What's new

English Premier League | 2020/21 Discussion

West Brom's Premier League future is all but over after Sam Allardyce's side could only secure a point from their Black Country derby with Wolves.

Allardyce's proud record of never being relegated now requires his side to win all four of their remaining games, beginning with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, and hope the five teams outside the drop zone that they can still catch fail to win another match.

That combination seems highly unlikely, even with the battling qualities West Brom showed during a game played in torrential rain to earn a point through Mbaye Diagne's header after Fabio Silva's fortunate first-half opener had put Wolves in front.

Nuno Espirito Santo's depleted squad, who lost Wily Boly in the build-up to a positive coronavirus test, carried the greater threat for most of the contest, with Baggies keeper Sam Johnstone saving well from Nelson Semedo and Adama Traore either side of the interval.

However, while Silva ran away in jubilant celebration after sending the ball over Johnstone and into the net stoppage time, replays showed the young Portuguese knew nothing about it as Kyle Bartley's clearance cannoned off his standing foot.

Diagne levelled when he powered home Conor Townsend's cross.
 
Michail Antonio scored twice as West Ham came from behind to defeat Burnley and maintain their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Burnley striker Chris Wood won and converted a penalty in the first half, before Antonio headed in Vladimir Coufal's teasing cross to equalise.

Returning after four weeks out with a hamstring injury, Antonio poked in Said Benrahma's curling delivery for his second eight minutes later.

West Ham created numerous chances to extend their lead but Burnley could have made it 2-2 when Jay Rodriguez lashed a shot wide from close range.

It was a pleasing performance from the Hammers, who move up to fifth place in the table, just three points behind Chelsea in fourth.

Burnley remain nine points above the relegation zone with four games remaining.
 
Premier League releases statement about return of fans


The Premier League have released a statement regarding the return of supporters to stadiums.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom in early 2020, all football in the country was postponed in March and did not resume until June. The end of the 2019/20 season was played behind closed doors.

The 2020/21 campaign began in September, with all games still being played in empty stadiums. Fans briefly returned to certain grounds in December, but they were soon shut again.
The Premier League hoped that spectators would be able to attend the last two games of the season. Now, they have reaffirmed that ambition in a statement via their official website.

They have confirmed that subject to a government decision, fans will be present for the final two matchweeks of the season. However, this will be in a limited capacity, with only home fans allowed to attend.

“The Premier League last week confirmed fixtures have been rescheduled to provide an opportunity for each club to host one home match with supporters before the end of the season,” the statement read.

“Matchweek 37 will now be played on 18-19 May, with the final matches of the season kicking off at 16:00 BST on Sunday 23 May as planned.

“Following consultation with clubs, it was agreed matches would not be open to away supporters due to varying operational challenges across the League and the need to deliver a consistent approach while maximising the opportunity for home-fan attendance.”

This could have an impact on the race for the Champions League. Chelsea’s final home game of the season comes against Leicester City, and the Foxes end the campaign at home to Tottenham Hotspur. The presence of fans could play a huge part in these fixtures.

Meanwhile, barring an almighty collapse, Manchester City will be able to lift the Premier League trophy in front of their fans on May 23 after their fixture against Everton.

The FA are planning to allow fans into Wembley Stadium for the FA Cup final on May 15. 4,000 attended the semi-final between Leicester and Southampton, and 8000 watched the Carabao Cup final clash between Man City and Tottenham.

Meanwhile, UEFA are aiming for 25% capacity at this summer’s delayed European Championships.

HALF-TIME
Leicester 0-2 Newcastle

Who would have thought it from a side that has scored a league-low of 33% of their goals in the first half of games this season.

Newcastle have only been ahead at half-time in four Premier League matches this term.
 
Newcastle moved to within one point of Premier League safety with an impressive win over Champions League-chasing Leicester City.

Joe Willock put the visitors ahead with a cool finish after pouncing on an error from Foxes defender Caglar Soyuncu.

Paul Dummett doubled the Magpies' lead, rising above Wesley Fofana to head past Kasper Schmeichel from Matt Ritchie's corner.

Callum Wilson's second-half double wrapped up the three points, before late goals from Marc Albrighton and Kelechi Iheanacho for the hosts.

The result moves Steve Bruce's side up to 13th, 12 points ahead of 18th-placed Fulham who have four games left.

Leicester, in third, remain five points ahead of fifth-placed West Ham but have now played a game more.
 
Patrick Bamford scored for Leeds United in front of watching England boss Gareth Southgate to help dent Tottenham's European chances.

In an absorbing game at Elland Road, Stuart Dallas put Leeds ahead with his eighth league goal of the season, the Northern Ireland midfielder pouncing from close range after Hugo Lloris' terrific reaction save to prevent Sergio Reguilon putting through his own net.

The lead lasted 12 minutes, Son Heung-min equalising with a clinical finish after Dele Alli was allowed to run unchallenged before threading a clever pass into the South Korea forward's path.

But Leeds responded through Bamford, who tapped in Ezgjan Alioski's cross before substitute Rodrigo confirmed Spurs' first league defeat in three games under interim manager Ryan Mason.

On a frustrating day for Spurs, Harry Kane had two goals ruled out for offside and hit the bar from a free-kick, while Illan Meslier produced an excellent save to keep out Serge Aurier's deflected attempt.

With three matches left, sixth-placed Spurs are five points off fourth spot with both teams immediately above them - West Ham and Chelsea - having games in hand.

Leeds, who started the weekend in 11th spot, climbed above Aston Villa and Arsenal - who both play on Sunday - into ninth.
 
