Atletico Madrid have won one of their last eight games — their Champions League first leg quarter-final tie against Barcelona...

For the first time since August, Manchester City are top of the Premier League.

Since then, Chelsea, Arsenal & Liverpool have all topped the league.

Are Pep Guardiola's side peaking at just the right time?

Full time: 2-2. Remarkable. Leeds move onto 40 points, nine clear of 18th with four to play. Bournemouth had by far the better of it, but United hung in and never said die. So good for Longstaff to have a moment. Darlow and Struijk superb. #lufc

Following their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, Burnley have been relegated from the Premier League.

Scott Parker's side will return to the Championship after winning promotion last year.

For the first time since August, Manchester City are top of the Premier League.

Their 1-0 win over Burnley, thanks to Erling Haaland's goal, means they lead the table on goals scored.

Liam Rosenior never commanded authority at Chelsea. He was doomed from the start (Gift Article) A lack of serious coaching or playing credentials meant the head coach was never likely to ride out the Stamford Bridge storm

Liam Rosenior is an intelligent coach with bright ideas.

But he never had the CV to command authority at Chelsea — so when results started to turn, faith quickly ebbed away.

He goes down as another botched BlueCo appointment, which further damages the owners’ credibility.

@liamtwomey.bsky.social

Liam Rosenior took over in January on a deal until June 2032 but leaves less than four months later.

Although the club did not intend to review his position until much further down the line, a decline in results have dictated otherwise.

Liam Rosenior’s conservative tactics at Brighton felt like a last-ditch roll of the dice for a desperate coach who is running out of moves.

They were muddled, misguided and ultimately a horrendous mistake.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are both interested in signing Victor Munoz.

The 22-year-old Osasuna winger scored on his Spain debut in March and has a chance of making the World Cup.

Why is he so highly rated, and where do Madrid and Barca stand?

Leicester City have been relegated for the second season in a row.

Ten years ago the club were champions of England. Next season they'll play the likes of Bromley and Mansfield Town.

There is a brutal truth about Chelsea at the moment.

After last night's 3-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea have now lost five successive league games without scoring for the first time since 1912.

The trajectory is clear, the situation is untenable.

Tyler Adams: You can feel ‘sense of nervousness’ from Arsenal fans at the Emirates (Gift Article) Adams believed it is a "difficult" environment for Arsenal to thrive in, adding it was "the best thing to hear" as a visiting player.

Bournemouth and United States national team midfielder Tyler Adams admits he felt a “sense of nervousness” from the Emirates Stadium crowd during his side’s victory over Arsenal.

After tonight's 5-1 win against Portsmouth, Coventry City have won the Championship.

But who will go up in second place?

An incredible comeback from Inter sends them to the Coppa Italia final.

Cesc Fabregas' Como took a 2-0 lead at San Siro, and were 2-1 up with five minutes of normal time remaining.

But late goals from Hakan Calhanoglu & Petar Sucic means the double is still on for Cristian Chivu's side.

After defeat tonight, Chelsea could find themselves in the bottom half of the Premier League the next time they're in league action.

Chelsea's miserable Premier League form continues.

Defeat to Brighton tonight means it is one win in their last nine Premier League games, and no goals in their last five.

Brighton continue their fine run of form and make it six Premier League wins in their last eight after beating Liam Rosenior's Chelsea 3-0.

Goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood & Danny Welbeck made it a memorable night for the hosts.

After drawing with Hull City, Leicester City have been relegated to League One.

10 years ago, they were Premier League winners. Next season, they will be playing in England's third tier.

Jack Hinshelwood has given Brighton a second against Liam Rosenior's Chelsea.

The visitors are unhappy with the goal, as they feel a handball should have been given against Yankuba Minteh at the other end of the pitch.

Brighton lead Chelsea 1-0, and they should have a second.

Robert Sanchez's pass is intercepted, but thankfully for the goalkeeper, Trevoh Chalobah clears the ball off the line.

EFL clubs reject VAR proposal to allow head coaches to challenge decisions (Gift Article) The Football Video System (FVS) does not use dedicated video match officials and would require specific coach challenges to decisions.
