Chelsea are into the Champions League semi-finals. SEVILLE: Chelsea reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2014 despite a 1-0 defeat against Porto in Tuesday's quarter-final second leg in Seville. Thomas Tuchel's side will play Real Madrid or Liverpool for a place in the final after producing a masterclass in game management to win 2-1 on aggregate. Real travel to Anfield on Wednesday looking to protect a 3-1 lead from the first leg. They could do worse than copy Tuchel's tactics as Chelsea smothered Porto with an intelligent defensive approach until Mehdi Taremi's stunning bicycle kick in the last minute of stoppage-time. That sublime strike was out of character with the rest of Porto's display as they laboured to overturn the 2-0 first-leg deficit. Chelsea have lost only once in 18 matches since Tuchel replaced the sacked Frank Lampard in January and this was another feather in the German's cap. Tuchel had admitted this week was a make or ... » Learn More about Chelsea into Champions League semis for first time since 2014

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Manchester United were sparked into life by the injustice of seeing Edinson Cavani's opening goal controversially ruled out as the Red Devils roared back to beat Tottenham 3-1 on Sunday. United came from behind to win for the ninth time in the league this season as second-half goals from Fred, Cavani and Mason Greenwood cancelled out Son Heung-min's opener. However, Solskjaer still took aim at Son for his role in the goal United had ruled out. Paul Pogba and Cavani combined brilliantly for the Uruguayan to drill the ball low between the legs of Hugo Lloris on 36 minutes. But a VAR review by referee Chris Kavanagh resulted in a Tottenham free-kick for a foul by Scott McTominay on Son in the build-up. The Scottish international made minimal contact with Son's face as he swatted the South Korean aside. "The game is absolutely gone if that's a clear and obvious error," said Solskjaer. "It was a perfectly good goal. I think that kickstarted us, the ... » Learn More about Solskjaer ‘not conned’ by Son as Man Utd gain revenge on Spurs

West Brom striker Callum Robinson celebrates scoring against Southampton LONDON - West Bromwich Albion improved their slender hopes of avoiding relegation from the Premier League as they survived VAR controversy to beat Southampton 3-0, while Everton's fading top four bid was damaged by a 0-0 draw at Brighton on Monday. Albion saw Mbaye Diagne's goal questionably ruled out by VAR early in the first half at the Hawthorns. But Sam Allardyce's side recovered from that blow to sweep into a two-goal lead by half-time thanks to Matheus Pereira's penalty and a Matt Phillips strike. Callum Robinson sealed West Brom's second successive win after the interval as the Baggies built on their stunning 5-2 victory at Chelsea. Second bottom Albion move within eight points of fourth bottom Newcastle with seven games left.

WEST BROMWICH -West Bromwich Albion beat Southampton 3-0 in convincing fashion in the Premier League on Monday as Sam Allardyce's side look to salvage their top flight survival hopes in the home stretch of the season. West Brom, who beat Chelsea 5-2 last weekend, have won back-to-back games for the first time this season and the 19th-placed side are within eight points of the safety zone with seven games to go.
