in history, yes, but not to win the premier league or be on top. and he did it. in three or four years, he built something marvellous to watch. pleasantries aside, when the two sides meet, it matters. the only game liverpool lost was to city, effectively costing them the title. when they reunited for the community shield, it took penalties to separate them. so the two league defeats city have since suffered take on added importance. as does the absence of city's star keeper. in the past, it has overheated. city's coach has been bottled outside anfield and have asked for assurances there will not be a repeat. hope it does not happen again. the police knew, but didn't do anything in the champions league before. i don't know what they are going to do. we all did not throw the bottle or whatever it was, but it was one of us. so that is why we are responsible for that and have to make sure all of us have to make sure that something like this will not happen again ever. whatever the result, it will come with an asterisk, city know how to chase liverpool never give in,

this was a brilliant, typically frenetic premier league match. that opener for villa came through trezeguet, the egyptian, on the end of a free—kick. there was then var controversy when liverpool had a goal for firmino ruled out debatably for offside, the premier league even released a statement to clear up this decision — they said it was his armpit that had gone beyond the defender. i'm sure there'll be plenty of discussion about the incident this week. in the end that didn't matter, becausejurgen klopp‘s side equalised in the 87th minute through andy robertson, in the circumstances that late goal might‘ve felt like a victory in itself, but then in stoppage time, they snatched all three points through the glancing head of sadio mane. absolute heartbreak for aston villa who for three quarters of this match thought they were on for a famous win, but liverpool remain six points clear at the top, and 28 games unbeaten. we started off well football—wise, but i didn't like it still 100%. it's playful with words, we played a bit too much her

here it is that he made his premier league debut at the age of 33. the son of west ham legend and a very proud moment for him. struggling to fight back the tears. i real day to remember. he was what he has been saying in the press conference. he said, my dad not so much. i think they were both in tears. my dad play for the club for 21 years and to see me make my debut keep a clear sheet to get a win for the boys, it is so pleasing. it was remarkable day for him. there's hearfrom the manager. he never played before in the premier league but i think that he did very well. the personality to play and i think a complete team and our defenders helped him not to keep that. eight earth model where crystal palace beat burnley 2— nil. it was pallas's first trip outside of london since august. having seen manchester city getjust a point at newcastle at lucnhtime, just one more 3 o'clock kick off to tell you about. it was at turf moor where crystal palace beat burnley 2—0. it was in fact, by some quirk of the schedules, palaces first trip outside of london

the premier league is undoubtedly the best marketed league in the world. some say it's also the best thanks to the stadiums. and the stars. but not when it comes to match attendance is. because number one is not the premier league but the german bundesliga. so why is the bundesliga the clear winner. first of all tickets in germany. affordable that's probably the biggest difference of the premier league in the bundesliga the cheapest average matchday ticket is just 15 year olds in england it's $34.00 more than twice the price. in germany you can even get some tickets for less than 10 euros and it hurts a village kids under the age of 14 can get into the olympic stadium for free. but it's not just the cheap tickets. the main factor is germany's modern stadiums germany has state of the arenas with huge capacities they're simply bigger than the ones in england. and. most of them were built in renovated for the 2006 world cup. the whole country was excited about hosting the tournament which gave football already the most popular sport in germany an even bigger

five premier league wins in a row for chelsea left them in good shape heading into this fixture with crystal palace. and after an incredible midweek champions league comeback, they were full of confidence.

and tottenham's run without a premier league win continues? that's right tottenham continuing to struggle this season. a big result in europe in midweek but once again they couldn't back it up next time out, they were held to a 1—1 draw at home to sheffield united. before the game, tottenham were five places below the visitors and they looked every bit of it in the first half. sheffield united the much better team. lyss moussett with their best chance of a number of them. but with the quality tottenham have, if you don't take your chances. they can make you pay and son heung—min did just that. his 3rd goal in 4 days gave spurs the lead. however, sheffield united hit straight back. david mcgoldrick with the tap in, at the back post, until, after a three minute check, it was ruled out for offside by var. literally, half a toe over the line, in the build up, denied sheffield united the goal. you'll have to see it back on match of the day later to believe how close it was. but luckily for the blood pressure of plenty of sheffield fans, they go

now, with a month to go until christmas, welcome to the premier league's sacking season. mauricio pochettino's already lost his job at tottenham while everton‘s marco silva and west ham's manuel pellegrini are both thought to be under pressure. there's also attention on arsenal's unai emery, after his side's 2—2 draw with southampton left them eighth in the premier league. a group of fans have released a statement calling for "urgent action". patrick gearey reports on what's going wrong at the emirates. this is not the sound of a club in harmony, only two minutes early arsenal had snatched a late equaliser against southampton. but such was the performance they made at the emirates was not one of celebration. it is not a good result for us. obviously we play at home, survey have to win games at home. the supporters can be frustrated, they can be angry with us. they gambling has been slowly rising. arsenal did not make the champions league last season and there is concerned able miss out again this time. monday supporters group issued a statement critical of the owner.

