for a second year in a row. four goals from the 83rd minute onwards. the first fa cup quarter final has a blistering climax and a win for coventry. and a good first day — not great on day two. how do rory mcilroy�*s chances look during his third round at the players championship? hello again. welcome along to sportsday. ireland are on the verge of back to back six nations titles. of the four teams that entered the final weekend with a chance of winning the tournament, much was in their favour — mainly the maths. a win against scotland in dublin would do it, as would a draw... even defeat with two bonus points... but with about ten minutes to go,

they lead to 17—6 at the aviva stadium. the story of the game so far. scotland's finn russell who's the leading scorer in the six nations this season was the first to put points on the scoreboard in the eighth minute at the aviva stadium. butjust five minutes later, ireland hooker dan sheehan saw his chance to hit back with the first try of the match. russell though kept scotland in touching distance, just a point behind at half time. not long after the restart, jack crowley gave ireland a boost to put them four points clear. in a game of tight margins taidgh furlong thought he'd got ireland's second try, but the television match official felt the ball was dislodged as he tried to touch down. but in the last few moments, andrew porter has scored what could be the match winning try. still around ten minutes to go then. the 17-6, still around ten minutes to go then. the 17—6, ireland lead scotland. so it's likely the final match of the tournament will be one that decides the minor places. england's win over ireland will have

elevated their expectations for the trip to face france in lyon. but even though their fate may well have been decided in dublin by the time they start, at 8pm this evening, coach steve borthwick insists they're focusing just on their own game. there are a formidable team and we can't wait to get into that game and that deserves all of our attention, that's where our attention will be. we just arrived here, that's where our attention will be. wejust arrived here, it's that's where our attention will be. we just arrived here, it's an incredible city to play this game. i know france played so well last week overin know france played so well last week over in cardiff, the phenomenal results they had, and they pose a lot of challenges. it's a game that deserves all of our attention. this is of course a day that settles the six nations at both top and bottom of the table and for the first time since 2003 it's wales who finish at the foot and receive with it the infamous wooden spoon. they lost their fifth game out

of five to italy, 24—21. as patrick gearey reports. the end of the tournament, the end of an era. goodbye to george north, master try scorer, even for an expert finisher, this one was tough. italy wouldn't make it any easier, the confidence they took from beating scotland flowed through them and past wales. monty you arnie ioane to the line. their first half was pointless. not so long ago, italy's place in the six nations was being questioned, but how is this for proof of progress? commentator: 0h, lorenzo pani! what a glorious try! 18—0, wales are staring at an unwanted utensil. staring at the wooden spoon, they

brought out the heavy rollers, elliot dee forced the ball over, try at last. italy simply kept kicking towards the horizon, towards their second victory of the tournament. the game was now beyond wales, despite a late tries from will rowlands and mason grady. north's final salute wasn't how he planned it. in sport, even the best can't script their endings. patrick gearey, bbc news. it's been a while since wales suffered like this, with only one six nations win since warren gatland returned as coach. and once again, he repeated his mantra of patience with an extensive rebuilding job under way. we knew the inexperience we had in the squad and players that were asked to step up into leadership roles. for us, it's about learning from that and taking the good moments out of the game and going, this is what good it looks like. i am really excited about this group. i think they are going to learn from it and some youngsters who will

improve from the experiences, we just have to make sure that we are very clear on the sort of things about simplifying our game a little bit to make sure we do get on that front foot, make sure we do get some go forward and make a huge difference for us. quarter final of the champions league, within touching distance of the premier league lead and last—eight in the fa cup — this is the point that manchester city and treble will start to be put together again. only one team have knocked them out of contention in a competition this season, and that's newcastle — city's opponents in the fa cup this evening beat them in the league cup in september. but it's manchester city who are in complete control at the etihad — bernardo silva opening the scoring after 13 minutes, with the helping hand off a deflection off dan burn. and soon it was two, silva repeating the trick again, with the help of another deflection, this time sven botman�*s head guiding the ball home. newcastle had a brief glimpse of goal, alexander isak�*s effort well saved by stefan ortega but it's city who lead 2—0 at half—time.

