sean dyche's burnley are the party poopers putting a spanner in chelsea's quest for a top fourfinish. all four one. brazilian striker leonardo scores all of al wahda's goals as they stage a dramatic asian champions league comeback. fernando verdasco prevails in the battle of the veterans at the barcelona open. hello and thanks for joining us on sport today. we start in the english premier league where chelsea missed a chance to tighten their grip on a top 4 spot. they were held to a 2—2 draw at home to burnley. in a breathless start, jeff hendrick opened the scoring for the visitors afterjust 8 minutes before ngolo kante and then gonzalo higuain gave chelsea the lead with 2 quickfire goals. that was all before the quarter of an hour mark. it didnt stop there — ashley barnes drawing burnley level on 2a minutes. thats how it stayed. chelsea, who had manager maurizio sarri sent to the stands, were unhappy with what they perceived to be time—wasting tactics by the visitors but burnley with a precious point,

are now almost certainly safe from relegation. technical players cost a lot of money. we have to develop players, we have to develop a team and wherever we go in the country. it's very difficult. you saw the start tonight, fantastical stop in the early pa rt tonight, fantastical stop in the early part of the game, we score, they score, they were still really high tempo, probing, asking questions but we have a resilience andi questions but we have a resilience and i think we saw the top in the second half and as the day warm on, we had a great chance. and then we have to defend. it's part of the game. sometimes we have to do that. we wanted to win obviously and obviously they didn't want to lose. what we are unhappy with is we believe in the second half, there

was too much wasted time in five minutes wasn't, in our opinion, enough. so here is how things look at the top of the premier league table. the race for the top 4 almost as interesting as the race for the title. with rivals tottenham, arsenal and manchester united all losing over the weekend, chelsea will be frustrated that they could not take full advantage — a win would have taken them into third, two points ahead of spurs. that draw though takes them up to 4th. over in italy, napoli's poor run of form continues. they lost at home 2—1 to atalanta so it means they've now gotjust the one win in 7 matches in all competitions but for atalanta they've really surged into contention for a top fourfinish. it was all going to plan for carlo ancelotti's napoli. dries mertens giving the home side the lead just before the half hour mark. a 12th goal of the season for the belgian forward. but duvan za pata's career best season shows no sign of abating.

the colombian playing against the club that brought him to italy, pulling atalanta level with 20 minutes to go. the former napoli player's 21st league goal of the season sees him second in the serie a goalscoring charts. he then turned creator backheeling for mario pasalic to score the winner in the 80th minute. napoli remain second six points ahead of inter milan while atalanta move level on points with 4th placed ac milan. eintracht frankfurts push for champions league football next season continues although they would probably feel hard done by not to have picked up all 3 points at wolfsburg. it was a 1—1 draw that keeps them in 4th place. frankfurt broke the deadlock after a rebounded strike fell forjonathan de guzman, the dutch midfielder taking a touch before slotting past pavao pervan with 12 minutes to go, but with the clock in the last minute of normal time, wolfsburg struck back after a run from deep by anthony brooks resulted in a close—range finish. frankfurt stay 4th 2 points clear of 5th placed borussia moenchengladbach.

in the asian champions league — lokomotiv tashkent and al ittihad drew 1—1 in group b. romarinho gave the away side the lead early on. that goal was cancelled out later in the first half by lokomotiv‘s temurkhuja abdukholikov. however they were reduced to 10 men in the second half, but held on seal a point against the saudi side. al—ittihad are top of the group, with lokomotiv bottom. emirati side al wahda staged the most dramatic of comebacks to beat al rayyan of qatar 4—3 in abu dhabi. 27—year—old brazilian striker leonardo scored all four of al wahda's goals, including this last gasp winner. his side top the standings on nine points from four games. al rayyan remain bottom of the pile. omar al—soma scored twice as al—ahli saudi defeated iran's persepolis 2—1 in group d. al ahli improve to six points in group d while 2018 acl runners—up

persepolis slip to the bottom of the group with four points. baghdad bounedjah scored the winner three minutes from time as al sadd of qatar moved to the top of group d with a 2—1 win over uzbekistan‘s pakhtakor in doha. jesualdo ferreira's side now top the group d standings on seven points from four games, one ahead of al—ahli saudi. now it promises to be a huge year for women's sport and this year's football world cup in france looks set to be the biggest ever. voting is now open for this year's bbc women's footballer of the year award. the award is in it's fifth year and we're hearing from all five nominees over the course of the week. today is the turn of a star striker olympique lyonnais‘ ada hegerberg who won the inaugural ballon d'or award and lifted the champions league for a third successive year.

is elsewhere at times and has made plenty of mistakes. cahill has created plenty of opportunities and already appears to feel at home in the crucible. he'll return to the table on tuesday with a 5 frames to 4 lead in a best of 19 contest. three—time champion mark selby has survived a difficult first round battle with chinese qualifier zhao xintong. selby won by 10 frames to 7. it was all about the usa in the skydiving contest. they took three gold medals, including one for the 12— and 13—year—old siblings noah and kayleigh wittenburg who took the title, in the dynamic 2—way open. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me marc edwards and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye.

there is some good news on the weather front if you have been enjoying the fine weather in the last few days. we have one more day of decent weather on tuesday, a lot of sunshine around and temperatures still into the 20s. after that it really will be all change. in fact, it will cool off dramatically and we have showers and thunderstorms potentially on the way. on the satellite already, the picture is looking very u nsettled. you can see clouds swirling around here. weather fronts as well, patterns actually, but these weather fronts are heading in our direction and in around 24—36 hours time they will arrive and we will see downpours. first in the country's south—west and then in other parts of the uk as well. for the time being, tuesday looks relatively quiet, notjust in the uk but in much

of western, north—western europe into scandinavia as well. morning temperatures are between six and i2 celsius though not as chilly as it was yesterday morning. and then in the afternoon it is business as usual. a lot of sunshine around, warm south south—easterly wind, not quite as warm. we had temperatures around 25 degrees in the last few days and i think around 22 or 23 across southern and central areas. still making around 20 in the lowlands of scotland and just shy of 20 for belfast but another fine day on the way. here is tuesday night into wednesday and the high pressure that has been bringing us the fine weather slips away towards the east and this big area of messy weather with its weather fronts, this big area of low pressure is starting to push in. from the early hours of wednesday we will start to see rain moving into cornwall, devon, parts of wales as well, central and southern england and the midlands as well some could be downpours with thunderstorms and watch what happens through the day on wednesday. difficult to say which towns and cities will get the downpours

at what time but suffice to say it will be a lot more unsettled on wednesday compared to the last few days. scotland is still looking fine but the north sea coast may be a little on the cool side there. some cloud as well. that is midweek — towards the end of the week it really will be a big change because we even say goodbye to the mild air. the warm air is long gone but colder currents of air from the north atlantic arrive, breezy conditions as well, showers possible. so the outlook says it all, really — a lot of shower symbols here with temperatures dropping to below average for some of us and towards the weekend even struggling to make double figures across northern areas.
