to the brink of safety. nottingham forest have the lead. as things stand, the premier league title is heading back to manchester city. staying with the premier league, erik ten haag is one point away from bringing champions league football back to manchester united after they won 1—0 at bournmouth. casemiro's stunning overhead kick early in the first half was the difference. united just need to avoid defeat to chelsea or fulham in their final two games at old trafford to finish in the top four. the manager understandably pleased with his side's progress. going into this game, we produced the second goal commit makes life much easier. but that is how we are. i think this team, it is not always easy scoring goals, but i think our

performance was very good. we have to do the job. it's a great team. compliments to the team. they stay composed, calm, they did theirjob, winning games. united's task was made easier today by liverpool — who only avoided defeat to aston villa because of this man getting a hug. bobby firmino, in his final game at anfield before he leaves the club, scored an 89th minute equaliser against aston villa. the i all draw means liverpool remain three points off the top four with one game to go. villa stay seventh. the season we played is a season where _ the season we played is a season where you — the season we played is a season where you qualify for the league rather— where you qualify for the league rather than the champions they commit — rather than the champions they commit to be 100% honest. for so long commit didn't look like we even. _ long commit didn't look like we even. we — long commit didn't look like we even, we couldn't even hear the sound _ even, we couldn't even hear the sound of— even, we couldn't even hear the sound of the champions league. that's_ sound of the champions league. that's how— sound of the champions league. that's how far away we wear. but like i _ that's how far away we wear. but like i said. — that's how far away we wear. but like i said, we made it quite exciting _ like i said, we made it quite exciting in the end, and we deserve to go— exciting in the end, and we deserve to go to _ exciting in the end, and we deserve to go to the — exciting in the end, and we deserve to go to the european league. for me. that's — to go to the european league. for me, that's absolutely fine. i love the competition as well. didn't play it as often — the competition as well. didn't play it as often as the champions league, but it— it as often as the champions league, but it is— it as often as the champions league, but it is absolutely fine. so let's

see what — but it is absolutely fine. so let's see what we can do. liverpool looking set perfect. your ability, notjust frustration liverpool looking set perfect. your ability, not just frustration for them today. tottenham's european hopes for next season faded further as they were beaten in their final home game of the season by brentford. the 3—1 win guarantees a top ten finish for the visitors. patrick geary was watching. one day tottenham may build harry kane a statue. for now, this is his monument. if they wish they can keep him there forever. the future of the real thing is more movable. spurs fans have long learnt to treasure every moment. kane! 28 league goals now. none of his team—mates come close. moves like this have been so rare. emerson royal so close to a second. brentford are missing their kane. star striker ivan toney is beginning an eight—month ban for breaking betting rules, so others must step up. bryan mbeumo showed the way. his colleagues took notice. barely ten minutes later they looked for him again. 2—1 to brentford.

mbeumo had transformed the game and with it the mood. for spurs it was about to get worse. 0llie skipp lost it. before long, yoane wissa finished it. that's going to be the winner, surely. brentford keep rising. tottenham are saying sad goodbyes to a sorry season. patrick gearey, bbc news. here are the thoughts of both managers. first tottenham's interim boss ryan mason who was asked for his thoughts on how his players performed. before the game today, the one at aston villa last week. there is only one way to act. if we can't do it, that is disappointing. is there still hope you will qualify for europe? i am not sure, it is out of our hands now so we have to see what other teams do and stay focussed on trying to get a result at leeds. the second half as may be the best

away _ the second half as may be the best away haif _ the second half as may be the best away half performance of the season, we were _ away half performance of the season, we were very good with the ball. the way we _ we were very good with the ball. the way we were very good under high pressure. — way we were very good under high pressure, aggressive, scored two fantestic— pressure, aggressive, scored two fantastic goals, we press it high and try— fantastic goals, we press it high and try to — fantastic goals, we press it high and try to win, we wanted to one, and try to win, we wanted to one, and of— and try to win, we wanted to one, and of chris— and try to win, we wanted to one, and of chris we had to dig in and the last— and of chris we had to dig in and the last ten, playing against a fantestic— the last ten, playing against a fantastic team. just fantastic. there was late drama at molinuex — where yerry mina scored in the 99th minute to snatch a i all draw for everton against wolves. how crucial that point could be for sean dyche. everton are two points outside the relegation zone for now. their fight to avoid dropping into the championship will go down to the final day of the season. i thought the mentality was fantastic. the change we had to make firm personnel, the shape, trying to affect the game against a team that had nothing to play for this evening, they went on the back foot to open the game and that can be difficult sometimes. i thought we kept going to finally get the chance

