hello and welcome along to the programme — and we start with the race for the premier league title, with arsenal now back on top again, after a 1—0 win over manchester united at old trafford. it was a game that failed to ignite — the two teams, so long rivals over the years, the goal that separated it. leandro trossard converting a kai havertz cross. arsenal back above manchester city then, by the finest of margins — just a point. but city with a game in hand. what a finale we could have come the final day. manchester united's season limps to a finish — they're currently eighth — and out of the european places as it stands. success for the manchester united women's side this afternoon, as they won the women's fa cup for the first time, their first major trophy, beating spurs 4—0 at wembley. our sports correspondent katie gornall was there for us. katie, talk us through the game and how it played out.

it really was, gavin, yes. it's winding down from the excitement now as well, we knew whatever happened on the pitch history was going to be made today and there would be a new name on the trophy. but as you say, many people expected it to be a little closer than it was and it was very one—sided. united obviously have experience of a final before, they've got the big game players for they've got the big game players for the big occasion, perhaps no—one more so then ellen tune, who scored an absolute screamer at half—time, she scored for england in the euros final, she absolutely loves playing at wembley and that set her team on their way. at wembley and that set her team on theirway. rachel at wembley and that set her team on their way. rachel williams who had been a danger in the air all game, doubled united's lead. and i suppose it really did start to unravel after that unfortunately for them. becky spencer who is usually so reliable with her feet made a mistake that

gifted united a third and then lucy a garcia who was fantastic all game, scored united's fourth. it was brilliant, brutalfrom them. and it's helped secure their first major piece of silverware. i think after they've underwhelmed in the ws outcome of this has saved their season but also mainly provided a platform for them to go on to bigger and better things and provide that chance for a new era and a breakthrough. well, let's hear now from the victorious manager marc skinner, on what the win meant for him and his team. it's a feeling, if i could bottle it it's a feeling, if i could bottle it i would keep it forever. not as important as kits though, my family are still more important. —— kids. it means a lot to me to produce for ourfans. me as it means a lot to me to produce for our fans. me as a it means a lot to me to produce for ourfans. me as a person, i'm quite humble and we showed all those values today, all the values of a manchester united team and for every manchester united team and for every manchester united team and for every manchester united fan in the world, that's for you. for

manchester united fan in the world, that's for vow— that's for you. for the team and united on _ that's for you. for the team and united on the _ that's for you. for the team and united on the whole, _ that's for you. for the team and united on the whole, this - that's for you. for the team and united on the whole, this is - that's for you. for the team and united on the whole, this is a i united on the whole, this is a really big win for them, isn't it? how important would it be for their future with this major trophy in the bag? i think that is an important question because there has been a lot of speculation around the future of their top stars, players like goalkeeper mary earps, she's been at the club for five years, there is speculation she could leave the club. they all hope that this win, the silverware perhaps persuades her to stay. her contract is up in the summer along with mark skinner, the manchester united manager. after the game today he was also asked whether he thought, given what happened, if mary earps would stay and he said "it helps me, mary and i have a great relationship, and of course i would love her to stay.". they want to build a team around her, they want to challenge more for the lead,

but mark skinner very much would think those talks could wait for now, they want to enjoy the greatest day in their history. now, they want to en'oy the greatest day in their history._ day in their history. thank you very much, day in their history. thank you very much. katie. _ day in their history. thank you very much, katie, for _ day in their history. thank you very much, katie, for that. _ a big day for teams on the hunt for promotion mum to the premier league today, with the first leg of the championship playoff semi—finals — leeds, norwich, west brom and southampton — all in action, looking to restore former glories. alex fletcher reports. to sides with premier league pedigree, experiencing playoff pressure. southampton with the first chance, kara walker peters not too far away. west brom were quick to respond. far away. west brom were quick to resond. .,, far away. west brom were quick to respond._ carlos - far away. west brom were quick to respond._ carlos kober l far away. west brom were quick to l respond._ carlos kober on respond. closing in! carlos kober on caettin respond. closing in! carlos kober on getting animated, _ respond. closing in! carlos kober on getting animated, the _ respond. closing in! carlos kober on getting animated, the ten _ respond. closing in! carlos kober on getting animated, the ten second i getting animated, the ten second half opened up, again causing southampton problems. but the visitor still looked dangerous on the counterattack.— the counterattack. stuart,

