to try to win the ball. female coach development allows students to pursue careers in the wider game. it's massive, it's all about opportunities. and if we can provide opportunities to coaches, to players, it will only benefit the game at the top. hello. coming up on the programme, arsenal beat newcastle in the premier league, to keep the pressure on leaders manchester city. world champion max verstappen charges through the field, after starting ninth on the grid, to win the miami grand prix. and the dominance of carlos alcaraz continues, as he defends his madrid open title. you are very welcome along to

the programme. arsenal have kept the premier league title race alive, after they beat newcastle, 2—0, and, with it, closed in to within a point of leaders, manchester city. martin odegaard scored in the first half, and a fabian schar own—goal wrapped up the victory. city have a game in hand, on top of their one—point lead, as the gunners continue to fight for a first league title in 19 years. newcastle's defeat stalls their charge towards champions league football next season, as their lead over fifth—placed liverpool remains three points. we have to continue we've done for ten months, we have to keep digging every single day. the demands are incredibly high. we are doing what we have to do, when football matches again, performing really well, competing really well, and three games to go and we are still there. we have performed so well through the majority of the season, the players have been incredible for us, the consistency has been there, the attitude and mentality has been there. now we have to go another
2:47 am
level, and that's always going to be hard, but that's the challenge we face in the premier league. i think, when you look at the four games we have, we will look at the crowd, we need to stay united. incredible support we've had all season, the noise today was there. we just needed to score and i think it would have taken off, so it would have helped us take off. but it wasn't to be. but we know we need the crowd on our next few games. manchester united could have moved above newcastle into third but they were beaten by a said benrahma goal at west ham. david de gea was at fault for the goal. david moyes side are now seven points clear of the relegation zone with three games left to play. i felt like clapping my own owners because there were times this year when they could have changed things, things might have gone against them, so i felt like applauding them for how well they were to stick with me at different times this season. i thought the crowd were fantastic, but no wonder, the way the players played tonight. they saw how the players performed, the character of the players showed, and we are talking about manchester united, who are challenging
2:48 am
the champions league, and we put on a really good show. i can't blame my team. they put all the effort in they had in this moment, and as i said, from christmas on, we play every three days. you see it in the second half, we played below our standards, we couldn't bounce back. now we have to reset and get the energy. tottenham have condemned the alleged racist abuse directed towards son heung—min, during their home win against crystal palace on saturday. posts on social media appear to show a man in the away end making a gesture at the south korea forward. crystal palce have said that evidence has been passed to the police, and that when the person is identified, they'll face a club ban. to germany now, and in the bundesliga, borussia dortmund arejust a point behind leaders bayern munich after thrashing wolfsburg, 6—0. karim adeyemi score a hat—trick, and there were two forjude
2:49 am
bellingham. this is the bundesliga and it will be difficult in over three games for us, it will be difficult in all the games for bayern munich, because we are all playing against teams that are not done yet. they are fighting for their own season goals, but in the end, it is not our topic. our topic is just to increase our performances, and to make sure that the possibility to win all the three games is as high as possible. then, by the end of the season, we'll see how far we go. there was a party mood in naples, with napoli playing in front of their home fans for the first time since they won the serie a title. fans let off fireworks and flares in the jammed streets around the stadium and there were joyous scenes inside the ground — named after their icon diego maradona on a sunny day in southern italy. fittingly napoli beat fiorentina 1—0. — victor osimhen with the goal. there were more celebrations back in the uk, as celtic secured the scottish premiership title for
2:50 am
the second year in a row. a 2—0 win over hearts means they can secure a fifth treble in just seven seasons, if they win the scottish cup in june. red bull's max verstappen showed his class and carved through the field to win the miami grand prix, after starting ninth place on the grid. world champion verstappen beat team—mate sergio perez, who started on pole. the defeat for perez could raise serious questions about his claims to be able to challenge verstappen for the title. fernando alonso continued his superb season for aston martin to take his fourth podium finish in five races. george russell was fourth for mercedes. it was a good race, i mean, i stayed out of trouble in the beginning, and then just had a clean race, picked the cars off, one by one, and then i could stay out really long on the hard
2:51 am
tyres, and that's where we, i think, made the difference today. and then a good little battle with cheiko at the end. we all kept it clean and that's most important. great win today. home favourite carlos alcaraz won the madrid open, becoming only the second man to defend his title, after rafa nadal. it took three sets, but the 20—year—old triumphed, 6—4, 3—6, 6—3, over jay—lennard struff of germany. it's his fourth trophy this season and comes just after he was victorious in the barcelona open last month. alacaraz wins the tournament as world number two, but will overtake novak djokovic in first place simply by competing at the italian open next week. he'll go into the french open later in may as a strong favourite. sometimes, i couldn't play my game, just waiting for my chances, and in the second set, i had a lot of chances to break his serve. i did not take it, so it was tough for me to lose the second set, but i told myself that i had to be positive all the time. it was going to hurt my chances and try to take it. i did in the first set.
