for the first time in four years after hammering local rivals espanyol 4—2. robert lewandowski's first—half double set them on their way. espanyol pulled two goals back in the second half to ensure it wasn't a total whitewash, but it's an unassailable iii—point lead for barca over arch—enemies real madrid, who look set for second place under carlo ancelotti. for barcelona manager xavi, he marked his first full season in charge with a title win, the second trophy to arrive at the camp nou this term. the barcelona squad were celebrating their title win when espanyol supporters stormed onto the pitch and ran at them, prompting the players to flee. they'd been dancing around in the centre—circle, relishing winning the title at the home of their local rivals, before things turned ugly. espanyol are in danger of a second relegation in four seasons. they're four points from safety.

meanwhile in england, manchester city are four points clear at the top of the english premier league for now after a 3—0 win at everton which keeps them firmly in control of the title race. ilkay gundogan was the star of the show, involved in all three of city's goals, including getting two himself and setting up erling haaland. the loss for everton leaves them looking nervously over their shoulders with two games remaining, hovering just one point above the relegation zone. pep guardiola's side, meanwhile, will be guaranteed their third title in a row with six points from their remaining games against chelsea, brighton and brentford. since minute one, we took the game in our hands and it was a brilliant performance for us. so in the end of the season, we come here to do it. so, one more game. we need two more victories — three more games, two more victories — to be champion. no lack of spirit, there wasn't today. just played a top side and they did what they did. we kept working, we kept tirelessly working, actually, trying to get the details right. we changed the shape

in the second half. we tried to play, we tried to affect it still. so the mentality is right. we've got to go into the next two games with that clear mind, like we have been doing the last few games. arsenal's fading title hopes were dealt a devastating blow after losing 3—0 to brighton to leave leaders manchester city one win from a fifth premier league title in six seasons. the gunners needed to respond after city's win over everton but were handed a heavy defeat, meaning even if they defeat nottingham forest at the city ground on saturday, it will be unlikely to be enough to stop pep guardiola's side winning the title. we knew the challenge that we had today. it wasn't very different to the one we had at newcastle. and a week ago, i was standing here and feeling very proud of the team and what we did. and today, we have to apologise. we have to apologise to our people, look in the mirror and digest, first of all, individually what we've done today and move on very quickly, because we don't want to keep

that feeling for a long time. arsenal are still a big, big team, but i think we deserved to win because we played better. it's not enough to qualify for europa league, we know very well, and now we start tuesday to prepare the next game. brentford have their first top—half finish in the top flight since 1938 — and they're still in the hunt for european football after a 2—0 win over west ham. thomas frank's side have had another impressive season, and west ham perhaps had their eye on their europa conference league semifinal second leg. brentford are up to ninth. i think the first one was high pressure. we won it high and had a very quick transition and produced a very good goal. and i think the long throw

thing paid off again. but besides that, i think we had five, six, seven big chances and five, six, seven good opportunities, so i think you can't discuss anything today. feyenoord won the dutch league title for the 16th time in their history, although their first for six years, following a comfortable 3—0 win over go ahead eagles. in front of their own supporters in rotterdam, feyenoord were victorious. nearest challengers psv can't catch them with only two games left. there were jubilant celebrations at the final whistle and head coach arne slot was thrown into the air by his players. ajax's match against groninegen was abandoned after home supporters invaded the pitch to protest against the club's ownership. supporters made their way on to the pitch afterjust ten minutes, to protest the club's relegation from the dutch eredivisie. it is the second time this season that groningen have had a game called off due

to the behaviour of fans. next to wembley, where nearly 80,000 people watched chelsea win their third fa cup final in a row. that's a world record crowd for a women's domestic game. 0ur correspondent katie gornall was there. well, we've talked a lot about milestones recently in women's football, and there was another one here today, as more than 77,000 fans — a world record for a women's domestic match — gathered here to watch the fa cup final between chelsea and manchester united. it was a special atmosphere and a significant day for united, who were playing in their first major final since reforming as a professional set up around five years ago. and there was no sense that they were overawed by the occasion at all, farfrom it, as leah galton thought she'd put united ahead after only 20 seconds, only for the flag to go up for offside. and they were the better team throughout most of the first half, chelsea not really at their very best. but chelsea are serial winners, and such is the depth of their squad that they were able to call on pernille harderfrom the bench.

