the arsenal which has been dominated times in the europa league, their victory against napoli or what would be the arsenal that has conceded the nine goals in the last premier the first 11 minutes or so we have the premier league arsenal but for the most of this match, we got the europa league arsenal. and again, i will reiterate, the advantage of having a partnership and attack, aubameyang and lacazette. it reminds me of the old days when i'm sure most teams used to do that kind of thing. indeed. it is the lead back prove fruitful tonight. thank you. chelsea have a crucial away goal after drawing one all with german side eintracht frankfurt. after an early setback, they recovered thanks to pedro‘s goal. patrick gearey reports. if you haven't heard much of ontrack frankfurt, once you see them, you will not forget the past. this club is built on bold, and the stands will reflect in their start. frankfurt went flying into chelsea, lu cca, frankfurt went flying into chelsea, lucca, the starstruck or steer them in front, queue thousands of rapidly overheating frank the mac supporters but gradually they lost steam, chelsea left their start eden hazard on the ben

premier league. he does not play and his natural position perhaps for chelsea but he has still done a great role in that forward role, he will be a loss. for arsenal cech has not played often in the premier league but he has played in most of the europa league games. he is highly expected to become a chelsea employee this summer. some arsenalfans thinking chelsea employee this summer. some arsenal fans thinking is that the game to put an end, particularly since he is not first choice keeper, but unai emery seem to indicate yesterday he had faith and respect for petr cech, he would give him the start. you could look at that conversation a different way. he was building him up, seeing we respect him, maybe he will not play. we will see. certainly, ithink him, maybe he will not play. we will see. certainly, i think he is going to chelsea, that is for sure. it will be a great game for him if this is his sendoff because he has been one of the great players in the premier league. it has been difficult to follow —— difficult for arsenal and chelsea supporters to get to baku but those who have been it to azerbaijan will make as much noise as they can. for

the europa league is overlooked in august and becomes a must win, in may. arsenal will probably come fifth in the premiers a bit like arsene wenger. and if you look at where the outstanding performances and results have come this season, they have been in the europa league for arsenal. defeating matt one. but in the league, they've had some big defeats, conceding nine goals in the last few matches. if anyone in european football understands the sip significance of the europa league it is unai emery, who made his name in this competition with three wins at sevilla. he is an expert on spanish football. he was also manager of valencia and had a decent record with them as well. what can we expect from valencia tonight, jerry? looking at the leaguer, valencia and sixth place, a bit off the pace. they do not concede many goals. they have a lot of draws. they've lost their last couple of games. some interesting and familiar names, not least francis coquelin, who for many years provided the bite on the arsenal midfield. he's back with valencia tonight. he says that arsenal is in his dna. some arsenalfans might w

arsenal's focus is now on the europa league according to their manager unai emery. the gunners hopes of a top—four premier were effectively ended by a 1—all draw with brighton. arsenal are three points behind tottenham in fourth with one game to play but would need an eight—goal swing, as well as results going their way, to overtake their rivals. we know it's going to be difficult, and that has happened. and after that, our focus is the republic, and we can do something important. chelsea secured their place in the champions league next season with victory over watford at stamford bridge. the win, combined with arsenal's draw against brighton, means the blues are guaranteed a top—fourfinish in the premier league. the win moves chelsea up to third, one point ahead of tottenham and four points clear of the fifth—placed gunners. they said at half—time that we were sloppy and giving the ball away. i think we had to press more aggressively and not give them too much time on the ball. we did that and we won the ball back in the half and we won the ball back in the half and put them under pressure. once we did t

this match that i'd come i think a lot of the arsenal fans thought this is the arsenal we have seen the last premier leaguere to put that into the net. and to give valencia that early lead. what have arsenal done this season? they have capped an attacking partnership. almost throughout. although the defence looked dodgy in the first half at times, continue to look dodgy, a bomb again could run with the ball and when he looked up, there was lacazette. there was the combination to make it 1—1 are important for the whole atmosphere of the evening for arsenal to get back into the game. and then a few minutes later, the valencia defence and loss lacazette once again. their header, lacazette was convinced across the line. it did take a bit ofa across the line. it did take a bit of a goal line technology to sorted out. they came through. that made it 11. we have been playing 25 minutes then. 2—1. —— 1—1. 11. we have been playing 25 minutes then. 2-1. --1-1. it 11. we have been playing 25 minutes then. 2—1. —— 1—1. it became 3—1 but we had to wait until the end of the game. this time it was the other half of the d

