commentator: and it is 12 i premier league wins in a row for manchester city. rpooljust kept winning to now close the gap and with one more win, today they'd go out in front. we were 1a points behind city and now we've clawed that gap back to one point and i think we should all be really proud of how far they've come this season, winning and getting three points at the etihad. don't think it would get much better than that. liverpool have just kept on winning, and that's why that gap is shortened tojust one point because they've been so relentless. and it just shows that the standards of these two teams and how they're they're really pushing each other towards greatness. i think they are the two best teams in the world without doubt, and it's going to be fascinating to see how it plays out. they've been so dominant, but so close. in four years of football and 144 games, there's one point between them. this year, one will lift the trophy with the fans back in to see it. it means so much to both of them in football's great modern rivalry. joe lynskey, bbc news. ec

for all manchester city's triumphs and trophies, there is one thing they can't sing about yet — beingt we will get to the final. if there's any year, i think this could be the one. city have come here with a one goal advantage from the first leg but it could be another very cagey night against atletico madrid. the spanish champions stifled city's creative streak last week. john stones should have done better with an early header. phil foden had had trouble. has gone straight through him. he played on despite a clattering challenge from felipe to stop a desperate scramble in the box so gundogan hit the post. pep guardiola adopted this position for much of the second half. he knew atletico would push for a goal. how close was that from antoine griezmann? mighty close. as the home side became increasingly desperate, felipe crunched into phil foden again and was sent off. and that helped city's cause. a madrid melee and nine minutes of extra time later, relief. city had scraped into the semifinals. they'll return to this city to real madrid. for liverpool, it was a more straightforward pa

disappointment for arsenal but they now face manchester city in the final and the chance to successfullye cup. two games in the premier league this afternoon, and leicester fans will certianly not want to be talking about bruno after guimares�* goal in injury time secured the three points for newcastle. leicester took the lead at st james�* park from a corner in the 19th minute — ademola lookman scored his eighth goal of the season. but newcastle, also from a corner, equalised. it wasn't pretty though — bruno guimares�* shot was initially stopped by kasper schmeichel, but the brazilian kicked the ball between the goalkeeper�*s legs and across the line. the goal was eventually given after var had a look at it. the game was heading for a draw until guimares struck again with a flying header in the fifth minute of injury time. he's an incredible person and an incredible footballer and so, we consider ourselves very fortunate to have him with us and we'll be hoping he grows and develops in our team and certainly excited and the levels that he met. and quickly and the supporters of certainly

after a poor first half, it was the away side who took the lead — former manchester city striker kelechiheader. but leicester led for just three minutes — fred the quickest to react after bruno fernandes�* shot was saved. leicester looked more likely to get a winner though — david de gea with a great save to deny wesley fofa na and moments later — leicester did score — butjames maddison�*s goal was disallowed by var — for a foul in the build up. 1—1 it finished — united stay 6th, leicester are 9th. in the day's other games — wolves boosted their hopes of playing in europe next season by beating aston villa to move up to seventh. brighton ended a run of six straight league defeats, with a draw to bottom side norwich. and leeds and southampton drew 1—all... five games in the scottish premiership today ahead of tomorrow's old firm derby. motherwell completed a sensational comeback to beat st mirren 4—2 for their first win of the year as they moved up to fifth. st mirren drop to 10th in the table, with their top—six hopes fading. the only other win of the day — came from stjohnstone, who bea

for all their recent success, manchester city have never won the champions league, and atletico madridalf, their defence simply smothered city's attack, leaving pep with a puzzle. could his team crack the code? well, with time running out, phil foden found kevin de bruyne, and at last... slips it through for de bruyne! from stalemate to celebration. how city were made to work for it, but that was enough for a 1—0 win and a crucial lead heading into the second leg. liverpool, meanwhile, were in lisbon to face benfica. and they got off to a thumping start. konate! ibrahima konate made the most of some charitable defending to power the visitors ahead. and it soon got even better for them, as liverpool's class was once again clear — sadio mane tapping them into a 2—0 lead at the break. but after it, benfica hit back. konate's mistake and darwin nunez gave the hosts new hope. but it was the visitors that had the last word, as luis diaz kept his cool to round off a 3—1win for liverpool, a place in the semifinals very much in their sights. andy swiss, bbc news. it's the talk of the golfing wo

and in the champions league, a tense night for liverpool and manchester city as each battle for a placesemi—finals. and coming up in sport, can liverpool get past benfica at anfield and reach the semifinals of the champions league? good evening. is this the end game for the strategically important city of mariupol in south—eastern ukraine? under siege for several weeks by russian forces, moscow now claims 1000 ukrainian troops have surrendered after intense fighting in the area. the government here maintains it's still in control. but russian troops who'd encircled the city have been slowly pushing towards the centre, encountering stiff resistance. however, the fightback from ukrainian forces maybe about to end. gaining full control of mariupol would be a major win for moscow, creating a land bridge between crimea, which russia illegally annexed in 2014, and areas held by russian—led separatists in the donbas region. it would enable thousands of troops to be deployed to the east for a new offensive already planned there. but caught in the middle is mariupol. its mayor says around 21,000

but manchester city are still a point clear at the top — after a 2—0 win against burnley at turf moorrtable return from the break for pep guardiola's side — kevin de bruyne�*s strike gave them the lead after just five minutes. ilkay gundogan added another twenty minutes later against a struggling burnley side that only registered one shot on target. what they have done in the past does not mean it will happen this time, not mean it will happen this time, no one knows, but it was nice, we had to play with a lot of pressure, because if we lose we are out. as simple as that. so do whatever you want, but we are not going to win and every game is going to be like this. are games where you want to make 2a points, otherwise, we will not be champions. well before that — liverpool had moved above city — and gone top of the table, after beating watford 2—0 at anfield. it's the first time that's happened since october, with the title race really ramping up now, ahead of a huge clash between city and liverpool in the league next week. before the game it felt like a parade. at anfield the passion

manchester city and liverpool are both into the semifinals of the champions league after getting thetheir victory in the first leg. 0lly foster reports. for all manchester city's triumphs and trophies, there's one thing they can't sing about yet — being european champions. we're confident, aren't we? we're confident we will get to the final. if there's any year, i think this could be the one. city have come here with a one goal advantage a one goal advantage from the first leg, but it could be another very cagey night against atletico madrid. the spanish champions stifled city's creative streak last week. john stones should have done better with an early header. phil foden had had trouble. he's gone straight through him. he played on despite a clattering challenge from felipe to stop a desperate scramble in the box so gundogan hit the post. pep guardiola adopted this position for much of the second half. he knew atletico would push for a goal. how close was that from antoine griezmann? mighty close. as the home side became increasingly desperate, felipe crunched into phil foden again

and if he wins the premier league this season, course manchester city laughs and then say about that, that i think people will start to regard him more of where they should do. so, as we mentioned earlier, live appli chase in a quadruple. do you think they can manage that? yeah, the key word isn't something that people will want to say around level poses who often they don't want to temp any fates. or course manchester city have the deciding factor in that if they win all their premier league remaining gains, they will be crown primarily champions. it's as simple as that level. just have to keep when they're in charge of their own destiny against chelsea. they'll feel that they'll be able to continue against villareal and reach that champions league final . and then they'll either play manchester city or rail madrid decides that they will feel they can be in one or fixtures. but premier league wise to make it all for they just have to keep winning and hope that manchester city drop points along the way. but it's relatively of a possibility for them. how easy or be we'll we'll just hav
