England sailed close to there adam. England sailed close to the wind, didnt they . These two sides never disappoint and wales, they were looking for that rare victory and they pushed them all the way. Yes, it has been quite some afternoon here at twickenham. The game for large parts of it was
unyieshl as many of the circumstances surrounding it. You remember coming into the game, the fa ns remember coming into the game, the fans arriving here at twickenham, we re fans arriving here at twickenham, were greeted with walls of Hand Sanitisers and Health Officials on hand dishing out advice, the bid to stem the spread of coronavirus very much front and centre in the build up much front and centre in the build up to this match. But given the postponements and precaution, i think many of the fan, the one i was speaking to were delighted this match was go i ade, and as you say what a match it was. England got off toa what a match it was. England got off to a blistering start, watsons try after just a few to a blistering start, watsons try afterjust a few moments. He danced his way to the line, wales defence just could not cope with him. That gave england the perfect start, have however, wales managed to keep in touch with penalties and just before half time, england struck what they thought for the first half at least was the decisive blow. Daley getting
the ball out wide before squeezing in at the corner. That gave him, england a great lead at the half time, but wales came out at blistering pace. A try from tipuric they thought for the first half at least was the decisive blow. Daley getting the ball out wide before squeezing in at the corner. That gave him, england a great lead at the half time, but wales came out at blistering pace. A try from tipuric straight from the tick kick off. He went from one end of the pitch to the other. It is one of the tries of the other. It is one of the tries of the tournament so far. Quite extraordinary try. That gave wales an extraordinary boost. Tuilagi pulled one back for england, and that the point you thought england we re that the point you thought england were going to see this one out. But tuilagi was sent off for this shoulder charge on the wales winger george north. It was a straight red card, it took a while to reach that decision but red card it was, and one player in the sin bin already england were down to 13, wales making the most of those extra numbers scoring two late tries
through biggar and tipuric. But 3330 the through biggar and tipuric. But 33 30 the final score, it was enough to sealfor 33 30 the final score, it was enough to seal for england the triple crown. They said very much in the build up to this, the triple crown wasnt something that was particularly in their thoughts, they will be delighted nonetheless to have secured it. For wales, that is their third conebbing istive defeat. Not the start to their six nations they would have liked. Consecutive. England as you said can still win this six nations, france will have plenty to say about that, they can still win the grand slam. They play scotland tomorrow but this six nations is as unpredictable as it is tight. Thank you. The womens six nations england claim the triple crown after thrashing wales 66 7. They were nearly 11,000 people at the stoop, with some fun fancy dress too. That isa with some fun fancy dress too. That is a record for an england womens
game outside of the world cup and they were treated with plenty of tries too. Ten in total including this one from katie daley mclean. England are one win away from a second grand slam but they dont know when they will play their game against italy, because of the coronavirus. Let us move on the football. On the premier league. Liverpool are now just three wins or if you like nine points away from ta First Premier League title that the fans have craved for so long. There were some nerves though ahead of kick off against bournemouth with liverpool having lost in the league for the first time this season last time out and they looked to be struggling with the weight of expectation. When things arent going your way it is nice to return to home comforts. Three successive away defeats has seen liverpools season just start to stutter. Bournemouth have been stuttering for too long. Starting the day in the relegation zone, they needed to show some fight. Wilson provided it. No foul on gomes, play
allowed to continue and wilson able to finish what he started. Liverpool needed a response, they got one, via a huge helping hand. Simpson dithered and delayed. Mane was direct. Salah clinical. A goal on his 100th premier League Appearance and a goal that changed the momentum. Liverpool on top an soon in front, anfield found its roar once again. And if you are going to win a title you need everyone to play their part. Step forward captainjames milner, leading by example. The home side pushed for a third. Mane came close. Firmino should have done better. In the end two goals were enough, a record breaking 22nd home league win in a row. Three more will bring the title home. So just three bring the title home. Sojust three more bring the title home. So just three more wins needed for lip to take their First Premier League title and their first for 30 year, their manager as you would expect is taking it game by game
we have 82 points which is nice, we have to carry on fighting, tuesday, then monday, and saturday, i think, so that is how it is now, so, yeah, we will, we have to give everyone who wants the points from us, a proper properfight who wants the points from us, a proper proper fight hand who wants the points from us, a proper properfight hand is who wants the points from us, a proper proper fight hand is what we did today, and yeah, thats it. There there is lots more going on in the premier league. Austin has all the premier league. Austin has all the details for us, especially with the details for us, especially with the battle at the bottom. Lots of games all important ones at the bottom of the table today. But i will start with a really interesting result, another big win for Sheffield United, what a season they are having. Theirfan, they must be questioning what all the fuss is about in the top flights right now. They are up to sixth, after another win, they beat norwich 1 0 at bramall lane, so that means norwich of course stay bottom. Seven points from safety for them. Just 12 months ago, this was a championship fixture, norwich eventually going on to edge out Sheffield United and
lift the championship title. Last season. But what contrasting fortu nes season. But what contrasting fortunes they are having right now norwich fighting for their lives and sheffield are eyeing a place if europe. Their main man last season was this man, billy sharpe, he was the leading goal scorer and he was backin the leading goal scorer and he was back in the goals again. A deserved lead for them but norwich were inches away from an equalise e you canjust inches away from an equalise e you can just about see the ball there cleared off the line by the goalkeeper dean henderson. He has a brilliant match, so Sheffield United, they are only two points off the top four but there is lots to thank that man there. Dean henderson for crucial saves today but the manager, he is not an easy man to impress. How has he got man of the match . He has only made a couple of saves, he hasnt had to run round for 90 minutes. He stands in the goal and the ball comes to him. He does what he has to do, and he has done what he needed to do today for the team. Now, the battle at the bottom. It is
