hello and welcome to sportsday with me, hugh ferris. the headlines this evening. leading them in the league, dumping them out of the fa cup. liverpool condemn arsenal to another damaging defeat. the holders are through, while we'll also show you the best of the rest of the day's third—round goals, including that from patrick ba mford. the acl curse strikes down the women's game's best striker. sam kerr could miss the rest of chelsea's season. and no rafa for the australian open — nadal needs treatment on a hip injury sustained in his first tournament after nearly a year out. hello again.
7:32 pm
well come along to the programme. when arsenal met liverpool just before christmas, they were top of the premier league. but they've not won a game since, dropping down the table. and after playing the same opponents again today, they're out of the fa cup. liverpool won 2—0 at the emirates in the third round, as andy swiss reports. unfamiliar shirts for a very familiar rivalry. liverpool in purple, arsenal in white, and the gunners were so nearly in front. reiss nelson with the first of a string of early chances for the hosts, but crucially they couldn't take them. martin odegaard came closest, but still not close enough. and liverpool nearly made them pay, as trent alexander—arnold rattled the bar. plenty of drama, but no goals at the break. after it, more of the same. arsenal's domination matched only by their frustration. for their manager, it was getting hard to watch. and with ten minutes
7:33 pm
left, it was even harder.— left, it was even harder. liverpool find a way! _ find a way! had liverpool pinched it after that own goal? deep into stoppage time, they definitely had. luis diaz sealing victory in style. liverpool through, while arsenal will be wondering quite how this one got away. andy swiss, bbc news. so arsenal paid the price for missing a host of opportunities, and liverpool's trent alexander—arnold called their win huge. his boss agreed. iam i am really happy and really proud that we could win this game, which obviously of course arsenal could have won it as well, not a shred of doubt. but we kept the game open that long, and then in decisive moments, finished it off, so that speaks to the character of the boys. they really wanted it and so we got it.
7:34 pm
sane what can i tell them? play worse than liverpool and you will get the game? no, we have to push forward, and when my team play like that, what can i do? i'm still behind them 100%. with one tie remaining, still no premier league side has been beaten by lower—league opposition on fa cup third round weekend. those to record the most comfortable win in that scenario, holders manchester city. they beat championship side huddersfield 5—0 at the etihad, with kevin de bruyne back in the picture. jo currie was watching. ina in a weekend where the magic of the cup had been lacking, could championship strugglers huddersfield p0p championship strugglers huddersfield pop the bubble and cause an almighty upset? the first half of the first half was uneventful, before city struck. �* ., , ., struck. and foden with the shot! finds the back _ struck. and foden with the shot! finds the back of _ struck. and foden with the shot! finds the back of the _ struck. and foden with the shot! finds the back of the net. - struck. and foden with the shot! finds the back of the net. from | struck. and foden with the shot! i finds the back of the net. from the narrowest of _ finds the back of the net. from the narrowest of angles, _ finds the back of the net. from the narrowest of angles, they - finds the back of the net. from the narrowest of angles, they took - finds the back of the net. from the narrowest of angles, they took a i narrowest of angles, they took a narrowest of angles, they took a narrow lead. city then upped the pressure, and got an instant reward.
7:35 pm
alvarez for manchester city, a second goal! two goals in five minutes, city were appearing as they headed into the break. when you are 2—0 down, who don't want to see come off the bench? yes, this guy. city welcoming back kevin de bruyne for his first appearance since august. that before they netted goal number three. it is in off the they netted goal number three. it 3 in off the underside of they netted goal number three. it 1 in off the underside of the bar! it may have been deflected, but the 20—year—old won't mind that. huddersfield tried to give their travelling fans something to cheer about, but were denied, and thereafter it was about to get much worse, as phil foden made it four. into the bottom corner. what a beautiful finish that was from phil foden. , �* , . ~ foden. kevin de bruyne then marked his return with _ foden. kevin de bruyne then marked his return with an _ foden. kevin de bruyne then marked his return with an assist, _ foden. kevin de bruyne then marked his return with an assist, setting - his return with an assist, setting up his return with an assist, setting up the also returning jeremy doku who hammered home numberfive. city through to the next round, not even breaking a sweat. jo currie, bbc news. the other premier league sides hoping to avoid a shock today all managed that at least.
