for a possible offside from edison cavani in the build up, but the goal was given. harsh on west ham who were organised in a game of little chances. they drop to 5th. but it's back to back wins for the first time under ralf ragnick. the atmosphere was amazing. quite rightly the plates are celebrating. they knew how important this win was. in the end, those are the best kinds of lands, when the other team —— in the end, those are the best kinds of wins, when the other team has no time any more to come back. but obviously we are extremely happy about the performance defensively about the level of physicality that we showed today, bearing in mind that we only played three days ago at branford. there was no winning start to the post rafa benitez era at everton. they were beaten 1—0 by aston villa, as duncan ferguson's second reign as interim manager began. emi buendia scored the only goal from a cornerjust before half time. but as villa celebrated the goal,

writes, that's about it from us. remember, you can stay right up to date with all of the latest news on our bbc sports website and the act. but for me in the sports they seem, have a lovely saturday evening. bye—bye. good evening. saturday may have been a dry day for the vast majority, but it certainly wasn't a desperately sunny one in most places. we had extensive cloud trapped underneath this area of high pressure. the high stays with us through tonight and into tomorrow, keeping things largely dry but often quite cloudy. so, large amounts of cloud in the sky as we head through tonight. where there are breaks in the cloud, they could well fill in with some patches of mist and fog, and where winds are light down towards the south, if you do have lengthy clear spells overhead, temperatures could get down to —3 or —1i celsius
7:57 pm
and one or two places out in the countryside. it will be dependent upon the cloud cover and certainly not as cold up towards the north where we will keep a brisk wind. that wind will continue to blow across northern and western parts of scotland tomorrow with the odd spot of drizzle. for most, it is a dry day with a lot of cloud. some breaks for southwest england and wales. eastern scotland looks quite well favoured to see some sunshine with some shelter from this south westerly wind. the brisk wind in the north, lighter winds further south and temperatures generally between 5—9 celsius, may be getting up to 10 celsius in the north of scotland. now, through sunday night and into monday, our area of high pressure shows signs of declining. that would allow a frontal system to start to push in from the northwest. that will bring some outbreaks of rain on monday, chiefly across the western side of scotland, northern ireland, some of that rain maybe getting into parts of cumbria by the very end of the afternoon. but other areas largely dry, perhaps a slightly better chance of seeing some sunshine.
7:58 pm
light winds for pretty much all of us and temperatures between 6—9 celsius. looking ahead to tuesday, more of the same, really, lots of dry weather. could be some fog patches around at first, some areas of cloud, but some decent spells of sunshine and temperatures, you guessed it, again, between 6—9 celsius in most places. then as we head deeper into the week, well, we do see something of a change with more frontal systems starting to push in from the northwest. this time having a bit more life about them. so, could see some slightly heavier and more widespread rain sweeping through as we head through wednesday and into the first part of thursday. but most of the rain, i think, through the coming week will be across northern areas, not much of it getting down to the south. temperature 6—10 celsius.
