  • FA Cup final: Crystal Palace edge Man City to win first major title

    Eze Fires Crystal Palace to Historic FA Cup Triumph Over Manchester City

    Eberechi Eze lit up Wembley and sent south London into raptures on Saturday as Crystal Palace stunned Manchester City 1-0 to win the FA Cup — the club’s first major trophy in its 119-year history.

    Eze volleyed home the only goal of the match after 16 minutes, a strike completely against the run of play. From there, Palace dug deep, with goalkeeper Dean Henderson putting in a heroic performance to repel wave after wave of City attacks — including saving a first-half penalty from Omar Marmoush.

    City, who had dominated possession and created a host of chances, were left ruing their wastefulness in front of goal in what turned into a dramatic and enthralling cup final. For the second year running, they fell short at the final hurdle, and this time, it marked the end of a disappointing season — their first without a domestic trophy since 2016-17.

    Eze, whose goals in the quarter-finals and semi-finals powered Palace to a third-ever final appearance, was emotional after the match. “This is what dreams are made of — for me and this club,” said the England international, who was famously released by Arsenal as a teenager. “Who thought we could do it? We’ve made history.”

    For Palace fans, decked in their trademark purple and blue, it was a day of unbridled joy. After heartbreak in the 1990 and 2016 finals, the third time proved to be the charm.

    Manager Oliver Glasner, who took over just 15 months ago, masterminded the historic triumph and in doing so, became the first Austrian to win the FA Cup.

    Despite City’s electric start — a clear statement of intent from Pep Guardiola’s side — their finishing let them down, and questions will now grow louder about a team that once seemed untouchable in English football.

    But Saturday belonged to Crystal Palace — to the players who defied the odds, the coach who believed, and the fans who finally got their fairytale ending.

    Crystal Palace sealed their first-ever major trophy with a 1-0 win over Man City on Saturday.

    Palace Hold Their Nerve to Stun City and Seal Historic FA Cup Glory

    Manchester City came out with all guns blazing, naming an ultra-attacking lineup devoid of defensive midfielders, and quickly pinned Crystal Palace deep into their own half. Kevin De Bruyne, pulling the strings on what turned out to be his final Wembley appearance in City colors, orchestrated relentless pressure in the opening stages.

    De Bruyne’s lofted pass found Erling Haaland at the far post, but Dean Henderson was equal to it, producing a stunning save. Moments later, the Palace keeper denied Josko Gvardiol’s powerful header to keep the underdogs afloat.

    But against the run of play, Palace struck in devastating fashion. Their first meaningful attack saw Jean-Philippe Mateta thread a perfect ball to Daniel Muñoz, whose low cross was smashed in first-time by Eberechi Eze. The volley rocketed past Stefan Ortega and sent the Palace faithful into delirium.

    Ismaïla Sarr nearly doubled the lead shortly after, but Ortega stood tall. The drama escalated when Henderson appeared to handle outside the box under pressure from Haaland. A tense VAR review followed, but the Palace goalkeeper escaped punishment — much to the relief of his teammates and fans.

    Palace weren’t so fortunate minutes later when Tyrick Mitchell tripped Bernardo Silva in the box. Referee Stuart Attwell pointed to the spot. Surprisingly, Haaland handed the responsibility to Omar Marmoush. The January signing stepped up for his first penalty in City colors — but his tame effort was read perfectly by Henderson, who dived to his right to make another vital stop.

    “Incredible. We had a feeling it would be our day today. We deserve this so much,” said Henderson post-match. “Haaland might have stepped up, but he gave it to Marmoush. I knew which way he was going. I knew I would save it.”

    City kept pushing, with Jérémy Doku curling a shot destined for the top corner until Henderson acrobatically tipped it over. Despite holding just 19% of possession in the first half, Palace reached the break with their lead intact.

    Muñoz thought he had doubled the advantage just after the hour mark, only for VAR to disallow the goal for offside after a lengthy check. City, seven-time FA Cup winners, continued to pile on the pressure, but Henderson — backed by a resolute backline — turned away everything they threw at him.

    A collective groan echoed from the Palace end when 10 minutes of stoppage time were announced. But the Eagles held firm. As the final whistle finally rang out, the sound of “Glad All Over” roared around Wembley, a fitting soundtrack to an unforgettable day in Crystal Palace’s history.

  • Chelsea beat Man United without Jackson, but barely. Is UCL campaign in doubt?

