a day after his crash at the giro d'italia, britain's mark cavendish was hoping to be back in the hunt for victory on stage three. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. the final day of the championship season did not disappoint, with comebacks, and setbacks, and spectacular second half goals that made it an afternoon to remember. not all fans will be happy at the moment, but supporters of the two sides that snatched a playoff place will be delighted, as imran sidat reports. it was crunched as the battle for the last two it was crunched as the battle for the last two championship it was crunched as the battle for the last two championship play places was to be decided. bleat blackburn robbers and they would be there. and they got off to the
6:32 pm
perfect start. duncan putting them ahead inside ten minutes. west brom needed to win and hope for favours out where they were doing their bit as they went ahead at swansea. blocked by a raucous crowd at the den, only burke put them through one up den, only burke put them through one up before half—time and firmly in control. but in the championship, things are rarely that straightforward. blackburn came storming back after the break as costello reduced the deficit. if they faulted a win for sunderland which either make the top six. a stunning strike at preston. swansea for bakker to west brom, sunderland needed another blackburn both to move into the playoff spots. the news filtered through is tony no brace men were out three new winners in the end, and now waiting on the bench at the den. one more would
6:33 pm
still see them make it, but on the counter, they completed a remarkable comeback, diaz got her second as well as themselves just missed out on the goal difference to him sunderland six spot. coventry have had their fair share of off field problems in recent years, but adroit middlesbrough sealed their spot as they clinched it 50. the drama of they clinched it 50. the drama of the playoffs or weight, but the tantalising prospect of the premier leaguejust three games tantalising prospect of the premier league just three games away from one side. our football reporter sanny rudravajhala has been across all the matches for the bbc�*s squad goals this afternoon and joins me now. there has to be some heartbreak. every championship final day inevitably seems to have that, especially when it comes to the playoff places. delight for coventry and sunderland but how frustrated will millwall be tonight? the atmosphere of the fans was just
6:34 pm
amazing. you've got headphones in, i couldn't hear the producer because there was so much noise from the millwall fan. they were absolutely delighted. it felt like they would make it into the playoffs, today that capitulation, they must be so disappointed in his players. and the fans just absolutely devastated from 31 up to lose 43, it's just remarkable turnaround for a side that looks really promising and that playoff position. contrast that were sunderland, who havejust been super. they managed to get that, coming in august, and have been on this brilliant run as well. it's just amazing stuff. you think about some of the players they've got on loan from manchester united, 13 goals this season. and jack clark, 22 years old, moved from lease. he's ended up going off the rails of it, coming to sunderland. really exciting side, and military has got them firing at the perfect time. certainly has. and that is how the
6:35 pm
playoff positions look. middle spoke, coventry, and sunderland. and we have to mention burnley as well. we knew that they were champions but they finally got their hands on that trophy today. they finally got their hands on that trephy today-— trophy today. hundred one points, three mill win _ trophy today. hundred one points, three mill win against _ trophy today. hundred one points, three mill win against carter. - trophy today. hundred one points, three mill win against carter. 1], i three mill win against carter. jj, investing in the club which they are investing in the club which they are in the stands. and it is all about vincent company, five year deal, first time as a manager in england. great moments for burnley. they will be in the paralegal next season. i've be in the paralegal next season. l'v ., ., be in the paralegal next season. |'v ., ., ., " be in the paralegal next season. i've gotta talk about northampton town as well. _ i've gotta talk about northampton town as well, and _ i've gotta talk about northampton town as well, and the _ i've gotta talk about northampton town as well, and the heartbreak| town as well, and the heartbreak they had last season, but those great scenes today.— they had last season, but those great scenes today. yeah, so this time last year. — great scenes today. yeah, so this time last year, we _ great scenes today. yeah, so this time last year, we both _ great scenes today. yeah, so this time last year, we both were - great scenes today. yeah, so this time last year, we both were on | great scenes today. yeah, so this i time last year, we both were on the soap they're talking about northampton sound. they threw away a five goal to get out of it. this time around, sam hoskins, 22nd goal of the season, absolutely perfect. northampton, pretty in pink today. managed to get the win and that took
6:36 pm
them into that final automatic promotion spot. they finished third of the table and they get there, playoff picture now. all in this mix now, and experian exciting times. but for northampton fans, they are just delighted. they are voting the playoffs this time around. heartbreak there for mansfield town as well. will let you get to well deserved rest. thank you. next to a party in plymouth — argyle are celebrating promotion from league one to the championship. they were last there in 2010 when administration and back to back relegations followed. today, the green army was out in force to celebrate one of the most memorable seasons in the club's history. their 3—1 win at port vale ensured they finished with 101 points and their first title in 19 years. andy birkett�*s been following the celebrations. this was a victory parade with the difference in britain's ocean city. the argo sport began theirjourney
6:37 pm