Crystal Palace secured their Premier League status for another season with a comfortable (0-2) victory at already-relegated Sheffield United.

Christian Benteke scored with a deflected shot after 66 seconds to claim his fourth goal in 10 games for Palace, and had chances to improve that tally.

The Belgian striker, 30, had a point-blank header saved by Aaron Ramsdale before firing against a post in the second half.

Captain John Egan spurned Sheffield United's best chance of an equaliser shortly after the interval, slicing over from a corner from six yards out.

But Ebere Eze broke forward late on to convert a second and secure the Eagles' first win in five games, putting them beyond reach of third-bottom Fulham.

That capped a fine performance by the English midfielder, 22, who breezed past Egan in the opening minute before laying off to Benteke, whose shot struck George Baldock and bounced over Ramsdale into the Blades' net.

Jeffrey Schlupp's cross then picked out Benteke, who is out of contract this summer, but he directed a free header too close to Ramsdale.

Benteke also struck a post after dispossessing John Fleck, while substitute Jordan Ayew twice went close to a rare goal.

And the Blades, who handed 17-year-old striker Daniel Jebbison his debut off the bench, offered little in response as their miserable season lurched closer to several unwanted records - such as most defeats and fewest goals scored in a Premier League campaign.
 
FULL-TIME

Man City 1-2 Chelsea

City will not be winning the title tonight!

Chelsea beat them in the FA Cup, they've beaten them here in the league. There's a bigger one to come soon.

Advantage to Thomas Tuchel's side ahead of Istanbul.
 
Sergio Aguero made a mess of a Panenka penalty as Chelsea ensured Manchester City must wait a little longer to wrap up the Premier League title by fighting back to earn a dramatic win at Etihad Stadium.

City, needing three points to become champions of England for the seventh time, took the lead just before half-time through Raheem Sterling's close-range strike.

Aguero had a glorious chance to make it 2-0 from the spot moments later when Billy Gilmour fouled Gabriel Jesus, but the Argentina striker opted for a dinked effort that was easily saved by Edouard Mendy.

It proved a costly miss, as Chelsea improved after the break and equalised when Cesar Azpilicueta set up Hakim Ziyech to fire home from the edge of the area.

The visitors had two more efforts ruled out for offside before Marcus Alonso won it for them in injury time, meeting Timo Werner's pull-back and sending the ball looping over Ederson.

This was Chelsea's second win over City in the space of three weeks, following their victory in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley in April.

The two sides will meet again in the Champions League final in Istanbul at the end of this month.
 
Liverpool boosted their hopes of Champions League qualification by beating Southampton to put pressure on fourth-placed Leicester City.

Newcastle United beat the Foxes 4-2 on Friday and Jurgen Klopp's men took full advantage by moving within six points of the top four with four games remaining - while Leicester have three.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring against his former club, heading home Mohamed Salah's cross moments after Alisson had made two saves in quick succession.

Alisson gifted Southampton a chance to equalise late in the game when he passed straight to Che Adams, but the Brazil goalkeeper made amends by saving the Scotland striker's shot.

Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara then scored his first Liverpool goal in stoppage time to hand Klopp his 100th win at Anfield in all competitions.

Southampton are still not safe from relegation but their Premier League status could be secured when West Bromwich Albion and Fulham play later this weekend.
 
FULL TIME: Wolves 2-1 Brighton

Traore finally back in form again, lovely to watch when he is.
 
Manchester United virtually guaranteed a Premier League top-four finish and ensured rivals Manchester City must wait to be crowned champions as they came from behind to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Having sealed their place in the Europa League final despite a 3-2 second-leg defeat by Roma on Thursday, second-half goals from Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood and substitute Edinson Cavani ensured Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side require a single point from their remaining four games to secure a Champions League place.

A win for Villa would have sealed the title for leaders City - beaten 2-1 by Chelsea on Saturday - and Bertrand Traore's emphatic finish into the top corner midway through the first half threatened to do just that.

Emiliano Martinez was equal to attempts from Greenwood and Marcus Rashford as United struggled to respond initially, while Dean Henderson kept out Ollie Watkins' strike to deny Villa a second before half-time.

United levelled shortly after the restart when Fernandes calmly slotted in a penalty after Douglas Luiz needlessly fouled Paul Pogba, and Greenwood completed a four-minute turnaround when his low strike found the bottom corner.

A VAR check for handball against Greenwood was dismissed after Luiz headed the ball onto the arm of the United forward and the visitors successfully resisted late Villa pressure despite the loss of captain Harry Maguire to injury, before Cavani confirmed victory in the closing stages.

In a frantic finale, Villa forward Watkins also received a red card for a second booking for simulation when under pressure from goalkeeper Henderson.

United are 10 points behind champions-elect City but will have the chance to move within four points as they face Leicester and Liverpool before the leaders next play.
 
Everton reinforced their European credentials with a hard-earned win away to Champions League hopefuls West Ham.

After being fourth in the Premier League at the turn of the year, the Toffees slipped to eighth having won just six of their first 18 league games in 2021.

But Ben Godfrey's slide-rule pass allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score his 16th league goal of the season in the first half at London Stadium.

And manager Carlo Ancelotti's decision to play with three centre-backs was justified as his side defended resolutely to secure a second straight away win in London, having also won 1-0 at Arsenal last month.

Everton remain eighth but are now three points behind seventh-placed Tottenham and six behind fifth-placed West Ham - with a game in hand on both.
 
West Brom relegated to the Championship after a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates.
 