these are live pictures from bbc one's coverage of the match, the second half has just started. just second half has 'ust started. just auoin second half has just started. just going through the two teams involved in this match, it is too high from zero to manchester city, to big quarterfinals tomorrow. they could be one of the first two teams through to the semifinals with just under one half of football to go at the etihad stadium. a comfortable lead for manchester city, that is on bbc one right now. the first team through to the semi—finals in this year's fa cup are coventry city. they beat wolves by 3 goals to 2 in a dramatic encounter that saw the championship side score twice in stoppage time to book their place at wembley, reaching the last four of the competition for the first time in 37 years. nick parrott reports. a sense of relief and disbelief resonated around molineux after the final whistle. coventry pulled off a

remarkable recovery that left wolves flawed. the championship side managed i2 flawed. the championship side managed 12 shots on target, more than twice as many as their premier league hosts. but it was the mrs that were more telling. ellis simms scored a hat—trick in the last round, had he started better, the nail—biting finale might not have happened. when he did finally get the ball in the net, it took five minutes for the va are to decide whether he had handled it. —— video assistant referee full stop the fans were so frustrated, even the home once booed the delay. eventually, commentary�*s prayers were answered. it would have been a convent controversial way to look when the match but 20 mins later, wolves made any lingering arguments invalid. the algerian midfielder then turned providerfor this player algerian midfielder then turned provider for this player to score his first four wolves. that would have been a moment for the spaniard to treasure until ellis simms ruined

his day. many teams would have tried to hold on for extra time, but not coventry. in the 100th minute of the match, the striker wrote his name into the club's history. the american giving commentary finds the dream of reaching the fa cup final for the first time since they won it. well, wolves manager gary o'neil has described the way his coventry counterpart celebrated their winner as �*disgusting'. mark robins has apologised since. he celebrated in front of a young wolves ball—boy who had earlier dropped a ball at robins' feet believing the home side were about to win. o'neil said afterwards the boy was really upset and wasjust doing hisjob. while the coventry boss insisted he doesn't usually show emotion, even if the win was historic. that should give everyone the confidence to kick on for the rest of the season in our league and hopefully we can try and get into the play—offs, there are some good teams at our level but we have just beaten a really good opponent. they

are a joint, they have done brilliantly this year, gary has done a fantasticjob. we're just happy we have managed to put in a performance that gets us over the line and go to wembley again, the fourth time since i have been at the club. we gave everything to get to this point, _ we gave everything to get to this point, we — we gave everything to get to this point, we gave everything again today _ point, we gave everything again today. some of my shuffling right help. _ today. some of my shuffling right help, some of it's cost us. that is the way— help, some of it's cost us. that is the way it— help, some of it's cost us. that is the way it goes and players gave everything, fans give everything, obviously— everything, fans give everything, obviously everybody is going to be devastated with the result for the next few — devastated with the result for the next few days and we will have to find a _ next few days and we will have to find a way — next few days and we will have to find a way to dust ourselves down because _ find a way to dust ourselves down because premier league is going to because premier league is going to be really— because premier league is going to be really tough now. play is that we have missing and what we are going to have _ have missing and what we are going to have to— have missing and what we are going to have to do and how we are going to have to do and how we are going to have _ to have to do and how we are going to have to— to have to do and how we are going to have to fight is going to be a real test— to have to fight is going to be a real test of everyone so we need to be ready _ the fa cup quarterfinals mean limited premier league programme but... in this evening's game, spurs are taking on fulham at craven cottage knowing a win would move them into the top four.

but, at half time, it's fulham who are ahead. rodrigo munez with the goal for the home side after he finished antonee robinson's cross. that's his sixth goal in his last seven games. in the last few moments, they have made it two. earlier, three of the bottom four tried to improve their outlook with just ten games of the premier legaue season remaining and two of them met and couldn't be separated at kenilworth road. luton�*s 90th minute equaliser gave them a 1—1 draw against nottingham forest. luke berry with a goal that prevented forest moving further clear of the relegation zone after they'd taken the lead through chris wood. luton remain third from bottom. we got knocked down on wednesday night and it was very tough for us all and i thought we performed really, really well in the game today in difficult circumstances, obviously it the same not going again after only having a day and a bit prep. to go 1—0 down was another blow, this groupjust bit prep. to go 1—0 down was another blow, this group just keep going and we're still the fight.

we did enough in the game to win it, the chances — we did enough in the game to win it, the chances we had, we should have taken _ the chances we had, we should have taken three — the chances we had, we should have taken three points. we had big boys to solve _ taken three points. we had big boys to solve the situation but, 0k, there — to solve the situation but, 0k, there is— to solve the situation but, 0k, there is a _ to solve the situation but, 0k, there is a problem there but i think there _ there is a problem there but i think there is— there is a problem there but i think there is a _ there is a problem there but i think there is a huge problem also to finish _ there is a huge problem also to finish the — there is a huge problem also to finish the situation that we have, clear— finish the situation that we have, clear chances that we have to go to make _ clear chances that we have to go to make it _ clear chances that we have to go to make it real. burnley are now eight points away from safety after they won 2—1 at home to brentford. jacob bruun—larsen put them ahead with a penalty after brentford's sergio reguilon was sent off. david fofana made it two for burnley before kristoffer ajer pulled one back for brenford late on. i think we started well. we didn't wait for the game to happen, we forced them to make a mistake early doors. i think we won jewels and challenges on many occasions and we created big chances today again. maybe the thing if we sharpen our tools a little bit more, we can have