as the season comes to an exciting finale with two games left to play. and despite their advantage, they're not taking matters for granted. our mentality is nothing is going to be handed to us. we tried our very best to bring positive energy to the camp because it's been a long, hard season, and he plays a massive part in it. focus at getting the job done but what's really important is the energy we bring to every single session, we are tired, everybody knows we are tired but we have to keep going. glasgow city's chances of defending their title are over though, with rangers keeping pressure on celtic thanks to a 1—0 win. this from rachel maclauchlan was enough to seal a 1—0 win for the visitors. with just two games remaining and 76 points apiece, celtic are only ahead of rangers on goal difference. you got to take those moments, you are quite at it today, we was up against it with a few outside

factors. but you know, you take those moments and i said before the game, ask for some players to step up game, ask for some players to step up and be accountable and rachel was still out one there and stepped up with a great strike and get three points for us. real madrid have been parading the la liga trophy around the spanish capital today. it's their 36th league title, and they celebrated in madrid, despite having four more league games to go, and a champions league final to look ahead to against borussia dortmund next month. it's the second time their boss carlo ancelotti has won the spanish top flight title. lauren price says she is already aiming to unify the women's welterweight division, after winning the wba, ibo and rain magazine world titles in only her ibo and ring magazine world titles in only her seventh professional fight. price, who you might remember won gold at the tokyo olympics, is a former kickboxing world champion and international footballer. an accidental clash of heads in the fifth round saw champion mccaskill unable to continue

beyond the eighth. as a result the judges awarded price the win on points. i was an eight—year—old girl once and kelly inspired me for the olympics. if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. i said i had a great camp but this is years of dedication and hard work but if you put it in, you can achieve your dreams and achieve anything. london broncos have failed to put up much of a fight this season, but today, they have won their first match of the super league season, at the 11th time of asking. the broncos produced an assured performance at home to beat hull 34—18. they scored six tries, including this brilliant run from hakim miloudi from 20 yards inside his own half to allow alex walker to go over the line. broncos, despite victory, remain bottom of the table. in rugby union, gloucester hartpury were comfortable winners in the women's premiership. they beat loughborough lightning by 61 points to 26. nevejones with the try here that maintains gloucester�*s strong lead in the division,

driving in selected events this season, but this was his second consecutive win. his toyota team mate, britain's elvin evans could only finish sixth, but remains second in the drivers�* championship. to a shock in rome now, as mens world number one novak djokovic has been knocked out of the italian open in the third round by chilean alejandro tabilo. djokovic said he felt hampered by the after—effects of an accident where he was hit on the head by bottle this week. tabilo tookjust over an hour to win. lydia campbell was watching. novak djokovic she is a six time winner of the italian open, so these fans were expecting a routine victory up against the world's number 3200 ta below.

—— world 36, tabilo. soon he had the opening set wrapped up, his first time facing the world number one was going very well. unfortunately for djokovic, things didn't get much better in the second. more double fault early on, once again broken in the first game and the chilean was just too hot to handle for djokovic. * and he was serving to stay in the match. but the day finished exactly how it started — a fifth double fault for djokovic handing tabilo the biggest win of his career. lily campbell, bbc news. so while djokovic went out, there were no worries for aryna sabalenka in the women's draw. the second seed eased past dayana yastremska in straight sets to reach the last—i6. the 26—year—old, who labelled the event in rome as her "dream tournament" to win, equalled iga swiatek for the most wta—1000 wins since 2018 she will face either former champion elina svitolina

or anna kalinskaya next. dutch sprinter olav kooij produced a perfectly—timed finish to win stage nine of the giro d'italia in naples stage one winner jhonatan narvaez looked to have stolen victory but the ecuadorean was caught in the final 100 metres, as kooij claimed his first grand tour stage victory. britain's geraint thomas was involved in a crash before the run into naples, but recovered to finish among the peloton and remains in third place overall. great britain suffered an 8—0 defeat at the ice hockey world championship against second seeds finland. it follows a 4—2 opening loss to raining champions canada on saturday. the result has left britain bottom of their group ahead of their next match against switzerland on wednesday. there was an exciting finale to this year's badminton horse trials which had a particularly influential showjumping phase. the winner, new zealand's caroline powell achieved one of only two clear rounds, to move up from sixth place and clinch the sports biggest prize.

