      “Just trying to get some sleep, mate. [..] In the moment you’re obviously disappointed, but I’ve always stepped back and had a look at the broader pictures and this group of players have done awfully well this year, sometimes I think I’m too hard on them but I do that for a reason.”

      For Tottenham, look no further for goals than Son Heung-min.
      The South Korean has 16 goals to his name this season, and can score a variety of goals.

      It was a Joel Matip O.G last time, but will there be more chaos in today’s game?

      Brighton 1 Aston Villa 0: Joao Pedro’s late winner gifts Tottenham lifeline in race for fourth Champions League spot

      by

      JOAO PEDRO’S late penalty put a dent in Aston Villa’s Champions League push. The Brazilian forward hit his 20th goal of the season meaning Unai Emery’s could not qualify for the elusive competition today if Spurs lost at Liverpool.Joao Pedro celebrates after scoring his 20th of the seasonCredit: ReutersHis penalty was saved by Aston Villa’s Robin Olsen but he headed home the reboundCredit: GettyThis game was a battle between Brighton hero Simon Adingra and Villa’s stand-in goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who had big boots to fill. The visitors had been left with a gaping Emi Martinez shaped hole after the Argentine goalkeeper was ruled out due a hamstring injury. Adingra was at the beating heart of anything promising for Brighton, including winning the 87th minute penalty after being clipped by Ezri Konsa. But in homage to Martinez, Olsen actually SAVED the penalty but it popped out perfectly for Pedro to head home the rebound.Villa had conceded six goals in two games without Martinez but Olsen stepped up to the plate with a string of huge saves at the Amex to keep a respectable scoreline. But Brighton deserved every bit of this win, leaving Roberto De Zerbi as the best looking boss in town. Before the match he had said: “If you win and you look in the mirror you look handsome, if you lose you are stupid!” after picking up just three wins this calendar year. Villa’s disjointed first-half reeked of a side decimated by injuries with a loaded calendar taking its toll. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThey mustered just one shot in the first half – their fewest in the opening half of any Premier League match in over a year, when they faced Leeds in 2023 (also 1). Ivorian winger Adingra drilled a low drive straight at Olsen early on before dancing into the box again to sting the Swedish stopper’s hands with a raspign shot. Former Premier League manager looks unrecognisable as he plays GUITAR outside old club’s stadiumChants of “you’re just a s*** John McGinn” aimed at Pascal Gross nearly back-fired as his corner bounced off Welbeck’s back and was a fraction away from flying into the net. On 26 minutes Emery was forced into an early change bringing on Matty Cash for Morgan Rogers who had been stretching out an injured leg with no success. Ollie Watkins finally came to life on 34 minutes, latching onto a Lucas Digne cross and waltzing into the box before he was snaffled up. It was a menacing sight for Brighton fans given the striker scored a hat-trick in the reverse 6-1 pasting by Villa earlier on this season. Adingra was at it again, bursting towards goal as Danny Welbeck tried to play him in, but Olsen bravely came off his line to mop up the damage. The 34-year-old Olsen then made a blinding close-range save as Adingra nearly poked one in on the stroke of half-time following Pedro’s cross. And Olsen denied Gross who was a whisker away from breaking the deadlock after latching onto a floating Adingra pass. Emery must have given them a tongue-lashing at half-time because Matty Cash emerged from the restart and attempted a long-range screamer which shaved the crossbar.Brighton hit back strongly though with Pedro charging towards goal and firing at Olsen, who just about palmed away the damage. Substitute Julio Enciso also broke free after an inch-perfect Adingra cross , but blazed over. Gross looked as though he had given the ultimate two finger salute to Villa fans’ early taunts by slotting home on 68 minutes but VAR intervened and ruled it offside. Villa also had the ball in the net, but this time the linesman was the fun sponge, ruling out McGinn’s close-range attempt. Drama erupted when referee Robert Jones pointed to the spot as Konsa lightly clipped the heel of Adingra. It looked soft but VAR concurred and Pedro stepped up and headed home the rebound.Half of the Brazilian forward’s goal tally have come from the penalty spot this term.Even the boisterous Aston Villa fan who had whipped his shirt off to reveal a pasty belly glumly put it back on to sum up the visitors’ afternoon.