    Chelsea Grind Past Man United but Questions Remain Ahead of Forest Clash

    LONDON — Chelsea remain on the edge of Champions League qualification following a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United, but the win did little to ease concerns about their attacking frailty without Nicolas Jackson.

    The decisive goal came in the 71st minute as fullbacks combined: Reece James dazzled down the right before delivering a pinpoint cross for Marc Cucurella to head past André Onana. James had earlier come close himself, striking the post with a curling effort.

    The display, however, was far from convincing. Aside from a few half-chances from Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke, Chelsea struggled to impose themselves against a United side mired in its worst Premier League season to date — their 17th defeat, and potentially their fewest wins and points ever.

    Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was spotted in the stands, while current United boss Ruben Amorim, a known fan of wing-back play, may have appreciated the Blues’ rare attacking moment.

    Mason Mount endured a frosty return to Stamford Bridge, jeered by fans still bitter over his 2023 departure to United.

    Looking ahead, Chelsea face Nottingham Forest without Jackson, who remains suspended. Though not always clinical, Jackson’s 12 goals and pressing presence have been vital to Enzo Maresca’s setup.

    Chelsea’s hopes for a top-four finish — and early validation for Maresca — now hinge on whether they can find a reliable attacking solution in the striker’s absence, just ahead of their Europa Conference League final against Real Betis..

    Chelsea Find a Way Without Jackson — But Questions Linger Ahead of Forest Test

    With Christopher Nkunku once again sidelined and Nicolas Jackson suspended, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca handed 19-year-old Tyrique George his first Premier League start in Friday’s crucial 1-0 win over Manchester United. It was a bold decision rooted in the need for pace and movement to stretch United’s five-man backline, but the teenager found it tough going in a high-stakes environment.

    George managed just six touches in the first half and only 14 before being substituted in the 81st minute. Despite his limited involvement, Maresca praised his effort and character.

    “[George was] very good, very good,” Maresca said post-match. “Brave. He was a threat in behind. Not easy for him… he was fighting against important defenders like Maguire, Lindelöf, and Shaw. He also had the penalty moment, so overall I think he worked quite well.”

    That “penalty moment” — a 61st-minute collision with André Onana — briefly gave Chelsea a chance to double their lead until VAR overturned the decision.

    Whether George starts again against Nottingham Forest remains uncertain, but Maresca was unequivocal in his support: “Absolutely yes, 100 percent,” when asked if the youngster had shown enough to warrant another opportunity.

    Still, Chelsea’s attacking options remain limited. Alternatives such as pushing Cole Palmer or Pedro Neto into the central role may have brought more composure, if not a natural fit. The lack of a clinical edge continues to shadow Maresca’s side — a challenge mirrored by United, who struggled once again to get a meaningful performance from Rasmus Højlund.

    United’s brightest attacking moment came from an unlikely source — center-back Harry Maguire — who finished sharply from a Bruno Fernandes cross in the 16th minute, only to see it chalked off for a marginal offside on VAR review.

    Reds boss Ruben Amorim remained optimistic about Højlund’s development: “I’m happy. He fights for every ball. He needs to improve his connection with the team, but he’s improving. Better days will come.”

    Both clubs are expected to prioritize attacking reinforcements this summer. Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap is a shared target, and Champions League football could prove decisive in his destination.

    Chelsea, just one win away from sealing an unlikely top-four finish, know the stakes. “I think that’s where the club belongs — in the Champions League,” said Reece James. “People like to write us off and call us inexperienced. We played a very experienced United team today and we got the job done.”

    Maresca admitted earlier in the week that Chelsea are still figuring out how to thrive without Jackson. Against United, they scraped by. Whether it’s George, a reshuffle, or a tactical tweak, finding a sustainable solution remains the club’s most urgent puzzle — especially with Forest looming and a European final still to come.

  • Every Premier League team reranked: Spurs, Forest plummet

    Premier League Power Rankings: Final 2024–25 Update as the Season Closes

    Back in August, it felt ambitious to rank Nottingham Forest as high as 14th. By September, Brighton and Tottenham were climbing, and we convinced ourselves one of them was a top-five lock. In November, Spurs were still flying, and—perhaps most embarrassingly—we thought Manchester United were comfortably midtable. (Silly us.) Come January, the AFC Bournemouth hype train was in full motion.

    Such is the life of tracking Premier League power rankings across a long, chaotic season. Perception swings wildly, heroes rise and fall, and somehow, we’ve arrived at the final days of the 2024–25 campaign with Newcastle United and Aston Villa on fire, Manchester City cemented in fourth like a laminated pub quiz answer, and Nottingham Forest drifting back toward familiar territory.

