magnificent moment, grateful. we know he has some incredibleness. he showed it here. so very good. but then we went passive and everything went in the game and they were above buffers in the rest of the first half. so i was not happy with that performance. we were so too passive, too low. you bring yourself in trouble. played well the first half dominated the chance count and made some very good ones. kept them to minimal. so i was very pleased at half time and second half they got a penalty so early, you know, and it's what's the point? i mean, the very thing is such a simple thing and making it so complex for me, it's bizarre. in spain's la liga, real madrid's rodrigo struck twice, and jude bellingham scored his 11th league goal of the season as the visitors enjoyed a 3—0 win at cadiz on sunday to move to the top of the table.

news at the bbc sports app or from the website, but from the team for now, goodbye. hello there. if you thought sunday was a cold day, well done, go to the top of the class. it was really cold across large areas of the uk, really cold. temperatures near inverness got to 0.4 celsius. the november average is 9. with cold air in place, the question is, "will it snow this week?" stay tuned for the answer to that one. it is cold at the moment because we have this northern latitude blocking. high pressure in the arctic is sending cold air our way. it is going to stay cold all week. low pressure has been bringing rain in recent hours. through monday it will slowly pull away to the near continent. still some wet weather to come
12:56 am
across eastern england and some showers across north—east england and east scotland and the best of any sunshine will be in the north—west the uk. wherever you are it'll feel cold through the afternoon the temperatures around 6 celsius. as we go through monday night, that area of low pressure pulls out of the way. skies clear, winds fall lighter and you are looking at a widespread frost developing in the countryside. that takes us into tuesday, a completely different day. lots more in the way of sunshine after that frosty start, showers across northern and eastern areas and with colder air working in here, we will see some of snow showers working in to shetland down to sea level and across mainland scotland, the snow confined to some modest hills. a similar picture to wednesday. a mostly dry day with sunshine after a cold, frosty start and again those showers, some of which will fall wintry across the north—east of the uk.
12:57 am
another cold one, temperatures well below average for the time of year. thursday looks to be a particularly tricky day, with a balance of cold rain or snow. a couple of scenarios — low pressure coming up from the south, we could see some rain turning to snow across the hills of southern england with some wintry showers across the north—east of the uk as well, but this area of low pressure might be further north and more intense, bringing more snow, even into parts of wales and the midlands, with those wintry showers across the north—east. so still a bit of uncertainty, but thursday has potential. what i do know is that it is going to stay cold for a long time yet.
