hello there and welcome along to sportsday. all the talking points from the premier league to come — but first to the masters, which has been heavily affected by the weather. we saw trees fall on the course at augusta yesterday, as concerns over storms delayed the second round. on day three, the rain is still falling but it's no longer an issue for rory mcilroy — whose masters is over. let's get the latest with our correspondent andy swiss. we'll chat mcilroy in a moment, but organisers have had to re—arrange the schedule a bit on day 3, due to the weather. what is the latest with the schedules?— what is the latest with the schedules? . ., , , schedules? the weather has been causina a schedules? the weather has been causing a few _ schedules? the weather has been causing a few problems _ schedules? the weather has been causing a few problems over - schedules? the weather has been causing a few problems over the i schedules? the weather has been i causing a few problems over the last 24 causing a few problems over the last 2a hours or so. as you say, yesterday, we have is really dramatic scenes on the 17th hole when those three trees came crashing
6:33 pm
down. it was a lucky escape, really, for the spectators that were around the 17th hole. not surprisingly after that, the 17th hole. not surprisingly afterthat, play the 17th hole. not surprisingly after that, play was suspended for the rest of the day, staff will try to clear away all the debris. so this morning, a lot of players still haven't completed their second round, so they were back early to complete those rounds. the weather has not been great, it has been cold, wet, the temperature has dropped by about 20 degrees over the last 2a hours or so, but so far, there haven't been any more interruptions to play so far. the players who are out this morning completing their second rounds, sean run, picked up a few shots, he finished his second round on ten under par, that's two shots behind the leader. now, to try and catch up on lost time, the players are going up on lost time, the players are going up for the third round at the moment, but going out in groups of three rather than normal groups of two. and they are going out from two
6:34 pm
teas, some from the first tee and some from the tenth, so the organisers will be hoping they can complete their third round here today. in complete their third round here toda . , ., ., , complete their third round here toda. n today. in terms of rory mcelroy, there were _ today. in terms of rory mcelroy, there were so _ today. in terms of rory mcelroy, there were so many _ today. in terms of rory mcelroy, there were so many high - today. in terms of rory mcelroy, there were so many high hopes i today. in terms of rory mcelroy, l there were so many high hopes for him going into the masters to complete a career grand slam, but not to be missing the cut, a really disappointing performance from him. that's right, probably one of the most disappointing tournaments of rory mcelroy�*s entire career, say, he went into this masters with so much optimism, so much confidence. he was playing well, he was the world number two and there was a feeling that this could be the year when he could finally break his masters and complete the career grand slam, but they had a frustrating first round and a pretty horrible second round yesterday. five over par he finished on. it was a mistake after mistake and it never looked likely to be enough to make even the halfway cut. sure enough, the completed second round here early around confirmed that rory
6:35 pm
mcelroy has missed the cut. so he will now head home and his masters hopes are over for another year at least. �* ., ., ~ , ., hopes are over for another year at least. �* ~ , ., ., least. brooks kept a leading the wa , least. brooks kept a leading the way. tiger— least. brooks kept a leading the way, tiger woods _ least. brooks kept a leading the way, tiger woods making - least. brooks kept a leading the way, tiger woods making the i least. brooks kept a leading the l way, tiger woods making the cut. who else should be keep our eye on? the third else should be keep our eye on? tue: third round else should be keep our eye on? tte: third round is else should be keep our eye on? tt2 third round isjust getting under way. tiger woods coming as he say, just made the cut. he had to battle really hard and some fairly horrible conditions, but he finished the second round on three over par, so he has just made second round on three over par, so he hasjust made it through second round on three over par, so he has just made it through to the final two rounds, as things stand, brooks kept cut leads the way, to clear ofjohn, they have just clear of john, they have just started clear ofjohn, they have just started their third round. keep an eye out for the american amateur, sam bennetts, having the leak of his life, he's right there in contention, and also an excellent start from britain's justin rose. he's done really well, too early birdies, moving up the leaderboard, he is now 16 under par and it will
6:36 pm
be really interesting to see how the players cope with these conditions this afternoon because conditions here are really challenging. absolutely. and he in a gust of air for us. much appreciated. we're in the thick of the easter football period now — and lots at stake at the top and bottom of the premier league. everton are back in the thick of danger of the drop again — they were beaten 2—0 by manchester united at old trafford. united keeping the pressure up, in the race to finish in the champions league positions. alice scarff reports. manchester united are back on form and again which could have possibly been five or 6—0 by half—time. the first 30 minutes seemed a game of one tale come a long pause from united, one—on—one with pickford and plenty of big saves. the everton goalie showcasing on multiple occasions why he is england's first choice in the next. that wasn't until some great footwork by marcus rushford to keep
6:37 pm
the ball through one, two and then three of everton's defence, which sidechains sancho the shot he needed to give united the lead. that a mistake by the everton captain, substitute antennae, seeding the second goal in the final score of 2-0. second goal in the final score of 2—0. grass fed meat his 350 appearance today, but had to come off due to what looked to be a growing injury. something united will help isn't serious as they face so they'll in the quarterfinals of the europa league on thursday night. the fight to go the fair sean's side to stay in the premier league as they are very much in the relegation battle. so united dominant at old trafford then, as the problems pile for sean dyche and everton. erik ten hag, was pleased with how his side performed, and they go into their european match this week with momentum.
