Lampard took charge of the final match of his brief second spell as Chelsea manager on Sunday when the Blues were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle. As Chelsea's record goalscorer, Lampard will always be held in high regard by the club's fans, who afforded him a warm send-off at Stamford Bridge. But Lampard knows Mauricio Pochettino, reportedly set to be confirmed as his successor imminently, faces a massive task to revitalise a squad that performed so poorly this term. Chelsea's 12th place finish... Читать дальше...

But City's hopes of defeating their bitter rivals at Wembley next weekend would be hit if De Bruyne, Grealish and Dias are unable to recover from their injuries in time. Читать дальше...

A point on the south coast left Liverpool in fifth place, with Klopp's men having arrived at St Mary's knowing they had missed out on a top-four finish for the first time since the 2015/16 season. Liverpool, however, at least looked as if they would finish a trophy-less term with a flourish thanks to early goals from Diogo Jota and outgoing fans' favourite Roberto Firmino. Yet they were left having to scramble for a point from 4-2 behind following Kamaldeen Sulemana's double for Southampton, whose... Читать дальше...

Abdoulaye Doucoure's stunning strike earned a 1-0 win over Bournemouth that will stretch Everton's stay in the top flight to 70 years as Leicester and Leeds joined Southampton in heading down to the Championship.

And the club's woes are not restricted to their performance on the field. Everton are facing Premier League charges over an alleged breach of financial... Читать дальше...

Imanol Alguacil's Basque outfit finished fourth in La Liga despite defeat only thanks to Villarreal losing too.

Rain began 35 minutes before the toss and went on for over two hours and 40 minutes before it stopped and raised hopes for the game to begin at the world's biggest cricket stadium. But a second downpour washed out the day, leaving thousands of fans, who had taken shelter in the covered areas of the 132,000-seater stadium, disappointed.

The 41-year-old Spaniard hoped to challenge for a rare victory for Aston Martin, but was thwarted by the defending double world champion Max Verstappen's pace in his Red Bull and his own tyre-choice error when heavy rain arrived. He recovered to finish a convincing second – his fifth podium finish in six races – and become the oldest top-three finisher since Australian Jack Brabham, who was 44 when he finished second in 1970. "That was difficult," said Alonso after a race that ran for an hour and 48 minutes... Читать дальше...

A year after local hero Leclerc's hopes of victory were upset by a late call to take slick tyres in the 2022 race, won by Red Bull's Sergio Perez, the Italian team were embroiled in another public row over their tactics.

The Catalans face Wolfsburg in Eindhoven on June 3, aiming to lift the trophy for the second time, while the German side have also won it twice. Bronze, however, is a three-time Champions League winner with Lyon and that experience could count in the Netherlands. Even her two-time Ballon d'Or winning team-mate Alexia Putellas has been questioning her about it. "It's funny because I don't think it's the youngest players that ask that much," English right-back Bronze said in an interview with international media. Читать дальше...

Heading into the round two points ahead of Bayern, Dortmund needed to beat mid-table Mainz at home to break the decades-long Bavarian stranglehold on the title. After 25 minutes, Dortmund were 2-0 down, having conceded goals either side of a missed Sebastien Haller penalty, just the Ivorian's second miss in 28 attempts throughout his career.
