back ollie foster there and much more reaction to those great wins for ireland and scotland over on the bbc sport website gloucester hartpury maintained their 100% record in the women's premier 15s. they beat bristol bears by 19 points to 17, to make it ten wins out of ten so far this season. they sit three points clear of the exeter chiefs. gloucester hartpury have a 100 % record in the league this season, but exeter have only had one defeat in their ten games. they cruised to victory against darlington mowden park sharks, who are bottom. there were also wins for saracens and sale. time now for some of today's other sport stories and perth scorchers won their fifth big bash title with a thrilling win over brisbane heat. the scorchers won by five wickets on home territory, reaching their target of 176 with four balls to spare. india's aditi ashok has a six shot lead going into the final round of the kenya open on the ladies european tour. england's cara gainer is in third

on four under but is a massive nine shots behind ashok. and ali carter is through to the final of the german masters. he beat robert milkins by six frames to five in berlin. he'll face either tom ford orjack lisowski in tomorrow's final. struggling west ham united held fourth place newcastle to a 1—1 draw in the final premier league game of the day at st james' park. newcastle had a goal disallowed as var showed the ball had gone out of play, but callum wilson put them ahead for real soon afterwards. west ham levelled it up later in the half through lucas paqueta and they held on for a valuable point.

now let's turn to football, because this could prove to be a pivotal weekend in the race for the premier league title. the leaders arsenal, who'd been beaten only once before today in the league, lost 1—0 at everton with sean dyche earning a much needed victory for his side in his first game in charge. ben croucher was watching. a new stadium on the way, and a new manager in the dugout. this is an everton under reconstruction, under new management. from the rubble of the previous regime, sean dyche's side stretch league leaders arsenal, but not quite far enough for nick calvert—lewin to put the home side ahead. this was head and shoulders above what everton had been used to the season, an improvement without anything to show for it. all it needed was the finishing touch. james tarkowski, a player moulded under sean dyche at burnley, his first everton goal, sending goodison park giddy. well, most anyway.

arsenal had a title to chase, whatever they throughout everton was thwarted. the pressure was building, whatever ingenuity arsenal tried was wasted, pressure released. everton with a result and a performance to build on, for this was sean dyche's day. so, as ben says, someting to build on for the new everton manager sean dyche. next up, they've got liverpool at anfield next monday. but this was just their fourth league win in 21 games this season, which temporarily took them out of the relegation zone. after the match, dyche spoke to match of the day. a clean sheet, 1—0. a lot of work done this week. i've been very pleased with the players and their honesty has been invaluable to us as a staff, and the base to work from. i must mention a few of them, they felt they'd let down the last manager and i admire their honesty. they will have to correct that

and we'll do it together. there hsd to be a base to work from, there had to be a feel of a group, and a commitment to the cause, and i thought there was plenty of that today. what's the plan, to deal with a team that had lost into early september? try to put one in their net. the bit in the middle i wasn't worried about. i was more looking at the outcome of the game. performance was really important. we you can leak information to the team pre—season, slowly and surely. we have had to condense that to a week and a lot of information about how we want to go about it. the team showed commitment and the technical layers. they have accepted that. i have admired that. make no mistake, you will be working.

and you said, do it for them, but for the fans. what about that goodison experience on the side of the fence? you certainly can't ask for more. i said about trying, we give our lot,. we have got to revive that. the fans are going to be massive. the passion, the desire of this club to not be in the situation. fans are going to be a massive part of that, i have been here when it was rocking and it was rocking today. a big win for everton, but what now for arsenal? they've had very few setbacks this season and now face potentially the toughest month of their season. after next week's game at home to brentford, they host their closest title challengers manchester city. manager mikel arteta admits his team didn't step up like we had a lot of controlling

periods in the game, we got to control the basics really well, guess a team that is so direct and so dominant on set pieces and defends the box really well. so dominant on set pieces and defends the we needed to do more to date win the game. what disappointed you the most? what what is the ship? is not creating enough today? it is disappointing but is well there is the strength. it is more down to us, especially how we played in many areas, especially in the final bit. we should have created with open situations. manchester united consolidated their place in the top four with a two one win over crystal palace, despite having to play nearly half an hour with ten men. it was this man bruno fernandez who put united in front from the penalty spot afterjust seven minutes. they looked comfortable

for the most part marcus rashford then scored his nineteenth of the season to make it two zero just after the hour mark. casemiro was then sent off. palace pulled one back through jeffrey schlupp but couldn't find an equaliser. it takes a risk. we have all seen us. he can't get away with that. for me, it is the inconsistency. when i see the elbow is not interfering. in this situation he could have sent off more players. then be consistent and everyone who is crossing the line has to be sent off then. not only one player. the line has to be sent off then. not only one player-— line has to be sent off then. not only one player. the way we started the name, only one player. the way we started the game. i — only one player. the way we started the game, ithink— only one player. the way we started the game, i think a _ only one player. the way we started the game, i think a little _ only one player. the way we started the game, i think a little bit - the game, i think a little bit frustrated. considering the penalty and then— frustrated. considering the penalty and then we managed to get into the game _ and then we managed to get into the game the _ and then we managed to get into the game the more the game was growing and the _ game the more the game was growing and the more we were getting involved _ and the more we were getting involved. we finished the game with a couple _ involved. we finished the game with a couple of—