    Postseason playoffs, anyone? No? Just us?

    Anyway, here’s our final 2024–25 Premier League power rankings, combining the individual lists of Bill Connelly and Ryan O’Hanlon. We include January’s rankings for context, alongside current points and goal differential as of mid-May:

    19Burnley1928-23
    20Sheffield United2024-35

    📉 Notable Trends & Takeaways

    • Newcastle and Aston Villa surge: Their late-season form was undeniable, with both clubs turning solid campaigns into exceptional ones. Villa in particular have made Champions League qualification feel earned, not gifted.
    • City’s solid fourth: No title this time, but Guardiola’s men remained consistently strong, despite a few midseason dips.
    • Forest’s fade: Their early-season overperformance gave way to a reality-check second half. By May, 14th had turned out to be optimistic after all.
    • United’s mediocrity: The Red Devils avoided complete collapse, but only just. Their season ends with more questions than answers—and more losses than fans care to count.
    • Chelsea’s quiet climb: Up from 9th to 7th, they’ve closed strong, if unconvincingly. Maresca’s system may yet bloom.
    • Bournemouth’s reality check: January’s darlings hit a ceiling, but progress under Andoni Iraola remains real.

    Power rankings may be fickle, but they capture what the table doesn’t: form, narrative, and the wild, shifting momentum of a 38-game marathon. The 2024–25 season gave us more than a few twists — and the real winners were the fans who managed to keep up.

    Better Late Than Never: Newcastle and Villa’s Scorching Finish

    Imagine, just for a moment, that the Premier League adopted a season-ending playoff format like Belgium’s Pro League — where the top six teams, after a full round-robin season, have their point totals halved and play a final mini-league to crown a champion. It’s chaotic, it’s unorthodox… and it’s kind of fun in theory.

    Yes, the math is awkward for a 20-team league (38 games followed by 10 more), but let’s suspend reality and run with it.

    Using analyst Simon Tinsley’s full-season projections — halving point totals and rounding up — our hypothetical Premier League playoff would begin like this:

    • Liverpool: 44 points
    • Arsenal: 37
    • Manchester City: 35
    • Newcastle: 35
    • Chelsea: 33
    • Aston Villa: 33

    Liverpool would still be heavy favorites, but the real intrigue lies in the red-hot form of Newcastle and Aston Villa, who would be serious threats in a playoff sprint.

    Since March 8, Villa (2.63) and Newcastle (2.44) are the only two teams averaging over 2.0 points per game in the league — and they’re not doing it with smoke and mirrors. Their underlying numbers back it up. No major overperformance, just sustained, high-level football.

    Villa have lost just three of their past 15 games. Newcastle? Just one loss in their last 10 — and that was to Villa.

    In any alternate universe where post-season playoffs decide the Premier League title, Newcastle and Villa would be surging into the top three conversation. Even in this universe, their late-season runs have turned heads — and may shape the next one.

    Newcastle & Villa: Peaking at the Perfect Time

    Since March 8, no Premier League teams have surged harder — or smarter — than Newcastle United and Aston Villa. Their profiles are almost mirror images: Newcastle boast the league’s best attack and third-best defense in this span, while Villa flip that equation with third-best attacking numbers and the tightest defense in the league. Unsurprisingly, both teams have leapt up our power rankings.

    ⚫ Newcastle: Ruthless, Direct, and Reborn

    Newcastle’s resurgence has been powered by a lethal wing duo: Jacob Murphy on the right and Harvey Barnes on the left. Since March 8, they’ve combined for 7 goals and 7 assists, a staggering return for wide players in a counter-heavy setup.

    Barnes, in particular, has edged out Anthony Gordon to become the first-choice left winger. He’s already contributed 13 goals + assists in significantly fewer minutes than it took to tally 14 for Leicester City last season — almost 1,100 fewer, to be exact. Add in 74 progressive carries during this run — second-most at Newcastle and fifth among non-defenders in the league — and Barnes has become the perfect foil to Alexander Isak’s central brilliance. Newcastle are surging while others fade.

    🟣 Villa: Relentless Discipline, Ruthless Finishers

    Aston Villa, meanwhile, have built a fortress. Their recent run features only 41.4% possession (16th in the league) and just 29.3 attacking-third touches per game (18th), yet they’re not just surviving — they’re thriving.

