commentator: and it is 12 i premier league wins in a row for manchester city. but then had slip ups — liverpooljust 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 riv

stand—in steffen comes unstuck, as manchester city lose to liverpool in the fa cup semifinal. city's women do make it through, the three—time winners beating west ham. while in scotland, hearts beat hibs in the edinburgh derby to make the scottish cup final. and we'll round up the champions cup action, where there was agony for quins and marcus smith as they exit the competition. you are very welcome along to sportsday this saturday evening. the quadruple is still on for liverpool. they are through to the final of the men's fa cup after a thrilling 3—2 win over manchester city at wembley. the top two sides in england played out a tense draw in the premier league last week — but in this one, liverpool were 3—0 up at half—time and looked to be cruising to victory until city mounted a comeback. 0ur reporter matt graveling was at wembley for us. it was a frantic final few minutes for liverpool, and age —— opened the scoring in the first ten minutes. -- opened the scoring in the first ten minutes-_ -- opened the scoring in the first ten minutes. and then an absolute h

for all manchester city's triumphs and trophies, there is one thing they can't sing about yet — being european champions. we are confident, aren't we? 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 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.

manchester city are heading back to the top of the premier league. city lead to— zero at elland road, that is all from sportsday. a case of two extremes today. in the western isles of scotland, a case of heavy rain, breezy conditions. not very pleasant at all. across more southern parts of the uk, sunshine with them hazy skies. we do need the rain, it has been an incredibly dry april. and that rain is welcome across many parts of the uk, especially england and wales where rainfall amounts have been perhaps a third compared to what we should normally have this time in april. here are the temperatures early on sunday morning, typically around 7—10 c. the damp and cloudy weather will be with us on sunday, so a few were hoping for some sunshine on sunday it is probably not going to be the case. it will be a generally overcast day. we do need the rain, it will be spreading into parts of wales and england, particularly western and south—western areas. as the day goes on, that rain will fizzle out. not a lot at all across eastern parts of england. the

and in tonight's champions�* league matches, manchester city get one past atletico madrid to win the first leg of their quarterfinal. stay with us on bbc news for continuing coverage and analysis from our correspondence in the uk and around the world. good evening from the ukrainian capital kyiv, where president volodymyr zelensky says russia has committed the worst war crimes since 1916. during a graphic address to the united nations, he accused vladimir putin's forces of creating "mass starvation" and shooting and raping civilians. it comes after images emerged from the town of bucha in recent days following the retreat of russian forces showing bodies of civilians lying in the streets and mass graves. moscow says the pictures shown by the world's media are staged and fake and that no civilians suffered any kind of violence while russian forces were in control of the area. president zelensky is also warning that the number of dead in kyiv�*s other surrounding towns and villages like borodyanka could be even higher. police there say they believe hundreds of people are buried benea

disappointment for arsenal but they now face manchester city in the final and the chance to successfully defend the 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 su

seven changes also for manchester city from the draw in madrid. three of their back five aren't first choice players. goalkeeper zack steffen starts for pep guardiola's side. kevin de bruyne is on the bench after picking up a knock in midweek. manchester city are through to the women's fa cup final after a comfortable 4—1win over west ham. ellen white gave city the lead reacting quickly after this strike hit the bar. lauren hemp sealed the win in stoppage time with her second goal of the game. city will now head to wembley to try to win the trophy for a fourth time. they'll play either chelsea or arsenal in the final. i think when i was growing up we never really had, i never saw the stars of today playing at wembley so for us it is unbelievable. to see the young girls at the games and other city fans, you can hear them now, it is an unbelievable feeling, it is a special feeling for everyone and we are all really looking forward to it now we have got the win. in the premier league, spurs missed the opportunity to go six points clear in fourth af

for all their recent success, manchester city have never won the champions league, and atletico madrid were out to frustrate them again. for the first half, 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 sig

and in the champions league, a tense night for liverpool and manchester city as each battle for a place in the semi—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

after a poor first half, it was the away side who took the lead — former manchester city striker kelechi ihearnacho with the diving header. 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

for manchester city's players, the very warmest of welcomes. flares outside the etihad, and flags inside it, as they hoped to bring their champions league dream another step closer. but against the mighty real madrid, could they? well, how's this for an answer? barely 90 seconds gone, and kevin de bruyne ramped up the decibels. what a sensational start! and it was about to get even more sensational. the visitors dithered, gabrieljesus didn't, and it was 2—0. real were on the ropes. but city couldn't quite finish them off. they spurned a string of chances, to their manager's obvious frustration, and real made them pay. karim benzema giving them fresh hope after a breathless first half. gets one back. surely the second half couldn't match it? think again. barely had phil foden made it 3—1 to city when viniciusjunior made it 3—2. it was all as frantic as it was fantastic. next up, bernardo silva brilliantly restored city's two—goal advantage, before one final twist. handball, a real penalty, which benzema converted in the most impudent fas