Fulham relegated to the Championship after losing at home to Burnley
 
FULL-TIME - MAN CITY CROWNED CHAMPIONS
Man Utd 1-2 Leicester

That's it!

Leicester beat Manchester United at Old Trafford and that means Manchester City are Premier League champions!

LP fans right now, i wonder if KingkhanWC is in the same way

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">“Ole Gunnar Bellend” <br><br>Ole's got Liverpool fans in tears 😂<br><br> <a href="https://t.co/VAcUW4ahQ0">pic.twitter.com/VAcUW4ahQ0</a></p>— MUHQ News (@MUHQNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/MUHQNews/status/1392205807660503042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 11, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
 
Danny Ings scored twice as Southampton fought back to beat Crystal Palace in an entertaining Premier League affair.

Ings, returning from a hamstring injury, steered a low effort into the bottom corner to level after Christian Benteke had driven in an early opener for the visitors.

And the hosts, who were thankful for goalkeeper Fraser Forster's penalty save from Luka Milivojevic, had the better of a seesaw contest after the break.

Che Adams put them ahead with a neat close-range finish from Stuart Armstrong's corner and Ings latched on to a pass from his strike partner to round off the scoring.

Saints' first win in five games moves them up to 14th in the table, with Palace in 13th, a point above them.
 
Chelsea missed the opportunity to strengthen their place in the top four as Emile Smith Rowe's second Premier League goal in as many games gave Arsenal victory.

The game's only goal came in the first half courtesy of a terrible mistake by Jorginho, who misjudged a pass back to his goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who clawed the ball off the line but only to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who teed up Smith Rowe to slot in.

Chelsea dominated from then on as Mason Mount twice went close, seeing a volley inside the box blocked before the England international drew a good save out of Bernd Leno.

Christian Pulisic thought he had equalised on the hour but his strike was ruled out by the video assistant referee for offside, while substitute Olivier Giroud should have done better but swung wildly at his shot after a mistake by Mohamed Elneny.

The hosts then twice went agonisingly close to rescuing a point in stoppage time as Leno pushed Kurt Zouma's header onto the bar before Giroud's volley also bounced back off the woodwork, but Arsenal held on to take the three points.

The victory also meant the Gunners completed the double over the Blues to boost their own hopes of ensuring they are playing European football next season.

Chelsea remain fourth on 64 points, six ahead of West Ham and seven ahead of Liverpool, who have two games in hand on Thomas Tuchel's side.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are eighth and just one point behind Tottenham in seventh, although have played a game more.
 
HALF TIME: Man United 1-2 Liverpool

Fernandes gave Man United the lead, but goals from Jota, then Firmino right before half time have Liverpool in the lead. Seems Man United only show up when they start losing the game, so the 2nd half should be interesting.
 
Roberto Firmino scored twice as Liverpool boosted their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes curled in an early opener before Diogo Jota flicked in a clever equaliser.

Firmino scored twice either side of half-time, heading home a second before tapping in a third for his side.

Marcus Rashford swept in to make it 3-2 but Mohamed Salah got a late fourth.

Victory means Liverpool are up to fifth and four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand, which is an away trip to already-relegated West Brom.
 
Swept the devils aside like a bad habit! Owned them for most of the match making them chase shadows for most off 90 minutes on their own ground. Could even afford to hit the bar when it was easier to score or perhaps Jota felt sorry for them. This was the Liverpool of last season pressing high, crunching tackles and no nonsense finishing up front. Man Utd were properly exposed again as they were against Leicester only that we put four past them with ease. I felt we had a couple of gears available if we really wanted to bash them hard even leaving Mane on the bench. As for the devils enjoy the humble pie after getting your backsides kicked hard on your pwn pitch by the angel's:hasnain

LP fans getting there only excitment of the season beating us in a meaningless game for us, while at the same time there heading towards playing in next season what there own fans named the mickey mouse cup :)))
 
Utd 2 -4 Liverpool. This could have 2-8, the domincace of Liverpool was evident in the match.

The odd Utd fan will claim its a not an important game to save face. Any match between LFC and Utd is huge, most supporters who arent deluded know this.

If LFC win the next 3, Champions League spot is very much likely ,as Chelsea face Leicester.

It could have also been 5-2 to MU with the way the match went, we just didnt have any energy after the first 45 mins, when we did we dominated, anyway your not catching us anymore so let me remind you of something :)))

KingKhanWC said:
Group of death lol.

I never predicted LFC to win the league the year before, I said City and was right even though we only missed out due to 1 point. I think we've accumlated more points in the last two seasons, than Utd have in the last 5 lol.

So your prediction right now is Ole will be off the wheel to life the Premier League trophy in May?

Lets have a bet, if Utd finish above LFC, I will never post on football again. Vice Versa? Good for it Roy? lol

Sure no probs.

We had a bad season but still looking good for top 4. Next season we will back to our best. But to beat you at home 2-4 shows Utd wont be title condentors.

We will be title contenders with the right signings, but even if we dont make any we will still be finishing above LP again.

If you want to make top 4 now, you have to ask both chelseas and Leiceter to lose some while winning all your own, which probably wont happen,

You've extended Cavani's contract, so highly unlikely you will buy a striker. Im not sure why the Utd fans are angry at their owners? Your net spend over the last 8 years is among the highest in football history, managers have spent plenty. LFC has 1/5 of the net spend of Utd but have won CL and PL in two seasons.

We have a game in hand, Chelsea v Leicester result either way will give us a good chance. If Chelsea beat them Leicester will have to beat spurs in the last game. We have been poor against the bottom sides but our form atm is great, something you witnessed last night.

