  1. Messi runs the show and Miami's defense gets it done in big win

    Lionel Messi scored and assisted in the first half, and Inter Miami kept a valuable clean sheet in a convincing 2-0 win over Portland to secure their first home win at Nu Stadium. They leaned on their star Argentine for attacking quality in the big moments and were defensively resolute in a comfortable victory against a spirited Portland side.

  2. Brilliant Bruno equals assists record in controversial win

    Bruno Fernandes equalled the Premier League assists record as Manchester United secured a third-placed finish with a hugely controversial 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Michael Carrick's men took a fifth-minute lead at Old Trafford thanks to Luke Shaw, but Morato deservedly drew the visitors level shortly after half-time when he headed in a fine cross from the impressive Elliot Anderson.

  3. Sublime Semenyo secures FA Cup glory for Pep & City

    Manchester City secured their second trophy of the season as Antoine Semenyo's second-half goal secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup final. Pep Guardiola's side edged what was a pretty lifeless affair at Wembley, and Semenyo's sublime flick, scored with 18 minutes left on the clock, proved to be the difference as City won the competition for the eighth time in their history.

  4. Shaw & champions City round out WSL season in style

    Manchester City closed out their title-winning Women's Super League season in style on Saturday, the new English champions finishing the league campaign with a 4-1 win at West Ham before lifting the trophy for the first time in 10 years. City's triumph was confirmed earlier this month, when Arsenal failed to beat Brighton, and so they could enjoy something of a victory lap in the capital, as a packed out away end watched a Khadija Shaw double help deliver another win in a wonderful season.

  5. Is Slot's time up?! Lacklustre Liverpool thumped at Villa

    Liverpool's disastrous title defence hit a new low on Friday night as they were thumped by Champions League-bound Aston Villa to put their own hopes of qualification in jeopardy. The Reds were tormented by Ollie Watkins throughout, with the striker bagging a brace and laying on another. The 4-2 defeat leaves Arne Slot's side fifth in the Premier League, four points clear of Bournemouth in sixth having played a game more.

  6. Foden for England! Fallen star keeps City's title dream alive

    Phil Foden helped keep Manchester City's Premier League title hopes alive by creating two goals in Wednesday's night's vital 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Etihad, while simultaneously providing Thomas Tuchel a timely reminder of his qualities. Foden's place in England's World Cup is very much in doubt at the moment but he unquestionably made the most of a rare opportunity to start for City, as Pep Guardiola made six changes with Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea in mind.

  7. Tel goes from hero to zero as draw dents Spurs' survival hopes

    Tottenham threw away two huge points in their fight for Premier League survival as they were held to a 1-1 draw by already-safe Leeds on Monday night. Spurs looked on course for a crucial victory when Mathys Tel fired home an unstoppable strike shortly after half-time, but the Frenchman turned villain when he conceded a needless penalty to gift the visitors a route back into the game with 20 minutes to play, and Roberto De Zerbi's side were unable to find a winner.

  8. Champions! Rashford's Clasico rocket seals La Liga title for Barca

    Barcelona retained their league title in dream circumstances on Sunday night, comprehensively defeating fierce rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico on home soil. La Liga's runaway leaders only needed a point from the showdown at Spotify Camp Nou and would have expected a stern contest against their old foes, but in truth this was a routine victory over a Madrid side in disarray after a week of chaos behind the scenes.

  9. Trossard delivers right on time as Arsenal survive HUGE title scare

    Arsenal took a giant step towards the Premier League title as they secured an incredibly dramatic 1-0 win at West Ham on Sunday, with Leandro Trossard scoring a late winner before the hosts had what they thought was a stoppage-time equaliser ruled out following a VAR check for the ages. It looked like Callum Wilson had struck a dagger to the Gunners’ title hopes when he fired home with seconds remaining but, after an agonisingly lengthy review, the goal was ruled out for a foul on David Raya - much to the disgust of the relegation-threatened Hammers.

