    90+2. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    United come SO close to a late late leveller.

    Luke Shaw gets in really well to cut that pass out.
    86. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    Garnacho does brilliantly again down the left-hand side, but fails to win a corner for his side this time.
    84. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    Ortega is given a yellow card for time wasting in the Manchester City goal.
    United work the ball forward to Wout Weghorst, but he is offside.
    Scott McTominay is on for Manchester United in place of Victor Lindelof, and it seems United are going to play Varane in a 1v1 against Erling Haaland.
    82. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    So close to a third for City!
    After some brilliant work by Phil Foden, the ball finds its way to Bernardo Silva on the right hand side.
    He delivers the ball towards the back post, where Manuel Akanji of all people is lurking, but the Swiss defender can’t get a toe on the ball.
    80. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United

    Marcus Rashford smashes a shot over the bar from just outside the box, but it was not far away!
    City’s defence were worried…
    67. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    It seems like the life has been sucked out of this game a little, and the next goal is going to be absolutely vital.
    Can Manchester United lift their heads and get an all important equaliser?
    64. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United

    Here he comes, Alejandro Garnacho replaces Christian Eriksen, who as we said, was looking a little leggy…

    Half an hour to go, and Alejandro Garnacho is looking to come on and turn the tide in Manchester United’s favour.
    58. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    A couple of the Manchester United players are starting to look tired out there, namely Christian Eriksen, who has been tasked with dealing with Ilkay Gundogan this afternoon.
    Bruno Fernandes misplaces a pass on the half-volley, and it goes out for a throw in to Man City.
    56. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    The free-kick is delivered into the box by De Bruyne, before being cleared.
    It eventually leads to a corner for Manchester City, which is also dealt with.
    54. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    Fred brings down Stones who is gliding forward with the ball, and City have another free-kick on the edge of the penalty area.
    The Brazilian is walking the tightrope of being booked here, but he escapes this time.
    52. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    It is a training ground free-kick that comes off for Manchester City, as a De Bruyne set piece is dinked into Gundogan on the edge of the box.
    Rodri does really well to block off Luke Shaw, and despite De Gea getting a hand on it it spins into the back of the net.
    50. Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
    GOAL!He has done it again!Ilkay Gundogan hits another volley, this time on his left foot, into the bottom left corner.

      Gervonta Davis is turning into a mini-monster hell-bent on taking Mike Tyson’s tag
      This is a comment piece by Colin Hart
      Gervonta Davis is a tiny tearaway who is big trouble inside and outside the ring.
      He is rapidly turning into a mini-monster who seems hell-bent on taking over Mike Tyson’s role as boxing’s “Baddest Man on the Planet.”
      Davis is a ferocious punching pocket-battleship who fires explosive missiles with both hands.
      It was obvious he was an exceptional talent to those fortunate to see him destroy Liam Walsh in less than three rounds when he defended his world super-featherweight crown at East London’s Copper Box, six years ago.
      Since then, Davis has been arrested on numerous occasions for several offences including aggravated assault.

      Gervonta Davis was over the moon following his seventh-round TKO victory over Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas.
      He said: “The job isn’t done until I retire. I’m gonna continue to keep my head down and work.
      He said of the brutal body shot which stopped the fight: “It was a good shot.
      “I thought he was going to get up. I like to play mind games.
      “When he was looking at me I was looking at him like ‘get up’ but he shook his head and said no.”
      ‘He never once came over to help me’
      One of the passengers in the other car, Jyair Smith, spoke out against the plea deal.
      “I begged Mr. Gervonta Davis, I looked him in his eyes,” Davis said.
      “I said, ‘I have to get home to my daughter, I’m pregnant.’ He never once came over to help me.”
      Davis’ car accident in 2020
      Davis admitted to fleeing the scene of a car accident in 2020, after his Lamborghini Urus smashed into a car carrying four people – including a pregnant woman.

