Everton 0-2 Manchester City, Brentford 4-2 Brighton, Barcelona 4-3 Celta Vigo – live
Key events
Full time: Barcelona 4-3 Celta Vigo
It’s all over at the Olympic Stadium! Hansi Flick runs onto the pitch to embrace Raphinha. For a long time it looked Borja Iglesias would be the matchwinner; he scored a hat-trick to put Celta Vigo 3-1 up, but Barcelona roared back and won it through a 98th-minute penalty from Raphinha.
Match report: Everton 0-2 Manchester City
GOAL! Barcelona 4-3 Celta Vigo (Raphinha 90+8 pen)
Raphinha has won it for Barcelona! A penalty was awarded by VAR for a foul on Dani Olmo, and Raphinha put it away to complete a remarkable – potentially season-defining – comeback from 3-1 down. It was a superb penalty, blasted high into the net, and Barcelona are celebrating uncontrollably. They are now seven points clear of Real Madrid, who have an awkward game in hand at home to Athletic Club.
Brentford’s win was their first home since December. They’ve had a weird season at home in the league:

Full time: Brentford 4-2 Brighton
Brentford stay in contention for a European place next season with a fine win over Brighton. Eighth should be good enough, and today’s results mean Brentford are three points behind Bournemouth in that position.
Fulham, in ninth, have a game in hand at home to Chelsea tomorrow.
90+5 min: Barcelona 3-3 Celta Vigo
Eight minutes of added time in Barcelona. Five have been played, so Celta have three more to survive, one for each Borja Iglesias goal.
Match report: Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
90+20 min: Brentford 4-2 Brighton Van Hecke has been moved carefully onto a stretcher and is being taken from the field.
90+16 min: Brentford 4-2 Brighton There was a clash of heads between Yunus Konak and Jan Paul van Hecke, hence all the added time. Konak is on his feet but apparently Van Hecke is still receiving treatment.
Talking of Barcelona, they meet Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League semi-final tomorrow. Here’s Tom Garry’s preview.
88 min: Barcelona 3-3 Celta Vigo Barcelona have had 82 per cent possession in the second half.
90+14 min: Brentford 4-2 Brighton They’re still playing in this one. Sounds like there may have been a head injury.
“No SPL games today because of the Scottish Cup semis, but in the Scottish Championship Falkirk conceded three very late goals at home to Raith meaning they remain just three points ahead of Livingston with two games to play,” says Simon McMahon. “They should still be ok, but it’s the Championship, so you can never be sure…”
Bury promoted from North West Counties League
Emotional scenes at Gigg Lane, where Bury have secured promotion to the eighth tier of English football. They beat Burscough 4-0, their fifteenth consecutive victory.
84 min: Barcelona 3-3 Celta Vigo Celta are still hanging in there.
Full time: West Ham 1-1 Southampton
West Ham’s slow start under Graham Potter continues with a draw at home to Southampton. Jarrod Bowen’s fine goal was cancelled out in added time by Lesley Ugochukwu’s superb volley.
GOAL! Brentford 4-2 Brighton (Norgaard 90+5)
Christian Norgaard has the final word of a richly entertaining game at the Gtech Stadium, beating Bart Verbruggen with a terrific header.
Full time: Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
A stinker, by all accounts. But it’s a decent result for Palace, who stood firm after Chris Richards’ red card at the start of the second half. After conceding 10 goals in two games, a clean sheet will be most welcome.
Full time: Everton 0-2 Manchester City
City move up to fourth after late goals from Nico O’Reilly and Mateo Kovacic. With the games they have coming, it’s hard to see them missing out of the Champions League now.
GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Southampton (Ugochukwu 90+3)
I say! Lesley Ugochukwu has equalised for Southampton with a brilliant volley. That could give Southampton their 11th point of the season, which would equal Derby’s record low total in 2007-08.

GOAL! Everton 0-2 Man City (Kovacic 90+2)
Game over. Mateo Kovacic, who has had a big impact from the bench, rams City’s second goal past Jordan Pickford from the edge of the area. He is such a good footballer.
Everton 0-1 Manchester City If it stays like City will leapfrog Nottingham Forest and move into fourth. Forest have a vital game at Spurs on Monday night.
GOAL! Barcelona 3-3 Celta Vigo (Raphinha 68)
It’s all square at the Olympic Stadium! A gorgeous cross from the substitute Lamine Yamal is headed in from six yards by Raphinha, and you’d fancy Barcelona to win that now.
GOAL! Barcelona 2-3 Celta Vigo (Olmo 65)
And Dani Olmo has given Barcelona a lifeline, running onto Raphinha’s nice through ball to score with his left foot.
GOAL! Brentford 3-2 Brighton (Mitoma 81)
Kaoru Mitoma gives Brighton hope with a typically classy finish.
GOAL! Everton 0-1 Man City (O’Reilly 84)
A big goal at Goodison Park. Nico O’Reilly, who is emerging as the unlikely hero of City’s season, has put them ahead with a smart close-range finish from Matheus Nunes’s excellent cross.
GOAL! Barcelona 1-3 Borja Iglesias (Iglesias 62)
Scenes upon scenes at the Olympic Stadium, where Borja Iglesias has scored a hat-trick for Celta Vigo! Barcelona’s defending was astonishingly bad: one long punt from the back put Borja – who started inside his own half – away from the defence and through on goal. He approached Szczesny and dinked the ball daintily into the corner. Lovely finish, hideous defending.
Brentford 3-1 Brighton A nice moment at the Gtech Stadium: Brentford’s Rico Henry, who has played barely ten minutes of Premier League football since September 2023, has come on as substitute.
Palace 0-0 Bournemouth Apart from the red card, the highlight of this game is probably Justin Kluivert pulling Ismaila Sarr’s shorts down at the start of the second half. No idea what he was doing.

GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 Celta Vigo (Iglesias 52)
Borja Iglesias gets his second! He ran through on goal after some farcical defending and, though the angle was tight, Iglesias rammed a low shot into the far corner.
71 min: Everton 0-0 Man City Still no goals at Goodison. City have a kind run-in so a draw at Goodison wouldn’t be a bad result, even if it would mean they could finish the weekend as low as seventh in the table.
West Ham 1-0 Southampton Niclas Fullkrug has had a goal disallowed for a foul on Aaron Ramsdale.
Full time: Heidenheim 0-4 Bayern Munich
A nice, quiet afternoon for Bayern Munich, who are closing in on their first Bundesliga title since 2023. Harry Kane gave them an early lead, with the other goals coming from Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman and Joshua Kimmich.
Red card! Brighton down to 10 men
Brentford 3-1 Brighton Joaoa Pedro has been sent off for throwing an elbow at Nathan Collins; a straight red card and Brighton are officially in all sorts.
GOAL! Brentford 3-1 Brighton (Wissa 58)
Yoane Wissa puts Brentford 3-1 up. His shot took a big deflection off Lewis Dunk, but by the sound of it Brentford have been much the better team in the second half.