7:36 pm
but instead they've each landed a replay, which might not be celebrated by west ham, luton and nottingham forest, all with at least one eye trained elsewhere. while it was a champoinship player that provided the goal of the day, as patrick gearey reports. ask a askafan ask a fan in the fa cup may be a priority. ask a manager and it can be more complicated. in nuno espirito santo's head, a delicate calculation involving league games. he sent his team out with for changes and they were soon trailing. the first goal not celebrated by jordan guehi were informally a forest. the second slotted in two minutes later by lb morgan. this wasn't in the plan. but finally there was a response. nicholas domingo is not side back into it before the break, and then morgan gibbs—white smashed forest out of the woods. what a stunning goal, morgan
7:37 pm
gibbs—white. now they went in search of the winner, but it remained just out of their reach. they will go back to black full for the replay and have work to do at the seaside. some want to get rid of replays altogether, they are an issue in the cup, but not it seemed at the london stadium, where it took less than four minutes forjarrod bowen to squeeze west ham ahead. second—tier bristol city stayed in this, waiting for their chance. just over an hour in, it arrived in the path of tommy conway. the bristolians went wild and now the hammers must go west. luton also have unwanted road trip in their diaries, alfie dougherty closest to scoring against bolton, but they will have to follow the wanderers north. all far more clear cut for leeds at peterborough. and perdu scored two, goals that book end a masterpiece. what a goal! patrick bamford. here is a replay everyone will want to see. patrick gearey, bbc news.
7:38 pm
you have seen most of the goals. all the details from today's eight games are on the bbc sport website. here are the results. aldershot town were the one non—league team playing today, but were dispatched by west brom, while wrexham have reached the fourth round for a second year in a row, winning at shrewsbury from the division above. chelsea and australia striker sam kerr has become the latest female fooballer to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament injury. it happened during her club's warm weather training camp in morocco. chelsea say kerr will be assessed by a specialist in the coming days and then begin her rehabilitation. it's likely she'll miss the rest of the domestic season potentially the olympics if australia qualify. it's huge. i think she had a really tough season last year because physically because of the fact that fran kirby was out for a lot of it, and sam kerr had to carry a lot with
7:39 pm
chelsea being there really. she was really their only main striker. so i think that will be a good go for them, because i think she had been playing the game for 90 minutes, and then puts the ball into the box, or reaches out, and you know that sam kerr is a banker. if it is on her head or is she in that position, she is going to put it away. australia head coach tony gustavsson, who didn't have kerr for part of their world cup campaign because of a calf injury, said today... "considering how hard sam has worked over the past six months to return to play, this news is a devastating blow for everyone. "with her ability to lead by example, sam's guidance and influence on the team is significant, and as a result this will be an incredible loss for the national team. "our focus now is on ensuring she has all the support she wants and needs to navigate recovery and rehab." rafael nadal has pulled out of the australian open, which starts in a week's time. he's onlyjust come back from nearly
7:40 pm
a year out of tennis because of hip surgery. but in his defeat at the brisbane international, he picked up a new injury. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is in australia, and explained nadal�*s latest setback. i think that is why the posts from rafael nadal on social media is relatively upbeat. very sorry to be flying home and not being able to compete in the australian open given that this could well be his final year on tour, but he describes it as a small tear in a muscle in his hip, so that is the area that was affected last year and require the operation injune, but it is not exactly the same area, so it is not the same concern, and it is fairly minor, it isjust the same concern, and it is fairly minor, it is just too serious to be able to allow him to practice properly in melbourne this week and then to compete over five sets against the very best players in the world, so i don't think there was any choice for nadal, he couldn't play the australian open and is having to fly home but he will be hoping he is back on the practice courts before too long, trying to
