3:45 am
on a goalkeeping error to equalise from a tight angle. newcastle had led 1—0 at half—time thanks to a brilliant strike from alexander isak and then led again through anthony gordon after curtis jones had equalised. mo salah thought he'd won it for liverpool, he scored twice, put them ahead for the first time, only for schar�*s late strike to get a share of the points — 3—3 it finished. it was again a great game to watch. so this is what we do. with the exception of us not winning today because the last few times we won. but there were moments in the game that i thought, ok, if we go away with the draw, i am happy about it, before the end, 3—2 up, but of course it is a disappointment.
3:46 am
there was a feeling when you play liverpool, you as many goals as you can, as big a lead as you can probably get because they are never out of the game but the second goal eluded us today has been a similar pattern throughout the season really for us. but at least we are creating the chances and i think that is always the positive outlook for us because previous games we haven't been as creative as we were today, but we were always in the game because we looked like scoring. so, liverpool's lead is down to seven points after that draw at newcastle with chelsea moving up to second on goal difference after a big win at bottom side southampton. they won 5—1, five different goalscorers, their last coming from jadon sancho, his first for the club. disasi, nkunku, madueke and palmer also on the score sheet. southampton hardly helped their own cause when skipper jack stephens was sent off for pulling marc cuccurella's hair. saints remain rooted to the bottom, seven off safety. i am very happy for the fans because i think they deserve
3:47 am
it, every time we play, especially away, they are always there, always with us, and after one or two years, the last two years i think is a good feeling for them to see the players enjoy and win games. you say your team is too young to win the league this season. i think they disagree, the belief out there amongst the supporters. they can dream, they can think that, but the reality for me is different. arsenal are third, level on points with chelsea, after they beat manchester united 2—0 at home. it was goalless at half—time at the emirates, but the gunners struck from two corners, jurrien timber and william saliba the scorers. that's 22 goals that they scored from corners this season, more than any other side. for united, that's a first defeat for their new head coach ruben amorim. incredible, the way they responded, they played the second half, playing many more. gave the clean sheet and very happy because we lost two massive players in the back line, the team is still responding
3:48 am
so really pleased with everything. there was sheer relief at manchester city after six defeats and a draw in their last seven in all competitions. they beat nottingham forest 3—0 at the etihad. kevin de bruyne made his first start for city in more than two months. he looked to be the difference, scoring once and also providing the assist for baranardo silva's opener. jeremy doku scored their third. the win moves the champions up to fourth, nine points off the top. an incredible person, and what he has done this year with us has been outstanding. unfortunately last season was many months injured. when he is fit, maybe not ready to play like today, but hopefully he can help us, like always has done since he came from germany more than one decade ago. really important win for everton, 4—0 over wolverhampton wanderers. that sees them move 5 points clear of the relegation zone. and wolves have sunk deeper into trouble. craig dawson scored two own—goals in the second half.
3:49 am
ashley young and orel mangala had given the toffees a 2—0 lead at the break. that's their first league win in six, they are up to 15th. it's the first time since the opening day of the season that wolves have failed to score, and after back—to—back defeats, they've slipped to 19th. it is nice for the fans to see goals, i felt that we have been creating chances, we haven't always taken them this season, and today we have, we created other chances. but i am pleased for the lads because they put a lot of work in, a lot of questions of the team sometimes but they delivered today in a really awkward game and i think they delivered a rather strong performance today. and aston villa have got their first win since october, 3—1 at home to brentford. they were 3—0 up by the break with goals from morgan rogers, ollie watkins and matty cash. mikel damsgaard pulled one back for the bees in the second half. they're down to ninth, villa up to seventh. in the scottish premiership, celtic, they've got a seven—point lead
3:50 am
over aberdeen after beating them i—o. reo hatate�*s late goal was enough for the win on a very wet and windy night at pittodrie. they have won 13 and drawn just one of their 14 league games this season. they also have a game in hand on the dons. third—placed rangers have beaten kilmarnock 6—0. cyril dessers with a couple. dundee beat motherwell 4—1 to jump above them into fifth on goal difference. right, to the cricket. south africa's women have beaten england by six wickets in the first of three odis in kimberley. england made a very poor start to their innings, they batted first, falling to 29/3 and then 106/7 when captain heather knight was out. only some late hitting from charlie dean lifted england to 186, but they were all out in the 39th over. south africa were always in control of their run chase with opener and captain laura wolvardt unbeaten on 59 as they reached their target with 70 balls to spare. the next match is on sunday. the double olympic mountain bike champion tom pidcock is leaving his road racing team ineos grenadiers. he's had four years
3:51 am
