Five goals were scored in a breathless first half before the mayhem continued in the second period when holders PSG began to pull away, opening up a three-goal lead. But Bayern, already crowned Bundesliga champions and pushing for a Treble, cut the deficit to one to set up a scintillating second leg in Munich. As the two top-scoring sides in the competition this year, it was only fitting that the buoyant crowd were treated to such an impressive display of attacking talent in a high-quality encounter. Having fallen behind to Harry Kane's penalty after Luis Diaz drew a foul from William Pacho, PSG showcased their threat to take the lead. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia picked up the ball on the left-hand side and cut onto his right foot to superbly guide a shot into the bottom far corner before Joao Neves' glancing header gave the holders the lead. But a moment of individual brilliance from Michael Olise, jinking past players before hammering the ball beyond Matvey Safonov, put the visitors back on level terms. It seemed a blistering first half would be level at the break but PSG were awarded a controversial penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Alphonso Davies was deemed to have handled the ball in the box. Referee Sandro Scharer was sent to the monitor and subsequently awarded what appeared to be a harsh spot-kick, the ball bouncing off Davies' leg and onto his arm before Ousmane Dembele coolly converted. Bayern returned from the break determined to at least restore parity but were, at times, naive as the French side took control. Kvaratskhelia converted from Achraf Hakimi's dangerous ball before Dembele netted his second at the near post to give the hosts a three-goal cushion. Dayot Upamecano's flicked finish six minutes later was greeted only as a consolation but Diaz's finish into the far corner from Kane's brilliant pass ensured Bayern are still in the tie with the return leg taking place on Wednesday, 6 May. The winners will face Arsenal or Atletico Madrid, who play in Wednesday's semi-final, in the final in Budapest.

Calum McFarlane was put in interim charge until the end of the season and will now lead Chelsea out against Manchester City on Saturday, 16 May. Leeds' hopes of reaching a first FA Cup final since they lost to Sunderland in 1973 were dashed as they were left to regret missed chances that might have turned a tight game in their favour. Daniel Farke's side had the game's first big opportunity when Brenden Aaronson raced clear from Dominic Calvert-Lewin's touch but Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez made a crucial save with his legs. It proved to be an expensive miss as Chelsea went ahead after 23 minutes, Fernandez meeting Pedro Neto's cross with a firm header to give Lucas Perri no chance. As Chelsea took control, Joao Pedro struck the foot of the post before Leeds finally forced their way into contention after the break. Anton Stach, on at half-time, forced a diving save from Sanchez within seconds, then Calvert-Lewin missed a glorious opportunity when he headed straight at Chelsea's keeper from close range. The closing stages were tense as Chelsea closed out the win, a response to Rosenior's dismissal after only 106 days, and they will now attempt to end a run of losing their past three FA Cup finals.

Mikel Arteta's side had dropped to second place for the first time since October after Manchester City's win against Burnley in midweek had seen them go top of the table on goal difference. Arsenal started the game well and took the lead in the ninth minute through Eze after a well-worked short corner. The England international was passed the ball on the edge of the box by Kai Havertz and curled an excellent strike into the top corner. Newcastle had chances of their own through William Osula, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali but could not find a way to score in the first half. Eddie Howe introduced Yoane Wissa and Harvey Barnes after the break as the away side chased an equaliser. And Wissa missed a golden opportunity late on to level the match as Newcastle were defeated for the fourth league match in a row. The win moves Arsenal three points clear at the top of the Premier League having played a game more than title-rivals Manchester City. The only negative of the day for the Gunners was that both Havertz and Eze had to be substituted with injury.

Pep Guardiola's side have already lifted the Carabao Cup this season and will return to the capital on Saturday, 16 May when they will be heavy favourites against either Chelsea or Leeds United. The Spaniard made eight changes to the side that edged past Burnley in midweek and City's second string were unable to find any rhythm or create clear-cut chances in a scrappy opening period. Omar Marmoush's shot at the near post was kept out by the feet of Southampton goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, while Saints celebrations were cut short when Leo Scienza's cool finish was disallowed for offside. Southampton managed their first shot on target on 55 minutes but Ross Stewart's effort was straight into the grasp of James Trafford, while at the other end, substitute Savinho's bending strike was pushed away by Peretz. The semi-final came alive 11 minutes from time when Finn Azaz curled home an unstoppable strike into the top corner from 20 yards out to spark joyous scenes in the Saints end, but they were silenced just two minutes later when Jeremy Doku's deflected shot crept into the far corner. And with extra-time looming, Nico Gonzalez stepped up to power home a thumping strike past the reach of Peretz to turn the game around for City in their search for a third FA Cup triumph under Guardiola.

Sweden forward Isak has endured a bitterly frustrating spell since completing a British record £125m move from Newcastle. But he set Liverpool on their way to a third straight top-flight win when his shot into the ground from 12 yards looped over the head of Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson and into the net. Liverpool's third-choice keeper Freddie Woodman made his first Premier League appearance for the Reds as Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili were both injured. Woodman made a diving save to keep out Jean-Philippe Mateta's header moments before Liverpool made it 2-0 through Andy Robertson. The Scotland full-back finished off a fine counter-attack with a precise finish following a lightning attack involving Curtis Jones. Palace set up a grandstand finish when Daniel Munoz scored from outside the box with Woodman down injured, before Eagles substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen hit the post in the 84th minute. But the Reds sealed victory through Florian Wirtz deep into stoppage time, a right-foot finish from inside the box.
