Girona secured a 2-0 victory at Las Palmas which virtually guarantees they will play in the competition for the first time next season, after Athletic's defeat. Diego Simeone's Atletico, fourth, moved six points clear of their Basque opponents, fifth, with five matches remaining. After European elimination and then a woeful loss at Alaves last weekend in the top flight, Atletico got back on track with strikes from Rodrigo De Paul and Angel Correa, as well as an Unai Simon own goal.

Williams spoke with the referee after hearing the alleged abuse when he was preparing to take a corner in the first half, and play was held momentarily as supporters were warned. The Spain winger scored shortly afterwards and celebrated by tapping his arm, indicating the colour of his skin. "I went to take the corner and I heard monkey noises," Williams told DAZN. "There weren't many of them. There are stupid people everywhere... I hope this changes bit by bit." Williams said his celebration was a response to those who insulted him. Читать дальше...
Reniewicki won the 1,500 in 3:36.44 to snap the old mark of 3:38.27 set in 1984 by American Steve Scott in the annual athletics classic at Des Moines, Iowa.

PSG would have been officially confirmed as champions for a French record-extending 12th time, and a 10th in 12 seasons, with a win against a side who began the day in the relegation play-off place.

Bradley Barcola had equalised for PSG in the first half, cancelling out Christopher Operi's opener... Читать дальше...
Pochettino's side trailed to Marc Cucurella's early own goal and a Morgan Rogers strike before half-time at Villa Park. Rather than capitulate as they did in Tuesday's humiliating 5-0 loss at Arsenal, the Blues dug deep to rescue a gritty point thanks to goals from Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher. But Chelsea thought they had won it deep into stoppage-time when Villa keeper Robin Olsen turned Axel Disasi's effort into his own net, however, to Pochettino's fury, the goal was disallowed for a Benoit Badiashile foul.
