We've won our first gold medal at the Manila SEA Games! 

This is after Wushu athlete Loh Choon How finished in 1st place in the men's Laolu Taijiquan event. 

The Philippines took both silver and bronze. 

We also picked up a bronze medal in women's floorball, beating Philippines 1-nil in sudden death extra time. 

Meanwhile, Malaysia are guaranteed to win at least a bronze medal in the women's badminton team event. 

They received a walkover into the semifinals, after Cambodia withdrew from their last-8 match today.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he has no complaints, after goalkeeper Alisson was sent off in last night's 2-1 win over Brighton. 

The Brazilian was shown a straight red card for handball outside of his box. 

Klopp also praised backup goalkeeper Adrian, who stepped in and made two great saves. 

Meanwhile, Alisson's dismissal means he will be unavailable for their next EPL game, against Everton on Thursday morning.
