welcome to the programme. we're starting with football and it was a record breaking day for erling haaland as manchester city went back on top of the premier league. they beat fulham 2—1. haaland scoring his 50th goal of the season in all competitions — a stunning achievement and a record that has stood for over 90 years. he also equalled the record for goals in a premier league season with 34. it's the first time city have topped the table since february. they're a point ahead of arsenal who play midweek and they still have a game in hand. three days, four days, it is a lot, but we knew that after beating them at home, knowing that winning this type of game today was really, really important and the players behaved amazingly. on tuesday, arsenal is going to play. normally at home is strong but it is one game at hand and then after that we will be ok. in the first minute of the match against city, it is difficult. we start to have a little bit more balance within the game as well. in some moments, we push them back, but we were not able

to create many chances, but we are competitive. we marched and tried until the last minute, in the first minute of the match against city, it is difficult. we start to have a little bit more balance within the game as well. in some moments, we push them back, but we were not able to create many chances, but we are competitive. we marched and tried until the last minute, manchester united gave their champions league hopes a boost with a 1—0 win over aston villa, who'd gone unbeaten in 10 matches. a 100th league goal from bruno fernandes was all united needed to secure the three points in a victory that could have been 2 or 3—0. they're now fourth in the table, well ahead of liverpool and with a game in hand over newcastle above them. villa remain seventh in their hunt for europe. before that victory, manchester united fans held
2:47 am
a protest outside the club and through the streets of the city, with banners opposing the continued glazer ownership. 0ur bbc football reporter simon stone has more. basically, the protest lasted for 2.5 hours and started with hundreds of fans meeting in manchester city centre, letting off flares, chanting against the current ownership, and then the numbers swelled as the protest march continued from the city centre to old trafford, 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 director's entrance, and carried on making a noisy protest against the current ownership of the football club. in the late kick—off, there was an incredible finish to liverpool's victory over tottenham, with two goals in 99 seconds providing a dramatic end to what had already been a thriller.
2:48 am
spurs put in yet another poor first half performance, going 3—0 behind within15 minutes. harry kane started a remarkable comeback before half time which richarlison finished with a 93rd—minute header to make it 3—3. but a lapse of concentration brought spurs' celebrations to an abrupt end when diogo jota fired home under two minutes later. the win means liverpool sit fifth, two points above tottenham in sixth, as they hope for elite european football. thank god diogo saved us, and that feels now great, but from a development point of view, a lot of things to love about the game and a lot of things not to like, and that is my life, but i like the good parts that

much that my feeling is we can sort the other stuff — we can sort, and what we have to do, and then let's keep going. a great quote there from jurgen klopp. newcastle's goalscoring form continued with a 3—1 win over southampton to strengthen their third place position in the table. they were 1—0 down at half time but a brace from callum wilson and an own goalfrom theo walcott turned their fortunes around. champions league football is edging closer for newcastle, while for southampton, it's championship relegation growing bigger on the horizon. bournemouth on the other hand look to have escaped relegation with an impressive 4—1 win over leeds. two goals in four minutes from jefferson lerma set the tone for the rest of the game. bournemouth are 13th while leeds are just a point from danger. in scotland the fifth old firm derby, this time in the scottish cup semi—final, ended in victory for celtic to set—up a meeting with inverness caledonian thistle in the final. ajota headerjust before half time was enough to secure
2:50 am
the win over holders' rangers. celtic are heavy favourites when the final is played on 3 june and they're still on for an 8th domestic treble. really proud of the group. you know, we had to earn it today, which you should in a semi—final, and we kind of knew what was at stake, and the rangers, kind of this was their last opportunity to sort of gain some success as well, so we knew it was going to require all the facets of our game, and i thought we did that. yeah, bitterly disappointed. fine margins will generally decide big games, and, yep, in big games you can't have sort of the amount of play that we had and the opportunities we had and make a mistake and get away with it. in italy, napoli's wait for a first serie a title since 1990 goes on. these streets should have been filled with celebration this afternoon with three points from a home game against mid—table salernitana looking a formality when they took the lead after the hour mark. cue smoke flares and jubilation from fans both inside and outside the stadium, but they were silenced after conceding an equaliser just six minutes from time. sofia bettiza was there.
2:51 am
naples was poised for an epic celebration today. all day long, this felt like one big street party. people were singing, dancing, and even crying. there is a mural of diego maradona just a few streets away, and first thing in the morning lots of napoli fans gathered there, and everybody was so certain that it was only a matter of hours before they would become champions. people here really feel that they deserve this win. now, it is not over yet. napoli have one chance, one more chance to win the title next thursday when they play against udinese, and everybody here will be watching that game. there were more mixed fortunes for league leaders across europe today.

it really was very special, that 147. sergio perez won the azerbaijan grand prix with the safety car providing an opportunity to overtake teammate max verstappen and clinch the victory. ferrari's charles leclerc had started in pole position but before long, perez and verstappen had forged ahead. then perez took advantage of a safety car to make a pitstop without losing any time, and he stayed at least a second ahead for the remainder of the race. there was a hairy moment at the end when some photographers forgot there were still cars coming into the pitlane. it could have been a serious incident and the f1 authorities are making changes to avoid it ever happening again. third place went to leclec — ferraris�* first podium this season. and verstappen was second, nowjust six points ahead of perez at the top of the championship. britain's adam yates has won the tour de romandie. after taking yesterday's penultimate stage in the swiss alps, the briton had 19 seconds in hand over

there is much more on our website. but from me and the rest of the team, it is goodbye. hello. sunday brought some pretty warm weather in parts of the uk, but it also brought some really heavy downpours. there are some further showers in the forecast for bank holiday monday, but equally some spells of sunshine. many of us will again feel relatively warm, particularly in the sunshine. but northern parts, particularly scotland, will start to turn rather chilly because of this cold front. now, it doesn't look like much here on the chart. it's just going to bring some extra clouds, a little bit of rain. but behind it, it will introduce some chilly air, particularly across parts of scotland. most of us, though, starting monday morning on a mild note,
2:56 am
bit of showery rain across some eastern parts of england. across england and wales, we are going to see some spells of sunshine, scattered showers which could be heavy and thundery, particularly from east wales eastwards, west wales, the south west of england, not seeing too many showers. northern ireland brightening up through the afternoon with some spells of sunshine. most of us temperatures between 1a and 17 degrees. but through the afternoon, those temperatures dropping across the northern half of scotland. behind our weather front, some cloud, the odd spot of rain, that frontal system sinking further southwards as we go through monday night. not much more than a band of cloud, really, but to the north of it, it is going to be quite a chilly start to tuesday. we could well see a touch of frost across some parts of the highlands. so for tuesday morning, a rather chilly start. for many, this band of cloud likely to be left across the uk. maybe the odd spot of rain, the odd shower breaking out. but most places, i think, will be dry and we should see some spells of sunshine, but a little on the cool side across northern scotland and down into the eastern side of england, ten to 12 degrees
2:57 am
even further south and west, not as warm as it has been. now, on wednesday, a weak front is likely to bring a bit of patchy rain through northern ireland and western scotland. some showers may start to develop down towards the south as the winds begin to pick up through the day. temperatures generally between ten and 16 degrees. as we head towards the end of the week, we will see frontal systems squashing in from the southwest, but through the week, a lot of dry weather for a time through tuesday into wednesday, but then turning more unsettled.