      All three left the scene before officers could assist.
      Davis recently retained his WBA title against Ryan Garcia

      The win saw him retain his WBA lightweight title, while moving to 29-0 as a pro.

      by

      Leicester and Leeds’ time in the top flight has come to an end and both will play Championship football next season.

      Everton 1-0 Bournemouth LIVE RESULT
      (R) Leicester 2-1 West Ham LIVE RESULT
      (R) Leeds 1-4 Spurs LIVE RESULT

      PREMIER LEAGUE RELEGATION ODDS: TEAMS LIKELY TO GO DOWN IN 2022/23 SEASON
      Follow ALL the action from the final day with our live blog below…
      More from Lampard
      Frank Lampard added ahead of his Chelsea departure: “Standards as a collective for a club like Chelsea have to be at the maximum or you won’t be physically competitive enough, or you won’t be able to play at a high level, high speed the Premier League demands.
      “If you’re not together in the dressing room and vocal in the dressing room, and driving each other and competitive because ‘I want your place and you want mine’…
      “Every top team has to have that. When I came in, very quickly I could see that wasn’t there enough.
      “Of course a very good manager can help that but everyone has to take responsibility.”
      Lampard warns Pochettino
      Frank Lampard revealed the long list of problems Mauricio Pochettino is facing at Chelsea after the team finished 12th in the Premier League with their worst ever points total.
      He said: “I’m a big fan of Pochettino as a manager, I think he’s a very good manager. But it’s not about which individual it might be, it’s about getting the right high level of manager.
      “Pochettino’s history tells you he works at clubs of this sort of level and then letting him get to work with the players he creates a solid identity in a team that can win more games. Those things aren’t always overnight things, so we have to be careful with expectations a little bit.
      “There’s a lot of work to be done. That’s my synopsis after six weeks, the basics that I keep talking about – standards are so relevant to this club at the minute. Standards collectively have dropped – I can be honest about that as it’s my last game and I might not see some of them that much anyway.”
      Erik ten Hag warning
      Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag insist the club must invest if they want to win the Premier League.
      Ten Hag said: “The club knows that if you want to play top four, if you want to compete for trophies in this tough league, you have to invest, otherwise you won’t progress because other clubs will.
      “We saw it in the winter. All the clubs around us invested.
      “We didn’t and still we made it. So I am really happy and proud of my team.”
      Pep Guardiola reacts
      Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised Brentford and insists one of his targets for next season is to beat Thomas Frank’s side.
      Guardiola told Sky Sports: “Congratulations to Brentford, in the second half they pushed more. They are master of how quick they play and how aggressive and fast they are in all departments.
      “I don’t have any complaints of how good we behaved. I said to the players, today they finish a Premier League which you won deservedly. Now, two days off and then Wednesday we prepare for first final.
      “Brentford are the best team by far in set pieces but not just in that concept. They’re an exceptional team, I have a lot of admiration for Thomas Frank for many years. You have the feeling and vibes that unity of club is there.
      “Normally people talk about champions, when you see what Bournemouth have done since Gary O’Neil took over and Brentford, it’s exceptional. Hopefully next season we can do better and beat them like last season. We have a target for net season.
      “Once you get the title, it’s normal for your mind to go that way. The result is not ideal but I am sure we’d have behaved differently if we needed points to be champion.”

