second half, ben youngs gave hope. but wales never lost focus or momentum, theirfourth but wales never lost focus or momentum, their fourth try to seal it. disappointment for england, who are now fourth in the table after their second defeat. ee'll hearfrom head coach eddiejones in a moment. but wales are unbeaten and top of the table, the grand slam remains a possibility for them and their captain alun wyn jones says there's more to come from them. i think we've in character in the previous two games and we have had a bit of luck as well, banks of the ball and what have you. i truly believe we're not the finished article. i believed we played with the ball in hand a lot today, so pretty please with how it went today. the effort today was outstanding and a difficult _ the effort today was outstanding and a difficult game for us. given what happened — a difficult game for us. given what happened in the game. we have to be

scarlets' hopes of reaching next season's champions cup got a boost in their thrilling 27—25 win over edinburgh. dane blacker�*s breakaway try put the welsh side in front early in the second half, a lead they built on before holding off a spirited comeback from edinburgh. to the premier league now, and manchester city are pulling away from the rest of the field at the top of the league after another victory against west ham. goals from reuban diaz and john stones means there's now 13 points between them and their nearest rivals manchester united, asjoe lynskey reports. for manchester city, the numbers are extraordinary. they're 13 points clear and have won 20 in a row. every goal takes them closer to the title and to records. it’s every goal takes them closer to the title and to records.— title and to records. it's goal! came from — title and to records. it's goal! came from a _ title and to records. it's goal! came from a cross _ title and to records. it's goal! came from a cross from - title and to records. it's goal! | came from a cross from kevin title and to records. it's goal! - came from a cross from kevin de bruyne, who may be the seconds best

passer of the ball. this will make it easy for even ruben dias to score comment he's defender. in six years at west ham, michail antonio's play all over the pitch, but this equaliser was the first goal city of letting it since december. and for a while, the finishing was absent, sergio aguero getting the first start in four months but looked out of practice. instead, his side looked elsewhere and, once again, the centre backs came up. england's john stones is having its best ever season, he keeps collectors out and has now scored four himself. west ham came close to a late respond but city were now on a run being watched around the world. bayern munich got 23 straight wins last season and it's thought the world record is 24. for now, it's not about who can catch them but how far they can go. what a dramatic match at the hawthorns earlier between west brom and brighton. it finished 1—0 to west brom,

but that scoreline doesn't tell the story. kyle bartley got the valuable goal early in the first half. brighton had several wasted chances to equalise. first, pascal gross hit the bar from the penalty spot. but then came the biggest talking point of the match. a quick free—kick from lewis dunk fooled everyone — including the cameras — but bizarrley, referee lee mason changed his mind and ruled it out. he had blown his whistle twice, the second time before the ball had crossed the line. if that was a sore point for brighton, danny welbeck then added to their woes, missing their second spot kick of the game. not a happy day for brighton boss graham potter and dunk, who took that free kick, was livid that the referee said it didn't count. it's embarrassing. i've got to come

to st mirren and it finished 1—1 between kilmarnock and dundee united. away from the football, let's take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines: despite crashing with 24 miles to go, britain's adam yates finished second in the tour of the uae, behind tour de france champion tadej pogacar. both managed to finish safely in the main bunch. australian sprinter caleb ewan beat the field to win stage seven. clondaw castle won the day's featurejumps race, the close brothers handicap chase at kempton, beating off several grand national runners in a fast contest on ground over three miles. it's the third win in the race for trainer tom george. erik le rouge was second and mr malarky third. britain's sam bird won the second race of the formula e season in saudi arabia, his first victory for the jaguar team. the race finished while the safety car was out because of a crash. it's bird's tenth win in formula e, which puts him joint—second

on the all—time leaderboard. british football's first silverware of the season will be handed out this weekend. either stjohnstone or livingston will lift the league cup on sunday at hampden. and while the fans won't be there to see it, whoever wins, it will be a significant achievement for the teams and their new managers. here's our sports news correspondent, chris mclaughlin. there's no point in getting to the final unless we win it. a! there's no point in getting to the final unless we win it.— there's no point in getting to the final unless we win it. a lot of the bo s final unless we win it. a lot of the boys haven't _ final unless we win it. a lot of the boys haven't played the _ final unless we win it. a lot of the boys haven't played the final, - final unless we win it. a lot of the i boys haven't played the final, might never _ boys haven't played the final, might never play _ boys haven't played the final, might never play in the final again. 2015! never play in the final again. 2014 and, never play in the final again. 2014 and. against _ never play in the final again. 2014 and, against all _ never play in the final again. 2014 and, against all odds, _ never play in the final again. 2014 and, against all odds, a _ never play in the final again. 2614 and, against all odds, a scottish cup final win. the assistant then is the manager now. {up cup final win. the assistant then is the manager now.— the manager now. cup finals are secial, the manager now. cup finals are special. even — the manager now. cup finals are special, even more _ the manager now. cup finals are special, even more special- the manager now. cup finals are special, even more special withl special, even more special with supporters there, but i think the players — supporters there, but i think the players realise how big a game it

but there is still a weak weather front affecting northern parts of the country through today. that's bringing rather grey, leaden skies for parts of scotland and also northern ireland, with a bit of mist, also some drizzle. but a huge contrast further south — much of england and wales is bright with plenty of sunshine, and after the chilly start, that slightly stronger sunshine is getting to work, so it'll feel quite mild out there, but the next few days, pretty similar, largely dry with variable cloud, some sunshine and nights will continue to be chilly. there's that weather front across northern areas which will tend to fizzle away as we move through the latter part of the day. high pressure dominating the scene for those light winds as well across the board. a little bit of cloud across scotland and northern ireland, the remnants of that weather front further south for england and wales, largely clear skies, so it's going to turn cold. could see a bit of low cloud and mistjust rolling into eastern england and east anglia towards the end of the night, but where we have the clear skies, chillier with pockets of frost, mist and fog, a little less cold for scotland and northern ireland, because here we'll have a little bit more in the way of cloud. 0ur area of high—pressure still with us then as we move

into part two of the weekend. we've lost that weather front as well across northern areas. so i think after some early cloud starts to break up across scotland and northern ireland, it should be a sunnier day for you through sunday. england and wales, plenty of sunshine around after a chilly frosty start, bit more cloud, though, affecting eastern england and east anglia. so here, i think temperatures may be suppressed a bit, 6—7 celsius in norwich. elsewhere though, where we have that strong sunshine, 10—13 celsius will be the high, so very mild again. now, as we head through sunday evening and night, it looks like we could see some more substantial mist and cloud rolling in off the north sea across england and wales through the night, whereas further north, scotland and northern ireland should see clearer spells, so here it will be colder with a touch of frost than what it will be further south and east because there will be more in the way of cloud. but it could be that we start many places off on monday morning like this, rather grey with some mist and murk around, but at least mainly dry. now, if i run the pressure chart on through monday and into tuesday, you can see high pressure dominates the scene, but this weather front mayjust move northwards and affect southwestern

parts of the country tuesday into wednesday to bring just a few showers. but i think for most, this upcoming week is looking dry with that area of high—pressure influencing the weather. could see variable amounts of cloud, a little bit of sunshine in northern and western areas, and then signs of it turning chilly for all by the end of the week.
