good evening, welcome along to sportsday with me, chetan pathak. on the day of his funeral, the world of sport has paid tribute to prince philip, the duke of edinburgh. so as not to clash with the time of this afternoon's service, there were no 3 o'clock football matches. in the 12:30 kick—off in the premier league between newcastle and west ham, a minute's silence was held at st james�* park before the game, with players and officials wearing black armbands. play was paused at the world snooker championship at the crucible in sheffield to hold a minute's silence, the same happened in cricket and formula one. whilst there was also a minute's silence held before the women's six nations match between scotland and italy in glasgow. and we'll bring you up to date with all the sporting action

the picture is looking a lot brighterfor the picture is looking a lot brighter for newcastle after last week's win at burnley, it wasn't long before they make their murk again, doing all the hard work before some calamitous defending to the rest. craig dawson was given a second yellow for a foul in the build—up. things went from bad to worse for the hammers as newcastle doubled their advantage, some comical goalkeeping led to this gift. surely this game was over? whatever david moyes said at half—time seem to have an impact as his side came roaring back. this was adjudged to be a handful, jesse lingard making no mistake from the spot. this game had one final twist. he had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes before he headed in the winner. a crucial goal that could go along way to securing
