hello and welcome to sportsday. coming up... what a way to bow out. in the final race of his career, jockey sam waley—cohen wins the grand national. anthony gordon gives everton a huge boost in their bid

for premier league survival. and england run riot against wales in front of a record crowd in gloucester in the women's six nations. also coming up in the programme... ferrari's charles leclerc grabs pole from red bull's max verstappen in qualifying for the australian grand prix. welcome along to sportsday. so much sport to bring you on one of the busiest weekends of the year — but we'll start with the grand national, which provides some brilliant stories, and the 147th edition of the famous race at aintree didn't disappoint. jockey sam waley—cohen

won onboard noble yeats in the final race of his career, on a horse that was bought for him by his father robert and trained by emmet mullins. a remarkable way to bow out. our correspondent laura scott is at aintree. it really was, to quote sam waley—cohen, the winning jockey, he said that's beyond words, a fairy tale and a fantasy. but this is reality. he was a 50—1 shot in the race. the only amateur among the a0 jockeys in the race. few would have backed him because he was a 50—1 chance, butjudging by the reception he got here at aintree among the 70,000 strong crowd, no one was begrudging him his fairy tale finish to his career. it was a really thrilling finish to the race. he beat any second now, who finished second. delta work was third, santini fourth and fiddlerontheroof fifth. but of course the story everyone will go home with today

from aintree is that ride for sam waley—cohen, his final ever ride. he only announced on thursday that he was going to retire from racing. his horse noble yeats was bought for him by his father robert only two months ago to give him this final ride and itjust proved to be the perfect swansong to a very successful career for sam waley—cohen, that has included winning a cheltenham gold cup. if you were to write to spec for the way you'd want your career to end, this is surely what you would write. remarkable. one other line from aintree, and after the race it was confirmed that all horses have returned or are in the process of returning to the stables unhurt. football, and everton boosted their premier league survival hopes with a win over manchester united in the early game. the three points could prove priceless as they look to avoid the drop, frank lampard's side are now four points off the bottom three.

while the loss for united proved another blow for their top four hopes. joe lynskey reports. they've been in the top flight since the 50s. now one concern looms over everton. they came here one point off the relegation zone, with nine games to move clear. but even in a season like this, they still have a local hero. anthony gordon! anthony gordon joined everton aged 11 and grew up down the road. this deflected strike, he knew, meant so much. the blues could have been clear by half—time but for manchester united's keeper. they too have had a season to forget and could miss out on the top six. but everton were in greater need. every block edged them closer, every fan knew what's at stake. the nerves would last right through to stoppage time. it's ronaldo! the win keeps them 17th but changes the mood. this was the lift everton so needed from a winning goal made on merseyside.

let's hearfrom both managers, ralf rangnick in a moment, but first frank lampard, who has been feeling the heat from everton�*s lack of form. the reality of the position is clear with us. you can feel that in the stadium. but at the same time, we're good here at goodison, we've been good in my time here, we've won five out of seven games. we don't concede like we do away from home. that's another question but at the same time, the fighting spirit we showed, the qualities we showed are a big deal for us and we need to replicate that. it's three points, it's one win, we need more. but if we carry on in the same vein we are confident. we drew a game where we do not start so well, we make good saves, we get a goal which is a deflection, then we show reel spirit. it is important that the performance went that way for us today to show the players what it takes to dig in and find ways to win games and they absolutely did it.

as long as we don't win our own games it doesn't make sense to hope for a good result from other teams and as i said, especially in the first half hour, we should have scored a goal or two out of that first half hour but we did not and all of a sudden, being one goal down changed the whole game. chelsea were the big winners of the day though. they thrashed southampton 6—0 at st mary's. having lost to brentford and real madrid in the last week, chelsea hit back in devastating fashion. four goals for them in the first half, to solidify their position in third. england international mason mount and striker timo werner both scored two each. and manager thomas tuchel said it was a crucial win ahead of the second leg of their champions league quarter—final against real madrid. like i said after the match against real madrid, first, it's necessary to do the turnaround here and not wait for the response and think about the response in bernabeu. this

will be a very, very difficult task and there is no change date but we did what is necessary and this is the good news, and now we have two days to recover and to try what possible on tuesday. son heung—min scored a hat—trick as tottenham thrashed aston villa 4—0. spurs dominated the match and the south korean striker put his side ahead in the third minute at villa park. after the break dejan kulusevski added another before son struck twice more. they're back in the champions league places, three points ahead of arsenal who slip to fifth. and that's because earlier in the day mikel arteta's side suffered a surprise defeat at home to brighton. the visitors were seven games without a victory before kick—off — but frustrated the home side with their organisation, and goals from leonardo trossard and enock mwepu sealed the three points for graham potter's side,

