beats safari in straight sets to win a second indian wells title. hello there. welcome to the programme. it has been a thrilling weekend of quarterfinal games in the fa cup with the most dramatic match needing a 120th minute goal to separate two of the biggest clubs in the world. manchester united eventually beat rivals liverpool 4—3. patrick geary has the details from old trafford. well, this place. old trafford has seen some games over the years, but that was right up there, an fa cup quarter final to live on in history. where to start with it? well, manchester united,

many people's underdogs started the game brighter and they went ahead through scott mctominay, finishing from close range early on. they might have added to that lead, but instead it was liverpool who turned it around before the break. goals from alexis mcallister, a deflected strike and mo salah made it two one to liverpool at half time and it stayed that way until the final minutes of the 90 when anthony squeezed in an equaliser for united. so in two extra time we were just getting started. harvey elliott made it three two to liverpool, another deflected strike. marcus rashford brought united back into it three, three. and we were waiting for penalties when with almost a final attack of the match, united attacked and amad diallo squeezed in the winner 4—3. he was actually sent off in the celebrations. but that was a footnote, really, as united's hopes of silverware this season live on they face coventry city of the championship next in the semifinal. but after what happened here they will feel that in the fa cup this might be their year ofjoy for manchester united,

but of course disappointment then for liverpool. let's hearfrom both managers, starting with erik ten hag who believes this fa cup result could be a major turning point in their season. it's the first 35 minutes was the best i have seen for my team this season. played so well in and out of possession and then the last 10 minutes and also after half—time we'd be dropped off a level and you see liverpool, that's a very good team and they took over. but then finally we changed our style, the system especially. and from that moment on we took back the initiative. we believed in it and we created chances and we scored goals and the team showed the resilience, the determination to to win this game. and we have had so many setbacks. so i'm really proud of the team, not only in this game, but the whole season. we have so many setbacks. and of course, when it's manchester united against liverpool, one of world's best football matches and this is happening,

i think its historical. ...really good start in the game. we didn't. we need a bit of time, but we use the time and we we adapted well and then we were outstanding. the goals we scored were outstanding in the second half. the way we played was outstanding. we have to finish the game obviously different. that's obviously the criticism and the weak point. and so we leave the door open and as long as you are only one goal up, that's clearly your opponent and believe the crowd helps and obviously so. two to three to three, three. and in the end, we lose it. i cannot i cannot ask for more. i can't. the boys gave absolutely everything we had... a start was not great, but then our decision making was, in some moments, not great. we could have found a better player. the counterattacks, but how we played in moments was absolutely exceptional. we didn't use it and then you have to accept the result.

and that's what we do obviously. chelsea are also heading to wembley again after they beat ten man, leicester city four two at stamford bridge. that was thanks to two stoppage time goals. chelsea were 2—0 ahead at half time before letting their lead slip with leicester city coming back to two all but after leicester's callum doyle was sent off the championship side were eventually made to pay with goals in the 92nd and 98th minute, giving chelsea a 4—2 win. that is football. that is the fa cup is a beauty of the fa cup and we are involved in the fa cup. and yes, of course, i think first of all, i think we really deserve and the qualification for the semifinal and we we got that. and then the team keep calm and try and always until today in and that's why on the end for two and so happy to go to to wembley for the semifinal.

well, the draw has been made for the semi—finals. coventry will play manchester united, while manchester city will meet chelsea. those fa cup ties will be played at wembley on the weekend of april 20th and 21st. west ham had two goals disallowed for handball as they drew one, all with aston villa in the day's only premier league match after a big defeat for tottenham in the race for the top four on saturday. villa are now three points clear in fourth place. west ham stay in seventh michail antonio scored and had a second goal ruled out while there were 104 minutes in this game after an injury time winner for west ham was taken off the board following a lengthy var review to the disappointment of the west ham manager, david moyes. it's not gone for us, so it's not enough what we can do with it to this week as well. 0ne against freiburg and one in midweek as well. didn't go for us as well, so we had four handballs as we were all going against us. for michail antonio is he's clearly making a clear effort to pull his hands in, but i guess the rules is any touch

at all off the arm. it's going to be disallowed. well, let's see what the var doesn't. it's their decision, not ours. we can't do any about it. to the bundesliga next where leaders bayer leverkusen beat host freiburg three two on sunday to return to being ten points clear at the top of the table, edging themselves closer to a first ever league title. florian wirtz put the visitors who are unbeaten across all competitions this season in front after two minutes with a scintillating solo run before ritu dhawan�*s shot in the tenth minute drew freiburg level. patrik schick flicked the ball into the back of the net in the 53rd minute, giving bayer leverkusen a two goal cushion, which should have been enough for the three points. but there was a nervy ending when yannick keitel scored a late goal for freiburg. final score freiburg 2 bayer leverkusen three. there are many, many reasons, but it will take a little bit too long. but the main is that that we

