knockout finals. when you are in the knockout stages of the champions league, that final seems feasible. tottenham have a lwa ys final seems feasible. tottenham have always said they are in it to win it, and after this game, this 3—0 win over the german league leaders, maybe they are right. wembley may be football's ultimate destination. for spurs, it's the home which isn't home. still, if you're walking, march with belief. there is a suspicion at tottenham that football's almost forgotten them. tonight, hmm. .. they had a statement to make. in a flash, lucas moura for tottenham. . . missed. remember, they're without the injured harry kane and dele alli. borussia dortmund, though, did have one of england's most exciting attackers, the teenage feet of jadon sancho. he left england to seek opportunity in germany and often left spurs getting. and often left spurs guessing. no foul spotted here by the referee. tottenham's goalkeeper had to stay fully alert. goalless, just, at half time. the second half, it all changed. first, watch out for son. there he is, you found him.

in the absence of others, this man's been tottenham's inspiration. just wait for the smile. there. jan vertonghen is a central defender who'd been playing like a left—winger, and finished this like. . . harry kane. in the closing minutes, spurs brought on fernando llorente. when he scored, well, this night became one of the nights. pinch yourself, it happened. joe wilson, bbc news, wembley. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, will perry.

the headlines tonight... it's a wembley night to remember for tottenham, who hit three past borussia dortmund in the champions league. racing returns after a a six—day shutdown because of equine flu. and heavyweight boxing world champion anthonyjoshua will fight in the us for the first time injune. good evening. we start at wembley, where tottenham kicked off their quest for a place in the quarterfinals of the champions league in some style, making a real statement by beating the bundesliga leaders borussia dortmund 3—0. our sports correspondent, joe wilson, is there for us. joe, what a night for mauricio potchetino's side! let's talk about wembley. spurs fans

have been reluctant and sceptical about this place for most of the season. about this place for most of the season. pochettino said let's make it feel like a home ground and it really was. a few thousand spurs fa ns really was. a few thousand spurs fans do not want to leave, they are not sure they want to go home. the game itself really changed in the second half. it was goalless in the first half. look at jan vertonghen. that cross into song. a great finish! he was really the energy. the tonga is playing an unfamiliar role. wingback will centre forward? ——jan role. wingback will centre forward? —— jan vertonghen. that was 2—0. then on pounds the rent a —— then on pounds llorente. what we have to

reflect on for tottenham hotspur tonight was an all—round performance of unity and team spirit. you mentioned them missing players, harry kane and dele alli. huge players to be out for spurs. spurs have not spent a single penny in the tra nsfer have not spent a single penny in the transfer window and they should be in their new stadium as well. absolutely. so many things you could perceive as being against tottenham. they had to play on sunday in the league and had this game tonight. what pochettino has done is generate tea m what pochettino has done is generate team spirit. so many times we have been thinking, why don't spurs sign someone been thinking, why don't spurs sign someone else? the injuries have come and you have seen players here tonight playing out of position but playing above themselves. so many times players seem to have come to totten and got better and the pochettino for that really this is a

victory for style, his management with his ability to get the best out of his players. helping to generate an atmosphere wembley that felt like an atmosphere wembley that felt like a home ground. that is joe wilson lied at wembley. what a night for the spurs fans! in the night's other champions league tie, the holders real madrid left it late to beat ajax 2—1 in amsterdam. after karim benzema put real ahead with a stunner, the dutch side had done well to level the game at 1—1, especially after having a goal ruled out by var. but the defending champions continued to press and marco asensio scored the winner in the 87th minute. liverpool managerjurgen klopp has been charged by the fa following comments he made in a post—match interview after the premier league game at west ham last week. klopp's been accused of questioning the integrity of the match referee or implying bias. that game finished i—i at the london stadium. following his death yesterday, the tributes have continued to pour in for england's world cup winning goalkeeper gordon banks. he was probably most famous for this iconic save from the brazilian legend pele at the 1970 world cup, and today the three time world cup

