on the premier league season. all 20 teams were in action and all eyes were on chelsea, leicester city and liverpool as they battled it out for the final two champions league spots. and after defeat at home to tottenham, it's leicester that miss out. well our reporter adam wild joins me in the studio. adam, a busy day, lots to keep across. leicester won't be in the champions league next season — how did it all play out? head has been absolutely breathless in the premier league, as you would expect on the final day. we knew the very top was sorted out, and the very top was sorted out, and the very bottom, but as you say, there was still plenty to sort out. chelsea started the day in third place, but as you say, they lost. they do still just place, but as you say, they lost. they do stilljust qualified for the champions league. let's take a look at some of the action from chelsea. as i say, they started in third. they went to villa park and made life very difficult for themselves.

trial ray scored for them before half—time. villa went 2—0 up, a second added from the penalty spot. chelsea really rattled, big challenges coming in, but they pulled one back through ben gill well. 2—1 was the final score. let's hear from the coach. it well. 2-1 was the final score. let's hear from the coach.— well. 2-1 was the final score. let's hear from the coach. it was the main tar: et, hear from the coach. it was the main target. and — hear from the coach. it was the main target. and we _ hear from the coach. it was the main target, and we accomplished - hear from the coach. it was the main target, and we accomplished this - target, and we accomplished this mission _ target, and we accomplished this mission to— target, and we accomplished this mission to end up in the top four. we know— mission to end up in the top four. we know very well where it came from _ we know very well where it came from this — we know very well where it came from. this is done now. we can be fully— from. this is done now. we can be fully satisfied with that, and now is the _ fully satisfied with that, and now is the moment to breathe, to do a good _ is the moment to breathe, to do a good recovery session tomorrow, take a day— good recovery session tomorrow, take a day off— good recovery session tomorrow, take a day off and _ good recovery session tomorrow, take a day off and prepare on wednesday for the _ a day off and prepare on wednesday for the next match. we are used to playing _ for the next match. we are used to playing these matches now under pressure — playing these matches now under pressure. it's the last weeks, and the nicest — pressure. it's the last weeks, and the nicest one is about to come on saturday, — the nicest one is about to come on saturday, and we will be prepared.

his chelsea side sneaking into fourth by a single point. they of course have that champions league final to look forward to next week as well. that means agony for leicester city once again. they are pushed out of the top four. they finish in fifth place. an extraordinary game at the king power. despairforthem extraordinary game at the king power. despairfor them again. extraordinary game at the king power. despair for them again. jamie vardy opened the scoring from the penalty spot. spurs then went along to equalise. this is harry kane on his potentially final game for tottenham. that goal, incidentally, wince in the premier league golden boot. jamie vardy scored again from the penalty spot. at that point, leicester city were looking like they were going into a champions league spot, but this goal, i think, will go down as a kasper schmeichel own goal. that drew spurs level, and

take a look at this, this is gareth bale. who knows how much longer his first future will go on? this was his second goal of the game, li—2 to spurs, so leicester absolutely agony for them. and liverpool end up in the top four? for them. and liverpool end up in the ten four?— for them. and liverpool end up in the top four? dust goals from sadio mane, the top four? dust goals from sadio mane. doing _ the top four? dust goals from sadio mane. doing the — the top four? dust goals from sadio mane, doing the business _ the top four? dust goals from sadio mane, doing the business for - the top four? dust goals from sadioj mane, doing the business for them. they were taking on... —— two goals. he won't have been too happy with the final result. this is sadio mane's second of the game. liverpool go through, finishing third. what go through, finishing third. what about the other _ go through, finishing third. what about the other european positions? a few more in the europa league to be set up? a few more in the europa league to be set u - ? �* . a few more in the europa league to be set u? h a few more in the europa league to be setu? �*, ., a few more in the europa league to besetu? �*, .,

to that win over leicester, in seventh place, meaning they sneak a place in the new europa conference league, just pipping arsenal into that position, so i suspect not the greatest of seasons, but they will at least be happy about that. find at least be happy about that. and the one team _ at least be happy about that. and the one team we _ at least be happy about that. and the one team we haven't mentioned, manchester city. they have finished the season in style. thet;t manchester city. they have finished the season in style.— the season in style. they certainly did, and would _ the season in style. they certainly did, and would it _ the season in style. they certainly did, and would it be _ the season in style. they certainly did, and would it be our _ the season in style. they certainly did, and would it be our final- the season in style. they certainly did, and would it be our final day. did, and would it be ourfinal day of the premier league without a sergio aguero story? he had his moment. i will come onto that. everton scored early on, —— manchester city scored against everton early on. phil ford and put them up again after half—time. on came sergio aguero, a substitute, and here was his moment, scoring within moments of coming on. that was his first, this was a second. what a moment for sergio aguero. with that second goal, he breaks the

record for the most goals for a single club in the premier league, breaking wayne rooney's record, so a fantastic afternoon for him. we expect them to lift the trophy in the next few minutes. aha, expect them to lift the trophy in the next few minutes.— expect them to lift the trophy in the next few minutes. a perfect way to finish for— the next few minutes. a perfect way to finish for sergio _ the next few minutes. a perfect way to finish for sergio aguero. - the next few minutes. a perfect way to finish for sergio aguero. adam, l to finish for sergio aguero. adam, well done, and thank you for keeping across a very busy day in the premier league. staying with football... morecambe have booked their place at wembley for the league two play—off final. the shrimps beat tranmere 3—2 on aggregate over their two legs. morecambe were 2—1 ahead after the first leg and they got off to the perfect start after aaron wildig put them ahead in the first 10 minutes. tranmere did get a goal back but it wasn't enough to stop the shrimps reaching their first play—off final. they'll face forest green rovers or newport county at wembley. forest green have just taken the lead in the very early stages of that match. now, for a look at some of the day's other sports stories. three riders crashed out of the giro d'italia, early on in the 15th stage,

