pierre emerick aubameyang with the first of his two goals to the misery of bruce — who's side also lost to arsenal in the fa cup recently. bukayo saka made it two, after good work from emile smith rowe, aubameyang made the game safe, converting cedric�*s cross late on. they move into the top half of the table, with newcastle struggling in 15th. next — to some strong words from the celtic manager neil lennon — who has criticised what he calls "a barrage of absolute hypocricy" after their trip to dubai, from which he and 13 players had to isolate following a positive coronavirus test. it's now been confirmed a second player has also tested positive following their training camp. with a depleted squad, celtic have drawn two games — including this 0—0 draw with livingston on saturday and are now 21 points behind the league leaders rangers. last week, the club's chief executive called the trip to dubai a mistake but lennon says although he's sorry some of them had to isolate — all the rules were followed. we did not abuse any privilege.

we did the right things, we were absolutely, totally professional. we had a little drink in the afternoon on the day of — completely allowed, no lawbreaking. yet now we come back to this barrage of absolute hypocrisy. england defender kieran trippier�*s ban from playing will stand after fifa rejected atletico madrid's appeal against his punishment for breaching betting rules. he was suspended by the football association in december, but the ban was provisionally lifted earlier this month, after the spanish club appealed. as it stands, trippier will miss the first leg of atletico's champions league last—16 tie with chelsea on the 23rd of february, but could return for the second leg in march. phil neville has left his role as england women's manager and has taken over at david beckham's major league soccer side inter miami — in the us. the football association says it will "shortly confirm" an interim head coach, as our women's sport
10:55 pm
reporterjo currie explains. nevels contract with england was meant to run untiljuly this year. the plan was he would leave to the summers postponed olympic games. the announcement means he leaves seven months early for some it also means now england are looking for a new interim balls fill the gap until they take over in august. it also means they need someone to lead them to those elect big games injuly for that i think when people are back they'll see a certain level of success only on paper. he took over injanuary success only on paper. he took over in january 2018, he led success only on paper. he took over injanuary 2018, he led them to the cup in 2019. it took them to work up at them all the way to the semifinals. and had qualified in the process. testing is really, did he development them into four months and did he develop his own style? i probably think that's where there are still question marks. i probably think that's where there are still question marks. wales women have also parted company with their manager today, afterjayne ludlow left the post
10:56 pm
by mutual consent. she'd been in charge for over six years. the head of the welsh fa says she's played a huge part in the progress of the women's game. they narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2019 world cup and next year's euros. england captainjoe root says his side are heading in the right direction after a seven wicket victory over sri lanka in the first test in galle earlier. resuming on 38 for three. dan lawrence and jonny bairstow knocked off the 36 runs required, needing just over half an hour. england are now unbeaten in six test matches and have won four consecutive tests away from home for the first time since 1957. if we can keep improving all the time, keep learning from this game and the good things, also the little mistakes that we have made, we will also get better and we will be a very hard side to beat. it was really important that we started off strong this winter and i'm really pleased in the manner that we have done it. and the premier of victoria has dismissed complaints from tennis players — who've suggested they weren't aware the quarantine restrictions ahead
10:57 pm
of the australian open would be so strict. there are 72 players who're not allowed to leave their hotel rooms, after posititive coronavirus tests were returned by passengers on their charter flights. world number one novak djokovic issued a list of six demands, including reduced isolation and relocation of players to private houses with practice courts. people are free to provide lists of demands, but the answer is no. and that was very clearly put, very clearly laid out beforehand, so the notion that there has been any change, the notion that people weren't briefed, i think that argument really has no integrity whatsoever. and don'tjust take my word for it, you have got other players who i think on social media and on otherforums have made it very clear that they were clear on the rules. and that's all the sport for now. hello, there. we've got some heavy,
10:58 pm
persistent rain on the way, all thanks to storm christoph, that is going to be moving its way in. this area of cloud is that storm system. and it is going to be bringing huge falls of rain. now, between tuesday and thursday of particular concern is the rain that is going into the peaks and the pennines, where we could see 150, maybe 200 millimetres of rain. the met office have already issued this amber weather warning, and i have to say, within this zone, there are many rivers that are running at elevated levels. and that is before the rain from christoph has even really started to arrive. however, it will begin to arrive more heavily overnight tonight. and this zone of particularly heavy rain sets up across northern ireland, north england, north wales, the north midlands. and here, it doesn't budge as we head on into tuesday. so very large rainfall totals starts to build up. a risk of frost and icy patches to start the day in scotland. a few wintry showers here in the cold air, but further south quite mild indeed across south—east england. it will probably stay dry and bright for most of the day.
