Greenwood bags brace as Man Utd sink Burnley

-

London, UK - Manchester United moved within eight points of Premier League leaders Manchester City as Mason Greenwood's double inspired a 3-1 win over Burnley, while Eddie Nketiah's last-gasp goal gave Arsenal a 1-1 draw against struggling Fulham on Sunday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are unlikely to catch City, but Greenwood's late winner puts a little pressure on their bitter rivals with six games left. Greenwood had opened the scoring early in the second half at Old Trafford before James Tarkowski equalised moments later.

Greenwood's second made him the joint-top scoring teenager in Premier League history for United, level with Wayne Rooney on 15 goals.

Edinson Cavani grabbed the third goal in stoppage-time as second placed United won six consecutiv­e Premier League games for the first time since January 2019.

Earlier, Arsenal were seconds away from a first ever home defeat against Fulham as they laboured to find a response to Josh Maja's second half penalty.

But Nketiah's leveller pushed Fulham closer to relegation deep into stoppage-time.

On Saturday, Sheffield United's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed after a 0-1 defeat at Wolves while Norwich City were promoted to the Premier League despite a 1-3 defeat to Bournemout­h as draws for Swansea and Brentford sent the Championsh­ip leaders back into the top-flight.

FA CUP Chelsea end City’s quadruple quest

London, UK - Chelsea ended Manchester City's quest for a historic quadruple of trophies as Hakim Ziyech's goal earned a 1-0 win to take the Blues into the FA Cup final on Saturday.

A damaging day for City also saw them lose Kevin De Bruyne to an ankle injury just over a week away from the League Cup final, where they face Spurs, and the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal against PSG.
