Blues boss Pep Guardiola was watching from the stands as Grealish - making his first league start since December - applied the finishing touch to a second-minute cutback from Savinho. At least Guardiola, who is serving a touchline ban, saw the goal. Hundreds of home fans had not taken their seats by that point as part of a protest against anticipated season ticket price rises and a new commercial deal with ticket resale agency Viagogo. Omar Marmoush, who led the hosts' attack in place of the injured Erling Haaland, added a second just before the half-hour, rattling a first-time effort in off the underside of the bar when Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen failed to hold Ruben Dias' chipped ball into the penalty area. Amid a litany of sorry statistics, Leicester have now lost 14 of their past 15 league games and remain 12 points from safety, with just eight games to save themselves from an immediate return to the Championship. They have become only the fourth side in English top-flight history to lose seven consecutive games without scoring, have conceded the first goal in 25 of their 30 games, and are still to keep a clean sheet away from home.

Arne Slot's men require only 13 points from a possible 24 available to guarantee a deserved and record-equalling 20th top-flight triumph. The Red were being frustrated by Everton's backline sitting deep, but claimed the three points courtesy of a moment of magic from Diogo Jota. The Portugal forward was on the periphery of the game but collected Luis Diaz's cute backheel before showcasing dancing feet by jinking past challenges and slotting home. Replays showed Diaz had been standing in an offside position earlier in the build-up to the goal, but he was deemed not to be interfering with play and it was allowed to stand Before the deadlock was broken, there was another moment of controversy with Everton defender James Tarkowski incredibly fortunate to stay on the pitch. Tarkowski received only a yellow card early on when he won the ball with a sliding challenge but caught Alexis Mac Allister on the knee with his studs with the follow-through. The video assistant referee (VAR) decided not to upgrade the tackle to a red card and Dominik Szoboszlai curled the resulting free-kick narrowly wide, while the in-form Mohamed Salah headed straight at Jordan Pickford at the back post. Beto had the Liverpool backline rattled and saw a goal ruled out for offside after outmuscling Virgil van Dijk. The striker got the better of the Reds captain again, but this time could only hit the post when one-on-one with Caoimhin Kelleher. Liverpool and their supporters looked to up the ante in the second period and Ryan Gravenberch's stinging drive from range was pushed away by Pickford, but Jota's 56th-minute strike made the difference.

It will be the eighth time there has been an El Clasico in the Spanish Cup final, with the nation's two most successful club sides set to meet on 26 April in Seville. Ferran Torres' first-half effort proved decisive for Barcelona at Metropolitano Stadium, with the Spain forward poking the ball past Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso after Lamine Yamal's superb pass had split the home defence. It was no more than the visitors deserved, with 17-year-old Yamal a constant source of danger and Raphinha also twice threatening to extend Barca's lead. Unlike the thrilling first-leg tie in February, when Diego Simeone's side twice scored late on in a dramatic 4-4 draw, this was a tighter and more tense affair without the grandstand finish from Atletico. The hosts did have opportunities. Substitute Alexander Sorloth elected to shoot instead of squaring the ball to Antoine Griezmann for a tap-in, while the Norway forward was also ruled offside after rattling in what he thought was an equaliser. However, in truth, Atletico were second best to Hansi Flick's side for long periods, with the record 31-time winners always appearing relatively comfortable as they extended their unbeaten run to 21 games across all competitions. The Catalan club remain the only side in Europe's top-five leagues yet to lose in 2025 and remain on course for a potential quadruple.

Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, scored his first two Villa goals in their FA Cup quarter-final win at Preston North End on Sunday. And the England forward was on the mark for the first time in the Premier League for Villa with a composed finish after a counter-attack from a Brighton corner six minutes after half-time. Brighton thought they had mounted an instant response when Simon Adingra scrambled home from close range, but the goal was disallowed for Kaoru Mitoma's handball in the build-up. Villa wrapped up the win 12 minutes from time when Marco Asensio, on loan from Paris St-Germain, was the beneficiary of unselfish work from Morgan Rogers to beat Bart Verbruggen with an emphatic drive. In the dying moments of 10 added minutes, Villa added a third when another substitute, Donyell Malen, fired across Verbruggen for his first goal for the club. It was a result that hurt Brighton's European ambitions, but keeps Villa in the hunt for a top-four place - with an FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Wembley and a Champions League quarter-final against PSG to come.

Ex-Chelsea forward Abraham opened the scoring early in the second half, firing right-footed across goalkeeper Josep Martinez into the bottom corner. Hakan Calhanoglu equalised for Inter midway through the second period, against his former club, with a powerful low drive past Mike Maignan from 25 yards. The second leg is scheduled for 23 April, with the winner facing either Bologna or Empoli in the final on 14 May. Bologna won 3-0 at Empoli in the first leg of their semi-final on Tuesday. This was the fourth Milan derby of the 2024-25 season and Serie A leaders Inter have failed to win any despite having 20 points more than their city rivals in the league. Maignan was the busier of the two goalkeepers in a goalless first half, keeping out efforts from Inter trio Joaquin Correa, Calhanoglu and Davide Frattesi. Abraham was called upon defensively too - nodding Stefan de Vrij's goalbound header to safety. Maignan denied substitute Nicola Zalewski from close range as Inter pressed for a winner in the aftermath of Calhanoglu's leveller, while at the other end Rafael Leao curled a late effort just wide from the edge of the box for Milan.
