Todd Boehly ended his Chelsea duck after Ross Barkley’s injury-time winner. The American, who is set to complete his buyout of the club, was on the pitch to embrace Thomas Tuchel after the 2-1 win against Watford and mark the start of a new era at Stamford Bridge. This was the final game of Roman Abramovich’s ownership.
The curtain may be set to fall on what has been a troubled and worrying season at Bath, but there is one important act the players from the Rec are desperate to perform successfully at Sixways.
Fulham are lining up West Ham’s Ryan Fredericks as their first signing since clinching promotion to the Premier League, with the right-back set to return to Craven Cottage on a free transfer. Fredericks is out of contract at the end of the season and has not been offered a new deal by the Hammers after falling behind Ben Johnson and Vladimir Coufal in the pecking order. Fulham are looking for experienced top-flight players to bolster Marco Silva’s squad after booking their return to the Premier League and versatile Fredericks fits the bill.
West Ham have re-named a pitch at their Chadwell Heath academy The Mark Noble Arena in honour of their departing club captain. Noble, who himself came through the club’s academy after a brief spell at Arsenal as a schoolboy, is retiring after Sunday’s final game of the season, ending an 18-year professional career. The midfielder received an emotional send-off on his final home outing against Manchester City at the London Stadium last Sunday and could make his 550th career appearance for the Irons in this weekend’s trip to Brighton.
However, a valiant fightback from the hosts, including yet another high-class display from Steph Curry, allowed the Warriors to take another step towards the NBA Championship. Curry top scored for the San Francisco outfit with 32 points, while five of his teammates also finished with double figures. Luka Doncic was the top scorer for Dallas with a game-high 42 points as the Mavericks dominated in the opening 20 minutes.
