France against england still to come. From dublin, and east west. This is of course a day that settles the six nations at both top and bottom of the table and for the First Time Since 2003 its wales who finish at the foot and receive with it the infamous wooden spoon. They lost their fifth game out of five to italy 2421 as Patrick Gearey reports. The end of the tournament, the end of an era. Goodbye to george north, master try scorer, even for an expert finisher, this one was tough. Italy wouldnt make it any easier, the confidence they took from beating scotland flowed through them and past wales. Monty ioane to the line. Their first half was pointless. Not so long ago, italys place in the six nations was being questioned, but how is this for proof of progress . Commentator 0h, lorenzo pani what a glorious try 18 0, wales are staring at an unwanted utensil. Staring at the wooden spoon, they brought out the heavy rollers, elliot dee forced the ball over, try at last. Italy simply kept kicking towards the horizon, towards their second victory of the tournament. The game was now beyond wales, despite a late tries from Will Rowlands and mason grady. Norths final salute wasnt how he planned it. In sport, even the best cant script their endings. Patrick gearey, bbc news. Its been a while since wales suffered like this with only one six nations win since Warren Gatland returned as coach and once again he repeated his mantra of patience with an extensive Rebuilding Job underway. When we knew the inexperience of the squad, players that routes are stepped up into Leadership Roles with up for us its about learning and taking the good moments out of the game. And going, this is what good looks like. Im really excited about this group. I think theyre going to learn from that. Some youngsters who will improve from the experience. Weve got to make sure that were very clear on the sort of things, to find the game a little bit to make sure we do get on that front foot to go forward and it will make a huge difference for us. Quarter final of the Champions League within touching distance of the Premier League lead. And now into the last four of the fa cup this is the point that Manchester City and treble will start to be put together again. They beat newcastle 2 0 in their Quarter Final at the etihad. Reginaldo rosario has more. The fa cup has become a routine for Manchester City. Five straight semifinal, last seasons when art of the famous trouble. Newcastle united standing in the way with another trip to wembley. City got into the rhythm quickly. When you give bernardo silver time and space it usually gets punched. Dan burns by helping the ball home for the 1 0 city after helping the ball home for the i 0 city after 30 minutes. Perhaps thats the end of newcastle is bad luck for the night. Perhaps not. You can understand Bernardo Silvers she prisoners. The beneficiary of a deflection. This time botman, the unfortunate man. You could only watch in black and white last time newcastle tasted cup successful top but missed chances like that will surely prolong a 69 year wait. The second half saw a but tonight few and far between and the rain poured down on newcastle is hope. But as is routine for city in this Contest Wembley awaits again. The first team through to the semi finals in this years fa cup are coventry city. They beat wolves at molineux by three goals to two in a dramatic encounter that saw the championship side score twice in stoppage time to book their place at wembley, reaching the last four of the competition for the first time in 37 years. Nick parrott reports. A sense of relief and disbelief resonated around molineux after the final whistle. Coventry pulled off a remarkable recovery that left wolves flawed. The championship side managed 12 shots on target, more than twice as many as their Premier League hosts. But it was the misses that were more telling. Ellis simms scored a hat trick in the last round, had he started better, the nail biting finale might not have happened. When he did finally get the ball in the net, it took five minutes for the va are to decide whether he had handled it. Video assistant referee full stop the fans were so frustrated, even the home once booed the delay. Eventually, commentary� s prayers were answered. It would have been a controversial way to look when the match but 20 mins later, wolves made any lingering arguments invalid. The algerian midfielder then turned provider for this player to score his first four wolves. That would have been a moment for the spaniard to treasure until simms ruined his day. Many teams would have tried to hold on for extra time, but not coventry. In the 100th minute of the match, the striker wrote his name into the clubs history. The american Giving Covenrty fans the dream of reaching the fa cup final for the First Time Since they won it. Well wolves manager gary oneil has described the way his coventry counterpart celebrated their winner as disgusting. Mark robins has apologised since. He celebrated in front of a young wolves ball boy who had earlier dropped a ball at robins feet believing the home side were about to win. Oneil said afterwards the boy was really upset and wasjust doing hisjob, while the Coventry Boss insisted he doesnt usually show emotion even if the win was historic. That should give everyone the confidence to kick on for the rest of the season in our league and hopefully we can try and get into the play offs, there are some good teams at our level but we have just beaten a really good opponent. They are a giant, they have done brilliantly this year, gary has done a fantasticjob. Were just happy we have managed to put in a performance that gets us over the line and go to wembley again, the fourth time since i have been at the club. We gave everything to get to this point, we gave everything again today. Some of my shuffling helped, some of its cost us. That is the way it goes and players gave everything, fans give everything, obviously everybody is going to be devastated with the result for the next few days and we will have to find a way to dust ourselves down because Premier League is going to be really tough now. Players that we have missing and what we are going to have to do and how we are going to have to fight is going to be a real test of everyone so we need to be ready. Quarterfinal weekend in the fa cup means a slimmed down Prmeier League weekend. But significance nonetheless to all three games today. Spurs have failed to take their chance to move into the top four. Beaten 3 0 af fulham. Making it to end early in the second half is up fallen finish well for that nunez got his sec. Of the game sealing a big win for palm with the seventh goal in seven games for him. Spurs missed the chance to leap, follow him stay 12. The two cannot be separated. That was because boudin and Nottingham Forest through i i. Was because boudin and Nottingham Forest through 1 1. A late goal that gave them the point. Keeps them third from bottom. Nottingham forest failed to take the chance to pull away from the relegation zone. We got knocked down on wednesday night and it was very tough for us all and i thought we performed really, really well in the game today in difficult circumstances, obviously it the same not going again after only having a day and a bit prep. To go 1 0 down was another blow, this group just keep going and were still the fight. We didnt open the game to win it. The chances we didnt open the game to win it. The chances that we had i think we should the chances that we had i think we should have taken two points. Were bil should have taken two points. Were big boys should have taken two points. Were big boys a should have taken two points. Were big boys. A tough situation but 0k, theres big boys. A tough situation but 0k, theres a big boys. A tough situation but 0k, theres a problem there but theres a huge theres a problem there but theres a huge problem also to finish for the situations that we have, clear chances the situations that we have, clear chances that we have for that we have chances that we have for that we have to chances that we have for that we have to make it real. Have to make it real. A third of those teams have to make it real. A third of those teams considering have to make it real. A third of those teams considering a those teams considering a Relegation Fight in front of them burnley. Burnley are now eight points away from safety after they won 2 1 at home to brentford. Jacob bruun larsen put them ahead with a penalty after brentfords Sergio Reguilon was sent off. David fofana made it two for burnley before Kristoffer Ajer pulled one back for brenford late on. I think we started well. We didnt wait for the game to happen, we forced them to make a mistake early doors. I think we won duels and challenges on many occasions and we created big chances today again. Maybe the thing if we sharpen our tools a little bit more, we can have more goals but in the end, a team that hasnt won for a while with ten minutes to go, if the result is not already to bed then thats always something where you have to grind it out but we did that and got the result. Very, very proud of the players, of the effort, mentality. I really hope the fans are as well. It is an incredible shift of the players put in, to stay in the game 100 minutes with injury time over the two halves and getting very close, probably should could get a point, incredibly proud of that.