      No time for celebrations
      Liverpool legend and Everton fan Jamie Carragher insists the Toffees shouldn’t celebrate Premier League survival too much.
      Carragher told Sky Sports: “I was really pleased there was a feeling inside Goodison Park that Everton fans shouldn’t be celebrating this.
      “I’m from the city. Everton haven’t punched above their weight for a long time, but to find themselves in this position two years running is awful.
      “When I hear the players saying that commitment and mentality got them over the line… it’s embarrassing.
      “Everton shouldn’t be in this position with the players they have got and the amount of money that has been spent, over £700m. I can understand the players are relieved, but don’t be celebrating this too much.
      “Those players have got away with a lot this season because all the eyes have been on the owner and those running the football club.
      “There were cries of ‘sack the board’ at the end of the game, I agree with that. But the players have been awful, absolutely shocking, so they shouldn’t be getting away with it at all.”
      Sean Dyche reacts
      Everton manager Sean Dyche insisted the Toffees are not a “broken club”.
      Dyche told Sky Sports: “Obviously it means a lot. To me, I took over what they called a broken club. It’s not broken. There are certainly cracks but it’s not broken. We’ve shown that fighting spirit we needed.
      “But I’ve told the players they shouldn’t be in this state and we’ve got to learn. Next season is going to be a big season. It’s a magic day but at the end of the day we shouldn’t be in this shape.
      “We needed belief in the group and I think we’ve done that well. As a staff we’ve maintained that, we’ve kept them believing. They’ve seen people dropping, we’ve got no full-backs, no forwards, but we’ve kept going.
      “‘Doucs’ [Abdoulaye Doucoure] has been a shining light in that and he scores a cracking goal. He might have mis-hit it. But we have to learn from this experience. You’re only a big club if you give big club performances and you do big club things.
      “This is a big club but we’ve got to get it back to being there off the pitch and not just on the pitch.”
      Final day recap
      The Premier League season came to a close with a dramatic final round of fixtures.
      Everton avoided relegation after beating Bournemouth 1-0 and condemned Leeds as well as Leicester to the Championship after a 4-1 loss to Tottenham and 2-1 win against West Ham respectively.
      The Whites and the Foxes are going to the Championship along with Southampton, who drew 4-4 with Liverpool in an entertaining encounter.
      Aston Villa beat Brighton 2-1 to seal a place in the Europa Conference League and ended Brentford’s dreams despite their 1-0 win over Premier League champions Manchester City.
      Manchester United finished third after beating Fulham 2-1 following Newcastle’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
      Arsenal destroyed Wolves 5-0, whereas Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest.
      Final Premier League table
      Manchester United and Newcastle are going to the Champions League along with Arsenal and Premier League champions Manchester City.
      Liverpool and Brighton have sealed a place in the Europa League whereas Aston Villa have qualified for the Europa Conference League next season.
      Southampton were joined by Leeds and Leicester in the drop zone and will thus be playing in the Championship next season.
      More below:

      We need to become a big club
      Sean Dyche has said that it is now time for Everton to make themselves a big club again.
      While the manager feels Everton is a big club, performances count more than history.
      It is a chance now for The Toffees to re-establish themselves in the football world.
      Final positions at the bottom
      As the Premier League season draws to a close Everton fans will party long into the night as they secure their survival.
      Jamie Vardy will not be having his party tonight, the former Premier League winners are relegated.
      Leeds United will have to rebuild and look to bounce back next season, not an easy ask.
      Southampton, Leeds and Leicester relegated
      Everton secure Premier League survival
      FT: Everton 1-0 Bournemouth
      FT: Leicester 2-1 West Ham
      Leeds 1-4 Tottenham
      Lucas Moura has rubbed salt into the wound for Leeds fans.
      Sam Allardyce’s side are going down to the Championship.
      As the full time whistle goes, their fate is sealed.
      FT: Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest
      Brentford 1-0 Man City
      Ethan Pinnock sends the Brentford fans into raptures.
      A late goal here could cement a victory over the Premier League champions.
      Although it seems unlikely they will seal a place in Europe, it has been a great season for Thomas Frank’s side.
      Leicester 2-1 West Ham
      Despite Everton still leading, it has become an edgy atmosphere at the King Power Stadium.
      With just over ten minutes remaining, this game is back in the balance.
      Everyone is more concerned with events at Goodison Park at the moment.
      Goal – Pablo Fornals (West Ham)

