Chelsea edged back into the Champions League places with a one-goal victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge. 26 Apr 2025
The win moves the Blues up to fourth in the Premier League, level on points with Nottingham Forest and a point ahead of Newcastle, who play Ipswich later on Saturday. With Forest and Aston Villa in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend, Chelsea will hold on to a top-five spot at least until Thursday, when Forest host Brentford. The crucial three points were sealed by striker Nicolas Jackson, who ended a 13-match goalless run stretching back to December. He drilled an instinctive 20-yard effort beyond Jordan Pickford and into the bottom corner in the 27th minute. Despite being the better side, Chelsea were unable to kill the game off and, given the tight nature of the race for Champions League football and the Blues' difficult league fixtures before the end of the season, there were uncomfortable moments when Everton improved in the final quarter. But the hosts' keeper Robert Sanchez saved well from both Beto and Dwight McNeil low to his right when needed. Enzo Maresca's Chelsea now play leaders Liverpool at Stamford Bridge next Sunday, then visit fellow Champions League chasers Newcastle, before hosting Manchester United, and travelling to Forest on the final day. Everton have only won one of their past nine matches and remain 13th.
Arda Guler scored the only goal as Real Madrid defeated Getafe to cut Barcelona's lead at the top of La Liga to four points. 24 Apr 2025
After suffering elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Arsenal last week, Carlo Ancelotti and his players were under growing pressure to make something of this season. A composed - if unspectacular - performance on a night when nothing but a win would do eased anxieties somewhat. Jude Bellingham started on the bench as Ancelotti made six changes to his team with an eye on Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, while Kylian Mabppe missed out with an ankle issue. Guler finished off a swift Real Madrid break with a rifled effort in the 21st minute that Getafe goalkeeper David Soria couldn't keep out despite getting a hand to it. Endrick looked set to mark his first La Liga start with a goal when Vinicius Jr put him one-on-one with Soria, but Djene Dakonam cleared off the line after the goalkeeper got a hand to the effort. Real were far from their ruthless best, and were fortunate that Getafe didn't equalise after the break. Substitute Alvaro Rodriguez first went close with a header, before Mauro Arambarri dragged a low shot wide after Rodriguez picked him out unmarked. Real fashioned chances of their own, the best of which saw Vinicius ignore the runs of Bellingham and Brahim Diaz to force Soria to tip his effort over the bar. The match paused briefly with 13 minutes remaining when the referee spoke to both managers and a police officer on the touchline after Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni approached him. A message asking fans to avoid using racist language was subsequently played over the public announcement system. Getafe almost snatched a draw in the sixth minute of stoppage time, but Thibaut Courtois produced a brilliant save to keep out Rodriguez's low effort on the turn. Victory means Madrid trail league leaders Barcelona by four points with five games left to play - they face each other on 11 May. Getafe remain 12th, seven points off the European places and seven points above the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace twice came from behind to draw at second-placed Arsenal and leave Liverpool one point from being crowned Premier League champions for the second time in five seasons. 24 Apr 2025
A draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday (16:30 BST) would now be enough for Arne Slot's side, who lead Arsenal by 12 points, to clinch their 20th league title - equalling Manchester United's record. Both Arsenal and Palace's main focus is on their cup exploits, with the Gunners in the Champions League semi-finals and the Eagles at the same stage in the FA Cup - and both managers rested key players. Arsenal took an early lead at Emirates Stadium when centre-back Jakub Kiwior planted an excellent header past Dean Henderson from a Martin Odegaard free-kick in the third minute. Palace looked dangerous on the attack but vulnerable at the back, and Oliver Glasner's side equalised through a cleverly worked set-piece in the 27th minute. Adam Wharton clipped the ball to the edge of the area and Eberechi Eze volleyed his shot into the ground and the ball hit the post before making its way into the net. Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the lead just before half-time when he picked up a pass from Jurrien Timber and squeezed a shot into the bottom corner. The Eagles continued to push for an equaliser and had good opportunities with headers from Justin Devenny and Ismaila Sarr but neither could get a good contact on the ball. Palace did level for a second time through substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta, when William Saliba gifted him the ball with a dreadful loose pass 25 yards out and the striker produced an excellent chipped finish over stranded Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Gunners fans will be concerned by the absence of Ben White and Mikel Merino from the squad, with boss Mikel Arteta declining to comment on what their injuries were. When asked if they would be fit to face PSG on Tuesday, Arteta said: "We will have to wait and see as they were not able to be in the squad here."
Luka Jovic scored twice as AC Milan beat rivals Inter to reach the Coppa Italia final. 24 Apr 2025
The first leg of the Derby della Madonnina had ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving the tie firmly in the balance. But former Real Madrid striker Jovic put Milan ahead on the night and on aggregate when he headed in a cross nine minutes before half-time. Jovic was on target again four minutes into the second half, this time flicking in from close range following a corner. Jovic had failed to score until March but now has four goals in his last five games. Mike Maignan had to make a big save to deny Stefan de Vrij pulling a goal back for Inter before Tijjani Reijnders slotted in a late third to seal a win that keeps alive Milan's hopes of ending a disappointing season with a trophy. They are ninth in Serie A and out of the Champions League as well as off the pace to qualify for next season's competition. The win also ensured Inter cannot end the season with a treble. They are top of Serie A and in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Bologna lead Empoli 3-0 in the other semi-final with the second leg of that match taking place on Thursday.
