the headlines this evening.... chelsea are the women's fa cup winners — taking revenge on london rivals arsenal, beating them 3—1. a roller—coaster of an afternoon for west brom fans — first a win over spurs and they cling on to their place in the premier league. that's because southampton missed out on all three points at everton with the last kick of the match as west brom survive to fight another day. stoke have been relegated to the championship after defeat to crystal palace. good evening — it's a busy day of sport today with the rugby

and football seasons coming to a close — relegations and promotions decided, trophies won — and there's been a big one at wembley today. chelsea have won the women's fa cup. they beat their london rivals arsenal 3—1 in front of a record crowd of over 16,000 — and among them is our reporterjo currie jo, jo, what a day it has been at wembley, what a match. chelsea coming out on top? a wonderful match. you can probably see behind me that players are still on the pitch, still celebrating. they are yet to receive their medals and the trophy at wembley. chelsea are really rewriting history. two years ago they came to wembley, they played arsenal in the fa cup final and losti—o. played arsenal in the fa cup final and lost 1—0. today, chelsea were a different team. the key difference was that today they had ramona bachmann, the swiss star. they took

the lead, and after the break chelsea explodes out of the dressing room, fran kirby setting up ramona bachmann. an exquisite finish. that finish was so good that she decided to repeat it just finish was so good that she decided to repeat itjust a few minutes later, smashing the ball into the roof of the net. arsenal really struggled to penetrate the chelsea defence until great work done the left—hand side and they got away with the ball, eventually finding very —— the striker. fran kirby stepped up to score her 23rd goal of the season, and showed just why she has been voted the best player in the country this season. there will be no 15th title for arsenal. a second title for chelsea. as for emma hayes, the chelsea ladies manager, pregnant with twins, she is actually due in the next few weeks,

she decided not to walk the team out to reduce the stress. that honour was left to paul green, her number two. she spent much of the match sat down, paul green was telling his players what to do. she may go on maternity leave any minute, but she has signed off with a trophy, with her team still possibly able to win the league trophy. a quick mention about the atmosphere, 115,000 people inside wembley. they smashed the previous record by 10,000 people. last year it was 35,000, so it really has been a day to remember all round at wembley. 0k, go and enjoy that celebration. what a few weeks it will be for emma hayes, winning the fa cup and giving birth to twins! could win the women's super league as well. life changing. southampton have climbed out of the relegation zone on goal difference — but it could have been a very different story. with the

last kick of the match, everton drew level at goodison, says adam's battle for family survival goes on. mark hughes has never been relegated asa mark hughes has never been relegated as a player or manager. if that was as a player or manager. if that was a good omen for southampton fans, the fact they have never beaten everton at goodison park for 20 yea rs everton at goodison park for 20 years wasn't. they showed little urgency to try to do anything about that in the first half. a couple of good chances came their way. jordan pickford showed that he is determined to get into the england squad for the world cup russia. that is something to look back something needed to change, nathan redmond came on and was $0011 needed to change, nathan redmond came on and was soon rewarded. his first goalfor a year, came on and was soon rewarded. his first goal for a year, potentially one of the most important of his career. with five minutes left, the last thing southampton needed was this, yoshida's dismissal led to a frantic finale. tom davis struck in injury time to snatch a draw. it

means southampton must now win against swansea on tuesday. that result meant that west brom just about got away with it. stoke, it has not been a good day for them. you're going to take us through the permutations at the pointy end of the season. so much focus on the bottom of the table this year. austin joins bottom of the table this year. austinjoins me. well, that could have been a win for southampton, that point was very important for them. it also means that goal for everton, west brom stay up for now. they had a fantastic win today, beating spurs by a goal to nil.“ west brom survive, they will have achieved the greatest survival. eight straight defeats and alan pardew, but they did all they could today, jake livermore scoring the goal to beat tottenham 1—0. now darren moore's five games in charge,

undefeated. liverpool, manchester united and now tottenham, they have all beaten under him. what a record he has had. we can hearfrom the manager now. you know, to give yourself a chance, we have been on this road four, getting onto five weeks we this road four, getting onto five weeks - we wanted to this road four, getting onto five weeks i zifigsfléfé’o this road four, getting onto five weeks zifigsfléfé’o 2,2 n n 7 w this road four, getting onto five weeks 11 up ésfléfé’o 2,2 n n 7 w this road four, getting onto five weeks 11 up here éjo 2,2 w w 7 w this road four, getting onto five weeks i up here eéfi’: about : fifi one standing up here talking about the occasion. but it really is we, asa the occasion. but it really is we, as a football club, they have come together, supporters, staff, officials, everybody has come together and just worked hard. through that hard work and commitment, the results are coming. results coming for darren moore that west brom. alan pardew was brought in there to bring them some results. that didn't happen. paul lambert was brought in at stoke to give them a new lease of life. it really didn't come to fruition in the end. they we re come to fruition in the end. they were relegated from the premier