Thats not how you judge a football club, we make more money then you, and what the fans are angry at is that, COMPARED to the money we make, we have been investing peanuts to that,

as you said our net spend is among the highest but not the highest, all those teams above us do not make the same amount as us, both chelsea and city are well below us in making money but spend much more then us. This is why the fans are angry.

As for our business this summer, i dont think we will buy a striker and wait for haaland to become available which will be next summer, so if we can buy sancho, rice and a CB we will be competiting with city

your not making any sense, who is happy.

You cant win trophies if you dont invest big in the modern age, fergie oiled the machine while working on a budget and the glazers got away with taking all the money out of club, it doesnt work like that anymore, even LP only got success when they broke there own transfer records, now your back to dust and have no money in the bank.

If someone is going to take on Pep, he will atleast need the same budget as him.
 
Manchester City twice came from behind to win a Premier League classic against Newcastle in their first game since being confirmed as champions.

Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick for City and his superb backheeled finish was the highlight of a remarkable game that swung back and forth.

Pep Guardiola, who surprisingly selected Scott Carson in goal - almost a decade on from his last English top-flight game - saw his City side dominate early on but fall behind to Emil Krafth's powerful header from Jonjo Shelvey's corner.

Joao Cancelo equalised with a deflected effort into the bottom right corner and when Torres expertly turned home Ilkay Gundogan's free-kick 185 seconds later it looked as though the visitors could cut loose.

But Steve Bruce, who called upon his Newcastle side to go toe-to-toe with the champions, will have been delighted by their response.

Having been forced to soak up considerable pressure, they levelled when City defender Nathan Ake was deemed to have fouled Joelinton, allowing the Brazilian to score from the penalty spot.

A poorly judged tackle by City full-back Kyle Walker handed the Magpies a second penalty just after the hour mark, with Joe Willock following-up to score after Carson had saved his initial spot-kick.

However, man of the match Torres had the final word, guiding Gabriel Jesus' cross into the top right corner and then becoming the youngest player to score a league hat-trick for a Guardiola team, when turning in a Cancelo shot that bounced back off the Newcastle post.

It rounded off a captivating encounter and brought up another milestone for Guardiola's side, who set a new league record with their 12th consecutive victory away from home.
 
Leeds United continued a strong finish to their first season back in the Premier League with an impressive victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.

Mateusz Klich curled in from the edge of the penalty area shortly before half-time and Jack Harrison's flicked finish from Ezgjan Alioski's strike after 60 minutes all but sealed the three points.

Substitute Rodrigo then scored twice in three second-half minutes to complete a fine away win, producing a delightful chip over Bailey Peacock-Farrell for his first before rounding the Clarets keeper for Leeds' fourth.

With their Premier League safety confirmed by victory over Fulham on Monday, Burnley made a confident start but it was Patrick Bamford who went closest in the opening 10 minutes as he forced Peacock-Farrell, in for the absent Nick Pope, into action.

Charlie Taylor produced an excellent sliding block to deny Raphinha as the visitors gained a foothold, and the Brazilian forward was unable to execute an instinctive over-head attempt prior to Klich's opener.

Matej Vydra was thwarted by the outstretched leg of Illan Meslier as Burnley pushed for an equaliser, before a dominant end to the contest ensured Marcelo Bielsa's side remain on course for a top-half finish.
 
FULL-TIME
Southampton 3-1 Fulham

Nathan Tella scored his first senior goal as Southampton defeated relegated Fulham to register back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since December.

Che Adams punished poor set-piece defending to sweep Saints ahead with an instinctive half-volley when the Cottagers allowed James Ward-Prowse's free-kick to bounce in the six-yard box.

Tella came off the bench in the second half to steer home Kyle Walker-Peters' pinpoint low ball across the face of the Fulham penalty area.

Fulham, whose relegation had been confirmed by Monday's defeat at home to Burnley, pulled one back as 18-year-old Fabio Carvalho drilled in off the crossbar to score on his first Premier League start.

But the teenager's strike, Fulham's first goal from open play in more than seven and a half hours, could not prevent Scott Parker's side slipping to a seventh defeat in eight league games.

Southampton sealed victory in the closing stages as Adams and Tella combined, the latter's backheel finding Theo Walcott, whose shot looped home via a slight deflection.

FULL-TIME
Brighton 1-1 West Ham

Brighton boss Graham Potter, speaking to Sky Sports: "Good game, competitive game. Disappointing because we scored late and conceded but overall can't be disappointed with a draw. Boys gave everything, tough game.

"Second half we were better, probably the better side in the second half. Good from the players, they responded, playing against a team that is in a good moment.

"Credit to David Moyes and West Ham, they have had a good season and are fighting to be in Europe. We take a point."

Are West Ham an example for Brighton that they can be like: "In some ways. They have probably invested a lot over a few windows. They have always had a talented squad. We want to get more points, that is where we are at. Our performances have been good but it is about results.

"We are not far away but we are aware we have to improve. We will reflect, we will take a break and then analyse what we have to do to get better."

==

West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek: "We really wanted to win because we wanted to be in the Europa League or more. It’s still our dream. Two games to go and we need six points.

"We created many chances and you need to score. We started losing [recently] and it’s hard to change to winning games.

"When I came here [last season] I immediately thought of relegation but we won this fight and this season we said we wanted to play higher and it is still alive."
 
FULL-TIME
Crystal Palace 3-2 Aston Villa


Tyrick Mitchell scored a late winner as Crystal Palace twice came from behind to beat Aston Villa and damage their hopes of achieving a Premier League top-half finish.