side southampton, a 3—0 win for them thomas frank's side are up to seventh. green football weekend highlighting the issue of climate change was marked at grounds around the country, including at carrow road in the championship. burnley extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points. a tim krul error gifting the opening goal, burnley winning 3-0. second placed sheffield united were held to a goalless draw at rotherham. chloe kelly scored herfirst women's super league goal of the season as her manchester city side beat the division's bottom club leicester to move up to third in the table. city took the lead through the league's top scorer, bunny shaw, with a looping header her 10th of the season just after the hour mark. before quick feet from the england international kelly sealed the win for city, who had 32 shots in the match. they're now two points behind leaders manchester united. elsewhere, one other match in wsl today brighton earned a

potentially crucial point at aston villa in their battle against relegation. it finished 1—1. earlier this week we brought you the news that co hosts australia and new zealand have asked fifa to urgently clarify reports that saudi arabia's tourism authority is to be named as an official sponsor of the 2023 women's world cup. a deal with visit saudi is set to be announced and has been criticised by human rights groups. we've been speaking to new zealand international katie rood. the mother questioned me to ask of sport is where our finances come from. it is the paradox.— from. it is the paradox. these companies — from. it is the paradox. these companies are _ from. it is the paradox. these companies are making - from. it is the paradox. these companies are making so - from. it is the paradox. these l companies are making so much from. it is the paradox. these - companies are making so much money that they have to invest it somewhere. if it is being invested into some port then we need to make as much effort as we can to be aware of that and educate people and i think that's again where the

players' voice, and the clubs,, that is where we can encourage fans to all come together and look at the scope that football has across the world, and the power and potential for change, and just make that choice to get into it. it's day two of great britain's davis cup qualifier in colombia. the tie was poised at one all ahead of today's doubles rubber... three matches today, this is the best of five and great britain need to win to reach september's group stage. and dan evans & neal skupski have beaten the former world number ones robert farah &juan sebastian cabal in straight sets. that means cameron norrie will have the chance to win the tie for britain if he wins his singles rubber against nicolas mejia. we can bring you live pictures of that now on iplayer if you want to watch it. it is 2—2 going with

serve. dan evans was beaten last night to give colombia 1—0 lead on paper, a patch a match that cameron norrie should win on paper. it is those altitude conditions near bogota, the ball flying fast off the racket in that thinner air, that can cause problems for the british players not used in those conditions. this might be tighter thanit conditions. this might be tighter than it appeared on paper. follow it on the iplayer. if norey wins this, britain through to the september group stages. great britain are looking good for a medal at the bobsleigh world championships in switzerland. brad hall and his team are in second place after two heats of the four man bobsleigh competition which is the halfway stage with the final two taking place tomorrow. but they'll need get past the german group fronted by olympic champion francesco friedrich

if they're to take the gold. that is all from sportsday. plenty of reaction over on the sports website and an eventful day in the premier league, but in the six nations, where scotland have beaten england again at twickenham, and ireland got a big win over wales at cardiff. from the team, that is all from us for now. good night. good evening. grey skies have featured heavily in saturday's weather, but i'm hopeful that for sunday, blue skies should be a little more widespread. we shall see some spells of sunshine, albeit with a slightly chillier feel. today has been unrelentingly cloudy in many places, in fact the cloud on the satellite picture has been thick enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle,

and this band of rain pushing its way south—eastward. behind that, notice clearer skies with one or two showers, and some colder air. as the last of our rain band clears southwards during the night, clear skies following on behind, we get into that colder air, so temperatures will drop down to around freezing, maybe a touch below freezing. the one exception, the south of england, which will stay pretty mild through the night. into tomorrow, the last of that cloud will clear away and we will see some spells of sunshine. that said, it may well be that across northern ireland, northern england and scotland we see some areas of high cloud which could turn the sunshine hazy at times. all in all, a brighter day, a slightly chillier one, eight, nine or 10 degrees. if you do keep blue skies overhead, it is not going to feel too bad. what we have for tomorrow is an area of high pressure in charge. during tomorrow night that high is likely to slip a little further south—east.

we could see fog patches developing but towards the north—west, for northern ireland, scotland, we will see more of a breeze and more cloud creeping in. that will hold the temperatures up, whereas for england and wales, monday morning will get off to a cold and frosty start. one or two fog patches, particularly in the south east which will tend to clear. for england and wales plenty of sunshine through the day, northern ireland, and scotland, particularly the west of scotland, seeing more in the way of cloud. more of a breeze, maybe the odd spot of drizzle, and temperatures between seven and 10 degrees. as we head deeper into the week, high pressure will hold on in southern areas, keeping it mostly dry, but giving the risk of some fog patches. towards the north—west of the uk we see these frontal systems pushing in, with a chance for some rain, and certainly some stronger winds, particularly in the north of scotland. the greatest chance of wind and rain through the week towards the north and west of the uk, further south mainly dry, but with some patchy fog.
