At Dens Park, the match is currently at the halfway point with Celtic in the lead against Dundee, thanks to an early goal from Yang Hyun-Jun in the eighth minute.
If Celtic manages to maintain their advantage for the remaining 45 minutes, the implications for the Scottish Premiership standings would be significant, creating a competitive atmosphere.
With tomorrow being a Bank Holiday, I find myself forgetting that it follows a week filled with similar days off.
The scheduling for the Chelsea versus Tottenham match at 1:30 PM and the Birmingham against Manchester City game at 5 PM (both BST) doesn’t seem as peculiar now as it initially did. Chelsea and Manchester City are both expected to secure their spots alongside Arsenal and Liverpool in the semi-finals of the Women’s FA Cup.
This marks Liverpool’s second consecutive semi-final appearance in the FA Cup, providing a much-needed boost after a challenging season in the Women’s Super League (WSL). A goal from Zara Shaw during extra time has proven to be decisive.
Thanks to Simon for the update. As Liverpool attempts to fend off Charlton to advance to the semi-finals, they are currently in added time of extra time at The Valley.
I’m signing off now, as Dominic Booth takes over the reporting duties. In other news, Leeds is ahead 1-0 against West Ham in the FA Cup, with Rob Smyth managing that live blog.
After an intense scramble in front of the goal, a breakthrough has finally occurred! A corner kick leads to a header that strikes the post, the ball is then knocked around before another header hits the bar, and ultimately, Zara Shaw scores!
Despite Liverpool’s efforts, they have yet to find the net, although Charlton required a goalline clearance to keep it that way. Liverpool has taken 19 shots, but only three have been on target. Penalty kicks are just 15 minutes away unless a goal is scored sooner.
In France, Lyon’s aspirations for Champions League qualification have taken another hit following a goalless draw against Angers in Ligue 1, marking their ninth match without a win.
Seeking their first victory since mid-February, Lyon struggled to create opportunities in a match that saw few chances for either side.
With a challenging schedule ahead, Lyon will face league leaders Paris Saint-Germain and second-placed Lens in their remaining six Ligue 1 matches. Currently, they sit fifth in the standings, two points shy of third-place Lille.
Meanwhile, Monaco was set to face fourth-placed Marseille later on Sunday.
The top three teams in France qualify directly for the Champions League, while the fourth-placed team enters the playoff round. Recently, defending champions PSG expanded their lead over Lens to four points with a 3-1 victory over Toulouse, while Lens suffered a 3-0 defeat to Lille.
The current league standings are as follows:
At The Valley, additional time is being played, with Liverpool still trying to break the deadlock against Charlton.
PSV Eindhoven has clinched their 27th Dutch title, a feat that has felt imminent for some time, prompting the club to begin selling celebratory merchandise, including T-shirts, hoodies, and even charcuterie boards, in anticipation of a grand celebration planned for Tuesday.
In a noteworthy moment, Liverpool managed to score with a spectacular backheel volley, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.
Tom Garry is reporting from The Valley, where Liverpool remains tied 0-0 against Charlton in the Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals, with 15 minutes left in the match.
Charlton, playing in the second tier, has been resilient against Liverpool in this tightly contested quarter-final. Despite dominating possession and keeping much of the play in Charlton’s half, Liverpool has only managed to test goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse a few times, as the team known for its strong defense holds firm.
In the Scottish Premiership, Hearts have reclaimed the top position, even after a lackluster performance against the league’s bottom team. The standings are as follows:
Celebrations have erupted in Eindhoven following PSV’s championship victory after Feyenoord’s failure to win against Volendam today.
PSV Eindhoven secured the Dutch title on Sunday as their closest competitors, Feyenoord, could only manage a draw against Volendam. This result left PSV with an insurmountable lead, having previously won 4-3 against Utrecht.
PSV now has 71 points from 29 matches, while Feyenoord sits at 54 points, 17 points behind.
The victory sparked immediate festivities in Eindhoven, where fans had anticipated this moment following Feyenoord’s inability to secure a win.
This marks PSV’s third consecutive league title, bringing their total to 27, second only to Ajax Amsterdam, who has 36 titles (Reported by Mark Gleeson in Cape Town; Edited by Christian Radnedge).
Tom Garry has also shared news from Borehamwood, where Arsenal’s disappointing FA Cup run continues, as their women’s team suffered a defeat against Brighton.
Arsenal faced an unexpected exit in the quarter-finals of the Women’s FA Cup for the second year in a row, as Brighton delivered a surprising 2-0 victory over the 14-time champions. This result extends Arsenal’s wait for FA Cup glory to a decade, coming just days after their Champions League triumph over Chelsea. Brighton’s performance was bolstered by two assists from former Chelsea player Fran Kirby.
