from disabled supporters has been met. and chelsea have stated they won't fully meet the guidelines until they develop a new ground. for years the constraints of old stadia, like stamford bridge here at chelsea, has been offered up as a reason for clubs failing to meet accessibility guidelines. but today's extensive report from the premier league doesn't draw any conclusions on that, it does however show that an awful lot of progress has been made in this area. however, for some, it's still not enough. and the equality and human rights commission says there'll be consequences. for those clubs where they are not meeting their responsibilities under the equalities act, the commission can and will take legal action against those clubs. but the premier league says rapid progress has been made and several clubs, including manchester united, are undertaking major structural work to improve access. for campaigners, it can't come soon enough. it's absolutely wrong that young people with disabilities haven't been to their home stadium to see their teams. it's absolutely wrong on any level and that needs sorting. it can't go on and it shouldn't. right now the wait goes on for the right result,

england as they add a twenty20 series to their test and one—day competitions. good evening. last night, the top for all dropped points in the premier league. it was a chance for the two manchester clubs to capitalise this evening but only one code. manchester city thrashed west ham in the fa cup a few weeks ago and they dished out another heavy defeat to move level on points with liverpool in fourth place. adam wilde reports. a trip to these bright lights holds little fear for manchester city. it was less than a month ago that they inflicted west ham's heaviest defeat in halfa inflicted west ham's heaviest defeat in half a century — 5—0. surely they would be met with stiffer resolve

this time. that's not the way it looked when the visitors went ahead. such was city's confidence, they left the likes of sergio aguero on the sidelines. his absence was never felt, such as their talent. amidst their attacking riches, few come with greater hopes than gabriel jesus, the olympic gold medallist fitting wayfinding is his first goal for the club in this olympic stadium. the west ham mood was sombre by half—time. when yaya toure made it fourfrom sombre by half—time. when yaya toure made it four from the spot, there we re made it four from the spot, there were plenty who had seen enough. for those that stayed, there was precious little to cheer. west ham we re precious little to cheer. west ham were rarely a threat. fourth place in the league was now within reach for city. to start with, the game

was... between the boxes we were clever and we were able to do that, so... clever and we were able to do that, so... are attacking, front and behind, was good as well. manchester united beat hull last month, but a goalless draw at old trafford tonight sees them four points adrift will stop hull had a keeper in inspired form, making save after save, particularly in the second half. he was revelling in it, rising to the occasion. a point for them back to 19th, with sunderland returning to the bottom. they tried
10:35 pm
to see what the referee would allow them to do. they had feedback, they we re them to do. they had feedback, they were comfortable then, comfortable to do what they did, and i am not critic with that because they are in the position they are. they are fighting relegation. every point for them is gold, and i'm not critic with them. peter crouch scored his 100th premier league goal, giving stoke the lead against everton. that was cancelled out by an own goal. everton stay seven. if we had lost that game, we would have been pulling our hair out, to be honest. we didn't deserve that. you always know when it is all square or you have a slight advantage and the opposition can get one chance, and at this level, more often than not, they take them. three matches in the scottish premiership. celtic are 25

points clear at the top after beating aberdeen. they stretched their lead because second—place rangers were beaten 4—1 at hearts. jamie walker scored twice in the second half as they closed the gap on the ibrox side and third—place aberdeen. boyata scored the goal against aberdeen. owen morgan says his team just were not at the races today. they've lost their twenty20 decider in bangalore by 75 runs, losing the last eight wickets in the space of 18 balls. test series, lost, one—day series, lost, surely not this too for england. they had a big breakthrough, with virat kohli paying walkies and paying the price.

—— going walkies and paying the price. we won't be seeing that ball ain! price. we won't be seeing that ball again! different bowl, same result. trainer reached a half—century again with ms dhoni, and it meant that england had to find 203 for victory. that will help, a reverse sweep for six. while there were many more maximums from joe root and captain owen morgan, they were both out in successive balls. the bowler that got them, chahal, got six in total. no one wins a match with statistics like that will stop all three series gone. time to come home. very disappointing. 60% of the game we we re disappointing. 60% of the game we were competitive and write in
