in the end arrizablaga wasn't the hero, as city won on spot—kicks to win what could be the first of four trophies this season. from wembley stadium, here's david ornstein. it was two weeks ago to the very day that manchester city thrashed city 6-0 that manchester city thrashed city 6—0 in the leg and came into the match as they favourites. they have been beating allcomers, really. the main bulk of the match was not much to write home about. a couple of chances are for both sides, a fairly even chances are for both sides, a fairly eve n co ntest chances are for both sides, a fairly even contest with manchester city marginally better. an extraordinary incident between the coach and his goalkeeper kepa arriza balaga. incident between the coach and his

goalkeeper kepa arrizabalaga. sarri wa nted goalkeeper kepa arrizabalaga. sarri wanted to bring on the former manchester city goalkeeper ca ballero, manchester city goalkeeper caballero, a penalty kick expert. kepa arrizabalaga caballero, a penalty kick expert. kepa arriza balaga reactor, caballero, a penalty kick expert. kepa arrizabalaga reactor, storming down the tunnel before coming back at full time. the pair would not speak to each other and had to be separated. penalties ends you do and kepa arrizabalaga separated. penalties ends you do and kepa arriza balaga was separated. penalties ends you do and kepa arrizabalaga was not a key protagonists. he saved a penalty but to mrs proved costly. and finally, the winning penalty as manchester city retraining a trophy for the first time in their history and one of the first of what could be a precedent had four trophies this season. the penalty is family, of course. we won after

injuries we had in this game. winning the game is important for the next game but this competition... this competition demanding a lot, and we are going to suffer now for the next competition, for the cup, for the champions league and the premier league so, but, of course, winning the title, we will help us for our loot and go—forward. i understood that he had a cramp and so i didn't want the goalkeeper to go to the penalties in that physical condition. i realised the situation only after three or four minutes after the doctor arrived again to the bench. in the meantime, i wanted caballero on the pitch and the goalkeeper wanted only to letm e know and the goalkeeper wanted only to let me know that he was in condition to go to the penalties. well there are plenty

of people not believing sarri's explanation after seeing what happened but goalkeeper kepa arrizabalaga has also come out to say it was a misunderstanding, commenting on social media that he regrets how the end of the match has been portrayed and at no time was it his intention to disobey the coach or any of his decisions. well, manchester city meanwhile, don'tjust have won theirfirst piece of silverware to be happy about — they've also seen their premier league title rivals drop more points as liverpool were held to a nil nil draw at manchester united. the game had very few chances and was disrupted by injuries. united needed to make all three of their subsitutions in the first half. united needed to make all three of their substitutions in the first half. liverpool couldn't take advantage though but the draw does take jurgen klopp's side a point clear of manchester city at the top of the table. we did not create enough. 100%. that

is the truth. it was clear the us today. if united played with a team of the first weeks, they can win the ball. we did not do well, to be on us. ball. we did not do well, to be on us. we take that. that is how it is. we have one more than before but it doesn't feel 100% like that. everything that could have gone wrong first half it did. for injuries, we had to take three off and on stayed on. we had to keep him oi'i. and on stayed on. we had to keep him on. it seemed like it was going to bea on. it seemed like it was going to be a tough afternoon but they work ha rd be a tough afternoon but they work hard and we kept them away. i do not remember liverpool having a chance and david having to make a save. united's draw means that arsenal move above them in the premier league into the top four after they beat southampton 2—0. alexander lacazette and henrikh mikhatarayan with the goals. staying with the premier league, leicester city have sacked

their manager claude puel after 16 months in charge. it follows saturday's 4—1 defeat at home to crystal palace which means they're without a win in the league since new year's day. they were also knocked out of the fa cup by league two side newport county last month. in italy, juventus are 13 points clear at the top of serie a, after a 1—0 win away at bologna. it wasn't convincing from juve, who only two shots on target, but they got the job done. paulo dybala steering the ball home midway through the second half to ensure his side bounced back from their mid—week champions league defeat to atletico madrid. meanwhile napoli consolidated second place in serie a following a 4—0 away win over parma. substitute adam ounas added a fourth goaljust two minutes after his introduction to complete the rout. borussia dortmund held on to get their bundesliga title challenge back on track with a 3—2 win over bayer leverkusen. mario goetze scored the all

