arsenal and manchester united have both made it through to the semi—finals. united beat granada 2—nil at old trafford to comfortably go through as a—nil winners on aggregate. but it was arsenal who had the result of the night. the gunners were relentless in the czech republic as they put four past slavia prague, to go through as 5—1winners over their two legs. joe lynskey rounds up the action. arsenal want to keep a 25 year run going. forthe arsenal want to keep a 25 year run going. for the last quarter of the century they've always played in europe. but to qualify again they may have to win the europa league. this night and proud takes them a step closer. love you hadn't lost at home for a 21 games. but arsenal were... that goal started six minutes that sealed the tie. soon arsenal had a penalty 31 on aggregate. for sacca trophy would

help them stand out even more. he's stilljust 19 and wants to play for england this summer. goes like this make them hard to ignore. this was one of arsenal is best night of the season. against a side who'd roughed up season. against a side who'd roughed up to british teams before. lack is that danced around them for for —— nil. arsenal look to the next round against theirformer nil. arsenal look to the next round against their former manager. manchester united won this tournament four years ago this year there front lines been too much for most teams. cavalli own gold made a comfortable against granada they go into the 70s. it could all lead to a final between two primary clubs arsenal there would be more at stake. a20 sixth year in europe, it will all depend on this trophy. well arsenal's win will have given a boost to their captain pierre emerick—aubameyang. he missed tonight's game

after revealing on social media that he's contracted malaria. he picked up the illness when he recently returned to gabon on international duty. he says he'll be back back "stronger than ever — soon". and the draw for the semi—finals was made before tonight's games, so we know arsenal will face villereal — while manchester united will play roma. the first legs will be two weeks tonight. sheffield wednesday manager darren moore has revealed he's contracted pneumonia. moore has suffered complications, including blood clots on the lungs, following a recent bout of coronavirus. he only returned to the touchline for tuesday's championship defeat by swansea, following a spell in self—isolation — but he'll now take a further unspecified period of leave. now it's turning it quite the week for dan evans. the british number one won his first match on clay for four years

on monday and now he's beaten novak djokovic at the monte carlo masters. evans had never faced the current world number one before, and on his least favourite surface, he pulled off the biggest win of his career. as jim lumsden reports. not many gave him a chance, but evans had never played a djokovic, so anything was possible. the perfect start for the british number one, an immediate break of serve. djokovic had lavish praise on evans this week, calling him smart, explosive, and possessing a great variety in his game. the momentum had been building for evans, a first atp title injanuary, two victories on clay this week, his first in almost four years on the red stuff. and soon, the first that was his 6—a. evans burns him with a past. attempted to regain control, sending evans around the court, but the briton looked drained but dove deep. he served for the match. evans held his nerve

for the biggest win of his career, a straight sets victory over the world number two ——one who hadn't played badly — his opponent had just been superb. jim lunsden, bbc news. of course i doubted myself in those matches, in the match, you know, serving it out is not easy, you know? you've got all sorts running through your head. so i'm just happy with how it went. you know, it'll be one to savour for maybe after the tournament, to tell the kids and grandkids you beat the world number one. it's nice. meanwhile, great britain have named their team for friday's billiejean king cup play—off tie with mexico — what is the revamped fed cup. there's a return for katie boulter in the first match. she suffered a stress fracture in her back the last time she played for britain two years ago — she's been picked ahead of the higher ranked harriet dart. there's nojohanna konta though,

so heather watson leads the team. victory would put them through to a one off qualifier, the winner of which competes in a new—look 12 team final in april next year. we now know the draw for the first round of this year's world snooker championship — and ronnie o'sullivan begins his quest for a record—equalling seventh world title against debutant markjoyce, who's ranked a6th in the world. elsewhere, uk championship winner neil robertson starts against liang wenbo, while the world number one judd trump will face liam highfield. molly renshaw looks set for a place at tokyo 2020 after winning gold and setting a new british record in the 200 metre breaststroke, at the olympic trials in london. renshaw finished in two minutes and 20.89 seconds to knock just over a second off the previous record. second—placed abbie wood is likely tojoin her injapan. scotland will be without captain

rachel malcolm for their six nations match against italy this weekend. evie gallagher comes in to take her place, for her first start. that's one of four changes by the scots. the winners on sunday will go on to meet either france or ireland in a third—place play—off. and that's all the sport for now. have a very good night. hello there. it's turning chilly quickly this evening, but it was a fine spring day for much of the country. the sun was certainly out across western scotland, and it was in the west of scotland that we saw highest the temperatures, around 15 celsius. quite a bit cooler, though, in the north easterly breeze for the southeast of england and east anglia, where we saw more cloud and some showers. those showers having drifted down towards hampshire will fade away overnight, and it's going to turn dry and clear in most areas. there will be some mist and fog patches forming across parts of the southeast later on in the night. quite a widespread frost again,

temperatures similar to where we had them last night, maybe a little bit milder, though across northern ireland and the northwest of scotland, where we've got that southerly breeze that'll continue into tomorrow. mist and fog patches will clear fairly readily, i think i'm in the morning. a sunny start for most, then the cloud will tend to bubble up and spread out a bit in [and across the uk. so the best of the sunshine around coastal areas. away from the northwest of scotland, where we've got some rain arriving in the western isles. otherwise, it's a dry day, similar temperatures to today — could make 15 celsius through the central belt of scotland and around the marie firth. but the pollen levels are going to be high. we're in the peak of the tree pollen season, and levels will be higher across east anglia and the southeast than they were today because it'll be dry with some sunshine. high pressure is in charge of our weather as we head into the weekend. it's keeping these weather fronts at bay. overnight, any rain in the northwest of scotland will fade away. and it looks like saturday will be a dry day. again, breezy towards western scotland and northern ireland. the sunshine may turn a bit hazy. for many parts of the uk, it's going to be dry with some

lengthy spells of sunshine and light winds, too. and temperatures may be peaking at 1a—15 celsius again, and that's near—normal for this time of year. as we head into the second half of the weekend, we start to see these weather fronts pushing further into the uk from off the atlantic — that means more cloud for scotland and northern ireland on sunday, and perhaps some patchy light rain in the northwest of scotland, western parts of northern ireland. some of the cloud could push into england and wales. it looks dry here, though, the sunnier skies towards eastern parts of england and through the midlands. and temperatures will be higher here — so those temperatures are finally rising as we lose the breeze from off the north sea, 15—16 celsius. as we head into next week, there's a lot of dry weather still, and it should be turning in most areas a little bit warmer, as well.
