hello and welcome along to the programme. lots to get through, and we'll start with a fascinating manchester derby in the english premier league with a dramatic final few minutes giving manchester united victory. josko gvadiol had given manchester city a first—half lead, but united hit back with two goals in two minutes right at the end of the game at the etihad stadim. the first a penalty scored by bruno fernandes, the second from amad diallo to complete the turnaround and give the new united manager ruben amorim an important derby win. we were in the game for 90 minutes and that is very good, and ifeel today they believe it. we talk about the arsenal game, we were playing well in the first half, but i felt
4:46 am
that they were not believing that we could win. today was so much different in the game. we delivered and managed to score and i think we deserved the win. the reality is the game was not exceptional for our side because i know the situation, understand for many reasons, but the reality is that we are not winning games and are not good enough. so i am the boss and the manager and i need to find a solution and i do not find it. yeah, that is the reality. a 5—0 defeat to tottenham hotspur proved to be the end of russell martin as manager of southampton. the saints were heavily beaten by spurs, and a couple of hours after the game the club issued a statement saying they'd taken the difficult decision to part ways with martin afterjust one win in16 games. on the pitch, tottenham scored four of their five goals in the first 25 minutes. james maddison with both
4:47 am
the first and last goals for spurs. i thought we got on top of them and locked them in, and then our footballing transition and running without the ball was outstanding tonight. look, it was outstanding against chelsea but the game got away for us for a number of reasons, so this is not a one—off, it has been a constant in our good performance. the players should get a reward for it. chelsea continue to enhance their title credentials, closing to within two points of liverpool at the top with a 2—1 win over brentford. marc cucurella and nicolas jackson with the goals for enzo maresca's side, who had cucurella sent off after the final whistle for his part in that post—match scuffle. in the day's early kick—off, crystal palace beat rivals brighton 3—1 at the amex. the result takes palace four points clear of the relegation zone. ismail sarr scoring twice for the visitors to give palace their first win over brighton in seven games.
4:48 am
palace are now unbeaten in five games, and are in 15th place in the table. celtic have won the scottish league cup beating rangers in a thrilling match which was eventually decided by a penalty shoot out after rangers' ridvan yilmaz�*s effort was saved by kasper schmeichel. and it was daizen maeda who scored to win the trophy for celtic. it was 3—3 after 90 minutes and extra time. the result continues brendan rodgers's record of never having lost at hampden park and leaves rangers boss phillippe clement still looking for his first derby victory. i think it was a really great final. the game that finishes 3—3 after extra time and penalties, people will get their money's worth watching it, but ultimately you want to be on the right side of it, and thankfully we were. let's round up some of the big results around the rest of europe. in italy, fiorentina lost ground in the serie a title race as they were beaten 1—0 at bologna and missed
4:49 am
the chance to claim a club record ninth straight league win. in spain's la liga, atletico madrid beat getafe i—o to move level on points with league leaders barcelona, who themselves were beaten 1—0 by leganes. while psg have a seven point lead at the top of the ligue un table. centuries from maia bouchier and nat sciver—brunt helped england to a score of 395 on the opening day of their one—off test against south africa in bloemfontein. bouchier hit 126 on her test debut, sharing in a i74—run partnership with sciver—brunt, who scored the fastest women's test hundred from 96 balls before being run out. england declared nine wickets down and south africa closed the day on 17 without loss. it was pretty amazing, i would say, unforgettable. i think that i have said to a lot of people before this is the pinnacle to make my debut and get 100, i think that's
4:50 am
off the charts really. i am super happy and i am happy to contribute to my team. i would say they really batted well, the england side. also i felt like our pace pullers, they did well, they started off well, even though we had a few loose balls. but we came back stronger and we fought as a team. south africa's shaun norris won his second dp world tour title on home soil after a final—round 67 proved enough to win the alfred dunhill championship. norris started the day six shots off the lead but charged through the field courtesy of an eagle and five birdies. he made par on the 18th, and only ryan van velzen had any hope of taking the title but a bogey at the 18th meant that chance slipped away leaving norris to the celebrate the title.

