after beating arsenal midweek, they blazed into craven cottage with the summit in their sites. and that is absolutely magnificent! it wasn't always so easy on the eye. edison was left scrambling in the second half at 2—1. but city were not to be denied. they now returned to the top of the table. it is likely that is where they will finish. fulham manager marco silva said they didn't create enough chances.

we'll hearfrom him injust a moment, but first, city manager pep guardiola described it as a close match, and important to get all three points. we had a very good moment. they didn't quite much with the goal, didn't create too much opportunities, i would say. but it was always tied. we knew that... winning this type of game today was really important and the players we have are amazing. and some moments we push them back

but we _ and some moments we push them back but we were _ and some moments we push them back but we were not able to create many chances _ but we were not able to create many chances we — but we were not able to create many chances. we had lots to be proud of. now to an astonishing match at anfield with liverpool stunning tottenham by hitting three goals in the first 15 minutes. tottenham did battlle back to level the score, but were silenced by a screaming winner in injury time. adam cottier reports on a seven goal thriller. taught men's head coach ryan mason wanted his team to show together on the wake of recent turmoil liverpool had won their three previous primary league games as they made a late season surge torch little places. luis diaz made it 2—0 and one christian romero was punished, another first half capitulation was underlined by most sours ruthlessness from the spot. it was 3-0 with ruthlessness from the spot. it was 3—0 with less than three minutes player, with taught men's display.

however, having leached five goals inside 21 minutes at newcastle, taught and demonstrated some resilience and may some of that togetherness they had been speaking of acts they struck back with goals from harry kane and the side of half—time. by this point, spurs had also hit the post twice and they completed their shot back. liverpool, though, weren't flapping. gifted one last chance moments later by lucas morris misplaced past. took it in front of the cup, delivering a knockout blow to spurs champions league hoax and pulling liverpool up the fifth, seven points off the top floor. that's not great, but from a

development point a lot of things to love about the game and a lot of things not to like. and that's my life. i like the good parts that much that i have a feeling we can sort the other stuff. we can sort. and let's keep going.— and let's keep going. difficult to ut into and let's keep going. difficult to put into words. _ and let's keep going. difficult to put into words. at _ and let's keep going. difficult to put into words. at the _ and let's keep going. difficult to put into words. at the start, - and let's keep going. difficult to put into words. at the start, to i put into words. at the start, to give _ put into words. at the start, to give them _ put into words. at the start, to give them three goals makes our task very difficult to come in when the game _ very difficult to come in when the game but— very difficult to come in when the game. but we are chances throughout the game _ game. but we are chances throughout the game. every time we had the ball, _ the game. every time we had the ball. to _ the game. every time we had the ball, to give a team like this for goals, _ ball, to give a team like this for goals, it — ball, to give a team like this for goals, it is _ ball, to give a team like this for goals, it is impossible to win games of footbalh — a close victory for manchester united at old trafford as they beat aston villa, ending their ten match unbeaten run. bruno fernandez with the only goal of the game just before half time. that's his 100th career league goal.

the three points gives manchester united's champions league hopes a boost. they're fourth, two points behind newcastle. really happy with the points, but also with the performance. it was an impressive performance. didn't lose over ten games, i think. score every game. and we were totally in control. we created a lot of chances, 1—0, ithink control. we created a lot of chances, 1—0, i think it could have been 314111. chances, 1—0, i think it could have been 31441. so our sides, really good and impressive performance. before the match manchester united fans protested outside old trafford. a large section of supporters marched to the stadium carrying banners opposing the continued glazer ownership. earlier i spoke to bbc football reporter simon stone who was there and asked him what had happened? well basically, the protest lasted for two and a half hours and started with hundreds of fans meeting in manchester city centre,

chanting against the current ownership. and then the numbers swelled as the protest march continued from the city centre, by which time there were thousands of fans making their feelings known. the vast majority did enter the stadium in time for kick off of today's game against aston villa, but a significant number remained outside, outside the directors entrance, and carried on making a noisy protest against the current ownership of the football club. of course, there has been a lot of speculation over who is going to potentially buy manchester united, if they are. can you explain the context of this project? the context basically is that on friday, potential bidders for the club were given another deadline to make what is viewed as a final offer. we seem to have two major parties who are trying to get control of the crew.

