for a football coach. and that's why i'm really happy with the result as well. yes, it's nerve—racking, sorry, for all of us, but yeah, that's the first of the last 10. let's keep going. in the late game, manchester city failed to break down arsenal as a highly—anticipated clash at the top of the premier league failed to live up to the hype, ending in a 0—0 draw at the etihad. it means city keep their unbeaten home run, stretching back to november 2022, but it also ends arsenal's eight—match winning run in the premier league. in the end, we tried. just for the fact it is not easy. they defended really well. and yeah, we tried and i recognised my team perfectly. now it's just to relax, recovery, and wednesday we'll come back. you need a big performance,

and defensively as well individually you have to be at your best. 2021, the last time they have scored here. that is the difficulty at the level that they have and of what we have done today. to the final of the women's english league cup now where a goal from stina blackstenius gave arsenal a 1—0 victory over chelsea at molineaux, in a repeat of last years final. there was some animosity between the two managers at the end of the match. chelsea manager emma hayes leaves the club at the end of the season, so her hopes of winning the quadruple ended when blackstenius scored with four minutes of extra—time remaining. play was stopped earlier in the game when arsenal's frida maanum collapsed and was treated by paramedics. the club later confirmed she was conscious and stable. it is a record—extending seventh league cup win for arsenal. but afterwards, emma hayes accused her arsenal counterpart of male aggression on the sidelines, whilejonas eideval said chelsea were moving the goalposts

to suit themselves. we had a discussion before the game where both clubs are to agree we were going to play with the multiple system or not. and chelsea said the only wanted to play with one ball, and said we wanted to play with multiple, and then when it suits them in the last minutes of the game, when they want to take another ball to take a quick throw in, then all of a sudden they want to use it, and i only said, you guys wanted to play with one ball, so, it's not my problem. i think there's a way to behave on the side of the pitch, and not for the first time... i've been in women's football a long time, i don't think we should tolerate male aggression like we did today, and fronting up or squaring up to a player is somthing that's unacceptable so i've never been booked in 12 years of my career, but i think there is a way to behave on the touchline, and obviously i received a yellow card, and perhaps should have got more. moving to spain. real madrid beat athletic bilbao 2—0 to restore their eight—point

lead at the top of la liga. two goals from rodrygo gave real the victory, leaving them eight points ahead of barcelona. meanwhile, girona beat real betis 3—2 — the visitors coming from behind twice before cristhian stuani got an injury—time winner to move them a step closer to champions league qualification for the first time. in france, paris saint—germain continued their push for the ligue1 title with a 2—0 win at bitter rivals marseille. the visitors had lucas beraldo controversially sent off in the first half, but goals from vitinha and goncalo ramos sealed the three points. psg are 12 points clear of second—placed brest. jannik sinner won his third title of the season as he finally became the miami 0pen champion, beating grigor dimitrov in straight sets. the italian, who won the australian open injanuary, put in a convincing display to become the new world number two.

2:51 am
a tough match but itl is an historic day for us. we never won in ireland so we are going to celebrate. i am very happy for the intensity and the level that we made. disappointed to not get the win — disappointed to not get the win as _ disappointed to not get the win. as a group we try to change — win. as a group we try to change the narrative a little bit. change the narrative a little bit we _ change the narrative a little bit. we wanted to talk about performing and we wanted to talk about winning. you look back— talk about winning. you look back at— talk about winning. you look back at the game, we have done plenty— back at the game, we have done plenty of— back at the game, we have done plenty of things to put ourselves in a position to win it. so at the crucial times, plenty of possession plenty of territory, errors at the wrong time with pressure, but we let them off the hook. world champion mathieu van der poel produced a stunning attack to win a record—equalling third tour of flanders. the dutchman accelerated away from his rivals with 45 kilometres to go

a male—only tournament. but this year, as ally pally plays host for the first time, the women were invited too. it's part of our strategy since 2015 when we become one of the first professional bodies to merge two professional — male and female game together. from then, our strategy has always been equal opportunity. parity in price money. 0n court right now in front of her home crowd, very own gina kennedy. she's the commonwealth champion. commentator: 0h, commentator: oh, my word, that is a lovely shot. well, she is expected to win, gina kennedy, she is world number seven, she's taking on fellow englishwoman lucy tunnell, ranks number 25. you grew up watching the london squash classic and it was purely for men. this is the first time it's been a women's event. what does it like to into play here? something i never really thought would happen. i even did a little
2:54 am
exhibition match there before the men's matches when i was about 16 years old, so i've grown up kind of idolizing these players and now that we as women get to play next to the men, just as we deserve to do so, i think it is very cool. for years, squash was trying to get into the olympics and for years it was, no, no, no. now it is finally there, coming in 2028. what does that mean for the sport? it's incredible. it makes me a bit nervous because it's been a goal of mine since i was younger when i was in a different sport and i always kind of thought that was the road for me, but i thought when i won the commonwealth gold, that was as close as i would ever get to an olympic medal, but now that's not the case and all eyes are definitely on just trying to make sure i'm in that team in 2028. a new era for squash, and gina kennedy is at the heart of it. that perspex court is amazing
