still have a home game to look forward to. will they be frustrated oi’ forward to. will they be frustrated or pleased that it is manchester united's defeat and not their own game that means they win the title? i think there will be several city fa ns i think there will be several city fans will love the fact that united are departing handing it back, although it seemed as though the stars are aligned and man city could win against united to win it, and it didn't happen. so city had to refocus and get themselves back in gear against tottenham. we knew it would be inevitable, but we didn't think it would be united to hand it to city. if it dusty performance against spurs, pep guardiola saying it was crucial because back to winning ways against spurs. the first 45 minutes in particular showed just how good city's football can be. yes, and it needed to be, because a few doubters were coming out. the way that city played it showed it was not easy. it easy to

premier league have ever seen. they could break summary records by the time it is done. yes, but when i look at this current man city team, it is willie a joy, a pleasure to go and watch this team show up every week. they play with to number tens. no other team plays with two number tens, and the reason is because pep guardiola is brave, he likes to play with three at the back which allows more offensive players. this is why city are able to create opportunities and score goals because he is brave. a lot of managers are not brave, so when chances created there are three players in the box. when man city great chances there are five players, and times six. it is a number of players to ensure putting away chances. sometimes the swarm and are unstoppable. let's look at some of the treats from man city players. sean, it has been a wonderful season

for man city, will you remember it as you go one into the next ten yea rs, as you go one into the next ten years, is it that good?|j as you go one into the next ten years, is it that good? i think it is. from the goalkeeper, all the way through. he makes 60 yard passes as a goalkeeper, these are passes that start at tax. when i think of the whole city team, they are complete team, andi whole city team, they are complete team, and i will remember it for many, team, and i will remember it for any team, and i will remember it for many, many years. great have your company, thanks, much more premier league action this afternoon. arsenal may be through to the last four of the europa league but in the premier league they are in danger of

not even finishing in the top six. they lost 2—1 at newcastle, who moved 13 points clear of the relegation zone. some newcastle fans have seen it all. victories against arsenal have fewer witnesses than most, ten years since their last win over the gunners, so perhaps a little deja vu when this cross was converted . one goal down, then something newcastle fans have not seen often enough, a fiery response. such clinical finishing has deserted arsenal away from home in 2018, yet to even pick up a point. the workrate and intensity that arsenal could not match. matt ritchie show them just where the goal, in his last four at st james's park. just how rafa planned it?

a deserved win takes newcastle above that cherished 40 point mark, but for arsenal a feeling that has become all too familiar. arsenal have reached their 16th women's fa cup final after they beat everton ladies 2—1 in a dramatic semifinal this afternoon. they will face chelsea who beat manchester city. we now know which two teams will face off in the fa cup final on may the 5th at wembley. here at kings meadow chelsea were comfortable 2—0 winners over defending champs manchester city. classy finishes, going one—on—one against the keeper. chelsea through to their third fa cup final in four years. it is massive, we have been preparing for this game for a long time since the draw. the crowd got behind us, and luckily we got the win and can go to wembley. it is 2015 champions chelsea who go through to the final where they will face 14 times

winners arsenal who squeezed past everton 2—1 with a goal in extra time. dan carter had put arsenal in front before chloe kelley equalised for the home side from the penalty spot. but then up popped louise quinn with the header in the 91st minute to break everton hearts. we have got to carry that on. the history of this club is amazing, we are going into that final, and we will go for the win, bringing back more silverware. saturday, may 5th, 2018 at wembley, the women's fa cup final, between chelsea and arsenal. but if you cannot make it to london, we'll have full coverage of the match on bbc tv and across bbc radio as well. celtic edge closer to back—to—back domestic trebles after thrashing old firm rivals rangers in the scottish cup semifinal. a little over 20 minutes had pased before the

holders were in front at hampden park thanks to tom rogic, as celtic aimed to extend their unbeaten run against rangers to ten matches. they continued to dominate and callum mcgregor added a deserve a second before half—time. they added a third when moussa dembele tucked away a penalty. rangers were down to ten men at that stage, and then it was made for from 12 yards. the next face motherwell who beat in the late cup final in november. an historic final day at the commonwealth games with england's net bowlers pulling off their biggest win, shocking australia to take the title, and just as they did in the semifinal yesterday, victory came in the most dramatic fashion. with more on a momentous last morning, mike bushell. the closing ceremony may have finished, and the baton handed to birmingham for four years' time,

but the party is still going on just on just off broad beach. they are certainly celebrating it very successful commonwealth games for the australians and the gold coast, so much so that there is talk year of bidding for the olympics in 2032. but it has also been a dramatic final day, a fitting way to end these games. the pain and agony for scotland in the men's marathon, and then the most incredible of finishes for england's net borrowers, taking on the hosts, australia, the world champions, in their first ever major final. never before had england reached a final, never winning more than a bronze, and yet a last—gasp goal, england's roses bloomed at the last buzzer. they have made history! they have snatched the gold medal from australia. quite simply the greatest result in their history, and a win to rewrite the record books.

it is my dream come true. the girls worked so hard over the last international phase. they were against the world number one, we have not eaten them once in the whole cycle, and to beat them at that time is just amazing. i'm really proud. imagine how proud the adcocks are. the husband—and—wife combination of chris and gabby, the reigning champions defending their title in the mixed badminton at beating team—mates marcus ellis and lauren smith. but it has not been alljoy for the home nations down under. take this for example. scotland's calum hawkins, leading the marathon with only a mile to go, only for exhaustion to cruelly rob him of victory in the 30 degrees heat. the fact it took several minutes for medical help to arrive has led to criticism of the organisers. another scotsman, robbie simpson, was able to make the podium. he battled through to bronze in the searing temperatures. and that's it, the final day of the commonwealth games

is over. the gold coast may be more than 10,000 miles away, but it has been a home from home for the home nations. looking back and looking at the medals table, reasons for everybody to be cheerful. the australians are happy they topped the table unlike four years ago when they were second behind england. they wanted to get more gold medals than all the home teams put together and they did that, but scotland and wales can celebrate their best ever away commonwealth games, and england will be happy with second and 45 gold medals, and 45 gold medals, especially with that one in the netball to end things. and then throw in northern ireland's new pommel horse champion, and a silver medal for the isle of man, and most of the home teams go back with something. now the baton is passed to birmingham, and in four years' time
