the league two side managed to beat leeds united, of the premier league, 3—0. a result that will live long in the memory. andy swiss was watching. under cold, grey skies, a day when crawley lit up the cup, 62 league places separated them and leeds united, but from the off you'd scarcely have guessed it, as tom nicholls so nearly put the underdogs ahead. and just after the break, they were ahead, and how! a lovely run into the penalty area, crawley are ahead! what a moment for nick tsaroulla, his first—ever goal in senior football. he'll do well to score a better one. remarkably, though, that was just the start, as moments later ashley nadesan made a 2—0, nadesan made it 2—0, a goalkeeping howler, but the crawley manager certainly wasn't complaining. and if the fans weren't already pinching themselves, they were after this. 3—0 to league two crawley! jordan tunnicliffe completed leeds‘ misery and crawley‘s

euphoria, and the scoreline did not flatter them. rarely has such a shock seemed quite so straightforward. andy swiss, bbc news. so a great day for crawley. let's hear now from the man who scored their third and final goal. it hasn't sunk in, i don't think. all week we have been preparing for the game. we know how good leeds are, but we knew that if we gave 100% and we stuck to our guns then we had a chance and i think every man has done brilliantly out there today. they made it easy for us back four, they were working hard at the front, but i think it's shock at the minute. that's at the minute. the overriding emotion. you can that's the overriding emotion. you can say that again! so an absolutely sensational win for them. and it's been a busy afternoon in the third round throughout the day, including heartbreak for non—league marine. adam wild is here in the studio for us with more on the day's action. adam. yeah, a really sensational win for crawley. a great occasion for marine. the biggest in their history. remember they play of course in the northern premier

league division one north. that is the eighth tier of english football, this evening they were up against up against tottenham hotspur, currently fourth in the premier league. not quite the result they wanted, but certainly no disgrace. in fact, they almost took the lead, have a look at this — it was after a terrific run. joe hart in the spurs goal massively misjudging the flight of the ball. spurs though took the lead a short time later. carlos vinicius with the first two. lucas moura added a third, an excellent free kick and at that point the game was over. vinicius getting his hat trick before half time. so the dream over for marine. a dream though for alfie devine, just 16 years and 163 days old scoring to make it 5—0. he is spurs youngest ever player and a goal on his debut, so now their youngest ever scorer. what a day for him. marine's manager though, full of praise for his side and forjose mourinho.

obviously went through lots of games to get here and to bring the team that he did and then do still bring in gareth bale and others off the bench, you know? in the end... we we re bench, you know? in the end... we were laughing, and who was coming off the bench, but you have got to show great respect. i can't ask any more of our lads. you know, a bit sloppy at times in certain situations and probably got some more tackles and at times, but you are playing against world—class footballers and they make it look easy, time, strength, pace, but others say very proud but have achieved. —— but as i say. if league two morecambe had been hoping to spring a shock this afternoon, those hopes didn't last too long at stamford bridge. it was always going to be an impossible task for them, especially given the covid outbreak they've suffered over the last couple of weeks. they only returned to training on tuesday after coming out of isolation. this is england's mason mount

opening the scoring for chelsea. frank lampard's side were two up before half time. timo werner with the goal, that ends 827 minutes without scoring for blues, so that is boost for him. so that is a boost for him. callum hudson—odoi hit the third, good control, well ta ken. and they got a fourth in the closing stages, this time kai havertz on the end of it. 4—0 it finished at the bridge. so chelsea push on, west london derby on friday night for them against fulham. no great problems either for manchester city, they beat birmingham city by 3—0. some terrific performances at the etihad. some rather poignant scenes too, as the club paid tribute to their former player, colin bell, who died earlier this week. this, theirfirst home game since his passing. but as i say, some really excellent goals, this was the first from bernardo silva. a brilliant finish, well

worth a second look. really wonderful control! he got the second as well after some lovely passing from his teammates. and then a very well taken third came from phil foden. all the goals in the first half, so man city into the fourth round to go with their efl cup final. just one extra line from the etihad — pep guardiola confirming that sergio aguero wasn't involved because he is isolating after coming into contact with someone with covid. eight games in total today, wins this afternoon for barnsley, bristol city and cheltenham. newport county take on brighton this evening. all the results are over on the bbc sport website bbc.co.uk/sport — where you'll also find in—play highlights, the final game where you'll also find in—play highlights. thank you very much and we look forward to the draw for the fourth

and fifth rounds tomorrow as well. rangers are now 22 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership after beating io—man aberdeen 2—1 at pittodrie. aberdeen had ryan hedges sent off midway through the first half, but james tavernier missed the resultant penalty — his first miss from the spot this season. two goals from alfredo morelos though were enough for rangers to make it 15 wins in a row, despite a consolation goal for matthew kennedy. only one match took place in the women's super league today — after covid cases forced the postponement of three matches. chelsea put on a five—star showing to make up for fans missing their wsl fix though — thrashing reading at the madejski stadium. fran kirby stealing the limelight against herformer club. jo currie reports. women's football has been making headlines, but for all the wrong reasons this week. four matches had to be called off due to covid, with some of those players testing positive after they holidayed in dubai, contravening government advice. on the pitch today, at least, it was business as usual for chelsea. 15 minutes in and sam kerr found fran kirby, taking her time to round the keeper, left—footed.

