round of the australian open. also coming up in the programme: another win and another masters final for ronnie 0'sullivan. and the burden of a possible funding cut on the shoulders of britain's weightlifters. good evening, it's another big weekend of sport with tennis, rugby and snooker to come but we start with the news that captain wayne rooney has become manchester united's record goalscorer. rooney's late equaliser away at stoke city in the premier league is his 250th goal for the club and eclipses the mark set by sir bobby charlton. here's what rooney had to say after the game... it's a great feeling, obviously. bit
6:33 pm
ofa it's a great feeling, obviously. bit of a strange one and the minute, having dropped two points, but in the grand scheme of things it's a hugely proud moment for myself and something that will live with me i'm sure for the rest of my life. i have the most respect for sir bobby and he came and talked to me after the game and congratulated me. he's pleased, but it is a great honour for me. i am a team player, but i think records are important and especially when you finish play, it is something you can look back on and something for when your kids grow older they can look at. but todayit grow older they can look at. but today it is a proud moment. plenty more stories to get your teeth into from football. sir bobby charlton spoke after the game and said he was quite
6:34 pm
disappointed. stood for some 40 yea rs disappointed. stood for some 40 years but sir bobby was in the crowd watching, as you can see, with his back to wayne rooney but he was applauding at the time. usain bolt on twitter, he says yes. famous manchester united fan. 250 goals in some 546 games. let's see if we can get a better response than usain bolt. an incredible achievement for his career to have the manchester united record. and a record that belonged to a legend like sir bobby and now wayne rooney is the man and becomes a legend for our club. it won't be surpassed, in my view. it's taken 40 odd years for sir bobby's record to be beaten. that tells you how difficult and what a
6:35 pm
high mark that sir bobby actually put down as a marker. credit to wayne, he has played at a high level for a huge amount of time now and that longevity has enabled him to get close and in the supplier said. u nfortu nately get close and in the supplier said. unfortunately from our point of view we didn't want it to be today. chris is here taking me through the league results today. there was a torrid result forjurgen klopp's liverpool, beaten 3—2 at home by strugglers swansea city. alex gulrajani watched swansea's first league win at anfield. lofty heights at the top of the premier league is where liverpool's ambitions have long been. to win the title and entertain along the way. adam lallana was intent to make sure those on the pitch delivered a treat. he went close. tom carroll on debut for swansea with a bit of help went even closer. their manager paul clement was happy, and not long after the interval, ecstatic. fernando llorente in the right place to put swansea ahead. celebrations had barely got started
6:36 pm
when he popped up again. merseyside was in shock. but not for long. roberto firmino got anfield going again. and he wasn't finished there. an equaliser showing his skill and ability. made in brazil, delivered to a mersey beat. the response they needed. now to go on and win. swansea had other ideas. they are battling at the other end of the table. any break isjumped on. sigurdsson wouldn't let this one get away. a famous first premier league win for paul clement, they move closer to their target as liverpool slip further away from their peers. the defeat leaves liverpool seven points behind leaders chelsea, who now have a game in hand, at home against hull on sunday. got thejob on got the job on january got the job onjanuary three. lots of people doubted clement, saying he
6:37 pm
is young and has not worked in the premier league as a manager. worked with carlo ancelotti at some big clu bs, with carlo ancelotti at some big clubs, madrid and munich, but he doesn't know the premier league. but he is proving tojurgen klopp he knows how to get big wins. they came out after half—time really invigorated. sigurdsson got the winner. 0nly their fifth winner of the season. jurgen klopp looking unhappy like most liverpool fans. seven points behind chelsea. jurgen klopp from the bundesliga used to having winter breaks. he will always have christmas off, you do not get that in the premier league. they have played three league games this year so far with no wins. it's all about reaction, but in this moment that's not allowed. that it damaged us or whatever. but in this moment it should have and it
6:38 pm
has. it feels really bitter in this moment. of course, we analyse it, we always do. we analyse even the games we win. we will do the same, but i can already say that around the goals we defended really bad. today it was... the rest was not good enough to win the game. this team has been criticised when goals have gone in against them. confidence has gone down. they have just capitulated. but i've not seen that today. i saw the opposite. a team full of character. well organised. followed the plan absolutely how i asked them to do it. they deserved the victory, and it comes from the work we have done on the training field. that win for swansea city means there is a new team at the bottom, sunderland. not a good result against west brom. but a great result for west brom,
6:39 pm
darren fletcher ‘s good goal, the captain. chris brunt into the top corner. quietly going about their business establishing themselves in the top half. excellent stuff for tony pulis. but really concerning for sunderland. just losing games and leaking goals at the back. one thing they are having to worry about his teams around them winning. but for pulis, well done. we've done really well. the players have really embraced what we try to do and supporters have as well. it helps when you're winning and the atmosphere is fantastic. we played better in the second half, that's for sure. i have said for a few weeks, we are giving poor goals away. doing everything we can to eradicate it, but it's a disease at the moment. things changing at the bottom.
