for the first time since 2002, and they have done things the hard way. prior to the tournament, seven players refused to honour international call ups for various reasons, and even during the tournament there was a bonus round involving the players and theirfederation. bonus round involving the players and their federation. in the final they didn't do anything easily. egypt lost mohammed

that already, for sure, and just afterfull—time... at that moment, i knew we were going to be victors by the end, because we had the position on the ball. first time it was a bit difficult, but in the second half, the cross was a great one. when we came back to the second half, we made it easy, and the changes the coach made were great for us. because of those changes, we are victorious. we are very happy and we hope more victories like this will come. champions leicester city are very much in a relegation battle after a 3—0 home defeat to manchester united left them just one point off the bottom three. united, on the other hand, are nowjust two points off the top four. just before half—time henrik mikitarian scored and zlatan ibrahimovic doubled the lead just 90 seconds later. juan

year and have now lost four in a row. united are now unbeaten in 15 league games and one point off fifth placed liverpool. yeah, really important for us. we lost two points in the last match at home. we were three consecutive premier league matches withdraws. we needed the points. the performance was more of the same, more of the same. we play well, we are playing well, we are controlling matches. the performance was more of the same — with goals. until the girl, we were good, strong, we tried to do our match, tried to close the space, but after two goals in two minutes, we lost our strength, our shape also. we wanted to do something good, also, at the beginning of the second half, but we conceded at the beginning, and this was so hard, so fast, and easy for the united players. an injury time winner from manchester city's gabriel jesus gave pep guardiola's side all three points against swansea city in sunday's early premier league game. the brazilian striker, who joined city last month, gave them an early lead, but swansea looked like they were heading for a point when gilfy sigurdson grabbed an equaliser in the final ten minutes. the win takes guardiola's side back into the

denis shapovalov was defaulted from the decisive match for hitting the umpire in the eye with a ball seemingly struck in anger. kyle edmund had just broken serve to lead 6—3, 6—4, 2—1 when frustration

championship. the world light heavyweight champion andre ward says he would give sergei kovalev a rematch. ward won a controversial decision when the pair met last year in a unification match. speaking exclusively to the bbc, ward talked about the tough moments in their first fight, including getting knocked down. i know what i have in me. i don't get a lot of credit for having a good chin, for being tough. sometimes i get tagged as being slick. but there's so much more going on inside that square circle than me being slick, and i had to prove it. i knew it had to be a tough fight. but when i went down, i didn't panic. it's ok, let's go. and it's the worst mistake he could have made because it woke me up, and from there, we went to work. it's not ideal but that's my favourite performance based on the way i responded and my team. he has been complaining that he felt he was robbed. do you want to fight him ain? robbed. do you want to fight him again? if this situation is right, i have no problem fighting him. it's interesting that i pushed for this fight. he didn't push for it. there's nothing scary about this quy: there's nothing scary about this guy, and that's what he has that understand. he acts as if there is the music that turns on when he walks in a room. i'm not buying it. i've shown that i can take his best and beat him. he can argue about the decision. that's fine. at the end of the day, what he has to realise is that he didn't have an answer. to the nba where russell westbrook scored 42 points to lead the oklahoma city thunder to a 105—99 win over the visiting portland trail blazers on sunday. the 28—year—old produced his 25th triple—double of the season on friday to propel the side to a 114—102 victory over the grizzlies and was in fine form on home court in this match as well. oklahoma's poor shooting percentage helped give portland a six—point advantage at half time but westbrook led the way as his side claimed a six—point win. just enough time to let you know that the atlanta falcons have scored a fourth touchdown early in the third quarter of their super bowl li against the new england patriots. so it is 28- against the new england patriots. so it is 28— three, coleman adding to touchdowns from matt ryan, devonta freeman and robert alford. it's all going wrong for the patriots and they are looking for victory under tom brady, his fifth, but it doesn't look at the moment like it's going to happen, 28— three to the falklands. everything else on the website. goodbye. hello there. it has been a bit of a mixed weekend, weatherwise. temperatures have been slowly dipping down by a few degrees. this is how we ended the day in studland, dorset. you can see the sunset over poole harbour there, a very serene scene, with the murmuration too. by monday morning, many of us are likely to see some frost and some fog, so a bit of a wintry flavour to the weather to start off your new working week. so let's look at first thing monday morning. temperatures, even in our towns and cities, really a degree or so either side of freezing. it could be quite a bit colder than that in the countryside first thing. so a sharp frost, and then later in the day we see low pressure approaching from the atlantic, bringing rain to western parts of the uk on that weather front. but to start things off, then, monday morning at 8:00am, cold and clear across much of wales, southern and central england. the odd pocket of fog around, particularly across parts of eastern england, and certainly some frost here. cloudier skies towards the far west of england, western parts of wales, and northern ireland, too, but chilly for much of northern ireland, northern england and scotland. we have some frost first thing in the morning, and some mist and some fog patches to watch out for as well. so take care on the roads, because we have got that frost, and also the fog around. through the course of the day we will see that front moving into western areas, so the winds picking up for northern ireland, wales, the south—west of england, too, with the arrival of some rain. central and eastern parts of the country remaining dry, certainly with less windy and colder, too, with temperatures around five in the east, ten further west. moving through monday evening and overnight, increasingly that rain will turn to snow over the high ground, as it makes its way eastwards across northern england, and scotland, too. further south it will be falling as rain. and once that rain clears through, early on tuesday, we are looking at, again, some fogginess first thing in the morning. so this is how tuesday looks. we have got this weather front which is sitting across eastern parts of the uk. it bumps into high pressure, which is situated across scandinavia, and that means the weather front won't be going anywhere in a hurry. so it remains fairly cloudy towards the east. a few spots of rain, a slice of sunshine for the likes of scotland, northern ireland and wales, but then further rain working into the south—west late in the day, and temperatures a touch milder than recent days, between around about 6—10 degrees. then, heading through into wednesday, a quieter day here. we have got that front in the eastjust fading away, so still quite cloudy towards the east, but it should be dry. some brighter skies, particularly for parts of wales, the south—west of england, too, and temperatures generally between about 4—9 degrees on wednesday. and then, towards the end of the week the milder air is pushed away, and what we are going to see is colder conditions coming in from the east. bye for now. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm chris rogers. our top