league today, beaten 2—1 at home by crystal palace? disappointing for stoke, one win in 13 for paul lambert, not good enough to keep them in the premier league. they had a couple of drawers, that that is where they slipped up. today, they took the lead, shakira keary scoring a one goalfor them. they were beaten 2—1 at crystal palace, the last time stoke were relegated was in the 805, it last time stoke were relegated wa5 in the 805, it took them 23 years to get back. the fans will be praying it is not the same situation. we can hear from it is not the same situation. we can hearfrom paul it is not the same situation. we can hear from paul lambert. they were very excited to try and pick up the points. i said before, if the lads have been playing the way that they did for me, then they would not be in the position they were in. we have to bounce back up, the club has to. it is too big, the supporters too big. it is a really good place, infrastructure wise, and it can do that. when it is mathematical,

everybody says it is over, and we have to bring us back. i feel very sorry, a lot of empathy for stoke city. not much fun coming off at the end of the game, seeing the pain etched on the faces. but it is not us etched on the faces. but it is not us that put them down, it is 30 seven matches. we just happened to be here today and provided them with opposition and did theirjob. played the best football they could play. little note for roy hodg5on, crystal palace 5urvive today, having lost the first eight games of the season without 5coring the first eight games of the season without scoring a goal. fantastic performance from them. a dejected swansea, happy for bournemouth. swansea are still in serious trouble? serious trouble. ryan fraser, the man that there was the one goal scored today to secure premier league status for bournemouth next season. swansea,

they are really dragged into the mire. this defeat for them, and southampton's draw at everton, has polled swansea into the bottom three for the first time in a while. they had their chances. jordan ayew have plenty of them, his brother, before the game, said he was100% confident swa nsea the game, said he was100% confident swansea would survive this season. i don't know if he will say the same now. we can hearfrom don't know if he will say the same now. we can hear from a don't know if he will say the same now. we can hearfrom a dejected ca rlos ca rvalhal. now. we can hearfrom a dejected carlos carvalhal. we wanted to win, the victory. they deserved to win, andl the victory. they deserved to win, and i can say at 42 minutes, when you divide it, you have greater chances. second—half, my players run and fight, but the game was complicated by then. the best we can do in this moment is forget this one. they'll have to move on quickly. they have a huge game coming up against southampton. yes, on tuesday. what a huge game. let's

talk about west ham, they got a bigger way win today. so much was made of those prote5t5 bigger way win today. so much was made of those protests at the london stadium, that they got a good win? david moyes will be delighted, it looked like the wheels were coming off the season, on and off the field. even though they are not mathematically safe, they should be come the end of the season. they beat leicester 2—0, and their season is petering out. mario with the first goal and then mark noble, the captain, with one of the best goals of the season i have seen, a volley from way outside the box, you must watch that on match of the day later if you can. that looks to have secured premier league status for we st secured premier league status for west ham. we can hear from him now. why not try and finish as high as we can, you know? two home games now. with where we are in the lead, i am pretty sure the fans are going to come and just make the stadium for the last two gains a real good

atmosphere. —— games. finish the season well. and then obviously a lot needs to be done in the summer, because they, personally, and i'm pretty sure the club, done on another season like we had this year. they certainly don't. newcastle united might be hopeful of another season, especially if rafa benitez can sign another contract to 5tay benitez can sign another contract to stay at st james's park. he benitez can sign another contract to stay at stjames's park. he has been the driving force so far this season but the last few games haven't gone as well as he would have hoped, in particular. they are almost on holiday now, beaten and vicarage road 2—1 by watford? holiday now, beaten and vicarage road 2-1 by watford? they have looked like they have been on holiday for the last three games, since they secured premier league status. they have lost three in a row. rafael benitez will be disappointed and how they have played over the last few games. a5 for watford, their first win played over the last few games. a5 for watford, theirfirst win in eight. andre gray scored one of their goals. so, something forjavi gracia to take into the summer.

