Malins 2, Gonzalez, and Farrell 3 Drop-goal: Farrell
Bath (17) 36
As Bath moved top of the Prem after Henry Arundell’s late try, Bath won..
The reining champions won 19 unanswered points from the end to move them three points clear of Saracens in six games and sixth.
The hosts held the hosts to a five-point lead at break thanks to two tries from Max Malins and one from Juan Martin Gonzalez, who both scored for Bath.
The visitors took the lead for the first time in the match thanks to Will Butt and Arthur Green’s goals, but Gonzalez’ second saw off a grandstand finish of 29-29.

After a nice pass from Elliot Daly, who was making his first club appearance of the season, Lucio Cinti and Malins combined on the left to give the home side a strong start to the match and took the lead within three minutes.
After a superb pass from Owen Farrell found Ben Earl to break through to set up the try, Bath struggled to get in the game and went 14-0 down.
However, Finn Russell’s penalty was immediately followed up by Arundell, who stepped inside to intercept and sprint home from his own 22 in a split second.
Tom Willis was injured in the 20th minute, and Earl, who had been a flanker, was forced to start Nick Isiekwe.
After Theo Dun had gotten to the line, Malins scored his second when Daly found him in all kinds of space, and Farrell kicked a drop-goal just as the score gave Malins a 22-10 lead.

After Bath had won the penalty, Butt dipped over to the corner after going up the lead for the first time in the match by missing the conversion attempt.
Russell opened the scoring just before the end, with Arundell kick to bring Ben Spencer inside and Green applying the finish to secure their fourth try and bonus point.
Eroni Mawi’s knock-on attempt caused the Saracens to lose, but the hosts were given a penalty for offside against Russell, and Gonzalez eventually dipped over the line after being under constant pressure to get rid of Bath’s 19 unanswered scored.
With less than 20 minutes left, Farrell scored the final score of 29-29 before Bath rolled the dice and immediately placed all seven substitutes.

After a swarm of vile trolls, the 36-year-old is said to be “really upset” and having a hard time adjusting.
Stacey Solomon has been left devastated following a fresh wave of online trolling, with sources claiming her husband Joe Swash has had to step in to “pick up the pieces” after the cruel comments took their toll.
The star, 36, is said to be feeling “really upset” and struggling to cope after vile trolls piled in, labelling the former Loose Women panellist a “diva brat”, “talentless” and “incredibly fake”.
One even called her “insufferable,” and according to a source, the beloved TV host and influencer has been turned off by the insults.

Our source claims that Stacey reads the comments and becomes very upset. Joe is being very supportive, but being well-known doesn’t always make her feel good, and she struggles with that.
Stacey still “finds it difficult to be criticised,” according to reports that she claimed last year that she had “made peace” with trolls and found them “hilarious.” While hubby Joe is attempting to be a beacon of support, he hopes it will all “blow over.”
Our source continues, “She just needs to remember that she’s done really well for herself, but she just takes it all very personally.” She’s just trying to get through it at this point, and Joe is attempting to calm the waters down.
Last month, Stacey publicly expressed concern after she was trolled for posting affiliate links – posts she said she earns a “very small commission” from – on her Instagram account.
She acknowledged that some of her followers had “upsetted” her, adding that she would stop posting the links if it “really offends” people.
She attacked a troll in June, calling her “horrible” and saying she “couldn’t get away from it” despite the fact that she had tried to ignore it. She continued, “Truly, I feel bad for cruel people.”
Stacey’s career has gone from strength to strength since she won over the public on the 2009 series of The X Factor, before going on to be crowned Queen of the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! the following year.
Currently her profile is higher than ever, with five series of her hit BBC makeover show, Sort Your Life Out, under her belt, and her and Joe’s fly-on-the-wall reality show, Stacey & Joe, still going strong.
The Essex-based actress is reported to be worth a staggering £7.3 million earlier this year, but despite her considerable success, down-to-earth Stacey is struggling with the most recent backlash and has reportedly been attacking Joe, 43, in order to make matters worse.
Joe is “very calming,” according to our source, but Stacey can sometimes get upset and Joe is the first to stand by her. He is trying to explain that it isn’t all that bad, but reading the comments makes you feel bad. Stacey takes it very personally.
Stacey has also grown popular on social media thanks to her arts and crafts videos and “tap to tidy” clips, which include her successful TV career and mother to Leighton, 13, Lex, 6, Rose, 4, and Belle, 2, who she shares with Joe and Zachary, both of whom are from previous relationships.
Her whopping 6.1 million Instagram followers have helped her secure lucrative brand deals with retail heavyweights including ASDA, In The Style and Primark. But her success has come at a price and, sadly, the star can no longer rely on her former best friend, fellow influencer Mrs Hinch, after they reportedly fell out over business rivalries.
Sophie Hinchliffe and Stacey and Mrs. Hinchliffe first got together in 2019 and are now best friends. and Sophie, 35, was even a bridesmaid at Stacey and Joe’s wedding in July 2022. But despite social media sensation Sophie appearing on Sort Your Life Out the following year, the pair haven’t been seen together since 2023 and have stopped sharing pictures of one another online.
Stacey and Stacey initially bonded after helping the “cleanfluencer” deal with her overnight fame, including dealing with trolls.
Mum-of-three Sophie opened up about the beginning of their friendship by saying, “One day I received a message from this amazing woman, merely asking me if I’m okay.
She simply knew I wasn’t, she said. I messaged her and asked her how she handled being in the public eye with a newborn.
“And what she said to me was, ‘Right, I’m coming round for a cuppa!’ A cuppa?! I couldn’t believe it! Stacey Solomon in my house?”
She continued, describing her new friend as “just a normal person and a mother trying her best,” and stated that speaking with Stacey made her “ready to face this public eye.”
However, their relationship didn’t last, and it has been reported that Stacey’s online conflicts caused by her and her new job.
It doesn’t seem all that promising, even though our source wants the two to reconcile, not least because Stacey could use a shoulder right now.
Our source claims that Stacey has more on her plate than she should be worrying about Mrs. Hinch right now.