6:38 pm
we always went to play entertaining football and i think today, this afternoon was quite entertaining. we have seen a great game. two good teams and i was very happy with the performance from my team, in particular when you have so many games to play, you can deliver this, it shows the character and the mentality of this team. so big credit to the team. tao mentality of this team. so big credit to the team.— credit to the team. too many mistakes _ credit to the team. too many mistakes against _ credit to the team. too many mistakes against a _ credit to the team. too many mistakes against a good - credit to the team. too many | mistakes against a good side. credit to the team. too many i mistakes against a good side. a credit to the team. too many - mistakes against a good side. a side that has— mistakes against a good side. a side that has been very good here, particularly in they deserve to win. sometimes — particularly in they deserve to win. sometimes it runs up to that performance, particularly the first half, _ performance, particularly the first half. a _ performance, particularly the first half, a reminder of the truth of the marker_ half, a reminder of the truth of the marker you — half, a reminder of the truth of the marker you are half, a reminder of the truth of the markeryou are in, but half, a reminder of the truth of the marker you are in, but everyone is a difficult _ marker you are in, but everyone is a difficult site — marker you are in, but everyone is a difficult site in the premier league _ difficult site in the premier league. we are under no illusion about— league. we are under no illusion about the — league. we are under no illusion about the work in front of us, and neither— about the work in front of us, and neither are — about the work in front of us, and neither are the players. newcastle united are back up to third, courtesy of their superior goal difference.. they beat brentford 2—1. it was brentford who had the better of the first half, going in front through an ivan toney penalty awarded through var. but an own goal from keeper david raya levelled
6:39 pm
the score for the visitors — with alexander isak securing the three points. 5 wins in a row for newcastle now. i think we change things tactically, sometimes i can give you a lift in itself, but i think we knew we were desperate for the results. we threw caution to the wind of the victim of the players responded really well physically, although we were a little bit fatigued from the week we've had. responded brilliantly and i think that is me the character of players. there was plenty of controversy in tottenham's 2—1 win over brighton. both managers were sent off while brighton had two goals disallowed for handball and a strong penalty shout ignored. the result keeps spurs in the hunt for fourth, thanks to heung min son's 100th premier league goal and a strike from harry kane , but brighton dominated the game and their goal—scorer lewis dunk was unhappy with the officials. i don't see how it's a penalty. there's no point in having var in the game if you are going to make decisions like that. that decision changes everything. ijust don't understand it. ithink
6:40 pm
changes everything. ijust don't understand it. i think they made one type of decision over handball, but they don't make a clear decision on they don't make a clear decision on the penalty. so it makes sense —— does make it make sense, i can't. chelsea's poor run continues. frank lampard's return to the dugout ruined by wolves, who took a valuable three points at molineux today — and ease their relegation fears. the only goal of the game coming from mattheus nunes in the first half. they're up to 12th now — for chelsea — it'sjust two wins in ii league games. they're just a place above wolves in the table. i'm not questioning what i'm doing in the short time i've been here. i have to try to get an understanding of it. the mindset can be, it is not necessarily a negative, it is a collective thing. you have to work as a team that gets used to winning, that finds it to happen. it's not where the club wants to be, but it is the reality, so we have to work through it. you see these things happen with different clubs at times where there are transitional moments in different ways. you have to get over the excuse and you have to get over the excuse and you have to get over the point where you try to move forward. another minute, every step
6:41 pm
forward. another minute, every step forward is what we can focus on the next one in front of us. of course, for the players and for myself, that is a big game in madrid playing in the quarterfinal in is a big game in madrid playing in the quarter final in the champions league. games like this in the premier league, that's when the others who are really, really competing. we need to lift it more than we did today. a vital three points for david moyes and west ham today too. they responded to that midweek thrashing by newcastle — to beat fulham this afternoon. harrison reed's own goal proving decisive turning in a cross into his own net from jarrod bowen. it's only west ham's second away win of the season — and moves them up to 13th, three points clear of the relegation zone. the midweek game can i hope it was a freak show and it won't happen again. i think when you look back you will say that probably shouldn't happen. it doesn't happen to professionals too often. a great bounce back from the players today. i think when you are in this position, sometimes you have to win the games commit may not always be the games commit may not always be the best, we would like to be playing much better, and pain from a
