hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. bruno to the rescue at old trafford as fernandes scores a late winner for manchester united against rangers in their europa league clash. marmoush checks in in manchester as city get their hands on a new striker. and it's another ashes win for australia as they secure a series victory — but only after the weather intervenes to frustrate england. hello there and welcome along to the programme. and we start with another packed evening of european

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 with that late goal from manchester united to win. it was a great finish to the game. the error from jack butland, you almost didn't want her to decide again. rangers were brilliantly they came back into it and it was excellent. anyway they celebrated, almost a little bit,

thought they had done it, got over the line. they say you are most susceptible when you have just caught and that proved right. nobody closed martenes down, it was a - lovely ball. not a vintage manchester performance, the significance of the win as well, manchester united and when rangers they went from fourth on the table tonight outside the top eight. without winner it propels them back and fourth are now there is a chance of possibly finishing in the top two. romania next weekend it will not be _ two. romania next weekend it will not be an _ two. romania next weekend it will not be an easy _ two. romania next weekend it will not be an easy game - two. romania next weekend it will not be an easy game for i will not be an easy game for them — will not be an easy game for them playing against the former slow bucharest. they will be looking _ slow bucharest. they will be looking to win that game, a game — looking to win that game, a game that ruben will approach with caution, making a couple of changes but it is again they will look— of changes but it is again they will look to win with the seeded places in mind in first and second in the europa league this season, manchester united before — this season, manchester united before the game was one of only five teams that were big. i don't — five teams that were big. i don't know what it is after these _ don't know what it is after these games tomorrow but the europe —

these games tomorrow but the europa league have been a welcome distraction from the premier— welcome distraction from the premier league. 335 welcome distraction from the premier league.— premier league. as for the rangers. — premier league. as for the rangers. they _ premier league. as for the rangers, they will - premier league. as for the rangers, they will hope . premier league. as for the rangers, they will hope to | premier league. as for the i rangers, they will hope to get bodies back next week for their final game because the injuries had a negative effect on their performance in the way they had to adjust things. it is performance in the way they had to adjust things.— to ad'ust things. it is how the to adjust things. it is how they came _ to adjust things. it is how they came out _ to adjust things. it is how they came out in - to adjust things. it is how they came out in the - to adjust things. it is how i they came out in the second half. losing the right back because of the switches they made in the inexperience they brought off the bench. i thought every player the played came off the pitch with a lot of credit but i think the manager was struggling because the squad was threadbare. the was a little unbalanced and it took him a good while to regain momentum. an excellent performance by them tonight. wednesday and thursday next week, the champions league and the europa league, the concluding set of games played every game will make an interesting listen. join us next week. tottenham put their recent poor form behind them to win in germany and put themselves into the automatic qualification spots, but their victory against hoffenheim was not straightforward. two early goals appeared to put tottenham in complete control,

but anton stach got one back 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 postecoglou's side hung on for a vital win. just outstanding by the players. full credit to them. winning in europe is always difficult. all in respect of 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. i think the growth in

especially from the commercial and match day streams are really important. but what we're seeing as well is the ability to intersect sports, entertainment and culture all at once, which i think is really important for the future development of football clubs. and i think broadcast is definitely one of those streams 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 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 pitch 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 is so much mental capacity taken up watching dls, watching run raids and radars, it was a weird way to finish, well, not vanessa wood way to wrap up and not win outright. relieved, happy to win it this early. it will be nice, get a chance as a

group to properly celebrate together, butjob not done, still two really began to go. well, the victory is australia's sixth women's ashes win in a row but the multi—format series, which has existed since 2013, has never been won via a clean sweep of results. our reporter henry moeran watched the defeat alongside former england player alex hartley. this was as good as in glen have been but they have now lost another game. yeah, you know it's weird, isn't it? we have just watched a thrilling game of cricket but ultimately england not good enough again, as heather knight said to you on bbc tv. it is a weird one, isn't it. we have been really critical of this england side throughout the women's ashes series and rightly so, but tonight was the closest they have been and if it wasn't for rain what could have been for england? heather knight was absolutely flying out in the middle. she had a strike rate above 200. she was in total control. and 18 off five is a big ask and it is very, very

rarely chased down, and women's cricket in particular, but heather knight felt like she was in control. they came out with the bit 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. england have to be at the very, very best to beat them. they were much better. and australia now, the prospect potentially of a series whitewash, one more twenty20 and then it is a test match and that is a horrible thought for england. and that will be the narrative for australians in australia, isn't it? get to the mcg and watch us what was white wash 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, i have the same energy levels i 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 it 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 and go and take a holiday for a while, but absolutely don't come i think that is just a cowardly way out, i would rather stick at it unless somebody says we would like you to go. that is 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.
