the 21—year—old became the youngest premier league player to score in six straight games after putting united two up inside seven minutes against luton. they won the match 2—1, but clung on in the latter stages. united nowjust five points off the top four. their manager feels they should have been out of sight much earlier. i think we should have scored many more goals. i think it could have been 3—0, 4—0. how we started the game is exactly how he wanted to do it. the only thing that we didn't do so well was be so clinical in front of the goal, to score more goals, because today easily we could have scored five goals. there is a huge match

with ramifications at the bottom of the premier league later as everton host crystal palace — both sides desperate for the points to secure their safety come the end of the season. everton are in the drop zone courtesy of their points deduction for breaching financial rules, which they are appealing. they haven't won in the league since mid—december, but their opponents, palace, face turmoil of their own. manager roy hodgson was taken to hospital last week after falling ill in training, with reports suggesting the 76—year—old will be replaced by former frankfurt boss oliver glasner. obviously, it's nothing to do with us. and if it imbalances their situation, that's helpful. but equally, you can turn it the other way. and will they galvanise for that situation? who knows? but i've always kept the straight forward thinking that it's about us. we've got to make the game about us, particularly at goodison. of course we want to take the game on and we've got to have that mentality. bayern munich head coach thomas tuchel has the backing of the club's chief executive, despite the team falling to their third loss in as many games. a late harry kane goal wasn't

enough to save their skin against mid—table bochum, who won 3—2 on sunday. defender dayot upemecano was sent off for the second game running on a miserable day overall for bayern. the pressure will be fully on tuchel, given they have fallen eight points behind leaders leverkusen in the bundesliga and potentially could go out of the champions league next month. we wa nted we wanted to close the gap before the week, the opposite happened. we wanted to win all three matches, we lost all three which is, of course, way below our expectations and demands to ourselves. again, this one today, does not fit into the story of the last two matches. the nba all—star game didn't disappoint, with the eastern conference beating their western counterparts in the traditional february classic — the winners scoring the most points in the game's 73 year history. all—star mvp damian lillard of the milwaukee bucks scored 39 points as the western side

won 211 points to 186, surpassing the points record set eight years ago. though on the losing side, steph curry gave a standout performance and, after 1a seasons in the nba, assured people he's not retiring any time soon. i think about it all the time, but the thought stop because you have got to get ready for the next game. there is a routine and a cycle that goes that you embrace the now and eventually you will get to the point where you will wake up and, whatever your body is telling you, your mind is telling you time, but don't think it is anywhere —— i am anywhere close to bats. —— close to that. —— close to that. curry responding to his future, after lebronjames indicated time wasn't on his side. in his 21st year, the multiple nba champion says he has

"not many seasons left", but has his eyes set on another gold medalfor the usa at the paris olympics this summer. imean, i i mean, i told i mean, itold myself i mean, i told myself before this season when i committed to being a part of the olympic team, obviously that was all predicated on my health. as it stands right now i am healthy enough to be on the team and perform at a level i know i can perform at a level i know i can perform at. if i am committed to team usa, as i am, iwill commit perform at. if i am committed to team usa, as i am, i will commit my body and soul to representing our country with the most respect and go out and play. and the 2021 masters champion, hideki matsuyama produced an incredible fightback to land his ninth pga tour title, with victory at the genesis invitational. matsuyama rallied from a six—shot deficit with a 9—under 62, to win at the riviera country club — in the lowest closing round by a winner at the course. overnight leader patrick cantlay finished in fourth, behind will zalatoris and luke list. that's all the sport for now. of course, you can get more on all of those stories on the bbc sport

website or the bbc sport app. see you later on. you are live with bbc news. let's look at ukraine now because this week's marks the second anniversary of the start of the war. as russian forces making advances in the east, there are concerns over what the third year of conflict may bring. how do you judge the mood of a country this big and this broken? we've come back to a frontline town — lyman — a place seized by russian forces and then liberated by ukraine back in 2022. since then, the closest frontlines

have remained just up the road. this was aleksander a year ago with his cats. aleksander? yes. andrew from bbc. today he's still here. "yes, i remember you," he says. he shows me the wreckage of his old apartment block, hit by russian missiles. and he says he sees this war differently now. i want peace, peace, peace. so has your opinion changed? changed — many changed. so this is interesting. he's changed his opinion over the course of the last year. before, he said ukraine had to win this war. now he's saying there's been too much death, too much suffering. he wants talks, even if it means giving up land. peace is more important than victory. you can feel the weariness on the streets of lyman. british aid distributed here, mostly to pensioners, who ignore the sound of another explosion on the front lines.

"our youth are being exterminated." "if this continues, there'll be no ukraine left," says nadezhda. "this war will go on for a long time yet," says pasha. but it's not all gloom here. council workers are out doing what they can and a younger generation isjust getting on with life. school is mostly online, but not entirely. "i've got everything i need," she says. a year ago, we found families hiding from the war in these cellars. and today, the dmitrichenko family are still here. but there's regular electricity now — waterfrom a pump outside, and irina, an accountant, is quietly determined.

"we're waiting for victory," she says. "we are all tired, but i don't see how we can negotiate with murderers." still, lyman�*s mayor is worried that america will stop supplying weapons to the ukrainian troops protecting his town. "we're fighting a monster," says aleksander. "so we need more outside military help. our soldiers are doing their best, but they're running out of guns and ammunition." this small town feels torn between determination and despair. what unites it now is sheer exhaustion, the knowledge that this war will not be quickly won, and increasingly, the fear that ukraine's fate may yet be decided by foreign politicians in faraway capitals. andrew harding, bbc news in eastern ukraine.

hello again. as we go through this week, the weather will turn a bit cooler, but temperatures will be closer to where we would expect them at this time of year. what we have at the moment is the back edge of that weather front clearing away and a ridge of high pressure builds in behind it, settling things down before the next few weather fronts come our way. so into the afternoon, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, some scattered showers and a bit more cloud turning the sunshine hazy in the west before this weather front comes in, introducing some rain later. temperatures 8 to 1a degrees north to south. so down a little on yesterday, but still above average for this time of year. now through this evening and overnight, ourfirst weather front comes in from the west, pushes eastwards across scotland. then the second one comes in, bringing in more rain, strengthening winds and more cloud. the far southeast, though, remaining fairly clear.

this is where it will be coolest, especially in east anglia, with overnight lows around about 4 degrees. so that takes us into tomorrow. a weather front will come in from the northwest and continue to push steadily southwards and eastwards. as you can see from the isobars, it's going to be quite a breezy day as well, but a wet one initially across scotland and northern ireland, with that band of rain continuing to sweep southwards into england and wales, followed by sunny spells and scattered showers and preceded by a fair bit of cloud and some bright spells. temperatures, 8 in lerwick to 1a in london. then as we move on into wednesday, things change a touch in that we've got some heavy rain pushing northwards and eastwards, some snow in the hills of wales, northern england and scotland. and as the rain clears, we see a return to bright spells, sunshine and showers. but it's going to be widely windy, with strong gale force winds across the north of scotland

and also into the northern and western isles. but temperatures still round about the 11 to 13 mark. but that will change. as we lose the southwesterly, we pull in more of a northwesterly from thursday, friday and into the weekend. so temperatures dipping back to where roughly we would expect them to be. now, on thursday, we've got this band of rain sweeping towards the east. it may linger longer in the south of england. behind it, we'll see some wintry showers, most of these in the hills, but you could see some sleet or even some hail at lower levels. but the temperatures going down for most — six in lerwick to 10 in hull, 12 in london.
