Manchester City lift the FA Cup at Wembley

Saturday's Emirates FA Cup Final ended with Manchester City beating Chelsea 1-0, the Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo finishing brilliantly from Erling Haaland's near-post cross in the second half. It is City's eighth FA Cup and a domestic cup double, while Chelsea's wait for silverware in the 2025/26 campaign stretches into a difficult summer. Semenyo was named player of the match, and Pep Guardiola's side now turn their attention to securing a Champions League place on the season's closing weekend.

Newcastle 3-1 West Ham — Hammers on the brink

At St James' Park on Sunday afternoon, Newcastle United pushed West Ham to within touching distance of relegation with a 3-1 win. Will Osula's brace either side of half-time, allied to Nick Woltemade's early opener — his first league goal since December — eased the Magpies home. The Hammers can be relegated as early as Tuesday evening: defeat or a draw for Nuno Espirito Santo's side at Chelsea would, on goal difference, almost certainly seal their fate, with West Ham's best escape route now requiring both a Spurs slip-up and a win in their final two matches.

Aaron Rai ends a 107-year wait at the PGA Championship

Aaron Rai produced one of the upsets of the golfing year at Aronimink, closing with a sublime 65 to win the PGA Championship by three strokes and become the first Englishman to lift the Wanamaker Trophy since 1919. Starting the final round in a five-way tie for second and priced at 150-1 before the week, Rai outplayed a stacked leaderboard that featured Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy, all of whom were within touching distance overnight. It is a landmark moment for English major golf and one of the great long-shot stories of the season.

Sinner completes the Career Golden Masters in Rome

At the Foro Italico, Jannik Sinner became only the second man after Novak Djokovic to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles, defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 to claim his maiden Italian Open and end Italy's 50-year wait for a home men's singles champion. In the women's draw, Elina Svitolina edged a thrilling final against Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2 for a third Rome crown — her 20th tour-level title.

Heavyweight action at Doncaster

Filip Hrgovic announced himself emphatically on the British heavyweight scene, halting Dave Allen inside three rounds at the Eco-Power Stadium to retain the IBF Inter-Continental belt. The Croatian immediately called out Moses Itauma for next, and Eddie Hearn signalled that a domestic blockbuster is the priority for late summer.

Today's fixtures & previews

Football — Arsenal v Burnley, 20:00 BST

Already crowned champions, Arsenal complete their league campaign at Turf Moor with a Monday night assignment in front of the Sky cameras. With the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain at the Puskás Aréna only twelve days away (30 May, 17:00 BST), Mikel Arteta is expected to balance minutes carefully — Jurriën Timber is edging back into contention, while Ben White is now ruled out for the rest of the season and Riccardo Calafiori remains a doubt. Burnley, safe in mid-table, report "virtually everyone fit for selection." A flat occasion in betting terms, but a chance for fringe Arsenal players to make a Budapest case.

Horse racing — five flat meetings, Carlisle the highlight

The week opens with a busy domestic card: Carlisle, Redcar and Windsor headline the British action, with four of the five meetings on turf. Carlisle's flat opener has attracted some better-bred handicappers and a couple of progressive juveniles, while Redcar's seven-furlong handicap at 15:10 looks the most competitive race on the card. Windsor's evening meeting under the Berkshire lights closes the day with a deep sprint handicap shortly after six.

Tennis — Roland Garros qualifying begins

Qualifying for the 2026 French Open gets underway today and runs through Thursday, with a record twelve British players in the singles qualifying draws — the most in the Open Era. Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and Cameron Norrie all enter the main draw directly when the tournament proper begins on Sunday. UK coverage is on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Cricket — IPL race tightens, England squad confirmed

Last night's IPL fixture saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru post 222-4 and beat Punjab Kings by 23 runs, with the playoff line-up still being settled ahead of the 26-31 May knockouts. Closer to home, the ECB has named its 15-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's on 4 June, with Ben Stokes captaining and uncapped trio Emilio Gay, Sonny Baker and James Rew earning maiden call-ups in a clear post-Ashes rebuild under new National Selector Marcus North.

Player news & injury updates

Arsenal team news — Timber returns, White out

Jurriën Timber is progressing well and is in contention for tonight's trip to Burnley, although Arteta will not rush him with Budapest in mind. Ben White's season is over after a long-term injury was confirmed last week, while Riccardo Calafiori will be a late call following recent muscular discomfort. Expect a hybrid XI with at least three changes from the weekend.

Chelsea injury concern after Wembley

João Pedro appeared to injure his leg in the first half of Saturday's FA Cup final and is now a significant doubt for Tuesday's London derby with Tottenham. Jesse Derry (head), Estêvão Willian (hamstring) and Jamie Gittens (thigh) are all guaranteed to miss the Stamford Bridge fixture, while Mykhaylo Mudryk remains suspended. Enzo Maresca's options in attack are growing alarmingly thin.

Tottenham — suspensions bite for crunch trip to Chelsea

Spurs travel to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday without Yves Bissouma and Randal Kolo Muani, both serving suspensions. James Maddison faces a late call after coming off in last weekend's draw with Leeds. Spurs' away form remains a genuine asset — only Arsenal and Manchester City have won more on the road in the league this season.

England Test squad — Robinson recalled, three uncapped

Ollie Robinson's return after more than two years out of the international setup is the headline of the squad named for the first Test against New Zealand. Sussex's seamer joins Matthew Fisher and Rehan Ahmed in coming back into the fold, while Emilio Gay, Sonny Baker and James Rew are in line for maiden Test caps. Selector Marcus North begins his tenure with a clear "rebuild" brief following a chastening Ashes winter.

F1 — Antonelli's hat-trick and Ferrari's headache

Kimi Antonelli's third consecutive Grand Prix win at Miami has propelled the Italian rookie into the championship conversation, while Charles Leclerc's 20-second post-race penalty for repeated track-limits abuses has further strained an already fractious mood at Maranello. The next round is in Monaco at the end of the month — traditionally a Ferrari battleground.
