fans helping them a lot, they were really loud and helping them because they've had such a great season. still, we managed to create more than a few chances to score from. that's what pleases me most. unfortunately, not for the first time this season we don't get what we maybe might deserve. we knew in the second half that they would react. the game went a bit up and down and we knew in that moment that they could be dangerous. they had control and with the speed and the talent they created so many chances. overall, i'm proud of the way we worked. the running and desire of the players was incredible. manchester city's title defence took another blow as they threw away a two—goal lead at brentford. phil foden scored twice for city who were in front up until the 92nd minute when christian norgard's header secured a point for the home side. city remain 12 points

off the top. i feel like the control was there in the first half, the start of the second then i don't know what happened. they put pressure on, we could not keep up with the pace. we paid the price there. is there still confidence in the dressing room you are good enough to make at least the top four place? there is belief and hope in the changing room, some of the best players in the world. it is possible. i can see the improvements recently. we are getting better and better, to keep going in that way and hopefully we can get back to our levels and that's it, really. a 95th—minute equaliser from reece james salvaged a 2—2 draw for chelsea against bournemouth at stamford bridge. enzo maresca's side still haven't won in five league games. bournemouth are now unbeaten in ninth. graham potter picked up his first win as west ham manager as they beat fulham 3—2

in sunday's shoot—out. we really have to do something about it. it's incredible, and we really have to do something about it because accepting that and hiding this i think has terrible consequences. it's something that we really have to eradicate from the game because it's so cynical and so dependent on the result of an action, and there is no other industry like this. on december 27 at home, we won 1—0 and kai havertz scored a goal and the whole stadium sang the waka waka. ?that was 20 days ago. where is the perspective? we are all responsible, and all means you guys, everybody is responsible for the narrative, everyone is responsible for how we talk. and we cannot look somewhere else. that's a really serious matter, and it affects him, it affects me, it affects everybody in the industry in a way. we can accept it and say that it's ourjob, yes, but there are certain limits

of excellent leaders and we are developing that within the squad. maro itoje is a guy who is a world—class player. an incredible professional, and i feel we are developing a good depth of leadership in the squad. of all the games maro started, 86 games, he only came off twice which is an incredible figure for a player. and he is a guy i have a lot of respect for, a guy i've seen really develop and i see all the players in the squad have a lot of respect for this man. a new era for the england man's side under the leadership of maro itoje. spencer was the starting scrum half at the beginning of the autumn, but he is not in the squad

with world champion kyren wilson in action against zhang anda. before we go, a reminder that you can get all the latest from the australian open over on 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 there. 0ur weather may well be turning a bit murkier right now, but it was a pretty stunning end to the day on tuesday with lovely sunsets here in highlands, scotland. we have a number of these sunset pictures sent to us from our weather watchers. we had a significantjump in temperatures over the last 24 hours. fylingdales in north yorkshire was monday's coldest spot atjust 3 degrees,
4:56 am
but we had temperatures jump up here by 7 degrees celsius from monday into tuesday. tuesday itself was a day of variable cloud and a bit of sunshine at times. now, high pressure is dominating our weather picture for the next few days, bringing a quiet spell of weather and often feeding up some pretty mild air too. however, mild weather at this time of the year doesn't necessarily equate to sunny weather, and right now, what we're seeing is extensive low cloud. we've got some mist and fog around, and the low cloud is also bringing a few patches of drizzle with it too, particularly across parts of wales and western areas of england. so, although it's a frost—free start to your day on wednesday morning, it's going to be pretty murky with mist and fog for wales, western areas of england and quite murky conditions through the vale of york. a few fog patches in the midlands too. some of these fog patches may well linger all day, but i think for most areas, you'll see a bit of sunshine coming through, the best of that for scotland, the far north of england. may well stay rather cloudy for east anglia and southeast england, some of that cloud could stay quite low with occasional mist patches still around into the afternoon.
4:57 am
temperatures for most of us into double figures, so we're on the mild side for the time of year. and with this area of high pressure staying with us wednesday, thursday into friday as well, not going to be great changes in our weather pattern day by day. so thursday morning, again, a few mist and fog patches around initially, perhaps a little bit more in the way of sunshine extending across scotland into northern england, the north midlands and wales. but, again, we'll probably have some low cloud and mist hanging on across parts of east anglia and southern counties of england. temperatures generally around 7—10 degrees, so we're running a little bit above average for the time of year, and quite mild there for west scotland and northern ireland. friday, the high pressure is still with us, but into the weekend, this weak weather front is going to move in off the atlantic. the front weakens as it runs into our area of high pressure. and so saturday, a dry day, sunday, we'll see the clouds thicken with outbreaks of light rain spreading in. there'll be a few showers around next week, but for the time being, the weather staying mostly on the mild side.
