hello and thanks forjoining us, here's your latest sports news. we'll start with football because was this the weekend that the premier league title race swung back towards the holders — manchester city. leaders arsenal were looking for their eighth league win in a row, but threw away a 2—goal lead to draw 2—2 with liverpool at anfield. gabriel martinelli and gabriel jesus put the gunners 2—up inside half—an—hour. mo salah pulled won back by the break and also missed a penalty early in the second half, dragging his spot—kick wide of the post. substitute roberto firmino scored the equaliser inside the last five minutes and liverpool were denied victory by a number of stunning saves from keeper aaron ramsdale. well, i imagine from the outside world it was a great game to watch. we started the game really well. we were really dominant in the first half, scored the first one, continued play, scored
2:47 am
the second one and the half time we concede the goal and we give liverpool some momentum. i think we started second half first few minutes good. but we started to lose control. started to give a lot of balls away and their game became really open and open spaces to defend and we needed. however we needed a lot of resilience we need the goalkeeper at the right moment and then we had three orfour big opportunities in the counter but but i think at the end probably they're the results. it would have been cool to win this game today 3—2 and would have been deserved so that's fine. and when you're early in the game 2—0 down against arsenal so many things can happen. you can break down, score fourth, fifth and everything would be a catastrophe. so we saved it and that's good. and from here we can go. just staying with that game at anfield, refereeing chiefs are investigating after

liverpool's andy roberston appeared to be elbowed by one of the assistants constantine hatzidakis at halftime. robertson was remonstrating with the linesman who then raised his arm and made contact with the defender. the pgmol say they are aware of the incident and will review the matter in full. robertson was subsequentlky booked for his reaction. one of eight yellow cards shown in the game that had a number of flashpoints. it's really tight towards the bottom of the table, there was a huge win for crystal palace, 5—1 at leeds united. that moves palace up to 12th, leeds remain two points above the relegation zone.leeds actually took the lead through patrick bamford but palace levelled just before the break through marc guehi and leeds unravelled in the second half, jordan ayew scored twice, eberechi eze and odsonne edouard were also on the scoresheet for palace. that's two wins out of two for them since roy hodgson returned to palace, and they are six points above the relegation zone.

this is a good day, but it's not going to be good days forever. i have been lucky so far. i have an excellent three or four weeks of training which i really enjoyed. i've had an excellent three or four weeks�* training which i've really enjoyed. i have seen the team play very well in two matches. i suppose if i was a younger less cynical person i might be — i might be enjoying it more than i am because i've still got an eye on the fact that we aren't clear yet from relegation zone. this can change, you can win two in a row, but as we know, you can lose as many as five or six in a row. i got to make certain the good things we did today throughout the game, but in particular, i think, maybe for the last ten minutes of the first half and all the second half, we got to reproduce that and so easy as a coach or manager to say that's what we got to do, but it's an effort from the players�* side.
2:50 am
they take on the message, when you tell them that, they don't disagree with you, but they got to somehow sum it up the energy the concentration, the focus, the determination, to get out and do it and that's definitely what they did today. the second half was the worst — the worst moment from my arrival because in the rest of the teams — the rest of the game, sorry, and today in the first half we competed always, always competed, but today was different, yeah. this is how the top of the table looks. arsenal are now six points clear of manchester city but they have played a game more and face city later this month. manchester united newcastle united and spurs all won this weekend. the fight for a top four finish hotting up between those three the relegation battle is the tighest in years, palace will be confident of staying out of it, but from wolves down, no—one is safe. west ham the only side with a game in hand,

2:53 am
but today was not his night. when the second six happened, we knew that we can actually win this game and. god always gives these moment it is people with golden heart. i'm really happy god has given him this very moment. to that particular point, we were much ahead of the game. i think these things won't happen. we just have to accept this is a game of cricket and t20 and anything can happen and i think rinko pulled off a brilliant victory for them. as a cricketer, i would definitely — i can, you know, be and think — i can be and think how he's feeling now. it's about how we help him

if you've got any of this week under canvas or if you're on the move. now, the change to the more unsettled and changeable conditions has already started, this weather front pushing eastwards overnight into the morning, bringing outbreaks of rain for all. through the morning, some of the wettest conditions will be across the south and east of the uk. quite abundant rain to begin with, but don't write your day off, sunshine will come out. there'll be a scattering of showers across the country through the day, showers most frequent through the afternoon, northern england and northern ireland, as well as the highlands of scotland. winds going into a more westerly direction through into the afternoon, gusty in the south, it will make it feel a bit cooler for some of you compared with today, but for the likes of east of scotland, it'll actually feel a bit warmer with a bit more sunshine. now, as we go into tuesday morning, we'll see showers gradually fade away overnight, and it will be a chilly start to tuesday. only i—2 showers continuing, and we'll get used to some colder nights through this week at times. but actually, a reasonably pleasant day for some on tuesday. to the north and east of the country, save just
