you're watching bbc news. now is sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm paul scott live at the bbc sport centre. a hammer blow as arsenal drop points in the premier league title race — with west ham coming from 2—0 down to earn a draw. chelsea's quest for the treble is still on as emma hayes�* side reach the women's fa cup final — with a narrow victory over aston villa. and jessica gadirova leads the way for great britain with a third gold medal at the european gymastics championships in turkey.

hello and welcome to the programme. it could turn out to be a pivotal sunday at both ends of the premier league, after west ham came from 2—0 down to earn a point against league leaders arsenal. it's a result that leaves the gunners 4 points clear of second placed manchester city — having played a game more. whilst it's a boost to west ham's survival chances. olly foster reports. with manchester city breathing down their necks, arsenal knew they could ill afford any more slip—ups before they face their title rivals in ten days�* time. they couldn't have been any more sure—footed in the way they started, gabrieljesus tapped in their opener and they were 2—0 up. the captain volleyed it home. last weekend the gunners threw away a to

michael reed at liverpool. but they give a penalty themselves. a handball. surely he would restore the 2-0 handball. surely he would restore the 2—0 lead. the answer came two minutes later. jarrod bowen, and west ham's tails were up. the next one wins it and that is how close the hammers came, but it is a precious bonus point that edges them closer to safety. as for arsenal, what does that do for the title race? . , ., , . . ~ race? read the body language. we clearly dominated _ race? read the body language. we clearly dominated and _ race? read the body language. we clearly dominated and controlled . race? read the body language. we i clearly dominated and controlled the game and scored two beautiful goals and then we made a huge mistake. we need to play around them, and in that moment instead of killing them, we give them help and credit to them, they took that hope and used at the right way and it caused us

problems with set plays, and after that it was a crucial moment. you want to go 3—0 up with a penalty, you miss it. two minutes later, you are chasing the game. mathematically i do not know what is going to happen. seven weeks ago, three weeks later i have no clue what is going to happen. we can do mathematically to happen. we can do mathematically to give us the best chance by winning matches, and today we played for 30 or 45 minutes and it is not enoughin for 30 or 45 minutes and it is not enough in this league.— for 30 or 45 minutes and it is not enough in this league. when you go to- zero down _ enough in this league. when you go to- zero down as _ enough in this league. when you go to- zero down as a _ enough in this league. when you go to- zero down as a manager - enough in this league. when you go to- zero down as a manager to - to— zero down as a manager to arsenal, — to— zero down as a manager to arsenal, you'd think my goodness, how do— arsenal, you'd think my goodness, how do we — arsenal, you'd think my goodness, how do we get back into this? i do not think_ how do we get back into this? i do not think we — how do we get back into this? i do not think we started digging badly, we try— not think we started digging badly, we try to _ not think we started digging badly, we try to put them as much pressure as we _ we try to put them as much pressure as we could, — we try to put them as much pressure as we could, they scored a couple of goals— as we could, they scored a couple of goals which— as we could, they scored a couple of goals which looked incredibly simple but it was— goals which looked incredibly simple but it was more to do with the quality— but it was more to do with the quality and ability. great credit to the players, never give up, stuck at it, the players, never give up, stuck at it. showed — the players, never give up, stuck at it, showed no signs of fatigue from the game _ it, showed no signs of fatigue from the game in midweek and went on to

with this pass for diogo dalot who made it two — it was the portguese defender�*s first ever goal in the premier league. nottingham forest could have escaped the bottom three with a win. erik ten hag's side move up to third, three points clear of newcastle. steve cooper's forest remain 18th. a solid win, i would say, really focused, really concentrated from start to finish. you have to get the second goal. we created a lot, but we didn't score. late on in the game, i think we should have already closed it early on because always there is a threat, you make one mistake and you get an equaliser so you have to avoid that. ah, mistake and you get an equaliser so you have to avoid that.— you have to avoid that. a clean sheet, you have to avoid that. a clean sheet. you _ you have to avoid that. a clean sheet, you had _ you have to avoid that. a clean sheet, you had to _ you have to avoid that. a clean sheet, you had to make - you have to avoid that. a clean i sheet, you had to make changes you have to avoid that. a clean - sheet, you had to make changes in defence because of injury. how do you think the defenders that came in dead? , .. you think the defenders that came in dead? , ., ., ., you think the defenders that came in dead? , ., ., , dead? very good, a really solid performance — dead? very good, a really solid performance from _ dead? very good, a really solid performance from all. - dead? very good, a really solid

