hello and welcome to sportsday with me gavin ramjaun. a touchline spat between mo salah and jurgen klopp, and two points dropped at west ham in another disappointing day for liverpool. sheffield united are the first team relegated from the top flight — they're thumped by newcastl, as their lacklustre season goes on. and england on the verge of a third successive grand slam at the women's six nations as they're up against france. hello there, and welcome along to the programme — after the midweek merseyside derby loss to everton, liverpool really had a job on their hands to stay in this premier league title race, and today, they did themselves no favours at all held

to a draw with west ham. the result leavesjurgen klopp�*s side two points behind leaders arsenal, having played a game more. and the tensions, potentially starting to show as nick parrott reports. the frustrating into liverpool's seasonis the frustrating into liverpool's season is becoming more apparent with every game. after losing to everton without scoring in midweek, the manager, juergen klopp, made five changes, mo salah was used as an impact sub guest west ham, but is this moment of the maps that he will be remembered for. it was already to all when the egyptian came on. in a dire first half, liverpool had more possession, but it was the hammers who struck first through jared bowen just before the interval. i half—time team talk did the trick, as andy robertson equalised soon after. liverpool could and should have run away with this match, but as so often has been the case this season, their shots were wayward and they found a goalkeeper rising to they found a goalkeeper rising to the occasion. he was credited with

this own goal, but he was hardly to blame for liverpool taking the lead. one of the few standout performers was bowen, the player of the match set up antonio to send west ham's fans delirious and liverpool's despondent. they've known for months that klopp is leaving, left wondering whether solo or others follow them out of the club. nick parrott, bbc news. afterwards in the post match press conference klopp wouldn't elaborate on what happened with salah on the touchline other than to say "we spoke about it in the dressing room and that is done for me." asked if salah was ok with it, klopp claimed: "that was my impression." however, when salah walked through the mixed zone at west ham and was asked to stop, he admitted: "there's gonna be a fire today if i speak." it's not always great, everton, especially not, other games have really good and they don't finish the situation, that is not cool, thinking this game can look

completely different if you lose. if you only use them, than it's already done, but it'sjust you only use them, than it's already done, but it's just how it is. we have to take it, it's not the first time. 75 points, i think, that we have now, so that's not bad. of course, still nine points to get, and we will try absolutely everything. the opponents are tough. we all know that. it's now a longer period to recover and i hope we can do that and we will try again. really pleased with what the players have done. i would've liked to have seen _ have done. i would've liked to have seen points — have done. i would've liked to have seen points. but showing the character_ seen points. but showing the character of that, going down when liverpool— character of that, going down when liverpool were heavily on top of the time, _ liverpool were heavily on top of the time, stuck — liverpool were heavily on top of the time, stuck at it, didn't buckle. give _ time, stuck at it, didn't buckle. give us — time, stuck at it, didn't buckle. give us a — time, stuck at it, didn't buckle. give us a great chance of getting back _ sheffield united have been relegated from the premier league, after a heavy defeat at stjames park to newcastle united.

5—1 the score. they gave themselves some hope of maintaining their stay for a while longer after taking the lead... but two goals from alexander isak, with callum wilson coming off the bench to score for his first top flight goal since october, capped off a miserable day on the whole for the blades. we've not been good enough, the league has been too powerfulfor us right away through the season, possibly epitomising in one game how it has been for a lot of the games. our inability to defend, her inability to put teams to bed, our inability to put teams to bed, our inability to put teams to bed, our inability to last the 90 minutes has come. as i said, it's a really good football club. everybody understands that. it's been a really poor season and we have to own that. have time was a big moment. we had to regroup _ have time was a big moment. we had to regroup what was a difficult first half _ to regroup what was a difficult first half. sheffield united played well. first half. sheffield united played weii~ as— first half. sheffield united played well. as we knew they would. they are fighting for their lives, premier— are fighting for their lives, premier league survival, we knew they would — premier league survival, we knew they would come here and have a right— they would come here and have a right to _ they would come here and have a right to go — they would come here and have a right to go at us. it's not going to be easy, —

the team — was impeccable, the sacrifice for the team was impeccable, and old trafford _ the team was impeccable, and old trafford is — the team was impeccable, and old trafford is always a tough place to come _ trafford is always a tough place to come to, — trafford is always a tough place to come to, so — trafford is always a tough place to come to, so we will take the positives _ come to, so we will take the positives from this game and hopefully we can keep our momentum --oin hopefully we can keep our momentum going with _ hopefully we can keep our momentum going with three games, two being a turf more _ a late goal from crystal palace too kept their unbeaten run going — jeffrey sclupp�*s equaliser came five minutes from full time, in their game away at fulham. rodrigo muniz put fulham ahead shortly after half time. palace, now four matches unbeaten in the league. and luton could be in real trouble too — after their loss to wolves this afternoon. hwang hee—chan and joao gomes fired wolves in front at molyneux — a late carlton morris goal gave luton some hope — but in the end not enough for them. they're still in the bottom three, butjust a point behind nottingham forest who play tomorrow. wolves end a six—game winless run. two more matches to update you on — aston villa in 4th take on chelsea in the late game. and it's into the second half — at goodison park, as everton look to secure their safety in the top flight, with against brentford. it's been a good week for sean dyche's side, having beaten rivals liverpool midweek... 0—0 against brentford at the moment.

