Chelsea down United to keep Champions League hopes on track, in-form Villa beat Spurs
Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Sky Sports Premier League / YouTube MARC CUCURELLA WAS once again Chelsea's hero as his headed goal earned a potentially season-defining 1-0 win over Manchester United just as his side's Champions League hopes looked to be slipping away. With 20 minutes remaining at Stamford Bridge the Blues were set to head into the final day of the Premier League season with their top-five fate out of their hands, with more poor finishing seemingly condemning them to two crucial points dropped and a third straight season out of Europe's top competition. News that Aston Villa had beaten Tottenham in the earlier kick-off and had leapt ahead of Enzo Maresca's side only added to the tension amongst home fans, which turned to frustration as the enormity of their team's predicament came grimly into focus. Then appeared in the box the ebullient, untameable Cucurella, by far Chelsea's most improved player in the last 12 months and the scorer this season of seven goals – though none as valuable as this – slipping his man to head Reece James' cross past Andre Onana in the 71st minute and redeem a desperate situation. A win away to Nottingham Forest next Sunday will confirm a top-five finish. Chelsea were the better team in the first half, for what that was worth against a United side that had lost five of their last seven in the league and had not won in two months. Maresca had recently lamented his side's wastefulness in front of goal this season – the Blues had the second-highest number of big chances missed in the league before kick-off – and Noni Madueke presented the latest. A brilliant burst through the midfield by Moises Caicedo began the move, knocking the ball centrally to Cole Palmer whose cross to the back post was met first time by Madueke but with the exactitude only to hoist the ball high into the Shed End. A fractional VAR call then saved Chelsea when Harry Maguire was judged to have strayed offside by inches before turning Bruno Fernandes' pass beyond Robert Sanchez. Mason Mount, on his first start on the ground against the club he represented for 12 years, drew taunts from home fans when his first-time shot bobbled out of play for a throw-in, before his former academy team-mate James had a thunderous 20-yard effort thud against a post. The flag spared Enzo Fernandez his blushes when he skied over with the goal gaping after Onana had made a feeble job of handling Palmer's bending shot. Replays showed Fernandez probably was offside, but the moment did nothing to alleviate Maresca's anxieties about his team's ability to convert chances. VAR intervened this time on United's side midway through the second half. Tyrique George tumbled as Onana raced out to meet him in pursuit of a through-ball. Referee Chris Kavanagh said penalty but a pitchside review confirmed the goalkeeper had made no contact. Then, finally, relief for Chelsea. Pedro Neto played the ball back to James, who with a balletic pirouette corkscrewed away from Alejandro Garnacho and whipped an irresistible cross to where Cucurella was arriving, the defender's thumped header flashing past Onana into the corner. Madueke then penned a footnote to his personal anthology of missed chances, slicing wide when clean through on goal. Sanchez produced a good near-post stop to keep out Amad Diallo, the only moment in the second half when United really threatened. Aston Villa 2-0 Tottenham Sky Sports Premier League / YouTube Aston Villa boosted their hopes of a Champions League return after a 2-0 victory over Tottenham, who had more than one eye on Wednesday's Europa League final. Advertisement Villa's memorable run to the quarter-finals of this season's competition gave them the taste for more and they boosted their hopes with an eighth win from their last nine Premier League games. This was probably the biggest home banker of the campaign given where Spurs' focus lay, but Villa made hard work of it, needing second-half goals from Ezri Konsa and Boubacar Kamara to get the job done. However, Chelsea's win over Manchester United later on Friday night means they have to win their final game of the season at Old Trafford and hope other teams, including Enzo Maresca's side and Manchester City, drop points. Spurs could yet still be in the Champions League next season as well if they can end their trophy drought with Europa League victory over United and boss Ange Postecoglou did nothing to jeopardise that at Villa Park. The embattled Australian made it clear where his focus was by naming a weakened side, which included a first Premier League start since 2022 for forgotten man Sergio Reguilon. They never really looked like avoiding a 21st league defeat of a miserable league season, but all roads now lead to Bilbao where history could beckon. Villa had an early flurry of chances as Ollie Watkins fired straight at Antonin Kinsky and John McGinn fizzed an effort just over. But Spurs, and Son Heung-min in particular, showed – for a time at least – they were not here just to make the numbers up. The South Korean is one of the players who is likely to play in Bilbao and he almost opened the scoring when he cut inside and whipped an effort just over the crossbar. Son was again involved as Spurs went close once more, starting a move that saw Wilson Odobert cleverly flick Mathys Tel's cross goalwards, but Emiliano Martinez was equal to it, saving with his feet. It was Kinsky who was then forced into a smart save as he got finger tips to Amadou Onana's cross that was sneaking into the far post. Villa came forward with a wave of attacks, with Marco Asensio curling just wide from 20 yards and Konsa heading straight at Kinsky. Frustrations were growing as the hosts floundered at the start of the second half but the tension was relieved as they finally made the breakthrough just before the hour. Watkins rose highest from McGinn's corner and his knockdown was swept home by Konsa. It was almost 2-0 60 seconds later but Kinsky got down well to keep out Watkins' effort. Kamara did kill any jangling nerves in the 73rd minute when he unleashed a fierce low shot that was too hot to handle for Kinsky. Villa saw it out to end their excellent home campaign with a record-extending 21st match unbeaten in all competitions, with goalkeeper Martinez, who has been linked with a move away, in tears at the end. For Spurs, it is about going one more match this season without defeat.

