Man Utd’s Europa League boost; Chelsea win... but already suffer blow for next season: EPL Wrap

United return to winning ways | 01:34Manchester United kept alive their hopes of salvaging a dismal season by qualifying for Europe as Amad Diallo ’s rocket inspired a 3-2 win against Newcastle.

However, United’s goal difference is vastly inferior to Newcastle’s, meaning they must better the Magpies’ result in the last game of the season. United’s first half dominance was rewarded in the 31st minute when Diallo’s deflected pass found Mainoo completely unmarked thanks to Kieran Trippier’s sloppy marking.

The leaky drainage in the Old Trafford roof, exposed during a thunderstorm in their loss to Arsenal, had provoked much mockery from frustrated fans. Hojlund came off the bench to net in the 84th minute with a lethal finish after evading two defenders, but Lewis Hall’s stoppage-time curler from long-range kept United sweating until the end.At the Amex Stadium, Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead with the 22nd league goal of his superb season in the 34th minute.

Nkunku finished off Malo Gusto’s cross to leave Brighton deflated and celebrated by blowing up a blue balloon lying on the pitch.