and it was her introduction in the second half that really did change everything. she set up sam kerr for the winning goal, sam kerr scoring herfifth goal in three consecutive fa cup finals. she's never been to wembley and not come away with a trophy. it's really quite remarkable. united will be hurting from this, but they know now they really need to pick themselves up and refocus on what is a thrilling wsl title race. united lead chelsea byjust a point, but chelsea have a game in hand, and they will be going all out for the double. katie gornall there. it's chelsea's fifth fa cup title, the latest in a growing list of achievements by emma hayes' side. first half, i think it was there to be won for man united. we looked sluggish, we turned the ball over, slow to do almost anything we'd set out to do. so half—time came, a moment for us to reset, and then the finishers came

from the bench, and i thought the second half, that's where we won the game. i thought man united were unbelievable today, but i want to say that this is for the fans of chelsea football club today. we've had a tough year and this is for all the chelsea fans. tennis now. and britain's cameron norrie will play novak djokovic in the last 16 of the italian open. he beat marton fucsovics in rome. the world number one djokovic, meanwhile, overcame grigor dimitrov, although it took him three sets after a wobble in the second, during which dimitrov win four games in a row. the serbian criticised the playing surface, suggesting they're using it too much ahead of the tournament. the women's world number one iga swiatek is bidding for her third straight rome title and breezed into the last i6 — ukraine's lesia tsurenko her latest victim, 6—2, 6—0. there's another ban for basketball starja morant, who's once again suspended from all activities with the memphis grizzlies after he was seen brandishing a gun on social media for the second time in two months. morant was seen on instagram holding a pistol. back in march, he was caught holding a gun in a video that

sparked a police investigation and an eight—game suspension by the nba. cricket now, and joe root was out for ten in his first indian premier league innings as rajasthan royals were thrashed by 112 runs by royal challengers bangalore, severely damaging their chances of reaching the play—offs with one match remaining. root was trapped lbw after 15 balls. it came amid a dismal royals batting effort, including the loss of england'sjos buttler for a duck, as they were bowled out for 59 in just over ten overs. in reply, faf du plessis and glenn maxwell hit 505 in rcb's 171-5. in the other game in the ipl, kolkata knight riders beat the chennai super kings by six wickets. ms dhoni's decision to drop down the order backfired as chennai lost wickets at regular intervals to be

restricted to a modest 144—6. rinku singh made 5a for kolkata while aj—inkya rahane�*s 57 helped them towards their chase for a third ipl title. and just some cycling for you now. geraint thomas is now the leader of giro d'italia after remco evenepoel had to leave the tour following a positive covid test. before he realised, though, evenopoel somehow managed to win the stage 9 time trial, edging out thomas by under a second on the 35 kilometre test in cesena. however, hours later, after the world champion had donned the overall leader's jersey, news filtered through that he'd been forced to leave the race. the 23—year—old was one of the favourites for victory at the grand tour. that's it from me. as always, there's much more on our website, bbc.com/sport. but from me and the team, it's goodnight.

hello. the weather over the weekend varied quite a bit from day to day, sunnier moments, cloudier moments, but we still managed to reach 22 celsius in kew gardens, making it the warm spot. how about monday? sunny spells in the forecast, scattered showers, too, but we're focusing on the dry weather, and indeed, it will be a mostly dry day for many of us. now, on the satellite picture, there is a line of cloud across the uk, that is a weather front, it's been bringing rain. and early in the morning, it is going to be raining across east anglia, the south east and central southern england as this weather front gradually moves towards the east. but behind it, a large area of high pressure is building in, and that means settled weather for many of us. so here's the forecast through the early hours. you can see where the cloud and the rain is. but even once the weather front clears away, still a few showers behind it. it will be on the nippy side across some

parts of the country. temperatures in glasgow and edinburgh around 4 celsius, but in the southeast, around 10 celsius. so early in the morning, there will be some cloud and rain in the southeast. eventually that weather front clears away, and then it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers maybe in northern ireland, scotland, northern england and further east as well. the temperatures pretty disappointing for this time in may, typically around about 13—14 celsius. and it will actually be quite chilly along the north sea coast, where we'll have a keen breeze out of the north—northwest. high pressure very close by on tuesday. in fact, light winds expected across many western areas. it'll feel a little bit warmer. further north, though, showers are expected across scotland, northern england, certainly into yorkshire. temperatures recovering somewhat, especially where the winds are lighter out towards the west, perhaps as high as 17 celsius in belfast and also in cardiff. and then that high pressure is pretty much on top of us. midweek, we've light winds, but i think variable amounts of cloud. now, if we look at the air mass

map, and that's the temperature of the atmosphere, you can see these yellow colours and actually a drift of warmer weather from the south. so, yes, temperatures will recover a little bit as we head towards the end of the week. in fact, that's reflected in the forecast here until friday. you can see we're sort of generally in the high teens towards the end of the week. and from the weather icons, you can gather it is going to be a mostly dry week as well. bye— bye.

live from washington. this is bbc news. turkey's presidential election on a knife edge — final results are yet to be announced in a vote that could decide the country's political future. the country is split between these two men — president recep tayyip erdogan and challenger kemal kilicdaroglu. both say they would accept a potential run—off vote. and a potential turning point in thailand, as preliminary election results there show opposition parties surging ahead of the military—backed government. hello, i'm helena humphrey.