Liverpool vs Arsenal: Latest team news, predicted lineup and injuries
Arsenal face a quick turnaround as Mikel Arteta's side travel to face Premier League champions Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. The Gunners may still be reeling from their Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. But they now will have to quickly turn their attention to Sunday's clash with Liverpool, which has taken on added importance after a few poor results in the league. Arsenal remain in second but are now just four points ahead of Chelsea in fifth place, with the tricky visit of Newcastle United to come the following weekend. And while falling out of the Champions League spots is still unlikely, the Gunners will be keen to stop the rot having won just one of their last five league games. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Arteta may choose to tinker with his side on Sunday after a draining encounter at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri could come into the side in the forward line after quiet performances from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli in Paris. Riccardo Calafiori came on in the closing stages for his first minutes in an Arsenal shirt since March. And the Italian defender could come into the side to give Myles Lewis-Skelly a rest after an intense period for the teenager. Jorginho also made a return to the bench in midweek after picking up a lung injury, and could be in line for a recall to the starting XI. Elsewhere, there is no new injury news for Arsenal, with Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus all sidelined with longer-term issues. Liverpool, meanwhile, return to Merseyside to play their first game at Anfield as the new Premier League champions. Arne Slot made a few changes during their 3-1 defeat to Chelsea last weekend but he may now opt to return to a stronger XI against Arsenal. Ryan Gravenberch missed out on the matchday squad entirely against Chelsea and is expected to return to the matchday squad this weekend. Trent Alexander-Arnold could also be in line for his first start since announcing his decision to leave his boyhood club at the end of the season. Joe Gomez remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Jones, Salah, Diaz Gakpo. Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Calafiori, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli. The Premier League clash between Liverpool and Arsenal kicks off at 4.30pm on Sunday, 11 May.

Cole Palmer says ‘s--- happens' live on Sky Sports after ending goal drought
Cole Palmer said that 's--- happens' after being asked live on Sky Sports about the 18-match goal drought that he finally ended with a late penalty to seal Chelsea's victory over Liverpool. The 22-year-old also took a swipe at social media, where the criticism of him has been driven, saying it was 'full of idiots' and 'trolls'. Palmer was man-of-the-match in the 3-1 win over the new league champions, playing a part in the two other goals, which hugely improved Chelsea's chances of finishing in the top five and qualifying for the Champions League. "It's nearly a beautiful moment" 🤏 Cole Palmer's clever effort comes off the post! 💥 — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) May 4, 2025 The forward has not scored since mid-January, however, and said, after his goal: 'S--- happens... sorry for my language. It happens. Obviously, I went three months without scoring, but it just gives me more motivation, more fight to do well, not just for myself, but for the team. 'You know yourself, social media nowadays - just full of idiots, basically - the trolls and whatever. I don't pay no (sic) attention to that. But for today, I'm happy. But you've got to keep improving and trying to reach new levels.' Asked whether he had, nevertheless, endured a difficult time in front of goal and that had affected him, Palmer added: 'Well, for anyone... getting chances, you're not letting your team down at the end of the day. 'I feel like I'm mentally strong anyway. So whatever people say, it doesn't bother me. I've had it all my life growing up, so I don't really care what people say. I feel pride in helping the team, and if I'm not doing that, obviously I'm not happy. 'Today, I felt like myself. I felt confident, I was trying things, first time passes, playing forward, playing free and when you have him [Moises Caicedo] next to you, it's a dream.' Cole Palmer slots it in from the spot 🥶 — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) May 4, 2025 Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca insisted the lack of goals had not led to Palmer's form suffering or bothered him. 'Probably from outside,' he said of the talk about the England international. 'But we see Cole day by day on the training ground and he is exactly the same day. But to be sure he is not happy when he is not scoring goals…Cole is that kind of player that he can do things people do not expect.' Maresca said that Chelsea now had a 'fight' to qualify for the Champions League and added: 'Hopefully in the future we can fight for something more important. In this moment we are there and hopefully we can finish there.'
