cards at goodison park. after a lacklustre first half, 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, you know, despite the noise around their camp they've still got some quality players and we know that. we had to be right in our outperformance, and i think a lot of it was right. then obviously getting a sending off and that take the wind out of your sails. i thought we played well, but the second i thought we started very well. after that we have to take on the next challenge, which is going down to ten men, get a penalty given against us and then you're wondering. but the reaction was fantastic, the way we played after that, even against the ii,
2:47 am
was fantastic. we played a good game because we challenged them at the same level of the strength, in the header, in the long ball, we played a good game, we were compact, we know it is not easy to come here. the only problem was when we played 11—10, in that moment we went 1—0 and we have to control much better the game with the ball. with two months of the premier league season to go, over half the clubs no longer have the manager they started the season with. a record 13 have now lost theirjobs, graham potter the latest with chelsea 11th in the table. this was supposed to be a new era at stamford bridge after the departure of roman abramovic, but chaotic and brutal is how the current owners are being described after months of telling us they'd be standing by their man. patrick geary reports. the american owners say they won't be chopping and changing managers in the same way...

graham potter retains the support... graham potter apparently still has the support - of the chairman and the board. whacked, backed, but then sacked. graham potter came to chelsea to begin what they call in football "a project." a long—term vision, a five—year contract, it lasted not seven months. he leaves with the team at mid—table and his assistant in charge. it's been really difficult, really difficult at every single level and especially emotional. obviously you have to deal with the press conference, you have to deal with the players, but it's hard, the relationship with graham and billy. and it's difficult to deal with that. how it affects the families. the personal impact is something potter himself had mentioned. as results fell away after the world cup he spoke of the abuse his family had suffered.
2:49 am
this was a level of pressure he had not experienced at any previous job. the defeat at aston villa at the weekend was his 11th in 31 games. patience had run out. certain things were accepted that 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 biding it, in the sense of results have no time of delivering, they have to deliver straight away, there is no time to wait. the owners�* will to win have been backed by cash, lots of it. chelsea had spent more than £300 million injanuary on eight new players. potter, who had always worked with tight—knit group in his career, had to manage, motivate, and train a squad of more than 30 senior professionals. extracting quality from quantity quickly has proven to trick you. impossiblejob to make it work incredibly well in the short—term. i'd say that's pretty close to an job, because you have so many young players that
2:50 am
are just learning the game and english football. a lot of them have come from around the world. you need to give these players time to gel into a unit. so who will take the job? maybejulian nagelsmann, mostly recently of bayern munich, mauricio pochettino, zinedine zidane, and luis enrique have also been mentioned. it's 308 days since todd boehly�*s consortium took over, promising to invest in the long—term, but this new chelsea are looking for the third new manager. patrick geary, bbc news. graham potter is now a contenderfor the leicester job after brendan rodgers was relieved of his duties over the weekend. his last game was a 2—1 defeat away to crystal palace which saw them slip to second bottom in the premier league. rodgers helped leicester lift the fa cup for the first time in their history in 2021. a club statement says they'll always be grateful to him but they felt "compelled to take alternative action" to avoid relegation. 0wynn palmer—atkin is bbc radio leicester's leicester city correspondent, here's what he
2:51 am
thinks will happen next. my understanding for a long time has been that leicester are big admirers of graham potter and they have been big admirers of thomas frank. thomas frank isn't going going to leave brentford at this period of time, going very well in the premier league and he seems to have made a bit of a home there. graham potter, leaving chelsea, is he going to be in a position we want to jump straight back into management? it's really difficult and i don;t think there's a clear frontrunner in this, which is very unusual for leicester. 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, from your point of view, why i am still sitting here in this crazy world. last man standing. i think both clubs are not in
2:52 am
a spot where they expect to be. i cannot really say a lot more about it. yes, i know them well, i respect them a lot, both of them, when i met them, really good people, and fantastic managers, both of them. but still, things can go the wrong way and then 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 past, not because what we did this season. if this 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
2:53 am
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,
2:54 am
my role is quite similar to what b] has done over the years for csk, 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. liv 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. i still play golf for a living. i'm here at the masters and enjoying this week and, you know, this week is all about augusta. it has nothing to do
2:55 am
with where you play out. guys who are here, they play all around the world. not everybody just 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 the guys because i 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.
2:56 am
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.
2:57 am
more cloud, though, for northern ireland and western scotland. the breeze picking up 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 14 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 quite persistent at times. reasonably mild, still about ten to 14 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.
2:58 am
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.
