city's best moment in a goalless half carved out by raheem sterling and only denied by david de gea. but the champions have won ten league games for a reason. bernardo silva giving them the lead they craved. at this stage, manchester united was still in it, butjesse lingard then blew a golden chance to equalise, before substitute leroy sane extended city's lead. the manager all too aware that, once again, he should have done better. united, their hopes of a top four place in jeopardy. city back on top with what could prove a decisive win and the dream of retaining the title within touching distance. so, manchester city now back in front for what has been surely the most relentless title race in premier league history. neither city nor liverpool has lost since january.

and raheem sterling targeted at chelsea. chelsea players as well in the europa league game. also at grassroots, within short time players broke off the pitch this week and an amateur ethic —— cup final being suspended last week because of racism from the crowd. many in the game looking and saying that fans don't become racist as soon as they enter stadiums. is there a wider societal issue? that is not holding much stroke with the sports minister. she told parliament yesterday she wants to see more action from football's authorities and is expecting that in due course, in time for the new season. thank you. as concern grows over the impact the rubbish we throw away is having on the planet, authorities are trying to find ways to make waste disposal and recycling more efficient. lessons could be learned from one city in sweden, which sends very little domestic waste to landfill and has come up with a colourful way of sorting its rubbish. dougal shaw has been to find out more. rainbow coloured rubbish. this is the colourful waste created by a swedish city with a unique recycling

i know there are lots of campaigns, like kick out racism in football, but at this point when raheem sterlingng it out, more can be done. well said. thank you for your time, and thank you for your company here on the briefing. i will see you soon. hello. we've had plenty of downpour dodging to do over the last couple of days and some of what's fallen from the sky has even been a little wintry, with some cold air in place. the satellite picture shows these lumps of cloud just circulating around, right on top of the british isles, bringing those heavy downfalls, but the area of low pressure driving this turbulent weather is now sliding subtly westwards. so western parts of the uk will still see some rain throughout friday. but further east, something drier, and for all of us as the wind switches around to south—easterlies, some slightly milder air being pulled in our direction. so here's how it looks in a bit more detail through the day ahead. rain where we're closest to that area of low pressure, so across the south—west of england, wales, maybe the west midlands, and parts of northern ireland

the two standouts, a two horse race, and there are two reasons why i went with raheem sterling.up, especially having had a bit of stick, is nothing short of remarkable. —— umming and ahing. and also it is easy to be a defender and stop things...! also it is easy to be a defender and stop things. . .! laughter to the world snooker championships in sheffield next, wherejudd trump narrowly avoided another shock at the crucible. he was taken to a deciding frame by the world number 43 thepchaiya un—nooh, and the thai player then miscued at a crucial point, allowing trump to win the match. he'll play ding junhui in the next round and is the bookies' favourite to lift his first world title. three months after having major hip surgery we have an update on the fitness of andy murray. his mum judy says we could see him back on court this summer if everything goes to plan with his rehab. so far things are looking positive he has been back hitting a ball against a wall, hitting a little bit from a static position. so, still early days, and we have to wait and see how he does but i think he

manchester city have three footballers on the list — sergio aguero, raheem sterling, and bernardo silvaazard. difficult choice that. maybe it's just this week, but i think... he hasn't played that much because he was away for the cup. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. that is it for now. hello, thanks forjoining me. the warm easter sunshine is set to continue. today, the top temperature was 25 celsius for the first time since october. that sunshine may have been hazy in places, but most of us felt that warmth. and yes, that will continue for the rest of the easter weekend. clearly on the satellite picture, the further north you are in scotland, notjust more cloud around but rain and places, applying to the west of ireland as well. close to a weather system, as well. close to a weather system, as we go through the rest of the weekend, it will start to pull away westwards, bringing you back into the sunshine, particularly for easter monday. let's take a look at things through the rest of the night. we may well see some heavy bursts of rain coming through t

van dijk beat raheem sterling, bernardo silva, sergio aguero, sadio mane and eden hazard in the votemanchester city's raheem sterling and georgia stanway won the men's and women's young player prizes respectively. 0bviously obviously to win this award, for the players we play against, it is fantastic. i think it is the highest honour you can get, and really proud, really proud. so it is great to get recognition from other players, and obviously defending is as important as attacking. let's start with manchester city, because they are back on top of the premier league after a narrow 1—0 win at burnley. city did struggle to find the breakthrough, which came in the 63rd minute, when sergio aguero's shotjust about crossed the line. it was confirmed using goal—line technology. pep guardiola's side are now a point above liverpool, with two games remaining. if city beat leicester and brighton, they will retain the title. manchester united goalkeeper david de gea's form is in the spotlight once again after they were held to a 1—1 draw by chelsea. united took the lead at old trafford throuthu

well, raheem sterling has said something that a lot of players in my time, we all believed in. i going to stop playing football or am i going to do something which i primed myself to do from the moment i played my first game at seven? had i reached where i wanted to be? no, i wanted to go further, so i wasn't going to let anyone take that away. a lot of ba rca players anyone take that away. a lot of barca players are like that. —— matt black players. when i look at danny rose, i would say, black players. when i look at danny rose, iwould say, no, you black players. when i look at danny rose, i would say, no, you shouldn't be feeling that way, you are doing something you love to do, you should never feel that way and i found that a strange comment, to be perfectly honest. that the abuse that you say you received last week, it is the kind of thing that you got in the 19805. kind of thing that you got in the 1980s. this is britain in 2019, what do you think about the fact that, again, it is a minority but it doesn't really matter to you whether it isa doesn't really matter to you