the ‘special one' is back in the premier league. jose mourinho has been appointed tottenham manager, after the north london club sacked mauricio pochettino last night. but the former manchester united and chelsea boss faces a huge challenge — with his new side currently struggling so far this season. our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports. arriving at training, well drilled to keep quiet. the tottenham players in no mood this morning to discuss the tumultuous 11 hours that saw mauricio pochettino sa nt the tumultuous 11 hours that saw mauricio pochettino sant and jose mourinho brought in. rumours had been swelling but it had come out of the blue. harry kane said on twitter, i will be forever thankful to you for helping me achieve my dreams. you were my to you for helping me achieve my dreams. you were my manager to you for helping me achieve my dreams. you were my manager but my friend as well. other players were trying to get their head around it. it was a big shock, he has been amazing to work with for the past five year

we will talk about the premier league manager under pressure. brunei emery is one of those and some fans want him out. we will tell you the five nominees for sports personality of the year that we know about so far with just one more yet to be announced. hello. let's start withjofra archer — because the england fast bowler says he was subjected to racist abuse by a spectator during the final day of their first test defeat to new zealand. he made the claim on social media. the ecb and new zealand cricket are looking into it. well, our correspondent katie gornall is here. what more have we learnt today? well, i think it's interesting just how this news emerged because it was chopper archer who revealed it. joffre archer. —— 23. once he had got —— jofra archer. he was... after he tweeted about it the cricket board apologised to him. they said they're going to look through cctv and investigate and try and find out the man responsible. they also said that there will be increased vigilance. they said at the next test, in hamilton in a few da

but they are worried the product of the premier league is being damaged? they are at the meeting was described as fractious. there were some chairmen like david gold, who think everything is ok. 0thers some chairmen like david gold, who think everything is ok. others who really, really don‘t. i guess that depends whether you are a club who have been at the wrong end of these decisions. christian purslow said it there, the premier league want greater consistency, they want faster decisions and they want the communication inside the stadiums, to be better. what they accept it as they cannot make wholesale changes now, nobody is thinking about getting rid of var. big changes cannot be made now partway through the season, because the feeling is that would damage the integrity of the competition. but what can happen is that fans inside the stadiums in particular can be told what is happening. so instead of, as i saw at old trafford on sunday, a simple var check been put up on the scoreboard, the message will be, var check for a penalty. var check for handball

even the premier league superstars are only human. everton‘s man had just seen his to make his team—mate break his leg. they had not been in the league since january and they started this match in 13th place. they hoped that their season was kick—starting. nicotine, his personal farm has been kick—starting. nicotine, his personalfarm has been slow kick—starting. nicotine, his personal farm has been slow to start going. soon, the argument was put in perspective. everton‘s portuguese midfielder, andrea gomez fell to the ground. park could not look. a red ca rd ground. park could not look. a red card for the south korean, it almost felt like a mercy. the time it took gomez to see clearly the field late everton 12 minutes to find a goal. it came last, but what ijust happen, the stadium had new priorities news of gomez could come later this evening, but those who sought up close and need every comfort. that was a very difficult moment for us as if it were, in her dressing room under group, but we have to be strong. ijoe gomez w

is nothing like doing ten premier league games over the weekend, we realise that so we know we are going to be scrutinised, we know there are people who are going to look at our every move but i am comfortable where we are and no doubt there is room for improvement, speed wise, at cetera, we will get there but for me, been a work in progress. 0nto the para athletics world championships next where 0mara durand won the 10th gold medal in ten years in the t12100 metres. her last defeat was back in 2008 at the beijing paralympics. with more in a busy day for the cuban and the rest of the day five action in dubai, here's kate grey. there has been plenty of exciting racing on the track here in dubai on day five of these championships. none more so than the men's t 5a 1500m. in the final stages, it was the thai racer who came through to ta ke the thai racer who came through to take the gold and then silver to the chinese racer who came from nowhere. i really interesting race. in these championships. there was also a great race in the men's t 6a— 100m great race in the men's t 64—100m which

the champions league at porto, three premier league titles in two spells at chelsea, another champions league at intermilan, la liga at real madrid, and the europa league at manchester united. but there the fans grew weary at his style of play. by the time he was sacked, mourinho didn‘t seem quite so special. he‘s a dated manager, you know, the way he plays his football, it‘s of a time gone past. the way he plays his football, i don‘t think it‘s the tottenham way. the reason why we are allowed to dream the way we are is because of pochettino. so, to diminish that and completely disregard everything he's done in the last five and a half years is quite disrespectful. never before have spurs hired a manager as demanding or as confrontational asjose mourinho. it doesn‘t feel a natural fit. but with this £1 billion new stadium and a talented squad, they‘ll hope he can harness their ambition and deliver the trophies they crave, but it is a gamble. dan roan, bbc news, at the tottenham hotspur stadium. great britain have won their first tie at the new look davis cup finals in ma

he's had some interesting press conferences in the premier league over the years — there was the special one. the special one times two. then, there was the happy one. today, in his first news conference as tottenham manager, jose mourinho said he was the humble one. the former chelsea and manchester united boss went on to say he wouldn't be making the same mistakes as he did at previous clubs. you never lose your dna, you never lose your identity. you are what you are, for the good things, for the bad things. i had time to think about many things. during my career, i made mistakes and i'm knocking to make the same mistakes. —— not going to make the same mistakes. i'm going to make new mistakes. but i think i am stronger by the emotional point of view. i'm relaxed, iam motivated, iam ready. i think they have to see me as mr club, which means every club that i go, as i used to say in a funny way, i arrive, i wear the pyjama of the club and i even sleep with the pyjama. i am a clubman. but many clubs man. i am not chelsea, i am not united, i am not real madrid. i am all of them. i give
