is over for teen coco gauff at the australian open, as several other big names make it through to the quarterfinals. hello, and welcome to sportsday. not many would have fancied shrewsbury town's chances in today's fa cup fourth round, hosting the runaway premier league leaders liverpool. but the side who sit 16th in league one had other ideas. with liverpool 2—0 up, and looking all set to go through, they staged one of the most incredible comebacks to seal a replay at anfield. nick parrot reports. the fourth round of the fa cup is tricky territory forjurgen klopp. he has never got liverpool beyond that. while shrewsbury can only dream of winning it, and upset now

and again is always a possibility. they knew they would be up against it, even before 18—year—old curtis jones put the premier league leaders ahead. but, just 27 seconds into the second half, the optimism in the shropshire air vanished. donald love caused plenty of heartbreak as he turned the ball into his own net. a more experienced a liverpool side would probably have seen this out, but a 19—year—old making just his second appearance gave shrewsbury a chance. and substitute jason cummings took it. that restored the home side's believe, and just ten minutes later, they were level, jason cummings scoring again to give jurgen klopp a massive headache. the last thing the liverpool manager wa nted last thing the liverpool manager wanted is a replay in a congested fixture list. he threw on roberto firmino and mo salah, but neither star could produce some magic. in _— for keeping adrian. w, m for keeping them taken. w, ,., for keeping them in-iérg. w, ,., forkeeping theminit, w- for keeping them in it, and w for keeping them in it, and on thank for keeping them in it, and on this showing, shrewsbury will be

7:34 pm
as they put their poor league form to one side in relentless fashion. craig templeton reports. tranmere might have had lofty ambitions after knocking out premier league opposition on thursday, but all the pre—match talk had been at ground level, and the state of the pitch. ole gunnar solskjaer said united could have no excuses about the playing surface. his side were clearly listening. good hit, and what a terrific goalfrom harry maguire! not a bad way to score your first united goal. and this was not a bad way to make it two. this trick and hit from diogo dalot was not in the script. jesse lingard then put forward his contender for goal of the match. everything they hit is going in! and if you haven't scored in six years, this was looking like the time to do it. step forward, philjones. and to round off a breathless first half, a goalfor a more regular scorer, anthony martial enough to raise a smile. when five goals have already gone in, you can do without your goalkeeper doing this. mason greenwood, 6—0, united unable to miss. so with all the noise that has
7:35 pm
surrounded their league form, united were, for today at least, pitch perfect. the holders manchester city enjoyed their afternoon at the etihad, with a dominant 4—0 victory over fulham. the championship side were reduced to ten men early on, and never recovered as pep guardiola's men cruised into the fifth round. our sports correspondent joe wilson was watching. left of screen, the fulham captain tim ream wearing, notice his shorts, number 13. an experienced american international set for a big game. off they went for 90 minutes. ream only lasted six. a tangle with manchester city's jesus, and the referee immediately confirmed it was a penalty. he also indicated ream's game was over, and effectively, so was fulham's. and no mistake from gundogan with the penalty. the question already became, how many?
7:36 pm
2—0 versus ten men thanks to bernardo silva. would you swap places with fulham's manager, scott parker? pep guardiola with a warm shoulder, good luck. if fulham play here next season, and they are pushing for promotion, they will aim to keep 11 on the pitch. as much as they saved, as hard as they tried, city overran them in the second half. two goals forjesus. every game is a learning game. 15 matches in the women's fa cup fourth round to tell you about today. liverpool women the big winners of the day, thrashing championship side blackburn 8—1. tottenham also with a sizeable victory, they beat women's national league team barnsley 5—0. and arsenal got the better of west ham, winning 2—0. find out the results from all the other games on the bbc sport website. there's been a big surprise in the scottish premiership with bottom club hearts beating

