and hugh woozencroft. the headlines this evening: the terriers take a bite out of manchester united's title hopes in the premier league. chelsea respond to their lull with a much needed win over watford. it's now 60 games without a domestic defeat for celtic as they reach the scottish league cup final. also coming up on sportsday, aidan o'brien equals the record for top—level wins in a flat racing year — hydrangea won the fillies and mares stake on british champions day at ascot. and will this be the weekend lewis hamilton secures a fourth formula one world title? we'll have the latest ahead of the united states grand prix. plenty to get through, but we're going to start

with the premier league. david wagner has desribed it as a great day for "little huddersfield" after they beat second placed manchester united. despite a late scramble from united, it was david wagner and huddersfield that came away with the points after a 2—1win over united, much to jose mourinho's frustraion the best team won. simple. and are you giving huddersfield credit as well as maybe disappointment at your team's performance? of course i have to give them credit. at least i give them the credit to have a different attitude, a different desire, a different motivation to what we had. they deserve. i think everyone at this stadium could feel in the first couple of minutes that one team wants to compete and one team wants to be aggressive and one team was ready to give absolutely everything. another team was not ready for that. the best team won. we said if this is our moment,

we have to be there and grab it with both hands. this is exactly what the players did. this is a very, very special moment for this football club. small huddersfield town have beaten man united. and as i said, this is for sure one of the proudest moments in my management career so far. great result for huddersfield. an interesting day all round. now the rest of the results. you saw the contrasting emotions with the managers. jose mourinho not happy? no. after he did the tv interviews he spoke about an interviews he spoke about an interview that ander herrera did when he talked about the desire and attitude not been good enough for manchester united. jose mourinho is not happy about that at all. we have to give massive credit to

huddersfield. theirfirst to give massive credit to huddersfield. their first league win over manchester united since 1952. the queen had only been on the throne for a month. a really significant win. manchester united we re significant win. manchester united were really poor. they went to behind so early. they never really recovered. victor lindelof‘s performance under the microscope. he was at fault for the second goal. manchester united have lost ground with that result. the draw with liverpool in their previous match. and chester city still beating burnley 3—0. —— manchester city. yes, sergio aguero equalling the all—time manchester city goal—scoring record from the penalty spot. sean dyche claimed bernardo silva dived. burnley worked hard after that. manchester city made the points safe in the 73rd minute. 25

goals in seven home games. 20 goals infour goals in seven home games. 20 goals in four premier league games. 11 successive wins. pep guardiola delighted. in the first half we were slow. it is not easy after the champions league. after the first five minutes in the second half, when they made crosses and throw ins and corners, we take possession and took the game. the second half was amazing, how good we played. a lot of control, attack at the right moment. a lot of passes to try to disorganised their defensive system. after the second one and the third, the game was over. they are a fantastic side and they are playing with confidence. you know it is going to be a tough day. you have to get everything right. the moments you do have, you have to get right. few of the refereeing decisions got away from us. that is not new. the shape of the team was

generally good. these are a top—class side and played some really good stuff. it makes a tough afternoon. but we stuck at it but not enough today. another assist for a kevin de bruyne in that. in the early kick—off, defending champions chelsea were looking to respond to a run of three games without a win in all competitions. they holstered high—flying watford and responded with a 11—2 win. things didn't go all the runway as adam wilde reports. around stamford bridge a rather unfamiliar discontent. chelsea, defending champions, but this season seeming more challenging. they say the best form of defence is attack. pedro put them ahead. a goal to get everybody feeling the passion again. these are fine margins. watford looking a fine team. doucoure spotted a narrow gap to squeeze it through. the game opened up. watford finding some space. richarlison had to make more of it. for him, redemption was swift. his pass found a way through.

pereyra scored. watford have been the surprise team in the premier league this season. the biggest impact on this match was perhaps a surprise, too. batshuayi has failed to convince since arriving for a big—money at chelsea. this was his moment. that discontent at last lifting around stamford bridge. azpilicueta drowning it out. chelsea back in front. their manager back on top. the final word belonged to batshuayi. if they were a team under pressure, he has relieved it. just a little. to come back, it wasn't easy against a very good team, a strong team with a very good team, a strong team with a lot of confidence. they were more up a lot of confidence. they were more up than us. a good reaction in the moment. not simple for us. for many

