hello and welcome to sportsday. felipe anderson scores twice for west ham as they beat southampton to move 9th in the premier league. arsenal manager unai emery is charged by the fa after kicking a bottle that hit a fan in the gunners 1—1 draw against brighton. and belgium's dimitri van den bergh had the moves but how did he fare in his pdc world darts championship match? we'll tell you shortly... hello and welcome to sportsday. just the one game in the premier league today to round off the christmas fixtures. felipe anderson starred as west ham united moved up three places to 9th — coming from behind to win 2—1 at southampton. watching the drama unfold was austin halewood.

won the battle for the title may be fought further north, at the halfway point of the season there is renewed optimism on the south coast. after one win from their first 16, under ralph hasenhuttl, southampton have w011 ralph hasenhuttl, southampton have won their last two, the austrian bringing precision and paste to the side. clearfrom the bringing precision and paste to the side. clear from the start. bringing precision and paste to the side. clearfrom the start. but bringing precision and paste to the side. clear from the start. but with four wins already this season, chances for four wins already this season, cha nces for west four wins already this season, chances for west ham were always going to come. theyjust needed to ta ke going to come. theyjust needed to take them. lucas perez the man who should have done better. but the opportunities were coming and after the break, southampton found themselves in a position that was too good to waste. nathan redmond played onside, the ball eventually finding its way in. after waiting 15 minutes, two later, st mary's was treated to another, this much better, just not the one they

wanted. felipe anderson with a rocket from outside the box and if you thought that was good, his second was not bad either. an eighth goal of the season for the brazilian, their most expensive player showing his worth. for southampton, a reminder that not all problems are solved overnight. while the hammers break into the top ten. i think that tonight we played a very good game from the beginning, it was high pace and we did not allow southampton to reach our box. they created one chance and most of the game was played on the opposite side. unfortunately we started by one goal down. but after that we competed with the second. the way we lost was a little bit too easy, i think. we did not play such a good game today, i think. a lot of players are on a high level this

evening but we had the chance to win and it is disappointing because we did not make a good game. although we could win. to give it away so easily like today, you don't deserve to. arsenal manager unai emery has been charged by the fa for kicking a bottle that hit a fan during their 1—1 draw at brighton on boxing day. the fa say the incident amounts to improper conduct. the bottle struck a brighton supporter towards the end of the match and the spaniard went to apologise immediately and then again at full time. earlier today — before he was charged — emery explained what happened. i kicked the bottle in frustration but not towards a supporter, i kicked for me and it was going to the supporter and i said my apologies. and he was happy to hear my apologies. but i kicked the bottle because it was near me but

not with this intention. tottenham manager mauricio pochettino has said his side need to be consistent if they're to challenge for the premier league title this season. spurs have scored 11 goals in their last two matches and moved second ahead of manchester city after the boxing day fixtures. they're still six points adrift of liverpool though and the argentine isn't getting carried away. we need to show our self, we need to show everyone that we can be a real contender, being consistent during the whole season. we are there because we have the belief and because we are working so hard. of course we have the quality, it is difficult to be in the position we are today, but still we are a question mark, we will see if we are capable during the whole season to be consistent like in the first half of the season. inter milan have been ordered to play two matches behind closed doors after napoli defender kalidou koulibaly was racially abused yesterday during a match the san siro. the club is considering whether to appeal and

the mayor of milan — giuseppe sala — has since apologised, calling the abuse ‘a disgrace'. napoli head coach carlo ancelotti revealed they tried to have the game suspended. the former chelsea manager says they asked three times for the match to be stopped due to the chanting aimed at the senegalese international, who was sent off with 9 minutes to go. he said the player was put on edge by the crowd's behaviour during their 1—0 defeat. translation: the state of mind of one player was affected by racism, and that is very bad. we are doing a campaign on this and i think everybody is involved, the federation, the referees. we would like to know how many times we will have to complain before a match will be halted. and next time, if they won't answer us, then we will stop the match ourselves. this happened on the same day that ancelotti's former club chelsea again saw alleged anti—semitic abuse levelled at their london rivals tottenham. it comes in the same month that chelsea fans were singled out on an away trip to hungarian side vidi in the europa league.

blues manager mauricio sarri says it's stupid people who are to blame. first of all, i want to speak firstly with my player. second, i don't want to generalise. because for the 99 cases, percent, ourfans are really very good and wonderful. and in every community i think there are some stupids. and so all together, we have to fight against the stupid people. but not against the chelsea fan. india hold the upper hand heading into day 3 of the third test against australia in melbourne around an hourfrom now after a 170—run stand between cheteshwar pujara and captain virat kohli. the tourists resumed day 2 on 215 for 2 — pujara hit 106, while kohli added 82 to maintain their

control of the match. however the australians fought back to take 5 wickets after lunch before india declared on 443—7. australia faced six overs before the close and made 8 runs without loss although aaron finch was unlucky this didn't carry to the slip cordon. the four match series is currently tied at 1—1. it is still game on, every bat really well and bowl again and put in the under pressure, i think there is absolutely, i think all three results are on the table, 100%. india, australia and a draw, and it is hard to say after two days but we are confident that we can bat very well in the first innings and put india under pressure again. time now to round up some of the day's other sports stories... the favourite elegant escape has won