before taking the more traditional role of transport, go to the crowd where tens of thousands of fans have come here to celebrate with them. the season has really made people sit up and take notice because they have come been competing against teams who have all had a pedigree in the properly and would've been working with much bigger budgets to start the season. we have the promotion of the bag last weekend, and they win yesterday the league i and they win yesterday the league 1 title. and gave these guys another reason to come out celebrate. we know how much it means to them, to see them _ know how much it means to them, to see them all— know how much it means to them, to see them all throughout the season, we really— see them all throughout the season, we really do know what it means to them _ we really do know what it means to them i'm — we really do know what it means to them. i'mjust so we really do know what it means to them. i'm just so happy that we could _ them. i'm just so happy that we could give — them. i'm just so happy that we could give them not. it them. i'm just so happy that we could give them not.— them. i'm just so happy that we could give them not. it has been extraordinary. we _ could give them not. it has been extraordinary. we expected - could give them not. it has been extraordinary. we expected a i extraordinary. we expected a turnabout but was best terrible weather, with bank holiday, people had other things to do, but the terminal in the city at our home park hasjust been terminal in the city at our home park has just been absolutely wonderful. i'm so grateful that everybody came out.—

6:39 pm
games that will impact the top and bottom half of the table today. what a potential story for everton. everton can move out of the bottom three, but that means winning at brighton who still have hopes of finishing in the top four. latest score, abdoulaye doucoure with two goals, the first after a minute. jason steele own goal. southampton, rooted the bottom, are running out of chances to survive. they play at nottingham forest who like everton start the day in the bottom three but know victory can move them out of the relegation zone. is this finally the season that manchester city win the trophy they've been craving more than any other? the champions league remains the only major piece of silverware that pep guardiola hasn't won in his time at the club. standing in their way are the european champions real madrid. the first leg of their semi final is a little over 2a hours away
6:40 pm
and olly foster is in madrid for us. if anyone can stop city and guardiola, it's carlo ancellotti who's been speaking this afternoon. where they did at 12 months ago. i was here for that extraordinary second leg one rail were down and out with a couple of late goals from that and they were into the final and they won against liverpool. what is different about this city, it's early holland incident, because he wasn't a part of that team 12 months ago. he says look at my church will be fit. that is good news for real. and asked about holland, he said that we are notjust concentrating on stopping holland, because it is this whole city team that is unstoppable. but we think that we can be competitive and give them an even match. well, you can probably hearin even match. well, you can probably hear in the background quite a few city fans made their way to the spanish capital already. wayne and
6:41 pm

6:44 pm
but in the women's super league, the club saw their hopes of winning the title all but ended at the weekend. things are tight at the top and bottom, going into what could be a defining week of midweek games with chelsea playing leicester and brighton against arsenal. our reporterjo currie has more. of the weekend it's more twists it was the same again this weekend. you've got four teams notjust tracing the tied up at three european football spots as well. and of those four teams some had better weekends than others. arsenal kick things off on friday with a 1—1 win over lester, that keeps their title hopes alive. and yesterday, manchester united, they got a three mill win over spurs. that keeps them at the top of the table. they are one of the favourite for the title. however, chelsea very much have the title in their own hands. and m chelsea, because the games in hanover have, if they were in all their games between now and the end of the season, the title as they are. and yesterday they absolutely smashed everton 7— nil. and even if
6:45 pm
chelsea don't win all their games between now and the season they can still win the title and goal difference will be massive. that result could still prove to be huge. the team that didn't do quite so well with manchester city. they lost to want to liverpool. that more or less puts the title hopes, kills them off, really, but also it puts into doubt the potential that the european football spot as well. good result for liverpool. _ european football spot as well. good result for liverpool. if _ european football spot as well. good result for liverpool. if it _ european football spot as well. good result for liverpool. if it is _ european football spot as well. good result for liverpool. if it is tied up result for liverpool. if it is tied up at top and not title race, so as the flight for survival. the up at top and not title race, so as the flight for survival.— the flight for survival. the title looks very _ the flight for survival. the title looks very much _ the flight for survival. the title looks very much like _ the flight for survival. the title looks very much like it's - the flight for survival. the title looks very much like it's going | the flight for survival. the title i looks very much like it's going to go down the fight for survival will go down the fight for survival will go into relegation. it looks like it's going to go down for the final day as well. again, we've got four teams, fighting out, that one relegation spot. just to go through the results,, bryson with a team that really got the result. that i— to win over west ham. it doesn't make them dramatically safe but it certainly goes a long way to providing a bit more security. we know that lester lost one notable arsenal on friday night, reading, a
6:46 pm
team are very much looking in trouble. they are bottom of the table. they were beaten five nil at home by —— book one win can put you out of the relegation zone. let's just see what happens between now and the end of the season.- just see what happens between now and the end of the season. thanks to john curry there- _ time now for some of the day's other sport stories... american businessman tom wagner has agreed to buy a significant stake in birmingham city, subject to approval by the football league. he'll take control of more than 45% of the club and take ownership of the stadium. it's known as one of the most intense derbies in world football. tensions once again reached fever pitch between boca junior and river plate. river won it with a 93rd minute penalty and shortly after a huge brawl broke out — needing stewards and even riot police to split the teams up. six players in total were sent off. and in the nba playoffs, james harden was the key man for philidelphia in their 116—115 win over the boston celtics. he scored 42 points in total —