———club. ...who is trying to buy a majority stake in the club. we thought that was 69%, but we are led to believe he may be led to accept a lower stake not, allowing the co—chair of manchester united to remain in some capacity. that is where he and some fans because they want rid of the lazier family from their club. southampton�*s struggle to survive in the premier league continues after a 3—1 loss to newcastle. southampton did score first, through stuart armstrong, but calum wilson equalised for newcastle. an own goal followed and then wilson got his second, newcastle's third to seal the win. they are third in the league — southampton rooted to the bottom.

bournemouth thrashed leeds 4—1, jefferson lerma scoring twice in four minutes. leeds pulled a goal back with a patrick bamford header, but that result leaves leeds in 16th, just a point above the relegation zone. that win moves bournemouth closer to safety — they're in 13th. huddersfield town took a giant step towards championship safety by beating cardiff city. manager neil warnock led the terriers to a 2—1 victory over his old club. hudddersfield are now three points clear of the drop zone and a point from their last two games would be enough to keep them in the division. 0ne game in the women's super league today and manchester city kept up their fight in the title race, coming from behind to beat reading 4—1. khadija shaw became the outright top scorer in the women's super league with her 18th of the season.

budge. the post came to the keeper record shortly afterwards but they were turning up the heat. stayed strong, the spare for rangers, but celtic march on to yet another final. i'm really proud of the group. we knew there was a lot of steak. and the rangers, this was their last opportunity to gain some success as well so we knew it was going to require all of our facets in our game. i thought we did that and we played our football we needed to. game. i thought we did that and we played ourfootball we needed to. we defended really strongly. and throughout it all, just an unbelievable work ethic this group of players has. they figured out a way to overcome the challenge again. i'm a bit disappointed. i think we

blazing into the lead! progress than george russell to finish six. they were pushing still, but some were surprisingly stefan had no answer to his team—mates pace. he still leaves the championship, but in baku it was the mexican working his street magic. we'll get some reaction from lewis hamilton and verstappen in a moment but first here's sergio perez. it was very close between us. we push to the max today,, the way max

sessions tomorrow as well where you will find out who your winter is. that's all for sports day, publisher we go there is an exclusive manager with vincent kompany. he is going to be managing the club in premier league next season of course. here's a little teaser. thanks for watching, bye. hello, welcome to the football new show. after securing promotion and the championship title to go with it, the man behind the revitalisation of the club is manager vincent kompany, whojoined manager vincent kompany, who joined the manager vincent kompany, whojoined the club last summer. earlier this season michael brown went to speak to him about his journey as

brand—new boss. to him about his “ourney as brand-new boss.- to him about his “ourney as brand-new boss. ~ ., brand-new boss. when i arrived, i kind of planted — brand-new boss. when i arrived, i kind of planted out _ brand-new boss. when i arrived, i kind of planted out a _ brand-new boss. when i arrived, i kind of planted out a little - brand-new boss. when i arrived, i kind of planted out a little in - brand-new boss. when i arrived, i kind of planted out a little in my i kind of planted out a little in my head how i wanted it to be. but in the end, i was very lucky to come into a very good environment. it just allowed me to settle quickly and to get on with my business, which is the football side of things. i rememberthe which is the football side of things. i remember the first days and you are walking out.— things. i remember the first days and you are walking out. you've got such a big job. _ and you are walking out. you've got such a big job, looking _ and you are walking out. you've got such a big job, looking at _ and you are walking out. you've got such a big job, looking at the - such a big job, looking at the recruitment side and things like that. can you believe it was so successful so quickly because mark number 21 english football. and so you can be champion, or you can be promoted or whatever it is, but you are still 21 in english football, so you've just got to get better. for me, the key thing when i was here is 15 players leaving, having to sell the best players, that was daunting because the building was almost

empty. but the opportunity was also that you could recruit i felt with the people here, the recruitment team, and all the people that helped us, ifelt team, and all the people that helped us, i felt we were in a good position to recruit the right people. did you have a lot of that in place already, before you came here, you've had some players on your radar? yeah. so whatever it's going to be next year, you're only allowed so many. i think it always depends. if i would've been a division below the championship, or even a division above the championship, it wouldn't have been a similar type of of players i would have scouted over the couple of years i was in coaching. but the championship isjust very similar to the belgian first division where i was in terms of budget and in terms of players we can afford, and we can look out for. so it was just literally, it was a different club,

a different name, but it was very similar in terms of scale so i didn't have to throw everything away when i came here. what is the perfect way of playing on the vincent kompany side. what would be your ideal sort of way to play if you are given a blank canvas to go on? it's a statement that i made on day one, i want to score goals. used quite a lot, haven't you? just one. i'm a former defender, but still my life as a coach, i want to be at the head of teams that score a lot of goals, as many as we can, and my ideal is to be able to score from every phase of place. so whether we are defending a firm in the corner, whether we are talking and we have possession, whether we are pursing to recover the ball, to always have an idea to turn every phase into a goal and to involve every player in the lead up to that. that is on paper.

