in the top flight of english football. for a large part of that half, even with the result, i will take that performance. when the second goes in, you cannot take that performance. that is when the basics were out the window. there was plenty inside that goal so there is no chance. it was this exactly the same, that was the reality of the challenge i took over. it is still there and we have to corrected. the return to form in a really good way. i think it was a period where we had questions to answer but the response for the player has been great. such a quick turnaround we have had two days before we play southampton and really important couple of games but the end table will tell us where we are and what we have next season. at the moment we are just focusing _ at the moment we are just focusing on the next game. tottenham came back from two goals down to salvage a point

and summer pride against manchester united in caretaker manager ryan mason's first match back in charge. jayden sanches scott for the visitors within seven minutes and then marcus rashford scored his 29th club goal of the season to put united thoroughly in control at halftime. with fans protesting against board, spurs put in a better performance in the second half. pulling one back through pedro porro. and then drawing level though heung—min son. my priority from day one on monday was to get this group together to see a group of men working together on the pitch, fighting for each other and i felt that today. i hope the fans felt it today as well because we could certainly feel them with us. we have five games to keep working and hopefully get positive results. we didn't play that well but still we had a lot of chances and we did not finish. we were not clinical enough but we scored two times and then we had

to finish the game. although we scored twice in an away game which is good but the goals we conceded were so easy and we could avoid them. bournemouth gave their hopes of survival a huge boost with the 1—0 win against bottom side southampton. marcus tavernier got the crucial goal five minutes after halftime. southampton had a che adams effort ruled out through var minutes from time. bournemouth are seven points clear of the relegation zone while southampton are six points adrift of safety. nice to get the three points. the lads thoroughly deserved it. we should have been more clinical. we got to show a little resilience towards the end and we had to hang on against a team that were desperate, throwing everything forward, including the goalkeeper, so, yeah, it was a good win. fiorentina we'll play inter milan in the coppa italia final, after beating cremonese 2—0 on aggregate, after thursday's second leg.

in a footballing bubble where we eat, sleep and live football and i did not know what the opportunities were like, that there were so many opportunities differentjobs within the sport. when you just come out of the academy, you were also one of those people we did not know that they will keep me, what did that feel like? it is strange to say but i was just feeling, from the age of six onwards, people come and go, you get released, go to a different club and just because you are not quite fitting in right now. i am a lucky player who has never had to go through these challenges but i am a very, very, very small percentage of the players in the academies right now and i think with the majority, the high majority, failing, there needs to be some kind of support and safety net.

most players coming through the academy know, if you are not 100% committed, you have no chance. if you are 100% committed you have a tiny chance. from all the conversations and e—mails i have received, that was a common theme, the fear of failure now that has now built up in players and people going into the real world. people are scared to be vulnerable, to put themselves out for a newjob orjust because they put everything into this and got told you are not good enough. trying again is something really scary for them. andy murray is out of the madrid masters in the first round after losing to qualifier andrea vavassori in straight sets.

on my hard work getting through it. you find a way to grind it out, just put your head down and just keep going, just keep moving forward, you can never stand still. that was my thing, never be still, never get to focus on the now and looking forward to what is to come. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. from me and from the rest of the team at bbc sports centre, goodbye. hello. well, it's a very damp picture out there at the moment, a lot of cloud shrouding the uk. but if we have a look at the satellite picture, you can see some big gaps in the clouds to the west and southwest of us. that is heading our way, so there will be some sunshine on friday.

let's have a look at the outlook, though, for the next few days. so, yes, sunny spells to come on friday, particularly by the time we get to the afternoon. but overall, the bank holiday weekend is actually going to be quite warmer compared to what we've been used to in the last few days. having said that, showers are also expected. so the forecast then, for early friday, a lot of cloud. you can see where it's still raining across parts of scotland, the north of england, but by this stage, it's already starting to dry out, particularly across wales and the southwest. and as we go through the morning, into the afternoon, we'll see sunny spells developing widely. first across the southern half of the uk and then eventually a little bit further north too. but one or two showers certainly on the cards for friday. temperatures at best around 19 or even 20 celsius in the southeast, about 14 celsius expected in glasgow and not far off that in belfast. now, as we go through the weekend, we'll continue to see relatively mild air coming in from the south, not as hot, anywhere near as hot, as it has been in spain, the south of spain and portugal. now, our air is actually coming all the way from the azores,

so, yes, the mild direction, but we're not going to be getting the heat you may have heard about across iberia. so saturday, then, a scattering of showers on the cards but sunny spells, too, and here are the temperatures, around 19 celsius again in london, but quite chilly across parts of scotland. aberdeen, for example, no higher than around 8 celsius. and here's a look at sunday, again, a real mixed bag on the way. some of the showers could turn out to be really heavy on sunday, perhaps even with some cracks of thunder on the way. now, the temperatures around the mid teens across the northern part of england and into the lowlands. warmest spots, again, in the south. and then as we go into monday, bank holiday monday, high pressure is expected to build across the uk, but it's not going to be completely dry, because, again, in the north, especially in scotland, we are anticipating some showers. so here's the outlook from saturday onwards, it is a bit of a mixed bag, especially through the weekend, and actually into next week, you can see those temperatures easing once again. bye— bye.