have a good team players, that they are showing great mentality. they have this desire, this hunger to keep going. and we don't want to stop. robert lewandowski inspired barcelona to a 3—0 triumph at athletico madrid on sunday to keep their faint laliga title hopes alive. levandowski set up goals for joao felix and fermin lopez, either side of scoring himself to put barcelona into second place. eight points behind leaders real madrid. elsewhere, there were wins for rayo, vallecano villarreal, almeria and celta vigo. and in italy, inter milan have a 1k point lead at the top of serbia after their one all draw against napoli ac milan consolidated against napoli. ac milan consolidated second place, beating verona three one afterjuventus were held by genoa, while fiorentina's match at atalanta was postponed after the club's general manager, giuseppejoe barone, was taken ill. tennis and the world number

one iga swiatek powered past greece's maria sakkari to claim her second indian wells title. zachary was competitive in the first set and despite going three love down at the start of the match, broke back to level at four all. she went on to dominate, winning eight games in a row to cruise to a 6—4—6 love win. it's the second time she has won this tournament in three years with her last triumph in 2022. also a win over sakkari in the final. i'm super proud of my performance today for sure. it was a test of my mental training because it's not easy to lead in the final like that and then keep going. so i'm happy that i focused on the right things and i also improved some stuff that i thought, you know, i did wrong in the middle of the first set. so it was all pretty nice to, you know, feel that feeling at the end. the two time grand slam champion carlos alcaraz beat world number four, daniil medvedev, in straight sets to win back to back titles in indian wells. the spaniard went an early break down in the first set before coming back to win it on a tie—break.

the second set was far more comfortable with the 20 year old taking it 6—1 to successfully retain the title he won 12 months ago, its alcaraz, his first title since winning wimbledon last year. now to golf and the world. now to golf and the world number one, scottie scheffler has made history by successfully retaining his players championship title after a dramatic final round at sawgrass. the american staged a remarkable comeback on sunday, coming from five shots behind as a final round. 64 saw him finish on 20 under par. he made six birdies and that superb eagle. well, fellow americans xander schauffele, brian harman and wyndham clark all needed a birdie on the 18th if they were to force a play off, but they all fell short to hand. but they all fell short to hand scheffler the title. the world number one becomes the first player in the tournament's 50 year history to win back to back players championship titles.

excellent win and clearly in form ahead of the masters, which is coming up very soon. well, you can get all of the latest sports news at the bbc sport app orfrom our website. but for now, for me and the rest of the team, it's goodbye from the bbc sport centre. hello there. we're into some much milderfeeling air now with temperatures in the mid teens quite widely on sunday as a wet start to the day for some of us. but we saw some sunny spells emerging such as here in nottinghamshire and there's more sunshine on offer as we head through monday — it's a similar looking day. for the vast majority of us, it should stay dry, some low cloud, mist and murk to begin with, but then it will brighten up quite nicely. but overnight there are some weather fronts just gradually clearing eastwards. a lot of the showery rain is starting to fizzle out

on the easterly track. and this is how we'll start off the day on monday. temperatures between five and eight degrees. it's a cooler start than yesterday morning across much of england and wales. but still temperatures in mid to high single figures so mild for the time of year. lots of dry weather around these areas of cloud just pushing further eastwards, the rain fizzling out. a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, clouds thickening from the west as we head through the afternoon. and there will be some rain across northern ireland for the second half of the day, too. a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, particularly for irish sea coast. and it's still mild, its warm but not quite as warm as on sunday, perhaps temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees celsius. and there's more rain on monday night. it's just dragging its way further eastwards as we head through the night and into tuesday. so tuesday we'll see this front sinking southwards and eastwards bringing more cloud across east anglia, the far south east of england. showery outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards across scotland. but for many central areas there'll be some bright spells and perhaps a scattering of showers, too. it's turning cooler now in the north and the west.

but still, that mild air hangs on further south and east, 16 degrees celsius here. and you can see that quite nicely on the air mass chart here with that milder feeling air, still the south—westerly wind, colderfeeling, conditions taking hold across the north and the west. now, as we go through wednesday, we're going to start to see this wave develop on this front, and that's going to bring us perhaps some further outbreaks of rain, but still a lot of uncertainty regarding just where this rain is likely to be. it could clear away from eastern scotland towards the end of the day. and i think many northwestern areas could stay largely dry, too. look, it's still very mild across the south east of england, 17 degrees celsius, perhaps here. as we go through thursday though, we're likely to see some more rain, especially in the south of england and wales. and it could turn a bit colder by friday. bye— bye.
