welcome along. thank you for being with us. despite overnight snow, both of sunday's premier league games went ahead, including at craven cottage, where fulham drew 2—2 with ipswich, and at anfield, where manchester united put in an improved performance to draw 2—2 with the league leaders, liverpool. ruben amorim's side went into the game having lost their last four in all competitions, but were the first to score through lisandro martinez early in the second half. mohammed salah�*s penalty saw liverpool turn the game around, 2—1 they led with 20 minutes to go, only for amad diallo to snatch an equaliser ten minutes later. top—of—the—table liverpool are six points clear of arsenal with a game in hand. united are 13th.

i think it is really clear, when we are focused and fight for every ball, when we suffer, finish the game, we are really tired, i think we can bea tired, i think we can be a good team. if you don't do that all the time, we are going to lose games, and i think that is clearfor games, and i think that is clear for everybody. i have to talk about harry maguire. i thought he made a brilliant tackle but a free kick was given against him. he had this chance at the end and he should be reflecting on a good performance not on a missed chance. he will do that. we will focus because for me missing chances or playing badly with the ball for me is not the big issue. for me it is that harry gives everything on the pitch, and that is the most important thing. manchester united fans will walk away thinking 0k, we do at anfield in a massive game where the world is watching. we also have to do it next week and the week after and the week
4:47 am
after when it is not liverpool, not anfield. that is clear. i spoke with your colleagues before and everybody thinks the same thing, so we have to start some day to be consistent, not in the way we play, the way we face the competition, so let's start today. i think it was during the whole game a close call. if you look at the whole game, we created more chances than them, but because we were 1—0 down, because we conceded such a big chance, people remember that the most but before maguire we had a big chance with van dijk, so maybe in the end a draw was a fair result. you said this week manchester united are better than 14th in the premier league and i think you were right. the way they played today, where you worried people not within the club but there was a feeling this would be a big liverpool win
4:48 am
against their biggest rivals and just a feeling of inevitability that you were a bit worried about? no, i think our players and i am for sure know how many quality players united have and it is difficult if you play against a low block — we've seen that before — with so many quality players it is more difficult. they played with two, and for the rest midfielders or defensively minded players and it is difficult to play through and these players can also hurt you a lot on the counter—attack and for a long time they did not take any risk and build up, played many long balls. within the last ten to 15 minutes, theyjust started to play. they were even better. the celtic are 13 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership after a 3—0 win over st mirren. that's after second—placed rangers were held to a 3—3 draw at hibernian. it's five defeats in a row
4:49 am
for aberdeen, who lost 2—0 at motherwell. hearts won 1—0 at third—placed dundee united, whilst there were also away wins for ross county and dundee. next to cricket — australia surged to victory on day three of the fifth test in sydney to beat india by six wickets and win the five—match series 3—1. fast bowler scott boland took 6/45 as india were bowled out for 157, while australia reached their target of 162 in just 27 overs to regain the border—gavaskar trophy. the result also sees pat cummins�* side qualify for the world test championship final at lord's injune, where they'll face south africa. a huge win. in the context of this series, as big a series to get to play at home, felt like it was seesawing throughout the whole series, so to finish 3—1 to hold the trophy is amazing and the extra layer is now securing a spot in the world final which was always a huge goal for us in this cycle and we have done it,
4:50 am
so really satisfied. this was not the typical sydney wicket, what we are used to, we have seen in the past as well but this is how test cricket needs to be played. result oriented wickets and i know we talk about when we go back home about turning wickets but this is probably what weget back home on a turning wicket as well so i think this is the interesting part interesting part in test cricket. american rugby superstar ilona maher made her debut, but couldn't stop her new side bristol bears from losing to gloucester—hartpury in the women's premiership. maher is the most followed rugby union player in the world on social media with over 8 million followers. and this match was moved to a bigger ground because of demand for tickets. elizabeth conway was at ashton gate. this game had already broken records before a tackle had been made, before a ball had been played. the snow here

of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. sunday was a day of snow, a day of disruption for some, and now the met office has extended the amber weather warning. it's going to be valid until 6:00am on monday morning. they've shrunk the area a little. it includes the lake district. some areas could see as much as ten 10—15cm of further snow, on top of already significant snowfall and blizzard—like conditions, with strong winds close to the centre of the low. we'll continue to see some snow showers through the night across northeast scotland, across the peaks and pennines as well, across the north of england. rain elsewhere, but with temperatures here in rural spots falling below freezing, ice could be an issue as well first thing.
4:56 am
so an icy start. be careful if you're going to be out on the roads early on, particularly if the snow showers are set to continue. as we go through the morning, there'll be further snow showers driven along by strong north to northwesterly winds. some of those will run down through wales and into the midlands here. a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow. south of the ma corridor, some brightness, but look at the gusts of winds. gusts in excess quite widely of a0—a5 mph, and coming from a northwesterly direction, that is going to make it feel cold. so your thermometer might suggest 3—6 celsius, but factor in the strength and the direction of the wind, for many of us, it will feel subzero. that cold air stays in place as well as we move through tuesday. still pretty windy with it, and that will continue to drive in a rash of snow showers draped along the coast. some pushing further inland as well. the best of any brightness further south, but again, another cold story. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, the winds will fall a little lighter as the low pressure moves off to scandinavia.
4:57 am
but we'll need to keep an eye on this frontal system moving in from the south. it could be a little bit further north and run the risk of bringing some rain across channel coasts, but certainly will bring a little bit more in the way of cloud and spoil the sunshine. a northerly wind continues to drive in some showers to the far north of scotland. sunshine elsewhere, but temperatures again really struggling. so as we go through the week ahead, it looks likely that this cold spell will continue, and icy starts for many. cold wintry showers continuing and a widespread frost.