more goals but in the end, a team that hasn't won for a while with ten minutes to go, if the result is not already to bed then that's always something where you have to grind it out but we did that and got the result. , , , ., ., result. very, very proud of the -la ers, result. very, very proud of the players. of _ result. very, very proud of the players. of the _ result. very, very proud of the players, of the effort, - result. very, very proud of the i players, of the effort, mentality. result. very, very proud of the - players, of the effort, mentality. i really— players, of the effort, mentality. i really hope the fans are as well. it is an_ really hope the fans are as well. it is an incredible shift of the players _ is an incredible shift of the players put in, to stay in the game 100 minutes with injury time over the two _ 100 minutes with injury time over the two halves and getting very close. — the two halves and getting very close, probably should could get a point, _ close, probably should could get a point, incredibly proud of that. scotland — point, incredibly proud of that. scotland have scored a try, reducing the deficit to ireland to formic points, 17—13 in dublin and ireland down to 1a, just one minute to go. we will bring you the latest very shortly. talking about scotland... celtic have retaken the lead in the scottish premiership,

winning today before rangers play tomorrow. celtic beat stjohnstone 3—1, giving them a point advantage over their old firm rivals. elsewhere, kilmarnock went above st mirren into fourth by beating them 5—2. third place hearts lost at ross county. while there were also wins for hibs and aberdeen, their first of 202a. ipswich are up to second in the championship, a point off leaders leicester, after a 6—0 win over sheffield wednesday. meanwhile, swansea beat rivals cardiff in the south wales derby by two goals to nil. liam cullen opened the scoring in the first half and swansea doubled their lead in stoppage time through substitute jamal lowe. the win moves them eight points clear of the relegation zone. another weekend, another harry kane goal. but this time, a particularly significant one as he helped bayern munich to a 5—2 win over darmstadt in the bundesliga. the england's captain's 31st league goal of the campaign means he's become the highest scoring player in their debut season in the german top division, breaking a record that has stood for 60 years. it's also the most kane has ever scored in a league campaign, beating his previous

best of 30 at tottenham. the woman in the christian horner controversy has lodged an official complaint about his behaviour with formula 1's governing body, the fia. bbc sport has learned the complainant, who accused red bull's team principal of inappropriate behaviour, has registered a grievance with the fia's ethics committee. horner has always denied the accusations made against him. the final whistle has gone in dublin and while scotland got close and got closer, ireland are the six nations champions. they have just beaten scotland 17—13 to make this the table with just one match to go. ireland an unassailable eight point lead after their victory over scotland. back to back titles for andy farrell's side for the first time since 2014 and 2015. their 16th

win overall in the competition's history. england cannot do anything about it, they are too far behind ahead of their game against france in lyon this evening. ireland are the six nations champions. we will bring you some pictures a little bit later on before we go this evening on sportsday. overnight leader wyndham clark has just started his third round at the players championship. the us open winner has carded two successive 65s at sawgrass so far and his advantage is a commanding one. let's head to florida and speak to our correspondent iain carter. iain, has the picture below clark on the leaderboard changed much while he's waited to start? it's altering a little bit. matt fitzpatrick has just completed a brilliant birdie on the first hull, a superb tee shotjust 95 yards, wedged to tap in range to move to 10—under par. he moves alongside nick taylor and sandra. a superb

second shot into the second hole, really good birdie opportunity coming for him. the lead may be trimmed to three shots. wyndham clark has been very impressive so far, a pair of 65s having finished runner—up last week at bay hill, he does well on tough golf courses, he is the reigning us open champion and he is very much the man to beat this weekend. we he is very much the man to beat this weekend. ~ ., , ., weekend. we have seen some low scores already _ weekend. we have seen some low scores already on _ weekend. we have seen some low scores already on saturday, - weekend. we have seen some low scores already on saturday, ian, l weekend. we have seen some low scores already on saturday, ian, i | scores already on saturday, ian, i wonder if that is because of the traditional moving day they like to call it on saturday in america or is it the conditions helping things? i think it is a little bit of both. some burns with a 65 has really lit up some burns with a 65 has really lit up sawgrass in the early stages and put himself on the fringes of contending that i think you are right to highlight the conditions this year. there is not the sub air system to suck the moisture out of the greens that we have had in the past at tpc sawgrass so the green is softer than i think the organisers

