david ornstein and, bbc news, wembley. people questioned us. but it isa wembley. people questioned us. but it is a difficult time so you can be divided in what is natural inclination, or you can be united. and today we have shown the right response and stayed together. celtic are just one win away from their first domestic treble in 16 years after they beat their old firm rivals, rangers, 2—0 to reach the scottish cup final. they've already wrapped up the league title and the scottish league cup this season, and after only ten minutes, callum mcgregor put them ahead. scott sinclair was able to double their lead with this penalty in the second half, the third goal he's scored against rangers this season. celtic will face aberdeen in the final next month. there were two games in the premier league today. third—placed liverpool lost at home to crystal palace 2—1 philip coutinho put the hosts ahead with a great free kick, but two goals by former liverpool forward christian benteke gave palace the victory and eases their relegation worries considerably. they are

there is a mass of boxing match in wembley tomorrow night. klitschko versusjoshua. 0ne is a7, night. klitschko versusjoshua. 0ne is 47, 41, night. klitschko versusjoshua. 0ne is a7, a1, the other is 27 and they are both very big man. i would not wa nt to ta ke are both very big man. i would not want to take a punch from either of them. klitschko, he is a class act. it is an unpopular view in britain. joshuais it is an unpopular view in britain. joshua is a national hero, olympic gold medallist. he is to stone heavier than his normal fighting with and as lennox lewis who fought his last fight a lot heavier against klitschko's elder brother would point out, that is a strange position to go into a fight. my instinct is klitschko will screw them. i hope not. of course i cheer for the brit, but my instinct is klitschko is a classy act, a conservative boxer who can stand off. all the pressure is onjoshua. supportjoshua off. all the pressure is onjoshua. support joshua but off. all the pressure is onjoshua. supportjoshua but have a fiver on klitschk

for both sides, wembley way is a path well trodden. no team has won this competition more than arsenal. few fa ns this competition more than arsenal. few fans demand more success than theirs. this is the last chance for silverware. that is true for manchester city as well. pep guardiola's side found the best first chance. david silva going first. city got the ball across the line not once but twice here to be crucially, it did not cross the line here as well. the goal was ruled out. city were rightfully annoyed. there was no doubt about their recall when it eventually arrived. sergio aguero finally found the space, finishing as we have all come to expect. but this is a competition that has now taken on an even greater significance. arsenal not only want it but needed. they found a way back. both sides now have a chance to win. yaya toure could not have gotte n chance to win. yaya toure could not have gotten much closer. just moments later, fernandinho saw his effort rebound from the goal. as you would expect, it would take more time to
