to second in the premier league after a convincing 3—1 win at brentford which sees them move menacingly into second place two points behind leaders liverpool with a game in hand. while all the pre—match talk centred around erling haaland and his return to the starting line—up after almost two months out with a foot injury, it's phil foden who will take all the plaudits. his hat—trick the catalyst as the champions recorded their seventh successive win. always had the sense of well, the short ag has on more than 252 games already and this is the impact and is unbelievable so it is an incredibly important player playing in that position. isl important player playing in that position.— important player playing in that osition. , ., ., , that position. 14 goals already this season — that position. 14 goals already this season so _ that position. 14 goals already this season so well _ that position. 14 goals already this season so well on - that position. 14 goals already this season so well on course | this season so well on course to be — this season so well on course to be that _ this season so well on course to be that-— to be that. yes. his numbers are really _ to be that. yes. his numbers are really good. _ manchester united's lisandro martinez is out for at least 8 weeks with knee ligament damage. the defender limped off in the second half during his side's 3—0 win over west ham on sunday.

erik ten hag described the injury as a "personal disaster" for martinez. aberdeen have confirmed that neil warnock will take charge of the club until the end of the season, replacing barry robson, who was sacked last week. warnock is 75 now, and he'll be in the dug—out at ibrox for tuesday's match against rangers, with aberdeen eighth in the scottish premiership. he's been in management for over 40 years, covering almost 2,000 matches — more than any manager in the history of english professional football. you know, i get called a dinosaur and all sorts of names or some i cannot repeat. but in my career as a football manager, from start to finish, nothing has changed in the fact that to be successful in management 90— 95% is man management. it might sound silly but at my age, i'm quite excited. one of the stars of the africa cup of nations, nigeria striker victor 0simhen, is in danger of missing
1:48 am
their semifinal against south africa on wednesday. he didn't travel to bouake with the rest of the squad due to "abdominal discomfort". it's hoped he'll be able to join them on tuesday. last season's top scorer in serie a has one goal to his name so far at this afcon but it's his tireless running and pressing that's been a key part of nigeria's success. england cricket captain ben stokes said he was happy with the way england went about their run chase, despite losing the second test in india by 106 runs. the series is now level at 1—1. chasing 399 to win, england were bowled out for 292, jack crawley top scoring with 73. india were impressive in their bowling, particularly jasprit bumrah who took nine wickets. ravi ashwin also took 3 for 72 and is now on 499 test wickets. stokes says he was encouraged by england's performance. i was happy with the way we went about that chase. that is exactly how we play cricket. when an opportunity presents
1:49 am
itself and it is a pressure situation i think that actually generally brings the best out of people. it doesn't always work but there were a lot of times we were on top of india and then india were able to produce something that then put them back on top. it's well known that it's difficult to get a win in india, and their head coach rahul dravid has been complimentary of england's bazball approach. it is like hard while slogging, very good skills. some of the shots they are playing require a lot of skill and ability. you can'tjust come a lot of skill and ability. you can't just come there a lot of skill and ability. you can'tjust come there and execute those things and say i want to play attacking leanne not have the skills to execute it. there is more to it than just attacking cricket and i have seen at times they know when to pull back, when to attack, so they are playing slightly differently, no doubt about it. but they have been very successful. for more on this, my colleague chethan pathak spoke
1:50 am
to our chief cricket writer stephan shemilt, who was watching the match in visakapatnam. interesting isn't it some other things england has during this test match? they have pulled no punches. zak crawley and ginny andersen on two separate occasions said they thought they have seen india thinking hard about the way england play and potentially changing their game because of its. let's not forget that india have been burnt by india on on two occasions. england have been in this position before. they lost the next three test matches to loose a serious 3—1. playing in india is as hard as it gets in test cricket. it might be as hard as it gets in all sports. to test every facet of a team— mind, body and soul. it will be fascinating to see what happens to england in the rest of the series. can they summon up the spirit of hyderabad and go again, orare they spirit of hyderabad and go again, or are they going to be overwhelmed by an indian team
1:51 am
thatis overwhelmed by an indian team that is almost unbeatable in these conditions? abs, that is almost unbeatable in these conditions?— these conditions? a 10-day break for — these conditions? a 10-day break for england. - these conditions? a 10-day break for england. they - these conditions? a 10-day| break for england. they will hope thatjoe root�*s finger is ok. i want to ask you about india, bumrah�*s stand out performance. missing first two tests matt two matches. any word on what will happen for the remainder of the series? when you think india's head is at the moment?— at the moment? firstly, the coach was — at the moment? firstly, the coach was asked _ at the moment? firstly, the coach was asked about - at the moment? firstly, the - coach was asked about quality's potential availability for the rest of the series and he batted away straightaway. he said that is a question for the selector. there will be a squad announced in the next couple of days. we will see then. he has been very quiet on him since he he was withdrawing from the first two test matches. but it is just bread first two test matches. but it isjust bread bumrah first two test matches. but it is just bread bumrah who first two test matches. but it isjust bread bumrah who has been the difference between the two sides. he river swings the ball, moved it around at high
1:52 am