      Southampton 2-2 Liverpool
      The visitors defensive woes are underpinned here as bottom of the table Southampton have drawn level.
      Kamaldeen Sulemana gets his first Saints goal to draw things level at St Mary’s.
      Great comeback by Southampton.
      Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle
      Chelsea have managed to get an equaliser but it is not one of Frank Lampard’s players who have got it.
      Kieran Trippier is the person who has scored with an unfortunate own goal to bring Chelsea level.
      All square at Stamford Bridge.
      Aston Villa 2-0 Brighton
      Brighton look to come forward and as Villa turn the ball over, they break quickly with Jacob Ramsey over the halfway line.
      He keeps going towards goal and as the keeper comes out he squares the ball.
      Ollie Watkins is there to knock the ball into an empty net to put them one step closer to securing their European adventures next season.
      Man Utd 0-1 Fulham
      Red Devils’ fans have turned up in their droves hoping to see a good end to a season where they have secured a top four spot.
      Fulham do not seem to have read the script though as Kenny Tete gives the visitors the lead.
      Mountain to climb for Erik ten Hag’s side.
      Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
      James Ward-Prowse has brought the home side back into the game.
      In what could be his last game as a Southampton player, he has given the home fans something to cheer.
      The Saints are looking to finish a disappointing season on a high note.
      Arsenal 2-0 Wolves
      This could be Granit Xhaka’s last game for The Gunners today.
      What a way to sign off as he has scored the opening two goals of the game.
      The home fans will be disappointed that they are starting the day eight points behind Man City but the scoreline here should be cheering up the fans who have made it to their last game of the season.

      Southampton 0-2 Liverpool
      Diogo Jota gives the visitors the lead, something of the home side’s own doing.
      As they look to roll it from the back, Liverpool win the ball with their high press before Jota slots home.
      Things go from bad to worse for Southampton as moments later, Roberto Firmino scores on his last Liverpool appearance putting the ball through the keeper’s legs to make it 0-2.
      Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
      After having an early chance to take the lead, the visitors do not have to wait long for another opportunity.
      As Newcastle manage to work the ball to Gordon who shoots, Kepa manages to get a touch to it but cannot keep the ball out.
      This could be a depressing end to the Frank Lampard era in West London.

      Goal – Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)
      Aston Villa 1-0 Brighton
      Jacob Ramsey does well down the left and gets to the byline before cutting the ball back to the penalty spot.
      Douglas Luiz meets it to strike a right footed shot passed the Brighton keeper.
      Fully deserved, this has been one-way traffic in the early stages.
      Goal – Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa)
      Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton
      An early chance for the home side as Leon Bailey creates a chance but as he shoots his shot takes a slight deflection on the way through.
      The ball rebounds back off the crossbar and the second chance is fired over.
      Early chance for Unai Emery’s side.

      Leeds 0-1 Tottenham
      It could not be a worse start for Sam Allardyce’s men.
      Despite playing five at the back, their defending was woeful.
      Great finish by the England striker who side-footed the ball home.
      Goal – Harry Kane (Tottenham)
      Last day showdown edging closer
      While many of the big decisions have already been made in the league, the battle of the bottom is huge.
      Managing nerves will be key for Everton, who have it all to do to secure their safety.
      Elsewhere, Unai Emery will be hoping to ensure that his Villa side can look forward to some European competition next season.
      Goodison Park relegation focal point
      Despite Leeds and Leicester knowing what they need to do personally to try and ensure their survival in the Premier League, it is all irrelevant if Everton do their job.
      The Toffees need to beat Bournemouth and they are safe.
      Sean Dyche’s side know their destiny is in their own hands to ensure that Everton remain a Premier League club.
      Credit: Getty
      Vardy hoping for another party
      Despite starting on the bench today, Jamie Vardy will be hoping he has a big part to play in Leicester’s hope of Premier League survival.
      If his side are in need of goals, hoping other results will be going their way, the experience of the striker could be key.
      In all these relegation battles today, the quality they have to come off the bench, could be key.
      Big Sam on relegation
      He said: ‘In terms of saving football clubs, keeping Leeds up would be the best of the lot.
      ‘I’ve saved other football clubs in dire and desperate situations.
      ‘But that’s always been with a lot more games and a lot more opportunities than this to put into place what you need to save them.
      ‘Let’s hope we’re smiling on Sunday and hungover on Monday.
      ‘As I say to every player, pressure is a privilege at this level and one you have to master.
      ‘You’re lucky to have this privilege of pressure playing in the Premier League – so enhance it and deliver.’