reasons. it is our third game in seven days. it is not simple for us at this moment. i'm never happy when we lose game. never. of course i understand the question. it's really unfair result. we didn't deserve this result. even one us is not fair. ithink this result. even one us is not fair. i think we deserved more than one point and we finish the game with a zero. it is football. we know. sta mford stamford bridge relieved? yes, it would've been premier league defeats ina row would've been premier league defeats in a row if watford had held on. the first time that would have happened since the mourinho season, the season since the mourinho season, the season he was sacked. a significant win for chelsea. significantly to

make changes that influenced the game. michy batshuayi coming on and scoring, seven goals this season. time to talk about leicester. big changes there this week with craig shakespeare sacked. they were away at swansea. their second win of the season. yes, a 2-1 win. they took a 2-0 season. yes, a 2-1 win. they took a 2—0 lead. and on goalfrom fernandez. okazaki got the second. alfie mawson got one back for swa nsea. ca reta ker alfie mawson got one back for swansea. caretaker manager michael appleton broad okazaki back in. riyad mahrez was in great form. he was involved in both goals. a very good win for leicester. for swansea it is worrying. one when in six. here is the leicester caretaker boss. getting the first goal was massive. that is the second time we have done of this year. that has been the two wins. that was

important. we started really well. we haven't particularly started a few of the games are played very well. yeah, delighted how they stuck added. once they pulled a goal back, it could have been difficult. the performance in the first—half lead or smackdown. nothing happened in the game that we didn't think was coming. we prepared well. there is a difference between the preparation and the application. rafa benitez, we talk about some the big names in terms of management. he is not a one of the top six clubs but he is doing very well. newcastle united beating crystal palace? yes, a really good win, a really poor game. no shot on target until the final 20 minutes. the winner came in the 86th minute. crystal palace will

feel very unfortunate to have lost. they were looking to build on the win against chelsea. they are into sixth, newcastle. what a season they are having. palace four points adrift at the bottom. rafa benitez will be pleased. we have a very clear idea that we have to approach it. one game at a time and see where we are. at the moment we are in a good position. hopefully we are going to stay there for a while. we're not thinking about this is the target. it is the next game and try to get three points. in the last couple of matches the performance have merited as some sort of result. we got the one last week, we didn't this week. we have to keep plugging away, keep working at it. and to make certain that every game we play we reach this level of performance. it is not going to happen week after week that you are unlucky. and that you don't get what you deserve. more often you

do get what you deserve in a game of football. i don't think we did today. but maybe we'll be lucky in the future and get something we don't deserve. newcastle united making their home ground a fortress this season. not true of stoke city. they were beaten 2-1 true of stoke city. they were beaten 2—1 by bournemouth at home? true of stoke city. they were beaten 2-1 by bournemouth at home? yes, worrying times for stoke. bournemouth had an excellent first half. they were two ahead within 90 minutes. andrew surman and stanislas. stoke fought back. diouf got one back. bournemouth did well to hang on. stoke with eight points from nine games. they are in the bottom three. worrying times for them, with managers under pressure everywhere. here is the reaction. it feels a lot better than not winning, of course. for us the challenge was a big one today. we knew the importance of the points. we knew we did not want to

become detached from the teams above us. become detached from the teams above us. for various become detached from the teams above us. for various reasons become detached from the teams above us. for various reasons it was massive. two contrasting halves. in the first half we created chances, looked fluid. the second half we knew it would be difficult with the weather. we dug in. ? different sides of our game. it shows we have the tools if we need them. today was a little bit of a wrong making in terms that we didn't deal in the first half with a couple of moments. an easy penalty we gave away when we should stay on her feet. difficult with conditions. clearly it was the same for both teams. they made better use of it in the first half. they got it to goal lead with the wind at their backs. it was or was good be difficult. sojohn, one it was or was good be difficult. so john, one game it was or was good be difficult. sojohn, one game going on at the moment, southampton hosting west brom. yes it is 0-0. southampton with one win in ten at st mary ‘s.

