OneFootball Videos


Chelsea win their first league game in over two months to ensure the relegation battle will go to the final day.

Spurs remain two points ahead of West Ham and still need a point at home to Everton to ensure their Premier League survival.

What a finish we are set for.


James Maddison fires a free-kick high over the bar and it looks like we're going to the final day.


SEVEN MINUTES OF ADDED TIME!

Can Spurs seal survival?


Calum McFarlane makes three changes as we head towards added time.

Youngster Shim Mheuka is on for some minutes.


WHAT A TACKLE!

Richarlison does brilliantly to find James Maddison - on as a sub - in the box.

He hesitates before shooting allowing Jorrel Hato to slide in with a stunning tackle.


GOAL! SPURS PULL ONE BACK!

Spurs are right back in this and it's Richarlison who has got the goal.

Porro squares the ball across the box for Pape Matar Sarr, who tries an audacious backheeled finish.

It doesn't go in but finds his striker who taps home.

A huge finish here now.


Chelsea haven't won at home since the end of January.

Coincidentally it came against West Ham.

You can't accuse them of choosing sides!


We are looking at a final day relegation battle.

Spurs would need a point against Everton to guarantee safety barring a record league win by West Ham.

Considering how bad Spurs' home form is, this is not over.


GOAL! CHELSEA MAKE IT 2-0!

Andrey Santos doubles the Blues' lead but it's criminal from Spurs.

A pass through the middle goes straight to Cole Palmer, who finds Pedro Neto.

His ball to Fernández is then prodded towards the Brazilian midfielder who scuffs the ball home.


Half an over left for Spurs to do something.

A point will all but seal their safety given their goal difference compared to West Ham's.


The party has started in North London but we will now focus on ongoings in West London.

Can Spurs stay up and join their rivals in celebration?


FULL TIME! ARSENAL ARE CHAMPIONS!

The whistle blows and Arsenal are the champions of England for the first time in 22 years.


GOAL! CITY LEVEL!

Nico O'Reilly hits the post and Haaland is on hand to fire home in brilliant fashion.

What a finish and this game is back on.

Two or three minutes to go.


Marmoush fires a free-kick into the wall and that just about sums up City tonight.


Into six minutes of added time.

Can City do anything?


OFF THE POST!

Brooks smacks the post after being put through one-on-one.

The former City academy player could have had two or three since coming on.


SO CLOSE AGAIN!

As we head towards added time, it's Bournemouth who look like scoring rather than City.

David Brooks and Evanilson both come close to sealing the win and the title for Arsenal.


Liverpool fans will be hoping they do with the Cherries set to go into the final day just one point behind them.


City are running out of time and the Arsenal party is set to start.

That is unless Guardiola and his men have one final stunning comeback left in them.


HALF TIME!

Spurs trail at the Bridge and West Ham have hope.


20 minutes to go and City don't look like scoring.


OFF THE POST!

James Hill almost doubles the Cherries' lead but his strike comes off the outside of the post.


PEP MAKES CHANGES!

Guardiola makes three changes with Antoine Semenyo off to an excellent ovation from the home fans.

Mateo Kovačić and Bernardo Silva are also off, with Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki and Savinho on.


Unsurprisingly, City have been far more urgent to start this half. .

However, Evanilson has had the best chance, being denied by a fine Donnarumma save.


BACK UNDER WAY!

45 minutes for City to keep their title hopes alive.


GOAL! CHELSEA LEAD!

Enzo Fernández bends one in from 25 yards but Kinský will be disappointed not to have got a hand to it.

A huge boost for West Ham.


Chelsea respond and Cole Palmer forces Antonín Kinský into a decent save from distance.

Good tempo to this game so far.


SO CLOSE FOR SPURS!

Spurs have started very well here and look determined to seal safety tonight.

Pedro Porro whips a lovely ball into the box that Mathys Tel connects with.

Unfortunately for him, his effort cracks off the post an away.


HALF TIME AT THE VITALITY!

Arsenal are 45 minutes from the title.


KICK OFF!

Chelsea and Spurs have kicked off at Stamford Bridge.

The drama continues.


As stands, Arsenal are Premier League champions and Bournemouth have clinched a Europa League spot.

They are also currently just a point off Liverpool and Champions League qualification.

There's a long way to go yet though.


GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH LEAD!

Junior Kroupi curls a stunning effort into the top corner and there's as much celebrating going on in North London as there is inside the Vitality Stadium.

Adrien Truffert bombed down the line and the young Frenchman did the rest.

What a goal and that could be the title!


Tyler Adam is the first to go into the book for sarcastically clapping at referee Anthony Taylor.


Haaland has his first half-chance after the ball comes his way following a goalmouth scramble.

His shot from an awkward angle is blocked by Evanilson of all players.


20 minutes in and it's a surprise we haven't had a goal yet.

Both sides need a win here and you can tell.


OFFSIDE AGAIN!

Evanilson scoops the ball over with the goal gaping but is ruled offside.

An incredible miss and the Brazilian will be relieved the flag went up.

Frenetic start here.


OFFSIDE GOAL!

Erling Haaland slips in Semenyo, who makes no mistake with a very cool finish.

However, he is ruled to be just offside and the replays show the correct decision was made.

What a story that would have been.


Bournemouth haven't lost since Semenyo left in January.

A remarkable unbeaten run that actually started with the winger scoring the winner against Spurs in his final game.


CHANCE!

Jérémy Doku has the first opening but he shoots straight at Đorđe Petrović.

It was excellent work from Semenyo to find him in the box but the in-form Belgian surprisingly couldn't do better.


Lively start here with Bournemouth going right at City from the off.


KICK OFF!

And we're off.


The players are out on the pitch and we're just minutes away from kick off.

A huge night all round is set to begin.


Bournemouth have only beaten Manchester City once in the Premier League but it did come in this fixture last season.

Antoine Semenyo - now of City - and Evanilson scored in a dramatic 2-1 win.


That game kicks off in under 20 minutes and is then followed by another major clash between Chelsea and Spurs.

Three points for Spurs will seal their safety and send West Ham down while a draw will all but do that given the two sides' goal difference.

The Blues need to win to maintain any chance of European football next season.


It is also Andoni Iraola's last home game with the Cherries and a win will put the pressure right on Liverpool in the race for Champions League qualification.

They could be just a point behind the Reds heading into the final day.


In what is set to be Pep Guardiola's final away game in charge of Manchester City after yesterday's seismic reports, nothing but a win will do to keep alive their title hopes.

A draw or Bournemouth will see Arsenal seal their first title since 2004.


Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's two huge Premier League games.