6:47 pm
including the score to send the game into overtime. he then scored a 3—pointer with 18 seconds of overtime remaining. it levels the best—of—7 series at two a piece. geraint thomas remains the leading british rider after stage three of the giro d'italia. he and his compatriot. and ineos grenadiers teammate tayo gaygan hart have both moved up a place to fifth and seventh overall. their aim was to make it safely to the finish. another british rider was hoping for more than that, as nick parrott reports. after escaping relatively unscathed, cavendish was hoping to be back in the hunt for stage three. at the intermediate cavendish was hoping to be back in the hunt for stage three. at the intermediate sprint, the britton eyedrop who he thought might be his rivals. but as the weather changed, so that the attitude of the writers who were aiming for overall victory. with around 25 miles to go, the incline increased, and so did the pace of the race. when conditions
6:48 pm
get slippery, the best place to avoid a crash is at the front. that left cavendish struggling to keep up with the pack. that's also where max patterson found himself. but the day managed to haul himself back into contention for the final run into murphy in southern italy. the former world champion went wheel to wheel with michael matthews, but it was the australian who had the most left in his trunk. and not far behind him is billjim's, hugh has extended his overall lead to 32 seconds. next tonight — britain's ros canter produced the biggest winning margin in elite eventing history, to win the badminton horse trials today. the former world champion, who finished second last year, triumphed aboard lordships graffalo. lizzie greenwood—hughes is there for us. will come at this years badminton horse trials will be mostly remembered for the wet weather and the subsequent mud which could have ended the whole event early, actually, if it wasn't for the
6:49 pm
coronation, which meant the cross run a day later when it was sunny. but as always, the sport here has been top class, from the grace and the position of the draw sergeant in the position of the draw sergeant in the first phase of the equestrian trials to the dramatic cross country where many failed by the wayside in just over a third of the field got round the whole course. so it was really torrential and really tall. then the tense finale of the show jumping. but it worked out to be a good yearfor great jumping. but it worked out to be a good year for great britain. this jumping. but it worked out to be a good yearfor great britain. this is a european championship year, the group watching closely to see who they put down on their list for those championships in the summer and there will be one name throughout the night will be top of the list and then there's this lady, ross cantor, congratulations, the champion this year. now you had actually in the end for fences, which is very unusual for the final jumping stage question mark but you do need them. you ran clear. what was going through your mind as you went into the reign of mac well. was going through your mind as you went into the reign of ma- went into the reign of mac well, i did hear in _ went into the reign of mac well, i did hear in the _ went into the reign of mac well, i did hear in the background, - went into the reign of mac well, i did hear in the background, you i went into the reign of mac well, i i did hear in the background, you can hear the groans from the crowd. but in the mind i told myself no, you still only got margin. so i was just

team, that is all now. goodbye. hello. we're going to see some warm sunshine in the next couple of days. but don't leave home without a mac or a brolly, because what the sunshine will do in the next few days is inject energy into quite an unstable atmosphere and we're going to see clouds like these scuttling across our skies, and some pretty heavy showers eventually developing, with hail and thunder at times. low pressure basically keeping the weather across the uk unsettled. as we go through the majority of this week, we've got a band of pretty heavy rain which will gradually pull clear of eastern england through the early part of tuesday, but following on from the west, some pretty intense showers out of northern ireland into northern england overnight, some heavier ones for the north—east of scotland.
6:57 pm
it is a very mild night to come — temperatures largely in double figures. we are sitting in some pretty warm air, but that's all part of the reason why things will become so thundery. we start the day with that rain across eastern counties of england. out of the way, i think mid—morning. then comes the sunshine. should feel pleasantly warm, just light winds. but by the afternoon we'll start to see the showers developing, in some areas they'll cluster together into longer spells of rain. some areas may stay dry altogether, but where the downpours do develop, they are likely to be pretty intense. 17—18 degrees as highs, but obviously cooler if you are caught in the showers. low pressure sets the tone for our weather throughout the majority of the week ahead. and occasionally we'll see showers coming across in these more organised bands. and what that will mean is for some areas, the spells of rain will be more relentless, more prolonged. some areas may well experience that relatively dry story. but i think by wednesday afternoon, there is a chance of seeing a shower just about anywhere, and some pretty heavy rain in a short space of time. definitely not to be ruled out.
6:58 pm
so obviously that can mean quite a lot of surface water and spray if you're travelling around. and it's a little cooler for wednesday, highs of 15 to 17 degrees. and there it is, low pressure still with us across the uk wednesday into thursday, it starts to become a slightly weaker affair, but actually, if anything, all lighter winds do is mean the showers don't move through quite so quickly. so if anything, perhaps on thursday, if you do find yourself in a downpour, you could be stuck with it for a slightly longer period of time. friday, it looks like we mayjust see a little ridge of high pressure heading our way and something drier to end the week.