jos buttler�*s only contribution for the royals was catching out shubman gill — he was out for a duck in his own innings. with a target of 177, two half centuries from captain sanju samson and shimron hetmeyer helped the royals to a 3 wicket win. in cricket�*s county championship division one, there were wins for northants, nottinghamshire, surrey and warwickshire. details of all those over on the bbc sport website. at chelmsford, england�*sjimmy anderson continues his preparations for this summer�*s ashes. he was in the thick of the action as lancashire played out a draw with essex. just like the first innings he once again saw off his former england skipper alastair cook, trapping him lbw, this time for a duck. he bowled 13 overs as essex reached 128 for 4 before both teams shared the points. to cycling and tom pidcock finished third in the amstel gold race. tadej pogacar pulled clear of the ineos grenadiers rider

with 28 and a half kilometres to go in the race�*s decisive move, the slovenian was all alone out in front and raced to victory by 38 seconds. pidcock eventually came home two minutes and 14 seconds further back. in the women�*s race, britain�*s pfeiffer georgi finished seventh, with dutch rider demi vollering coming out on top, breaking away in the final kilometre to finally claim victory in the gold race after back to back runner—up finishes. andrey rublev has won the biggest title of his career, after claiming his first ever atp masters 1000 crown, by beating holger rune in the men�*s singles final in monte carlo. the fifth seed sealed victory over rune with his fifth ace of the match, before dropping to the ground in celebration. rublev fought back from a set down for the second match in a row, having turned it around after trailing 4—1 in the decider — he came through 5—7, 6—2, 7—5 for the 13th title

of his career. that�*s all from myself paul scott and the sportsday. we�*ll have more throughout the evening. hello, pressure has been building through the weekend but also with it a much moister air flow bringing a lot of cloud across the uk today, the cloud has been thick enough for patchy light rain and drizzle, and we will keep some of that going through this evening and overnight, initially across parts of southern scotland into northern england, the midlands, maybe east anglia by the end of the night. could see some clearer skies across kent for a time but for most a generally cloudy night, but not as cold as last night. temperatures generally between five and 10 celsius, perhaps two or three if we see clearer skies developing for long enough across parts of kent. this is how we start the new week with high pressure firmly in charge and we will keep that area of high

pressure close by for much of the week. unlike the weekjust gone, the week ahead is looking much drier for many, some spells of sunshine as well and a little warmer at first before we start to develop an easterly wind which will gradually turn things cooler as the week wears on. a lot of cloud to start the day through monday, some outbreaks of rain initially across southern and central england, that will soon clear and we will see spells of sunshine develop for many. keep an eye on this bank of mist and low cloud on the north sea, perhaps pushing into the coast of east anglia and south east england. monday is likely to be the warmest day of the week, temperatures potentially up to 16, maybe even 17 celsius and once again that mist and low cloud could push its way a little bit further westwards as we head through monday evening but some clearer skies further west. here is an area of high pressure as we head into tuesday, it changes its orientation slightly so this is where we start to pick up that easterly wind. should be a good deal of sunshine for many on tuesday, perhaps more cloud drifting into parts of east anglia and south east england

through the afternoon but for many, dry, fine and plenty of sunshine. the winds do start to strengthen for eastern coasts, temperatures here may struggle to get above 12 or 13 celsius. elsewhere in the sunshine it should be pleasant enough with temperatures getting up to 14 or 15 celsius, those easterly winds do start to strengthen further as we head through wednesday and thursday. keep an eye on what is happening to the east and south—east of us, could potentially see some areas of rain pushing in later on thursday and into friday, but for most the week ahead is looking much drier, some spells of sunshine, warmer to start, but then turning cooler through the week.