  1. Mount & Zirkzee waste rare chances to impress in stalemate

    Manchester United limped to a 0-0 draw against Sunderland on Saturday as Michael Carrick's side put in a performance that lacked energy on a wet and windy day on Wearside. With Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko absent due to injury, the Red Devils struggled to get a grip on the game, and were indebted to goalkeeper Senne Lammens for making two excellent saves to preserve their clean sheet.

  2. Quick-thinking Enzo brings end to Chelsea's losing run

    Chelsea brought an end to their run of Premier League losses as they battled back to earn a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday. Enzo Fernandez's free-kick earned Calum McFarlane's side a point on Merseyside, though their hopes of sneaking into the Champions League via a sixth-placed finish continue to fade away after failing to record a much-needed victory.

  3. Gakpo goes missing as Slot hangs Jones out to dry in draw

    Liverpool's charge for Champions League football hit a slight bump in the road on Saturday as struggling Chelsea fought back to secure a 1-1 draw and a valuable point at Anfield. Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring with a wonderful strike early on, but the Reds' dominance waned after that, with a porous defence allowing the Blues back into a game their hosts let get away.

  4. WSL title race is done! Arsenal draw hands trophy to Man City

    Arsenal's slim chances of pipping Manchester City to the Women's Super League title ended on Wednesday as the Gunners' 1-1 draw at Brighton saw the Cityzens crowned champions for the first time in 10 years. Coming off the back of some demanding Champions League exploits, Renee Slegers rotated for the trip south, but that was no excuse for the dropped points, with the Seagulls' own much-changed cast thriving to play yet another surprisingly prominent role in the WSL title race.

  5. Alvarez goes missing as shot-shy Atleti come up short

    Atletico Madrid once again came up short in the Champions League as they suffered a 1-0 loss at Arsenal on Tuesday that meant they succumbed to a 2-1 aggregate defeat in their semi-final tie. Diego Simeone's side mustered just two shots on target in north London as their hopes of facing either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest on May 30 went up in smoke.

  6. Arsenal are in the UCL final! Saka on the spot to seal victory

    Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal reached their first Champions League final in 20 years by defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0 in a tight and tense encounter on Tuesday to progress 2-1 on aggregate. The semi-final tie had been left perfectly poised after Viktor Gyokeres and Julian Alvarez had exchanged penalties at the Metropolitano last week, and there was once again little to choose between two attritional teams in the return clash at the Emirates.

  7. Doku bails out Guehi - but City hand Arsenal huge advantage

    Jeremy Doku's sublime last-gasp equaliser salvaged a point for Manchester City in a dramatic 3-3 draw with Everton on Monday night, but a second-half capitulation means Pep Guardiola's side have still handed Arsenal a huge advantage in the Premier League title race. City had led 1-0 at half-time, before imploding after the break and finding themselves two goals down with nine minutes to play.

  8. Shameful! Palmer & abysmal Chelsea embarrassed yet again

    Chelsea's hopes of securing a top-five finish in the Premier League were ended on Monday as they put in a shameful performance in losing 3-1 to Nottingham Forest. Cole Palmer missed from the penalty spot as the Blues' run of league defeats stretched to six games, meaning their hopes of securing Champions League qualification for next season hang by the finest of threads.

  9. Robertson leads flops as Liverpool comeback falls short

    Liverpool lost out in a topsy-turvy game against Manchester United on Sunday, suffering a 3-2 defeat despite launching a second-half comeback. The Reds were two down at half-time, but goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo got them right back into the game, only for Kobbie Mainoo to fire home and secure all three points for Michael Carrick's side.

  10. Kerr makes history & James dazzles as Chelsea secure UWCL spot

    Sam Kerr wrote her name into Chelsea's history books yet again on Sunday, as she kickstarted a comfortable 3-1 win over Leicester City that confirmed the Blues will be playing Champions League football again next season. Sonia Bompastor's side only needed a point to secure a top-three finish after Manchester United's slip-up against Brighton on Saturday, but they delivered all three in a dominant display against the Women's Super League's bottom side, with Lauren James bagging a sparkling brace after Kerr became the club's all-time top-scorer in the competition.