In an engrossing encounter that belied its largely 'dead rubber' status, both sides contributed energetic displays full of attacking intent, with Palace rewarded for a superb second-half showing.
 
HALF-TIME
Spurs 1-0 Wolves

Harry Kane fires Spurs into the lead. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg plays the ball forward and Kane runs in behind Conor Coady and Romain Saiss.

Coady slides in on him in the box but Kane side-steps it and goes round Rui Patricio in the process, before curling the ball into the corner of the net.

The half-time whistle goes. That was basically the final act of the first half.
 
Tottenham boosted their hopes of qualifying for the Europa League with a comfortable Premier League win (2-0) over Wolves.

Spurs, who are five points adrift of a top-four place, leapfrog West Ham into sixth on goal difference, with Everton, who play later on Sunday, three points further back.

It was a deserved victory for the hosts who hit the woodwork three times after creating a number of excellent chances.

Harry Kane, who saw an early effort cannon off the left-hand post, set Spurs on their way, calmly slotting in the opener from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's superb pass on the stroke of half-time.

While Wolves carried a threat on the break they were forced to ride their luck at times, with Kane and Dele Alli both hitting the right-hand post within seconds of each other.

And Hojbjerg unsurprisingly doubled Spurs' advantage, reacting first after Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio had parried a Gareth Bale effort to slide the ball into the bottom right corner.

Romain Saiss, Adama Traore and Fabio Silva all had good opportunities to reply for the visitors, but not for the first time this season it was a frustrating day in front of goal for Wolves, who remain 12th in the table.
 
FULL-TIME
West Brom 1-2 Liverpool

Alisson has kept Liverpool's Champions League qualification hopes alive!

In Liverpool's entire club history since being founded in 1892, Alisson is the first goalkeeper ever to score a competitive goal for the club.


<div style="width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 55.000%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/bg35xq" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div>


Goalkeeper Alisson scored an incredible injury-time winner as Liverpool claimed a significant victory in their quest to achieve a Premier League top-four finish by coming from behind to beat West Brom.

With three points a must and just seconds left of a game in which the visitors had been frustrated by an obstinate and disciplined Baggies, the Brazilian keeper came up for a corner.

It was surely the Reds' final chance to snatch the win and so it proved as Alisson rose to glance Trent Alexander-Arnold's delivery into the far corner of the net to send the away side into delirium.

In an example of extraordinary timing, it is the first time a goalkeeper has scored a competitive goal for Liverpool in their entire history, dating back to 1892.

The stunning moment takes the Reds just a point and a place behind Chelsea in fourth and three points worse off than third-placed Leicester with two games to go.

That the Blues and Foxes face each other in their next league game gives Jurgen Klopp's side a huge opportunity to take control of their own destiny in the race for Champions League qualification when they travel to Burnley on Wednesday.

FT: Everton 0-1 Sheff Utd


Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti to BBC Sport: "We played so bad. The only result that could be possible is a defeat. As we usually did at home most of the time, we lost. I have to take responsbilty for this but I hope the players do too.

"We have two games to the end. We lost a great opportunity to have the chance to fight for Europe. We have to do our best to the end. The next one we will have fans and maybe they can help us wake up.

"It's difficult to say [why Everton are better away]. When we tried to put quality and build from the back we have more difficulties. We are more comfortable when we play direct but that is not the best style of play.

"For next season we are going to change. We have to analyse the season. Certain aspects are really good - away we did fantastic results, at home really bad. Double face.

"To be ready for Europe you have to be in Europe. We have to try to win the two games and see if we are in Europe or not. If we are we will build a squad to be in Europe. If we’re not we’ll build a squad to be better in the Premier League."

==

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom to BBC Sport: "I thought we were excellent from start to finish. It makes a difference when you get the first goal.

"We didn't create a hatful of chances but we created good ones. We were strong at the other end.

"Excellent [defensive performance]. The best while I've been in charge and the best for a while. We've had good performances and been undone by top-end quality sometimes. Today we didn't really give them a sniff.

"It's a great group of payers to work with. The spirit and honesty has got them into the Premier League. A lot of circumstances conspired against us this seaosn with fans and Covid and a hell of a lot of injuries.

"It feels better. These boys have been fighting all season. You've still got to enjoy playing in this league [after relegation]. Next season is totally different. The boys will have a break which they didn't get this season."

On Daniel Jebbison: "He's nowhere near finished. He deserves his chance. He's been put in on merit. The biggest reason he was in the team was his running power to stretch their team and be in between the posts when we put the ball in the box. The coaches have helped him develop in a short space of time.

"You can see the hard work and natural athleticism. He listens and learns. He performed his role excellently without the ball. He's scored the goal. He's certainly played his part with and without the ball."
 
Liverpool hopes still alive with the 5th place spot.

No punishment for Israel or Palestine flags at Premier League games

Clubs will face no punishment for players or fans displaying Israeli or Palestinian flags during the last week of the Premier League season, The Athletic understands.

Wesley Fofana and Hamza Choudhury displayed a Palestinian flag after Leicester’s FA Cup final win against Chelsea on Saturday. A number of players have expressed solidarity with the state amid the current conflict in the middle east.

It is understood the FA does not punish players for displaying the flag of a nation after a game. This will also apply to fans returning to stadiums in midweek and at the weekend. Clubs will also not be punished.

What happened this weekend and what is the context?
Fofana and Choudhury carried a Palestinian flag around the Wembley pitch on Saturday evening. Choudhury wore his as he collected his medal.

