football in the europa league. manchester united head coach ruben amorim took back his comments about his side being the worst united team in history and they responded on thursday by beating rangers — but only just. it finished 2—1 at old trafford — bruno fernandes with a stoppage time winner. ian dennis and former england goalkeeper paul robinson were at old trafford for us. well, it was certainly a dramatic finish with two late goals as fortunes and emotions fluctuated about, paul, if ever there was an example of fine margins we saw it with rangers with a mistake from jack butland and then when they switched off at that they golf manchester majesty 92 when i. it was a great finish to the game _ it was a great finish to the game. the error from jack butland, _ game. the error from jack butland, you almost didn't want her to— butland, you almost didn't want her to decide again. rangers were — her to decide again. rangers were brilliantly they came back into it — were brilliantly they came back into it and it was excellent. anyway— into it and it was excellent. anyway they celebrated, almost a little _ anyway they celebrated, almost a little bit, thought they had done — a little bit, thought they had done it. _ a little bit, thought they had done it, got overthe a little bit, thought they had done it, got over the line. they— done it, got over the line. they say— done it, got over the line. they say you are most susceptible when you have just caught — susceptible when you have just caught in— susceptible when you have just caught in the prue bray. nobody

just after the hour mark to get the home side back into it. tottenham restored their 2—goal advantage shortly after, but conceded again late on to ensure a nerve finish, but ange postecolgou's side hung on for a vital win. just outstanding by the players. full credit to them. winning in europe is always difficult. in respect of the situation when, but the situation when, but the situation we are in, a really unbelievable effort. great leadership by the experienced players, really needed them to stand up today. elsewhere, lazio have booked their place in the last 16 after easing past real sociedad 3—1. eintracht frankfurt are all but qualified after beating ferencvaros 2—0. and bodo/glimt and olympiakos both moved up to just outside the automatic places after victories against maccabi tel aviv and porto respectively. off the pitch, manchester city have had a busy day in the transfer market

as they aim to try and get their premier league campaign back on track. they've confirmed the signing of egyptian forward omar marmoush on a four—year dealfor 59 million. marmoush has scored 15 goals in 17 bundesliga games this season for eintract frankfurt — second only to england captain harry kane's 16 for bayern munich. but a big name departs the etihad — kyle walker is leaving. he's moved to italy tojoin ac milan on loan until the end of the season. the deal includes an option to buy the defender in the summer. it was also revealed on thursday that manchester city have made an annual revenue of 708 million — according to analysis by deloitte. incredibly, that leaves them second with real madrid becoming the first football club to generate more than i billion euros in annual revenue after the 2023—24 season in which they won la liga and the champions league. paris saint—germain, manchester united, and bayern munich complete the top five. it is definitely significant.

think the growth in especially from the commercial and matthei streams are really important. but what we're seeing as well is the ability to intercept sports entertainment and culture all at once, which i think is really important for the future development of football clubs. and i think broad contrast —— broadcasters deftly of those dreams that is historically very significant and one that clubs used to rely quite heavily on. what we're seeing now is those top ten clubs in the money leg are actually gaining more revenue from their commercial stream than they are broadcast. and i think that is an incredible sign of the strength of their brands, both on and off the pitch, so they can leverage those brands more broadly, so when it comes to on his performance those numbers can still stay pretty high. australian batter grace harris says her side wants to embarrass england after they won the ashes series outright, with victory in the second t20 to lead ten points to zero in the series. batting first, captain tahlia mcgrath top scored for the home side in canberra

with a8, as australia set england 186 to win. england had a chance of victory, though, needing 18 from five balls, but the weather intervened as rain forced them off with no further place, meaning england suffered a six—run defeat on the duckworth lewis method. it was coming down pretty heavy and it has continued, just frustrating that the game wasn't able to come to a climax. it was a brilliant game of cricket, that lacko could get us over the line, it felt really certain, had some good boundary options, it was a really good cricket wicket. so just disappointed that obviously wasn't able to give the chance of getting over the line. there was so much drama in the game _ there was so much drama in the game is — there was so much drama in the game is so — there was so much drama in the game is so much mental capacity taken _ game is so much mental capacity taken up — game is so much mental capacity taken up watching dls, watching run raids— taken up watching dls, watching run raids and radars, it was a weird— run raids and radars, it was a weird way— run raids and radars, it was a weird way to finish, well, not vanessa _ weird way to finish, well, not vanessa wood way to wrap up and not win _ vanessa wood way to wrap up and not win outright. relieved, happy— not win outright. relieved, happy to— not win outright. relieved, happy to win it this early. it

