hello there, we'll start with the fa cup 3rd round. there were 8 more ties on sunday and the competition's most successful side, the 1a time winners arsenal are out. they had the best of the chances against the premier league leaders liverpool but lost 2—0. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss. 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. how on earth did arsenal not score? 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.
2:46 am
arsenal's domination matched only by their frustration. for their manager, it was getting hard to watch. and with ten minutes left, it was even harder. liverpool 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. the gunners paying the price for all of those chances that went by the way. so arsenal paid the price for missing a host of opportunities. liverpool hanging on and stealing it late on. they will be in monday's fourth round draw. we had one objective ofjust winning. getting into the half of the next round, we have done that. we dug deep. we had chances.
2:47 am
we changed things around at halftime, internally, and we came out and played football, increase our chances. the changes that we did make and change in system. it made an impact for us. 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. that is normal for them. 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. their performance was, as a matter of chances i and performance, we just have to i win the game, there was no question about it. - but actually we lost there and we did — but actually we lost there and we did not _ but actually we lost there and we did not capitalise - but actually we lost there and we did not capitalise it. - in football and a sport. you have to capitalise it to win games at the moment we're not doing it. _ what can i do? play worse than liverpool i
2:48 am
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%. third round weekend is usually all about the upsets and dented reputations, but no premier league side has been beaten by lower league opposition so far. holders manchester city crusied past championship strugglers side huddersfield 5—0 at the etihad. jo currie was watching this one. in a weekend where the magic of the cup had been lucky, will the championship strugglers pop the defending champions bubble? the first half of the first half was uneventful. before city struck. finds the back of the net! from a narrow angle, they took a narrow lead. city upped their pressure and got an instant reward. manchester city! a second goal!
2:49 am
two goals in five minutes, city purring as they headed into the break. when you are 2—0 down, who do not want to see off the bench? yep, this guy. welcoming back kevin for his first appearance since august. before they netted a goal number three. they deflected, but the 20—year—old will not mind that. trying to give the fans something to cheer about, but were denied. their afternoon was about to get much worse. into the bottom corner! a beautiful finish that was! marking the return with an assist and setting up the returning jeremy docker, who who had numberfive. city through to the next round without even breaking a sweat. the satisfaction as a manager to play these games. it was a final of an important
2:50 am
competition, how humble we are, how comfortable and the principals, what you have to do to be a solid team. i am really pleased to manage these players. in the other third round ties, premier league luton and nottingham forest were held by league, one sides bolton and blackpool. west ham will also have to replay against bristol city from the championship. there were wins for leeds, wrexham and west bromwich albion who knocked out non league aldershot. one more third round tie to come. league one wigan hosting manchester united on monday. chelsea and australia striker sam kerr is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury. it happened during her club's warm weather training camp in morocco, and 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 and potentially the olympics if australia qualify. she's been cheslea's top scorer for the past three seasons.
2:51 am
it is huge. she had a really tough season last year because of the fact of kirby was out for a lot of events, and sam kerr had to carry a lot. chelsea being there, she was their only main striker. i think that will be a huge blow for them because she can play the game for 90 minutes or 89 minutes and have a quiet one and then you are right and put her ball into the box. and you know the sam kerr, if it is on her head or she is in the position, she will put it away. fans, players and coaches have paid their last respects in brazil to mario zagallo, the first man to win the world cup both as a player and a manager. a public wake took place in rio de janeiro on sunday. zagallo was seen by many as the embodiment of the brazilian national team,

whose flair and skill gained a global following. there was a short parade through the streets of rio, before his burial service at the saojoao batista cemetery. zagallo won two world cups as a player in 1958 and �*62, and one as a manager with the great brazil team of 1970. he was also on the coaching staff when they won it in 1994. rafael nadal has pulled out of the australian open that starts next weekend. he's onlyjust returned to action from nearly a year out and he's picked up another hip injury nadalfelt discomfort in the same area during his quarter—final loss to jordan thompson at the brisbane international. a scan has revealed a very small muscle tear. the spaniard says it's not the same issue that required an operation injune but he's not ready to compete at the first grand slam of the year, and he's returning to spain for treatment and rest. everyone is holding their breath, and i am sure nadal was as well because he knows that he is only one relatively serious injury away
2:53 am
from his career ending. he is at peace with that and why he is not getting lightheaded about his success last week. he had three match points to take his place in the semifinals in brisbane and he is now not getting too down about the latest setback. what we do not know yet is whether he will be able to spend enough time on court to build up their match counts that he will require if he will be as competitive as he would like to be a bit later in the year, especially on the clay—court season. the masters snooker is under way in london and there was an upset in the opening match, with the world champion luca brecel going out in the first round. the belgian second seed was beaten by six frames to two by england's jack lisowski at alexandra palace. lisowski was 4—0 up before brecel pulled two frames back, but lisowski rallied to win and book his place in the quarterfinals. lisowski will now face the 2015 masters champion shaun murphy. murphy also won by 6 frames

hello there. well, the falling rain has now eased and there is still plenty of ground water out there, the rivers will take some time to subside and the number of flood warnings has been in steady decline but still plenty of them out there. all the details are on the bbc weather website. the weather has certainly changed. it is still looking mostly dry, a few showers. it will be feeling cold, frost, fog and ice all forming through the overnight period. that is thanks to this area of high—pressure building through the course of the weekend and set to stick around and it will block the atlantic systems moving in from the west. we should stay mostly dry. this is how we are starting off monday morning with a widespread frost, patches of fog and they will be slow
2:56 am
to lift and clear as we head through the morning. some icy stretches and showers streaming in from the north sea and a brisk north—easterly wind across the london area, and the south east of england, wintry over the high ground and could possibly see a light dusting of snow in some places. as the wind picks up, it becomes more easterly and will drive the showers further west into central southern england and perhaps even eastern wales but for many away from the fog there will be weak spells of winter sunshine and areas of clouds, thickest at the east, top temperatures between two and five celsius, so feeling cold but feeling even colder still in exposure to the brisk north—easterly winds and that will always feel strongest towards the south. it will feel subzero here for most of the day. heading through tuesday, there is little more of a breeze towards the south, the wind is picking up, there should be more sunshine and maybe some showers towards the southwest of england and through the channel islands, but otherwise it is looking dry. there will be some weak
2:57 am
winter sunshine on offer and temperatures once more between two and five celsius but plenty of added wind chill again. exposure to that easterly wind. more cloud on wednesday and moisture and slightly less cold—feeling air perhaps, most of the cloud will be towards the north of the uk and the best of the sunshine will be further south. and you will notice that temperatures start to improve a little as we head through thursday and friday. a lot more cloud around, more moisture in the air, still possibly some frost by night. bye— bye.
