They broke into the exclusive church club of the Champions League places, and they are attacking there are attacking football one friends if not trophies. Last season they came closer than ever, losing to liverpool in the champion s league final. But the hangover has lasted nearly six months. Now, in a shiny new ground, spurs are 14th. Form has drained away. As early as the summer, there were signs that something was not right. May be the clu b something was not right. May be the club needs to change, you know . Because my job now club needs to change, you know . Because myjob now is to coach the team. I dont know, it is not a question for me.

The 2016 semi finalists wales took the last automatic qualification spot as they beat hungary 2 0 to book their place at next years European Championship finals. Both goals came from juventus midfielder aaron ramsey, who started for the first time in this campaign. 0ur reporter andy swiss was watching in cardiff. Well, qualification certainly hasnt been easy for wales. It has been some rollercoaster ride. But they have come good just when it mattered, particularly their big name players, aaron ramsey and gareth bale. Starting a qualifier together for the first time in two yea rs, together for the first time in two years, and they combined to stunning effect to put wales ahead. Bales cioss effect to put wales ahead. Bales cross and ramseys header putting them in the lead afterjust two minutes. Hungary did cause problems was the end of the first half, Wayne Hennessey forced into a couple of saves. Just after the break, aaron ramsey lashed home his second to put wales to happen zero up, and from there there was really no way back for hungary. So wales through to the European Championships for the second time in a row. What an achievement for manager ryan giggs.

And, after reaching the semifinals at euro 2016, the wales fa ns semifinals at euro 2016, the wales fans will be hoping that once again they can do something special. M fans will be hoping that once again they can do something special. It is up they can do something special. It is up there. It is, you know, one of the greatest notes of my life, simple as that. The lads have showed great determination, quality, never give up attitude, and they deserve all the plaudits they are going to get. Because, even though we had games to make up, there was no real room for error. So the concentration, and like i say, the quality that the lads have shown, you know, deserve it. Elsewhere, serge gnabry scored a hat trick as germany topped their group with a 6 1win over nothern ireland. Netherlands had to settle for second place, despite gini wijnaldums hat trick in a 5 0 win over estonia. Big wins for belgium and russia, too. So wales, as i said, take the final automatic qualification spot, meaning these are the 20 teams who have guaranteed their place at euro 2020. They all either won their group orfinished second. But there are still four places up for grabs, with 16 teams left to fight over them. They are going to be split into four groups of four teams on friday, when the draw takes place.

Former barcelona boss luis enrique is returning as spain manager, five months after stepping down to be with his family. He resigned injune and later announced that his nine year old daughter, xana, had died from bone cancer. He will replace robert moreno, who had previously said he would step aside if enrique ever wanted to return. Ealier we spoke to spanish football journalist ernest macia, who told us about the challenges spain need to overcome to return to the top of world football. Its always difficult, because some of these players are growing older. And there are other youngsters that have two make it. And this transition is always easy, because it not only implies to change the name of the players, but also the change of style. Enrique has shown that he can adapt to different styles of play. In barcelona it is more difficult, because you have the eye of barcelona which compels you to play in a specific sort of way, but in spain it will be easierfor him. And of course, the results will affect the situation in the future, but i think that macia has the potential to do a good job.

You can get all the latest sports news at our website, thats bbc. Com sport. But from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. Hello there. It was a very cold start to tuesday widespread frost up and down the country, particularly across scotland, far north of england. Now, for this morning, its not going to be quite as cold to start. Thats because weve had more of a breeze, and variable amounts of cloud too. Theres still a few chilly spots across the north east of the country, where a few clear spells linger. But further west, well have more of a breeze, and these weather fronts bringing thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain affecting parts of South West England through the day, maybe western wales, along some irish sea coasts, northern ireland, and affecting western scotland at times. There could just be the odd shower, as well, running into the eastern coast of england, perhaps into north east scotland, but most places will be dry. Variable cloud, some spells of sunshine. Again, another chilly day to come, maybe not quite as cold across western areas. More cloud here, ten or 11 degrees. Now, as we head to wednesday night, it says mainly dry again for much of the country. Variable cloud, quite a breeze blowing, so its not going to be quite as cold again, with lows down to 1 3 degrees. But generally, for many, fours and fives, and certainly a little bit milder than that further west, where we have the cloud and the rain. Thursday, a similar picture. Well continue with this weather front across western areas, bringing outbreaks of rain. The odd heavier burst towards the south west, but generally light and patchy elsewhere. Variable cloud, some sunny spells, and a bit more of that around on thursday. Temperature wise, again, single figures for most, but nines, maybe tens across the south. Some subtle change as we head on into friday. Looks like this weather front may push a little bit further north and eastwards across the country, so it could be a cloudier day still, with outbreaks of rain moving across Northern England into parts of scotland. Further south, we may see some sunshine developing, but a rush of heavier showers following on into friday afternoon, and into the evening, particularly in the south west. Temperatures coming up on the south, as well. Tens and 11 degrees quite widely. Still a cooler feel across the north, but even here, eight and nine. Then, as we head on into the weekend, looks like an area of low pressure will skirt southern parts of the uk. The weather front may spread northwards, introducing a band of rain, and then we look to the west. This next area of low pressure, which could bring more widespread wetter and windier weather as we head through the latter part of the weekend into the start of next week. But you will notice the orange colour is really taking over, so it really will be quite mild as we end the week, although it will be turning more and more unsettled, with rain spreading to many areas. It will be quite windy as well. Those temperatures reaching the low teens celsius, particularly across england and wales. Welcome to bbc news. Im mike embley.
