Preamble
Newcastle 2-1 Brighton
Ooof! Yankuba Minteh has missed a sitter, laid on for him for Georginio Rutter. Newcastle clinging on.
Barnet have scored at Harrogate, making it 2-1 to the away team and all but condemning the North Yorkshire team to the National League. At Barrow, Newport have scored, and lead 2-1. That means Barrow and Harrogate are heading down. The scenes following Bobby Kamwa’s goal for Newport were uproarious.
Kari Tulinius gets in touch: “There were two 3-3 draws this afternoon in the Bundesliga. 10-man Stuttgart got a last minute equalizer away to Hoffenheim, after coming back from 3-1. This keeps Stuttgart in the last Champions League place, at least until Leverkusen host RB Leipzig tonight. Meanwhile, Heidenheim let in a heartbreaking last minute goal, when an Olise shot hit the post and went in off the diving keeper. If they’d held on for a win, they’d have given themselves a good chance to avoid relegation.”
Goal! Brentford 3-0 West Ham (Damsgaard, 82)
The Hammers are in dire trouble while Brentford are climbing up to sixth. What a job Keith Andrews is doing by the way.
Bradford lead 2-0 at Exeter, Antoni Sarvecic getting it, and that drags them down further towards League Two.
Billy Sharp has made it three for Doncaster at Peterborough. Is he trying to sign off with 300 career goals?
Newport have equalised at Barrow, and that drags Harrogate into the bottom two of League Two.
Brentford 2-0 West Ham
Crysencio Summerville has rattled the crossbar, as West Ham, having changed formation, push for a way back.
Plymouth lead 3-2 at Northampton, and climb into sixth in League One after Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu’s goal.
Newcastle 2-1 Brighton
Eddie Howe has made three changes as Brighton push on for the equaliser. Nervy moments for the Toon Army.
Stockport lead at Barnsley in League One, and climb into third. Billy Sharp has scored again for Doncaster at Peterborough; what a way to sign off.
Bromley, with open-top bus parade planned for Monday, will do so as champions, and now lead 3-1. MK Dons, vying with them, drawing with Fleetwood as the final minutes of the second half approach.
At the bottom of League Two, a huge goal for Tranmere, Nathan Smith getting it, heading home from a corner. Barrow and Newport are heading down at the moment.
Bromley lead Walsall 2-1 in League Two, and are on course for the title. In the battle for playoffs, Chesterfield lead Swindon 2-1, and that opens up a four-point gap, as it stands.
Luton have made it 2-2 at Bolton, Hakeem Odoffin getting it for Jack Wilshere’s boys.
Goal! Newcastle 2-1 Brighton (Hinshelwood, 61)
Could Newcastle be blowing a lead again? Danny Welbeck lays up Jack Hinselwood for a smashing finish.
Leyton Orient pegged back by Burton, it’s 2-2 after Alex Hartridge’s goal. Exeter, losing at home to Bradford, are still in the League One ejector seat.
Notts County’s automatic promotion hopes in League Two have been hit by a goal from Bristol Rovers’ Ellis Harrison.
Goal! Wolves 1-1 Sunderland (Santiago Bueno, 54)
The central defender heads home, and after a brief delay for a suspected tug, it will stands.
Billy Sharp, 40, has just scored for Doncaster at Peterborough, in his final game.
Goal! Brentford 2-0 West Ham (Igor Thiago, 54 pen)
Big moment but Thiago keeps his cool to beat Hermandsen.
Leyton Orient have just scored against Burton, with Dom Ballard getting the goal. That lifts them to 18th in League One.
Penalty to Brentford!?
Ouatarra has been fouled by Diouf, and VAR is checking whether it was inside the box.
In League Two, Barrow have missed a penalty, in that vital game at the bottom. Barrow are still bottom as it stands.
Read Barney Ronay’s report from The New Den.
Half-times in those key EFL games
League One
-
Barnsley 0-1 Stockport
-
Bolton 2-1 Luton
-
Exeter 0-1 Bradford
-
Leyton Orient 1-1 Burton
-
Northampton 2-2 Plymouth
-
Stevenage 0-0 Wigan
League Two
John Brewin
OK, back underway for those second halves. I’m back in the chair.
James Humphries gets in touch: “One for the Knowledge, maybe, but is that gap between Leicester and the owls the biggest points differential between bottom and second bottom? You’d have to go some to beat a 46-point gap, surely, even allowing for deductions.”