to break them down and nick a point, which is pleasant in the end. aleksandar mitrovic, making his first start since returning from his eight—match ban for pushing a referee — scored twice as fulham drew 2 all with crystal palace at craven cottage. joel ward with the late equaliser for the visitors. let's have a look then at the premier the table. manchester city will be champions because arsenal are losing a nottingham forest. newcastle if think it a point against leicester on monday night will guaranteed insults champions league football, manchester united our point away from doing that themselves. liverpool fifth, as i said, that frustrating results for them today against aston villa, who are second. moving on to the bottom half of the premier lite ball, if we take a look at the fight for survival, very much in the air at the moment for several sides, lesser city playing a new class on monday, leads at west ham tomorrow, desperate for a win, not

spares on the final day, every ten to points clear at the moment after that wolves. that's what victor had arsenal would mean for them. they be on the brink of safety. have to be careful with their goal difference, but looking at for forced at the moment. that second half is just resumed i—0 commit elite arsenal. —— elite arsenal. stockport county have reached the league two play—off final at wembley next weekend after a penalty shoot—out victory over local rivals salford city. antoni sark—evic scored the decisive spot kick in the shoot—out after the tie finished 2—all on aggregate. county only returned to the football league this season after eleven years in non—league. they'll play carlisle for a place in league one. this one also went to extra time but ben barclay�*s header means it'll be fourth versus fifth next sunday for the right to join leyton orient, stevenage and northampton in going up. next to scotland, stjohnstone have secured premiership survival after a narrow win against kilmarnock.

it finished i—nil. kilmarnock remain in a fight for survival as do bottom side dundee united and ross county who were both beaten. champions celtic extended their unbeaten domestic home run to 51 games with a 2 all draw against st mirren whilst fourth placed hearts beat aberdeen 2—1 to movejust two points behind them. staying in scotland, after well over a century of being in the football league, albion rovers have been relegated from league two — it's spartans who'll take their place after they won their pyramid play off final 1—0, 2—1 on aggregate. meanwhile hamilton academical are playing airdrie for a place in the championship next season. it's the second leg of their playoff final. hamilton were a goal down from the first leg but drew level on aggregate when connor smith put them ahead in the first half. it's currently still 1—1 on aggregate in the second half. tottenham have thrashed reading 4—1 in the wsl meanwhile watford have made an immediate return to the women's championship after beating nottingham forest 1—0 in the national league play—off.

poppy wilson's first—half header was all that separated the two teams at stadium mk ensuring that wales' all—time leading scorer helen ward ended her career on a high with the club. defeat leaves forest in the third tier for a 12th successive season. next to new york and the third round of the uspga championship — golf�*s second major of the year. scottie scheffler, viktor hovland and corey conners have a share of the lead at the half way stage and they tee off in around an hour. england's callum tarren and justin rose are part of the chasing pack. 0ur golf correspondent ian carter is at oak hill country club for us. thank you for being with us. they are well under way, of course, although all eyes are on that chasing pack, the leaders tee off shortly. what stood out for you today so far angers three? well, i think the most _ today so far angers three? well, i think the most striking _ today so far angers three? well, i think the most striking thing - today so far angers three? well, i think the most striking thing so i today so far angers three? well, i | think the most striking thing so far today has been the weather because

since early this morning it's been raining very steadily, making the point that it is not so much 0k well as it is soaked hail right now, and they suggest that rain will just continue. no wind as such, but there are pools of water starting to develop on the course. we are out to keep it playable and the likes of rory mcelroy just getting keep it playable and the likes of rory mcelroyjust getting their rounds under way and very damp conditions. so no one really making much of a move amongst the chasing pack as it stands if you are paying part off, you are making a little bit of progress, but it is going to be very, very difficult for these leaders as the afternoon progressed to stop like you mentioned rory there. what have you made of him starting the day? what have you seen of him in the first couple of days? he has battled. i think that's the one thing you can say. normally we would be talking about rory with his progress off the tee and everything flowing from that when he is in

contention in the biggest tournaments. that has not been the case. the driving has been a big problem for him throughout the first two rounds, but he worked extremely hard yesterday to just stay on the fringes of contending, and a pretty at the last got him to live apart, so he is going into this third within five shots of the lead and in a position that could potentially lead to him contending tomorrow, but that driver is going to have to be accurate, because if you get into the rough today but such wet conditions, it is going to be very, very difficult to advance your ball. england's content garrett saying he was relaxed and chilled at the moment. what has impressed you most about ten? ~ ., moment. what has impressed you most about ten? ~ . ., ., ., about ten? well, that demeanour, and it was the demeanour _ about ten? well, that demeanour, and it was the demeanour he _ about ten? well, that demeanour, and it was the demeanour he had _ about ten? well, that demeanour, and it was the demeanour he had for- about ten? well, that demeanour, and it was the demeanour he had for much | it was the demeanour he had for much of the us open last year when he really saw the first into consciousness. this is a player who has really come through the different ranks of the game to finally get himself onto the pga