6:42 pm
weak position, but we are not. we have to understand and find a way of getting results. nottingham forest are back in the drop zone — after losing 2—0 to a resurgent aston villa side, who are on the hunt for european football next season. bertrand traore and ollie watkins late on sealed the victory for unai emery�*s side, who are now above brighton and up to 6th with their fourth victory in a row. forest's poor run of form leaves 18th, inside the relegation zone on goal difference. we are desperate to do well for the supporters— we are desperate to do well for the supporters in the club, there is no denying _ supporters in the club, there is no denying that. it makes these moments and fees _ denying that. it makes these moments and fees mistakes, you know, these goals— and fees mistakes, you know, these goals even_ and fees mistakes, you know, these goals even more costly and even more hurtful, _ goals even more costly and even more hurtful, you _ goals even more costly and even more hurtful, you know? but i repeat what i've hurtful, you know? but i repeat what we said _ hurtful, you know? but i repeat what we said in _ hurtful, you know? but i repeat what i've said in previous games, we are paying _ i've said in previous games, we are paying ourselves because of the mistakes — paying ourselves because of the mistakes that we make. a big win for bournemouth as the misery continues for leicester. philip billing scored the only goal in their 1—0 victory. bournemouth now 3 points off
6:43 pm
the relegation zone. leicester second from bottom — but only two points from safety, so still all to play for. confirmation of those results then — and the one match that's happening right now — into the second half at st marys, where bottom of the table southampton are hosting manchester city. city hoping to close the gap on leaders arsenal to 5 points if they win, with the gunners at his 43rd goal of the season, putting city one up. they are hoping to get closer to the leaders, arsenal, closing that gap to five points if they win with the gun is an action at liverpool tomorrow. celtic have taken a huge step towards retaining the scottish premiership title after victory in the old firm against rangers — to extend their lead to 12 points with 7 games to go. patrick gearey reports. ranges are surrounded, with no away fans, celtic park was more celtic than ever, and in such circumstances, silence is success. for a moment, they had it, but the referee decided alfredo morelos had committed a foul, par agreed. celtic
6:44 pm
had been strangely subdued, but eventually found a way of getting the ball to kyoko, his 27th goal of a superb season. victory in this would take celtic 12 points clear a long way out, just where james tavernier likes them, a moment of quiet genius. tap tavernier likes them, a moment of quiet genius-— quiet genius. top corner, top corner! and the intensity of these games, every touch matters. the last place they and davies wanted to clear this was here. 2—i. john lost his way in a hostile part of glasgow, and went job to come in when celtic�*s third. pandemonium. rangers had no time for regrets. a last desperate to rally was led by the head of tavernier, too little, too late. 0ne was led by the head of tavernier, too little, too late. one of the's most ferocious derbies ended in a celtic private party. celebrations all around there. and in the rest of the games in scotland, hearts drop to 4th after the 6th defeat in seven. they were beaten by st mirren,
6:45 pm
who are nowjust a point behind. aberdeen are up to 3rd, theirfine form under barry robson continues. they won 2—0 against kilmarnock. also wins for motherwell and ross county. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. manager mick mccarthy has left championship strugglers blackpool after less than three months in charge. appointed injanuary until the end of the season, he managed only two wins from ia matches, and leaves blackpool second bottom of the table, seven points from safety. british heavyweight anthonyjoshua says he is "definitely going to be fighting in the next three months" following his win over jermaine franklin last weekend. he told the bbc�*s one show he doesn't know who his next opponent will be, but he wants to "get the ball rolling". former uk champion matthew stevens edged past dechawat poomjaeng to reach the third round of the world championship qualifiers. the welshman survived a late fightback to win10—8 in sheffield. this year's world championship starts on the 15th of april, live on the bbc.