despite a late arsenal goal from gabriel martinelli. this is our team and its 30 men good moments and in defeats, especially. you're not going to lose out on a champions league position today, are you? we champions league position today, are ou? ~ . ., champions league position today, are ou? ., ., ,, champions league position today, are ou? ., ., , �*, champions league position today, are ou? ., ., ., you? we are not because it's still a lot to play — you? we are not because it's still a lot to play on. _ you? we are not because it's still a lot to play on. but _ you? we are not because it's still a lot to play on, but again, _ you? we are not because it's still a lot to play on, but again, we - you? we are not because it's still a lot to play on, but again, we have l lot to play on, but again, we have to be concerned about the performance, especially in the first half again, because at that level you can't play in the premier league. leeds took a huge step towards premier league safety with victory at fellow strugglers watford. goals from raphinha, rodrigo and jack harrison gavejesse marsch's side the three points. the result leaves watford six points from safety, while leeds are now nine points above the drop zone — although they have played three games more than 18th—placed burnley. it wasn't our best, but we knew the points were important. we knew that we had to defend well, especially in wooden versus one situations. and in

getting the lead and staying stable, i think was really important for us, and obviously, yeah, a massive three points when you look at the table. i've seen the group is willing and wants to fight for everything, wants to learn and grow every day, it's been a pleasure to be their coach, i've said that multiple times. and they are hungry for more. scottish premiership leaders celtic cruised to a 7—0 win over stjohnstone. they're now nine points ahead of rangers who play tomorrow. elsewhere dundee united drew 2—2 with local rivals dundee. nicky clark with united's first goal. his side are now guaranteed a top six finish. dundee remain rooted to the bottom of the table. seven teams had started the day still in with a chance of finishing in the top six as it splits into two for the final five matches. and in the end, with the results there, it means that dundee united, ross county and motherwell clinched the final three places. in the championship, second placed bournemouth have moved one step closer to promotion to the premier league, but had to settle for a point away

to sheffield united with a goalless draw. the home side will be disappointed though that they didn't win all three points, with filip uremovic missing a glorious chance in injury time. sheffield united stay sixth. to the women's six nations now, where defending champions england showed their class yet again running in ten tries against wales in gloucester. wales had come into this fixture on the back of two wins, but england were too good and secured the bonus point win in front of a record crowd of more than 14,000 fans. lydia campbell reports. this is a new era of welsh rugby. i2 this is a new era of welsh rugby. 12 of these players were given professional contracts in january and they players were given professional contracts injanuary and they have made their best start at six nations campaign since 2015 with two bonus point wins. but england has micro—professional setup is already in full bloom, the red now the

top—ranked side in the world after going pro in 2019, and they got the first point of the day. they added another soon after before chess breach marked her return from injury with england's third. wales continued to struggle today with the sheer force of the english pack in the second half, davies getting her second of the match, and sealing the bonus point. and another soon after, before the try of the match from alex matthews, who shrugged off one tackle before forcing her way through four welsh players and over. there was time for some welsh celebrations when kelseyjones went over, but this english side are showing the world the difference that long—term funding can make, sarah hunter was england's tenth try of the day. we sarah hunter was england's tenth try of the da . ~ ., ., sarah hunter was england's tenth try

and even after the break both sides failed to find top gear, some of the world's best players constantly making uncharacteristic errors. but after a tryless 17 minutes the game needed a bit of magic and it was no surprise when it came from one of rugby's ultimate show stoppers, semi radradra off the bench and into the action, completely against the run of play, bristol were ahead. and they nearly extended their lead. it was only a try saving tackle from arron reed that kept andy uren out from a certain score. a poor game but a priceless lead for the bears to come to bristol next friday night. there was a big win for ulster in france — they beat the defending champions toulouse by 26 points to 20. robert baloucoune the star of the show with a hat—trick from him, ensuring ulster return to ravenhill for the second leg with an advantage.

and exeter have a small advantage heading into their second leg at munster. they ran in two tries — this the first of them from stuart hogg — to win13—8 at sandy park. meanwhile, in the united rugby championship, scarlets thrashed welsh rivals cardiff blues 49 points to 1a at the arms park. after a close—fought first half, cardiff conceded 42 points after the break, with wales international liam williams scoring two of scarlets' seven tries to keep their playoff hopes alive. rugby league now and st helens beat catalans dragons in the challenge cup quarterfinals. and it was pretty a dominant win. they scored six tries altogether — joe batchelor rounding things off for his side. this was a rematch of super league's grand final — st helens winning again, this time by 36 points to 20 to make the semi—finals. they'll be joined in the semi—finals by

