Premier League drama

Fulham 5-3 Leicester

First up was Fulham v Leicester. The home side opened the scoring through a Willian free-kick before strikes from Carlos Vinicius and Tom Cairney raced them into a 3-0 lead at half-time. 

Cairney added another in the second half before Harvey Barnes pulled a goal back for the away side, who also saw Jamie Vardy miss a penalty. Willian re-established Fulham's four-goal lead with another superb strike before Maddison netted Leicester's second with a spot-kick and Barnes scored a late third. 

   

This was the reaction of James Maddison after the match.

He tweeted in response: "We were not good enough today and we’ve only got ourselves to blame and apologise for that. But as someone who sees the work we are doing every single day to try and put this right, it’s not down to attitude or application. We will keep going until the very end."

Brighton 1-5 Everton

Everton produced a sensational display of counter-attacking to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone with an incredible win that placed a dent in Brighton's European ambitions. You can watch the highlights in the video below.

Nathan, an Everton fan, told us: "I have not seen Everton play this way in a long time. It was such a joy to watch."

Peter, a Brighton fan, added: "That was a poor performance but I think the players were just tired after a packed schedule of matches. I just hope that we can recover and still qualify for Europe."

Nottingham Forest 4-3 Southampton

There were 14 goals in the previous two matches. Surely, the last game of the day wasn't to keep up with this pace.  Forest came out on top in a seven-goal thriller as they climbed out of the bottom three to leave Southampton on the brink of relegation. You can see some of the game's best moments in the video below.

Paul, a Forest fan, told us: We conceded some poor goals but also scored some spectacular goals. I know Gibbs-White got man of the match, but I think Danilo deserves a shoutout from his performance last night. What an incredible night."

Shane, a Southampton fan, added: "Jay: We are officially relegated in my eyes now, this summer is huge for us as we are going to get a new manager and several new players."

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Manchester United 1 - 1 Burnley Zeki Amdouni scored a late penalty to grab what could he a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
