hillary clinton was awarded her medal. there were also cheers that ceremony gets under way or continues, and we will see more awards being awarded to others including magic]ohnson, the former nba player, as well as jane goodall, the ]ane goodall, the environmentalist, who is sat in the back row right next to magic]ohnson and we will bring you much more from the white house a little later here on bbc news. but now it is time hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening: the angriest he's ever been in his career. we'll tell you why ange postecoglou ended spurs' defeat to newcastle so furious and how he got that message across. have manchester city turned the corner? four goals, their striker firing, and the champions have won two in a row.

and his five—a—side team. critchlow and dirk, van dango at the back, sat in the middle, because hello again. welcome seven games in the premier league today, and despite very little movement in the table, plenty of talking points. are manchester city back? chelsea drop more points. and are southampton too far adrift even now? meanwhile, at the tottenham hotspur stadium, an encounter that ended up confirming pre—match form and feelings. spurs' poor run has continued at the hands of newcastle, whose 2—1win was a fifth in a row. patrick gearey has more.

thomas tuchel shows this is the first match he would watch as england manager, safe in the knowledge that there would be goals, ideally dominic solanki obliged inside four minutes for tottenham, a side struck in by injury and soon cursing the hand of fortune again. newcastle got the ball to anthony gordon to become another english this was not handball not everything else newcastle did had purpose. tottenham were only saved by brandon austen. their third choice goalkeeper soon became irresistible. a team in form 1a for alexander spurs' slump has been alarming. to their credit, they never accepted their fate. brendan]ohnson so close to an

equaliser. but theirfor brendan]ohnson so close to an equaliser. but their for those from newcastle, the cold it's a result that was delivered by alexandar isak, but newcastle's other goal dominated the postmatch debate, scored by anthony gordon but assisted at least in part by ]oelinton�*s hand. that provided ange postecoglou with just one of many frustrations, who said he was the angriest he'd ever been in his career, feelings made plain by his own post—match interview with the bbc, during which he repeated one particular phrase nine times. here's a representative example of his exchange with mark scott.

couldn't ask any more. we would have won if things were equal. what was your take on your first goal with newcastle? i don't think there was much happiness on the bench. if all things were equal, we would have w0n today. what does that mean? it means they weren't can ijust check that, does that mean officiating areas? you can check that you do not want my opinion, my opinion is that if all things were in balance, we would have win game today. if manchester city's run before and through christmas was historically bad, they might have started a new, more positive one. it's two wins in a row now after a resounding 4—1 win over west ham at the etihad. erling haaland was on target twice, with both set up by savinho, who, after his first city goal last weekend, also

forced an own goal. that's back—to—back victories for the first time since october. as much as what i want at the players, get the best ethic is unbelievable, but our there composure. we accelerate everything but at, so of course we struggle a lot with the the last two victories in the last two games we didn't lose, meanwhile, chelsea have caught city's bug — second in the table just before christmas, but it's now four games without a win after their 1—1 draw at crystal palace. they were ahead early, and until the last eight minutes, but were ultimately held at selhurst park and could lose more ground in a title race their manager insists they were never in anyway. i'm laughing because two or three weeks ago we were in we go game by game, try to be focused on the next one. now we are there and when you don't win this, when you don't win three orfour games and win this, when you don't win three or four games and the rest win games, it is normal they want to be, but there are

still 18 games, so there are many only two teams will end the day higher than they started. day higher than they started. we'll come to aston villa in a moment. but brentford dished out another punishing defeat for bottom club southampton. more boos at st mary's as the home side lost 5—0 to brentford thanks to two goals from bryan mbeumo and two more in stoppage time to make the score particularly ugly. remarkably, it's brentford's first away win of the season, but southampton remain 10 points from safety. last 30 minutes then what we prepared. second half was, it is my fault, like a managerand second half was, it is my fault, like a manager and then team have an understanding of the situation, but stay together and try to do better aston villa inflicted similar pain on leicester, who have now lost five in a row under new boss ruud van

nistelrooy, beaten this afternoon 2—1 at villa park after a first half without a shot on target. two goals arrived in the space of five second—half minutes before leon bailey's winner. everton won't be feeling much better than leicester or southampton after another defeat left them just above the relegation zone. david brooks scored the only goal in bournemouth�*s 1—0 win at the vitality stadium. i don't think it is too dissimilarfrom last i don't think it is too dissimilar from last year. i don't think it is too dissimilarfrom last year. it is kinda one of those things especially the home games where we can turn anyone over. if especially the home games where we can turn anyone over.- we can turn anyone over. if you look at the — we can turn anyone over. if you look at the goal-scoring - look at the goal—scoring records, it is an ongoing challenge, players cost a lot of money. you have to develop a way of playing to score goals. but it comes down to individuals in the final moment of truth comes.

arsenal leading by 1—0. leeds lead at the top of that ship has been cut one point. burnley had put themselves level with lead, a diving header as blackburn's 15 year wait for victory over burnley goes on. sheffield united are also a point off the top after ending a three—game run. middlesbrough missed the championship at the top four, they drew one all. norwich were one — zero down at the 90th minute but staged a comeback to win 21.

