7:33 pm
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 0'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. it has been a busy day. 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.
7:34 pm
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 to jose mourinho‘s frustration 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
7:35 pm
have beaten man united. and as i said, this is for sure one of the proudest moments in my management career so far. interesting result and great comments from both managers. what else has been happening in the premier league? john bennettjoins me. the two managers with contrasting emotions. jose mourinho saying his team didn't have the same determination and intensity that huddersfield brought to the game. ander herrera said that as well. he said their attitude was poon as well. he said their attitude was poor, their desire was poor. jose mourinho was listening to that interview and he called it very concerning. huddersfield getting their first league concerning. huddersfield getting theirfirst league win concerning. huddersfield getting their first league win over manchester united since 1952. the queen had only been on the throne for a month. an historic win. they defended so poorly against the team that haven't scored in the last six games. lindelof came onjones, who
7:36 pm
was injured. he had a shocker. there was injured. he had a shocker. there was no real reaction in the second half despite anthony martial getting a goal back. very concerning four manchester united. they will be even more concerned. manchester city keep on going. 3—0 at home to burnley? burnley made them work hard. they took the lead in the 30th minute with a controversial penalty. sean dyche not happy. he thought it was a dive. it wasn't until the 73rd minute that 0tamendi scored and then leroy sane scored. city looking unstoppable. 25 goals in seven home games, 20 in four unstoppable. 25 goals in seven home games, 20 infour games. 11 successive wins. pep all is going so well. 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
7:37 pm
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. you have to get your shape right, you have to use it wisely. the moments you do have, you have to get right. a 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. stay right there. in a few seconds we will talk about chelsea.
7:38 pm
well, in the day's early kick—off, defending champions chelsea were looking to respond to a run of three games without a win as they hosted high—flying watford. and they did respond, with a a—2 win — but things didn't go all their own way, as adam wild 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 big money at chelsea. this was his moment.
7:39 pm
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 lot of confidence. they were more up than us. a good reaction in the moment. not simple for us. foi’ many reasons. it is our third game in seven days. it is not simple for us at this moment. what about in south wales, the
7:40 pm
liberty stadium? what about in south wales, the liberty stadium ? swansea what about in south wales, the liberty stadium? swansea city losing at home to leicester city? leicester city getting a whim in their first game with michael appleton as ca reta ker game with michael appleton as caretaker manager. —— getting a win. leicester city played really well. he went back to basics. 0kazaki came in. it was unknown goal that gave leicester the lead. reared maryse involved in both goals. —— riyadh marries. leicester should have won buy more of a margin. for swansea, it is worrying. 0ne buy more of a margin. for swansea, it is worrying. one win in six. leicester city will continue their energy real search. michael appleton please with the reaction. 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 we played very well. yeah, delighted how they stuck at it. once they pulled a goal back,
7:41 pm
it could have been difficult. from one man hoping to get himself a full—time premier league job to one who seems to be linked with all of them at the moment. rafa benitez and newcastle doing very well. a win over crystal palace? newcastle into sixth. it was a poor game. not a shot on target until the final 20 minutes. crystal palace will feel very u nfortu nate minutes. crystal palace will feel very unfortunate they didn't at least get a point. it was the substitute who was the hero, a header in the 86th minute. a very tight game. the palace four points adrift at the bottom of the table. a com pletely adrift at the bottom of the table. a completely different story for newcastle. we have a very clear idea that we have to approach every game. 0ne 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.