      Loss a “massive blow”
      Former Stockport defender Liam Hogan has spoken after his old club suffered a penalty heartbreak at Wembley.
      He told the BBC: “It’s a massive blow. If you got back to open play, the Akil Wright moment, we could have sealed the win in normal time.
      “When the dust settles there will be a realisation of what they’ve achieved this season. Playing an event like the League Two final is a massive achievement in itself.
      “Within the club there’s a big foundation and this could be a stepping stone to keep progressing.
      “There’s a squad there that they can build but it will be a strong league next season with the likes of Wrexham and Notts County coming up.
      “To be so close, going back into the dressing room having lost will be a massive disappointment.”
      Charters hails promotion
      Carlisle star Taylor Charters has admitted that achieving promotion “means the world”.
      He told Sky Sports: “I can’t put it into words. It means the world.

      How Fulham line up
      Here’s a reminder of how Fulham line up this afternoon…

      How Man Utd line up
      Here’s a reminder of how Erik ten Hag’s side line up this afternoon…

      Last time out at Old Trafford…
      Man Utd claimed a 3-1 win over Fulham in the FA Cup two months ago.
      Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring in the second half, but Fulham’s joy was short-lived after Willian was sent off after denying a goalscoring opportunity with a handball.
      Mitrovic then saw red when he shoved the referee which resulted in another dismissal… and a lengthy ban.
      Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcel Sabitzer then sealed the victory for the Red Devils.

      Erik has one eye on Wembley
      Erik ten Hag has told his players they can win the FA Cup final, then improve.
      He said: “We want to win the Cup and have to look to ourselves but in many aspects we can improve with this group of players.
      “I know where we have to improve and there is a lot of room for it, yes.
      “One year ago I said we wanted to win trophies and we have one, so we want to go for the highest.
      “It is a long way and is going to be a project, not over one year, we’re talking two or three.
      “There are not so many in our squad who have won the FA Cup and that is huge.
      “The FA Cup is global, with a huge reputation.
      “I know from the Netherlands how big it is and we have an opportunity to win it.”
      Make mine a Treble
      United fans have been bragging that they are the only English club to ever win the Treble.
      In fact they even have replica trophies on display outside Old Trafford.
      Those bragging rights might not last for long, if they don’t win the FA Cup final against Manchester City, who are odds on for the historic feat.

      Be the main man Rash
      Erik ten Hag challenged striker Marcus Rashford to become the Erling Haaland of Old Trafford, writes PHIL THOMAS.
      Rash’s late strike in Thursday’s 4-1 drubbing of Chelsea took him to 30 goals for the season – the first Manchester United player to reach that tally since Robin van Persie a decade ago.
      Rashford’s tally has played a bigger role than any other in making Ten Hag’s first season in charge an unqualified success.
      Yet, although it could end with United adding the FA Cup to a top-four finish and the Carabao Cup they won in February, their perfectionist gaffer has raised the bar even higher.
      And that means handing Rashford a target on a par with Haaland, the Nordic goal machine who has bagged over a half-century across town with rivals City.
      Matching his tally of 52 might be asking a bit too much.
      But manager Ten Hag thinks just three goals in Rashford’s last 11 games means he could get closer next time.
      He said: “With Marcus there’s a lot of room for improvement in his game and I’m convinced he can score even more.
      “When you take, for instance, the last ten games he didn’t score many goals. I think only two or three, so, yes, he can improve.
      “I am happy from what he did last season to now, that he has brought himself back and we supported him where we could, with the way we play and also in his mental mindset. So we are happy with that but we must push him more. I think he’s capable of 40 goals in a season, so for him that’s the next step.”
