they lost 1—0 to manchester city in the semi finals. r magdalena eriksson, who scored an own goal in the 92nd minute to gift city the win. 0bviously ecstatic that we have another opportunity to go up to wembley, it is one of the best years for playing in the fa cup final. but i think the game was pretty even as a whole, so it's a cruel ending. city will play west ham in the final, after they beat reading in the day's early kick off. reading took the lead just after half time. but west ham were leveljust eight minutes later, alisha lehmann with their equaliser. fara williams then missed a penalty for reading, so it finished 1—1 after 90 minutes. no goals in extra time, so it went to penalties. cho so hyun's spotkick securing a 11—3 victory for west ham. it means an fa cup final in their first season as a professional team. what a performance, what a battle from start to finish. what a feeling, look at that! look at that — wembley! you are going to wembley. you said how much you wanted to get here with west ham, you've been there so may ti

manchester united vs manchester city is an eight o'clock kick off.entary on five live sport. coverage begins at 6:30 with mark chapman live from old trafford. commentary team of the bbc‘s football correspondent john murray and robbie savage. the five—time winner ronnie o'sullivan claimed he was — physically not 100% — as he was on the receiving end of probably the biggest upset in crucible history — beaten 10—8 by amateur, james cahill in the first round of the world snooker championship in sheffield. as ben croucher reports, it was an unexpected performance from ‘the rocket‘ in more ways than one... they are calling it the greatest shot in snooker. james cahill walked into the crucible a qualifier, and debutante, and amateur. he left it today with the piece of history. you know, it's nice to just win, its nice to qualify, it's nice to beat ronnie, every thing is just perfect today. if cahill achieved perfection, this was a very imperfect ronnie o'sullivan, one we have not come to recognise, even without the drastic overnight haircut. miss, followed

, the strength of manchester city, the strength of manchester city, the strength of manchester citye quality. of course, it is after the quality, but it is first of all the desire and, you know, the will to fight. it is an incredible to whom. i've said it, i don't know, maybe 1000 times since i came to england, but harry kane, number nine for the international english team, an incredible striker, everybody knows it. he does everything, right, left, movement, keep the ball, intelligent movement, keep the ball, intelligent movement, dropping in the box, he is clinical. he does everything like a modern striker. natalie, you mentioned pep guardiola talking about this quadruple, or quintuple, he says it is impossible, he pours scorn on it at every possible turn. he probably would do that, he doesn't want to increase the pressure on his side but pochettino was talking about it and he said if any team is going to do it it will be them. the good news for city is a aguero has been training, he missed two matches with a muscle injury but he was here training last night, so good news for them,

they were miles behind manchester city last year. e force and the fa ct as this unstoppable force and the fact that liverpool are so close behind them with three games to go is testing out to you how brilliant this liverpool team have been. look at the age of the squad, their peak years are still ahead of them, jurgen klopp will be here for years, they have talented young players coming up, and crucially, they are not going to lose any key players. five years ago they lost luis suarez and that derailed them, now liverpool is a top club where players want to put down roots, they don't see it as a stepping stone, they want to commit their best years to the club because they win —— they believe they can win the big trophies from here. the pfa has announced its team of the year today. unusually it features only players from the top two lodge apart from one, manchester united's paul pogba. six manchester city players and fourfrom pogba. six manchester city players and four from liverpool make the tea m and four from liverpool make the team

they beat manchester city back on the way.as he has travelled for this one. plenty of fans inside wembley stadium tomorrow. but in's funds will outnumber city. so it is brighton with the unenviable task of taking on manchester city, the premier league champions going for a historic quadruple. so do the seagulls hold out any hope? welljuliette parkin has been assessing the mood on the south coast. if he messes, brighton go through to wembley. —— if he misses brighton go through to wembley. brighton are at wembley in the fa cup semifinal! out ofjail, two nil down after 88 minutes! the journey to wembley could not have been tense. victory from the jaws of defeat in the lion's then. they were to down in the game and had to come down for penalties. it gives that extra impetus to the cup run and it makes fans feel that it is their time, their luck is in. it was very enjoyable, very exciting. and what a cabinet has been. they swept aside fellow premier league side bournemouth. they finished off west brom in the replay and then dismis

hello and welcome to sportsday, lots coming up on the programme but we start with manchester city whoe returned to the top of the premier league after a 1—0 win at burnley. much to the disappointment of liverpool fans who were hoping city would slip up. with just one point between the two clubs and only two matches remaining, it looks like the fight for the title might go down to the wire. it was a scrapy match with city having a shout for a penalty turned down after the ball struck ashley barnes on the arm. but they did find the breakthrough when sergio aguero‘s shotjust about crossed the line, confirmed using goal—line technology. manchester city are now a point above liverpool with two games remaining. if they beat leicester and brighton they will retain the title. these kind of games you play with the tension which what is going in the season. you know already we have two points. so it is incredible. and the same with said west month. —— last month. it is in our hands, we have to win every two games. one against leicester and after against brighton. manchester united and chelsea h

the pride of manchester — for a quarter of a century under sir alex ferguson there was no debate... the cityever since the blue half of manchester has been the dominant force. tonight in the premier league a lot could be decided — the title for guardiola's city, a place in the top four for solskjaer‘s united but for some fans, the pride that comes with winning the derby may mean so much more. let's ta ke let's take a look at the top of the table going into this one. manchester city going into this one, they can win, this is their game in hand. manchester united have a game in handover chelsea but they are behind the londoners on goal difference. a big game for both clu bs. andy swiss looks ahead. manchester city, premier league champions. so, could this be the night that defines the season? 12 months after lifting the premier league title, manchester city are eyeing a repeat. the champions have won their last ten league games, and victory tonight would take them top with just three matches left. against any team it would be some game, but against manchester united, it could be very special.