only goal difference that is keeping west ham out of those relegation place, but when you need a win, the last tea m place, but when you need a win, the last team you want to face the you are davies moyes is arsenal. No manager in the premier league has played a team as many times without winning, in15 played a team as many times without winning, in 15 matches before todays game he drawn four and lost 11. And his team today, they couldnt help him break the trend. 10 couldnt help him break the trend. 1 0 they were beaten at the emirates, west ham were the seam who flew out quickest. Bowen hitting the post in the first few minutes but that was as close as they came to a goal. It did look destined for a draw, until Alex Lacazette pull the ball in late on. It was initially ruled out for offside by v amalfitano came to their rescue. The goal correctly given in the end, and that was all they needed. So a boost for them and their hopes of finishing in the top four, up to ninth now as for west ham they will gutted not to have taken anything from that game because they will
have to find it really hard now to get points from wolves tottenham and chelsea next. We done really well but the result wasnt good. Mistakes were up front. We had chances to win the game, chances to score goals, we didnt get them. We made mistakes defensively, but the opportunities were there today, to win the game, and we didnt take them. That win means arsenal are aint po behind tottenham after spurs could only draw away at burnley. When you are on a poor run of form it can feel like everything is against you. Tottenhams eric dyer does at least have his bosss backing following his foray into the crowd after the fa cup defeat to norwich but things didnt get better for him against burnley. His clea ra nce for him against burnley. His clearance giving rodriguez the chance to test the returning lloris. Chris wood making the most of the save to claim his 11th goal of the season. Burnley were hungry for
more. Lloris was managing to keep them at bay but tottenham were struggling to pose any threat. This the best they could manage in the first half. Someone needed to give them a helping hand and fortunately for burnley it was their captain ben mee. Dele allis equaliser failed to change the flow of the match though. Spurs were desperately hanging on for a point. Dyers intervention crucial. As was lloriss. Mourinho maintained his personal unbeaten record against burnley and spurs avoided a Third Straight defeat but a point apiece is not enough for either sides ambitions. Is both teams dropping places from where they started. The day. Seven days ago, watt fort made the entire football world stand up with that that surprise victory over liverpool but today it was really back to reality, with a bit of a bang. They we re reality, with a bit of a bang. They were beaten away at Crystal Palacean aint league goal from this were beaten away at Crystal Palace an aint league goalfrom this man was the difference for palace. His goal enough to give them a Third Straight win in the premier league. So not a bad return for the manager, who just so not a bad return for the manager, whojust signed so not a bad return for the manager, who just signed a contract extension yesterday. As for watford the highs of beating liverpool long for gotten now. Like west ham they are only above the bottom three on goal difference. Finally there is time to show you all the results from the 3. 00 kick offs, two i havent mentioned. Newcastle put a bit of distance between them and bottom three with a 1 0 win at southampton and wolves and brighton, a 0 0 draw that one, not a classic, probably destined for last spot on match testify day. In scotland, it wasnt too long ago we had really close contest between celtic and rangers for the premiership title but at southampton and wolves and brighton, a 0 0 draw that one, not a classic, probably destined for last spot on match testify day. In scotland, it wasnt too long ago we had really close contest between
celtic and rangers for the premiership title but as rangers have substitutele stuttered their rivals have got stronger. Celtic are 16 points clear at the top of the league thanks to a 5 0 win today. Leigh griffiths the star with a hat trick. Rangers play tomorrow, hearts remain bottom of the league after a one all draw with motherwell wind chill all of todays scores and reaction are of course on the bbc sport website and app. Let us run through some of the other stories making the headline today.

Our Sports Correspondent is in new jersey for us, and katie, this is turning into an important game for england and fill neville, that because they have lost six in the last nine games. Phil. You are right. Its a huge game for england this one. Notjust because they need a win to stand any chance of retaining the shebelieves cup, but also because they want to stop that worrying run of form that you mentioned there. You could say there is no shame in losing to the usa that. They are the world champions after all. The manner of the performance, and the defeat, in
orlando has done little to suggest they are getting any closer to the usa, to overhauling them as the best tea m usa, to overhauling them as the best team in the world, which is phil anelkas ambition and he stated it repeatedly. If anything it looked like they took a backward step against them in orlando, although when phil neville was asked act that after the game he denied that was the case. There was some positive, Lauren Health minister the 19 year old forward had an excellent game. She may get an opportunity in the next game againstjapan a long with some of the other young player. Japan lost their first game 3 1. There were a few defensive mistakes in that one. They will want to tighten up but its a huge game for england and phil neville who is under pressure. He knows only a win will stop that pressure from intensifying. You can of course follow coverage of englands match against japan tomorrow, it is on bbc four, the iplayer and the bbc sport website, from 7. 00. Now let us move on the golf. When tiger woods won his fifth masers
title it was one of the greatest come back in the history of sport. It had been 11 years since he had won a major following serious knee and back problems as well as some well documented scandals off the course. So fan also be on tenterhooks to find if he will be fit to play in the masters after he said he was struggling with a stiff back. Our golf correspondent ian carter says woods is in a race to be fit for augusta. He had a stiff back the last time that he played. That was in mid february in los angeles, and didnt play at his best in tournament that is very important to him. He is the principle supporter of that event, so that was a disappointment. We havent seen him play since, but i think this is a big blow, and it is certainly an indicator that things are far from
