins said it was never intended to disrespect the rest of the supporters. he had been on to me all game, saying personal stuff. so i thought, "if it happens once, it's fine, but 2—4 times," but going on to me, i thought, "i'll get them back." so it was aimed at him, not anyone else in the stadium. i have a lot of respect for the club, the people here, the manager — and that's what i said to him as i was walking off. mohammed kudus scored twice to help west ham to a 3—0 victory over wolves at the london stadium. the ghanaian striker putting the hammers firmly in control at the break.

jarrod bowen made the points safe in the 74th minute with his tenth premier league goal of the season. the players are doing a brilliantjob, you know, we've got a cup final to look forward to, we've got europe, come march. at the moment we are in a good position in the premier league, so we want to keep it going. i still think we've got more to come, i really do, i think we can play better. manchester united lost ground in the wsl title race, as rivals liverpool came away with an impressive 2—1 victory. manchester united took the lead within three minutes, as ella toone pounced on leah galton�*s pass to score. an own goal by united defender millie turner got liverpool back on level terms, with taylor hinds scoring the winner. it's the first time matt beard's side have beaten united in the wsl, and fifth—placed liverpool move level on points with them. it feels amazing. i think this

to moved to america and planned on living out the rest of our lives there with our kids. but where phoenix was born in colorado springs was where the olympic and paralympic museum is. i went there and saw all these motivational and aspirational videos, and i was just not ready to hang up the trunks just yet. and just not ready to hang up the trunksjust yet. and i remember turning to robbie, i was crying, and i see rob robbie and he was like, "i want to see you dive in the olympics." and that was that, you can't say no to your kids and they say something like that. ifeel a lot less pressure on my shoulders to win an olympic gold medal, because that was what i had been striving for my whole diving career. i got there in tokyo, so for now for me to be able to go into this year — we still have qualifying in qatar, so we got to top seven there to qualify for a spotin seven there to qualify for a spot in team gb, then it's full steam ahead into paris. where i was losing _ steam ahead into paris. where i was losing you _ steam ahead into paris. where i was losing you in _ steam ahead into paris. where i was losing you in synchro, - was losing you in synchro, might we see you in individual

12:56 am
the mostly cloudy and mild conditions that we've had over the weekend will continue into the start of this upcoming week, and there will be some rain about, too — some of it quite heavy across the south on tuesday. by the middle part of the week onwards, it turns very windy with widespread gales developing — and by the end of the week, it'll be turning colder for most of us, particularly across the north of the uk, with an increasing chance of wintry showers. now we have a load of weather fronts poised to push in for monday — one across the northwest of the country with cooler air behind it, another one which is associated with this milder air — and it will be bringing some patchy rain initially to wales, then into the midlands, northern england at times through the day. there will be some rain, as well, for southern scotland, but brighter for the rest of scotland and northern ireland compared to what we've had over the weekend, before this weather front starts to push into the west with some scattered showers. again, ii—i3 celsius, so quite mild for the time of year — and there will be some glimmers of brightness to the east of high ground. as we head through monday night, though, rain peps up across england and wales, becomes quite heavy and persistent for a time.
12:57 am
scotland and northern ireland clear, spells a few showers. here, it'll be chillier, but less cold further south. does mean tuesday will start quite wet for england and wales, but the rain should clear away eastwards fairly quickly through the day. so, a wet start to much of england and wales tuesday — that rain becomes confined to the southeast, eventually clears away, i think, late in the afternoon. and then, it's brighter for all — the sunny skies across the northwest pushing down towards the southeast, but there will be some blustery showers across scotland and northern ireland. they will be turning increasingly wintry as the air does turn cooler for many. as we push into wednesday, we pick up brisk west—northwesterly winds, and this weather front will bring some wet weather to scotland, northern england at times. i think northern ireland, central, southern england and wales will see cloud coming and going. a little bit of brightness particularly to all these, but it will be quite a blustery day. and temperatures perhaps up a degree or so for england, wales, northern ireland. still on the cool side across northern scotland. but then, it changes again as we head into thursday and friday — turns very windy, widespread gales developing.
12:58 am
our air switches to a more northwesterly, and colder air will push its way southwards on thursday and certainly on friday, and into the following weekend. so things will be turning cool, or colder towards the end of the week, with increasing chance of wintry showers across northern areas even into the christmas period.
