goal, shades of ederson from last week, if you rememberthat. diogo jota missed, sadio mane did not. and if the first was ridiculous, the second was sublime, fantastic strike taking jurgen klopp's man into the half of three. you know it is not over at half—time, you know all manchester city needed was a pep talk and that his exec you what they got, because the £100 million man at jack grealish came out, game over? no, game on. grealish dispensed his first goal of the game. however, thatis first goal of the game. however, that is really how it stayed until the 90th minute, until bernardo silva coolly slotted home, to give it a shaky last few minutes for the reds, but it is now going to be liverpool marching to their first final for ten years. liverpool marching to their first finalfor ten years. next liverpool marching to their first final for ten years. next emotions here inside wembley, but let's hear from jurgen klopp and pep guardiola.

6:35 pm
matt graveling, thank you very much. just one other line on that match. there was some disruption of the minute's silence for the 97 victims of the hillsborough disaster before the game, for which manchester city have apologised. they say they... the club added that... it was a good day for manchester city in the women's fa cup. they are through to the final, after beating west ham 4—1. the three—time winners of the competition will face either holders chelsea or arsenal for the trophy next month. ben croucher was watching this one. despite what some west ham fans would have you believe... they were the underdogs.— ham fans would have you believe... they were the underdogs. surely in! ci lead! they were the underdogs. surely in! city lead! and _ they were the underdogs. surely in! city lead! and it — they were the underdogs. surely in! city lead! and it is _ they were the underdogs. surely in! city lead! and it is ellen _ they were the underdogs. surely in!
6:36 pm
city lead! and it is ellen white. - city lead! and it is ellen white. city's first came from a combination of hero walsh's opportunism and ellen white's reactions. their second cam error. after a year out with a knee injury, chloe kelley martha returned with a goal. the deficit was cut in half by half—time. west ham back in the game in a compass and they have never won, a record that could remain after lauren hemp made it two once again. she fired him once more in stoppage time tub with city clinging onto the last piece of civil war they can win this season. no doubt about it, this result was massive. ben croucher, bbc news. it's chelsea or arsenal who will await manchester city in the final at wembley. they meet tomorrow. and having the final at the home of football and on tv is a huge deal, according to city's kiera walsh. i think when i was growing up, we never really had the... i never saw
6:37 pm
the sides of the date playing at wembley, so it is unbelievable. to see the young girls at the games and all the city fans, you can hear them now, it is an unbelievable feeling, it is a special moment for everyone and, as i said, we are all really looking forward to it now that we've got to win. it's also a big weekend of cup action in scotland. and hearts are through to the scottish cup final after beating rivals hibs 2—1 in a thrilling encounter at hampden park. chris mclaughlin was watching the action. it is really to win the edinburgh rivals meet. today had absolutely everything. what a game of football. the first 20 minutes an absolute goal fast. the first 20 minutes an absolute goalfast. hartz got the first 20 minutes an absolute goal fast. hartz got the opener, and what a strike from ellis sims. great technique from the man on loan from everton. the second was as impressive as it was clever, stephen kingsley starting and finishing the training ground move in some style.
6:38 pm
hibs could have collapsed. instead, they hit back immediately. game on. liam boyce had a chance to stretch the lead just before the break. he should have done better. hibs dominates the start of the second half and almost leveled through ryan porteous, but what about this for a save from the scotland number one craig gordon? hibs were reduced to ten men. a second yellow card. in a chance with minutes to go, but once again it wasn't to be hibs day. hearts celebrated, and should they make it into the cup final here next month, they will face celtic or rangers, who do battle here at hampden tomorrow. well, let's hearfrom both camps now after that match —
6:39 pm
hibs manager shaun maloney in a moment, but first winning manager robbie nielson. credit to the hearts players, credit to the _ credit to the hearts players, credit to the hibs — credit to the hearts players, credit to the hibs pressure. they put us under_ to the hibs pressure. they put us under pressure. more so when they were _ under pressure. more so when they were down— under pressure. more so when they were down to ten men. it was dented at five—minute period. itjust gives an opportunity, but to the boys credit, — an opportunity, but to the boys credit, they hung in there and deserves_ credit, they hung in there and deserves to go through. in the premier league, spurs missed the opportunity to go six points clear in fourth after losing to brighton in the early kick—off. in a game of relatively few chances, it was graham potter's side who eventually found the winner in the final minute, leandro trossard taking advantage of a defensive mistake to seal the three points. brighton move up to tenth in the table. in this type of loss, it is part of the process, a process. but we have to know there are six games to go,
6:40 pm
and if we want to try to stay in the race and to have a good achievement at the end of the season, we have to do less mistakes as possible. arsenal failed to take advantage of their north london rivals' slip—up, as they lost themselves at southampton. a goalfrom defenderjan bednarek gave the saints a 1—0 win. arsenal are three points off fourth with a game in hand. it's down to us. the way we defended, it wasn't good enough, and we had to respond to that, you have to score the goal. you see how the team tried, and whatever they tried to do, and it is more than ever now i want to be close to them. a hat—trick from cristiano ronaldo took manchester united in to fifth place. norwich had come from two down to 2—2, but ronaldo got the winner with around 15 minutes to go.