    Villa have allowed opponents to take shots (17th in shots allowed per possession), but not from dangerous areas: their 0.11 xG allowed per shot is the best in the league. They’re compact, disciplined, and efficient.

    And when they do strike? They do it late and lethal. Since March 8, Villa lead the league with 7 goals after the 70th minute, while conceding just one. The January arrivals of Marcus Rashford (loan) and Donyell Malen (€23m) have given Unai Emery crucial rotational depth — Malen, for example, has bagged two of those late goals off the bench.

    ⏪ From Struggling to Surging

    Back on March 8, Villa sat 7th with 45 points, and Newcastle were 8th with 44. Newcastle had just been hammered by Liverpool and City (a combined 6-0), while Villa were in the midst of a five-match winless skid. Since then, they’ve completely flipped the script.

    As of now, both clubs are ranked among the top 10 teams in the world, per the Opta supercomputer. Their odds of securing a top-five Premier League finish have skyrocketed:

    • Newcastle: 95% (Opta & Tinsley)
    • Villa: 37% (Tinsley) to 42% (Opta)

    And with both clubs facing Europa League finalists — Tottenham (May 16) and Manchester United (May 25) — in their final two matches, they could capitalize on distracted opponents to seal a late miracle.


    Manchester City: Never Hit Top Gear

    For most of the season, we kept waiting for Manchester City to click. Surely they’d start racking up goals, locking down games, and returning to their suffocating best… right?

    Not quite.

    Now, with just two games remaining, City find themselves just two points (and some goal difference) away from missing the Champions League altogether — something that seemed unthinkable back in January. Sure, they’re likely to survive (Tinsley gives them a 95% chance of a top-five finish), but the margin is slimmer than expected.

    What makes this even more jarring is the spending: City invested €218 million on five players in January — no other club in Europe even topped €55m.

    And since February? Despite the influx of talent, City’s adjusted goal difference (a blend of 70% xG and 30% actual goals) has been flat. They haven’t fallen apart, but they haven’t accelerated, either. In a season where others surged late, City stayed in fourth gear — and it might cost them.

    And here’s how things looked before the start of February:

    Manchester City: Stability Gained, Spark Lost

    There’s been a modest uptick in Manchester City’s performance metrics since February — their adjusted goal difference rose from +0.54 to +0.61, nudging them from the fifth-best team in the league to fourth. But this wasn’t the kind of resurgent push we saw from Liverpool in the late stages of their “down years” under Klopp (2020-21, 2022-23). This was a borderline top-four side becoming… a slightly more secure top-four side. That’s it.

    🔐 Defense: Vastly Improved

    The biggest shift has been at the back. City’s adjusted goals allowed has plummeted from 1.41 per game pre-February to 0.96 post-window. They’re now giving up nearly five fewer shots per game — down from 13.3 to just 8.0. And though they’re conceding more dangerous shots on average (0.11 xG per shot, up from 0.14), the overall volume drop has massively improved their defensive profile.

    City’s press has also grown more effective, thanks largely to the introduction of younger, more energetic legs in midfield and attack. The defensive solidity they lacked early in the season is finally in place.

    ⚠️ Attack: Regressing Sharply

    But that defensive gain has come at a significant attacking cost.

    • Adjusted goals scored per game has dropped from 1.96 to 1.57
    • Shots per game have fallen from 17.2 (near Liverpool’s 17.7) to just 13.8
    • Shot quality has remained stagnant

    This isn’t a case of trading quantity for quality — it’s simply less of everything up front.

    Last weekend’s game against Southampton summed it up. City faced a side with nothing at stake and, as Rúben Dias bluntly noted, a team that “didn’t even try.” Yet, City labored to create anything meaningful in the final third. They controlled possession, pressed well, kept shape — and offered very little threat.

    🔄 Trading One Imbalance for Another

    Earlier in the season, City could attack but couldn’t defend. Now, they defend well but can’t create chances. They’ve swapped one imbalance for another.

    For a club with Champions League aspirations and a €218m winter spending spree, it’s an underwhelming return. And while they still hold a 95% chance of finishing top five, per projection models, they’ve looked far more like a Europa League side than the dynasty we’ve come to expect.

    Manchester City: No Longer Field-Tilters

    Despite City’s late-season defensive revival, they’re not a sure thing to take maximum points from their final two games — especially against well-organized midtable sides like Fulham and Bournemouth. That’s because this version of City lacks the overwhelming dominance of past years. They no longer tilt the pitch so far in their favor that opponents can barely breathe, let alone counterattack.

