Burnley 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers:Chris Wood's late penalty dents Wolves Champions League aspirations

-
Chris Wood scored a late penalty as Burnley claimed a late 1-1 draw at home against Wolves.

Wolves first chance came in the 11th minute as Raul Jimenez sent a header towards goal but it was saved by Nick Pope. Romain Saiss also had an opportunity to score but he sent his header wide of goal.

Burnley's Jay Rodriguez was picked out by a long ball but his connection was poor and he sent the ball wide. Diogo Jota could have easily scored but after he was found by Daniel Podence his finish left a lot to be desired.

Wolves were piling on the pressure and Adama Traore missed a good chance to score from a Romain Saiss delivery. Another Wolves chance went as Nick Pope brilliantly saved Ruben Neves' long range shot. But after all the pressure Wolves opened the scoring through Mexican striker Raul Jimenez as he volleyed the ball into the back of the net.

Burnley also had a chance but James Tarkowski's header in the 79th minute went wide.

 But the equaliser came in stoppage time as the ball came of Matt Doherty's arm and Chris Wood stepped up to the spot to send the spot kick into the top right hand corner to claim a point at home for Sean Dyche's men.

Bournemouth 0-2 Southampton:Danny Ings score as the loss leaves Cherries on the brink of relegation

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.

Milan moved up to fifth in the Serie A standings courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double after the veteran striker's first half brace either side of Francesco Caputo's penalty.

Milan lost two players to injury as they had to be without Andrea Conti and Captain Alessio Romagnoli, before Caputo converted from the penalty spot after a lengthy VAR review. But Calhanoglu and Ibrahimovic combined again before the end of the first half as Ibra gathered the Turkish international's through ball before rounding Andrea Consigli to score. What's next?
