liverpool are top of the premier league after a win at newcastle but manchester city will have something to say about that. england women win a fourth consecutive six nations title as they beat france 24—12 in bayonne. and we're hours away from the biggest women's boxing fight in history as katie taylor takes on amanda serrano in new york. and i'll be life here at madison square garden with all of the build—up. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm isaac fanin. what a busy day of sport we've had! let's start in the premier league. a big day for clubs at both the top
6:32 pm
and bottom of the premier league. liverpool's crucial 1—0 win away at newcastle united in the early kick—off sent them top of the table for a few hours at least. patrick gearey has more. liverpool's quest for a quadruple offers no breaks — constant travelling and training, no time to slow down, no game to take easy. no tackle to pull out of. newcastle were not happy with that one but it started up the red machine, the parts moved, the spaces opened. incredible. inevitable. as liverpool celebrated comic var checked a bad tackle. the ball was one and the girl was given and newcastle stayed store. they will be figures of panic for liverpool suspected they were offside here but were relieved to get confirmation. it should have been more comfortable for them and there were many chances and strangely, missed. he usually scores subconsciously
6:33 pm
and with every passing liverpool opportunity it would become easier to believe in bad omens but their fears were ultimately irrational. newcastle only rarely threatened rarely so liverpool climb at least temporarily top and now it is city who must move. so liverpool keep winning as they have to do to maintain their title hopes — jurgen klopp was understandably plaesed to have secured all three points after the match. i saw a top—class game, to be honest. it was not onlyjob done, it was in extremely difficult circumstances playing this kind of football... i think it's really special, to be honest. and that's why i'm really, really happy. you want to win football games. in the best case scenario, you deserve to win them. and we did today, 100%. against a team in form, in their stadium, great atmosphere. that's really special and not onlyjob done. i think liverpool were probably not

6:35 pm
and danny ings confirmed what has been the inevitable for his side for quite a few weeks now. it's a record sixth relegation from the premier league. we will try all we can. that's what we have to do. it's a very difficult leak to stay in. 125 million here at villa to keep us up. in ourfirst season in the premier league. that is how tough this leak is. but we had a terrible start, obviously. two points after ten games. it's difficult. but i can't question the attitude of the players. at least today they performed really well. tote today they performed really well. we wish norwich well. they have got a good _ wish norwich well. they have got a good coach — wish norwich well. they have got a good coach and a good manager. there is a tot— good coach and a good manager. there is a lot of— good coach and a good manager. there is a lot of fight there. they made it difficult — is a lot of fight there. they made it difficult for us. and i'm sure norwich— it difficult for us. and i'm sure norwich have employed the infinite bil norwich have employed the infinite big picture. they were already in a difficult _ big picture. they were already in a difficult position. he has done his best and — difficult position. he has done his best and i— difficult position. he has done his best and i have no doubt that him and his— best and i have no doubt that him and his staff will bounce back.
6:36 pm
another significant match at the bottom of the premier league at vicarage road — burnley overhauled a 1—0 deficit to beat watford 2—1. that leaves mike jackson's side five points clear of third bottom everton who play chelsea tomorrow. ajames tarkowski own goal gave watford a first half lead. but two goals in the final ten minutes, first from jack cork and then the winner five minutes from time from josh brownhill gave burnley a much needed three points. watford all but relegated — 12 points adrift of safety with only 12 left to play for. yeah, we are delighted with the result obviously. the second half performance as well. the first half, we weren't where we needed to be. so we weren't where we needed to be. so we are a little bit disappointed coming to half—time, but we knew that with the crowd and if we stick with it, we got a bit more possession, we could get back into the game. but all credit goes to the group as well. they have been terrific. �* .., , .

6:40 pm
khadija shaw scored four times at the academy stadium in what was city's11th win in a row. craig templeton was watching. with champions league football on the line, they haven't been in the top three all season, a win would put them there. with ten games, one in a row, city seems to be timing it right and wasted no time in scoring the opener. a great run. brighton were really struggling, and when shaw found space it was 2—0 after just two minutes. city were notjust looking like scoring with every attack, they were scoring with every attack. caroline wear was the quickest to the rebound. it was three — two and it wasn't even half—time. city regrouped after the break, and shot was having one of

6:43 pm
to the championship after being relegated last year — a result that means gillingham go down to league two. both sets of fans invaded the pitch afterwards. that means that the third team in contention for automatic promotion, mk dons, will go into the play—offs — despite winning 5—0 at plymouth argyle, with scott twine scoring four of the goals. it means argyle, who had a man sent off, slip to seventh place and wycombe wanderers take the last play—off spot at their expense. we have limits our girl missing out. at the other end of the table, fleetwood. .. in spain, real madrid won the league with a thumping 4—0 win against espanyol.
6:44 pm
they've sealed the title with almost a month of the season remaining. their triumph capped a remarkable milestone for carlo ancelotti with the italian becoming the first manager to capture titles in each of europe's top five leagues — england, spain, germany, italy and france. they only needed a point to guarantee the title, but madrid clinched their 35th league title in style. one of football's highest profile agents, mino raiola, has died. raiola was involved in some of the biggest deals in the game and he represented players including paul pogba, erling haaland and zlatan ibrahimovic. he was 5a. england are celebrating their fourth women's six nations title in a row, that's after a 24—12 victory in their winner takes all grand slam decider in france. the result confirms england's status as firm favourites for the world cup in new zealand later this year.
6:45 pm
jo currie reports. when you're ranked number one in the world and have a grand slam in your sights, you know you have a target on your back. with france themselves eyeing the trophy, this is always going to be a battle. and it was the home side who started the quicker as they spent no time at all going over between the sticks. that was probably the early warning sign england needed as they hit back almost immediately. hard to see but that's sarah burn under their touching down to bring england level. minutes later, the england pack once again proving its power, another huge drive and this time abbie ward doing just enough to get it down. england were finding their feet and a confidence notching up one more try courtesy of sarah burn again to go in at the break with a healthy lead. if the first half was explosive, the second half took some time to get going. and when it did it was france who struck, buoyed by the baying bayonne crowd they close the gap to give themselves a chance. england were too strong, too experienced and simply too good. they saw at the rest
6:46 pm
of the match with ease to claim an impressive win. that's their 23rd in a row and their fourth consecutive six nations title. these players will enjoy the celebrations but with the world cup nowjust a few months away, they will know the most important thing going forward is keeping this momentum going. a bit of an anti—climax for wales. their six nations campaign ended with a narrow 10—8 defeat to italy in cardiff. the italians took advantage of two first—half yellow cards which allowed scrum—half sara barattin to score. wales looked to have won it late on after keira bevan went over with five minutes left. but michela sillari won it with a last—minute penalty. wales still celebrate their best tournament finish in 13 years though, having secured third place. not long to go now until the biggest fight in women's boxing history. ireland's katie taylor takes on puerto rico's amanda seranno for the title of the undisputed
