you're watching bbc news. now it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. at the masters, a rain delayed second round concludes, as rory mcilroy misses the cut. haaland's on fire — as city keep the pressure on arsenal at the top of the table. and getting the party started early — as celtic go 12 points clear, following victory in the old firm derby. also coming up on sportsday... salford red devils get the edge on leigh leopard — in a thrill for super league's rivals round.

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. brooks koepka leads the way on round three, on 13 under, jon rahm not far behind. earlier i spoke to our sports correspondent andy swiss and asked him how the weather had affected play... the weather certainly has been causing a few problems of the last 24 causing a few problems of the last 2a hours or so. as you say, yesterday, those really dramatic scenes on the 17th hole when those three trees came crashing down. it was a lucky escape, really for the spectators that were around the 17th

hole. not surprisingly after that, play was suspended for the rest of the day as staff of the course try to clear away all the debris. this morning, a lot of players still hadn't completed their second round. they were back early to complete those rounds. the weather has not been great, it's been cold, it's been great, it's been cold, it's been wet, the temperature in fact has dropped by about 20 celsius over the last 2a hours or so, but so far, there haven't been any more interruptions to play so far. the players that were out this morning competing in their second round, jon rahm is the pick of the bunch, he picked up a few shots, finished his second round on ten under par, two shots behind the leader, brooks kopeke. the players are going out for their third round at the moment but they are going out in groups of three rather than normal groups of two and they are also going on from tutees. some from the first tee and some from the tent. so the organisers will be hoping that they

can complete their round here today. in terms of rory mcelroy, so many high hopes for him going into the masters, to create a career grand slam, but missing the cut, disappointing performance. that's ri . ht, disappointing performance. that's right. probably — disappointing performance. that's right, probably one _ disappointing performance. that's right, probably one of— disappointing performance. that's right, probably one of the - disappointing performance. that's right, probably one of the most i right, probably one of the most disappointing tournaments of rory mcelroy�*s entire career. he went into this masters with so much optimism, so much confidence. he was playing well, he was the world number two. there was a feeling that this could be the year when he could finally break his masters dance and complete the career grand slam but he had a frustrating first round and frankly a pretty horrible second round yesterday. five over par he finished on time it was a mistake after mistake, it never looks likely to be enough to make even the halfway cut, and sure enough, the complete second round here early around and confirmed that rory mcelroy has missed the cut, so he will now head home, and his master hopes are overfor will now head home, and his master hopes are over for another year at least. to the football then —

and manchester city looked imperious against the premier league's bottom side southampton — as they closed the gap to leaders arsenal to five points. city won 4—1 at st marys — two goals from erling haaland, his 44th of the season with some acrobatics. and jack grealish and julian alvarez were also on the scoresheet. pep guardiola's side not letting up in the title race, with arsenal in action against against liverpool at anfield tomorrow. southampton remain at the foot of the table, four points from safety. everton are back in danger of the drop again, they were beaten 2—0 by manchester united at old trafford — and sit 17th, a place above the relegation zone. united keeping the pressure up though in the race to finish in the champions league positions. alice scarff reports. which could have possibly manchester united are back on form, from a game which could have possibly been five or 6—0 by half—time. the first 30 minutes seemed a game of one tale come long balls 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 net. that was until some great footwork by marcus rushford to keep the ball, through one, two and then three of everton�*s defence, which saw ajyden sancho the shot he needed to give united the lead. then a mistake by the everton captain led the substitute sealing the second goal in the final score of 2—0. radhford made his 350 appearance today, but had to come off due to what looked to be a growing injury. something united will hope 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. —— sean dyche. 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. we always want 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. too many mistakes against a good side. a side that has been very good here, particularly in they deserve to win. sometimes it runs up to that performance, particularly the first half, it's a reminder of the truth of the marker you are in, but everyone is a difficult site in the premier league. we are under no illusion 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 the score for the visitors — with alexander isak securing the three points. five 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—1win 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 not a penalty. there no point in having var in the game if you are going to make big

