Hello and welcome to the programme on another busy day but we start at wembley where Manchester City have got their hands on yet another bit of silverware. They beat aston villa in the final of the league cup to win it for the third year in a row. Natalie pirks is there for us this evening. There was a lot of talk about the fa ct there was a lot of talk about the fact that this was very much Manchester Citys for the taking, but villa did put up a fight, didnt they . They really did, and there is a sense from the fans who are streaming away towards the tube that they were in this game for the first 19 minutes, they really took the game to city, and they have almost set upa game to city, and they have almost set up a permanent home here, their 16th visit in ten seasons, going for the hat trick of consecutive wins in this trophy, but villa really were in the game, and a diving header in the second minute from our ghazi almost gave them a perfect start. But it was sergio aguero, a defence splitting pass landed to phil foden, knocked down to aguero, and he really is aston villas nemesis. His tenth goal against them in six starts. And then just ten minutes later, it was really quite poor, soft defending, really, from a corner that meant rodrigo got ahead. Dean smith was furious, the villa manager, he was remonstrating, as was tyrone mings, and i think replays will back them up on that, but of course var doesnt look at that kind of thing. They felt it shouldnt have been a corner and therefore wouldnt have been a goal. But really it was villas defending that was a problem for that corner. Just before half time when that sense of inevitability was creeping m, sense of inevitability was creeping in, it was citys turn to stumble, stones with the slip. That brilliant diving header to make it 21, that brilliant diving header to make it 2 1, and the second half got a bit testy, Raheem Sterling had a couple of issues and picked up a yellow card, and that there was a two footed tackle on aguero that could have been a red, it was off the ground, and said he didnt like that at all. Villa were just millimetres, three minutes from time, from making it 2 2 and going to extra time, but bjorn engels, a great save, just tip it onto the post, that was that. I think in the end of city did show their strength and it was the right result, but villa can really walk away from here with their heads held high today. And i can hear some of the celebrations going on behind you at wembley. Natalie pirks, thank you for the moment. On to the premier league then. And at goodison park a couple of goalkeeping howlers allowed both goals in a 1 1 draw between everton and Manchester United. The hosts had a late winner ruled out, which left manager Carlo Ancelotti seeing red. Literally. Adam wild was watching. If the premier league is already a race amongst the also rans, here we re race amongst the also rans, here were everton and Manchester United jostling for position. Its about being on the right place at the right time, that is where Dominic Calvert lewin made sure he was, making his own luck with little help from david geyers misfortune. Still just minutes played, plenty of distance left to run, uniteds fightback coming from distance too. Nemanja matic tested from range, and his impact has been a swift and it has been uplifting. A second half of few chances, Gylfi Sigurdsson came close for a free kick before the final mad scramble. First united went close, denied byjordan pickford. He celebrated like that won, and moments later they thought they had. The ball in the net, but var ruling the everton player in the wrong place at the right time. Carlo ancelotti was given a red card after the final whistle. But the also rans we re the final whistle. But the also rans were still running their own defence. I asked an explanation, they sent me off. I wanted to keep they sent me off. I wanted to keep the conversation private, ifelt they were going to take a decision, but sometimes you can be right and sometimes you can be wrong. Any complaint of this, we are satisfied with the performance, and this can give us more confidence, that we can compete with these teams. Its a bad start, but then great reaction by everyone. We wanted the ball, we took the game to them, played in their half, created chances and got the goal we deserved. Are you a fan of var . I dont know. Its hard to say. I wouldnt mind living with the human errors. Just one other premier league game today. Rauljimenez with the win for wolves as they came from behind twice to beat spurs 3 2. That win moves them back above spurs and boost their hopes of earning a Champions League spot. We are firing on all fronts now, so we have opportunities to do something special. We have a home game next week, and we will adversely go and try and win that and win as high as we can. 0ur adversely go and try and win that and win as high as we can. Our goal is to finish, try to get the season unbeaten and see where it takes us. You would have to be ruthless against teams like wolves that played fantastically well in counterattack. We we rent. Played fantastically well in counterattack. We werent. And i think we deserved much more than this result. Elsewhere. Celtic have moved a step closer to successfully defending their scottish cup title. Theyre through to the semi finals after beating stjohnstone1 0 Ryan Christies free kick nine minutes from time enough to secure the win. Its celtics 34th successive victory in domestic cup competitions. Coronavirus has been affecting sporting events across the world. The paris Half Marathon was cancelled as a precaution.

In the end it was a thumping victory nat sciver starring with the bat yet again her third half century of the tournament helping them to a 46 run win. Jo currie was there. So we now know three of the four semifinalists in this t20 world cup. India were already through, and we can add england and south africa to the last four. England came through against the west indies, they won the toss and put themselves into bat. Danny wyatt made 29, amyjones 23, but it was nassif who once again shone, making another half century. She is now very much cementing her place as one of the top players, and she is now that top run scorer so far in this world cup. So nat sciver helped england to win, not bad on a slow wicket. The west indies innings got off to a difficult start after they lost taylor to an injury. She had to be stretchered off with what looked to be a groin problem, but to be fair the west indies but is didnt put up much resistance as england bowled them all out for 97 to get themselves through to the semifinals.

What we do know, the 26 Team Champions are now out, the 28 runners up Team Champions are now out, the 28 runners up 2018 runners up are through, largely thanks to a nat sciver innings.