lizzie greenwood—hughes was there for us. this has just been the most extraordinary badminton, it went right down to the wire. all three phases of this equestrian triathlon have been influential in the show jumping, the final part, was particularly so. only two clear rounds, one of been by this lady, caroline powell. but we didn't see that coming, how do you feel about winning bandwidth and for the first time? ., , time? thought the third might be where we ended _ time? thought the third might be where we ended up, _ time? thought the third might be where we ended up, but - time? thought the third might be where we ended up, but to - time? thought the third might be where we ended up, but to win i time? thought the third might be where we ended up, but to win it| time? thought the third might be i where we ended up, but to win it was just amazing. she isjust where we ended up, but to win it was just amazing. she is just the just amazing. she isjust the most amazing here and i'm so proud of her. ., ., . ., amazing here and i'm so proud of her. ., ., ., ., i. her. how long ago did you win burnle , her. how long ago did you win burnley. how _ her. how long ago did you win burnley, how long _ her. how long ago did you win burnley, how long ago - her. how long ago did you win burnley, how long ago was i her. how long ago did you win i burnley, how long ago was that? 2010? it's been a long time since you've had a horse this good. as paris' around the corner, are you making a late bid to get on that? i don't know, she still got to go home and be sound and have a holiday and go back to work. it would be

preparation they normally would have done, we would normally have a briton in the first second or third place, but caroline powell as i say, for new zealand, is the winner here at this years badminton and as far as british writers are concerned paris is next, they will know who is selected to represent the country at the end ofjune, but that's it from me here at badminton. back to football now, and the shortlists for the premier league player, young player and manager of the year were released this week. a city player has won the award in each of the past four seasons, so will they make it five? well, the football news show looked at those nominated, and who may win the individual awards. the nominees for the end of season awards, michael brown has been mulling over them. let's talk about player of the season and a lots of good nominees. i5 player of the season and a lots of good nominees.— player of the season and a lots of good nominees. is anybody missing? there's always _ good nominees. is anybody missing? there's always somebody _ good nominees. is anybody missing? there's always somebody missing, i there's always somebody missing, isn't it? i don't feel at times the players at the bottom half of the premier league don't get recognition

they deserve because their team is not in that position so there will be many good performances lower down, even luton town saw some good performances as well, maybe some players would stand out, if you talk about issac getting better and better, rodrick would be one where you would say, why do we keep mentioning that when i carry on with these nominees, but declan rice has been incredible. and you saw what moya said about his team, they better run wonderful relation come, you know where i'm going with this, right? declan rice probably the stand out performer, maybejust right? declan rice probably the stand out performer, maybe just of what he's changed, but it's still foden. was he was brought is flair, he brought goals, brought assists, playing a different positions as well, by the way. notjust played

from the right, play central, play off the left, different performances, different positions. so i got to say some are missing but phil foden is obviously leading the way. phil foden is obviously leading the wa . �* , phil foden is obviously leading the wa. �*, . phil foden is obviously leading the wa. �*, ,,~u, ., , ., way. let's look at nominees for ounu way. let's look at nominees for young player _ way. let's look at nominees for young player of— way. let's look at nominees for young player of the _ way. let's look at nominees for young player of the season. i way. let's look at nominees for - young player of the season. michael, who nets young player of the season. michael, who gets your— young player of the season. michael, who gets your vote? _ young player of the season. michael, who gets your vote? you _ young player of the season. michael, who gets your vote? you seen - young player of the season. michael, who gets your vote? you seen that l who gets your vote? you seen that crossover which is really exciting about those young players in both categories. but you know, the stand up categories. but you know, the stand up for me has got to be cole palmer. i think the returning goals and the chelsea side that have been so inconsistent, i think it's that or about him. i knew he was going to be about him. i knew he was going to be a good player, when he started coming through at manchester city than to go to chelsea, matured so well in a difficult side and a wonderful go returner, all types of different goals. so a real special performance game. in a different goals. so a real special performance game.— performance game. in a where encland, performance game. in a where england. we've _ performance game. in a where england, we've got _ performance game. in a where england, we've got lots - performance game. in a where england, we've got lots of i england, we've got lots of competition in the euros this

