but first to tottenham. .. second in the table this evening after another impressive victory. this time 4—0 against west brom. a harry kane hat trick has lifted them above liverpool who play on sunday. and to within four points of leaders chelsea. azi farni reports. tottenham started the day looking for their sixth league win in a row, with dele alli looking to continue his rich vein of form. but it was his england team—mate and new father harry kane who opened the scoring, a man whose spurs fans call one of their own, celebrating his first goals after having one of his own. spurs looked capable of goals with every attack. they soon made it 2—0, with a shot deflected off gareth mcauley into the back of his own net. the game took an unfortunate twist, when tottenham defender jan vertonghen turned his ankle. spurs are hoping it is not as bad as it looks.

west brom's gareth mcauley‘s day went from bad to worse. his miskick allowing harry kane to find the bottom corner. the point was sealed when fittingly, alli cleverly played in kane. they moved the top of the table, looking capable of mole. —— capable of mole. plenty to talk about from white hart lane and the rest of the premier league action. the talk about it with you, john and john. let's start with the spurs result. hugely impressive performance in what has been a very special week of their star striker, harry kane. what a week. an unbelievable week. he played so well after his partner had a child this week. spurs, particularly in the first half, 78% possession. they equalled the record of six straight wins, they are the real deal this season. west ham, poor performance,

by degree from gareth mcauley. they are usually so organised, it was so unlike them. they got knocked out of the fa cup last weekend as well. tony pulis will not be happy with his players. let's year from the starman, harry kane. the last three times we played them, they scored first. it's been a while, they always hang on there and nick a draw. we try to finish the game. we've done that, it's probably the best performance of the season for us. yes, it was a great day. if you are not on it at these grounds, they will punish you. we gave away some sloppy goals and we never really got going. i don't take a thing away from tottenham, tottenham are a good team, they have people who will punish you. good luck to them for the rest of the season, but it was a bad day for us. no wonder he is disappointed. a bad day for them. arsenal are hot on their heels. an impressive

performance, beating swansea i—o. olivier giroud, what great performance. he scored in each of his nine starts for arsenal. difficult moments here, though, for the swansea boss paul clement. 4—0 defeat. they were the own worst enemies. two on goals, and the assist was from a swansea player as well. a big story which the players will focus on. when alexis sanchez was taken at 4—0 up, he soaked in the dugout. arsene wenger was happy with the win. maybe we were a bit fortunate. you can see that they had more problems to contain us. it's not an eye opener. i know what this level of footballer is like. we have some good players, we are looking to do some other things soon.

i also believe there are games we are not expected to win, and games we are going to have to win. maybe that was not one we were expected to win today. a tough introduction for paul clement, having just taken over at swa nsea. clement, having just taken over at swansea. chelsea were up against the champions, leicester city. and without diego costa, which is the biggest surprise of all, of course. the leading goal—scorer of the chelsea. a lot of talk about potential interest from china, whether or not there is a potential tra nsfers. whether or not there is a potential transfers. he is clearly unsettled, otherwise you would not be leaving him out of the starting line—up. antonio conte is saying it is a back injury which kept costa out of the game. of course there is the rumours of the fallout. chelsea are leading in this game. marcos alonso with the goal. right footed finish. and, yeah, decent finish. leicester city playing with the new formation, three upper back to match the aussie. it didn't work in the first half of the first half, if you know

what i mean —— to matched chelsea. alonso scoring the only goal so far. leicester did improve and they are still in this game. it is 1—0. but diego costa. marcos alonso with the goal so point west ham, a hugely impressive win for them they have something to shout about. in the lead up to this, a great golfer andy carroll, it has been about dimitri payet, another notable absentee from the starting line—up. payet, another notable absentee from the starting line-up. who needs dimitri payet quebec's marked one of the goals of the season from andy carroll. you have to see it. he can almost step in short—term to the dimitri payet role. he was dropped by algeria, a really good performance by west ham. crystal palace, five games under sam alla rdyce palace, five games under sam allardyce without a win. let's get reaction from allardyce. allardyce without a win. let's get reaction from allardycelj allardyce without a win. let's get reaction from allardyce. i hit one in training through the week. i thought, i'll give it another go. a little bit cross, and it went in the