In the last week, the situation in Israel and Palestine has deteriorated. Weeks of tension in East Jerusalem led to clashes at a holy site revered by Muslims and Jews.

Hamas, who control Gaza, fired rockets into Israel after warning the nation to withdraw from the site. Israel has retaliated with rocket strikes into the UN-recognised state.

The official death toll in Gaza now stands at 197 people while ten have been killed in rocket attacks on Israel since last Monday.

Is there any precedent for punishments?
In 2016, Scottish side Celtic were punished for flying a Palestinian flag during a Champions League match against Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva.

They were fined £8,616, although that was by European governing body UEFA. It has no remit for punishments over Premier League games.

Punishments for those would fall to the FA. While the Premier League has a rule against players displaying any messages, political or otherwise, on undergarments during games, this does not apply generally.

Both the Israeli and Palestinian flags are considered national flags by the FA and the organisation is understood not to punish players, fans or clubs for displaying these around games.

Why could this be a problem?
There is significant scope for flags of both Israel and Palestine to be displayed this week.

Celtic supporters already have — ahead of their final home match last Wednesday, they placed Palestinian flags in some sections of Celtic Park which were later removed by the club. And this week, English fans will return to stadiums for the first time in months for the final two rounds of Premier League fixtures.

Each club will play one game in front of their supporters, either during the midweek round of fixtures on Tuesday or Wednesday, or on Sunday.

Players traditionally partake in a lap of honour at the end of the last game of the season, which could see flags displayed.

And supporters would also be able to take flags of both Israel and Palestine into grounds this weekend without facing any punishment.

After nearly four years of managing his boyhood club, Roy Hodgson will be stepping down as Crystal Palace manager at the end of this season.
 
West Ham manager David Moyes says he and the club are "well down the line" on agreeing a new contract.

The 58-year-old, whose initial 18-month contract runs out in the summer, has overseen West Ham's resurgence this term with the club seventh in the table with two games remaining.

There is an option to extend his stay by 12 months, but talks are reportedly about a new longer-term deal.

"I hope we'll get something confirmed," Moyes said.

"We're pretty well down the line with my contract. It is more likely to be after the end of the season before we do anything.

"We don't really want anything to get in the way of what we're doing just now."

Moyes returned to West Ham for a second spell in charge in December 2019, with the club 17th in the table.

In his first full season and after guiding them to safety last term, Moyes' Hammers have challenged for a top-four spot and qualification for next season's Champions League.

Their hopes of securing a place in Europe's premier club competition next term, however, were effectively ended on Saturday when they were held to a 1-1 draw with Brighton.

Qualification for a European competition, be it the Europa League or new third-tier Europa Conference League, remains a possibility with two games remaining. They face already-relegated West Brom on Wednesday and host Southampton on the final day on Sunday.

Edinson Cavani welcomed the return of fans back to the Premier League with a brilliant 40-yard lobbed goal, but Manchester United were unable to mark the occasion with a victory as relegated Fulham came back to draw at Old Trafford

Aside from a handful of games at a lucky few clubs in December, supporters have been absent from top-flight league football since 9 March 2020.

No supporters have seen a goal at Old Trafford since Scott McTominay's inspired second in United's Manchester derby win over City the day before.

There were only 10,000 present to see Cavani's inspired effort, but what a noise they made as the Uruguayan strode onto a long ball downfield from David de Gea, which VAR felt touched Bruno Fernandes on the way through, before lifting the ball over Alphonso Areola with a perfectly executed finish that floated into the net.

For a long time it looked like being the winner, until Joe Bryan was allowed to ghost in at the far post unchallenged to convert Bobby Decordova-Reid's deep cross from the right.
 
Patrick Bamford's 16th Premier League goal of the season helped Leeds United defeat Southampton in front of 8,000 fans at St Mary's Stadium.

Bamford, who had earlier missed a chance when he only had goalkeeper Alex McCarthy to beat, flicked the ball into the net following Rodrigo's ball over the Saints defence.

Leeds added a second in injury time when they countered and Bamford's strike was parried by McCarthy, with Tyler Roberts blasting in the rebound.

Southampton's best chance came early on but Che Adams' header was tipped over by Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla.

The victory takes Leeds up above Arsenal and Everton into eighth and guarantees Marcelo Bielsa's side a top-10 finish.

Southampton remain 14th in the Premier League with one game of the season remaining.
 
Brighton delighted their returning fans by coming back from two goals down to beat 10-man Manchester City at a raucous Amex Stadium.

New champions City silenced the 7,495 home fans in attendance through Ilkay Gundogan's second-minute opener, but were a man down after nine minutes, when Joao Cancelo hauled back Danny Welbeck and was sent off for a professional foul.

Phil Foden's superb solo effort put City 2-0 up - but Leandro Trossard gave Brighton hope with a cool close-range finish, and the home side then put intense pressure on the champions' goal.

Adam Webster levelled, rising highest in the box to head home Pascal Gross's delivery and set up a dramatic conclusion, roared on by the crowd.

With 14 minutes left, Dan Burn sent them in raptures with the Brighton winner, following up his own blocked shot to steer the rebound into the corner of the net.

There was still time for a nervy VAR check for a possible penalty following Adam Lallana's tackle on Gabriel Jesus in the box but the video official agreed the on-field call not to award it.

Brighton are already safe from the drop, but have now moved to 41 points and up to 15th in the Premier League table. They also have a first win over City since April 1989.

City remain on 83 points after this defeat - but of greater concern to them, with the final of the Champions League to play on 29 May, was the sight of Gundogan limping off in the second half with what appeared to be a knee injury.
 
