MATT BARLOW AT WEMBLEY: After all the spies‚ subterfuge and pretend binoculars came the eye of the Tigers. One sucker punch from Oli McBurnie in the fifth minute of added time and Hull City are on their way back to the Premier League. This time there is no way back for Middlesbrough. They can pick up their feud with Southampton in the Championship next season. The reprieve was brief and their Wembley curse goes on. They have never won here and this was the sixth attempt.

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has confirmed the club are examining whether the Championship play-off final can be cancelled over Southampton's spying‚ with a view to earning automatic promotion to the Premier League. Southampton were expelled from the play-off final on Tuesday‚ but have appealed against the decision. Middlesbrough‚ who were beaten by Southampton in the semi-finals‚ are currently set to face Hull at Wembley on Saturday.
Watching Alejandro Garnacho walk on to the field at Wembley with four minutes to go in the FA Cup Final told us much about Chelsea. Garnacho cost £40million from Manchester United. They thought it was a coup and‚ as so often is the case at Stamford Bridge‚ they were wrong. Four minutes to save a cup final. That kind of sums it up. If temporary coach Calum McFarlane really believed Garnacho had it in him to write Chelsea's name on the trophy‚ he may just have given him a little longer than that. As for Garnacho himself‚ he is still only 21. So we must be careful. Older and wiser and better players than he have been spat out of the Chelsea threshing machine. None of this is his fault.

David Beckham and Gary Neville threw their support behind their club Salford City from 5‚000 miles away as the long-time friends and former team-mates enjoyed a holiday in California's Napa Valley. The Manchester United legends led a consortium buying their Class of '92 team-mates out at the Peninsula Stadium last year‚ and after finishing fourth in League Two this season‚ are contesting a play-off semi-final against Grimsby on Friday evening in pursuit of a berth to Wembley. But rather than taking in the second leg of the tie on home soil‚ Beckham and Neville put up their club's flag Stateside and shared the picture on social media.
The Southampton first-team analyst at the centre of allegations of spying was the only member of staff present in a Manager of the Month photo in March to not feature in subsequent pictures in April and May. Daily Mail Sport revealed last Thursday that the analyst was caught allegedly filming Middlesbrough's training from behind a tree ahead of Saturday's play-off semi-final first leg‚ which ended goalless. Last Friday night‚ the EFL charged the south coast club with a breach of their rules. Saints won Tuesday's return leg 2-1 to set up a Wembley date versus Hull City‚ but that is now in doubt.
Monday night was why Pep Guardiola had been railing against the idea that Manchester City's experience would prove the defining element of this title race. Thirteen minutes of madness. Thirteen minutes when the calm heads went wandering off elsewhere. The past is the past‚ City's boss always says‚ and that they have hauled in Premier League leaders in such dramatic circumstances before offered no guarantee that history would repeat itself with half a new team not in possession of the muscle memory many presume is at their disposal on tap. Monday's troubles on the banks of the Mersey had felt somewhat signposted over the past fortnight. Requiring a late comeback to edge out Southampton at Wembley and before that‚ only grinding out a one-goal win over doomed Burnley. For whatever reason‚ the rhythm was not quite flowing in the way it had through the first half of April.
Dua Lipa has reportedly declined an offer to perform at Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury's blockbuster heavyweight showdown‚ despite the suggestion the fight would be jeopardised if she did not perform. It was announced earlier this week that terms for the long-awaited fight had been agreed. No venue has yet been decided for the fight‚ but Wembley is viewed as the likeliest option.
Ashley Young has announced his retirement from football‚ closing the curtain on a stellar career. The former England and Manchester United star‚ who has been playing for Ipswich since 2025‚ confirmed the news on X on Thursday‚ saying: 'From Sefton Road to Vicarage Road to Villa Park to Wembley to Old Trafford to San Siro back to Villa Park to Goodison Park and finally to Portman Road. 'It's been some journey that I only dreamt of as a boy! But with this dream there has to be an ending and Saturday might be the Last Game Of My Professional Career. 23 years and OUT!'
The best thing that may have happened to Arsenal in recent weeks is that defeat by Southampton of the Championship in the quarter-final of the FA Cup. It seemed sobering at the time and certainly exacerbated a feeling of incoming collapse as it came immediately after an equally meek Carabao Cup Final defeat by Manchester City. However instead of facing City at Wembley again at the weekend‚ Arsenal were at home in the sunshine squeaking past Newcastle in the Premier League and edging three points clear at the top of the table.
OLIVER HOLT AT WEMBLEY: Enzo Fernandez is enough of an unprepossessing individual that‚ at the start of this month‚ he was banned for two matches by his own club but he is still capable of being a very fine footballer for Chelsea when the mood takes him. On Sunday afternoon at Wembley‚ the mood took him. The histrionics of some of his team-mates - Moises Caicedo and Pedro Neto deserve special mention - might have made the unflinching heroes of Chelsea's FA Cup winning team of 1970 weep in despair. But Fernandez played with the kind of unrelenting steel and unremitting excellence that would have allowed him to hold his own amid the blood and thunder of earlier eras and it was fitting that it was his first half header that took Chelsea to the FA Cup Final‚ where they will meet Manchester City on May 16.

Next month marks 10 years since Louis van Gaal was brutally sacked as Manchester United manager despite guiding the club to FA Cup glory. The Dutchman brought the Red Devils their first trophy in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace after extra-time at Wembley. Van Gaal was a big believer in bringing young players through and he did that in his two years at Old Trafford‚ with 14 of those either coming through the youth or reserve ranks to make their first-team debuts.