way he's played come out the way he took his team on. jurgen klopp a sad ending when you thought about what he could have. i wonderful array of trophies, array of performances we've seen from him, he's going to be a sadness. still in the mix as always, the are to do, he's kicked that team on, to another level. he is certainly in the mix and then you go emory, how is he's managed to get aston villa into that top for champions league, i think that's a great return. european competitions, tottenham and really fire, just couldn't get them over the line, that's adopting with the squad game stronger and stronger. and is going to depend. you're asking me today if pep guardiola wins for and a row premier league titles, it's something that's based on success, and unfortunately for everybody else, you don't always win things that you possibly could have because if you've got a man in pep cordelia for in a row it's hard not to give

him the title if that's what he delivers. , ., �* ., ., delivers. if you're not giving it to emo , delivers. if you're not giving it to emory. but _ delivers. if you're not giving it to emory, but could _ delivers. if you're not giving it to emory, but could emory - delivers. if you're not giving it to emory, but could emory have i delivers. if you're not giving it to i emory, but could emory have done more this season to win the title? i don't think he could have done more. he was right into the level but unfortunately in an industry and a sport, performance—based, how can the person who has delivered for premier league �*s in a row not get manager of the season? i know you'll say we expected that from pep and his team and what he's done, but we've never seen that before, but ultimately unfortunately because it's the trophy, because it's the title, if he can do that that would obviously give him the nod and make a manager of the season. finally, just before we go — you may have seen sports stopped by dogs or cats running onto the field of play... but how about this? in a baseball game between the st lucie mets and bradenton pirates, a turtle made its way onto the pitch and halted play. they say slow and steady wins the race, but this turtle must have had turbo turned on, and tried to evade the outfielders,

before eventually being taken off the field safely. heroes return for him, i wonder how he got there in the first place. a reminder of our top story on sportsday, arsenal are back to the top of the premier league after beating manchester united 1—0 at old trafford. they're a point ahead of manchester city, who have a game in hand against tottenham on tuesday. let's hear from the man who scored arsenal's goal, leandro trossard. maybe it wasn't the prettiest game of ours, but credit to the guys, we defended so well and the answer is really, really important, we kept another clean sheet and you could see that one goal is what enough to win a game, especially here, we were

struggling a little bit but it's so nice to get the win. so from disappointment for manchester united's men, to elation for the women's team. a reminder, that they won the women's fa cup at wembley today, beating tottenham hotspur 4—0. the first time they've won that, but there's plenty more reaction to that over on the bbc sport website and the app at the usual addresses. that's it for me and the sports day team, thanks for watching and we'll see you again next time. hello. as the weekend draws to an end, so does the generally dry and very warm weather. storms have been breaking out across western parts of the uk

and that pretty much sets the scene for the week ahead. it's going to be more unsettled and not quite as warm. and this evening and overnight, an area of low pressure is approaching us and that spells rain for some of us on monday. but more recently, it's been about the storms and here are the lightning strikes on the satellite image, and see across northern ireland, south western parts of the uk and some thunderstorms breaking out across western scotland too. no storms further east or south. and through the evening we will have seen these storms, local downpours, flash flooding in places moving northwards and towards the east. but in some areas, we still have clear skies tonight. and guess what? i know that last night was disappointing, but tonight, if you're inclined to have a look, there is a chance of seeing a faint aurora almost anywhere in the uk, between around 11pm and 2am, if you're inclined to. i know we're going to work first thing. now, here's monday's forecast. so, we start the day with some hazy sunshine, temperatures 10—13 degrees.

outbreaks of rain with this weather front sweeping into cornwall, devon, wales through ireland into the irish sea, but never reaches — at least during the day — eastern parts of the country. here, some hazy skies and very warm — 23 in norwich, hull and also newcastle, much fresher with that cloud and rain towards the west. and it's a slow—moving weather front, they're about 15 celsius. and it's a slow—moving weather front, and one of the reasons is because this low pressure kind of stalled here. it's not really moving anywhere. so the weather front is rotating around and back into the center of the low, and that means that on tuesday, it's eastern areas that are stuck underneath the cloud and the outbreaks of rain probably not as persistent by that stage — bigger gaps in the clouds. i think by that stage, we have some sunny spells, but i think lower temperatures for all of us. and this is more or less bang on the average, be it a little on the high side still, i think for parts of scotland. now, that low will eventually kind

of rain itself out as we go through the week and the possibility of high pressure moving back in again. but i think overall, if we look at the weather icons, i think shower clouds most days, on—average temperatures, i think — in the south, typically in the high teens. that's it for me. thanks for watching.
