FULL TIME: Fulham 0-1 Bournemouth

A huge win for Bournemouth who are now two wins from Europe and potentially even the Champions League.

Andoni Iraola’s side clinch a crucial three points after Rayan’s second half opener.

Both sides had to play the duration of the second half with 10 men after Ryan Christie and Joachim Andersen were sent off in the first half.

Fulham 0-1 Bournemouth

Some finish at Craven Cottage.

Bournemouth nearly put the game to bed as Amine Adli is denied by Bernd Leno.

Fulham then go down the other end and nearly equalise.

Josh King sees an effort come back down off the crossbar and bounce on the line, but it stays out.

FULL TIME: Brighton 3-0 Wolves

It is all over at the Amex – although it has felt that way for a while after Brighton led 2-0 after six minutes.

The Seagulls ease to victory over Wolves to continue their push for Europe.

Brighton have Leeds and Man United to come in their final two matches.

Wolves just simply want this season to end.

FULL TIME: Sunderland 0-0 Man United

Man United’s winning run comes to an end with a goalless draw at the Stadium of Light.

They could have snatched it late on, while Sunderland will feel they probably should have taken all three points today.

The point does strengthen Man United’s grip of third place.

Sunderland 0-0 Man United

Matheus Cunha has a massive chance to win it for Man United and forces a great stop from Roefs.

The Brazilian then goes down in the box looking for a penalty and is met with a yellow card for diving.

Some minute that.

Sunderland 0-0 Man United

Nothing is given.

We are heading into stoppage time now/

Goal:Brighton 3-0 Wolves (Minteh)

Brighton started with a flourish against Wolves and have now struck late.

Yankuba Minteh beats his man and fires beyond Daniel Bentley in the Wolves goal.

Brighton are going seventh, but will be two points behind Bournemouth as things stand.

Sunderland 0-0 Man United

Just five minutes of the 90 to go at the Stadium of Light.

Can anyone find a winner?

Sunderland 0-0 Man United

Sunderland hit the post!

Lutsharel Geertruida strikes the upright after lay-off from Brobbey.

The hosts continue to push for the breakthrough with 15 minutes to go.

Man United have scored in all of their games since November, so Sunderland still need to be wary.

‘United’s frustration evident’

There hasn’t been much improvement from United in the second half so it’s no surprise to see Dorgu coming on for Zirkzee to give them some more energy.
United’s frustration has been evident with Mount and Zirkzee picking up unnecessary bookings, both for fouls on Alderete, and Zirkzee then showing his displeasure towards Mainoo when the midfielder misplaced a pass to him.

Sunderland 0-0 Man United

Lammens to the rescue for Man United.

The Belgian makes a fine save to deny Brian Brobbey the opener.