with this audacious effort, only to be denied by the woodwork, but more was to come. a moment later and she was at it again, this time holding off the reading defence to find the back of the net with her right foot. 2-0. this is turning into the fran kirby show. and she wasn't done yet, at the stroke of half—time, chelsea's kick and kirby doing well to keep the ball in and with all the space to head home and complete a perfect first—half hat—trick, chelsea cruising. after the break and the fran kirby show continued. a corner to the front post and who else was there to guide the ball into the corner? there was time to substitute one so young to add one more, pouncing on a loose ball and getting the timing right to make it 5—0. but all the plaudits will go to fran kirby, with four goals for her and three points for chelsea and the defending champions up to second in the table.

jo currie, bbc news. there was a thrilling finish to rugby union's premiership clash between london irish and harlequins. irish scoring a late try, to draw the match 27—27. oli hoskins was the man they had to thank — the prop forced over from a line out with two minutes to go. quins had led 17—7 at one stage. london irish go seventh, just a place below their opponents today in the table. australian cricket's governing body has apologised to india — and is investigating claims that visiting players were subjected to racist abuse by spectators during the third test. local police ejected six spectators from the scg, after india's mohammed siraj complained to umpires. drew savage reports. after three days of enthralling cricket, sadly the focus on day four shifted. play was interrupted because of alleged racial abuse from the crowd. india had made a formal complaint on day three after bowlers jasprit bumrah and mohammed siraj said they'd been abused. today they brought it to the umpires‘ attention after more abuse was alleged

to have taken place. the officials investigated, play stopped for ten minutes, until six members of the crowd were identified and removed. it is definitely not acceptable in this day and age. we have seen a lot... in this day and age. all in this day and age. over society and... and sometimes i think it goes back to the upbringing, so this must definitely be dealt with. and... we must make sure that it doesn't happen again. i've said for years that one of my biggest pet hates in life, that people can... they think they can come to a sporting event, whether it is cricket or any sport, and pay their money and think they can abuse or say whatever they like. i mean, i have hated it as a player, i hate it as a coach. we have seen it in different parts of the world and it is really sad to see it happen in australia. cricket australia responded strongly — their head of integrity, sean carroll, said, when the action resumed, australia pressed home their advantage. three players made half—centuries,

cameron green top scored with 84 as the hosts declared on 312—6. that left india needing an unlikely 407 to win. they started well, openers shubman gill and rohit sharma put on 71 for the first wicket. but with rohit second man out for 52 just before the close, 309 more runs on the final day looks a tall order. whatever the result, both sets of players will be hoping it's the action on the pitch that grabs the headlines. drew savage, bbc news. finally, the masters snooker is under way with kyren wilson the first man through to the quarter—finals. he beat gary wilson — who only received a late call—up to the tournament after jack lisowski tested positive for covid—i9 — kyren winning 6—2. the event has been moved from it's traditional home of alexandra palace to milton keynes so that coronavirus protocols can be followed with a hotel on site. that's all from sportsday. thanks so much for watching, we will see you again very soon indeed. take

care! hello, there. after what has been a very cold week both by day and by night, we start to see some changes to our weather now, particularly across northern and western areas, with some less cold air moving in, outbreaks of rain. though it's still pretty chilly for the rest of today across the south and the east of the country, which started off frosty with some dense fog around. the cloud is thickening up out west with patchy rain and drizzle, persistent rain affecting the north and west of scotland, a bit of snow over the high ground. the breeze picking up too, temperatures recovering, 8 degrees there for stornoway and for glasgow. further south, low single figures for most. though a degree or so up on what we had yesterday. as we head through tonight, those temperatures continue to climb, more cloud pushes in from the west, the breeze picking up from the south—west as well. it is very wet indeed across the north and west of scotland. perhaps a bit of localised

flooding in places. you can see temperature—wise, away from the south—east, it's a mostly frost—free night. lows of around 7 or 8 degrees for parts of scotland and northern ireland. for this upcoming week, it's going to be milder certainly than the weekjust gone. there will be quite a bit of rain at times, mainly across northern and western areas, a bit of snow likely, particularly over the hills in the north. this is the pressure chart for monday and you can see low pressure to the north of the country, lots of isobars across the chart. these whether fronts bringing outbreaks of rain. the milder air making inroads across most of the country, cold air still looms to the north of scotland and that is likely to turn some of the rain into snow across northern scotland, certainly over the high ground, but even down to lower levels and it could be quite heavy. further south and west, a lot more cloud around, most of the rain will be across western areas. some drier interludes across the south—east. temperatures much higher than they have been of late, 7—ii degrees. the milder air holds on as we go into tuesday across southern and western areas. that plume of cold air

in the north spreads its way southwards across much of scotland, northern ireland and into northern and eastern england. here, it'll be dry and bright with some sunshine, maybe just a few coastal showers, but a strong northerly breeze making it feel quite raw. the weather fronts and milder air loom across the south and west so here rather grey, damp, but 10—11 degrees here versus 3—6 for the north and east. that rain spreads across the country on wednesday, turns a bit drier by the end of the week, but you can see the temperatures for this upcoming week much milder than the weekjust gone.

this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall, the headlines at 8pm. fresh warnings that the nhs — under increasing pressure — could soon be overwhelmed by coronavirus cases. the health secretary says people should all play their part in helping stop the spread amidst calls from some that the rules are not tough enough. we can all do something to help, which is to stay at home, because every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal and we all have a part to play. we have had mixed messages, i'm afraid, for the past nine months which is why we have a problem. i would like to see the prime minister out there every day with a press conference making sure that that message is getting through because that is the most crucial thing.