it takes time, obviously, and you build it gradually. i was looking at craig bellamy coming in. you played against him, nightmare, and join the challenge. he's obviously not short of an opinion. how do the two of you work together. is it bad cop, bad cop,. you obviously have that aura and the understanding, the players know exactly where you want them to be and you can't cross about. generally there is a coach that goes around on the side, who can go and soften that approach. has he got that, and what's important about that for you? he was always the smartest one in the dressing room. really? yeah, honestly. so in terms of football knowledge for sure, and then the rest of it, he has that image, but in the end when it came down to football, and also his values,

his morals, the way he was raised, he's got fantastic values. he has an emotional switch, and obviously the younger you are, the more difficult it is to control. but i couldn't imagine any better person to guide us through the process, because i have a lot of players on my team who are probably more similar to bellas as a player than they are to me. and it is important to have that balance of someone they can actually turn and look, this is how you work through it, and make something of yourself. work through it, and make something of ourself. �* , , of yourself. because he was very successful- _ of yourself. because he was very successful. and _ of yourself. because he was very successful. and he _ of yourself. because he was very successful. and he is _ of yourself. because he was very successful. and he is continuing | of yourself. because he was very l successful. and he is continuing to be so. it is cliche that you pick up from every manager, but the truth is, that is the best manager i have ever had. it has definitely been a starting point for me. and then the other side of it, you know, i remember with mancini did a lot of bark line works, and that's what i really started

appreciating defending. i was a defender before but i never loved in the way i loved it when obviously any time with coaching mancini. than the other side of the game with pellegrini was almost all out attacking. not really looking back at.. it was just the two of us. everyone else was attacking. but the first year we got, i think a record amount of goals and we won the league and the second game in the wheels came off a little bit. but you learn from all these things. i could go through so many managers, but in the end it's, you definitely learn from everyone. something pep said recently, he felt like you were going to be a manchester city manager. what did you feel like when he said that? my goal is to get better. i think city should always have the best manager in the world, nobody else. and that's not me.

so my focus is just getting better, and we will see. maybe it will show how far i am from being that guy, but eventually i willjust work as hard as i can, and to get better every single time. when i was a player, injuries got in the way a lot of times of my progression. as a manager, i can't get injured, so i am looking forward. so there's no excuses and there's no stumbling. there's no nothing. you are saying you've got to be the best to be given that manchester city role, is that? i'm actually splitting the things. i'm not talking about myself. because i'm a former city player. i would expect that manchester city always has the best manager in the world. they have the best manager in the world today, and i hope he stays for another ten years. and if not, they should have the best manager in the world after that. from my side, i am

way down the ranking. so, there isn't even a second and my thoughts where i am busy with that. my goal is, i am looking forward to, i live that. my strengths, my biggest strength is that if i fail, i get back up and i come back stronger. you can find all of our latest episodes from the football news show over on the bbc iplayer. goodbye. hello there. so far, we've had more rain than average across england this month. the south and east have been particularly west. there are some areas that have seen nearly double the average april rainfall, which is just like last month, a second month on the row that it's been wet. but like last month, northern scotland has actually had drier weather than average.

it's also been a bit sunnier and a bit milder, too. now, to add to those rainfall figures, we've got today's rain. you can see it has been quite a wet day with plenty of showers around. some of those showers have turned heavy with some thunderstorms in northern ireland heading towards western scotland. 0vernight tonight, there will be further showers coming and going and often it's going to be fairly cloudy. the cloud will stop temperatures from falling very fast. so our overnight lows get down to between six and nine degrees celsius. now, tomorrow, a reasonable start to the day. there will be quite a bit of morning cloud, but i think some sunny spells break through that reasonably quickly. there'll be some showers, too. this band of showers pushes southwards across scotland through the day. colder air follows and across eastern areas of england, the showers that develop through the afternoon could turn out to be quite heavy with some thunderstorms as well. but with temperatures mainly between 14 and 18 degrees, it won't feel too bad if you're in the sunshine with colder out air working into scotland through the afternoon. temperatures across the north drop back to about seven degrees in aberdeen and stornoway and then monday night it turns cold enough for some patches of frost to develop across the north of the uk. that's because we'll have clear

skies thanks to this ridge of high pressure that's going to be building in across the country into tuesday. so tuesday should be a dry day for most of you. some spells of sunshine around, probably quite lengthy spells of sunshine, too. there'll be a few showers coming into the north of scotland, but otherwise most areas will keep sunny spells going into the afternoon with just a bit of cloud spreading across the skies for a time. early afternoon temperatures about 15 to 16 degrees quite widely, but colder again across the north of scotland. 0n into wednesday, a bit more cloud around in the sky, potentially a few patches of rain across the west, not really amounting to too much. but with the winds coming in from the east, around our eastern coast of scotland and england, it's here where temperatures would be pegged back at around ten to 13 degrees, a little bit milder further west, 14 to 16. but those temperatures are below average for may. and beyond that, the weather pattern looks like it's going to stay generally pretty unsettled with further showers or longer spells of rain.

live from london. this is bbc news. the sudanese army says a temporary truce has been agreed with rebels, despite heavy fighting in the capital khartoum. nurses in england have just started industrial action in a row over pay. patients are warned that emergency care wil be affected. with a just a week to go until the coronation, british subjects will be invited to swear allegiance to the king. the ceasefire in sudan, between two rival factions of the military, has been extended by another three days, to allow for more people to leave the country, and humanitarian aid to come in.