Chelsea beat Leicester City to boost their Champions League hopes - and leave the Foxes in danger of missing out.

Just three days after Leicester beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final, Chelsea got some measure of revenge to win thanks to Antonio Rudiger and Jorginho goals in front of 8,000 fans.

Kelechi Iheanacho gave the Foxes hope but they did not create enough chances to deserve anything out of the game.

Chelsea's win takes them up to third place in the table, while Liverpool could knock Leicester down to fifth place if they win at Burnley on Wednesday.

There was no doubt Thomas Tuchel's side deserved their victory as Rudiger bundled home from close range from a corner.

Jorginho put the game beyond doubt with a penalty after Wesley Fofana clipped Timo Werner.

They had been unlucky not to be ahead at the break as Werner had a penalty appeal controversially turned down and two goals disallowed.

Iheanacho's goal after good pressure from Wilfred Ndidi was not enough for Leicester, who now need to score at least three goals against Tottenham Hotspur on the final day or hope for Liverpool to drop points.

There was a late melee, with most of the players and the benches involved too - with Leicester's Ricardo Pereira and unused substitute Daniel Amartey booked.
 
Arsenal scored twice in injury time to stun Crystal Palace and mean Roy Hodgson's last home game in charge of the Eagles ended in disappointment.

Veteran manager Hodgson, 73, announced on Tuesday he will be leaving the club at the end of the season after four years in the job and was given a heart-felt reception from the returning home supporters.

But his farewell match at Selhurst Park ended in a last-gasp defeat as Gabriel Martinelli latched onto fellow substitute Martin Odegaard's cross to convert from close range on 91 minutes before Nicolas Pepe coolly rolled in Arsenal's third four minutes later.
Christian Benteke's diving header from Andros Townsend's free-kick levelled for the home side after Pepe had volleyed in to finish off a neat Arsenal move.
Palace can move up a place to 12th on the final day if they better Wolves' result against Manchester United, while Arsenal kept alive their hopes of a top-six finish.
 
FT at Turf Moor
Bur 0 - 3 Liv

Liverpool with a huge advantage going into the final GW to claim a UCL spot.
 
It seems certain people here who thought Liverpool would not be in next years Champions League will end up with a nice big omelette on their face:rp Just need to win the last home game against Palace to secure a place unless Leicester wallop Spurs. We played well particularly Nat Phillips at the back was right on cue. 7 wins out of the last 9 or something suggests our form has returned albeit too late to save this season. We go again next season, inshallah. You know the Liver bird always fly's with hope in it's heart!:qdkcheeky
 
Sam Allardyce will leave his role as West Brom manager at the end of the season.

Allardyce suffered his first Premier League relegation when defeat at Arsenal on 9 May ensured they would drop into the Championship.

The former Bolton, Newcastle, West Ham, Sunderland and England boss succeeded the sacked Slaven Bilic at West Brom on an 18-month contract in December.

Allardyce, 66, said he felt unable to commit to Albion for the long term.

He said: "West Bromwich Albion made me a generous offer to stay at The Hawthorns that shows the commitment of an ambitious club. After serious consideration, I have decided not to accept that offer.

"If I were to stay and achieve promotion next season the expectation would be for me to continue for at least another season and, sadly, that is not a commitment I feel able to make at this stage of my career."

West Brom technical director Luke Dowling said the club had "very much hoped to have Sam in charge for next season and beyond".

The club, promoted as Championship runners-up last term, suffered their 21st defeat of the campaign with a 3-1 loss at home to West Ham on Wednesday. They are 19th in the table, having taken 26 points from 37 games.

Allardyce's final match in charge will be away to Leeds United on Sunday.

His assistant Sammy Lee and first-team coach Robbie Stockdale will also leave the club.

"Sam, Sammy and Robbie came in at a really difficult time for the football club and worked tirelessly in their efforts to keep the club in the Premier League," Dowling said.

"Unfortunately, collectively, we were unable to achieve our goal of surviving relegation. In the second half of the season, we played with passion and desire, delivering some memorable results with organised, entertaining football.

"Ultimately, we were unable to accumulate the points total required to keep us here, but Sam certainly restored pride with a number of resilient displays."

'I am a short-term manager'
Allardyce was sacked by Everton in May 2018 after six months in charge, having taken the club from 13th in the Premier League to eighth - but he was criticised for the side's style of play.

Before joining the Toffees, Allardyce had resigned as Crystal Palace manager after five months in charge, in what was his first job since a one-game spell as England manager.

"It was a long, hard decision with a lot of thought about what is best for me and the club. We chose our words very carefully. I am flattered they wanted me to stay on," Allardyce said.

He added: "I was given the assurances over the budget but it is about me being a short-term manager. When you are put in that pigeon hole, that is how I see myself now, as a troubleshooter or a Red Adair. I didn't expect to be in this situation.

"We fought and fought but were not quite good enough at the end. I was more confident we would get out of trouble. Chelsea away [a 5-2 win] was brilliant. I was sad we couldn't keep those results up."

On whether he will continue in management, Allardyce said: "We don't last forever. I went 20 years without a break. It was only when I got sacked at Newcastle when I got a break. The tingle will never leave you. It is an addiction.

"I am not going to say I am retiring because I have done that before and it makes you look a fool."

The news came as a surprise to the West Brom squad, as defender Kyle Bartley explained Allardyce only told the players when they returned to the dressing room at full-time.

"It's a bit of a shock. I think most of us expected he would be here next season," Bartley told Sky Sports. "He just said that he had come to a decision that he won't be here next year. He thinks the club would be in better hands going in a different direction."