champions league qualifiction season's champions league — and arsenal's hopes of qualifying via the league appear all but over — on a dramtic afternoon in the premierur finish and on this showing, they can have no complaints. manchester united's hopes of champions league qualification ended with a whimper at huddersfield, although they began brightly, scott mctominay blasting them ahead with some help from the home keeper. but after the break, the ultimate sucker punch, a goal kick all the way through to isaac mbenza, who booted huddersfield level before booting the corner flag into smithereens. it summed up manchester united's day, in the words of manager come on, not good enough. arsenal's top four hopes are also all but over. they went ahead against brighton, with a penalty converted by pierre—emerick aubameyang. but they could not capitalise on their early lead and after the break they conceded a penalty of their own, granit xhaka was the culprit and brighton were level through glenn murray. arsenal had their chances to win but could not take them. they will now surely have to win the europa league this season in order to qualify for the champi

premier league. that is what we have to do. we are relaxed, training good, smiling a lot. the key to the date may be how well brighton play. they are safe from relegation but drew with arsenal last week and proved in the fa cup semifinal against manchester city that they can be difficult. it has become always thinking and doing what you have to do. you have to become crazy for it to happen in the last five or ten minutes but before that you need a plan and follow the plan. that is what we have done all season. the last time the premier league was decided on the final day of the season, sergio aguero snatched it for city in the last seconds. that seems under until this week. —— that seemed unrepeatable until this week. the scottish premiership was decided long ago but the third place is stillupforgrab, with a europa league place at stake and aberdeen moved into position tonight after a win over hearts. aberdeen‘s lewis ferguson scored first, before hearts equalised. but, ten minutes later, a cross from james wilson was met by greg stewart, who scored the second and final goal of the game. here's a quick look at some of the other stories around today. tranmere have a slender

premier league has become a lot clearer. chelsea have secured champions league football but it was a bad day for arsenal and manchester united next season after being held to a draw at bottom club huddersfield. 0le gunnar solskjaer says europe's second tier competition is the right place for united. he says he couldn't fault his players attitude and effort, but they just weren't good enough. we haven't deserved to be a top four. we have chased the pack. we have been given chances. the league is all tight. it's a good league, there's loads of good teams, and when we got the opportunities, we weren't able to really grab them, and today was just a confirmation of and today was just a confirmation of a long season. because in the end, the table doesn't lie. arsenal look to have blown their chance of champions league qualification through a top four finish, that's after they were also held 1—1 against brighton at home. glenn murray scored their equaliser from the spot. the gunners need an 8—goal swing on the final day to finish above spurs on goal difference in fourth which is unlikely, so they'll have try and qualify for the cha

arsenal and valencia. the spanish side have lost three of the last five, while the gunners have lost three in a row in the english premier leaguet season. they are a big team with a great history, and also with a lot of experience. to make this a semi—final i think is 50—50. watch out for more from caster semenya. the double olympic 800 metre champion is considering how to respond to the ruling that she has to take drugs to reduce her levels of testosterone. she arrived in doha for friday's diamond league meeting, but made no comment to reporters. semenya can run for the next week, but after that either take inhibitors or run longer distances, where she is said not to have the same advantage. the semi—finals of the world snooker championship start later in sheffield. judd trump is the favourite. a convincing win over steven maguire means he will face qualifier gary wilson. first up is four—time champion john higgins against david gilbert. cycling's most successful team of recent years competes again on thursday. team ineos, formerly team sky, is involved in the tour de yorkshire. team sky delivered six of the last seven tour de

premier league. that is what we have to do. we are relaxed, training good, smiling a lot. the key to the date may be how well brighton play. they are safe from relegation but drew with arsenalter city that they can be difficult. it has become always thinking and doing what you have to do. you have to become crazy for it to happen in the last five or ten minutes but before that you need a plan and follow the plan. that is what we have done all season. the last time the premier league was decided on the final day of the season, sergio aguero snatched it for city in the last seconds. that seems under until this week. formula one has moved—on to spain this weekend. and today's practise was dominated by mercedes again. championship leader — valterri bottas was just quicker than his team mate lewis hamilton. bottas is a point ahead in the drivers‘ standings after four races. mercedes performance in barcelona will have worried ferrari whose drivers are still yet to win a grand prix this season and charles leclerc could only manage third quickest ahead of sebastian vettel. tennis and simona halep is still on course to re—take the world number one spot. she's through to the final in

arsenal will be c? will it be the resolute, supremely organised team which knocked out napoli in the last round or the one that has conceded so many goals in the premier league. and they have a manager who made his name in the europa league. before then he was in charge at valencia and had a decent time there. valencia have been off the pace in the league, don‘t concede many goals, very cagey, a lot of doors. and eintracht frankfurt have been building up this game and have promised josie a raucous welcome. chelsea might be thinking this could be the last chance to win a trophy while they still have eden hazard in their team. while they still have eden hazard in theirteam. i‘m sure while they still have eden hazard in their team. i‘m sure that arsenal fa ns their team. i‘m sure that arsenal fans will be cheering on chelsea as they anticipate possibly an all london europa league final, just around the corner, in azerbaijan! joe wilson, thank you very much. that is all the sport for now. more on all those stories on the bbc sport website including news of jason hennessy winning today in cycling at the tour de yorkshire. today‘s report from the committee on clim
