as they beat liverpool 3—1 at emirates stadium. bukayo saka opened the scoring for arsenal after 1a minutes, and they did look comfortable until gabriel scored an own—goal in added time at the end of the first half. arsenal re—took the lead, thanks to a defensive mix—up between virgil van dijk and alisson which allowed gabriel martinelli to score. liverpool had ibrahima konate sent off in the closing minutes and then leandro trossard completed the victory. the win moves arsenal up to second place in the table. manchester city, though, could overtake them when they visit brentford on monday evening. i've been very happy, but it was a huge game, it was a game that was going to dictate a little bit where we are, and where are going to be. it is an opponent that demands the best out of you, and the best out of every individual and demanding the best atmosphere

to have the best chance to win. and we have replicated that with the players and what they produced out there was just phenomenal. so when they play with that intensity, i have to put everything that i have and i have to put my energy into it as well. we had our moments, we controlled it, and then we concede that goal. and that's obviously — you can concede a goal but this is obviously strange and everyone realises that doesn't help. and itjust shows the boys are human beings. that makes the things they usually do even more special, but today we were really human, and had a couple of problems. manchester united beat west ham 3—0. alejandro garnacho scored twice, and it is now five goals in six games for rasmus hojlund. he got the opener on his 21st birthday. united's victory takes them above west ham into sixth place in the table. our front line, when we serve them, they can score goals.

you see they have speed, they have tempo, they have intuition, they have creation, and they can be direct and score goals. they do it together and it is really difficult to defend this. chelsea have conceded four goals in two games in a row, now, and pressure on their manager, mauricio pochettino is growing, after a matheus cunha hattrick gave wolves a 4—2 win at stamford bridge. wolves go above chelsea into tenth place. chelsea drop into the bottom half of the table. the patience is not infinite, and, of course, we need to show more. and, of course, the circumstances are difficult, but at the moment — you know, we were good until i think liverpool and after liverpool it is like, you know, everything is going wrong but i think yes, like, we did a very good run.

i think we need to move on and try to build from wednesday. nottingham forest drew 1—1 at bournemouth — justin kluivert put the home side ahead afterjust five minutes. callum hudson—odoi equalised for forestjust before half time. bournemouth then had philip billing sent off late in the game. forest are up to 16th place in the table, two points above the relegation zone. bournemouth are 12th. to spain now where real madrid drew 1—1 against their city rivals atletico on sunday. marcos llorente scored in stoppage time to cancel out brahim diaz's first—half opener for league leaders real madrid at the santiago bernabeu. real are on 58 points — two ahead of girona, with the two sides facing each other on saturday. celta vigo beat osasuna while the match between real betis and getafe ended in a 1—1 draw. inter milan won the highly—anticipated serie a title clash againstjuventus to move four points clear at the top of the table. the game was decided by an own

england's bowlers stuck to their task and tom hartley ended up taking 4 wickets with india finally all out for 255. in reply england have made a positive start but lost ben duckettjust before the close, finishing on 67 fori. it felt like they weren't sure what a good score would be against us. the wicket�*s still pretty good. the other one's keeping low, but you expect that. also what we've seen today is shubman gill played brilliantly, but there are still scores to be made out there, so there is still quality in our dressing room. there are still guys in there who think they can get 154 tomorrow and get us

the game, so we're really happy. the morning session that we play tomorrow is going to be very important for us because we see there is a bit of moisture starting the day of play. and i think coming tomorrow in the morning, that is going to be the key for us. alexander bublik has won the montpellier open for the second time. the kazakh player lost the opening set to borna coric but recovered to win the next two set, winning 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. it's bublik�*s fourth title on the atp tour and will see his ranking rise to a career—high of 23 on monday. dutch rider mathieu van der poel continues to prove that he can do more or less anything on a bicycle — last year he won the world road race title in glasgow and he's just won a sixth cyclocross world championship — successfully defending the title he won last year. the 29—year—old powerhouse pulled clear of the field early in the race and even had time for a little showboating — as he finished 37 seconds clear of his nearest rival.

and we end on some sad news from the world of rugby union. barryjohn, the legendary former wales, and british and irish lions fly—half, has died, at the age of 79. after making his debut in 1966, john played in 25 internationals for wales and five tests for the lions. the bbc�*s sports correspondent joe wilson looks back on his life. running on the inside. three yards to go — can he get there? what a try! before rugby union was all muscularity, there was poetry and the pace and the rhythm was in the feet of barryjohn. as a fly—half number 10, he dictated the play. he made a split—second decisions without even thinking. it is the quality shared by only a few that may truly be described as sporting genius.

barryjohn was born in 1945 in a west wales village known for two things — coal and rugby. he first rose to prominence at llanelli before moving to cardiff. by 1971 he helped to command wales, perhaps their greatest team, grand slam champions in the five nations. when wales needed points he could always stop, kick and turn away, knowing where the ball had flown. drop goals were his speciality. having conquered europe, barryjohn toured new zealand with the lions. in the country where rugby is the currency, they called barryjohn the king. the lions won the series. in the decisive third test, they scored 13 points to win — ten of them to barryjohn. he had the world at his feet. in 1972, aged just 27, he had enough. he'd become a celebrity and struggled with the concept and the attention.

after his playing career he was paid to speak and write about rugby. barryjohn�*s brilliance was spread over a mere 25 matches for wales and five for the lions. he was the rugby player who left the sport wanting more. you can find out more about barryjohn�*s life on the bbc website. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. we will be back very soon. we'll see you then. bye— bye. hello. there is a change on the way this week. we will see colder weather pushing down from the north, but that change to colder conditions will not be quick and it won't be straightforward either. as that cold air pushes erratically southwards, we will see some rain. some of us may well

see some snow. at the moment, most places are in this mild air, cold air across the north of scotland and along the boundary between these two air masses where we have a weather fronts. and this will continue to bring some heavy and persistent rain across the north and the west of scotland. met office still has this yellow warning in force. by the time all is said and done, we may well have seen up to 170 millimetres of rain falling in the wettest locations, some snow mixing in on the northern edge of our weather front as it engages some colder air. to the south of our weather front well, extensive cloud cover, some mist and murk, some spots of rain and drizzle, particularly for western coast and hills. again, it will be breezy, but mild, 12, 13 degrees, cold in northern scotland, just three there in lerwick. now, as we move through monday night, eventually that front will get a kick southwards. so that rain pushing southwards across scotland into northern ireland and northern england. some wintry showers following into northern scotland. temperatures here will drop close to freezing.

further south, exceptionally mild to start tuesday morning to the south of wriggling a weather front. that fronts will be slicing the country in two, really, on tuesday. some rain across parts of northern ireland, the far south of scotland, into northern england, north wales. we may see something wintry mixing in over higher ground as that colder air digs in from the north. certainly some snow in the showers, even to quite low levels across parts of scotland. still, for the time being, very mild in the south, highs of 1a degrees. but that weather front looks like it will clear southwards into wednesday, maybe lingering across the channel islands, but elsewhere some spells of sunshine, some wintry showers across the northern half of the uk and temperatures lower for just about all of us. and then as we get into thursday — a lot of uncertainty about this aspect of the forecast — low pressure expected to spin in from the southwest as this front pushes northwards into the cold air it may be that some of us see some quite significant snow. a lot of uncertainty about exactly where

that might happen. it's likely to stay mild in the south, colder in the north.
