welcome along. thank you forjoining us. we start with some brutally honest words from the manchester united manager ruben amorim, who's labelled his team "maybe the worst" in the history of the club. it follows their 3—1 premier league defeat at home to brighton — their fourth loss in five at old trafford and the tenth game they've lost in total so far this season. a disastrous mistake from united keeper andre onana allowed brighton's georginio rutter to round off the win for the visitors. it leaves united 13th in the table within ten points of the bottom three. amorim insists he's going to keep his 3—4—3 formation,

despite admitting his players are struggling to adapt. i'm not going to change, no matter what, and i know we can succeed but we need to survive this moment because i'm not naive and i know that we need to survive now. so we are being the worst team maybe in the history of manchester united — i know that you want headlines — but i am saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that. i'm very happy and proud for the team because they showed commitment this week. they had a tough period where they showed great performances but didn't get the result what they deserve and today, they completely get what they deserve. they worked hard, they did the details right, the small margins to win a game here, and therefore, i'm really proud and happy for them. before the game at old trafford, tributes were paid to former united striker denis law, who died on friday. a piper there leading

the teams out and legends sir alex ferguson, pat crerand, alex stepney and brian kidd were all present too. sir alex ferguson here laying a wreath on the centre circle before a minute's applause. well, he was manchester united manager for only a season — david moyes, now back at everton, has his first win since returning to manage the club — a 3—2 win over tottenham at goodison park which piles the pressure on spurs boss ange postecoglou, who's seen his side lose 12 of their 22 premier league games this season. everton were 3—0 up at half—time before tottenham rallied late on. everton are 16th, four points clear of the relegation zone and nowjust four points behind spurs. i think we — getting the three points will give us a lot of confidence — i can tell in the dressing room, you know? i thought it wasn't — it was a wee bit unlike us to concede goals because in the main, we're quite strong defensively. but again, you mustn't
4:48 am
take anything away from what tottenham can do. tottenham can beatjust about any team on their day and thankfully, we stopped them. yeah, look, it was a tough result for us and, you know, we — obviously, first half we struggled to get control of the game. obviously, you know, i made some changes in the team that probably weren't helpful in the end. you know, the players kinda struggled to come to terms with that, everton capitalised on it. but second half, you know, the players, you know, put in the right response and, you know, credit to them but we obviously fell short. it's three premier league wins from four for manchester city now, who looked like their old selves as they got their biggest premier league win of the season by thrashing third from bottom ipswich 6—0. phil foden scoring twice at portman road, erling haaland on the scoresheet, too, in a win that moves city back into the top four — still 12 points behind the leaders liverpool, who have a game in hand.
4:49 am
it's notjust to winning titles, it's thejoy to do yourjob your best. it doesn't matter if you are a professional oi’ you are an amateur. it doesn't matter if you are an actor in london or in a little theatre in sheffield, it doesn't matter. those guys in sheffield, they love to do this and this is what you have to recall. they tried to play good, to enjoy notjust for the three points for this kind of stuff. painful game for us. beaten by, you know, a world—class side and they were too good for us on the day. there was positives in the early parts of the game. we actually had a lot of good moments in the first 20—25 minutes but after the first goal, they hit, you know, top form, top confidence. we weren't able to find a response and we weren't able to stop them today, so, yeah. we weren't at our best, they were outstanding and when that's the case, the gulf between us was too much on the day. nottingham forest are back
4:50 am
level on points with second—placed arsenal after beating southampton 3—2 at the city ground. nuno espirito santo's side returned to winning ways. it was nervy at the end against the league's bottom side. elliot anderson scoring his first for the club with callum hudson—odoi, and who else but chris wood getting on the scoresheet, too, before southampton hit back with two goals. but it was ultimately too little, too late. they remain ten points adrift of safety whilst forest are third, six points behind liverpool, having played a game more. this is — never, the game is never over. every team competes very well. southampton is competing really, really well. made our second half really hard. they are playing, and credit for them to survive. they fight every ball, all the duels — that's a warning for us. they scored, like, first two goals really ridiculous. and second half yeah, second half last 30 minutes
4:51 am
we fight, we play with the energy, we scored two goals, aina saved another one and that's what i want to see. here, then, is how the top of the english premier league looks: chelsea to play wolves on monday. while at the bottom: two goals from kylian mbappe helped real madrid come from behind to beat las palmas and go top of la liga. real trailed after the first minute but went on to win 4—1.