      CHELSEA got in some early Thursday – Sunday practice as they mount a late charge for Europe.
      And there were no signs of ‘Europa League fatigue’ as they ignored tired bodies to sweep abject West Ham aside.
      Just three days after beating Tottenham, head coach Mauricio Pochettino rallied his young players to claim a second London derby win in succession.
      This rout lifts Chelsea into seventh place where they are perched on Newcastle’s shoulders just points behind with three games each to play…

      Copy linkCopiedFull time match stats:
      This is how the match stats look at the end of the game, dominated by Chelsea in all aspects, as expected.

      Copy linkCopiedPlayer of the Match
      The prestigious SunSport player of the match award is presented by Lloyd Canfield to Noni Madueke today.
      The winger caused no end of problems for Emerson Palmieri at left-back, and chipped in with a goal and assist too.
      His assist was unselfish, as he showed a great first touch before squaring the ball to Nicolas Jackson to finish.
      His goal was a well taken header, but he peppered Areola in goal all day long, and was unfortunate to leave with just the one goal.
      An excellent showing by the England winger, who as I said in the week, has the potential to be one of the world’s finest wingers as he matures.

      Munguia bounces back up and takes the standing count, the bell for the end of the round comes at the right time for him.

      Munguia has stopped using his jab as much in this round and is trying to fight Canelo.
      When he does he opens himself up to the calculating heavy punches from his opponent.
      Towards the end of the round Munguia lands a good combination to rock Canelo.

      Championship final day LIVE RESULTS: Ipswich SEAL automatic promotion ahead of Leeds, Birmingham City RELEGATED

      by

      IPSWICH TOWN are back in the Premier League after a 22-year wait!Kieran McKenna’s side have sealed back-to-back promotions after a 2-0 win over Huddersfield on the final day today.While Tom Brady’s Birmingham City have been relegated to the Championship.Feeling Blue
      Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town have been relegated from the Championship.
      The two clubs join Rotherham in slipping into League One, with the Millers’ relegation having been confirmed last month.
      Huddersfield went into their clash with Ipswich needing a goal difference swing of 15 to stand any chance of survival, even if they somehow beat the Tractor Boys.
      Blues, meanwhile, faced promotion-chasing Norwich at Carrow Road knowing that a win coupled with defeat for any of Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday or Blackburn Rovers would keep them up.
      Gary Rowett’s men defeated the Canaries 1-0, courtesy of a 55th minute goal by Paik Seung-ho.
      But incredibly Argyle, Wednesday and Blackburn all won to send Blues down.

      Copy linkCopiedFull report
      IPSWICH have been promoted to the Premier League.
      The Tractor Boys booked their place in the top-flight with 2-0 win over Huddersfield on the final day of the Championship season.
      Ipswich came into the game knowing they only needed to avoid defeat against the relegated Terriers – but finished a fantastic season off in style as Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson scored the goals.
      Ipswich have not been in the Premier League since the 2001/02 season.
      Led by former Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna, he has fired them to back-to-back promotions.
      When Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s former assistant took over at Portman Road in December 2021, they were 12th in the third tier.

      Copy linkCopiedFeeling Blues
      Birmingham’s 13-year Championship stay is over after today’s results.

      Their twitter post has been flooded with pictures of John Eustace. What might have been, eh….
      Copy linkCopiedSheer joy
      Everyone waiting to hear what Ipswich fan Ed Sheeran had to say about this monumental win.
      He wasn’t at Portman Road today. Instead, he was in the pits in Miami ahead of the Grand Prix this weekend.
      Copy linkCopiedInvasions galore
      It wasn’t just Ipswich fans piling onto the pitch at full time.
      Similar scenes occurred at Plymouth after securing safety with that big win over Hull.

      Copy linkCopiedMcKenna reacts
      Kieran McKenna is a ridiculously good coach.
      Now he’ll get to tussle it out with the best in the business in the Premier League next year.
      He told Sky Sports: “It means a lot. Mostly seeing how much it means to everyone, the players, the supporters, to be one of the leaders of that is absolutely massive, it’s a wonderful day,
      “I’m very, very proud of everyone involved. We’ve delivered a really good performance. It’s what we’ve done all year.
      “I’m sure it’ll sink in in a couple of days. There’s a lot of work to do, it’ll start in a couple of days time.”