7:41 pm

7:42 pm
to tell, but i think he feels that this is a huge blow not to be able to play the australian open, possibly for one final time. but actually, he has a glass half—full quy actually, he has a glass half—full guy right now. he is sounding remarkably optimistic, because he thinks he has got away with a more serious injury, and he knows he got three matches in australia, which is an unseeded player who could draw novak djokovic in the first round of the australian open or the top seed holder rune in brisbane, he has had a good start to the air. it is holder rune in brisbane, he has had a good start to the air.— a good start to the air. it is the first open _ a good start to the air. it is the first open in — a good start to the air. it is the first open in more _ a good start to the air. it is the first open in more than - a good start to the air. it is the first open in more than two - a good start to the air. it is the - first open in more than two decades when there is no rafael nadal or roger federer evolved. how much of a draw would he have been given his ranking dictates that he might have had a tough test immediately? he: would have been a huge draw, and unfortunately a lot of the publicity and the marketing and i imagine the billboards will involve rafael nadal, it is really too late to take those down. and he will be a big
7:43 pm
loss, because it wouldn't have mattered who he played, he would have been in the rod laver arena, playing under the lights, and melbourne would have celebrated his presence, so if you are correct highly, tournament director, you just forget about it, i suppose, and concentrate on the other players that are there, and fortunately we have other players making their comeback, most notably from an international point of view, but also emma raducanu. jannik sinner has a fantastic start, end to last year, and the top four women in the world have started the season brilliantly with coco gauff winning in auckland, and eager see and finally there are british players hoping to draw over all those you mention. qualifying begins pretty soon our time and i guess yours. what chances to those eight have of making the main draw? there
7:44 pm
should have — have of making the main draw? there should have been _ have of making the main draw? there should have been nine, _ have of making the main draw? there should have been nine, and _ have of making the main draw? ti” should have been nine, and the ninth perhaps had the best chance of all, at least on the men's side, because that was liam broady had some success in hong kong last week, qualified, won around, but had an ankle problem and he has also had an mri and that has shown that he has got a problem, and if he plays on, it may well turn out to be a stress fracture, which means he would be out of the sport for perhaps three months, so he has had to withdraw from qualifying much to his frustration in the week where he is about to return to the top 100. but eight other players as you say on the men's side, the new british player oliver crawford will be among them, he is now playing at the british flag, having spent all his life in the united states, and on the women's side there is harriet dart who had a good week last week, reach the final of the wta event in canberra which is just a little below the full wta tour. heather watson and also lily me is lucky who
7:45 pm
you might remember qualified successfully for the us open last year. that tournament in brisbane that featured rafa nadal's comeback was won by grigor dimitrov. it's the bulgarian's first atp title in more than six years. dimitrov beat holger rune, a player in the world's top five and 12 years hisjunior, to win the final in straight sets. it was tighter than the scoreline suggests. the first set went to a tie—break, and there was just one break of serve in the second. an emotional dimitrov said as he lifted the trophy, "it's been a while since i held one of these." i think my love affair started 11 years ago out here in brisbane, and it continues. so i'm very thankful that i'm able to stay in front of you guys, and lift that trophy again. it means a lot to me for so many different reasons. i want to say thank you of course to my team, my parents are not here, they had to rush to the airport. so it is a shame that they are not here but i will send them a picture.
