Bayern Munich came from behind to overcome Stuttgart, sealing a 35th Bundesliga title in typically emphatic fashion.

Stadium | Allianz Arena

Having lost just once all season, Bayern required only a point after closest challengers Borussia Dortmund were beaten at Hoffenheim on Saturday night. For a while, though, Stuttgart threatened to delay the celebrations. Chris Führich gave the visitors the lead after 21 minutes with a fine curling finish that briefly silenced the home crowd.

The response was swift and decisive. Raphaël Guerreiro levelled 10 minutes later, before Nicolas Jackson, starting in place of Harry Kane, turned the game on its head within two minutes. 

Alphonso Davies extended the lead before the interval, showing quick thinking to divert the ball past Alexander Nübel after a delivery from Luis Díaz.

Kane, introduced at half-time in place of Jamal Musiala, needed only seven minutes to make his mark, scoring his 32nd league goal of the campaign. Stuttgart managed a late consolation through Chema Andrés, but it did little to alter the mood.

The win underlines Bayern’s domestic dominance, marking a 13th Bundesliga title in 14 seasons.

Arsenal 0 - 2 Manchester City Manchester City brought an emphatic end to Arsenal’s pursuit of a historic quadruple with a deserved Carabao Cup final victory. Authors | Macca and DJ Stadium | Wembley Nico O’Reilly struck twice in the space of four second-half minutes as Pep Guardiola’s side asserted their authority over the Premier League leaders with a performance of real control and incision. It proved a bruising afternoon for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, whose decision to persist with Kepa Arrizabalaga in this competition, ahead of first-choice David Raya, unravelled at a crucial moment. Kepa presented City with the opening goal just past the hour, spilling what should have been a routine cross from Rayan Cherki and allowing O’Reilly to capitalise with a stooping header. Watch | View from the stands at Wembley. Video uploaded from Shorts LM O’Reilly added a second soon after, arriving unmarked at the far post to meet Matheus Nunes’ delivery with another firm header, prompting Guardiola...

Reading 1 - 2 Lincoln City Lincoln City will play in the second tier next season for the first time since 1961 Author | Lewis W Stadium | Select Car Leasing Stadium Jack Moylan struck in the 96th minute to secure victory at Reading and seal promotion to the Championship. Moylan’s late intervention followed Lewis Wing’s equaliser, which had cancelled out Ryan One’s early opener for the visitors. The result leaves Michael Skubala’s side with an unassailable 19-point cushion over third-placed Bradford City in League One. Lincoln’s unbeaten league run now stands at 24 matches, stretching back to 22 November 2025, and attention will turn to the title race. They hold a 12-point advantage over Cardiff City, who drew at Peterborough but have a game in hand. Destiny for Lincoln By securing promotion to the Championship, Lincoln appear to have reached a long-awaited destination after a 65-year climb. Since their relegation from the old Second Division in 1961, the Imps have fallen as far as the ...