would have wanted. an awful lot of rain last weekend and that is still being felt so the players, if they are in position, they can play target golf and go low. thank you ve much target golf and go low. thank you very much indeed, _ target golf and go low. thank you very much indeed, commentary l target golf and go low. thank you i very much indeed, commentary with ian and the team from sawgrass from 7:30pm on five live sports extra this evening. you're watching sportsday. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today... britain's tom pidcock had broken away to lead in the closing stages of the milan—san remo race — but was caught by the peloton with 200 metres to go. and jasper phillipsen of belgium sprinted to win cycling's first major one—day of the season byjust a couple of centimetres. world champion emma finucane sprinted to win her second gold of the weekend at the track nations cup in hong kong. it's her third gold medal in this year's series following team sprint success in hong kong yesterday and winning the individual sprint in adelaide. britain's sam bird took the lead in the final lap of the sao paolo e—prix in brazil, and held on to take his first win of the season for the neom mclaren team —

open teenage champion, a wimbledon champion, first ever teenaged man to be world number one and injannik sinner, a player who has had such a rich potentialfor so sinner, a player who has had such a rich potential for so long and perhaps took a little bit longer to realise it than we thought he might but suddenly, that talent and the ability to win the big matches and the big titles has exploded in front of our eyes. he has won 19 matches in a row now, that includes the victory in the australian open in january. it was going to win this particular match chris guk ——? alcaraz has not been as good as he looks to defend his title and make the fight he in the semifinals last yearin the fight he in the semifinals last year in straight sets suggestion that he prefers these conditions but no one is betting against sin, it is very, very impossible to call i think this one. fist very, very impossible to call i think this one.— very, very impossible to call i think this one. . .,, , , think this one. at least i suppose, russell, there _ think this one. at least i suppose, russell, there won't _ think this one. at least i suppose, russell, there won't be _ think this one. at least i suppose, russell, there won't be any - think this one. at least i suppose, russell, there won't be any beesl russell, there won't be any bees getting in the way of carlos

disappointment that filled them in the world cup, losing to new zealand in that quarterfinal, the world cup, losing to new zealand in that quarter final, they once again prove that certainly in the northern hemisphere, they are very much the team to beat. ireland, six nations champions, beating scotland. france will play england knowing the title is no longer possible for either of them. congratulations to ireland, we will have much more on sportsday at 7:30pm but that is it for now, thanks for watching, bye—bye. hello there. tomorrow is going to be a warmer day. today felt a lot chillier across south—eastern parts of the country, but we have all seen the cloud increasing and there has been some rain and drizzle in the air as well. low pressure is staying probably out to the west, but well ahead of it, this cloud is getting thrown our way, and these weather fronts will bring the wetter weather and that is pushing east.

it will clear away from northern areas overnight, but across england and wales, coming up from the south—west, we will see rain developing more widely by the early hours. not welcome rain by any means. eight or nine celsius, but where the cloud breaks later in northern scotland, temperatures down to three orfour celsius. unlike today, tomorrow is going to be an improving picture, where we will see the rain clearing, sunshine coming through and that could lead to a few showers here and there. the rain should not last too long in wales, but you can expect a wet start in the midlands first thing. the cloud will then break, sunny spells will develop, leading to a few showers, mainly for the northern half of the uk. the winds will be quite light and it will be a warmer day. compared with today temperatures will be three orfour degrees higher. in the milder air on sunday night, a couple of weakening weather fronts moving in from the west.

they won't bring much rain at all. that's the extent of any cloud and rain early on monday. that moves away, and we will see some sunshine coming through. then the next weather system arrives out in the west, northern ireland, strengthening the winds through the irish sea and into western most parts of scotland. it is a southerly wind, hence those higher than normal temperatures, peaking at 15 or 16 celsius. the wind is coming from a long way south, hence those higher temperatures. but the potentialfor more rain. this area of low pressure is going to track north and it will take the rain overnight across the northern half of the uk, and then clear away north on tuesday. following that there will be a few showers, but then it will dry up with some sunshine. still some rain hanging on in the south and south—west. those temperatures not changing much, 13—16 c.

live from london — this is bbc news. the brother of diana, princess of wales, tells the bbc about how he and his sister were punished violently as children by one of their nannies. i don't think we realised that that was wrong. we knew it was painful and we knew it was something we wanted to avoid, but i think children don't know