6:41 pm
they are still three points off tottenham with six games to go. it was the second time against spurs, with the same result, 3—2, but we should not only rely on him. it is still possible, the results elsewhere were good, but again it does not make sense that we're only looking at the other results. we have to make sure that we our performance. —— we raise our performance. watford are deep in relegation trouble after they lost 2—1 at home to brentford. pontus jansson�*s headed winner in the fifth minute of injury time means watford are six points from safety, and they've played two games more than everton who are fourth from bottom. harlequins were knocked out of rugby union's european champions cup by a single point over two legs of their last 16 tie against montpelier. after being beaten in the first leg in france, they needed to overturn a 14—point deficit, looked on course for it,
6:42 pm
but marcus smith missed a late conversion which would have seen them progress. 60—59, they lost on aggregate. munster powered to a 26—10 victory over the 2020 champions exeter at thomond park to make it through to the quarterfinals, winning by a margin of 11 points over the two legs. south african damian de allende scoring the try to wrap things up. so munster will play the winners of saturday's late match between toulouse and ulster in the quarters. ulster have a six—point advantage going into that match at home. that's at 8pm. 0ne game ongoing right now — leicester tigers against clermont. tigers have a 19—point margin after the first leg, and as you can see, it is currently going well for them there. great britain were unable to secure their place in the billiejean king cup finals after losing the decisive doubles match against the czech republic. a blister prevented emma raducanu playing after her earlier defeat
6:43 pm
to marketa vondrousova, so with the tie locked at 2—2, harriet dart and katie swan took on vondrousova and karolina muchova. the czech pair came out on top, 6—1, 7—5, on a very cold day in prague. britain could yet make the finals, as they are among the countries bidding to host this year's edition. defending champion mark selby has made a good start to his attempts to retain the world snooker championship in sheffield. selby has opened up a 6—3 lead over welshmanjamiejones in the opening session of the tournament, which runs for the next 17 days. ronnie 0'sullivan has also got his quest for a record equalling seventh title under way. the rocket lost the first three frames against dave gilbert, but won the next six to lead by 6—3 after the first session. they'll play to a finish tomorrow afternoon. the evening session starts at 7pm. you can watch it on bbc four, the red button, iplayer, the bbc sport website and mobile app.
6:44 pm
everywhere, really! mark selby in action again this evening. the second—ever women's edition of the paris—roubaix cycle race has been won by elisa longo borghini. the italian rider broke away from the field with around 20 miles to go, on the famous cobbles of northern france, and rode solo to the finish. longo borghini, who came third behind team—mate lizzie deignan last year, had a big enough lead as she reached the roubaix velodrome to be able to savour her victory. british rider pfeiffer george finished ninth. that's it for sportsday. see you again soon. bye—bye. when russia invaded ukraine, people flocked to social media to see for themselves what was happening, and support poured in from across the globe.
6:45 pm
scammers seized new opportunities to profit by making and sharing fake videos, spreading lies and stealing identities. i've seen thousands of dollars in bitcoin donated into fraudulent wallets. this particular wallet has a total balance of over 90,000 us dollars. money that would have gone to charities, instead stolen by criminals. they were soliciting several of my followers for money. as russian tanks rolled into ukraine, president zelensky vowed to stay and fight. for that, ukraine needed resources, and so his government put out a plea for donations.