Louise Taylor
In the week that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund finally pulled the plug on LIV golf Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Newcastle’s chair headed a 25 PIF delegation conducting an annual club review at Matfen Hall Hotel in Northumberland.
Al-Rumayyan and co rounded their trip off with a visit to St James’ Park to watch Eddie Howe’s team take on Brighton this afternoon. But the chair – who arrived complete with an expensive set of clubs – is understood to have enjoyed a round of golf at the excellent course adjacent to Matfen Hall yesterday/Friday.
Half-time whistles are blowing. In Leagues One and Two, lots of permutations are being tapped into calculators.
Another twist in League One. Luton’s playoff hopes take a knock as they fall 2-1 behind at third-placed Bolton. They’re now eighth in the live table.
In League One, Plymouth have now made it 2-2 at Northampton after being 2-0 down. One more goal and from looking down and out they’d move up into the playoff spots. That’s presuming everything else stays the same and, of course, it won’t!
Brentford 1-0 West Ham
The Hammers are doing everything to equalise. Mavropanos had a ‘goal’ ruled out while Castellanos has hit both posts. That said, Brentford have just had a huge chance to double their lead via Lewis-Potter but somehow it stays out.
Are Bromley going to snatch title glory in League Two? That’s how it stands right now as Ben Thompson puts them ahead against Walsall. They’re currently two… hang on, make that one point ahead of MK Dons, who have just equalised at Fleetwood.
Leyton Orient have conceded an equaliser to Burton in League One. They still look safe for now though with Exeter losing at home to Bradford.
Twists at the top in League Two. Leaders MK Dons trail Fleetwood so are in danger of being pipped to the title by Bromley. Third-placed Cambridge have missed a penalty at Crewe.
Key goal in League One. Exeter are heading to League Two after they fall 1-0 behind to playoff hopefuls Bradford. Plymouth have pulled one back at Northampton.
Red card! Sunderland’s Dan Ballard sent off at Wolves
It’s another hair pulling incident, folks. Ballard yanks Arokodare’s barnet and that’s not allowed is it. Paul Tierney jogs over to the pitchside monitor and soon after shows Ballard the red card. Sunderland still lead 1-0 but they’re down to 10 men.
Goal! Newcastle 2-0 Brighton (Burn, 24)
Brighton had made the better start but suddenly they’re 2-0 down to Newcastle as Big Dan Burn heads home at the near-post to double the Magpies’ lead.
Brentford 1-0 West Ham
Mavropanos looks to have equalised but his effort is chalked off for offside. A shame. Always fun to see a player score at both ends.
Plymouth have a mountain to climb if they’re to nick a playoff spot as they’re already 2-0 down at Northampton. All happening at Bolton. Luton score a controversial penalty to go into the playoffs and then drop out of them again as Bolton equalise.
Goal! Wolves 0-1 Sunderland (Mukiele, 17)
And we have goals in all three Premier League kick-offs as Mukiele heads home Xhaka’s corner to put Sunderland in front.
Goal! Brentford 1-0 West Ham (Mavropanos og, 15)
Big goal in the London derby as a scramble in the West Ham box results in what is deemed to be a Mavropanos own goal. Brentford are in front; Spurs fans celebrating.

OL Lyonnes v Arsenal: Women’s Champions League semi-final, second leg – live | Women’s Champions League
Key events
29 min: Caldentey is crowded out in midfield as Arsenal struggle to keep the ball.
26 min: Arsenal finally look alive as Russo plays in Blackstenius … but Renards delivers a late, desperate, sliding interception.
24 min: It’s been an eventful opening quarter. The dangerous Dumornay wriggles inside the area to get a shot off but a deflection takes out any venom.
Tom Garry
The OL Lyonnes supporters are bouncing up and down to the beat of the drum, full of belief, full of noise. This crowd is loving what they’re seeing so far. The French side are well on top and causing Arsenal all sorts of problems.
GOAL! OL Lyonnes 1-0 Arsenal (agg: 2-2) – Renard pen 21
Renard goes to the right again, and Van Domselaar guesses incorrectly.
The penalty will be retaken!
Van Domselaar moved to her left to deny Renard … but we’re going to have a retake! The keeper was off the line before the ball was kicked. Oh, the drama. I love it.
Van Domselaar saves!
Brilliant from the Arsenal keeper.
Penalty to Lyonnes!
The referee points to the spot. Dumornay was a touch too quick for Wubben-Moy, the centre-half catching the Haiti international’s right boot.
17 min: The ref’s going to the monitor. Not looking good for Arsenal.