Perhaps Sophie is the recipient of the same unwavering support that Stacey did to her years ago?
Crystal Palace won their first major trophy just six months ago when they defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
The Eagles have struggled to strike a balance between performing domestically and competing in the Conference League.
Even their four Premier League games that followed a European night, including Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United, have failed to win.
After selling Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, manager Oliver Glasner believes the squad is restraining due to a lack of serious investment in them.
“We lacked a couple of chances in the transfer window in July and August to make things easier for us,” said the pair, “but we will stick together and make it better.” According to Glasner, BBC Match of the Day takes place.
The England international made a club-record £60 million, but Palace did not turn that into reinvestment.
The team made six permanent signings and one loan addition, with Spain’s Yeremy Pino making the most money after completing a deal worth up to £26 million.
You should invest rather than save, Glasner advised if you were playing European football for the first time in your history.
“I believe January has already added something.” More than 50% of our games will be played.
“We missed the chance to play an even better season in the summer, but everything was pretty clear and I didn’t say anything,” I said.
However, Palace’s story is not entirely doom and gloom.
With their position ninth in the Premier League after Sunday’s defeat, they are only two points clear of Brighton, who is fifth.
In addition to advancing to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, they have won two and lost two games in the Conference League. They are still in contention for a spot in the knockout phase.
However, Glasner worries that the fixture pile-up is beginning to wear off and that fatigue and injuries could cause their fading.
Ismaila Sarr, who scored eight goals in all competitions for the club between 2025 and 2026, was one of her standout players, but she injured her just before half-time against United.
When the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) kicks off next month, the Senegalese forward will also depart for international duty.
When questioned about Sarr, Glasner responded, “His ankle is quite swollen.
We are aware that we will miss him for a short while. We now appear to miss him for longer than that.
Glasner warns against future uncertainty.

Although the squad was not significantly strengthened over the summer, Palace did manage to retain Marc Guehi as captain.
A 35 million deal with Liverpool was on the verge of being completed, with some reports suggesting Glasner threatened to walk if the sale was approved.
Later, Glasner, who has a deal until the summer of 2026, disproved those claims and claimed there were no “bad tensions” with chairman Steve Parish.
Guehi is also out of contract in June, and if he doesn’t agree to a new deal, he could leave for free.
After winning the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt and achieving success in Germany, Austrian Glasner came to Palace with a growing reputation and has continued to do so in England.
When it was thought about Ruben Amorim’s future at Old Trafford, Manchester United claimed to be interested in the 51-year-old over the summer.
Glasner is undoubtedly a winner mentalist, but he feels like the squad lacks depth, holding him back.
We want to succeed and win games in every competition, Glasner said, and patience is not something I should have.
India 349-8: Kohli 135 (120), Rahul 60 (56), Baartman 2-60
South Africa 332 all out: Breetzke 72, Jansen 70, Kuldeep 4-68
India defeated 17 runs to win.
In the first game of their series in Ranchi, India defeated South Africa by 17 runs to claim the most sixes in men’s one-day internationals, according to Rohit Sharma.
Virat Kohli hit a record-extending 52nd ODI century with a brilliantly paced 135 off 120 balls after being asked to bat for India, which ended up 349-8.
For the second wicket, he and Rohit made 136 runs out of 51 balls.
Shahid Afridi’s 15-year record of 351 ODI maximums was broken by Rohit, who already held the record for the most sixes in international cricket (now 642) with three sixes.
When the former captain was fired, India were 161-2 in the 22nd over, and Kohli brilliantly handled the hosts’ run-scoring.
He also hit 60 off 56 balls while standing-in captain KL Rahul, who then assumed his role after Kohli was dismissed, and he also scored 76.
South Africa fell to 11-3 in reply and 130-5, but a 97-run stand from Matthew Breetzke and Marco Jansen gave them hope.
Kuldeep Yadav sent both runners-up in the 34th over, giving South Africa a 228-7 defeat.
Corbin Bosch, who had 67 off 51 balls, and Prenelan Subrayen and Nandre Burger, who both had 17, gave the Proteas 37 from 18 balls.
Bosch skied the second ball from Prasidh Krishna to cover the final inning, farming the strike and turning down singles.