west brom have not had a shot on target. ryan bertrand with the free kick. hitting the post. very close. here is another chance for southampton. yoshida with the header. a good save from ben foster. they are having a goalkeeping crisis, west brom. ben foster and boaz myhill carrying injuries. foster just about fit enough to start. let's look at today's results in full. huddersfield will take all of the headlines tomorrow. the game still going on at the bottom. southampton and west brom. about 25 minutes left. here is the premier league table. bad news for manchester united fans. manchester city now five points clear. newcastle united into sixth. it makes good reading for them. bad

reading for stoke city fans. now in the relegation zone. 18th place. in 14th place, leicester city. yes, a big jump. west ham in real trouble. still no news about slaven bilic‘s future. some big games on sunday. they will have a real effect on the top of the table. and perhaps the bottom as well. ronald koeman under real pressure for everton. tottenham could go level on points with manchester united if they beat liverpool. it really is a super sunday. coverage on bbc radio five live. thank you for that. that is the premier league all done with. more football to come. wolves top of the championship. they have been there for a week and they are still there for a week and they are still there after a win over preston. it was a nervous finish. they were leading 3—0 until preston manning

today revival. birmingham city are away at millwall. it is millwall who have had —— and have the lead. and own goal after half—time. around half an hour still to go. aston villa's win over fulham puts them fifth. john terry with his first goalfor fifth. john terry with his first goal for villa. leeds united move into fourth. cardiff are second. sheffield united are third. and wolves stay top of the table with that win over preston. it is semi finals weekend in the

scottish league cup. celtic have made it to next month's showpiece. they beat hibernian 4—2. it was watched by chris maclachlan. celtic were held to a draw by hibs a few weeks ago, so the easter road side came here with hope. celtic always managed to find a way. mikael lustig got the first after some questionable defending. even at that stage the writing was on the wall. then the swede made it two. ross laidlaw was culpable. into the second half, a lifeline for hibs and a penalty that probably shouldn't have been a penalty. boyata on boyle. anthony stokes turned a gift into a goal. moussa dembele came off the bench and put distance between the teams. 3-1. 19—year—old ollie shaw provided another lifeline for hibs. with minutes remaining dembele secured his double. 60 games now unbeaten for celtic under brendan rodgers. they will face either

rangers or motherwell who play here tomorrow. to get four goals was absolutely brilliant. i tip my hat to them. it could have been a banana skin for us today. i thought we dealt with it really well. it's our third final in a year. there will be some regrets about today. we left everything out there. that pleases me. they were just a bit better in certain areas, which you would expect anyway. away from the scottish league cup, let's look at the scottish premiership results. three matches today. there was some international

football today. rhiannon brewster scored a hat—trick to send england's youngsters to the semifinals of the under 17 world cup in india. they got through the last round on penalties. england made light work this time around. brewster gave them a healthy lead after 1a minutes. they made it three after the break before a late united states consolation. brewster completed his hat—trick from the penalty spot in stoppage time to capp a good win. they face brazil or germany next. lewis hamilton can become the world champion for the fourth time this weekend and he is certainly looking like the man to beat at the us grand prix. the championship leader set the pace yesterday and carried that form into the final practice in austin today with a new track record. hamilton finished just under

a tent of a second ahead of his main rival, sebastian vettel. there looks little to separate both mercedes and ferrari cars. an intriguing qualifying session gets underway at 10pm. the richest race day in the country, british champions day, has provided some excellent stories. aiden o'brien has equalled the record for top—level wins in a flat racing year. hydrangea won the fillies and mares stake. it wasn'tjust brian who was left smiling today. the award for britain's champion jockey handed out at ascot and it went to silvestre de sousa. quite an achievement because when he came to britain and couldn't speak a word of english. he also won in 2015. he metjoe wilson. 7:30am in newmarket, this is britain's championjockey. his story belongs to the world. silvestre de sousa's

journey is unique. he shows me pictures of his triumphs in india. he first sat on a horse on the family farm in brazil. at 16, someone in sao paulo told him he looked like a jockey. that is how it all began. when i came to ireland i couldn't speak a word of english. there was a lot of dedication. it is not easy to be a champion. and when you are foreign and from a different country, even harder. the chances is less. you have to make the chances come to you. de sousa has ridden over 800 times this season. far more than any of his rivals. the hardest working jockey in the world, he admits, is him. relaxation comes with frankie, the ever present family sausage dog, named after frankie dettori, chiefly for his energy.