4:52 am
their opponents played the last half hour or so with ten men. it means they are two points clear of their city rivals atletico. there were also wins for athletic bilbao. barcelona defender alejandro balde says he was racially abused by getafe supporters during saturday's 1—1 draw at the coliseum. it led to strong words from his manager hansi flick. there is no space for this in football or in life, you know? this is unbelievable. and this now, the time that we have now, it's totally wrong and they have to stay at home, not go there maybe to a match — they have to stay at home. so, and i think we have to fight against them. it's the best thing, you know? everyone, but we also — the people around them,
4:53 am
they can also do something. in italy, second—placed inter milan are within three points of the leaders napoli at the top of the table with a game in hand after a 3—1 win over empoli, all the goals coming in the second half in that one. ten years after winning his first masters title, shaun murphy has done it again, beating kyren wilson by 10 frames to seven in a thrilling final at alexandra palace. murphy led 6—2 at the end of the first session. he was 7—3 up. wilson fought back valiantly, only for murphy to hold his nerve and win the tournament for a second time. he was the best player all week and made a 147 maximum break in his semifinal, remember. finished off there
4:54 am
with a fabulous 100 break, winning just over $100,000 to boot. well, england's tyrrell hatton also held his nerve at the final hole to edge out daniel hillier and win the dubai desert classic by one shot. hatton needed a par putt to win and made it, finishing with a three—under 69 and a 15—under total to secure his eighth dp tour title, which moves him to the top of the race to dubai rankings. i was very nervous over that last putt. to be honest, i was pretty nervous for most of the back nine, i think because this tournament means a lot to me and it's such an iconic event and one that i really wanted to have on the cv and, yeah, it feels amazing to add my name to the list of amazing champions that've been before me. just enough time to recap our top story — manchester united's dismal 3—1 defeat at home to brighton drawning fierce criticism of the team from their manager ruben amorim, who described his side as "maybe the worst" in the history of the club. their fourth loss in five at old trafford,
4:55 am
the tenth time they've lost in total so far this season. more reaction on the bbc sport website. but from me and the team, that's all. goodbye. hello. most eyes may be on the us for the presidential inauguration on monday but for us weatherfolk, it's the atmosphere that's caught the attention. a surge of bitterly cold arctic air all the way to the gulf of mexico and florida clashing with warmer atlantic and gulf of mexico air to fire up an exceptionally strong jet stream. really quick transatlantic flights expected this week but we are also breaking down the weather patterns and firing deep and stormy areas of low pressure towards the environment around the uk.
4:56 am
so, there is that potential we could start to enter a stormier period later this week. more rain around, some snow in the hills and the potential for some impactful winds, too. so, that's really from thursday onwards. to begin with over the next few days, we've got barely a breeze. not a huge amount of change. weatherfronts, though, early on monday across scotland, northern ireland bringing patchy rain and that quickly spreads in across northern england, north wales, and later to the north midlands and lincolnshire. spots of rain and drizzle here, maybe a bit damp towards the southwest, too. scotland, northern ireland brighten up. if you get any brightness, though, across the south, you'll be lucky after a cold, frosty and, in places, foggy start. still plenty of cloud around and one or two spots struggling to get above freezing — although western scotland, northern ireland, up to around 10 degrees. a few showers here as you go through monday night. still a weather front stranded through parts of northern england, north and west wales, with some damp and drizzly weather at times. to the south of it, a few cloud
4:57 am
breaks could give some frost but also some patches of fog and a frost still possible to the northeast of scotland. now, for tuesday, sunny spells for scotland, northern ireland. a few showers, although southern scotland linked into this weather system that's still across northern england, north and west wales with occasional rain. south and east of that, we'll see some sunny spells just about break through. there could be some lingering fog patches but overall, still a fairly cool day. weather patterns do look fairly static, though, tuesday into wednesday, but notice this deep area of low pressure across iberia — some pretty unpleasant conditions in portugal over the next few days — and a finger of that could just extend towards the southeast in the channel islands into wednesday, bringing some longer spells of rain. other than that, still a weather front across northern england, another damp day here, and more cloud with a greater risk of fog across scotland and northern ireland. but it's after that things start to turn increasingly stormy. wet and windy for many on thursday but the worst of the winds, certainly, on friday. take care.