decisions like that. that decision changes everything. yeah, ijust don't understand it. i changes everything. yeah, i 'ust don't understand mi don't understand it. i think they made one _ don't understand it. i think they made one tight _ don't understand it. i think they made one tight decision - don't understand it. i think they made one tight decision on - don't understand it. i think they made one tight decision on a i made one tight decision on a handball, but they don't make a clear_ handball, but they don't make a clear decision of the penalty, so make _ clear decision of the penalty, so make sense of that, because 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 11 league games. they're just a place above wolves in the table. i'm not questioning mindset, what i'm doing in the short time i've been here. i have to try to get an understanding of it. when i say mindset, it 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 point where you try to move forward. every 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 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 again. 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, it may not always be the best, we would like to be playing much better, and pain from a weak position, ——playing much better, and playing from a 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 sixth, with their fourth victory in a row. forest's poor run of form leaves 18th, inside the relegation zone on goal difference. you know, we are desperate to do well for the supporters and the club, there is no denying that. it makes these moments in these mistakes, you know, these goals even more costly and even more hurtful, so, but the people, as i've said, in

previous games, we can play 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 three points off the relegation zone. leicester second from bottom — but only two points from safety, so still all to play for. celtic seem like they're coasting towards retaining the scottish premiership title after victory in the old firm against rangers — to extend their lead to 12 points with seven games to go. patrick gearey reports. rangers were 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. var agreed. celtic had been strangely subdued but eventually found a way of getting the ball to kyogo furuhashi. 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. top corner, top quality. in the intensity of these games though, every touch matters. the last place ben davies wants to clear this was here. kyogo, 2—1. next, john souttar lost his way in a hostile part of glasgow. in wentjota, in went celtic�*s third. pandemonium. rangers had no time for regrets. a last, desperate rally was led by the head of tavernier. too little, too late. one of football's most ferocious derbies ended in a celtic private party. patrick gearey, bbc news. well the celtic manager is erring on the side of caution and insists the title isn't yet won. probably suggests it's all down side. i get it, we are in a great position, but what a wasted game of

football. we've still got seven or eight, seven i think to go in the lead, the cup semi final, its opportunity to produce some magic and win some games of football. i'm not going to let anyone dismiss any of those games. i want more from a players day in, day out, _ i want more from a players day in, day out, i— i want more from a players day in, day out, i want more from a football club when _ day out, i want more from a football club when we look this summer. we have to _ club when we look this summer. we have to make steps to move forward, we've _ have to make steps to move forward, we've shown — have to make steps to move forward, we've shown improvement since i've come _ we've shown improvement since i've come into_ we've shown improvement since i've come into the club, been happy with the application, but i need more from them. any more for our fans, we don't _ from them. any more for our fans, we don't want _ from them. any more for our fans, we don't want to — from them. any more for our fans, we don't want to come away from these games disappointed. and in the rest of the games in scotland, hearts drop to fourth after the sixth defeat in seven. they were beaten by st mirren, who are nowjust a point behind. aberdeen are up to third, theirfine form under barry robson continues. they won 2—0 against kilmarnock. also wins for motherwell and ross county. he 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.

despite beng a man downjosh thewlis went on to score a decisive try for the super league leaders. the victory moves wolves four points clear of second placed wigan warriors. 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 fiesty encounter winning by 22 points to 20 to move up to sixth in the table. nick parrott was watching. since returning to cb leak in changing their name, the leopards have strived to put on a show, smoke had very clear it when they opened the scoring against the red devils. it was an early blow, but not a significant one. salford hit back three times with raining man of steel, helping them to a ten point lead by the break. they were down, but certainly not out, ryan brierley went from try saving hero for the visitors to a devil heading to the same been for this interference. the

