they're beaten for the first time in 41 games. rory mcllroy can't handle the rory mcilroy can't handle the storm as the englishman winds this first european tour title in ten years. —— wins. the big game was liverpool and manchester united, but the big surprise was everton and manchester city. everton beat city 4—0, pep guardiola's heaviest ever defeat in a league competition as a manager. ronald koeman‘s everton will be pleased as ademola lookman scored just minutes after coming on for his everton debut. romelu lukaku and kevin mirallas got the first two goals either side of half time, with another teenager, tom davies, getting the third on just his second league start. it's a fifth league defeat of the season for city, but who or what was at fault?
1:46 am
it would be a huge mistake to blame one person as the reason why, but it's the first time we have conceded a lot of goals, it's never happened before. that's why i have to know the reason why. i'm so happy at manchester. of course i prefer to win than to lose, but i'm so happy, the way i'm trying to do things until my last day as best as possible to think or to achieve what i think is the best way to play. i think the second half was perfect in every aspect of football. the first half we controlled it, but they had some good chances. i think they had some good chances. i think the difference was we scored at the right time in the game in the first half, but also the second half
1:47 am
straight after half—time. that made it very difficult for them. zlatan ibrahimovic scored a late equaliser at old trafford as manchester united and liverpool drew i—i. ibrahimovic cancelled out james milner‘s first half penalty with a header in the 84th minute. in the end neither manager could complain too much about the shared points. it was very emotional. it was intense. it was aggressive, but a good aggressive, not a bad one. we fought until the last second to try to win it, but liverpool did the same to try not to lose it. so i think in the end the result is justified. we got free kicks, we got corners and all that stuff. after 80 minutes of high—intensity football, it's really hard. so when i saw the boys,
1:48 am
i hoped they would have a little bit of luck, unfortunately one situation we had and the second we didn't. all good. tomorrow i can enjoy the result but today, only the performance. here's how it looks at the top of the table now. chelsea lead by seven points and that draw means liverpool drop to third on goal difference behind tottenham, who won on saturday. arsenal are a further point behind, having gone above city into fourth following their win on saturday. united stay sixth and in touch with champions league places. real madrid's unbeaten run is over and the primera division looks close again. sevilla got two goals in the last five minutes to beat real 2—1. cristiano ronaldo converted a second—half penalty to put real ahead. sergio ramos headed into his own net to draw sevilla level before sub jovetic scored the winner in the 91st minute of the game. real, with a game in hand,

still head the table but only by a point from sevilla in second and two points from barcelona in third. at the beginning of the year they were six points clear. fiorentina pulled off the shock of the day in italy beating the leaders juventus in serie a's 2—1. juventus had been seven points clear at the top but as roma beat udinese 1—0 the gap is now just a single point. napoli beat pescara 3—1, and lazio remain fourth, five points off the lead, after a 2—1 win over atalanta. shocks at the africa cup of nations in gabon too where algeria were held by zimbabwe. senegal top that group after beating tunisia 2—0. with more from the libreville, here's ed harry. riyad mahrez produced at the best
1:50 am
all—round performance of the opening weekend here. how many times have we seen him cut inside from the right and curla seen him cut inside from the right and curl a left footed shot into goal pretty one of those gave algeria the early left dell might lead against zimbabwe but when they slipped to—9 behind against the south african nation then an upset threaten and mahrez dragged his team back into it, inspired the fight back into it, inspired the fight back and scored his second of the match late on to salvage a share of the points. in the late game any senegalese nerves were settled by an early sadio mane penalty but after that their opponents tunisia could never really get back into the swing of the game. bbc african footballer of the game. bbc african footballer of the game. bbc african footballer of the year mahrez, mane and the hosts' aubameyang often in recent yea rs hosts' aubameyang often in recent years linked with a move to the premier league, the best have brought their best here to gabon. ed harry, bbc news, libreville. the first tennis grand slam of the year is under way. and we've had outr first shock, romania's simona halep, ranked four in the world,
1:51 am
has been knocked out by the american shelby rogers. halep was beaten in straight sets 6—3, 6—1. just straight sets 6—3, 6—1. like she was last year going out just like she was last year going out in the first round. next on rod laver arena is american venus williams against ukrainian kateryna kozlova. andy murray, the world number one, will begin his bid for a first australian open title against ukraine's ilya marchenko in the rod laver arena later. murray has reached five finals in melbourne but lost on every occasion, four times to defending champion novak djokovic and once to roger federer. i obviously broke dell might feel pretty confident after the way last season finished. i do love it here. i love the conditions. i have played really well here over the years and obviously haven't managed to get over the final hurdle. but, yeah, i

think i'm in a decent position for sure to do it. i think i have a chance to win here. over on margaret court arena, seventh seed garbine muguruza is a set up against marina erakovic. the home fans will be cheering on bernard tomic later. and on hisense arena fifth seed kei nishikori from japan lost the first set against russia's andrey kuznetsov, but he's levelled it at 1—1. stay in touch all the games on our website bbc.com/sport. the bangladesh captain mushfiqur rahim has been taken to hospital after being hit by a bouncerfrom new zealand bowler tim southee. he was struck on the back of the helmet. an ambulance came onto the field in wellington and he was stretchered off. his batting partner at the time
1:53 am
tamim iqbal said he was speaking and he went to to hospital as a precaution. the first test looks to be heading for a draw. bangladesh have been bowled out for 160 in their second innings. that's a lead of 216 but new zealand are unlikley to get that with just over a session remaining. they may struggle to get the runs quickly enough and a draw seems likely there. the green bay packers are one win away from the super bowl after they beat the dallas cowboys 34—31 in their nfl playoff on sunday. mason crosby kicked a dramatic field goal, holding his nerve to kick the winning three—pointer from 51 yards with just three seconds left on the game clock. the packers will now play the atlanta falcons next sunday in the national football conference championship game for a place in super bowl. graeme storm has won his first european tour title in ten years, beating rory mcilroy in a dramatic play—off at the south african open. the briton is lucky to even be playing on the tour after he only
1:54 am
just retained his card for the 2017 season. it all came down to the third extra hole where storm came to within inches of a birdie. mcilroy had to hole his putt to stay in the tournament but failed to do so. a simple tap in then sealed the win for storm. his only previous tour win came back in 2007 at the french open. i was saying to read coming up 18 in the play—off, the last one there, that we'd never played before and he didn't know that and to play 18 holes with someone like rory, it's just a dream come true, especially where i've come from in the last year. it's a great story, going from thinking he'd lost his card last year to winning first time out this year, really pleased for him. i wish i could have done something more but not a bad way to start the season and definitely something to build on in the weeks ahead. that's it, i'll see you soon. bye for now. hello there, good morning.
