rivals nottingham forest 2—0. but the result left forest fuming and the fa are investigating after the club posted an incendiary social media statement. forest posted "three extremely poor decisions "three penalties not given — which we simply cannot accept. "we warned the pgmol that the var is a luton fan "before the game but they didn't change him." there's been no response yet from the pgmol, who are in charge of officiating in the premier league. it is a very decision. very poor decision of var and it is happening to us over and over again. it is difficult to tell the players to ignore and keep going because it is very clear. as a club we made a formal complaint saying that we would like to change the var situation. they did not do it and then to say so it is not good.

two wins out of three, two clean sheets. that is an important factor because sometimes we forget they were giving everything to carry— they were giving everything to carry themselves today. they had a — carry themselves today. they had a lot _ carry themselves today. they had a lot more chances than we had a lot more chances than we had today— had a lot more chances than we had today but we had two goals and that — had today but we had two goals and that was pleasing. everton play liverpool next who'll be boosted by winning at fulham today to keep alive their title hopes. trent alexander—arnold put liverpool ahead with a superb curling free—kick, and after fulham levelled it, they forged ahead again with two more goals including one from ryan gravenberch — his first premier league goal. liverpool are now level on points with arsenal who lead on goal difference. of course we want to stay in that race. it is clear. for that we have to win football games obviously. obviously last night arsenal, winning at will.
2:47 am
it was clear and i don't exactly i think it was a wake—up. have their game in hand so they will win that game so we know we have to win football games and that is what we try. elsewhere in the premier league, there were wins for aston villa, who are on course for a champions league spot. and crystal palace, who are surely safe now after thrashing west ham. there'll be an all—glasgow scottish cup final after rangers beat hearts 2—nil to set up the first rangers v celtic scottish cup final for 22 years. real madrid have extended their lead at the top of la liga to 11 points after a thrilling el classico. it was 2—2 at the bernabeu until the 9ist minute whenjude bellingham smashed a late winner for real into the top corner of the barcelona net. the result puts them firmly on track to reclaim the league title with just six games left to play this season. new bundasliga champions, bayer leverkusen, are still unbeaten, but only just. they needed a stoppage—time equaliser

byjosip stanisic to draw 1—all at borussia dortmund. if leverkusen can keep their unblemished record for the remaining 4 games, they'll be the first team to do it in the german league's history. a record number of people took part in the london marathon with around 50,000 finishing today. and there was also a record broken in the women's elite races with kenya's peres jepchirchir setting a new women's time as she stormed to victory. she crossed the line in two hours, 16 minutes and 16 seconds to break the record by 45 seconds. in the men's, alexander mutiso munyao made it a kenyan double, beating the legendary kenenisa bekele. the british duo of emile cairess and mahamed mahamed finished third and fourth which qualifies them for the olympics. it has been a lot for me.

last year i was great but unfortunately i did not win. this year i am so so happy. max verstappen is powering towards a 4th consecutive formula one world title — already leading the drivers�* championship by a huge margin — this time winning the returning chinese grand prix. starting from pole position, the red bull driver finished in shanghai ahead of mclaren�*s lando norris and verstappen�*s teammate sergio perez. he's already 25 points clear at the top of the drivers�* standings after four wins from the season's first five races. this track is very heavy on the tyres so you still managing around that to make this thing work. but, it was an incredible weekend where it was really enjoyable. enjoyable to drive a car. american nelly korda has won the first women's major of the year — the chevron championship.
2:50 am
she finished 2 shots ahead of the chasing field at the woodlands in texas and has becomes one of only 3 players to win five consecutive lpga events. some tennis now and casper ruud earned arguably the biggest tournament victory of his career after beating stefanos tsitsipas in straight sets to win the barcelona 0pen. a week ago ruud had lost to tsitsipas in the monte carlo final, but this time, it was the norwegian�*s turn and he took the first set on a tie—break. the second was more straightforward and ruud took it 6—3. it's his first atp title of the season after losing out in three finals. any time you reach a final it is nonetheless a good week. can't be too hard on yourself. this one has been a long time coming and super happy to be able to do it here in barcelona in front of a packed stadium today and rafa nadal court is special to me as i looked up to him all my childhood and came here myself as a 13—year—old
2:51 am
boy to watch him and the others play here. so, a great feeling. today, it felt like ijust did not have the mental capacity to even fight. even if i wanted to push myself to fight i felt like casper wasjust too good today. he had a fresher mind, better tennis and he deserved to win. so, what do you do if you've just won a big tennis tournament and hundreds of thousands of dollars? you jump into the nearest swimming pool of course! and it looks like all the ballboys and ballgirls followed, let's hope they remembered to leave their phones on the poolside. finally, there could be another shock exit in the first round of the world snooker championship because mark selby is in big trouble. the four—time world champion is trailing qualifier joe 0'connor by 7 frames to 2 at the crucible. 0'connor, who's 30th in the world, only needs three frames to reach the last 16 when the match resumes on monday.
2:52 am
meanwhile, former championjudd trump said he was just happy to get through his first game after beating iran's hossein vafaei 10 frames to 5. trump led 6—3 after saturday's first session and breaks of 95, 7a and 89 helped him move into the next round. just enough time to recap our top story tonight, manchester united survived one of the greatest fa cup comebacks to reach the final. they beat the championship side coventry city on penalties but only after first throwing away a 3—0 lead to set up an all—manchester final next month. that's it from sportsday. there's loads more on the bbc sport website and app. but from me and the rest of the team here — goodbye.