the file is made up of three matches. poland will face the united states in the mixed—team united cup final tomorrow with world number two iga swiatek helping them through the semi—finals. the final is made up of three matches... and will see swiatek take on world number three coco gauff in sydney. meanwhile world number one aryna sabalenka made it through to the final of the brisbane international. beating teenager mirra andreeva comfortably in straight sets. polina kudermetova. .. awaits her in the final in the morning our time. and lebron]ames overtook basketball legend michael]ordan for the most 30—point games in nba history. as he helped the los angeles lakers to a 119—102 victory over the atlanta hawks. lebron scored exactly 30 to achieve the feat for the 563rd time and pass the mark set by]ordan in 2003. 0ne darts reporter wrote that in the future, the sport

will have been split into two eras pre—luke littler and post—lu ke littler. the 17—year—old's impression on darts and his influence in growing it now includes a first world title, won by beating the three—time champion michael van gerwen in the final at london's alexandra palace. today he spoke to our reporter matt graveling, who asked whether littler had managed to get any sleep since. ijust nodded off as soon as i put my phone down and fell asleep. put my phone down and fell aslee -. . , put my phone down and fell aslee. .,, , ~ put my phone down and fell aslee. , ~ , put my phone down and fell| asleep-_ i asleep. has it sunk in yet? i don't know. _ asleep. has it sunk in yet? i don't know. no, _ asleep. has it sunk in yet? i don't know. no, not - asleep. has it sunk in yet? i don't know. no, not yet. - asleep. has it sunk in yet? i | don't know. no, not yet. you don't know. no, not yet. you don't play — don't know. no, not yet. you don't play darts _ don't know. no, not yet. you don't play darts for _ don't know. no, not yet. you don't play darts for the - don't know. no, not yet. you don't play darts for the money but you have won so much this year, how is it change your life? it year, how is it change your life? ., , year, how is it change your life? . ., , life? it has changed massively. i can now _ life? it has changed massively. i can now buy _ life? it has changed massively. i can now buy things _ life? it has changed massively. i can now buy things that - life? it has changed massively. i can now buy things that i - i can now buy things that i couldn't have a few years ago but the biggest thing is

exeter chiefs by 28 points to 15 at welford road. ben youngs' quick thinking saw him secure the bonus point try to move tigers up to third in the table... but saracens are on course to leapfrog them after scoring a bonus point try in this evening's game against bristol. a superb innings from rishabh pant brought india back into the fifth and final test match against australia. the aussies started the day trailing by 176 runs and lost early wickets, mohamed siraj taking two of them in the same over to put australia 39—4. debutant beau webster was a bright spark. having been brought in for the out—of—form mitchell marsh, he top—scored for his side with 57, but australia were bowled all out for 181, three runs shy of india's total. the tourists started strongly but then lost three wickets in quick succession, scott boland taking all of them, including virat kohli, in what is likely to be his final test innings down under. but then pant came to the crease and produced

an explosive innings, firing 61 runs from just 33 balls to put india in the driving seat. they finished day two 1111 for 6, leading by 145 runs. i think both attacks were blessed with some probably generational talent that we are witnessing. the surfaces in australia have been like this for a period of time, so they've been difficult to bat on, there has been more seem, the bowling average has come down and so has the batting average. we are not surprised. i don't think it's brought india back into the series, but india back into the series, but i think low scoring games like thisjust heightens the this just heightens the pressure. long way still to go. there's plenty of cricket, so we'll see what happens. south africa have a massive lead over pakistan in the final match of their two test series. it was the partnership of kyle verreynne and ryan rickleton that did the damage on day two. verreyne made a century but was then out a few balls later, whilst rickleton added to his 176 from day one,

making a huge 259 as south africa were all out for 615. pakistan struggled in reply, losing captain shan masood in the first over. babar azam attempted to steady the ship, but pakistan were still trailing by 551 runs at stumps. south afica have a 1—0 lead in the series. before we go just time to update you with the latest between brighton and arsenal. there is something to update you with. brighton havejust scored a penalty, converted by pedro. it is 1-1 that pedro. it is 1—1 that the aim x, but let's look at the premier league table as it stands. arsenal currently five points off liverpool. that gap will only be for, should they claim just a draw at the amx against brighton. chelsea stay fourth, missing their chance to stay above nottingham forest and play wolves on monday night. newcastle just a point from top four after beating spurs, who are in the bottom half of the table in 12th.

everton could be in the bottom three on monday night if wolves and ipswich win their games this weekend. manchester united are in the bottom half of the table, fourteenth, and face a trip to anfield tomorrow to take on league leaders liverpool for what is the biggest match of the weekend. there's a huge gap between them in the table, but the rivalry between the two most successful clubs in english football means these fans consider the league position irrelevant. excited stop excited and ever so slightly unnecessarily nervous in equal measure, i'd probably describe it as, because as much as the league table is because as muc