winner paid a special tribute, describing banks one of his best friends. my dear brazilian friends, many times we have to give some news that does not please everyone. imagine me, who hasjust lost one of my best friends. despite being opposite in football, he was a goalkeeper and i was a striker, but unfortunately banks, one of the world's goalies, has died. —— best goalies. beyond being friends outside the football pitch we played in the same team because banks was a great person and this news makes all of us who love football, who like the good and nice people, it us very sad. so let's pray that his family and friends don't suffer too much and that god receives him with all of his love in heaven. prize money in sport

and the pay gap between men and women has been raised again today — this time in parliment. vicky foxcroft, the mp for lewisham, raised the debate about the prize money on offer in both the men's and women's fa cup. for advancing to the fourth round the men earn £180,000 but the women £2,000. foxcroft asked for the same to be given to both genders and prime minister theresa may hopes the football assoiation have heard of pa rliments dissapointment. as the president of the wall grade girls football club i am very willing to commend all those girls and females who play football. i think members across this house have been concerned to hear of the disparity in the winnings she has raised with this house. this is a matter for the football authorities by sure they have heard the concern expressed in this house about the current position. horseracing re—started in the uk

after a six day suspension. an outbreak of equine flu led to a shut—down that lasted 6 days, and there were concerns it may have affected the cheltenham festival next month. but racing authorities are satisfied that the risk is now contained. 0ur sports news correspondent richard conway has spent the day at plumpton, where runners were back on the course — a huge relief for racing — back in business. it was a good day's racing at plumpton, a successful event with a good crowd. this is the beating heart beat of british racing. it is tracks like this where owners and trainers and jockeys make their living week in and week out. the six—day suspension of racing was a cce pta ble six—day suspension of racing was acceptable in some cases. at this time of year you sometimes lose fixtures to bad weather. there was anxiety which will go on past six days. at that point it will cause serious issues economically for eve ryo ne serious issues economically for everyone who relies on racing for a

living. i have been round and about today talking to various people who have been at the course. first from chris gibson, who talks about the need to protect animal welfare and wyatt was right or his decision. we are a huge industry. what it does show is the vaccines have been working the horses who have had it that have been vaccinated. very small physical signs are showing. it isa small physical signs are showing. it is a real bonus. the horses who come here today they are at extra risk of attracting a virus. they think it is the right thinkers is we have a ten day break in the summer, so if six—day break is something we do in the summer. the fact we have had one now when there is good reason for it be something to take on the chin. there is a backlog of test results

that need to be analysed. the british horseracing authority says it is mindful about trying to get everyone back up and running. the bio—security measures they have put into place and we have seen in action today are necessary for racing to continue and they said they are pleased that the swift action they have taken has allowed racing to recommence. world heavyweight boxing champion anthonyjoshua is set to fight in the us for the first time. it's been announced that he'll defend his wba, wbo and ibf titles against american jarrel miller on the ist ofjune at new york's maddison square garden. joshua, who's still undefeated, last fought in september, when he beat russian alexander povetkin at wembley. it's not the fight many hoped to see, but with deontay wilder and tyson fury set for a rematch he was running out of options. big baby miller has said come to new york to come here. i am a fat guy, i like eating cheeseburgers. we will

have some fun and sell—out madison square garden. it was an offer that joshua and eddie hearn could not refuse. some bands would be upset. that is the business was to be if you ask for too much money, you miss the bus, that simple. west indies fast bowler shannon gabriel will miss four one day internationals against england following comments he made in the final test in st lucia. gabriel was charged by the icc for breaching their code of conduct. they didn't say if it was a homophobic slur, but based onjoe root‘s reaction, in which he said, "don't use it as an insult, it's ok to be gay", the presumption is it was. there's been a big shock at the welsh 0pen snooker today. masters champion judd trump has been knocked out by the world number 72 duane jones in their second round match in cardiff. trump has been the form player this season but struggled against his welsh opponent, losing the match by 4 frames to 2. ronnie 0'sullivan is through to the third round through. he was a 4—2 winner against china's yu—an si—jun. 0'sullivan made three breaks over 90 in the match. that's all from sportsday with me will perry.