Bartley added: "I thought he would have been fantastic for us next year. I'd have thought we would have a really good chance of going back up. But I fully respect his decision."

Speaking on BBC Match of the Day, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy, said: "He was talking about being pigeon-holed. I think he was having a little dig. But four wins in 24 is not good enough.

"You cannot hide behind the numbers. He does talk about the lack of activity early in the January window when he could have got some players in more quickly. They need a big change of direction now in terms of the way they play."

'Allardyce will wait for the call from a club in crisis'
By BBC Sport's Simon Stone:

Twenty-four hours after one former England manager confirmed he was stepping away from the club scene, Sam Allardyce has followed Roy Hodgson's lead.

At 66, Allardyce is seven years younger than Hodgson. And while it doesn't sound as though he is ready to abandon football management just yet, he was without a job for 18 months after he left Everton in 2019 before West Brom called in the middle of this season, so there can be no guarantees of another opportunity.

Indeed, given the clubs he has already managed, there are not a huge amount of obvious alternatives remaining for Allardyce to take.

A blunt, entertaining speaker, Allardyce has already proved adept as a pundit and will not be short of work if he heads in that direction.

And then, by his own admission, he will wait for the call from a club in crisis. Red Adair, Allardyce memorably said his mates have started calling him, after the renowned American oil well firefighter. He will hope there is one last fire to put out - and that when the chance comes, this time he is equal to the task.

Football's firefighter? Allardyce's managerial career

Jurgen Klopp: City couldn't have won Premier League with Liverpool's injuries

Klopp's Liverpool side finished 18 points ahead of Man City when they won the Premier League last season

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Manchester City would not have won the Premier League this season if they had to deal with his side's injury crisis.

Influential centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez missed most of the season with knee injuries.

Fellow defender Joel Matip, midfielders Fabinho and Jordan Henderson and new signing Diogo Jota were among those to also miss large parts of the campaign.

"With our injuries it was not the year to become champions," Klopp said.

"No chance - for nobody.

"As good as they are, if City have their three centre-halves out, no [they don't win the league]. Three centre-halves of [Manchester] United, no.

"We have fought back a bit, accepted the difficulties and made the best of it, and if we win on Sunday, and if we qualify for the Champions League, then we made the best of it. That is it."

Despite being top of the table at Christmas, the impact of the injuries eventually caught up with Klopp's side.

But they have bounced back, with seven victories in nine matches meaning that if they win their final match at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday they should qualify for the Champions League.

During their title-winning campaign last season Klopp frequently hailed his players as "mentality monsters".

"It is clear we wouldn't come to this situation if the boys wouldn't have showed this kind of character. They have very special character," he added.

"The boys proved it now millions of times, it's not about their mentality or character if something has gone wrong.

"Going through tough periods makes you stronger as a unit and in that time we didn't get distracted. Nothing came between us.

"Yes we had our moments, players were not in the best shape or the best mood. I was not in the best mood, but we always found a way to stick together.

"We never blamed each other or pointed a finger at each other and said, 'It is because of you or you'.

So whatever happens on Sunday, we found our way out to bring us to this situation."

Wilfried Zaha admits he is open to a fresh challenge and would not turn down a move away from Crystal Palace in order to win trophies with a "top" club.
 
Premier League final day: What is left to be decided?

It's two from three for Champions League places as the Premier League reaches its conclusion on Sunday.

Champions Manchester City have already secured a spot in the 2021-22 group stage along with Manchester United, who can finish no lower than second.

But just one point separates third-placed Chelsea and fifth-placed Leicester, who are below Liverpool on goal difference.

So what are the permutations? Which teams can still end up in the Europa League? And who will be playing in the Europa Conference League, Uefa's new third-ranked competition?

Passports at the ready - who will make Champions League?
The top four in the Premier League qualify for the Champions League group stage, as well as the winners of the Champions League and Europa League - should they finish outside the first four places.

A maximum of five English teams can play in the Champions League.

_118579523_11cl.jpg

With Champions League finalists City and Europa League finalists United already secure, only Chelsea beating City in the Champions League final and finishing fifth would see England's five-team quota fulfilled.

However, Chelsea will be guaranteed third place and a Champions League spot if they beat Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday (16:00 BST).

Liverpool and Leicester go into the final day level on 66 points and separated by goal difference, with the Reds having the edge.

If Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Anfield, Leicester would have to beat Tottenham by a five-goal margin to finish fourth - assuming Chelsea win.

With 10 games remaining, Liverpool were eighth, 10 points behind Leicester.

"In the last eight or 10 games, I don't know how many, we are back on track," said Reds boss Jurgen Klopp after Wednesday's 3-0 win at Burnley.

"If we win on Sunday then we are probably qualified for the Champions League. It's insane that we came this close but we are not through yet.

"When you win the semi-final you go to a final and that's where we are. We will give our absolute everything."

Chelsea have revived their interest in West Ham's Declan Rice and could use striker Tammy Abraham, 26, in part exchange for the 22-year-old England midfielder. Both Manchester United and Manchester City also remain interested in Rice.

Manchester United are ready to table a huge offer to bring Kane to Old Trafford. United's offer would compensate Kane for any lost earnings at Spurs. United and fellow England players Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are hoping to persuade Kane to join the club.

Guinea midfielder Naby Keita, 26, wants to leave Liverpool and his agent has approached Atletico Madrid to gauge the possibility of a move to the new Spanish champions.
 
And so the final day of the Premier League season is upon us