this last year has been very tough, it has been up—and—down and all over the place. thanks to god and my family and my wife, we get together, and you know what, winning two weeks ago injapan and then winning this week, what a blessing. an emotionalfew weeks. olympic rowers are used to punishing schedules, but imogen grant's year has been something else. after winning gold with her partner emily craig at the paris olympics, she started a newjob as a doctor, got married, and was recently named athlete of the year at the bbc�*s green sports awards. now she's signed up for a new project. one that merges her passion for the environment and sustainability with high fashion. our sports correspondent katie gornall explains. gold for great britain! as an olympic champion,
4:52 am
imogen grant gets given kit — lots of it. there's outfits for training, compete in, received medals in, and it changes year—on—year. rather than let it go to waste, her passion for sustainability has lead her here to the london college for fashion for an upcycling project like no other. hello! in october, the bbc�*s green athlete of the year gave her old kit to this designer. using the latest techniques, they have been reimagined into a dress she will wear at the sport personality of the year awards. 1.5, two months ago you handed over a big bag of kit, did you have any expectations? honestly, i had no idea. i have raced and trained and rowed in all the kit on this table. it is lycra so it is really stretchy, it is made to be sweated in and washed and fit when you move around. but the amount of work that has gone into deconstructing this kit to preserve as much of the fabric as possible is absolutely immense.
4:53 am
those involved hope the project will also make people think about the environmental impact of sportswear. sportswear now is 300 billion industry worldwide and it is set to grow. we see people buy more and more things, 99% of sportswear is polyester. a lot of it is made in countries that are still using coal—fired production for their energy, which is not a good look. i really hope it sends a message. it is really expensive and so much goes to waste. as soon as a sponsor changes a whole new set of kits comes in. but there is so much here that the fabric is still fine, and i really hope this project shows there is another life this kit can have. what has this process involved? it has been amazing to witness. the attention to detail, the amount of time that has gone into making the dress is absolutely incredible. today is the day when you get to see it for the first time. shall we go and have a look? yes, please! cool!
4:54 am
oh my gosh, i can see it. oh, wow. these parts are from paris, so i won the olympics wearing some of this kit here. it has gbr on the back just to remind you. i think this is awesome. wow, that is very cool. this is part of the tokyo olympics opening ceremony. we just tried to blend all your memories in one piece. what was the hardest part? taking all of the garments apart. for one piece of kit, how long did it take? probably it was one week. wow, i cannot wait to try it on. i think it will look amazing. in just a few days' time, the dress will graduate from the workshop to the red carpet, weaving a whole new story altogether. katie gornall, bbc news, london. that is a very clever idea, looking forward to seeing imogen in her dress.

you can get all the latest sports news at the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. sunday brought temperatures as high as 1a degrees in some parts of the uk, and the new working week is getting off to a similarly mild start. now we are going to see some wet and windy weather at times this week. it will then turn colder for a while towards the end of the week, but for the time being, we find ourselves within this area of mild air. across the north of the uk, though, notice this weather front, a very slow moving weatherfront, which is going to continue to deliver some heavy and persistent rain across the north west of scotland.
4:56 am
some western parts of the highlands through monday and into tuesday could be looking at up to 150mm of rain that could give rise to some transport disruption and some flooding issues. elsewhere, a largely dry but rather cloudy start to the day. however, we will see that cloud thinning and breaking to give some spells of sunshine, maybe just a bit grey and murky for parts of southwest england and wales. breezy, in fact windy up towards the north but temperatures widely11, 12, maybe 13 celsius. now during monday night, the rainjust keeps on coming in the north of scotland. further south, a lot of dry weather, some clear spells for a time, but we will see cloud thickening up as our next weather system begins to work its way in towards the west, some rain into northern ireland, southwest scotland as we start tuesday morning, that first band of rain pushing its way northwards and eastwards, then a somewhat drier gap, maybe with a little bit of brightness before our next band of rain swings its way in from the west. the winds will be
4:57 am
strengthening, in fact quite gusty around some western coasts. with those winds coming up from the south, it's going to be another mild day. ten, 11, 12, 13 degrees. wednesday exceptionally mild. there will be some spells of sunshine. scattered showers too. looks like an area of heavy rain will start to push its way in towards the southwest and parts of wales later in the day. if you get yourself some brightness, ten to 15 degrees will feel very mild indeed for the time of year. however, that mild air for the middle part of the week is not going to last because the wind direction changes. into thursday, we bring down more of a north or northwesterly wind, and it is going to feel a little bit colder for the end of the week. so the week starts on a mild note. we'll see some wind and rain, and then it turns a little bit colder later.