huddersfield giants, who beat hull fc by 2a points to 16, tui lolohea with the third of huddersfield's three tries. the final pairing at the masters are getting ready to tee off for the third round at augusta national. american scottie scheffler was the overnight leader, he'll start on eight under par after the world number one ended day two five shots clear of the field. it's cold and windy at augusta so the scoring is likely to be tough again. justin thomas and cameron smith going well — up in that group on three under in a tie for second. rory mcilroy level for his round so far, not making a move from his mark of two over. tiger woods started the day one over — and unbelievably for him had a four putt on the fifth hole to card a double bogey on that. so he's currently three over. you can follow it all on radio five live, on the bbc sport website and

there will be highlights a little bit later. now let's check in on formula 1, because we have had qualifying for the australian grand prix, which will take place overnight, and it is the ferrari driver of charles leclerc who finished on pole ahead of red bull's max verstappen. all the details from a hectic qualifying session. after three years without a race, fans in melbourne were keen to see some drama. it didn't take long for qualifying at albert park to deliver some. canadians nicholas latifi and lance stroll had a little misunderstanding and their day come to a premature end. lewis hamilton almost came to a similar fate. 0na on a fast 0nafast lap on a fast lap he came across max verstappen on a slow one. hamilton's day didn't get much better — he was on pole position last time

he raced here but today could only get fifth. and then this delayed qualifying for a second time. when it resumed, world champion verstappen set the time to beat and then charles leclerc smashed it to put his ferrari on pole for the second time this season. we really worked hard, it was a bit messy free practice session for me, i did some good laps but not everything together, and in 03, i managed to put everything together, so it feels great and i am very happy to be starting on pole tomorrow. i didn't really feel good in the car in the whole weekend so far. i think there's not been one lap where i actually felt confident, so a bit of a struggle. of course second is still a good result, but not feeling that great to go to the limit. we will try to analyse it. the stage appears set for another showdown between the winners of the two races so far. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. jaguar�*s mitch evans won the first

of two formula e races in rome this weekend. the new zealander came from ninth on the grid to complete a dominant race victory on the streets of the italian capital, finishing five seconds ahead of robin fryns. the tour of the basque country has been won by ineos grenadiers rider daniel martinez, the colombian taking the yellow jersey from remco evanepoel on the final stage and finishing 11 seconds ahead of stage winner yon izaguirre in the general classification. sri lanka have appointed former england coach chris silverwood as their men's head coach. silverwood spent two years in charge before being let go after england's heavy ashes defeat in australia, and he has signed a two—year deal with sri lanka. now we've had one remarkable story already, with sam waley—cohen winning the grand national today in his last ever race, but what

about another? andy macdonald is a pro skateboarder — who, at the age of a8, has his heart set on representing britain at the next 0lympics. we're going to let him tell you his story. andy mcdonald, 48 years old, professional skateboarding. ——professional skateboarder. my father's from here in london, and if i make the olympic team, i'll be the oldest 0lympian, probably, by quite a bit! the age thing is like, the guys that i looked up to skating when i was a kid, guys like steve caballero and mike mcgill and tony hawk, are all still skating and they've all got five and ten years on me, so you know, that's my inspiration, you know, just to keep pushing and see, you know, we're still exploring those boundaries. you can be anybody from anywhere

and you pick up one of these, low cost of entry to start skateboarding, everybody�*s got streets outside their front door. hopefully one day everyone will have a skate park down the road and you can become a skateboarder. and these days, potentially become an olympic skateboarder. sitting watching the olympics in tokyo this year, just kind of realising that... it would be an honour and kind of a very neat way to finish my career. i can't say that i dreamt of being an olympic skateboarder because when i dreamt of being a pro skateboarder, 0lympics wasn't in the equation. but now that it is, and watching some of my peers compete at that level, in that world stage, i was like, that would be cool. that would be a fun experience to be part of.

yeah, i mean, there is such a talent pool here. it's just a matter of getting the cities and municipalities to understand it's an olympic sport now, right? so we need to provide the facilities so that we can foster that talent and get kids on skateboards, and if i can help do that, i'm all about it. amazing, we wish him all the best. finally, back to aintree, where a statue has this week been unveiled of formerjockey and author, the late dick francis. he famously proved there's no such thing as a dead certainty in sport. he was about to win the 1956 grand national on board the queen mother's horse devon loch until one of the mostjaw dropping moments ever in sport. mike bushell has been with dick's son this week to relive that dramatic day. going strongly, and he looks to the crowd as a royal windsor certainty.

frosty start, the odd shower continuing towards the northeast of scotland. temperatures, a slight improvement on what we've seen today, but still 12 degrees, not that great for this time of the year. however, changes early in the week, we've got thickening cloud bringing the chance of some rain, but at the same time, it looks like it is going to turn warmer.