there is a constant battle to be top dog at the de sousa home. determination is his biggest asset. i have achieved 90% more than i thought. my dream was to come to europe and have one ride and have a feel of the race. just watch a race. here i am today. where he is today is champion jockey for the second time. de sousa is an institution here. next destination, a couple of weeks' rest back in brazil. british winters are an acquired taste. joe wilson, bbc news, newmarket. this was the moment de sousa was crowned as britain's champion jockey for the second time at the climax of the flat racing season at ascot. he didn't have a ride today but he picked up a rather nice piece of silverware. it is the second set of

group matches in the rugby champions cup. glasgow's hopes of making it to the knockout stages hang by a thread after a second successive defeat, this time to leinster. the warriors took an early lead but the dominant lei nster took an early lead but the dominant leinster pack proved too much in the end. this final try ensuring the irish side left with a bonus point win. glasgow are at the bottom of their pool. leicester tigers are thrashing castro 54—10 at welford road. the tigers earn themselves a bonus point before half—time with that try. three more tries in the second half has taken their tally to seven with 20 minutes remaining. there was another defeat for northampton saints as they lost 24—7 to clermont avergne in france. dylan hartley controversially sin binned in the first half. that allowed the french side to capitalise with the extra player. saints remain bottom of their group as well. cricket now

and the women's ashes gets underway in the early hours of the morning. the competition begins with the first of 31 day internationals. reigning world champions england are looking to regain the ashes which they lost on home soil two years ago. henry moran is looking ahead. it is most three months since england so memorably lifted the world cup trophy on an overcast day at lord's. their next assignment, the small matter of the england —— of the ashes in brisbane. the weather and the build—up has been less sunshine state, more resembling a bleak wintry day back on. training has largely been indoors. both teams frustrated by a lack of time in the middle. australia are a side wounded, knocked off top spot in the rankings by england and without any icc silverware. some fighting talk in interviews from alyssa healy has

ramped up interest in the series. our australia looking to unsettling that? here is their captain. i don't mind her coming out and doing those sorts of things. we are just hoping our game will do the talking. the message leading the official social media campaign in australia is a clear one. the task of beating england will be easy. they have a tea m england will be easy. they have a team of world champions, including tammy beaumont. the world cup was amazing. it is a once—in—a—lifetime thing. we have to back it up with coming out here and taking on australia in austria to win the women's ashes is probably the next highest chines after the world cup. it will be tough. australia play really good ticket —— cricket in the wrong country. i hope i can put some performances in for the team and we ta ke performances in for the team and we take the ashes home. the weather may not have been good in the past week but the forecast is good for the first odi tomorrow. england going

into this series can turn 2017, the year they became world champions, from being a memorable year into perhaps the greatest ever. henry moran, brisbane. you can follow the series across the bbc. it all starts tonight. looking forward to it. that is it from sportsday. plenty more again at 7:40pm. goodbye for now. hello there. storm brian has been making its presence felt across southern and western parts of the british isles, particularly stormy skies overhead for this weather watcher in south wales. the view

from space quite dramatic. you can see this swirl of cloud working its way eastwards so far today. the strongest winds have been to the south of the low pressure. we will continue to see strong winds in southern areas through the evening. we will also see the winds picking up we will also see the winds picking up in north wales, north—west england, northern ireland and south—west scotland. if you are heading out for the evening, the black winged arrows show where the strongest gusts are. a lot of showers piling in from the west. some of them heavy. parts of wales, north—west england, could see localised service is used. the winds picking up fearne northern ireland. as we had through the night, we keep the strong winds in the west. heavy

downpours of rain working in. the continued risk of surface water issues. it won't be a particularly mild night either. into sunday, things are going to slowly but surely calm down. the area of low pressure drifting off to the north sea. the isobars opening out a little bit. winds will gradually turn lighter. we start with a lot of cloud and some outbreaks of rain. that should break up to reveal spells of sunshine. a scattering of showers in the west. it won't feel particularly warm either. 12 to 1a degrees. looking further ahead into monday, it looks like we will see some outbreaks of rain splashing in from the west. light and patchy, drizzly rain, with misty and murky conditions. rain on the south coast as well. they should be sunshine in northern ireland. 13 to 16 degrees. for the week ahead things looking

mixed. there will be spells of rain and at times it will be breezy. but by the end of the week, parts of the south looked like warming up. some spots could get into the 20s. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 7pm: demonstrations break—out in barcelona after spain's prime minister outlines plans to remove catalonia's leaders and take control. the world health organisation comes under fire after appointing president mugabe — as a good will ambassador. raising speed limits to lower heart rates — motorists could soon drive faster through motorway roadworks in england to reduce congestion. president trump says he'll allow the scheduled release of classified documents about presidentjohn f. kennedy's assassination — unless he receives grounds not to. also this hour — storm brian hits the uk — but luckily fails to live up to predictions. gusts of over 70mph were recorded this morning — some areas have been hit by power

cuts and flooding. and a big shock in the premier league — as newly promoted huddersfield beat manchester united for the first time in 65 years.
