Premier League LIVE SCORES: Leicester vs Southampton DELAYED, Everton leading Ipswich, Arsenal up NEXT – updates

From Phil Thomas at Goodison

A day of nostalgia and tradition in the penultimate game at Goodison…

…so how fitting that Everton are maintaining their time-served custom of being consistently inconsistent to the end.

Two up and cruising against a relegated side which looked ready to crumble, only to blow it and having to settle for a point.

Well I did say if a fourth goal was coming, Ipswich were favourites to get it…

From Dan King at the Emirates Stadium

When it comes to injuries, you can have sympathy with Arsenal.

This time they leave full back Jurrien Timber out as a precaution and in comes Ben White for only his third start since November.

But in terms of the alleged refereeing plot against the Gunners, ask Bournemouth how they feel.

They were set fair for a win over Manchester United that would have kept them right in the hunt for European football until Evanilson was sent off, a decision that was overturned on appeal

Could it be that there was a cock-up instead of a conspiracy and that incompetence is dealt out at random?

Mikel Arteta’s side were not quite on it when they drew with Brentford in between their quarter final clashes with Real Madrid.

After Liverpool sealed the title, this is another test of Arsenal’s will not to come third in a two-horse race.

Full time – Leicester 2-0 Southampton

The Foxes come out on top in the battle of the bottom two and record a rare win.

Southampton still have work to do to not be remembered as the joint-worst Premier League team of all time.

Full time – Everton 2-2 Ipswich

An entertaining game comes to an end at Goodison.

Everton 2-2 Ipswich

90. Six minutes of stoppage time has just been signalled at Goodison…

…and that has lifted Ipswich.

Kieran McKenna’s relegated outfit believe they can win this!

From Graham Hill at the King Power

Things have calmed down after an incident-packed first half.

If anything, Southampton have looked the most likely to score.

They had a goal disallowed after 55 minutes when Matty Fernandes put the ball in the net, after sub Paul Onuachu’s header was saved superbly by Jacob Stolarczyk. But it was ruled out for offside.

The travelling Saints fans let interim boss Simon Rusk know what they thought of his decision to sub Fernandes moments later.

They sang ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ and followed it up with a lengthy rendition of ‘Matty, Matty Fernandes’.

Leicester have brought on 15-year-old Jeremy Monga – but can Vardy score again for his 200th Leicester goal?

71. And yet somehow this game makes the game at Goodison Park look action-packed.

There’s just been one shot on target in the second half at the King Power, and I can’t even remember who had it.

Everton 2-1 Ipswich

68. It has been 30 minutes since Everton last attempted a shot in this game.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back on the bench today. Maybe it’s up to him to put that right.

From Phil Thomas at Goodison Park

On easy street with half-time in sight… now scrapping like street fighters to keep their noses in front.

At least Everton are consistent to the end – they’ve always been in a league of their own when it comes to making things hard for themselves.

If there’s a fourth goal in this, you sense Ipswich will be the ones who score it.

56. Ipswich scorer Julio Enciso picked up a knock at the start of the second period but he appears to have shaken it off.

And now he’s eyeing up Jordan Pickford goal again with another long range effort, but this time the Everton keeper comes out on top to comfortably save.

Team news from the Emirates

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli

Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Araujo, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Cook, Adams; Tavernier, Kluivert, Ouattara; Evanilson

Back on it for the second half

We are underway again at Goodison and the King Power, although the latter is a little behind following that first half stoppage.

Can Southampton find a way back in? Will Everton start their farewells to Goodison in style? It’s time to find out.

From Graham Hill at the King Power

After 12 minutes of stoppage time here – and an eventful first half – Leicester are in uncharted territory as far as 2025 goes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy called on his relegated team to play with freedom – and they have. The Foxes are 2-0 up at half time with goals from skipper Jamie Vardy and a 43rd minute strike from Jordan Ayew who saw his free-kick hit the Saints wall before scoring from the rebound.

But ref David Webb went down injured midway through the half and had to come off. There was a delay of almost 12 minutes before play could resume – with fourth official Sam Barrott stepping up to take the whistle, and a referees’ coach Phil Sharp, taking over on the touchline.

As if that wasn’t enough, a fans’ protest banner aimed at the owner, Top Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin, was mistakenly shown on the stadium’s big screen. Leicester use the broadcast feed for match action and swiftly took down the banner shot.

But Southampton still look a long way from that magic 12 point mark.

Half-time – Leicester 2-0 Southampton

The Foxes lead the battle of the bottom two at the King Power.

Jamie Vardy and Jordan Ayew helped themselves to a couple of smart finishes but the first half was marred by a scare for referee David Webb.

The official collided with Ayew, and was eventually replaced with a suspected concussion, leading to lengthy stoppage time.

From Phil Thomas at Goodison Park

Where did that come from? Nearly half an hour of pretty much nothing, then 20 minutes of blood and thunder…and a couple of worldies.

Beto’s headed opener, Liam Delap’s come-and-have-a-go to anyone in sight – and then two rub-your-eyes, Roberto Carlos-style swerving strikes from Dwight McNeil and Julio Enciso.

Bring on the second half!

Half-time – Everton 2-1 Ipswich

The Toffees lead at the break, but not as convincingly as they would have liked.

Goals from Beto and McNeil had them in total charge, but a stunner from Julio Enciso means this one has all to play for.

Leicester 1-0 Southampton

38. The game is back underway at the King Power, but has taken some time to pick up pace following that lengthy stoppage.

Expect injury time aplenty at the end of the first half.