pace. england's biggest point bought over the next ten days, before they get to brush cut, will be how they can play bumrah because at the moment he looks the most likely man to win the series for india. there was a comprehensive victory for sri lanka in their one—off test against afghanistan in colombo. they won by 10 wickets, following a batting collapse from the visitors who lost their last nine wickets forjust 82 runs. sri lanka's prabath jayasuriya took five of them. red bull's formula 1 team principal, christian horner, is under investigation after a complaint was made against him. the details haven't been disclosed but red bull say they take the allegations "extremely seriously". horner has been red bull team principal since they first started on the f1 grid in 2005 and has gone on to win seven drivers�* championships and six constructors�* titles with the team. he says he "completely denies" the allegations. emma raducanu has reached the last 16 of the abu dhabi 0pen, as she continues her
1:53 am
comeback from wrist and ankle surgeries last year. it was a good win for raducanu, against the world number 26 marie bouzkova, she came through in straight sets and she'll face an even tougher test next, when she takes on the second seed, 0ns jabeur. now, back to football, and chelsea women's manager emma hayes says the lack of female coaches in english football is a massive issue and the game needs to tackle it. hayes is one of only four female managers in the wsl and this this is herfinal season at chelsea, before she takes up the role as head coach of the usa women's national team. she been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. it is important for the women's game to maintain its unique set of standards, or culture. can coexist with the men's game but still thrive and the women's game is at the very beginning of becoming a humongous sport. you would naturally assume this
1:54 am
urgent playing numbers from girls and women will naturally translate into a bigger pool of coaching but that does not necessarily seem to be the case? i necessarily seem to be the case? ~ ., necessarily seem to be the case? ~' ., ., ., ., ~' case? i think we have to look at the cost — case? i think we have to look at the cost of _ case? i think we have to look at the cost of it _ case? i think we have to look at the cost of it as _ case? i think we have to look at the cost of it as a - case? i think we have to look at the cost of it as a starting | at the cost of it as a starting point. it takes about £10,000 to do a pro license and the wages in women's game are insignificant paired to the men's game. 0n insignificant paired to the men's game. on top of that, perhaps we have to think about educating players much earlier on in their careers. maybe even during international breaks where there is more downtime. we have to come up with more creative ways to get more women involved in coaching at younger ages and most importantly, support, so they can go through the coach education. you support, so they can go through the coach education.— the coach education. you have been asked — the coach education. you have been asked countless - the coach education. you have been asked countless times i been asked countless times about when will women manage men's teams? do think breaking that barry would help accelerate this process towards getting more women to see it as a potential career? , i do not think so. i think it is about
1:55 am
creating minimum standards so the accessibility for women to come into the game is thought about differently and then most importantly in clubs to be in position so they have minimum standards in place to hire women into the game albeit assistant coach or head coaching level. doing that is a challenge. enough time to squeeze in last story. there's been double medal success for great britain at the world aquatic championships. izzy thorpe and kate shortman made history as they won gb's first duet medal in artistic swimming at a world championships, taking silver in the tech duet event. and in the 10—metre platform diving, andrea spendolini—sirieix won bronze, becoming the first british woman to win an individual world championship medal in an olympic diving discipline. that adds to the team gold medal she won at the weekend. for me, marc edwards and the rest of the team, goodbye.
1:56 am
hello there. monday was a day of significant contrasts across the country. mild, dry, but windy across england and wales. pretty wet across northern and central scotland. in fact, highlands seeing over five inches of rain since sunday. and this very slow weather front will gradually drift its way steadily southwards through the day on tuesday. behind it, introducing colder air all the way down from the arctic. that could have an impact later in the week. but tuesday will start off with rain sinking south out of northern ireland into northern england, gradually pushing its way down into wales and the midlands. ahead of it, it stays blustery, cloudy but mild. behind it, quite a clearance, crisper with some sunshine coming through. a few scattered showers turning wintry with elevation. 1—5 degrees generally in scotland, 7—9 celsius under the rain, but still
1:57 am
double digits, 12 or 13 celsius ahead of it. now, that frontal system will continue to bring some rain steadily south and then pushing that colder arctic air pretty much right across the country. the exception is the far southwest. but wednesday will certainly be a brighter day. more sunshine coming through. largely dry with a few scattered showers continuing to be wintry with elevation in scotland. here we'll likely see temperatures 2—4 degrees, but generally around 2—9 celsius. milder in the southwest, and that weather front then tries to squeeze back north into that colder air. and that is going to potentially have quite an impact, as it bumps into the colder air on the leading edge, we could see some snow for a time. favoured spots at the moment look likely to be across wales, the midlands and stretching up into the north of england. to the south of that, it will always stay as rain. but the met office has issued an early yellow warning — be aware that there could be some impacts with some snow through the midlands, north wales and northern england.
1:58 am
two centimetres widely at lower levels, maybe a little more with any elevation. so we'll need to keep an eye on that on thursday. it looks likely that scotland will stay in the colder, brighter, sunnier conditions, and to the south we're likely to continue to see rain. it may well stay relatively mild down to the south as we move into the weekend, but still noticeably colder the further north you go. keep watching the forecast. take care.