but manchester city are still a point clear at the top — after a 2—0 win against burnley at turf moor. it was a comfortable 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 parad

now that could pose a challenge for liverpool and manchester city fans planning to travel to wembley tomorrow for their fa cup semifinal. the work has to be done at some time. adam has multiple sclerosis and has decided not to travel to the match. at the start of the season, most sensible people will have said two of the best teams in the country are liverpool and manchester city. so there was a fairly good chance that one, if not both, of those teams would get into the fa cup semifinal. the fa cup semifinal is pretty much always this weekend and yet there's all these rail works going on. network rail says 95% of its services will be unaffected by planned engineering work this weekend. as ever, the advice is to check yourjourney before you set off. tim muffett, bbc news. it's been confirmed that the duke and duchess of sussex met the queen at windsor yesterday, afterflying into the uk. prince harry and meghan are now in the hague, in the netherlands, for the start of the invictus games. the couple hadn't been in the uk together since they stepped down as senior royals more than two y

for manchester city's players, the very warmest of welcomes. flares outside the etihad, and flags inside it, as they hoped to bring their champions league dream another step closer. but against the mighty real madrid, could they? well, how's this for an answer? barely 90 seconds gone, and kevin de bruyne ramped up the decibels. what a sensational start! and it was about to get even more sensational. the visitors dithered, gabrieljesus didn't, and it was 2—0. real were on the ropes. but city couldn't quite finish them off. they spurned a string of chances, to their manager's obvious frustration, and real made them pay. karim benzema giving them fresh hope after a breathless first half. gets one back! surely the second half couldn't match it? think again. barely had phil foden made it 3—1 to city when viniciusjunior made it 3—2. it was all as frantic as it was fantastic. next up, bernardo silva brilliantly restored city's two—goal advantage, before one final twist. handball, a real penalty, which benzema converted in the most impudent fas

so with manchester city to play tomorrow... liverpool are the first to walk the title tightrope this week... the bbc�*s football correspondent john murray is at anfield to commentate on the match for radio slive. alongside former scotland internationalemes mcfadden it is the fixture that's always one of the highlights of any season and acting significant because of what happened at old trafford earlier this season where it was we had never seen anything like that before. the only time that any team in this fixture has 15—0 away from home. it is what's tied up in this match tonight but there's also the carry—over from that as well. it’s carry-over from that as well. it's never nice _ carry-over from that as well. it's never nice to _ carry—over from that as well. it�*s never nice to lose the arrivals at home and the manner in which manchester united lost to try and make up for that. also trying to put a dent in the title hopes so it's always an interesting game but i think because of how far ahead liverpool are it's

manchester city and liverpool are both into the semifinals of the champions league after getting the results they needed to reach the last four. liverpool were held three all by benfica at anfield, but go through 6—4 on aggregate whilst manchester city battled hard for a 0—0 draw at atletico, ensuring they progressed 1—0 after their 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 guardi

but first up is the other semifinal between west ham and manchester city tomorrow. west ham will be looking to make their first cup final since 2019, where they lost to city at wembley in their first season as a professional side. great britain has the chance of qualifying for the finals of the billiejean king cup. they're in action against czech republic today and tomorrow, with the best of five matches across the two days. the czech republic won the opener — marketa vondrousova with a comprehensive win over harriet dart. but on her first professional match on clay, world number 12 emma raducanu battled back, beating tereza martincova in straight sets. this one means so much to me because it's my first match in the billie jean king cup and to represent my team and come out here on a clay court, my first professional match on clay, is amazing. we are still in this battle and it's all to play for tomorrow. in the super league, leaders st helens beat wigan 22—a. mark percival crashed over with their final try to secure a derby victory and keep their place at the t

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

well, manchester city will be back on top if they beat brighton tomorrow. speaking before liverpool's win, city manager pep guardiola said his side will play every game as if it's a cup final. we are going to play every game to have an opportunity to play another one, another one until the end. we are going to challenge until the end. we are going to fight, that is for sure, end. we are going to fight, that is forsure, untilthe end. we are going to fight, that is for sure, until the end. end. we are going to fight, that is forsure, untilthe end. we end. we are going to fight, that is for sure, until the end. we try to play good and get good results. we try to play good and get good results. the scottish premiership is to introduce var as clubs overwhelmingly voted to implement the technology next season. it's understood out of 42 clubs — only one was opposed. the vote means it will be installed at every premiership ground over the coming months, with a full launch expected following the conclusion of the world cup in december. world heavyweight champion t