everton could jump a place above brentford in the table, with a win. so let's take a look at how that leaves the table — we'll start at the top. and arsenal and manchester city can put more distance between themselves and liverpool tomorrow — after the reds dropped points against west ham. newcastle are just a point behind manchester united in sixth — as they chase a european spot. and at the bottom — confirmation of sheffield united, back in the championship next season. trouble for burnley and luton too, as the end the season edges closer, withjust three games to go for them. in the championship — another drama filled day — with ramifications at the top and bottom. ipswich could go second later, if they can beat hull in the late kick off. in the rest of the day's games. norwich drew 2—2 with swansea to keep themselves in the frame for the playoffs. they take advantage of west brom's slip up against sheffield wednesday the home side winning 3—0, a massive boost for their chances of staying in the division.

birmingham drew 1—1 with huddersfield. and a blow for plymouth too — losing to millwall. also wins for bristol city, middlesbrough, stoke and watford. so at the top of the championship. leicester were promoted last night — after leeds were beaten, as mentioned ipswich can go second later — their opponents hull have eyes on the playoffs though. southampton will finish fourth. norwich and west brom at the moment make up the top six. at the bottom — birmingham and huddersfield remain in the bottom three following their draw. blackburn, sheffield wednesday and plymouth are also in a fight to stay up too. tensions at the bottom of the championship then — derby county will be back in the second tier next season, after sealing their promotion from league one today, on the final day of the season.

they only needed only a draw against the division's bottom side carlisle united, to end their two—year stay in league one. max bird and james collins with the goals in a 2—0 win, as theyjoin portsmouth in the championship next season. bolton, peterborough, oxford united and barnsley will contest the playoffs early next month. stjohnstone remain in a scottish premiership relegation battle after hibernian comfortably brushed them aside 3—1. levein's side remain tenth, a point ahead of ross county — who lost to bottom side livingston — while hibs stay seventh. aberdeen defeated io—man motherwell at pittodrie by a single goal to leapfrog their opponents into eighth place and move closer to safety. elsewhere, hearts avoided defeat against kilmarnock for the fifth time this season after a goalless draw at rugby park. staying in scotland, rangers are the first tam through to the final of the women's scottish cup after beating glasgow rivals celtic 2—0 at hampden park. it took until the 83rd minute for rangers to make the breakthrough. chelsea cornet heading in from a corner and just five mins later, they sealed the victory thanks to this lob over the keeperfrom kirsty howatt. revenge for rangers then, after losing to celtic in the final last season. hearts play spartans in the other semi final tomorrow.

chelsea are in action in the second leg of their women's champions league semifinal against barcelona and were looking to hold on to a narrow advantage from the first leg... but aitana bonmati — the ballon d'or winner — has levelled the aggregate score with her first half strike. and its game on at a sold out stamford bridge. we'll have updates on that one the score currenty 1—1 on aggregate and they are under way in the second half. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today.. several crashes made it a spectacular sprint race at moto gp�*s spanish grand prix injerez. world champion francesco bagnaia was one of the early fallers. six—times champion marc marquez started from pole, crashed while leading, but recovered to finish seventh. horgay marteen claimed the victory in front of his home fans. rafael nadal got his first win over a top 20 player in 527 days as he defeated alex de minaur in straight sets at the madrid open. he'll face argentinian pedro cachin in the third round. nadal said this week he'll only play at the french open next month

tough, but as an off—road runner, he is prepared for a hard slog. that's all from sportsday. a quick reminder of the ongoing football at the moment. everton are a go up against bradford in the premier league. chelsea aston villa to come a bit later on as well. chelsea against barcelona and the women's champions league final, it is 1— women's champions league final, it is 1- 02 women's champions league final, it is 1— 02 barcelona at the moment at stamford bridge. also england have won the women's six nations. keep up to date with all of that on our website. but that is all from us here. we will see you again soon. hello there. it certainly has been a saturday of contrasts across the country. we started off grey and wet across southern england. the rain petered out to a blanket of cloud and drizzle. a lot of cloud across wales, the midlands, for much of the day. further north it was a different story. sunny spells and scattered showers but escape those showers,

a beautiful afternoon in fife, as you can see. we have more heavy rain though arriving through the night tonight. it is across the south. that rain — some of it really quite intense — will gradually drift its way steadily north and east as we go through sunday. once again a day of contrasts because the rain will continue to move its way out of the midlands, up into the north—east of england and eastern scotland. west will certainly stay drier and brightest for longest. into the afternoon we should see an improving picture across much of england and wales. sunny spells, a few scattered showers, and temperatures peaking at around 13 degrees. it will be windy on those exposed east coasts. sheltered western areas clinging onto some glimpses of sunshine. a little more cloud generally and the rain still quite heavy and persistent, with gusts of wind across the east coast of 40—50 miles an hour. that makes the eight degrees in aberdeen feel pretty disappointing. that low eases away. the isobars squeeze together.

it stays blustery into monday. on the whole a relatively quiet start to the working week. temperatures to greet us first thing — we are looking at around 2—6. it will be dry, there will be some sunshine coming through early on. breezy but a southerly wind will make it start to feel just that little bit milder, particular in the sunnier moments. here is the low moving into northern ireland and perhaps clouding over across western coastal fringes as we go through the day. temperatures in the sunshine should peak at 16 degrees. starting to feel a little better. tuesday, final day of april, could actually see a little more warmth. we have still got this low pressure out to the south—west. because the winds are circulating around that low we are tapping in to a milder south—easterly. that is driving in some warmth from the near continent and you really will start to notice the difference. for our final day of april, yes, it is likely that we could see temperatures peaking in one or two spots into the high teens. there will be some showers around but a little bit quieter and a little bit warmer

than of late.