watford on our mathematically 5afe as well. we can hear from rafa benitez now. we were not in the game. too many mistakes. and then with the penalty, it was a surprise. it could be 3—0. in the second half, we we re it could be 3—0. in the second half, we were more of a it could be 3—0. in the second half, we were more of a team it could be 3—0. in the second half, we were more of a team that we have seen we were more of a team that we have seen for the majority of the season, the team with the right mentality, working hard, trying to play well and creating chances. but it was not enough because we didn't do what we have to do in the first half. let's look at official confirmation of the5e look at official confirmation of these results. crystal palace, a good away win for them. relegating stoke city. a fantastic win for west brom 5hall stoke city. a fantastic win for west brom shall be in against spurs towards the bottom. southampton will be disappointed, the last kick of the game, a goal conceded at everton. that point, as we look at the bottom of the table, it takes them out of the relegation zone. a5 we say... it doesn't take them out of the relegation zone, 5orry. swa nsea of the relegation zone, 5orry. swansea city are in 17th, level on 33? it should come on goal

difference. they are —19, and swansea are at —20 six. they have crept out of the bottom three. a great result on paper, but they should have won that game. west brom shall be and, unbelievably, they are still in the premier league as it stands at the moment with one week left. can nagpaul off the impossible? west bromwich albion, i was going to say they will be looking for a goal swing of about four or five looking for a goal swing of about four orfive goals looking for a goal swing of about four or five goals and they will hope that both swansea and southampton lo5e hope that both swansea and southampton lose their final games and they can win theirs. that is how they can still mathematically 5tay open. the top of the table, a huge game to come at stamford bridge. totte n ha m game to come at stamford bridge. tottenham hot5pur will be looking over their shoulder? not a lot of action at the top of the table, tottenham hotspur lost to west brom. the gap between them and chelsea is just five points. chelsea might have a sniff of blood with tottenham dropping points. they have a game in hand. they play liverpool tomorrow.

if they win that, the gap is just two points. champions league foot ball two points. champions league football is still a possibility for chelsea. plenty to look forward to in the premier league. before we get to liverpool and the champions league final, a lot to look forward to in the premier league. very worrying time for tottenham fan5, chelsea will have their tails. in the scottish premiership, dundee's place in the top flight is just about secure for next season after a 1—0 win over hamilton academical at dens park. dundee took the lead through kevin holt in the first half. but hamilton failed to convert a late penalty, a5 dundee went 5ix points clear of the playoff positon, with two games left to play. this is the missed penalty, right down the middle. al5o coming up in the programme... it's the second stage of cycling's giro d'italia, find out who ended the day in the leaders pinkjersey. now, it's the final day of the season in

rugby union's premiership with plenty of permuatations. wasps and newcastle went head to head to see who would grab a third placed finish for the play—offs. in the end, wasps held onto that third position with a with a convincing bonus—point victory. it finished 39—22 at kingston park, a5 adam wild report5... basking in the north—east 5un, for newcastle another moment to shine in what has been a dazzling 5ea5on. already a55ured a play—off place, but so were the visitors. like many a warm engli5h day, wasps were causing problems. tom cruse with the opening try of the afternoon. they went further ahead before the break, elliot daly finding himself in plenty of space before danny cipriani stretched his way through to extend the lead. newcastle were unbeaten at home since november, but that impre55ive run looked to have ended whenjimmy gopperth ended this brilliant move.

wa5p5, fifth with a flourish. defying the odds is what newcastle have done all season, three quick tries getting kingston park back on its feet. any faint hopes were dashed in the dying moments, willie le roux taking the long way round. wasps will finish third, but for newcastle a play—off place remains an extraordinary achievement. elsewhere in the premiership, leicester tigers claimed a bonus—point win over sale to ensure champions cup rugby next season. the tigers beat sale 35—13, 5coring four trie5, with two of those from jonah holmes. so the line—up for the premiership semi—finals is complete — leaders exeter will play newcastle, while saracens ho5t wasps in a mouthwatering match—up. both ties will be played on the 19th of may. sports fans hoping for a rainy day so sports fans hoping for a rainy day so you have a good excuse to stay in and watch the semifinal 5aw

he won at burghley in september, and in kentucky last month — the badminton title would make him only the third rider to win the rare and coveted triple crown. cross—country day at badminton is always influential. this year has been particularly so for several reasons. firstly, the governing body have change the scoring system slightly, dressage is slightly less influential. also, it is incredibly hot today and the ground has been sticky. it has been really hard work. one man has been standing next to me that knows onlyjust how difficult it has been, 0liver townend. you are in second place, but only just. you are on the same penalty points, but because your time was not as quick, you are currently in second place but you have done very well today. the horses have been great. as you said, the ground is very, very sticky. the weather, the sun is shining, which is great for the public, not so good for us. a mixture of the worst possible conditions we could possibly have. the horses have dug deep and we are close. you were in the lead
