The second-half substitute poked the ball past Rui Silva late on to give the Premier League leaders a narrow advantage going into next week's second leg at Emirates Stadium. The pressure was on Arsenal coming into this match after they suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season. And that tension was nearly increased further when Sporting left-back Maxi Araujo crashed a shot against the Arsenal crossbar early on after a superb through ball from Ousmane Diomande. The Gunners had plenty of possession in the first half but could not translate that into clear-cut chances. The closest they came to scoring was when Noni Madueke hit the crossbar direct from a corner. Sporting continually threatened with fast counter-attacks and almost punished the Gunners when Araujo made another burst forward and cut the ball back to Francisco Trincao, who pulled his shot wide. Martin Zubimendi thought he had given Arsenal a second-half lead when he curled in from the edge of the box, but the strike was ruled out as former Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres was offside in the build-up. The hosts piled on the pressure in the latter stages and David Raya made three good saves to keep the scores level, before Havertz snatched the win for the Gunners. The victory is Arsenal's first in three matches and gives Mikel Arteta's side a boost as they return to Premier League action against Bournemouth at the weekend.

In a bad-tempered match, Barca were heading for a frustrating draw against opponents who played the whole of the second half with 10 men following Nico Gonzalez's straight red card at the end of the first half. After Atletico defeated Barca over two legs in the Copa del Rey semi-final, this was the fourth meeting between the two rivals this season, with another two fixtures to follow inside the next two weeks in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In an incident-filled encounter, the home side took the lead through a well-placed finish by Giuliano Simeone, the son of Atletico boss Diego, in the 39th minute. But their lead lasted just three minutes, with England forward Marcus Rashford scoring through the legs of goalkeeper Juan Musso before Gonzalez was shown a straight red for denying Lamine Yamal a goalscoring opportunity. Substitute Marc Bernal wasted a golden chance to put Barca ahead deep in first-half stoppage time before more controversy early in the second half. Barca's Gerard Martin was shown a red card for an ugly challenge on Thiago Almada. But, much to Atletico's anger, it was downgraded to a yellow after the referee was instructed to watch it again on the pitchside monitor. The visitors piled forward in search of a winner, Musso producing a fine save to deny former Manchester City forward Ferran Torres before Lewandowski, 37, scored the late winner. It came after Musso was unable to hold Joao Cancelo's attempt, the ball hitting Lewandowski on the shoulder and flying into the net. "It's not easy to play here because the atmosphere and emotions are very high here," Barca boss Hansi Flick said after the game. "I am really happy with these three points. "We need this hunger. We have to win the games. We have eight games to play. We have to stay focused and always be ready. "We know that Champions League is totally different and every players has more to give. Everyone wants to be in the semi-final. We have three days more to prepare, to rest a little bit and focus on the next game. These are the kind of games why I do this job." With eight games to go, Barcelona have 76 points while nearest rivals Real Madrid, who suffered a surprise defeat at struggling Mallorca earlier on Saturday, have 69. The top two sides are due to meet on 10 May in Barcelona. Atletico stay fourth on 57 points and will travel to face Barcelona on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-final first leg (20:00 BST kick-off).

While Mallorca celebrated moving two points clear of the relegation zone with their victory in the afternoon sun, Real's gloom deepened further on Saturday evening. Already four points adrift of Barcelona, that became seven when Hansi Flick's side came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid in the late game. Eight rounds of games remain, with Barcelona firmly in the driving seat to retain their title. Hosts Mallorca went ahead against Real four minutes before half-time when Manu Morlanes met a cross from the right delivered by Pablo Maffeo, took a touch to compose himself, and slotted into the bottom right corner. Real thought they had salvaged a point in the 88th minute when Eder Militao heading in superbly from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner. However, Muriqi had other ideas and struck his 19th league goal of the season in the first minute of stoppage time to give the hosts a superb win. Arbeloa's visitors had several chances before Mallorca took the lead, but home goalkeeper Leo Roman was in fine form. Kylian Mbappe raced past two Mallorca defenders and swung a shot towards goal but Roman's outstretched leg denied him. The France captain was thwarted once more when Roman pushed his curled effort behind when it was headed into the far corner. Arda Guler's low driven shot was well saved by Roman as Los Blancos continued to be frustrated. At the other end, Morlanes headed over from six yards but made up for his miss by putting Mallorca ahead. The late drama left the visitors dejected, with a first defeat by Mallorca since February 2023 proving a major blow to Real's prospects of La Liga glory. Real will hope to return to winning ways when they host Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday (20:00 BST).

England captain Kane was ruled out with the ankle problem that meant he missed the Three Lions' 1-0 defeat by Japan at Wembley on Tuesday. Manager Vincent Kompany is remaining "positive" the former Tottenham forward could feature in the first leg of Bayern's Champions League quarter-final at Real Madrid on Tuesday. Without him, Bayern looked on course to suffer only their second league defeat of the season as they trailed 2-0 in the 81st minute after goals from Johan Manzambi and Lucas Holer. But 20-year-old Tom Bischof scored twice with fine strikes from outside the penalty area, including a 92nd-minute equaliser, to make it 2-2. Karl, 18, capped the superb fightback when he was left free at the back post to convert from Alphonso Davies' low cross to give Bayern victory. That goal was the 100th Bayern have scored in the Bundesliga this season, from only 28 matches. Freiburg had earlier forced Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who turned 40 last week, into a stunning reflex save to keep out Philipp Lienhart's diving header, though it was then judged offside so would not have counted any way. There was nothing Neuer could do about Manzambi's stunning 25-yard strike in the first minute of the second half. Freiburg doubled their advantage in the 71st minute when Holer scored after Neuer palmed a corner into his path. But Bayern fought back in style with three goals late on for a fantastic victory.

The match was Arsenal's first after their Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City and followed an international break which was notable for 11 Gunners players withdrawing from their national teams because of injury. However, Mikel Arteta was still able to name a side containing captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes, with Arsenal eager to clear this hurdle. Despite Arsenal having such senior players in their ranks, and dominating possession, it was Southampton who were the side to create the better chances. They were duly rewarded, with exuberant celebrations breaking out at full-time at St Mary's. Now a Wembley trip awaits Southampton in the semi-finals, with Arsenal's hopes of a league and cup double crushed. Championship promotion hopefuls Saints were on a 14-match unbeaten run coming into this game and their plan to get the ball forward quickly and behind the Arsenal defence caused the Gunners problems throughout. It was from a floated ball into the penalty area that the home side took the lead in the 35th minute. England defender White misjudged the flight of James Bree's delivery from the right, and that allowed Ross Stewart to control and swiftly plant a sweet finish past Kepa Arrizabalaga and into the right corner. Arsenal manager Arteta made a triple change in the second half, with Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Riccardo Calafiori coming on, but Southampton continued to threaten. Tom Fellows flashed a ball just over the top of the Arsenal goal before the dangerous Leo Scienza hit the crossbar with a curling effort. The visitors drew level when Gabriel's clever pass put Havertz through into the area and he cut the ball back for Gyokeres to level in the 68th minute. But Southampton were not to be denied, and substitute Charles sent the home fans wild as he took on a short pass from Fellows and finished smartly into the bottom left corner. Arsenal searched for a second equaliser but found it was beyond them, as Southampton reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2021.