hosts made the most of the temporary man advantage with tom briscoe cutting the deficit. but instead of making ground, they lost it. tyler dupree squeezed through for salford. they gave me hope for a remarkable comeback when he made it through an even tighter gap for his second try. in a pulsating finale, ben reynolds added another, but with just 11 seconds left, it was too late to deny the devil �*s victory. exeter are through to the semi—finals of rugby union's champions cup after beating stormers 112—17. tries from tom wyatt, jack nowell and 0lly woodburn gave exeter a 21—point lead at half—time... and the emphatic win was sealed with tom cairns going over late on. they play the winner of la rochelle or saracens who play tomorrow. earlier toulouse crushed south africa's sharks with a 54—20 victory. sharks managed to stay in the game

in more than 20 years. the british open will take place on a specially built court in the city's rep theatre. commonwealth medallist sarah—jane perry is keen to use home advantage to the full. nick clitheroe reports. fully focused on one of the biggest moments in her sporting year. sarah—jane perry is one of the world's top ten female squash players in the british open is a title she would love to win. it is pretty amazing having the most prestigious squash tournament in the world in your hometown. it doesn't happen for most people ever, so to have it here in my home city of birmingham is absolutely incredible. after the world championships it's the one that everyone wants to win, even though points wise and everything it's on the same level as the other platinum events, it's got that extra history, it's got that extra something else, it is something you want to be able to say when you finish that you've won the british open. the west work sugar sports complex this morning, she was training beside coach rob:

in three other players hoping to make their mark on the tournament. the first two days will take place at the edgbaston club the action switches to a glass quite specially contracted inside the birmingham red. the location is wonderful, it almost reminds me of italian football stadiums, it is so steep, the crowd will feel like they are part of the action, which is very integral and creates a fantastic atmosphere and squash event. i think that's one of the real selling things about squash is that we can take our court and we can put it up anywhere. i went down to check it out, and i cannot see how it is going to be anything but incredible. the seats going up and up is going to bring all that sound down to the court when you are playing. a strong egyptian contingent will be tough to beat, but sarahjane is determined this is one theatrical drama with a local

hero sets the stage. finally — it's the opening round of the british rallycross championship at lydden hill this weekend, and for the first time, electric cars will line up alongside petrol ones on the grid. the kent circuit is where rallycross was invented in the 1960s — and racers say this is the biggest change in regulation since its inception. james dunn reports. it's fast, it's filthy and for the first time ever, it is electric. the harris team is one of those that's gone battery power this season, and there is a very different feel to the opening race. the acceleration on it is phenomenal and instant. the torque is massive it's probably about 1.7—1.8 zero to 60. so it's a quick bit of kit. controlling it is a brave man. the dover based team is sticking to petrol, the new format means an interesting season for them. we haven't had many changes.

the rules haven't changed for ten years or so, so the electric era is really new. now they are competing side by side it is going to be really interesting for everybody. what really sets it apart from other motorsport is that it is gravel and tarmac, you can actually see on the track the point at which the two meet, and look at that ramp behind it. just look at the air they get as they go over it. through the introduction of electric is a new sound to the grid, it sparks fierce debate track side. there's been a lot of anti—electric for the petrol heads, but they've got to get used to the quietness of the electric. this sport is probably one of the few sports where the cars are still making quite a bit of noise because they move around so much because they are sideways, they are breaking hard, ——so much because they are sideways, they are braking hard, they've got one wheel on the ground,... 0n the two of the 14 teams

here today are electric, but they both made the final. so they are already keeping up and most agree eventually, battery power will win the race. that's all from sportsday. a quick update from the masters come three under way at the moment as john is chasing down brooks koepka who leads on 1300. four shots ahead of him. there through six on that one, a bit of a delayed masters so far due to the awful weather in georgia. we will keep up with that of the bbc sport website. that it from us, thanks for watching, we will see you again a bit later on. hello there, good evening. it's been a beautiful day of weather for most of the uk with lots of blue sky and sunshine, as captured by our weather watcher here in derbyshire, but a bit more cloud towards eastern coastal areas. still even, here, some sunny spells breaking through,

and it's more or less the same again 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, 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.