ci’oss. little bit cross, and it went in the cross. it's been awhile in the making. i've been proud of this for a couple of years so i'm glad it has gone in. how high do you read that amongst your goals?|j gone in. how high do you read that amongst your goals? i think it's got to be up there, probably the best one. your concentration and the way you play, it has the last of the whole period of the game. u nfortu nately for whole period of the game. unfortunately for us, we didn'tjust lift one, we gifted two and then three. if you're going to gift them, you're not going to get anywhere. it isa you're not going to get anywhere. it is a bitterly disappointing end to, you know, what looks like a co mforta ble you know, what looks like a comfortable performance. u nfortu nately for comfortable performance. unfortunately for us, we didn't see it out. still searching for is first win since taking over at paris. —— at palace. chelsea have doubled their lead to do — zero, alonso with his second goal. who needs diego costa 7 ! his second goal. who needs diego costa?! they are looking unstoppable even without cost. hazard is playing a more advanced role. so far, so good for chelsea. burnley won today. a good performance from joey barton.

his first premier league start since may after having returned to the clu b may after having returned to the club from the spelt with rangers. you cannot keep this guy out of the headlines. making his premier league debut with burnley. it went sour at rangers. he said, it's my goal. no wonder he is smiling! it is definitely his goal, great moment for him. burnley at home are superb. one of the points this season have been at turf moor —— all of the points. southampton in poorform, losing the last four in the premier league, slipping into the bottom. it is all about one man, joey barton. he has worked hard since he's been back here. you know, i tend to believe in people i've worked with, and people i haven't, some of them, what they can offer us. i know what joey offers us. he has an interesting life, to say the least, and this is another strange twist in his interesting life.

hull were in trouble at the bottom of the table. they have made a new appointment with the new manager. marco silva lost his first cup game in charge. now he has won his first premier league game in charge. he had the impact he needed. they had at her. for the stanislas with the penalty, bournemouth took the lead. anand is with two goals, and on an excellent win —— hernandez. marco silva making an excellent start in the premier league. what i saw in the game, i saw one team with big experience, a big character, it's important for me, first of all. we have a big attitude. and when i saw the fantastic behaviour with our fans, for me, it's very important also. that win take them off the bottom. also today, sunderland were in action. we know the difficulties they were facing up the bottom of

they were facing up the bottom of the table. they were beaten co mforta ble the table. they were beaten comfortable you by stoke 3—1. the table. they were beaten comfortable you by stoke 3-1. peter crouch scored again. he is edging towards 100 goals in the premier league. jermain defoe scored a consolation, it was not enough. sunderland are five games without a win. stoke recovering from the shock fa cup defeat. it is very, very difficult for sunderland at the bottom of the table. the players need to take responsibility. they need to stop making individual mistakes. i didn't think overall the performance was that bad. but by the time we got three goals, they made the game very difficult. but we stuck at it in the second half, we created one or two chances ourselves. we weren't quite able to take them. we were never really in trouble throughout the proceedings today. it is a good response. it is the right result and the right performance, after a poor performance last weekend. i said during the week that my group of players, more often than not, if they've disappointed people, which we did

last weekend, more fun than not we bounce back quickly, and that's what we've done today. watford were in action against middlesbrough today. it was an emotional day at vicarage road as tributes were paid to the former watford manager graham taylor, who died on thursday at the age of 72. not n ot exa ctly not exactly a classic. a goalless draw. it was all about one man basil mccrea and trailer. brilliant tributes to him. it was a board game —— graham taylor. there were long i’u ns —— graham taylor. there were long runs without a win. a decent point, but a very poor game for the spectators. let's take a look at how things look in the premier league table tonight. as far as matter that the top are concerned, tottenham going well. hot on the heels are small, trailing by a single point —— are arsenal. there are some big tunes on sunday. manchester united against liverpool, everton against much as the city. this table could change. arsenal, the revision only, up change. arsenal, the revision only, up to third after the 4—0 win.

