hello, and welcome to sportsday. a beautiful shot, a first goal of the season, vincent kompany gives manchester city the premier league title initiative. no mohammed salah or roberto firmino for liverpool as they look to pull off a huge champions league comeback against barcelona. and judd trump is the snooker world champion for the first time after a brilliant display againstjohn higgins. hello and welcome to sportsday. thanks forjoining us. it was his first goal of the season and one

of the best goals you'll see, but most importantly it may have won manchester city the title. captain vincent kompany broke the deadlock against leicester in the 70th minute to give his side a one point lead over liverpool going into sunday's final day of the season. our sports correspondent andy swiss was watching at the etihad. have we just seen the decisive moment of this extraordinary title race? you can see from the celebrations of the manchester city players at the final whistle just what this meant to them because, make no mistake, this was a nerve—racking night for city fans. for the first 70 minutes they couldn't find a way through leicester city. you could feel the tension rising inside the set stadium. but then with 20 minutes left a quite spectacular strike from

the captain gave them the victory they so sorely wanted, as ben reports. if you enjoyed this title race you're keeping good company. this must win evening provided one of the pounds—mac must see moments. it was a was likely to be a night of tension. 0ne it was a was likely to be a night of tension. one way you would not be sitting comfortably. and for the first half it was edge of your seat stuff. the margins seemed finer than ever, sergio aguero was as close as manchester city got. they grew impatient, pep remained impassive, lester remained impenetrable. this was fast turning into city boss mike everest. they set up base camp in the leicester half, sterling over, patients running out. aguero saved, time running out, vincent company... the goal, the moment of the season that would be replayed again and

again. and again. the blue moon rising, sending back to the top of the table, also the story goes. leicester had a chance to ruin that fairy tale three minutes from time only to fluff their lines. nothing could deny city tonight. there could still be one more twist on this one. after all, who could have predicted that? we played incredible. more offensive, than they have in the more last games, but they didn't decide to defend so deep and so physicality incredible team incredible players good manager. but we make more than this outstanding second half, knowing what we were playing for. and i am sorry for many

people while we are still there. playing for. and i am sorry for many people while we are still therem is not about the amount of goals you score it is when you score them. and today it was necessary. we played against a very strong team, we found it difficult, but from the start i think we have the right intensity and the desire to go and win the game and then you have casper in goal making important saves. so what does this all mean for sunday's final day of the season now? it means it is now city's toulouse. they lead the table by a single point, so if city win their final match of the season at brighton then they will be the champions and obviously that is a match you would expect manchester city very much to win because brighton have narrowly avoided relegation, although they did play impressively yesterday against arsenal. so liverpool will be hoping that city might slip up,

may be a draw or a defeat, it seems unlikely but we are waiting for a twist at this point in the season. and liverpool know that if city slip up and liverpool know that if city slip up they could yet snatch the title if they can beat wolves, though on paper that is a far tougher match than manchester city's. so one thing thatis than manchester city's. so one thing that is guaranteed is this enthralling title race is going right down to the very wire. but after this extraordinary turn of events, what a goal that was by vincent, very much the goal of the season. vincent, very much the goal of the season. and it is manchester city's title to lose. they've taken the title race to the final day but before that there's the small matter of a champions league semi final against barcelona for liverpool. jurgen klopp's side need an epic comeback at anfield tomorrow night to overturn a three zero deficit from the first leg. and they'll have to do it without forwards mohammed salah and roberto firmino who are both out

with injury, asjim lumsden reports. 0ne one thing is for sure, it is not how you want to rescue a semifinal against one of the world does make their sites. mohammed sal are out after a collision during saturday, when at newcastle. roberto firmino are suffering from a muscle injury. two of the worlds best strikers are not available tomorrow night. and we have to score four goals against barcelona to go through after 90 minutes. it doesn't make life easy but still, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch then we will try, and everyone knows that, and thatis try, and everyone knows that, and that is what we want to show, nothing else. barcelona promptly treated their sympathy. a magnanimous gesture from a side 3—0 up. so without seller and the nino, who is likely to fill their boots?

the semifinal stage beckons for new anfield stars to be born. we have two of our main goal scorers off, but it also presents an opportunity for some of the lads to come in and make a for some of the lads to come in and makea name for some of the lads to come in and make a name for themselves and make themselves heroes. and then there is messy. despite being i—0 themselves heroes. and then there is messy. despite being 1—0 down in the first game liverpool were on the up until the magician twice cast a spell, his second goal and extraordinary free kick. wherever lionel messi as he will be difficult to deal with. take risks against barcelona and they punish you. that is how it is. you have to be solid all the time. there is a lot on the liverpool plate in the next seven days, the climbing of their thrilling premier league battle with manchester city, and barcelona at anfield. pulling off either will be quite a stretch. it's been a night to remember forjudd trump he's won his first snooker world championship. leading 16 nine againstjohn higgins at the start of the final session, trump hit a break of 94 to move

within one frame of victory, and then secured the trophy in the very next frame. it means trump has completed snooker‘s ‘triple crown', winning the world championship, the uk championship and the masters. he's also become the first player in history to win over a million pounds in a single season. it's an amazing final, i think the standard from the very first session, the very first ball, john is such a great player, i always seem to raise my game and still don't beat him. every time i play himi don't beat him. every time i play him i play amazing and he beats me every time. that's probably the best i've ever played in a major final. and i still didn't feel relaxed coming into the session tonight, i think i've lost some big leads against him in the past and the standard he was playing, and i was... i don't know, i can't put it

into words. how well i played and that's what you've got to do to beat john. the marathon world record holder eliud kipchogay, is going to have another attempt at breaking the two hour barrier this autumn. his current best is two hours, one minute and 39 seconds but he has an even faster unofficial time. it is possible. i tried two years ago, but i ran short of 25 seconds. i always say the world is 25 seconds away. this time i think i am confident that i will do it. it is about humanity. you can cope... your limitation, you can break the barrier if you believe it. that is all from sports day. coming up, the papers.