2:52 am
meanwhile, britain's andy murray has won his first title in nearly four years, beating tommy paul in the final of the atp challenger event in france. murray came back from a set down against the american top seed for his first title on clay, since he won in rome in 2016. jonathan milan took his first grand tour stage victory on day two of the giro d'italia. there was a heavy crash, around four kilometres from the end of the race, which meant britain's mark cavendish was unable to complete the stage, but is still in the race. milan — who rides for the bahrain victorious team — edged home, david dekker came second. remco ayvenerpool from belgium holds a 22—second overall lead. dutch rider demi vollering won the last stage of the la vuelta femenina in a foggy northern spain, but it wasn't enough to clinch the title. it was her compatriot annemiek
2:53 am
van vleuten who just edged it. she finished third on the day, but that was enough to clinch the overall lead byjust nine seconds. it was the 40—year—old's third consecutive victory in the race. unbelievable. i kept on fighting till the end. i didn't have the best legs. i felt already a bit on the climb that i didn't have my best day, may be also a bit the effort of yesterday. i never, ever give up, so i felt like i need to keep on pushing, keep on pushing, for sure, they also get tired, and in the end it was close. but, yeah, amazing team job again there today, so this vuelita win is a win for movistar team. now cricket, and there was an extraordinary end to the ipl match between sunrisers hyderabad and rajastahn royals injaipur. the royals thought they'd won, when sunrisers�* abdul samad was caught off the last ball of the innings.
2:54 am
royals bowler sandeep sharma was delivered a no—ball though, and samad then hit the extra ball — or �*free hit�* — for six to seal a remarkable win. if i tell you right now that we were positive, you might not believe it, you may think i'm just making it up, but actually the conversation in the middle was that it is a good pitch, it's a really nice pitch, the ball is going onto the bat, there was much happening. we genuinely believed that it was attainable. but it is easy for me to say it now, you may take it, you may not take it, but that's up to you, but we genuine believed it would pay the spinners well it was a score that we could get back. gujarat titans are all but through to the playoffs after beating lucknow super giants by 56—runs. shubman gill hit an unbeaten 94 for gujarat and the super giants got nowhere near their target of 228. sometimes in t20, 220, 240 becomes very less, but we have to be fully focused on giving that 100% effort, that was the kind of discussion
2:55 am
we have been coming to the bowling. the other team had it in the mind that we are different, 180, 190 or something like that. as we have that in ind i thought as we have that in mind i thought we would have it in mind. they would just be more relaxed but it was more about doing the basics right, and bowling in the right areas, yeah. new zealand have salavaged some pride, as they won the fifth and final odi in the series against pakistan, to lose 4—1 overall. new zealand had set pakistan target of 300 with will young making 87. the target proved too much in the end, with rachin ravindra and henry shipley taking three wickets each. pakistan were all out for 252, with new zealand winning by 47 runs. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. this

hello, there. looking at the weather over the coronation weekend, i think it's fair to say we've had a real mixed bag, starting on saturday with the coronation itself, where, in london, we had, of course, rain. it wasn't that heavy — we only had five millimetres — but it was relentless, lasting for about nine hours, so very damp weather. a different story for sunday, many of us dry with some sunshine coming through, and it was the warmest day of the year so far, with highs of 21.3. but how warm is that? well, if we look at the 7th of may, in previous years, up to that date, we've had much warmer spells. for example, back in 2018, temperatures had already reached 29 degrees at this time of the year. so, 21, absolutely nothing special for early may. now, on the satellite picture, what we're looking at here
2:57 am
is this stripe of cloud, which is our next band of heavy rain that's going to be moving through. indeed, it's already making inroads in across northern ireland, moving its way eastwards into scotland. england, in the west, and wales also, having a wet start to your bank holiday monday. it will be quite mild, though, temperatures about ten to 12 celsius for many of us, and then, through monday, well, you might well start off with a bit of sunshine across east anglia and the southeast of england, but this band of rain is on its way. the rain, quite heavy at times, perhaps with a bit of thunder mixed in, and even as we start to see some brighter weather moving in to the north west later on, there'll be lots of heavy showers, particularly for northern ireland, with a number of thunderstorms here. but those storms are also likely to be working to west scotland, as well. where we do see a bit of may sunshine, temperatures still into the high teens, so it still won't feel too bad. tuesday, it starts quite cloudy. there'll be some sunshine comes through for a time, but then big showers. northern ireland, wales and southern counties of england quite likely to see some big thunderstorms, and some of those will have hail mixed in with them, as well. still, there will be some places that dodge the downpours, and with
2:58 am
temperatures still into the upper teens, it won't feel too bad, if you're out and about. wednesday sees an occlusion, bringing some more general rain to west scotland and northern ireland. it's not the only place that will see rain, though, because, after a fine start across england and wales, showers will move from west to east, and, again, they're likely to be heavy, with some hail and thunder mixed in once again. temperatures still pretty much at best reaching the upper teens. thursday, we see further showers, particularly concentrated across england and wales. something a bit brighterfor scotland and northern ireland, but as you can see from the outlook, we are expecting it to stay pretty unsettled.