tributes were paid to the former watford manager graham taylor who died on thursday at the age of 72. players and fans observed a minute's applause on the pitch before kick—off. he managed the club in the late 70s and 805, leading kick—off. he managed the club in the late 705 and 805, leading watford from the fourth division to the old fir5t from the fourth division to the old first division inju5t from the fourth division to the old first division in just five years, a credible achievement. an emotional day. not only the only place that tribute5 have been paid. the other team he led with similar distinction, wa5 the other team he led with similar distinction, was of course a5ton villa, who are involved in the late game in the championship today. fans and players from both the land their opponents, wolves, who he also managed, led the applause by taylor before the kick—off in the match. incidentally, wolve5 are currently

1-0 incidentally, wolve5 are currently 1—0 up at molineux. joe mason giving the home side the lead afterju5t14 minutes. there's just over half an hour left in that championship match. neither of those two are threatening the top of the table, which has new leaders tonight. tonight after newcastle won 2—1 at brentford. and brighton, who have a game in hand, lost at pre5ton. sheffield wednesday consolidated a playoff place with a win today. while the bottom two teams, rotherham and wigan, also both won. ho5ts gabon were held to a 1—1 draw by guinea—bissau in the opening match of the africa cup of nations. gabon took the lead through their star player, the boru55ia dortmund striker pierre emerick aubameyang. but couldn't hold on against a team playing at their first cup of nations. guinea—bissau equalised in the last minute throuthuary soare5 to record a huge 5hock. later, cameroon play burkina fa5o. it is the first ever tournament. —— the first ever tournament. a dramatic late try gave wa5p5 a vital win in rugby union's european champions

cup. a victory over toulouse that puts them on the verge of a quarter—final place. hannah lupton has the details. a few things ignited excitement like a must win game between two european heavyweights. with a quarterfinal place on the line, mi55ed opportunities didn't settle any early nerves. jean—marc dou55ain didn't bring his kicking boots to coventry, butjimmy gopperth dead. at the break, advantage wa5p5, ju5t. the smallest margins can make the biggest difference. it driver to lo5e. the four—time european champions now are the front —— a try for the lee5. it took all of wa5p5‘ effort to pick the defence. elliot daly found an opening, his first cri5i5 october. with less than ten minutes to go, the hard work of the home side was an done. a penalty try

for the visitors, and danny cipriani 5in binned. wa5p5‘ fate was hanging in the balance. withju5t 5in binned. wa5p5‘ fate was hanging in the balance. with just one 5in binned. wa5p5‘ fate was hanging in the balance. withju5t one minute left, dan robson pulled it back in their favour. but try made all the difference in that game, and it may make all the difference to the season. make all the difference to the 5ea5on. second placed glasgow warrior5 5ea5on. second placed glasgow warriors of playing leaders munster. finn russell giving them a 9—6 lead. they are attempting to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time. it is currently 9—9. northampton already know they cannot make it out of the ball. 27—21 it fini5hed make it out of the ball. 27—21 it finished at home to castrate. —— out of the pool. later, leicester or away at racing 92. in the challenge cup, gloucester led trevi5o thanks to tries from james hook and richard hibbard, while edinburgh beat ha rlequins hibbard, while edinburgh beat harlequin5 23—18. england's one—day players will be hoping to restore some pride

as the second half of their tour of india gets underway in the morning. the test series ended in a 4—0 win for the hosts. but 2016 was an impressive year for england in the shorter form5 of the game, with three odis and three t205 to come over next couple of weeks. our reporter tim peach is in pune ahead of the opening game. to have joe to havejoe root back, it's great news. he can go through all four months and it wouldn't bother me throwing him back into the side. he is a level—headed quy into the side. he is a level—headed guy who feed5 into the side. he is a level—headed guy who feeds on where he is at at the moment. he had a reasonably 5trong te5t the moment. he had a reasonably 5trong test series in reasonably tough conditions. he looks in good