and racing was suspended for more than 25 minutes. belgium's victor kapanaerts took the victory. egan bernal retained his overall lead ahead of britain's simon yates. britain's eflyn evans has won his first rally of the season at rally de portugal. he started the day 10 seconds clear of his nearest rival and went on to win by almost half a minute. he remains second in the standings behind reigning champion sebastien ogier. and with just a couple of months to go before the tokyo olympics, britain's emily craig and imogen grant won gold in the lightweight, double sculls at the latest world cup event in switzerland. there was also gold in the men's fours. now, it's been a memorable day for max verstappen. he's won his maiden monaco grand prix and, in the process, gone to the top of formula one's world championship for the first time. knocking off reigning champion lewis hamilton in the process.

our correspondent andy swiss reports. so was this the day the title changed direction? max verstappen is delighted as lewis hamilton was dejected. starting seven needed something special and from the moment verstappen led them away the result seemed a formality. around the streets of monaco, overtaking is almost impossible. a spectacular setting perhaps that less than spectacular racing and hamilton were stuck in traffic to his obvious l frustration. how am i still behind l him, man? at least he fared better than his team—mate valtteri bottas. how do you change tyres when they won't budge? race over. no such problems for lando norris who took an impressive third but no one could get near verstappen in what was by and large a victory procession. r— verstappen wins the monaco grand | prix! joy for the dutch fans for the | first time is a the championship as hamilton trailed in seventh. hardly an action packed race but one man at least won't mind. andy swiss, bbc

news. certainly a day max verstappen won't forget in a hurry, and after the race he said he couldn't be happier with how it played out. everything went very well. we looked after our tire as well. the concentration levels for 78 laps is enormous. amazing, and of course, the leader of the championship is a nice bonus. i've said it many times before, it is still a very long season, so we have to keep on top of it, but for now, i am of course super happy. it's not a fun race, because you are 'ust it's not a fun race, because you are just following, you can't overtake. it's just following, you can't overtake. it's a _ just following, you can't overtake. it's a great — just following, you can't overtake. it's a great feeling to win, but the race is— it's a great feeling to win, but the race is really boring. you're doing the same — race is really boring. you're doing the same thing 78 times. a really poor— the same thing 78 times. a really poor performance from the team. definitely —

poor performance from the team. definitely a little bit surprised by it, definitely a little bit surprised by it. but _ definitely a little bit surprised by it, but these things are sent to try us. cameron norrie was beaten in the final of the lyon open. the british number two lost in straight sets to second seed stefanos tsitsipas. that's the greeks second atp title of the season. norrie's been in brilliant form on clay so far. he reached the final of the estoril open earlier this month. but tsitsipas was just too good this afternoon taking the match 6—3, 6—3. there are three matches in super league this afternoon. huddersfield giants thrashed bottom side leigh centurions by 44 points to six. wakefield trinity beat hull kingston rovers 28—12. and leeds rhinos host hull fc later on tonight. scotland'sjosh taylor woke up this morning as the first undisputed british world champion in boxing's four—title era. taylor beatjose ramirez in their light—welter—weight unification fight in las vegas last night. taylor twice had the american down on the canvas, as he produced a dominant

performance, making himjust the fifth boxer to hold all four belts in a division. meanwhile, on the same night it was announced that tyson fury will fight deontay wilder for a third time on the 24th ofjuly. it means the much—anticipated british boxing showdown between anthonyjoshua and tyson fury won't be happening this summer. the pair had agreed to fight in august — but a legal obligation means fury has to take on the american first. great britain have added another gold medal as they dominate the european aquatics championships. olympic champion adam peaty got his his fourth gold, in the medley—relay. they broke the championship record in the process. ben proud added another silver medal in the men's 50

metres freestyle, losing out on goal by eight hundredths of a second. a silver too for cassie wild in the 200m backstroke — as james guy and max litchfield both took bronze. adam peaty is going for his fourth gold in the medley—relay later this evening. well, there's lots more on all of those stories on the bbc sport website, including the latest from the final round of golf�*s us pga championship. but that's all from sportsday — bye for now. welcome to click! hope you're doing ok! this week, we're going to be talking

a lot about taking photos. so, lara, you know how we have all been looking for new hobbies to help fill the time during lockdown, yeah? i've been very busy colouring in with my eight—year—old. oh, lovely! so she's got her colouring—in book and you've got an adult colouring—in book and you sit next to each other, do you? no! i only do the children's ones because i think the grown—up ones are too fiddly! anyway, what have you been up to? chuckles. well, let me tell you, you know those amazing photos of the stars in the night sky that you can get by taking a long exposure photo? well, i've kind of been getting into that, and it turns out that astronomy as a whole has become a much bigger deal in the last year. i suppose it's something you can do in your back garden when you're on your own and can't go out. exactly! so you might think that you'd need a big dslr and a telescope to get those kind of shots. but no. turns out you might already have everything you need in your pocket. so i wanted to find out more about this, so i asked tv host, space journalist and author

sarah cruddas to try a bit of astrophotography on her smartphones.