7:46 pm
meanwhile elena rybakina reversed the result of last year's australian open final, beating aryna sabalenka convincingly to take the title in the women's event in brisbane. the former wimbledon champion ending sabalenka's15—match winning streak on australian soil, and promising afterwards to match her on—court improvements with her performance in front of the cameras. honestly, guys, i don't enjoy this part of ourjob so much. first of all i maybe didn't get as much attention as other players, and still if i have to do some kind of stuff outside of the court, it is still something i am trying to improve as much improvement on the court, the same with this kind of stuff. coco gauff has continued her impressive form in the build—up to the australian open. she successfully defended her auckland classic title by battling back from a set down to defeat elina svitolina. the us open champion recorded her seventh win out of eight career wta singles
7:47 pm
finals so far. still only 19, gauff has now won 29 of her last 33 singles matches. although she was quick to pay tribute to her opponent, who had herfirst child 1a months ago. this is my first time ever having to defend the title, so i'm really happy that i was able to do it today. i'd like to congratulate my opponent and her team for an incredible week. what you do, being a mum and coming back so far to such a mum and coming back so far to such a high level is pretty inspiring, and hopefully i will be able to do it, but not anytime soon! so congratulations to you and team. you're watching sportsday. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. ethiopia's tigist ketema has broken the world record for the fastest marathon debut by a woman. she won over the distance in dubai in two hours, 16 minutes and seven seconds. that's the eighth fastest time by a woman, and smashed the dubai
7:48 pm
course record by more than a minute. ellyse perry celebrated her 300th appearance for australia by hitting the winning runs to level their three match t20 series with india at one all. she's only the fourth woman to reach that milestone in international cricket. the deciding match is on tuesday. and watch the jockey in the light pink helmet and navy colours. it'sjoe anderson, and hejust manages to avoid being thrown off his horse during a race at plumpton today. he was able to stay in control, get back on board properly, and remarkably his mount transmission went on to win the sussex stayers handicap hurdle. bath held off a sprited effort from gloucester to win the premiership's south west derby by 17 points to 10. the playoff chasers recovered from a sluggish opening to score three tries and condemn their rivals to a record ninth successive defeat in rugby union's top division. bath are up to third.
7:49 pm
adam cottier watched the action. and bright midwinter day beside the river avon brought big names to the wreck. head coach gregor townsend and steve borthwick both watching with the six nations less than a month away. witnesses to a poor start from bath as a botched line—out throw from tom dunn saw gloucester power over. a week on from losing at leicester with an understrength side, bath sprung to life, as tom de glanville's brilliant saw him score a try that underlined why his side are in contention for the title. the home side still trailed at the break, but a try after the ball had passed through the legs of the gloucester player saw bath move ahead for the first time as they impose themselves in the second half. and with gloucester�*s carreras sin binned, bath scored their third try. after

there will be quite a keen wind in the south accentuating the chill, but for most, little rain in the forecast. it looks much drier, therefore, but it is already colder and it will remain so. and we've had some stubborn fog this weekend. in fact, during sunday across parts of northern ireland, scotland, northern england and wales, and indeed that will thicken up as we go through the coming night, there could be the odd pocket further south as well. what we will find is more showers coming into east anglia and the south—east. widely frosty i think even where we see the towns and cities just above freezing, the ground will still turn potentially frosty and icy because we have had a lot of rain. but overnight we are going to see those showers, and into monday, popping up across the east anglia region and the south—east of england, and they will be snow even at lower levels, it is cold air. with a few centimetres potentially over the downs, that will make things very slippery potentially because they could wash off the salt. ice is certainly an issue in the south and east but also elsewhere because it has been so damp. the fog again for central and southern scotland,

northern ireland, northern parts of england and wales, it might well linger. but we will see some brightness and some sunshine as well. the wind is a little stronger again across southern parts compared to today, pushing wintry showers across other southern counties through the day. and making it feel colder still. we will see a smattering of snow in those showers further south, particularly over the hills and the channel islands. into tuesday, the high pressure system stays towards the north, those keen east winds or north—east winds continue in the south. but that might benefit, pushing the showers out of the way and breaking the cloud up a bit more for more sunshine. but still again plenty of it for north—west scotland, northern ireland, western england and wales, more in the south. might pick up a bit more cloud across north—eastern coasts but as you can see temperatures below par. and as we go through the rest of the week, it stays largely dry but it is still pretty chilly.