tour. fora finally get himself onto the pga tour. for a while, finally get himself onto the pga tour. fora while, he finally get himself onto the pga tour. for a while, he played in china, and he graduated from there, and ultimately, he has now made it onto the pga tour. as i say, he showed up at the us open last year and has had an exceptional couple of days so far here if he can maintain that chilled out attitude, then he will remain on this leaderboard. what do you make of the top of that leaderboard? showing the lyric data sharing the lead as i said, pricks kept, who admits he choked when he led the master is not far behind at all. ., , ., ., , ., all. know, they are not. they are both live players _ all. know, they are not. they are both live players as _ all. know, they are not. they are both live players as wells, - all. know, they are not. they are both live players as wells, so - all. know, they are not. they are both live players as wells, so i i both live players as wells, so i think they will be watching him with a of satisfaction. —— liv. looking very, very comfortable at that. extremely impressive with his 66. but scheffler is the man undoubtedly. the world number two, consistently posting —ish after high spinach. 0ne consistently posting —ish after high spinach. one of the players

championship this year, defended his title in phoenix as well, and with the pot not quite as hot as it was last year, if he can touch while over the weekend, then he is going to take some beating, although he doesn't have the outright leave just yet. at doesn't have the outright leave 'ust et. �* . , . . doesn't have the outright leave 'ust et. . ., , doesn't have the outright leave 'ust et. ., ., ,., come. from our golf correspondence, thank you. in the challenge cup — the holders wigan staged an incredible fightback today as they beat leeds to reach the last eight. their victory by 18 points to ia camejust eight days after they were thrashed by leeds in the super league. craig templeton was watching. leeds rhinos and wiccan worriers have lifted the challenge cup 3a times between them, making them the two most successful teams in history of the competition —— wigan, making this the tie of the sixth round. to raise the temperature even more into hiding receipts, leeds surprisingly beat wigan in the super league last

week. time, team to prove wasn't a one off. and then harry newman needed his bestjuggling acts to get hold of the ball, but when he dead, his reward was a tri— line. on the at 14-0 did his reward was a tri— line. on the at 14—0 did wigan start playing the sort of rugby that led them to the trophy last year. devon french started the revival. the australian added a net beforejunior levelled the score is an unforgettable fashion. with 15 minutes on the clock, this was now all about timing, and it was wigan who showed the position. ryan's pass found jake, and the comeback was sealed. leeds will feel hard done by, but it is the defending champions who march on and who is to say that they can't go all the way?

la rochelle have won the european cup for the second year in a row — beating leinster 27—26 in dublin the irish side raced into a 17—0 in the opening 12 minutes with hooker dan sheehan scoring two of them, but la rochelle came roaring back in the second half. georges—henri colombe's try put the french side one point away and then antoine hastoy�*s conversion sealed the victory. not only have la rochelle won back—to—back to titles but they've also beaten leinster in successive finals. 7 stages to go at the giro d'italia — germany's nico denz won stage ia but there's a surprise new leader after geraint thomas and the group of race favourites took it easy, in terrible wet weather. frenchman bruno arm—ee—rye started the day in 22nd place, nearly 19 minutes off the pace — he now leads thomas byi minutes and 41 seconds. drew savage explains why.

a writer needs many qualities to win a grand tour, endurance, the ability to deal with all weather conditions and to stay healthy for three weeks. sometimes, to pick your battles and look at the bigger picture. that was the case for geraint thomas today. that pinkjersey can be a mixed blessing — it means an hour of interviews every day, while your rivals are already recovering. primoz roglic, in the black and yellow of thejumbo visma team — is two seconds behind thomas in the standings but he was playing it safe too. so as the race reached flatter terrain a clearer picture emerged. a breakaway group was allowed to gain minutes and minutes. germany's nico denz won his second giro stage, while in the second group across the line was the unheralded frenchman bruno armirail. he'd started the day 22nd but as the thomas group, tactically, trundled over the line 20 minutes later, armirial inherited the race lead. the welshman content to let that pinkjersey go for now — the french rider more than happy to accept it and all that comes with it. danny savage, bbc news.

time now for some of the day's other sport stories. there was an uphill sprint finish at the four—day vuelta a burgos feminas, and the race leader lorena wiebes came from behind to win stage three. that extends her lead to ia seconds with one stage to go. it's the first weekend of the english t20 competition, the vitality blast — three sixes from luke wells helped the lancashire lightning on their way as they beat the derbyshire falcons by four wickets at old trafford. wells top scored with 66 off 35 balls. in tennis, holger rune — the man who knocked out novak djokovic — is into the final of the rome masters after coming from a set down to beat last year's french open finalist casper ruud. he'll play the winner of the other semi between daniil medvedev and stefanos tsitsipas it's a big night of boxing, as the light—weight world champion — ireland's katie taylor — hopes to become only the second
