guarantee of finishing the top four just yet. united jolted into life. chris smalling, 2—i. now the action veered between scrambled and strangely slow motion. romelu lukaku waited and waited until he could. still we had time for to moment of decisive brilliance, both from united players. first david de gea somehow kept at christian benteke. that was how close chris palace might have been to victory, then in stoppage time all their efforts were under in an instance. nemanja matic, breathtaking, heartbreaking. under in an instance. nemanja matic, breathtaking, heartbreakingm under in an instance. nemanja matic, breathtaking, heartbreaking. it is relief. you always believe, other times more than others. but obviously with smalling's goal, i a lwa ys obviously with smalling's goal, i always thought that was possible. obviously with smalling's goal, i always thought that was possiblem was a roller—coaster sunday as well

pages are already in... let's take a look... red spy in uk poison terror is how the sun described the russian man hospitalised in salisbury after being exposed to an unknown substance. that story also the lead for the i, which comments on how similarities maybe drawn between this case and that of alexander litvinenko in 2006. the events in salisbury also the lead for the telegraph, but the paper also reports on plans by saudi arabia to strengthen intelligence sharing with britain. the metro takes a closer look at some of the big winners at last night's academy awards. the top story in the financial times is how uk airlines' transatlantic routes may be cut after brexit. the guardian carries a large image of sergei skripal — the russian man believed to be in hospital in salisbury. the financial times bucks the trend and leads on how uk airlines' transatlantic routes maybe negatively affected after brexit.