form. they play 31—day internationals followed by 3t205. you can listen to them all on radio five live sports extra starting at 7:a5am tomorrow morning. a series whitewash for south africa, who won all three test5. a series whitewash for south africa, who won all three tests. the sri lankan player was caught out by a sprintingjp lankan player was caught out by a sprinting jp duminy. what a lankan player was caught out by a sprintingjp duminy. what a catch, the hugely impre55ive. not the only good catch in that game, i can tell you. in the australian big ba5h league, melbourne star5 won by seven wicket5 against perth scorcher5. ian bell played for perth and was out for a golden duck, although tim bre5nan did make 20 runs for the scorcher5. in reply, kevin pietersen made 44 not out for melbourne star5,

including this six, to help melbourne to victory. meanwhile, it couldn't have been much closer in the women's big ba5h match between the sydney thunder sydney sixer5, which thunder won on boundaries, not run5! the match was tied, so went into a super over, but then both teams made eight run5. it meant the thunder won, because they'd hit 16 boundaries while the sixer5 made 1a. ahead of the australian open that starts on monday, britain's dan evan5 has lost in the final of the warm—up event, the sydney international. it was his first atp tour final, and after his run this week, evans is already guaranteed to climb to a new career—high ranking — just outside the top 50. he saved two 5et point5 against gilles muller of luxembourg, before losing the opening set on a tie—break. eva n5 couldn't recover in the second, as he lost that 6—2 and with it the match.

but going well in the lead up to the australian open. so dan evan5 goes into the australian open with the highest ranking of his career. as will andy murray. it's his first grand slam as world number one.. he'll begin his bid for a fourth major against ukraine's ilya marchenko. it's not the easiest draw thereafter. with both roger federer and stan wawrinka in his half. this is one of the two grand slam5 murray's never won. though he has come close. i've been in the final five times now. i've done really well in the past. but i've just never quite managed to get over the final hurdle. i'm hoping this is going to be my year. ifini5hed last season a5 be my year. ifini5hed last season as best as i could coming in as number one in the world. so i feel good. he is playing well as well. there'll be two brits against two au55ies in the first round of the women's draw. heather watson and naomi broady will both face opponents who'll have the backing of the home fans. broady is up against daria gavrilova while watson is playing the more

experienced samantha sto5ur. who's a former us open champion. but has a poor record at her home tournament. i look forward to playing 5ound5. i've played against her a couple of time5 i've played against her a couple of times before. she's a great player. she's been around for a long time. and she has an all—round game. and i think for me, it's not the focus on her too much. i know the talk will be about her a lot, playing at home, which it is every single year. i ju5t which it is every single year. i just want to focus on myself and play my game as best as i can. rory mcilroy is three shots off the lead going into the final day of the south africa open. mcilroy had looked set to be out in front when he holed from the fairway with this shot at the par four 5eventh. you always think it's going your way if you managed to nail your second

shot. but under pressure from the world number two, england's graeme storm has held firm at the top of the leaderboard. he followed up his round of 63 yesterday with a five under par round of 67 today, to take him to 17 under parfor the tournament, three clear of mcilroy. li5a a5hton has become bdo world dart5 champion for the third time after a comfortable win in the ladies' final at lakeside. a5hton, who's from bolton, beat the australian corrinne hammond by three sets to nil to add to the world titles she won in 2014 and 2015. the third seed danny noppert is into the final in the men's draw. it's the dutchman's first ever appearance at lakeside, but he beat the now three—time semi—finalist, england's darryl fitton in a tense match by five sets to three. top seed glen durrant play5 jamie hughes in the other semifinal, that match starts in the next hour. the 7—1 shot modu5 won the lanzarote hurdle in the big race of the day at kempton park. ridden by barry geraghty,