a vital moment, notjust in the seasons of manchester city and totte n ha m seasons of manchester cityut also the history of the two clubs. city have reached the champions league semifinal once before in 2016, when they were beaten by eventual winners real madrid. but you have to go back nearly 50 years for their only piece of european silverware, the uefa cup winners cup in 1970. they are chasing an unprecedented quadruple of trophies, something that the manager called impossible, but how do the players feel? if you don't dream big you will not get near it, if you don't believe in yourselves 01’ if you don't believe in yourselves or your team—mates, your staff or whatever, you will not achieve. i think it comes from within everyone, as players, as staff, that we have this dream, disbelief and ambition to do it and we are trying to fulfil that. spurs' last european final was in the uefa cup in 1984, a tournament they won. they are in a strong position after some human's winner in london, and progress to the final four would show how far they have come under mauricio pochettino. the imp

manchester city fans have a difficult relationship with the champions league.rom the supporters as well as the players. there will be bad moments in the game and at those moments, we need those supporters. i am really curious how our fans will react tomorrow. i want to see if they want tomorrow. i want to see if they want to get to the semifinal. not just the players, iwant to get to the semifinal. not just the players, i want to see my fans, ourfans, if the players, i want to see my fans, our fans, if they really want to get to the semifinals. manchester city is one of the best teams in the world and of course, it is clear they are looking to win the premier league in the champion league. for us to beat them in the first leg was an amazing result. but we know very well that the tie is still open and tomorrow is going to be very tough. it would be a huge achievement if spurs were able to beat manchester city over the two legs. we don't know if kelly ali is going to feature for spurs. he trained today and will be assessed after training today for but spurs are i

it's in, a priceless goal for manchester city! golden chance to equalise, before substitute leroy sane found himself in acres of space to extend city's lead. the significance of the moment not lost on the manager. de gea, all too aware that once again, he should have done better. a seventh defeat in nine, then, for united. their hopes of a top four place in jeopardy. city back on top with what could prove a decisive win. their dream of retaining the title within touching distance. it all means city are a point ahead of liverpool with three games to play in what has been a truly remarkable title race that has seen the lead change hands some 28 times already. when all three and they will retain the title, and they are on the verge of an unprecedented domestic treble, manchester city. at old trafford, the scale of the rebuilding task required is laid bare this evening. newsnight is getting under way on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm sarah mulkerrins. your headlines

so it is all still in manchester city's hands.tonight — for a short while at least — they will be top of the table. and that will put a bit of pressure back on manchester city for their game in hand on sunday. so there could be a few more twists and turns in this enthralling title race. kick off here is at 8 o'clock. thank you. i have a nervous liverpool fan here who is trying to concentrate on the weather, not the football. i will stick to the weather. last weekend was barbecue weather, this weekend was barbecue weather, this weekend is not, and that is because storm hanna is sweeping in from the atlantic. the curl of cloud shows this area of low pressure which is deepening and the winds will be strengthening overnight and in due tomorrow for many parts of the country. we will all see a band of rain sweeping north and east, which could be heavy, and the winds pick up could be heavy, and the winds pick up overnight, with more rain coming into northern ireland and over the irish sea. all tending to keep those temperatures on the mi

manchester city in the last few yea rs manchester city in the last few years is beginning to try andod squad, he is one of the best managers of the world. if one club oi’ managers of the world. if one club or one team is able to win everything it is manchester city today. liverpool are also in action in europe tomorrow night they face an on paper easier tie. they are playing porto. the old cliche says you don't win football matches on paper though. liverpool will take heart from last season's run to the final where they knocked out the portuguese champions in the last 16 including a 5—0 win at the estadio do dragoa before a goalless draw at anfield. it is more valuable for the results from last year for porto than for us but on the other side, i am not interested in it. i know my players well enough and they only want to focus on thejob well enough and they only want to focus on the job they have to do and thejob focus on the job they have to do and the job they have to do tomorrow night has nothing to do with last year. should be a great european night. we'll look at those games in

manchester city are a point clear at the top, with a huge trip to manchester united to come next wednesdayw looking to respond. watford's win moves them above leicester and wolves up to seventh. this is how the bottom looks for now. bournemouth stay 12th and confirmation of the vital point for brighton. cardiff will be desperate to respond tomorrow, but it couldn't be tougher as they welcome title chasing liverpool. plenty still to play for, it will be a great end to the season. any thoughts of an easter sunday title party for celtic have been spoiled after rangers kept up theirfaint hopes in the scottish premiership with a 3—1 win against hearts at tynecastle. steven gerrard's side now trail the leaders by eight points with four games to play. ben croucher reports. if the title race in scotland has become a bit predictable as of late, then rangers and hearts tend to squabble for the best of the rest. rest is what the rangers have not been short of lately. playing for the first time in a fortnight, jemaine showed no signs of rust. for hearts, well, they didn't help themselves. careless in
