Bologna 1-1 Napoli:Gattuso's men lucky as they are held to draw by Bologna

-
Napoli were very lucky to come away with a point against Bologna as the hosts had two goals disallowed and also hit the woodwork.

Napoli claimed the lead through defender Kostas Manolas as he scored from a Matteo Politano header. He also sent another head just wide of the far post. As Bologna thought they had equalised in the 23rd minute through Ibrahima Mbaye but he was flagged offside.

Bologna again had the ball in the back of Napoli's net as Palacio met a dinked Soriano pass over the top as he beat Meret with an angled drive but the goal didn't stand as it was ruled out by VAR.

Napoli continued to preserve their lead and invite Bologna forward, and the home side drew level when Musa Barrow gathered Soriano's pass, cut inside to commit the defender and he passed the ball into the far bottom corner with the inside of his left boot.

Bologna had a few more chances to go 2-1 up as first Rodrigo Palacio after shrugging off Nikola Maksimovic to go clean on goal but his shot whistles inches wide off the far post.

Musa Barrow also had another attempt that wasn't far off but Danilo was very unlucky to see his shot cannon off the upright in the closing stages of the match.

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.
