Manchester City complete domestic cup double
Manchester City secured a domestic cup double after a drab FA Cup final against Chelsea, decided by Antoine Semenyo’s brilliant backheel. The panel discuss Pep Guardiola’s future, Chelsea’s astonishing seventh straight Wembley final defeat and the appointment of Xabi Alonso as the club’s new manager.
West Ham and Tottenham updates
Elsewhere, West Ham collapsed again at Newcastle to leave their survival hopes hanging by a thread, while Tottenham edged ever closer to safety despite doing very little themselves. There was also another handball controversy at Old Trafford after Manchester United’s win over Nottingham Forest, praise for Bruno Fernandes and discussion around Michael Carrick agreeing a new deal.
Aston Villa, Sunderland, and more
Aston Villa secured Champions League football after beating Liverpool as Mohamed Salah publicly criticised Arne Slot. Sunderland kept their European hopes alive, Brentford and Brighton stumbled in the race for eighth, and Ewan Murray joined the pod after Hearts’ dramatic Scottish title heartbreak at Celtic Park amid ugly scenes following a late pitch invasion.