16 min: Dumornay goes down inside the area after Wubben-Moy goes in for a challenge … time for VAR to have a look.
14 min: Arsenal are camped inside their own half as Lyon work it round. Fox just about nicks the ball after battling with Brand inside the Arsenal box.
13 min: The scoreline is in Arsenal’s favour but Lyon have taken the opening exchanges here.
On first glance it’s not entirely clear why that’s not been given – VAR has a look and it’s deemed offside, with Lyon’s Engen stood right by Van Domselaar, getting in the way of the keeper. Tough beat for Lyon.
DISALLOWED GOAL!
It’s Lyon’s turn for a corner, with Bacha delivering to the far post, and Heaps heads in … but it’s not been given.
5 min: Blackstenius wins a corner for Arsenal … McCabe delivers to the far post, Wubben-Moy heads it back into the middle and Little’s shot is blocked! Though the whistle goes for a foul by Arsenal. Never mind.
4 min: Lyon get a good look at the ball. Arsenal were cut open a little too easily with that chance for Hegerberg a couple minutes ago.
2 min: Huge chance. Lyon work it nicely from left to right before the cross comes in for Hegerberg, there to volley it in from close range. But she fails to make correct contact … though replays show she was offside.
1 min: Arsenal get us going, driving down the right flank.
Peeeeep!
Here we go. Who’s off to Oslo?
Zach Neeley writes in:
Russo, Mariona, Foord, Blackstenius, Smith all on the field. Slegers seems to have found her best team by filling it with attacking players. Also a tribute to how much Kim Little can still cover.
The players leave the tunnel, the legendary Wendie Renard leading out Lyonnes.
Tom Garry
Thousands of white, red and blue flags were left on the seats for the Ol Lyonnes supporters and they are waving their aloft now as their team jog off the pitch at the end of their warmup. The atmosphere is building nicely. There are also around 600 Arsenal fans high the stand opposite us, making themselves heard.
Gordon in Aberdeen writes in:
To my mind, Arsenal’s success in Europe has been largely based on analysis of the opposition, and stopping them playing by marking, defensive positional play, and blocking passing lanes. Lyonnes need to spring a tactical surprise on Arsenal today in order to win this tie. Starting Dumornay is a step towards that – but persisting with Hegerberg, so ineffectual in the first leg v Arsenal and both QF games v Wolfsburg, is inexplicable. Katoto is the current starting striker for France, and would be a much greater threat to the Arsenal defence.
A reminder of how that first leg went:
As Alessia Russo prepares for another Champions League semi-final, there’s a trophy named after her that’s up for grabs.
Here’s Tom Garry’s preview.
Michele Kang rebranded the club from Lyon to OL Lyonnes last year and spent significantly last summer, adding star names such as the France striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Lily Yohannes, as well as hiring Giráldez, a Champions League-winning head coach. They are unbeaten in the French top division so their toughest challenge comes in Europe and, to a degree, it feels as if their season has been gearing up for Saturday’s showdown.
Arsenal are unchanged from the first leg. If it ain’t broke … Lyon make two tweaks, with Melchie Dumornay and Selma Bacha starting.
The teams
OL Lyonnes: Endler, Lawrence, Renard, Engen, Bacha, Heaps, Dumornay, Yohannes, Diani, Hegerberg, Brand
Subs: Belhadj, Marchal, Becho, Shrader, Katoto, Egurrola, Sombath, Svava, Tarciane, Rafalski, Ouazar, Olivier
Arsenal: Van Domselaar, Fox, Williamson, Wubben-Moy, McCabe, Russo, Little, Mariona, Foord, Blackstenius, Smith
Subs: Votikova, Borbe, Laia Codina, Maanum, Kelly, Pelova, Hinds, Holmberg, Dixon
Preamble
Wait a second … I’ve seen this one before. It finished 2-1 at the Emirates in the first leg of Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final with Lyon last year, too. That time round it was the French side who had the one-goal cushion heading into the second leg, but Renée Slegers’ team triumphed 4-1 at the Groupama Stadium before making history in Lisbon.
What now for the defending champions? They have the advantage this time after Olivia Smith’s winner last weekend, and a 7-0 midweek victory against Leicester added to the joy. But Lyonnes carry continental prestige, eight Champions League trophies in the cabinet, with Melchie Dumornay expected to return after missing out in the first leg. She’s already delivered against Arsenal this season. We get going at 2pm BST.
Miranda Hart, Maya Jama, and Eastenders legend Ross Kemp are among the stars who will go head-to-head in the second series of The Celebrity Traitors.
