and after all her hard work raising awareness from her temporary home in the northeast she deserves to be reunited with her home and family back in the ukraine one day. hello there. i'm karthi gnanasegaram from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme: it took penalties to separate them, but manchester united eventually beat brighton to book a place in the fa cup final. an electric atmosphere as newcastle embarrass spurs and elevate their own hopes of finishing in the top four. and we'll have details of a dream debut as well as a record—breaking london marathon. hello and thanks forjoining us. here's your latest sports news.

we start with the fa cup, and for the very first time, both manchester clubs have reached the final. city were awaiting the winners of sunday's game between united and brighton, but that match needed extra time and penalties to decide it. natalie pirks reports from wembley. high—flying brighton landed at wembley, relishing their status of favourites. the seagulls are pushing for europe in the league, and under a grey london sky, an fa cup final for the first time in a0 years was at stake. united were looking to respond after a defensive horror show in europe. early on alexis mcallister put david tejeda's reflexes to the test. united were buoyed by the return of bruno fernandes. sanchez needed to be sharp. but it was brighton with all the running. they came out in the second half, all guns blazing. as the game opened up for them,

tejeda had to yet again be on his toes. tired legs and heads now faced extra time. chances came and went. in this slugfest neither could inflict the final blow. even all penalties was scored, until solly march stepped up. he has enjoyed a brilliant season but football can be cruel. and that proved decisive. lindelof ensured united won the spot kick lottery while brighton could only rue what might have been. after an abject performance in europe, this was the perfect way to bounce back. it was by no means vintage but now united will attempt to stop their noisy neighbours from completing the treble in the first manchester derby in an fa cup final. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. it was teased as having the potential to be a closely fought top four battle, but in reality, it was over after 21 minutes. newcastle thrashed

tottenham 6—1 in the end. eddie howe�*s side were five goals up in the first half, and added a sixth after harry kane grabbed a consolation for spurs. that result means newcastle up to third in the table, with spurs�* top four hopes taking a massive hit. they're six points off the champions league places, with those above also having games in hand. all in all, a terrible afternoon for tottenham. i want to apologise with everyone because the first 25 minutes were not enough for this type of game. for me, it was an unexpected performance but when we change the system, we play much better, so maybe my decision to change the system was not the right decision. the mood is good but everyone has got a very stable and balanced mindset.

we are never too high or low and especially in this now we have seven tough games and we have to take each 11 by one. it's very cliche but we can't look past opponents at the moment and tick them off and see where we end up. there was a massive result for west ham too. they beat fellow strugglers bournemouth 4—0. there were four different scorers for david moyes�*s side and it would have been 5—0, if var hadn't ruled out a stoppage time goal. west ham are up to 13th place in the table now, jumping above today's opponents and putting a six—point gap between west ham and the bottom three clubs. probably been one of our best weeks. we started last week against arsenal and meet again in mid weekend is called to against arsenal, we scored four in this game and midweek as well, several it's been a good week.

we hope to build on it. didn't start the season also if you can finish it well, it'll be well thought we have got coming up. there is not much to be said about performance today. we will review and move onto the next game. there are clear reasons why we were not able to compete with west ham today, shows how hard it is in the premier league but if you are slightly off and don't cope with one opposition can offer, what can happen. we reset and get ready to go again on thursday. serie a champions—in—waiting napoli took their lead at the top of the table back to 17 points againstjuventus. juventus have leapt back up the table after their 15—point deduction for false accounting was reversed and they are in third place despite losing 1—0 to napoli, thanks to a stoppage time winnerfrom giacomo raspadori. angel di maria had had a goal ruled out forjuve about ten minutes earlier. inter milan's win over empoli has taken them into fifth place. romelu lukaku with two of inter�*s three goals.

la liga leaders barcelona are 11 points clear of real madrid after beating atletico1—0. while valencia beat elche 2—0. there were also wins for mallorca and sevilla. arsenal came from behind to claim a 2—2 draw against wolfsburg in the first leg of their women's champions league semifinal in germany. the competition's top scorer eva pajor netted her eighth goal in the champions league this season with wolfsburg's first. striker stina black—stenius capped off a tireless display when she equalised for arsenal in the second half to keep their pursuit of a second european trophy alive. the second leg is next monday with over 40,000 fans expected at the emirates stadium. lebronjames and the la lakers are getting ready for game 4 against the memphis grizzlies and it's all getting a bit heated. dillon brooks called james "old" after game 2 and was ejected in game 3 for striking the lakers man in the groin — but lebron

we will be back later, but for now, goodbye. hello there. the weather for the first few days of this week set to be really quite chilly for the time of year, cold enough even to see some areas of frost, as we'll see in a moment. now, what's going on? the area of low pressure that brought some of us rain on sunday is moving eastwards. as that happens, we get these cold northerly winds plunging southwards across the uk, those winds originating from somewhere north of greenland. well, that's not going to be warm, is it? so, right now, we're seeing the colder air arrive across northern scotland. showers here have started to turn to sleet. did have a few thunderstorms around london and south east england, but they've cleared out of the way.

rain is starting to develop into wales. now, temperatures for the most part around 4—7 degrees as we head into monday morning, but colder than that in scotland, where we'll continue to see those wintry showers driven in on gale force gusts of wind in the north. further south, we've got this area of rain in wales moving across the south midlands and southern england, so turning quite miserable, and around the northern edge of that, there'll be probably some areas that see temperatures limited to around 7—8 degrees celsius. so, feeling cold, but particularly cold across northern scotland on account of those strong winds. now, those winds fall light as we go through monday night and we're looking at a widespread frost in the countryside. temperatures get down as low as —5 celsius. i think that could be quite damaging for some of the tender plants that gardeners may have out, so gardeners might want to pay attention to that. a frosty but sunny start to the day on tuesday, the exception northern scotland, where we'll see those sleet showers continue to be driven in on the brisk winds. cloud will tend to bubble up to a degree as we head through the course of the day and it will stay chilly. seven degrees in aberdeen, that's four celsius below average for this

stage of the year. heading into wednesday, we still have pressure high to the north of the uk, so a reasonably dry and bright start to the day across northern and eastern areas, but still cold, a bit of hazy sunshine. in the south and west, well, we start to see cloud thicken and it may well be that we start to see some patches of light rain arrive as those temperatures slowly start to creep up. becoming a little bit less cold is probably the way to think of that. it's not really until thursday that we get some properly milder air moving in from the south—west. but as that happens and the south—westerly winds strengthen, well, we start to see outbreaks of rain spread in and that rain looks to be quite heavy across england and wales, it's already been a wet month for some and more wet weather to come here, staying cold in northern scotland. that's the latest.
