manchester city able to close that gap later. an own goal by pierre—emile hojbjerg and efforts from bukayo saka and kai havertz put arsenal in control, 3—0 ahead at half—time. spurs did eventually fight back through a goal from cristian romero, followed by a late son heung—min penalty, but arsenal managed to hold on and claim three valuable points. you know how much it means to north london, this match, and we were really efficient in the first half, we were really good at the start of the second half, in the control we had. but we gave it away and we made a huge mistake, made another one for the penalty, but then i love the direction of my players. and to do what we've done two years in a row here is even more difficult. you know, it's great. when, at the end, you manage to win it, it's great. it's a difference of where we're at the moment and where we want to get to. it's about the details, making sure you're always focused every bit of the game, whether that's transition moments, set—pieces.

you know, we're still not there. and against the best, you pay a big price for it. maybe you might get away with it against other teams, but, yeah, arsenal were good at taking advantage at the lack of focus on the details, and then you give yourself a mountain to climb. manchester city are keeping the pressure on arsenal — they had a 2—0 win over nottingham forest with goals from josko gvardiol and erling haaland. city finish the dayjust one point behind the league leaders, with the knowledge that they also have a game in hand. we defended really good the box, really good, with manuel and nathan especially, and josko. and the last half—hour, on the inside... we are a team that we survive with the ball. we knew it would be difficult today for many reasons and, yeah, we can move forward.

we've been playing good. been penalised by situations, in critical situations that we have that we need to improve, but definitely, definitely, the attitude, the way the players work, we have to stick with that and go and go and go, try to analyse this one, put it behind and look forward to the next challenge. bournemouth beat brighton 3—0 to move up to tenth in the table on 48 points — their highest ever total in the premier league. andoni iraola's side took the early lead from a corner, headed in by marcos senesi. turkish striker enes unal scored on his first premier league start for bournemouth in the second half, beforejustin kluivert made it 3—0 with his third goal in three home games. brighton stay in 12th place in the table. really, really happy. i think the players deserved these points, they performed really well. even at the beginning, when we are not getting

the result, they were pushing and playing well, and now we want more points. we want to continue. we know that we'll have a really, really difficult three last games, but we will try to give our best, yes. french side lyon are through to the women's champions league final after beating domestic rivals p56 in the second leg of their semifinal. the eight—time winners led 3—2 from the first leg and took an early away lead through selma bacha. tabitha chawinga's equaliser before half—time gave psg a little hope. but a late goal sealed a 5—3 aggregate win, and lyon will take on reigning champions barcelona in bilbao next month. to tennis now, and the world number four elena rybakina eased to a straight sets victory over mayar sherif to reach the last 16 of the madrid open. the 2022 wimbledon champion, who has a tour—leading three titles this season, broke twice in the first set to move 5—0 ahead in the spanish capital and went

finally being able to do it is hugely satisfying. what started at an afterschool rock climbing club aged eight is about to take toby roberts to the biggest stage of all. it feels surreal. like, the olympics hasjust been such a big dream for me, and to finally be in that prep stage, like getting ready, it's all starting to feel real. like, i can't wait to get out there and give it my all. toby wasn't old enough to go to the tokyo games, but his eyes were already set on paris. more than 10,000 hours on the wall later, he's now set to become the first british male climber to compete at an olympic games. when it was first introduced as an olympic sport when i wasjust a little kid, really, it was just so special. and i was like, yeah, that's what i want to do, that's what i want to go for. here comes toby. when i think about it, it's like, wow, i'm living the dream right now. this is incredible, and i'm just so happy to be in this position. toby secured his paris place by winning the european qualifying event and has backed it up with two recent world cup victories, all of which puts him among

the medal favourites for the combined bouldering and lead climbing category. bouldering is a lot shorter, a lot more physical, maybe five metres high with a mat on the ground. and then there's lead climbing, which is a lot more endurance—based, it's a lot longer. you're on, like, a 15—20—metre—long wall, and it's about who gets the highest on the wall. i climb my best when ijust go and just absolutely enjoy it. yeah, that's my goal is to just go in there and just give everything, and i've got high hopes. climbing's place at the olympics has already seen participation levels grow. now toby is hoping to inspire a new generation of talent. the amount of new climbing gyms popping up all over the world and all over the country is amazing. yeah, recently it'sjust absolutely blown up, and it is incredible to see. lewis coombes, bbc news. now, the seven—time world snooker champion ronnie o'sullivan needs just three more frames to book his place in the quarterfinals of this

while leading the race. bagnaia took the lead early, but martin quickly took it back and was in front for much of the first half of the race before he lost the front—end of his ducati on the 11th lap and was dumped in the gravel. bagnaia then defended the lead, with marquez pushing him hard, but the italian came home to win. that's it from us. you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport app or from our website. but from everybody on the team, for now, that's it. goodbye. hello. expect a different feel to the weather over the next few days. some warmer weather on the way this week, but with that, we will still see some outbreaks of rain at times, so don't be expecting blue skies

and sunshine all the way. and certainly low pressure in charge of the scene for monday, this frontal system pushing in from the west. that'll make for a really soggy start to the day across northern ireland. conversely, central and eastern parts of england and a good part of scotland starting with some sunshine. a touch of frost first thing across parts of scotland. outbreaks of rain spreading from northern ireland, into southern and central scotland, northwest england, wales and the south—west as we go through the day. but for central and eastern parts of england, where we hold on to some brightness, temperatures could climb to 18 degrees. more generally, 11 to 1a. now, through monday night, this first band of cloud and patchy rain pushes a little bit further eastwards and northwards. we'll see further heavy rain returning to western parts by the end of the night. some clear spells, too, but temperatures between seven and 11 degrees —

much milder than recent nights. we should be frost—free as we start tuesday morning, but still with low pressure in charge, this frontal system bringing another dose of rain to western parts. and this front creeping in from the east, that is going to bring a band of clouds and perhaps some heavy, thundery showers into parts of eastern england as the day wears on. but in between our rain bands, a slice of sunshine across central parts of england, up into southern and eastern scotland. the warmth a little more widespread on tuesday, highs of16,17,18 degrees. the odd spot may be up to 19. now, by wednesday, levels of humidity will be climbing a little. that'll mean more in the way of low clouds, some mist and murk, particularly for eastern coasts. outbreaks of rain also likely to develop across many parts of central and eastern england. those temperatures, 16,17 or 18 degrees. as we head towards the end of the week, low pressure still fairly close by, so there'll still be some bouts of rain, but the winds coming from the east will feed some rather warm air from the near continent in our direction. now, the highest temperatures of all for the end of the week may be across western scotland — could be looking at temperatures up to 20 degrees. as we head into the weekend, looks rather mixed.

some dry weather, some rain at times, but staying just a little warmer than it has been of late.