rangers 2—1 at tynecastle. second—placed rangers were looking to close the gap on leaders celtic to just two points and took the lead just after the break through ryan kent. but the home side equalised through steven naismith before liam boyce snatched the winner with just seven minutes to go. the game between st mirren and aberdeen finished goalless. let's start with the cricket in johannesburg. and england have set south africa a record test run chase, to claim victory in the fourth and final match. at the end of day three, england were ahead by a65 runs, with captainjoe root‘s half—century the pick of the performances with the bat. patrick geary reports. this is trumpeter billy cooper's last test after 16 years of playing for england. was he soundtracking the end credits already? this is vernon philander's last test for south africa, and he didn't last long this morning,
7:38 pm
more than 300 runs behind. no point looking back, thought quinton de kock, as england made them wait and chase but it's difficult to get away from mark wood. that was so quick it not only bowled him but broke one of his bales. wood smashed 35 yesterday, now five wickets to go with it. south africa 183 all out. england could have made the south africans bat again, but instead decided to have a go themselves to further stretch tiring limbs. south africa stuck at it, to their credit. that noise will not have helped the migrainejoe denly has been suffering, and headaches around jos buttler‘s batting are not going away. soon england were batting on a cushion of 400 runs, a lead that should secure the series. the hard work has been done, and they still have two days to finish the job. over to the australian open now, where15—year—old coco

gauff‘s fairy tale run at the tournament is over. ashleigh barty is still carrying the hopes of the home crowd, while roger federer and novak djokovic are both into the last eight. john watson is in melbourne. roger federer is into another australian open quarterfinal, not the most straightforward, once again, as he came through in four sets. we know that roger federer was given a real test in the previous round against the australian john millman. but he came through in four sets against marton fucsovics. federer chasing what would be a seventh australian open title. the defending champion novak djokovic looking very comfortable once again. he came through in straight sets against diego schwatrzmann, such is the serbs dominance on the hard courts. he is only lost three matches here in the last ten years. in the women's draw, ash barty has
7:40 pm
reached the quarterfinals. she did it the hard way, she had to come through over three sets against alison riske of the united states, looking a little uncomfortable at times out on court, perhaps the expectation on her shoulders this year starting to tell, as she attempts to become the first australian to win a singles title here in 42 years. a lot of expectation, as i was saying, on her shoulders, but with every win, that expectation grows. and a huge amount of love and support, as you can imagine, from the australian public for ashleigh barty, the world number one. so just what is it that they love so much about her? i've been speaking to jacqui felgate, who has been charting her progress. she works for channel 7 news. i think australians have really got behind her, because it has been such a long time since we have had a number one. she plays the game so beautifully, such a classic game that she plays, she is so amazing to watch. we'll try to get behind her as well, because in the past we have had nick kyrgios our number one ranked player,
7:41 pm
and she plays such a different game, and has such a different personality, so she is really unique, and such a kind person when you talk to her. she really thinks about everything she says, she is just a great ambassador for australian tennis. what a story it would be if ash barty can win the title this year. but coco gauff‘s run has been ended after impressive victories against naomi osaka, the defending champion, and before that, venus williams. the fourth round one step too far for the 15—year—old, so much expectation already on her shoulders, but surely a grand slam champion in the making. we are starting to expect so much from gauff because she has shown us so much, she has been incredible in big moments, she has so little experience and she has approached those situations pushing through as if she is a real veteran.
7:42 pm
you consider the win against naomi osaka, which was huge, beating the defending champion and world number one, and then trying to come back and take out a tough competitor in sofia kenin, it was just a little too much to ask. the moment got to gauff a little bit, and she struggled to adjust and recover, which is perfectly natural for a 15—year—old. she has a game that is bigger than a 15—year—old's, but i expect her to continue to learn from this as she has from so many of her experiences. surely just a matter of time before we see coco gauff in a grand slam final. plenty more excitement to come tomorrow, not least because we have nick kyrgios in action against rafa nadal. no love lost between these two, and when nick kyrgios takes to the court, it is never dull. it is always box office with the australian. we can expect more fireworks tomorrow, a match you will not want to take your eyes off. rugby union, now and the premiership champions

7:44 pm
harlequins showed little sympathy. saracens will meet plenty more clubs like that along the way. england edged a dramatic bronze medal match at the copperbox arena in london, to come third at the netball nations cup. their opponents, south africa, came back from a seven—goal half—time deficit to lead with just a couple of minutes remaining. but a thrilling final quarter saw england return the fight, eventually winning 65 points to 63. new zealand later beat jamaica to win the gold medal match. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. now on bbc news, it's time for click.
