Matheus Nunes scored in the 94th minute to give Manchester City a priceless victory over fellow top-five contenders Aston Villa at Etihad Stadium and move third in the battle for a Champions League place. 23 Apr 2025
What could be a preview of next month's FA Cup final looked set to end level as City struggled to find a way through the Villa defence after Marcus Rashford cancelled out Bernardo Silva's early opener from the penalty spot. But, in the fourth minute of five added on, substitute Jeremy Doku skipped past Axel Disasi down the left, then delivered a brilliant low cross with the outside of his right boot which rolled perfectly through the six-yard box for Nunes, who drilled his first Premier League goal of the season into the bottom corner. It was a familiar feeling for Villa, who have now lost an incredible 15 successive league games at Manchester City. The importance of the goal was shown in the celebrations of manager Pep Guardiola at full-time, who hugged Nunes in delight, then made his way round the rest of his squad before saluting the home fans. City are now third in the table, four points clear of Villa and Chelsea, who have a game in hand and remain just outside the top five. And crucially, while City's run-in includes matches against Wolves and relegated Southampton, Chelsea must play Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
Dani Olmo scored the decisive goal as Barcelona dominated Mallorca to extend their lead at the top of La Liga. 23 Apr 2025
The Spain midfielder scored 41 seconds into the second half after Barcelona failed to score with any of the 24 shots they took in the first half. Mallorca goalkeeper Leo Roman produced fine saves to deny Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres before the break, as the visitors hung on under suffocating Barcelona pressure. In one surreal passage of play, Roman and his defenders denied Barca from inside the penalty area four times in the space of 15 seconds. Though the Balearic side only had 22% possession in the first half, they did get in behind Barcelona's high defensive line on three occasions and were denied an opener by the offside flag. Barcelona were whistled off at half-time, but Olmo eased the growing anxiety inside the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys with a cool left-footed finish. Hansi Flick - who made seven changes to his side with an eye to Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid - introduced Raphinha and Fermin Lopez after the break as Barca searched for a second goal, but Roman produced 11 saves in total to keep his side in it. Barcelona took 40 shots - the most any La Liga side has attempted this season - while Mallorca failed to register an effort on target. Barcelona now hold a seven-point lead at the top of the table, with closest challengers Real Madrid playing Getafe on Wednesday. Europa League-chasing Mallorca remain seventh with 44 points, one ahead of Celta Vigo who have played one game fewer.
Five teams separated by three points - race for Europe is intensifying. 22 Apr 2025
Nottingham Forest seriously boosted their Champions League qualification hopes on Monday with a win at Tottenham that lifted them to third in the Premier League table. Just three points separate Forest and Aston Villa in seventh, with the Premier League's top five guaranteed a spot in the Champions League next season. After Chelsea and Manchester City both won at the weekend Nuno Espirito Santo's side had slipped from fourth to sixth before their match with Spurs. But Forest, who have twice lifted the European Cup but haven't played in Europe's premier competition since 1980, rallied with a 2-1 win.
Burnley clinched promotion back to the Premier League with a win that also sent Leeds United up and consigned Sheffield United to the Championship play-offs. 22 Apr 2025
The Clarets extended their unbeaten run to 31 games with Josh Brownhill scoring twice, a victory that clinched a top-two place along with the Whites, who beat Stoke City earlier in the day. For the Blades, a fourth defeat in five games means they will finish third and have to fight their way through the post-season if they are to claim the third promotion spot. Scott Parker's side have built their campaign on a remarkable defensive effort and the win means they have secured promotion by breaking a 104-year-old record for their longest unbeaten run. Chris Wilder's side go into the play-offs searching for the form that saw them go four points clear at the top at the end of March, although they had the small consolation of seeing Tom Cannon score his first goal for the club following his January move from Leicester City.
Leeds United promoted back to Premier League. 22 Apr 2025
Leeds United have been promoted back to the Premier League after two years in the Championship. The Whites secured promotion with two games to spare after Sheffield United lost at second-placed Burnley, a result which meant the Clarets also confirmed their return to the top flight. Daniel Farke's men had crushed Stoke City 6-0 in their own game earlier on Monday to leave promotion a mere formality. They will win the title with victories over Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle in their final two matches, barring a mathematical miracle goal difference swing from Burnley.