important third goal on the hour—mark to give dortmund their first victory in four league games and keep the side three points ahead of his former club bayern munich. we have to win because we did not do well in the last three games. we cannot always look at what bayern munich is going to do. we can only play our game and we did that really well today so it was good for us, for our mentality and for our confidence. in la liga, alvaro morata scored his first goal for atlectico madrid as they beat villarreal 2—0 to close the gap on leaders barcelona to 7 points. real madrid are third and nine points off top spot after they won 2—1 at levante thanks to goals from benzema and bale. well let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: alvaro bautista claimed an historic hat—trick of wins

on his world superbike championship debut, as the ducati rider added to saturday's opening race victory with a sunday double at phillip island. giant slalom world champion henrik kristoffersen once again got the better of austria's slalom king, marcel hirscher to win the latest world cup event in bulgaria, claiming victory by four—hundredths of a second. germany's eric frenzel and fabian reesla claimed gold in the nordic combined team sprint at the world ski championships. followed by norway in second and hosts austria in third. dustinjohnson has cruised to a five shot victory at the wgc mexico championship to claim his sixth world golf championship title and 20th win on the pga tour. johnson carded a five under round of 66 to finish on 21 under par as he pulled away from rory mcilroy. the back nine was nothing more than a victory parade to the clubhouse. as this is the 20th win

of his pga tour career, it gives him a lifetime member status. in rugby union, ireland's defence of their six nations crown is still alive but they had to come from behind to secure a bonus point victory over italy. it was laboured at times at rome and the home side were leading at half time before ireland scored two tries to win 26—16. italy were left disappointed after coming close to securing a losing bonus point. it's their 20th consecutive six nations defeat. there is a bit of frustration, certainly, in our group but at the same time, no—one has got a margin on italy that has been particularly co mforta ble. on italy that has been particularly comfortable. probably reflective of a pretty competitive unit that they

have got. but from me chetan pathak and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. what a difference a year makes. this time last year, the end of february 2018, we were feeling the effect of the ‘beast from the east', the coldest mass of air to affect the uk in a number of years. it brought widespread cold, widespread snow and widespread disruption. fast forward to 2019, things could not be more different. 0ur air not coming from the east, instead we are bringing it up from the south—west and, rather than exceptional cold, this has brought exceptional warmth through the weekend. on sunday afternoon, parts of west wales got up to 19.1 degrees, provisionally that is a new record for wales in february and there is soem more to come. certainly for the next few days.

some warm sunshine, but with some frosty nights and some foggy mornings. 0nly slowly, later in the week, will it start to turn a bit more unsettled but not particularly cold. we will start off monday morning though on quite a chilly note, particularly down towards in the south. temperatures below freezing. well below freezing in one or two places. not as cold across north—west scotland because we've got more cloud, some patchy rain, and just about any weather — could be some mistiness aaround, but some fog patches most likely through parts of yorkshire and up into north—east england. where the fog does develops, it could be quite dense, could be quite slow to clear as well. but through monday, most of us enjoying blue skies and sunshine once again, apart from the far north of scotland where there will be cloud and outbreaks of rain. but look at the temperatures. widely between 1a and 18 degrees. one or two spots could hit 19 degrees. nine would be more typical for this time of year. it is, of course, all

because of high pressure still sitting just to the south—east of the uk. not many white lines, not many isobars on that chart. light winds to take us into tuesday morning. perhaps a touch of frost but, again, for most a sunny day. a bit more cloud for a time into northern ireland. maybe the odd spot of rain into north—west scotland, otherwise it is dry and still exceptionally warm for the time of year. as we get into wednesday, it looks like we'll see a bit more fog developing at this stage. so it could be a foggy, murky start on wednesday morning. much of that should tend to cleear through the day. some patches might linger for a good part of wednesday. but again, in the sunshine, it will feel warm. things start to change though, a little bit on thursday. a bit of a pincer movement, one little weather system tries to push in towards the south. 0ne frontal system towards the north so that brings the potential for rain for some of us on thursday, certainly not all of us. but there is an increasing chance of rain, some breezy weather too, and it turns a bit cooler as we head towards the weekend.