6:40 pm
crystal palace into the eighth relegation zone. late winner from seamus coleman for everton. everton also playing well. sam allardyce, former england manager, has not had the new manager bounce. in the past the new manager bounce. in the past the was brought in and teams would start winning. he has been there for five games. but for ronald koeman they keep steaming up the league. the time when we played arsenal at home at the beginning of december we changed how we reacted, the team is more aggressive than it was before. that is also really important in the premier league that we show that every weekend. and also today that was the key in my opinion to win the game. i have been here before so i will try and manage the team out of it
6:41 pm
with the backroom staff and if the team believe as much as i do, if the players believe as much as i do we will get out. a lot of teams just going against us, it tends to happen when you down the bottom. so we've got to believe we can turn that around ourselves. if we keep improving ourand around ourselves. if we keep improving our and workrate, we keep oui’ improving our and workrate, we keep our team spirit and state positive we can work our our team spirit and state positive we can work our way our team spirit and state positive we can work our way out of this problem. when he lost his job with england, when he lost hisjob with england, a lot of people were mentioning the name of eddie howe, but another game they have failed to win today. and perhaps were lucky to get the draw. benik afobe pulled them back into the game against watford. watford leading twice. both goals coming from corners, bournemouth not defending well. not very good at all, eight goals in the last three games. who scored 7
6:42 pm
all, eight goals in the last three games. who scored? josh king scored their first games. who scored? josh king scored theirfirst goal. games. who scored? josh king scored their first goal. well worked from adam smith down the right. benik afobe did well to level but they are leaking a lot of goals. it is a strange one today because i thought we played framework and patches of today's game. we started well and put them on the back foot. did everything but score. then we can see from two set plays and it is very difficult to take when you are so dominant in the game but great character from the mavs to bounce back. character from the lads to bounce back. since andy carroll return from injury west ham have been very good indeed. all the while dimitri payet is nowhere to be seen. this transfer that seems to be happening. looks like he is heading back to france and marseille. they have said they would only sell him at the right price. he is sulking somewhere but slaven bilic and his team, andy carroll especially, playing really well. three goals in a week, scored that wonderful volley against crystal palace. visions of whiplash
6:43 pm
but i do not think he felt any after—effects. scored twice to them slaven bilic was very happy. it was a good week for us after the palace in. we played with confidence against them and use that momentum to build on that and to come here and put out a really strong performance and three massive points for us. especially good with a good performance. that is great. we weren't in the way the crowd demanded. even last season we have one style and we didn't score, we didn't create one chance play in that style. the team was broken on the pitch. we decided to win more games. just pausing for a second, huge game at the top, city
6:44 pm
with 11 shots on goal in the staff when they have just taken the lead the minutes ago, through leroy sane after hugo lloris makes a mistake. and then another mistake, kevin de bruyne capitalising on another error, 2—0. huge win for pep guardiola this would be. tottenham perhaps one of the inform teams in the league. manchester city themselves, pep guardiola admitting they are probably not in the title race. this into the tearing them apart. as you can see that win for swa nsea apart. as you can see that win for swansea taking them away from trouble. most of the teams at the bottom playing tomorrow. bournemouth in 11th place despite the draw. this is the most interesting thing. swa nsea is the most interesting thing. swansea today with their fifth win of the season, huge win at anfield.
quote
6:45 pm
almost like three wins in one, sunderland lost, crystal palace drift further down and swansea can climb. that is the way it can go in the premier league. it is so tight down there. three points separating the bottom four. and at the top, jose mourinho and manchester united won't be very happy with that. if manchester city win this game they will be well ahead. arsenal playing burnley tomorrow. it will create a gap forjazri near‘s site. chelsea play tomorrow, they haven't even played and they haven't lost any round. liverpool losing ground. chelsea playing hull tomorrow. and now a goalfor spurs, dele chelsea playing hull tomorrow. and now a goal for spurs, dele alli chelsea playing hull tomorrow. and now a goalfor spurs, dele alli has just scored. we don't know how that will turn out that if manchester city can hold on it would be a very good victory. we will keep you
6:46 pm

6:49 pm
the pressure on the dane. her powerful display matched with quality and precision. after back—to—back breaks of serve early in the second she was in full control, seemingly racing into the last 16. despite her rapid progress konta still had the presence of mind to pause, think and deliver the sublime. confident, powerful yet controlled display was finished off by forcing wozniacki into an error. could konta be sprinting to her first grand slam title, just four matches stand in her way. konta in on course to meet the six—time champion serena williams in a potential quarter—final. earlier williams eased past fellow american nicole gibbs 6—1, 6—3. rafael nadal beat teenager alexander zverev, in a gripping match to reach the fourth round.

6:55 pm
weightlifter on the rise in the sport that is under threatlj weightlifter on the rise in the sport that is under threat. i was in the gym at the time when i got the phone call. i was struggling through my session and i just phone call. i was struggling through my session and ijust managed to get an extra ten reps out of what i was doing through anger. it is good to have a massive effect. sarah is one half of great britain's power couple alongside her partnerjack 0liver. brilliant stuff from jack 0liver. the men's team lost their funding three years. people always say, how do you give physio, even though you might be the best the country, on the world stage, you don't get a penny. sarah is now a full-time athlete but if her funding is cut that will affect her chances of becoming the first british woman to win an olympic weightlifting medal. will be a tricky one to see where it comes from. i am qualified as a pe teacher but at the minute i'm teaching because it affects my training. a little bit in limbo at
6:56 pm
the minute. being unpredictable does not faze sarah, with or without funding when she's not in the gym she competes for a different type of crown, beauty pageants. she won miss leeds in 2012. people always say i don't look like a weightlifter so it is quite good to break both of those serotypes and get a bit more positive body image into pageants are things like that. british weightlifting is open for a positive result from their appeal against the cuts for tokyo. the women have a really good case because of what they have achieved in the past few years. unfortunately not holding out much hope. we will potentially look for a job and potentially go back to working full—time as a teacher again. they now have an anxious wait before uk sport announces its decision next month. 0nce bought not lacking money is football, current score at the etihad is still the one. we will be back to talk about bad at 7:30pm.
