we'll get more on that big win for city in a second, but we'll start with the red half of manchester, where after two straight wins over tottenham and city, united were given a reality check by everton today. ah draw that seemed to delight everton‘s caretaker boss. joe lynskey has more. for the first time in six years, a man called ferguson in the old trafford dugout, but duncan ferguson is everton‘s icon, their goal—scorer of the 90s is now their caretaker manager. and having weathered early pressure from manchester united, now, the man on the touchline took on the elements himself. his side took the lead in this match, putting their bodies on the line. oh, and it's gone in! the challenge from the corner forced united's goalkeeper to miss the ball, it bounced in off victor lindelof.

farfrom vintage, but he wasn't fussing. last week, the home side beat the champions. this was looking more like a day when they were in each of other‘s way. to find the breakthrough from the bench, they unleashed their 18—year—old. .. mason greenwood! mason greenwood's the latest academy player in the first team. united have named one in the squad in 4000 games in a row. some hope for the future in a match that rung with the past, the ferguson in blue will be happiest with the point. joe lynskey, bbc news. so, it's december, a former striker has returned to take temporary charge of his old club — and made an immediate impact. for 0le gunnar solskjaer and manchester united in 2018 — see duncan ferguson and everton in 2019. they have made me look good, the players have been tremendous to me, they have supported me, as have all

they have supported me, as have all the staff, and i put out my shed. how difficult was today, you have been short of key players from last week, and others injured? yes, we have had a lot of injuries and sickness, you just had to get on with it. i think the players who came in were manful. after losing to united last weekend, kevin de bruyne was the star for manchester city as they moved to within four points of second placed leicester with a 3—0 win over arsenal at the emirates. the game was just 89 seconds old when de bruyne made this finish look ridiculously easy to fire city ahead. he then turned provider as city hit arsenal on the counter—attack to make it 2—0. raheem sterling with the simple finish. de bruyne againjoined in his own personal "goal of the game" competition — proving his left foot isn't too shabby either. 3—0 it finished — city stay third, arsenal remain ninth. spurs snatched the three points at molineux with a late header from a jan vertonghen header to give them a 2—1 win over wolves.

the victory means tottenham are now in fifth place, three points behind chelsea, who are their opponents next weekend. we coped with the base period, which after the 1—1, they tried. they are not a team that is satisfied with a point. they know that if you arrive in at the last part of the game with that possibility, we knew that we could score our goal, so the goal came. after that, it could score our goal, so the goal came. afterthat, it was could score our goal, so the goal came. after that, it was to close the door for 5 minutes. to go home with 3 incredible points. it's one of the most prestigious prizes in the british sporting calendar. the 2019 bbc sports personality of the year will be crowned in just a couple of hours. the great and the good of sport have gathered in aberdeen for this year's ceremony to celebrate another momentous year. joe wilson is on the red carpet for us. give us a sense of the excitement

around the awards and how special they are for those involved? the red carpet was almost deserted right now, it just carpet was almost deserted right now, itjust me and pr, the camera is disappearing. you get on a unique opportunity to get sporting stars from such different sport literally alongside each other. for example, i saw ben stokes arrive with alan wood jones,. you also have denis law embracing phil neville, all the mounts of camaraderie. at the heart of this, it is of course still a competition. a competition where we have 6 contenders, just run us through them. this is another people is about. the 6isa this is another people is about. the 6 is a really good list, i think.

the challenge is how do you differentiate out rank these athletes. we have katarina johnson—thompson, also, a dinner at a smith, who broke new good in terms of british sprinting. then alan wood jones, who was such a leader as well w011 jones, who was such a leader as well won the 6 nations grand slam. lewis hamilton, only michael schumacher ahead of him 4 winds in the form of him for winds ahead of him 4 winds in the form of him forwinds in ahead of him 4 winds in the form of him for winds in formula 1. i do nominated for his outstanding play for manchester city this year. then there is ben stokes, very much at there is ben stokes, very much at the centre of that ashes victory in headingley. all those moments will be revisited this evening, otherwise look out for. you have about 20 minutes to find your seat. enjoy your evening up there in aberdeen. and if you can tear yourself off bbc news this evening,

delight at scoring the winner got the better of him. a gesture towards the better of him. a gesture towards the home fans, some of whom had throwing objects, resulting in his first record of the season. afterwards, gerard said that he had no complaints about that. hibs will not be complaining i lied about not having to face the colombian on friday. arsenal women's lead at the top of the wsl has grown to three points after a 3—1win at everton in the last fixture of 2019. vivianne miedema scored twice, taking her tally for the calendar year to 53 goals for club and country but the victory was tainted by an injury to england's beth mead. chelsea's draw at liverpool means manchester city end the year in second place — 3 points behind arsenal. city thrashed brighton 5—0 with german international pauline bremer scoring the pick of them. rugby union — and exeter‘s second win in a week over sale has put them on the verge of qualifying for the knockouts of the european champions cup for the first time since 2016. bath's last—eight ambitions are well and truly over after they were thrashed by clermont