7:42 pm
it is the next game and try to get three points. in the last couple of matches the performances have merited 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. palace bottom of the premier league. the two other teams in the bottom three met today. bournemouth getting a win away at stoke city. thanks to an excellent first—half performance. they were two ahead in the first 20 minutes and bravely defended as
7:43 pm
stoke piled forward. jill scott a goal back for stoke. stoke's form is really worrying. just one win in eight. mark hughes was talking about how patient the owners are stoke. bournemouth with a much needed win. their first away win this season. we will hear from mark hughes their first away win this season. we will hearfrom mark hughes in a moment, first eddie howe. 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. 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 our own making in terms that we didn't deal in the first half with a couple of moments. an easy penalty we gave away
7:44 pm
when we should stay on our feet. difficult with the conditions. clearly it was the same for both teams. they made better use of it in the first half. they got a two—goal lead with the wind at their backs. it was always going to be difficult. here are the results in full. 0ne games still to go through. another classic at southampton but they got a much—needed home win. the winner was a classic. this is a contender for a goal of the season. it is my goal of the season so far. boufal has not really shown what he can do ina has not really shown what he can do in a southampton shirt. pictured up in his own half. goes past two players, and a lovely finish. signed from lille. he signed last season. we have to see it again. turns
7:45 pm
inside his own half, passed one defender. here is with the defenders collide. still a lot of work to do. lovely finish into the bottom corner. great goal. sad to see craig dawson going off injured after that. it was a lovely goal and a much—needed win. it was a lovely goal and a much-needed win. before that it had only been one win in ten. a bit of pressure off for the manager. let's see the table. manchester city now five points clear. plus 28 goal difference. manchester united losing ground after the draw with liverpool and today's defeat. newcastle in sixth. good for them. and today's defeat. newcastle in sixth. good forthem. huddersfield town move near the top half of the table. they are in 11th. southampton now ten. stoke city down in 18th. bad for them. leicester in 1ath.
7:46 pm
now ten. stoke city down in 18th. bad for them. leicester in iath.l bigjump bad for them. leicester in iath.l big jump for them. stoke city and west ham in trouble. and everton need a win tomorrow. we can see sunday's games. it will be an interesting day. everton against arsenal and tottenham against liverpool. tottenham if they win the gold level with manchester united. very good day football. we will take you through some of the details tomorrow on sportsday. that is it for now. thanks. in the championship, wolves remain top of the table after a 3—2 win over preston. it was a nervous finish though at molineux — they were leading 3—0 until preston mounted a revival. m illwa ll millwall beat birmingham city 2—0 at the den in the late game. collins scored an own goal straight after half—time. millwall made it back to. elsewhere, aston villa's 2—1win over fulham puts them fifth in the table —
7:47 pm
john terry with his first goal for villa today. barnsley were beaten 1—0 at home by hull. it was level between bolton and queens park rangers, and brentford and sunderland. leeds united's 3—0 win at bristol city takes them up to fourth. derby beat sheffield wednesday 2—0. cardiff are second —they won 1—0 at middlesbrough. forest moved to the top half with a 2—0 win over burton. sheffield united consolidated third place with a 2—1 win over reading. and it's wolves who stay top of the table, hanging on for a 3—2 win over preston. it's semi finals weekend in the scottish league cup, and holders celtic have made it to next month's showpiece, thanks to a a—2 win over hibernian. it was watched at hampden park by chris mclaughlin. 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.
7:48 pm
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 0llie 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. three matches in the scottish premiership. there was some international
7:49 pm
football today, where liverpool striker rhian brewster scored a hat—tick to send england's youngsters to the semi—finals of the under 17s world cup in india.. they were facing the united states, and having got through the last round on penalties, england made light work this time around. rhian brewster's double gave them a healthy lead after just 1a minutes. morgan gibbs—white made it three after the break, before a late us consolation. brewster then completed his hat—tick from the penalty spot in stoppage time to cap off a comfortable win. they'll face brazil or germany next. lewis hamilton can become the world champion for the fourth time this weekend. he is looking like the man to beat at the united states grand prix. he set the pace yesterday and
7:50 pm
carried that form into final practice and it wasn'tjust 0'brien who was left smiling today, as the award for britain's champion jockey was officially handed out at ascot. and it went to silvestre de sousa. quite an achievement, given that when the boy from brazil, first came to europe, he couldn't speak, a word of english. joe wilson went to meet him. 7:30am in newmarket, this is britain's championjockey. his story belongs to the world. silvestre de sousa's journey is unique.
7:51 pm
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
7:52 pm
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. this is the moment when de sousa was formally crowned as champion jockey formally crowned as champion jockey for the second time, as the climax of the flat racing season. it's the second set of group matches in the rugby champions cup. glasgow's hopes of making it to the knockout stages already hang by a thread, after a second successive defeat —
7:53 pm
this time, at the hands of leinster. the warriors actually 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 remain without a point at the bottom of pool 3. but it was another defeat for northampton saints after they lost 2a—7 against clermont auvergne in france. england captain dylan hartley was controversially sin—binned in the first half, allowing the french side to capitalise with their exrta player. northampton saints remain bottom of their group. saracens have an early lead against ospreys. eight minutes gone. leicester tigers put seven tries past french side castres. the tigers earned a bonus point before half—time. three more tries in the second half, including that one from