The football pundit revealed that Alex Scott is returning home after leaving the jungle and has a sweet message for her.
The Lioness, 41, became the first star to leave I’m A Celebrity this week and revealed she isn’t staying in Australia until the end of the show as she wants to be by her partner’s side after her mum had a stroke. The evicted celebrities usually stay at the hotel until the final, but Alex said she is motivated to go back to Jess, adding she wants “to go home and be her rock.”
On her part, Jess has continued showing her support for Alex – and last night, she said she can’t wait for her partner to return home. She wrote on social media: “Forever a winner! She walked in that jungle and was nothing but herself from start to finish.”

“We see you, we saw you and we love you! I can’t wait to have you home my woman.” In her Instagram post, Jess was seen wearing a green t-shirt with a photo of Alex and the writing “Alex for the win!” on it. The singer also shared a clip of her and some friends wearing matching t-shirts in support of Alex.
Jess expressed her disappointment with Alex’s elimination, saying she didn’t receive enough airtime. Jess wrote, “I’m so unbelievably proud of my woman, even though she may have left far earlier than she ever did.” She missed the opportunity to demonstrate just how amazing she truly is, and this is only the start, in my opinion.
Jess also explained why she was unable to interact with Alex on the I’m A Celeb bridge, citing that her mother had a “major stroke and had brain surgery.” She wrote, “I’m sure people will ask me why I wasn’t there at the bridge’s end, so I wanted to share something personal.”
My mother had a significant stroke that required urgent brain surgery over the past few weeks. My family has been through a very difficult, life-changing time, and we have been forced to stay close. She continued, “I can’t wait to have her back with me.”
Alex said she considered pulling out of the show given the delicate situation back home – but Jess told her she needed to go to Australia and take part in the competition. Speaking to The Mirror previously, the pundit said: “It’s been a tough time for us and obviously her family, and it was a tough decision to come into the jungle, but then Jess never wanted me to step away from not doing it.
If her mother hadn’t improved or if things had been worse, which they have been, then there was always a chance that she might not have been across the bridge. However, Jess was the one who pushed me to be here, and it was a difficult choice for me to not take.
Regan Coleman, Alex’s close friend, and Jess were waiting for her as they exchanged a heartfelt embrace. She admitted that when I didn’t see Jess on the bridge, I had to FaceTime and speak with her. It was agonizing to be in the jungle without any knowledge of how Jess, or her mother, was doing.

“It was really difficult for me to check in and see what’s going on and how she was doing in the jungle,” she said. It was an emotional moment when we actually spoke.

Just two years following the breakdown of her 14 year marriage, Countryfile presenter Anita Rani has shared details of her new relationship with Alex Lavery. The couple went public in September this year during London Fashion Week and it looks as though Anita, 48, may have finally found her happy ever after.
As the couple walked hand in hand along London’s streets, they were pictured admiring one another in love. The TV star argued that Alex’s happiness with her was not just due to his attractiveness, but that she had discovered that she might have found her soul mate thanks to one romantic gesture.
Alex is “a beautiful soul, not just good-looking,” she told Mailonline. He is extremely energetic and free-spirited.
And when he told her that he had the potential to be The One, she continued to claim that he had purchased a collection of vinyl records and that the pair sat and listened to them.
When she inquired about his knowledge of his wife’s musical preferences so soon into their romance, he admitted that he paid close attention to her preferences as she discussed different musical styles and artists.
There is nothing more satisfying than listening to music with someone who shares your passion, she continued.
With Christmas just weeks away, the couple have already decided on spending it together and it seems Anita is going all out when it comes to decorations, something she hasn’t done in previous years, according to the star.
She wed tech executive Bhupinder Rehal in September 2023, and they are still dating.
And she continued to tell Love Sunday magazine that “life is good” a year later when she discussed her split. She stated, “Life is good, I’m in a good place.” My own desires and needs are the center of my attention. It’s nice to have time to reflect on my life’s second phase. It’s been called “Chapter Two,” I’ve been calling it.
In a rave in east London, Anita and her ex-husband met at a wedding and wed in a Sikh ceremony in 2009. According to reports, hectic schedules were to blame for the split.
At the time, a source told The Mirror: “It’s really sad but they’ve decided to separate. Their hectic schedules over the past couple of years have sadly meant they’ve drifted apart over time.”

Anita claimed that she has enjoyed living as a single woman in her forties since splitting from her ex-husband and feeling more free since.
She said she was relieved that she is no longer liable to anyone because divorce was not something that her family members would accept readily.
