erling haaland wrapped up a 3—1 victory in stoppage time. the result means if city beat liverpool when both sides play at anfield next sunday, they'd go top. city manager pep guardiola wasn't eager to talk about the title race afterwards — but very happy to heap praise on his star striker foden. he is the best player, right now, in the premier league. so for the amount of things he does, he is unbelievable. there was a moment just towards the end when he raced down back towards the left and made a tackle, does that give you as much pleasure as the other stuff? i will be honest! the guy who doesn't do that, he is not allowed to stay in this team, so you have this physicality because — i think he loves to play football, he lives for football. he weight training sessions and play games. he is a joy, and, of course, his work ethic is unbelievable. good performance, our side.
3:46 am
we went1—0 up, according plan, and we had our moments afterwards as well to go for a second one. i think we defended very well but then, yeah, the two defining moments where we almost make a breakthrough, we considered the first goal and also the second goal after, also a defining moment when gunners is two in the break. then, you are disappointed. we have to accept it but it is what it is. still, i think we had the opportunity to at least get one point but also it was possible. vincent kompany�*s burnley remain joint bottom of the premier league, 11 points from safety, after defeat at home to bournemouth. andoni iraola's side were 2—0 winners at turf moor with antoine semenyo getting their second goal. the victory moves them 11 points clear of the bottom three.
3:47 am
what do i want for my team? i want my team to show the energy they did today. i want my team to show they are willing to fight and do everything for what is a wonderful opportunity, being in the premier league with burnley. that is it in the end, winning, losing, in the game long enough to know that you don't always control that output, the final ball that puts it in the back of the net and you have got to rely on your players to turn a corner, that is really important. we are in a good moment, we are playing well, but we didn't get the win. probably we need a game like this, we probably didn't play so well. you know how to win it and you finish with a clean sheet and think it will be some confidence for the next games. very important for us. bayer leverkusen are ten points clear at the top of the german bundesliga,

3:51 am
all the numbers right. i don't think my mum is too happy with me. i think that's too many third attempts for my poor mum, but my second world indoor title, that is super cool and so i'm just glad i was able to pull it out. this time for duplantis, there was no world record. instead that came in the women's 60m hurdles. devynne charlton of the bahamas had set that record just last month. this was even better. they clear of the field, in 7.65. she came here expecting, some athletes had barely been given a chance was not this was the last lap of the 1500m. up on the outside from new zealand came this week's shock winner. george beamish barely believed it. his speciality is steeplechase. now on the flat he brought the time of his life. it stopped a us one, too. the states, though, it would top the medal table and took gold in the women's long jump. tara davis would take in the noise. she had already won the title before this lastjump and yet

3:53 am
to a third hole. that gave gumberg the chance to win it and the american sealed his first title with a long birdie putt. i'm just happy to be standing here. yeah, didn't think it was possible with where i was and how far back i was coming in and, you know, i guess it was on my side today. luck was on my side. sojust happy to be here. it changes my life, really. just with what we've accomplished here, i can check my own schedule and set a plan for the year, something i've never been able to do so really looking forward to that. and chile'sjoaquin niemann has won liv golf'sjeddah invitational by four shots. he won his second title in three liv tour starts this season, closing with a four—under 66 to finish on 17 under after three rounds in saudi arabia. the 25—year—old won the australian open in december and has been invited to play at the masters following three top—five finishes on the dp world tour. yeah, it's a super
3:54 am
special moment. it is always nice when you win. i'm just happy with the way i play right now and the way i played out there today, it was a tough day, it was windy, i knew there was going to be some low scores so yeah, i'm super happy, i'm proud the way i'm playing, i just want to go onto the next one. that is all from me and the team. a reminder, if you head over to the website, plenty of reaction there to sunday's football results, including the win in the manchester derby. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. the weather was pretty decent for most of us on sunday. some sunshine, just a few showers here and there. but i think the bulk of the evening and overnight, across the uk,
3:55 am
will be generally clear or at least clear spells. and we'll have a frost as well, a bit like last night. now the air over us is relatively chilly, but in the coming days we'll see slightly milder south—westerly winds developing across the uk. so those temperatures will creep up, butjust by a couple of degrees. no more than that, nothing dramatic. the satellite picture shows where the clear skies have been earlier on. a few splashes of rain arriving across northern ireland later in the afternoon. but generally further north and east, you should stay dry for a good part of the day and temperatures will range between around 7—12 degrees. now, moving into monday evening, that's when the patchy rain pushes its way further eastwards across parts of england, eastern scotland as well, tending to fizzle out a bit as it does so. it'll be another fairly chilly night as we head into tuesday morning for some parts of wales, central and southern england as well, but not as cold as the current night. now, as we move through monday night into tuesday, then this area of low pressure,
3:56 am
this weather front continues to drift its way eastwards, but it's tending to fizzle out. so, i think early tuesday, we are likely to see a bit of cloud and patchy light rain for eastern england and eastern scotland. once that clears away, sunny spells for most. a little bit more cloud and a few showers in the west around some of these irish sea coasts. but reasonably light winds, temperatures not doing too badly — up to around about 8—12 degrees, so pretty typical for this stage in early march. and, then as we look towards the middle of the week, then, we're going to see high pressure sitting across scandinavia. weather fronts try and move in from the atlantic, but as they bump into that area of high pressure, they're not going to make too many inroads. so, for wednesday, perhaps some showery rain moving into the far southwest of england, perhaps northern ireland, a little bit breezy here. but for much of the british isles, i think things are looking dry and settled. again, some early—morning mist, frost and fog possible, clearing away to leave sunny spells and thankfully a dry spell of weather with highs around about 8—12 for most of us. so, as we look towards the middle part of the week, into thursday and friday, plenty of dry weather. could be odd spots of rain, particularly towards the west.