cricket in particular, but heather knight felt like she was in control. as thomas levet came out with the bat between their teeth to prove everybody wrong, we are going to fight, we are going to show with this team is capable of. ultimately, they were on the losing end and i think australia have the best skills in the world, without a doubt stop england have to be at the very, very best to beat them. , . , them. they were much better. and australia _ them. they were much better. and australia now, _ them. they were much better. and australia now, the - them. they were much better. l and australia now, the prospect potentially of a series whitewash suwannawat e10 —— twenty20 and then it is mr gan, and that is a horrible thought for england. and that is a horrible thought for england-— for england. and that will be the narrative _ for england. and that will be the narrative for _ for england. and that will be the narrative for australians | the narrative for australians in australia, isn't it? get to the mcg and watch us what was england. to be the only english press out here, we don't really want that to happen, because we don't want that to happen. but whatever does happen is hopefully going to play better cricket. the chief executive of the english rugby football union, bill sweeney, says resigning from his position would be "the cowardly way out". he's been criticised for overseeing record losses and a new round ofjob cuts in the same year that a bonus scheme pushed his pay to £1.1 million.

sweeney will now face a vote of no confidence in a meeting in late march. i feel as strongly about the role as they did when they first came in, have the same energy levels they had. the easiest thing to do would be to walk away and with all this stuff going on, when we started off this conversation about is not pleasant, and i would be lying if they said it was a nice experience, but the easiest thing to do would be to pack it in for all the reasons we have discussed anger and take a holiday for a while, but absolutely don't come i think thatis absolutely don't come i think that is just a cowardly way out, they would rather stick at it, stepladder, unless somebody says we would like you to go. that is just a matter we have time for. —— just about all we have time for. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app orfrom our website — but from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. thanks for watching and we will see you next time.

hello there. a rare red weather warning has been issued by the met office for northern ireland and scotland for storm eowyn. a red warning means that there will be significant disruption from this storm, even the potential for a loss of life. if you do not have to travel during friday, it is best to not do so. now this area of low pressure, storm eowyn underwent a rapid intensification during the early hours of friday morning. it's throwing a lot of heavy rain ahead of it and some damaging gusts of wind, some snow to higher ground, but it's here where the centre of the low is, that's where we'll have the strongest of the winds during the morning rush hour. so that's when the red warning is in force across northern ireland. that will continue until 2pm in the afternoon. and then the strongest of the winds transfer into the central belt of scotland. widespread gusts close to 90mph, possibly some isolated gusts of 100mph. we've also got amber weather warnings quite widely across the northern half of the uk. damaging gusts of winds here, there are numerous weather warnings right across the uk. do go to the bbc weather website for further updates. but as we go through the day on friday, the rain across england and wales

will ease quite quickly. and then it's a day of sunny spells and gale force gusts of winds. a rash of showers and longer spells of rain as the low crosses scotland. here it's going to stay pretty miserable, six or seven degrees — highest values of 12 further south. but as i've already stated, if you don't have to travel in those red weather warnings, it is best not to do so. if you do have travel plans on friday, well, be prepared for those damaging winds. there could be some disruption with power cuts, structural damage, travel disruption. tune into your bbc local radio station for further updates. now the storm will start to ease away, still windy day on saturday, but elsewhere it's a slightly quieter story, so we keep the gales into the far north and some of these showers will be wintry in nature. but elsewhere, it's a case of sunny spells, lighter winds

on saturday before more wet weather pushes in from the west, but it will be noticeably colder as well. that rain is going to sweep its way steadily east, so that benign, quiet weather story looks likely to be a thing of the past. keep watching the weather forecast for further updates.