6:46 pm
super league's rivals round continued today, with a thrilling eight try encounter between leigh and salford. the latter came out on top of a feisty encounter winning by 22 points to 20 to move up to sixth in the table. nick parrott was watching. since returning to super league in changing their name, lee leopards have strived to put on a show. the smoke had barely cleared whenjosh opened the scoring against salford devils. it was an early blow but not a significant one. salford hit back three times with the reigning man of steel, brody cropped, helping them to a ten point lead by the break. they were down, but certainly not out. went from try saving hero for the visitors to a devil heading to the visitors to a devil heading to the sin bin for this interference. the hosts made the most of their temporary man advantage with them cutting the deficit. but instead of making ground, they lost it. dupree
6:47 pm
squeezed through for salford. he gave lee hope for a remarkable comeback when he made it through in even tighter gap for his second try. in a pulsating finale, ben reynolds added another, but with just 11 seconds left him it was too late to deny the devil's victory. nick parrott, bbc news. warrington's100% record could be about to come to an end in france. the super league leaders are currently drawing 14—all with catalans dragons with just a few minutes remaining. a victory will move dragons level on points with the wolves, in the quarterfinals of rugby union's champions cup, exeter stormers — earlier toulouse crushed south africa's sharks with a 54—20 victory. sharks managed to stay in the game until late in the second half, when four tries in 11 minutes — including this sublime weaving run from romain ntamack — gave the french side an emphatic win.

tomorrow — in fact, it could feel a little warmer for most, but there will be some rain later on in the day out towards the north and the west. most of us won't be seeing that rain until early on bank holiday monday morning, but overnight tonight, it's set to stay dry. lots of clear spells, especially through the central swathe of the country. 0ut towards eastern coastal areas, some cloud, the cloud thickening, too across northern ireland. more cloud and a bit more of a southerly breeze, so frost—free without so much mist and fog as we start off sunday morning. so, easter sunday, lots of sunshine around for the vast majority of us. it will be quite cloudy towards eastern coastal areas — again, the cloud just coming in from the north sea, but that should break up, especially through the afternoon, so a sunnier day here. cool underneath the cloud across aberdeenshire, outbreaks of rain moving into northern ireland from our weather front, approaching western scotland by the end of the day. temperatures slightly higher, between 15—17 celsius quite widely. if we see 18 celsius — always possible, especially across central, southern england — it will be the warmest

day of the year so far. but of course, it's not set to last, the dry, warm weather, because we've got outbreaks of rain from these weather fronts, sweeping eastwards from sunday night into bank holiday monday morning. it's a much milder start to the day on bank holiday monday, outbreaks of rain clearing the east anglian coast as we head through the morning. there will be some bright and sunny spells behind, but also some rather hefty showers, and raining for much of the day — longer spells of rain towards the south coast, especially across the channel islands. temperatures gradually dropping throughout the day. this is how we'll end the afternoon, between about 10—14 celsius, so obviously not as warm with all that wet weather around, and it's staying unsettled as we head through much of the rest of next week. a deep area of low pressure swinging across england and wales, into scotland as we head through tuesday night and into wednesday. some strong gusty winds potentially on this and some outbreaks of rain. here's the outlook for our capital cities as we head through next week. as you can see, it is going to be really very unsettled, wet and windy, especially towards the northwest, and also feeling a lot cooler.
