into the corner for a first league win in nine games for the toffees taking them up to 12th while arsenal are 7th. national league leaders chesterfield will travel to european champions chelsea in the third round of the fa cup. chesterfield were one of five non—league sides in the hat for the draw and will face last season's runners—up at stamford bridge. elsewhere liverpool will entertain league one shrewsbury. a great draw for swindon too — the league two side hosting manchester city. league one clubs morecambe and cambridge have lucrative ties, going to tottenham and newcastle respectively. and the holders leicester are drawn at home to watford. england midfielder jude bellingham is being investigated by the german fa for comments made about the referee after his borussia dortmund side lost 3—2 to bayern munich. bellingham questioned felix zwayer�*s appointment referring to his six—month ban for a match—fixing scandal in 2005. he was frustrated that zwayer rejected dortmund's appeals for a penalty before awarding one to bayern munich during their game on saturday.

dortmund say they are standing by their player. for me it was not, he is not even looking at the ball, he is fighting to get it and it hits him but i do not think he is looking at the ball. you can look at the lot of the decisions in the game, you can give a referee who has match fix before the biggest game in germany, what do you expect? the liverpool manager, jurgen klopp has admitted that contract negotiations with a player like mo salah, are a little different to others but that they are discussing his future. salah is the premier league's top goal scorer but his deal with liverpool runs out in 2023 and the eygyptian striker had spoken to an arabic publication suggesting that it was an issue for the club to resolve. we are talking and whatever, extending the contract of a player like mo salah is not a thing you do, you meet for a cup of tea in the

afternoon and find an agreement, thatis afternoon and find an agreement, that is completely normal. he is fine and i am fine, i think what we all want is clearand fine and i am fine, i think what we all want is clear and things like this need time. england cricket fans might not be able to travel to australia to watch the ashes series but there will be plenty staying awake throughout the night this week when the first test between england and australia starts in the early hours of wednesday morning. both squads have had to deal with controversy, quarantine and bad weather affecting their preparations for the first ashes test. joe root still has a few key decisions to make before the first bowl is balled and has admitted that this ashes series in australia could be the biggest challenge of his four years, so far, as captain any ashes series, you look at it is the biggest challenge, but whether the biggest challenge, but whether the biggest challenge, but whether the big challenge comes a big opportunity and that is exactly how i am looking at it. in many respects, we have got nothing to lose coming here. we have got a great chance in the circumstances

that we find ourselves into, and do something very special and we should take great confidence from that. staying with cricket where root has given his seal of approval to darren gough who is back at yorkshire as the interim managing director of cricket. the former england fast bowler replaces martyn moxon, who was one of 16 people to leave the club last week after former player, azeem rafiq was found to be a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" at the county. gough says he's aware of the "wider responsibilities" of taking on the position. gough spent 15 years at the county over two spells and will be the managing director until the end of the 2022 season. the danish golfer thorbjorn 0lesen has appeared in court today, accused of committing a number of offences, including sexual assault, on a flight between the us and london in 2019. the ryder cup winner has denied the charges. here's our senior sports news reporter laura scott. (vt) 0n the 31st ofjuly 2019, thorbjorn 0lesen had been travelling first

class from nashville to london heathrow on a british airways flight after competing in a golf tournament in memphis. a woman on the flight said the danish golfer had been unsteady on his feet before he kissed her hands, nuzzled his head into the nape of her neck and then grabbed her breast. a member of the cabin crew said the five—time european tour winner had appeared highly intoxicated and totally spaced out. another said she had never come across such bad behaviour on board a flight in 27 years of service and the captain of the flight said he and others had discussed possibly diverting the course of the flight if the situation escalated. the judge was told that he had no memory of his behaviour on board the plane after drinking alcohol and taking sleeping pills and he felt terrible and embarrassed. trevor burke qc who is representing him told the court that what happened was a single isolated incident and he said he had taken two pills that his partner had been

prescribed for insomnia and to other sleeping pills and that medical experts have said that could cause amnesia, confusion and clumsiness. mr burke suggested his client had been sleepwalking when he urinated in the aisle, which was consistent with the possible side effects of taking the sleeping pills. the trial continues tomorrow. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. tuesday will start with the widespread frost, some icy patches in the west of scotland and north—west england. that is ahead of storm barra, the centre of the storm approaching the west coast of ireland and we will see a band of wet weather sweeping north and east. after that. we will see the rain pretty quickly into northern ireland, wales and the south—west in the morning. the wins strengthen as well to be followed by some sunshine

and some blustery showers is the main wet weather sweeps north and east. it may make double figures in the south—west, a lot colder elsewhere particularly in scotland and the north of england and into that code out the rain will turn to snow especially over the hills. a couple of centimetres over the picts, pennines and a lot more fail in the southern uplands and later in the day in the highlands. lizards as well, the wins strengthen in all the time, the strongest of those through the rhc as well, gusts near the coast of 70 or even 80mph.