with the british outfit. his contract was due to run until 2027, but he's left by mutual consent. had a bit of a falling out there. his highlight at the team was winning a stage in the 2022 tour de france. the team say he's leaving to pursue multi—disciplinary goals. fia president mohammed ben sulayem says formula i drivers should "mind their own business" and let motor racing's governing body get on with theirjob. world champion max verstappen has been very critical of ben sulayem this season with george russell recently demanding "clarity and understanding" after a number of high—profile sackings at the organisation. i really feel like a father to them. but discipline is important also, you know. the fia is responsible for the safety, we are the regulator and we are the governance body, we
3:52 am
actually own formula i. but we rented, but the end of the day, we do our responsibility and they do their responsibility, because they are a great fleet and they are young and they are ambassadors, and what they do best? race till the last. . . centimetre. do yourjob, we'll do ours. now, only once before has the ancient sport of sumo taken its revered grand tournament outside of japan. that was back in 1991 when it was held at london's royal albert hall. next year, it is going to return there, as chris slegg reports. an unusual sight at the home of the proms — sumo is coming to london. well, in a moment, they're going to give us a demonstration and give us a taste of what to expect next october when an official sumo competition takes place outside of japan for only the second time in 1,500 years. the combined 60 stone of two wrestlers will not, therefore, be a significant addition. the first time was also at the royal albert hall back in 1991.
3:53 am
what gives you the confidence that sumo can find an audience here in london? well, it certainly did in 1991, it captured the imagination of the entire country. as people talked about it and kids re—enacted it in the playground. so i think it's going to capture people's imaginations again. i think they're going to be curious to see what it is, the ritual and the culture, as well as the sport itself. the 1991 champion — now chairman of the japan sumo association — was affectionately nicknamed �*bulldog' by the brits. translation: | thought - it was a very clever nickname and at first i thought it was because of the way i look, but then i was told it was for my bravery, so i was very honoured to have this nickname. translation: i would like them to see the elements _ of the traditions and their hairstyles and the ceremonial aspects that take place in the tournament system.
3:54 am
this man is one of the world's top wrestlers right now. in london, we love football. are you confident there will be a passion for sumo wrestling? translation: it's difficult l to be better than the chelsea fans or to get more attraction and football in the uk, but of course this is a great opportunity to introduce sumo and we hope that a lot of people are attracted to our sport. sumo in london — it's gonna be huge. chris slegg, bbc news. just about it. a reminder of our top story — liverpool held to a 3—3 draw at newcastle united, so their lead aat the top of the table is now seven points. lots more on that on the bbc sport website. but from me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. hello there.
3:55 am
the weather is set to stay pretty unsettled as we head towards the weekend, but it's not a complete wash—out. there will be some drier, brighter interludes from time to time before the wet and windy weather moves through, and then it will turn noticeably colder, particularly for the second half of the weekend. so, one weather front has been bringing some heavy rain — that's sweeping its way east. a brief lull, but only briefly, before the next system starts to pile in, so rainfall accumulations are going to start to pep up over the next few days. widely, we could see 50mm of rain, but across north wales, northwest england, some areas could see 70—80mm, possibility of further localised flooding. so, not a bad start for many across central and eastern areas, clouding over from the west, and some of that rain really turning quite heavy, with gale—force gusts of winds, particularly for highlands and islands. here, we'll see 8 or 9 degrees. highest values, though, further south of around 13 or 1a celsius. so a slightly milder feel to things,
3:56 am
but a spell of very wet weather will sweep its way through, and as we move towards the early hours of friday morning, the wind direction changes once again, back to a northwesterly. so a slightly cooler start to friday, but friday should be a relatively dry start with some sunny spells coming through. there will be a few scattered showers into the far northwest, and with elevation, some of these a little wintry, but later on, the next system starts to push in from the atlantic. yet more wet and windy weather to come. on the whole, friday will be a slightly cooler day, 6 to 9 degrees. now, this area of low pressure could still be just that little bit further north, but at the moment, the current thinking is that it's going to move its way across the country, and with elevation, across the pennines and the southern uplands, we could see some snow as it clears through. but it was going to move through during the early half of saturday. the wind directions swing around to a northerly. some of those showers with the elevation could turn quite wintry, as well. temperatures down again, 5 to 8 degrees quite widely across the country.
3:57 am
for the second half of the weekend, though, it looks likely that we're going to start to see high pressure building in from the west. it'll still be a windy day, a cold wind coming down from the north. but on the whole, sunday will be drier with more sunshine coming through, but it will feel very chilly indeed. take care.
