abdoulaye doucoure was sent off for pushing harry kane's face just before the hour mark. kane later scored a penalty to put spurs ahead, but the tables turned and lucas moura saw a straight red for a tackle on michael keane. it was then keane who salvaged a point for the toffees with a stunning long—range strike on 90 minutes. the result brings everton out of the relegation zone and takes tottenham back into fourth. a big challenge. they are a side that despite the noise around the camp they still have some bolli players and we know that. we have the right outperformance, think a lot of it was right up obviously, either we played well by the second of that we started very well. after that we have to take on the next challenge, which is going down to ten men, get a penalty against us and then you are wondering. the reaction was fantastic, the way

suffered. this was a level of pressure he had not experienced at any previous job. the defeat at any previous job. the defeat at aston villa at the weekend was his 11th in that he won games. patience had run out. certain things were accepted, when you come to chelsea it is a big shift. people have to understand that. and that's why i feel like they were kind of writing it, in the centre results have no time of delivering, they have to delivering, they have to deliver straightaway, there is no time to wait. the deliver straightaway, there is no time to wait.— no time to wait. the owners' will to win — no time to wait. the owners' will to win have _ no time to wait. the owners' will to win have been - no time to wait. the owners' will to win have been backed no time to wait. the owners' i will to win have been backed by cash, lots of it. chelsea has been more than £300 million in january on eight new players. potter, who had always worked with tightknit group in his career, had to manage, motivate, drain a quite of more than 30 senior professionals, extracting quality from quantity quickly has proven to trick you. quantity quickly has proven to trick ou. ,.,,, , quantity quickly has proven to trick ou. , quantity quickly has proven to trick ou. ., trick you. impossible “0b to make it work i trick you. impossible job to make it work incredibly - trick you. impossible job to | make it work incredibly well trick you. impossible job to i make it work incredibly well in the short—term. i'd say that is pretty close to an job, because

thinks will happen next. my my understanding for a long time has been that lesser big admirers of graham potter and they have been big admirers of thomas frank. thomas frank is going to lead —— isn't going tilly brentfod at this period of time, going very well in the premier league and simple means of a home there. graham potter living chelsea, is he going to be in a position we want to jump be in a position we want to jump straight back into management? it's really difficult and a thing there is a clear front difficult and a thing there is a clearfront runner in difficult and a thing there is a clear front runner in this, which is very unusual for lester. leicester and chelsea both sacked their managers knowing big premier league games were around the corner. leicester play aston villa on tuesday, while chelsea play a liverpool side struggling forform and eight points off the top four. jurgen klopp was asked about the managerial sackings and his own future earlier. i think that the elephant in the room is probably why i'm still sitting here in this crazy world. last man standing.

i think both clubs are not in a spot where they expect to be. they cannot really say a lot more about it. yes, i know him well, —— then well, i've respect them a lot, both of them, when they met them, really good people, fantastic managers both of them. but still, things can go the wrong way and the decision—makers in the club think they have to change and the change. we all accept that part of the business. i'm aware of the fact that i'm sitting here because of the piles, not because what we did this season, if this would be my first season that would be my first season that would be my first season that would be slightly different. so that's it. in spain's la liga, justin kluivert scored a late penalty for valencia which was enough to earn them a 1—1 draw at the mestalla against rayo vallecano and take them out of the relegation

zone on goal difference. while in italy's serie a, empoli won out against lecce thanks to a francesco caputo penalty, with sassuolo and torino playing out a 1—1 draw. chennai super kings, featuring ben stokes and moeen ali, have beaten lucknow super giants by 12 runs in their indian premier league clash. the super kings opening partnership surpassed 100 as the home team amassed a score of 217/7 from their 20 overs after being sent in to bat. in response the super giants fell just short of victory with moeen taking figures of four for 26 from his four overs and was ably assisted by his fellow bowlers. i feel bowling into that is not an easy skill, i am still learning, we have a great bowling coach, and i'm just trying to pick his brains, what he has done from the start of the ipl to last year. so trying

to do that, my role is quite similar to what bj has done over the years for cs k, i can't fill his shoes, but i'm trying to learn from him. now to golf, where the masters tees off on thursday at augusta national, with rory mcilroy looking to add the only major that he has't yet won to his trophy haul. on monday, the world number two was out practising with five—time winner and his business partner, tiger woods, as the pair hone their game for the year's first major championship. northern irishman mcilroy was runner up 12 months ago falling short of winner and current world number one scottie scheffler. golf players are allowed to play at the masters and there's been a lot of talk about what may happen if one of those from the breakaway saudi backed tour wins at augusta national. forformer winner dustin johnson it's simply about playing the game rather than what goes on around it. eyes still play golf for a living. i'm here at the masters and enjoying this week and, you
1:55 am
know, this week is all about augusta. it has nothing to do with where you play out. those who hear they play all around the world. not everybodyjust plays on one spot. so for me, like i said, all my buddies are still my buddies, enjoy seeing them. it's nice to see a lot of them. it's nice to see a lot of the guys because they haven't seen them that much. it should be a great week and i'm looking forward to it. and finally, the french coast has played host to a unique sporting event this weekend as the big air kite world cup began in le barcares. athletes from spain, italy, the usa, and france aimed for the highest trick score as they flew from sea to air on a surfboard on the stunning coastline of the south of france. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, but from me, tulsen tollett, and the rest of the team it's bye for now.

hello. we've seen a reasonably settled spell of early april weather over the past few days, largely dry with some sunshine. and that's going to continue at least for another 2a hours for many parts of the uk. so sunny spells around. there is some rain in the forecast through tuesday and it's mainly pushing in across the far northwest all down to this weather front you can see here. but it is meeting this big area of high pressure which sits to the east, and that's really going to be the driving force of the weather, particularly across england, wales and eastern scotland, too. that's where we've got the clearest skies over the next few hours. it's really quite chilly out there. a bit more cloud and drizzly rain pushing into northern ireland and western scotland. so temperatures by tuesday dawn here above freezing. but elsewhere we could see a touch of frost, perhaps as low as minus four in one or two sheltered rural spots across england and wales. now through the day on tuesday after that chilly start, any misting is soon clearing away. lots of sunshine for much of england, wales and eastern scotland. a little bit of high cloud around, so turning hazy at times, especially later on. more cloud, though, for northern ireland and western scotland. the breeze picking up
1:57 am
and a little patchy light rain through the morning, becoming a bit more persistent during the afternoon. top temperatures for most of us between about 12 to ia degrees or so. not as cool as it has been close to the east coast because we're losing that onshore breeze. now overnight tuesday, and heading on into wednesday, we've got this cloud and rain just pushing more widely across the uk, but we do keep the clear skies for east anglia in the southeast. so yet again, just a touch of frost as we head through into wednesday morning here. but further northwest under that blanket of cloud and rain, it is going to be reasonably mild. so heading through wednesday then this frontal system edges its way gradually southwards and eastwards too. so it will bring a spell of wet weather for many of us, i think through wednesday, not everywhere, probably east anglia, parts of lincolnshire, down towards southern and southeastern england, staying dry with some sunny spells all day. but elsewhere, a lot of cloud. the breeze picking up from a south westerly direction and outbreaks of rain could be
1:58 am
quite persistent at times. reasonably mild, still about ten to ia degrees during the day on wednesday. and then as we head through towards wednesday night into thursday, we could well see a little bit of a ripple on this weather front. so that means that during thursday, more areas, especially in the east, could see some spells of persistent rain. should gradually clear away, though, as we head through good friday and into the easter weekend, showers tending to clear up. so many of us looking dry. could be a little bit of rain though at times in the south. bye— bye.