    They should still sneak into the top five, thanks to a points cushion and goal difference, but the bigger concern is forward-looking:

    They aren’t close to title-contending form — not compared to Liverpool or Arsenal, and not by their own high standards.

    City must make meaningful tactical and personnel changes this summer if they want to rejoin the title race. As of now, they’re a Champions League-level team on paper, but a Europa-level team in performance.

    O’Hanlon


    🌲 Nottingham Forest: The Regression Arrived

    Six weeks ago, Forest were flying high — third place, unbeaten in four, and riding back-to-back 1-0 wins over Manchester United and Manchester City. But after Sunday’s 2-2 collapse against relegated Leicester, they’re down to seventh, and Champions League hopes are slipping away fast.

    They’ve won just once in their last six league games, and the fall has been less about a collapse and more about reality catching up.

    📉 The xG Problem

    • On April 1:
      • Goals: 50 (6th)
      • Expected Goals (xG): 38.0 (15th)
      • Goal differential: +15 (4th)
      • xG differential: +1.8 (10th)

    This was a team outperforming its underlying numbers massively. They won five league games with negative xG differentials, and in nine matches where they were clearly second-best by xG (–0.75 or worse), they still managed eight points.

    Now that their finishing luck and defensive resilience have cooled off, so has their league position.

    ⚽️ Chris Wood: The Super Outlier

    • 20 goals on 12.4 xG
    • That kind of finishing isn’t sustainable — and once it normalized, so did Forest’s results.

    🚨 Summary

    Forest’s statistical profile always hinted at overperformance, and their slide isn’t surprising. After narrowly avoiding relegation in recent years, even finishing 7th-9th would be progress — but their once-realistic Champions League dream now looks like a mirage.

    Nottingham Forest: Luck, Meet Limits

    Forest aren’t just cooling off — they’ve slammed into the wall. Over their past six matches:

    • Only 1 win
    • 📉 0.83 points per game (15th)
    • 🔻 –5.6 xG differential (17th)

    Despite still squeezing results out of poor performances — like the 2-1 win over Spurs and 1-1 draw vs. Palace — the numbers suggest the overperformance tank is finally running dry.

    ⚖️ On Paper: Forest ≈ Everton/United

    Forest’s true level is likely somewhere near Everton or Manchester United, not Chelsea or Manchester City, and that reality is finally being reflected in results.

    But their story isn’t done yet:

    • 🆚 This weekend: West Ham (also struggling)
    • 🏁 Final match: Chelsea, without Nicolas Jackson (who has a measurable impact on Chelsea’s performance)

    Champions League hopes aren’t dead — but Forest have likely used up most of their margin for error.

    Connelly


    ⚔️ The Midtable Arms Race: Everyone’s Been Good & Awful

    From Brentford’s surge to 8th to Palace’s FA Cup final appearance and top-10 adjusted goal difference, the Premier League’s middle class has never been stronger — or more unpredictable.

    At some point this season, each of these clubs looked legit:

    • Brighton (early-season attacking brilliance)
    • Fulham (pressing & structure)
    • Wolves (late-season run)
    • Everton (Moyes’ defensive solidity)
    • Bournemouth (January surge)
    • Forest (March peak)
    • Palace & Brentford (right now)

    This isn’t just anecdotal. According to Club Elo Ratings (pure results-based), the Premier League has:

    🏆 17 of the 50 best clubs in the world:

    • ⚡️ Villa: 11th
    • 🦅 Palace: 16th
    • 🐝 Brentford: 17th
    • 🍒 Bournemouth: 20th
    • 🌲 Forest: 22nd
    • 🟡 Brighton: 24th
    • 🔴 Man United: 25th
    • 🐔 Tottenham: 31st
    • ⚫️ Everton: 33rd
    • ⚪️ Fulham: 34th
    • ⚒️ West Ham: 41st
    • 🐺 Wolves: 44th
    • 🔥 Burnley: 47th
    • 🦚 Leeds: 49th

    If club strength were evenly distributed across the five top European leagues, you’d expect ~8–9 teams per league in the top 50. The Premier League has 17 and will likely have 19 next season.

    The top of the Premier League table might look shakier this year, but the bottom and middle have never been stronger — and that’s made every match tougher for everyone.

    O’Hanlon


    🔮 Takeaway

    This season wasn’t about a traditional “Big Six” narrative or a dramatic final-week title decider. It was about the emergence of a terrifyingly strong middle tier — one that has made life miserable for top clubs and erased the idea of “easy wins.”

    Expect even more chaos next year.