the welsh grand national at chepstow, handing trainer colin tizzard a second success in three years. the 3—1 shot, ridden byjockey tom o'brien, fought off a late charge from ramsees de tieay to win by over a length. serena williams lost to sister venus on her return to the court in an exhibition match in abu dhabi. the former world number one was playing for the first time since she lost a controversial us open final to japan's naomi osaka in september. the exhibition match is part of the 37—year—old's build—up for the australian open. the two—time champion gary anderson survived a big scare to reach the quarter—finals of the pdc world darts championship. he came from 2 sets down to beat england's chris dobey 4 sets to 3 at alexandra palace. and talking of darts, let's stay with the pdc world championship because alexandra palace was treated to some wonderful moves as belgium's dimitri van den bergh stepped up to the oche to face england's luke humphries

in the third round. unfortunately for van den bergh, he didn't get a chance to strut his stuff when walking off the stage as he was comprehensively beaten 4 sets to 1 by humphries — but i'm sure there's an award there somewehere and that he had the time of his life. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment — the papers. you old charmer! hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are benedicte paviot, the uk correspondent for france 2a and president of the foreign press association. and anna isaac, who's the economics correspondent at the telegraph. thank you both forjoining us and i hope you have been enjoying the yuletide season. good to have a breakaway from the mince pies, the pork pies, whatever. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times reports on the £3 billion sale of gatwick to a french infrastructure group — despite last week's havoc induced by drone sighting. the i sasteremy corbyn has told them the commons should be recalled early — as soon as next week — to vote on the prime minister's brexit plan. the telegraph reports on comments by the former head of home office immigration enforcement, who says the uk must stop rescuing and landing migrants that attempt to cross the english channel or the uk risks what they call a humanitarian crisis. the daily mail says landlines are to be installed in cells in prisons across england as part of a radical plan by david gauke to cut reoffending. and in the star they say "it's the end of winter" —

no, it's not a weather story — the paper says the government is considering ditching daylight savings time! on to the express, where they say the commissionerfor the eu's budget has warned the european union must be prepared for the uk to leave without paying all the money agreed in the "divorce settlement". the times says ministers are allowing the uk to appear a "soft touch" for migrants crossing the channel because they're so distracted by brexit to ensure the border is properly policed. the guardian also leads on a border—related story — but they say border officials are struggling to stop a rising tide of illegal firearms entering the uk. we will make a start with the telegraph. headline, sent back channel migrants or risk tragedy. former immigration chief suggesting this. it is a beginning on uk territory to start to see some of

the effects we have seen in italy and a much smaller scale but it is starting to raise the spectre that we will start as see those images that we really remember, though shocking images of young children being drowned and fined one beaches. people using dinghies to cross from france to the uk, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. it is very hazardous. and people are concerned that if we set up effective rescue missions like in the mediterranean then it might act as an encouragement rather than a deterrent, helpful intervention, it might encourage greater volumes. the jury might encourage greater volumes. the jury is out on that in terms of the statistics but that is the concern. because the channel is so busy and evenin because the channel is so busy and even in the winter it is very cold and the traffic is enormous. you don't want to be the country that does not rescue people and can see

multiple drownings? what we are witnessing is 300 people being rescued from the channel, since the start of november. already, 180 making it to britain seeking asylum and as you said, there is a concern that although the numbers are very different, what the daily telegraph refers to is what is happening is the smugglers are encouraging people to pay a lot of money to go on what are very flimsy boats, totally inadequate and often without a life jacket and there are some children. we have not had, that we know of, any deaths yet but what happens then? and those boats are being used asa then? and those boats are being used as a taxi service. encouraging more crossings. what is happening is the arm making it almost halfway across and then they are being picked up either from the french side and buy some of the cutters, five cutters patrolling the kent coast, says the

border force, and sajid javid suggests that one of the cutters in the mediterranean dealing with the huge crisis of people coming on boats across africa trying to get into the eu might be called back. no decision has been made and the telegraph is saying or what david wood, the civil servant, is saying is these immigrants should be sent back straightaway to france and indeed there is a part in the agreement that when you seek asylum, it isa agreement that when you seek asylum, it is a first country to get you. what is not often talked about here is why come to britain? one of the main reasons is that in france you must have at all times your id or new i’ows must have at all times your id or new rows here they can get into this country and you don't have to have your identity papers all the time and they can melt into the black economy much more easily. and they are coming because there is still

this perception, a lot of them speak english, by the way, that they can come and they can survive here. there has also been a spike in the number is trying to get across. the suggestion being that there is concern that our borders will be very different after brexit? what we are seeing here is for a long time we have heard reports about the calaisjungle in we have heard reports about the calais jungle in various guises that has existed for almost decades, i believe, and what has happened is for a long time we have outsourced a lot of our border control to france in terms of people movement, goods, within the whole eu umbrella. and we're not having to
