good evening — welcome along. fulham have been relegated from the premier league this evening, after a 4—1 thumping at watford. it consigns their fate to championship football from august, after a turbulent one season stay in the top flight, has left them with a total ofjust 17 points with five games to go. they willjoin huddersfield, who were already relegated on saturday. well our reporter joe lynskey is here. it was a tall order this evening, and the scoreline reflected that. it was going to be a difficult ask for them. they felt the pain tonight. this confirms with five games of their season still left to play as well, but the results tonight has meetings. this is it now. you can see here,

relegated alongside huddersfield. it is the first time we've had two sides go down this early and had their relegation confirm since 1995. fulham had to avoid defeat tonight to have any mathematical hope of keeping going in this division but they were beaten comprehensively, 4—1 at watford. the away side did have one brief moment in this game when ryan babel made it 1—1 just before half—time — the dutchman who they signed injanuary‘s been one of their few bright psparks this season. bright sparks this season. but in the second half, watford made it comprehensive — will hughes, troy deeney and kiko femenia with the goals that make sure fulham who were only promoted to this level last season, are going straight back down. bitterly disappointed. really devastated for the football club and the fans. i think we all know it was a tough ask, but i suppose it is the

way we lost again tonight, which is probably most disappointing to be fair. it does draw the curtains on a turbulent season. just explain how full of them have got here and i could see some of those figures in the background there. a ghost back to last summer really. fussed up below will have to pick up the pieces pretty quickly. —— it all goes back must not relegation it will be a b: that finance going into next season especially after spending a record amount on transfer fees, for newly promoted club. 12 sightings before the august deadline, no theme that has been for more spent that much. they also gone through to permanent managers. that's no team has gone to that much. the first football manager earn good reviews but was sacked earlier, then appointed claudia. they described it as a risk—free appointment but he left after three

wins. scott parker who was talking there is the caretaker going down with the ship now. they now have a decision whether to stick with them in the championship or go to somebody else. we will see. a turbulent season as a whole for them but a turbulent night for manchester united. it was. we will see an excited and every goal that saw them lose this match. they shampoo for man united. i will show you a step from a football reporter simon stone. —— a statistic from. they did go in front. united had started well when they opened the scoring through scott mctominay — his first goal for the club in his mst appearance, united should've had more but wolves euqlaised through diogo jota, scoring just like he did in that cup match. the game then possibly turned with this decision from referee mike dean,

he handed out his 100th premier league red card — the first ref to get to that figure — to ashley young in the second half. and with their man advantage wolves captalised with this calamitous goal thanks to a philjones and chris smalling mix up. it's a set back then for united's new permanent manager. the first 20 minutes, we should have been through it up and i am not exaggerating either. they keep or make some fantastic states. we created a big chance it's a big promise in the game, but we just did not pounce on them. that is supple for you sometimes. today, 100% improvement from last time we came here. but the same result. —— that is football.

solskjaer not happy — this is how his side are going to have to pick themselves up, they now don't play again until that huge champions league match against barcelona at old trafford next week, and solskjaer is going to have to prove his motivation credentials to pick his side back up after this one. thank you. let's have a quick look at some of the other day's sports headlines. bolton's next two home games could be played behind closed doors on safety grounds. the championship side, who are in the relagtion zone, say that they they are unable to address the obligations of its safety certificate until after a high court hearing tomorrow. jos buttler made 59, as the rajasthan royals won their first match of the ipl season with a seven wicket victory over the royal challengers bangalore. they chased down their target of 159 with one ball to spare injaipur. rcb remain bottom of the table having lost all four of their matches so far.

in a park in leicester, it is street cricket. a regular session run by the chance to shine charity. joining in this evening, alex hales. the role he relishes an international batsman. the wake of 2017's bristol fight, he was disciplined by a cricket commission. he committed to undertaking some community service. so he is coaching care for some and maybe that should include some life skills. when you make a mistake, you learn and get better in a mixed develop of the human being. that is most important thing for me to lie. if people feel that you have to redeem yourself in some way, do you feel that opportunity in that community is there? i think so. the bristol thing was a really u nfortu nate bristol thing was a really unfortunate incident. all six of us we re unfortunate incident. all six of us were caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time in if we can go back and change things we we could but we have to live with the consequent this. i like to think people does every second chance. and that is what i am looking at things. what do you think is the most significant

lesson you have learned? just how much you are in the public eye as cricketers commit to not put yourself in those situations in a member series at 230 in the morning after a game, probably not the place to be as a sportsman. i would say be a bit more mature and sensible. alex hales has england dreams and world cup here of course, life will be simpler if all his mistakes could be cricket ones. mick schumacher, son of the seven time champion michael, made his formula one test debut today with his father's old team ferrari. the 20—year—old won the european formula 3 championship last year, and joined the team's academy earlier this year. inge stracke is an f1 journalist based in munich. he was leading, actually, which is unbelievable up until about ten minutes towards the end. so a he and that his first day of formula 1
