6:34 pm
but arsenal struck again nine minutes into the second half, again thanks to one of their defenders — this time a back post headerfrom gabriel. tottenham had been fourth for a few hours after a 3—1 home win over leicester city, but still trail their north london rivals by 2 points. there was a goal for harry kane and two for son heung min son now has 19 league goals — just three behind mohamed salah in the race for the golden boot. my my first thing is not the golden boot at all, at all. it is not important for me. obviously it is a great, great achievement and scoring 19 goals in the premier league is not easy. i'm very happy. i'm very grateful for all those helping me and playing from you. i think it is

incredible. i hope the team, you know. i do everything for the team. i do what i can so i think this is the most important than golden boot. celtic have their hands firmly on the scottish premiership after the final old firm derby of the season against rangers ended in a 1—1 draw at celtic park. rangers manager giovanni van bronkhorst said the match was a must win for his side who now trail celtic by 6 points with just three games to go. olly foster reports. it is the match that divides the city and defined seasons. in the smoke cleared on this may day meeting, it was celtic that led to the old firm fire. the opening goal was made. the japanese winger with the cross anticipated brilliantly midway through the first—half. celtic park erupted as the portuguese put them on their way. he then put it on a plate foot of the perfect pass not matched by the
6:36 pm
header. rangers, this was the last chance to trip celtic up or at break their stride as they close in on the title. this player silenced the home support with an equaliser. beaten by the post but was equal to the effort moments later. as the champions pushed for a winner there are great rivals were rattled. there are very few smiles at full—time. rangers needed more than a point to reignite their title hopes but, for celtic, that party is surely delayed. in the women's super league, arsenal got a big win in to close the gap on chelsea to just a point at the top of the table. they beat aston villa 7—0 at home. viviane miedema scored twice, and it means arsenal are currently a point behind chelsea — but emma hayes' table—topping side are away at bottom side birmingham city. that match kicks off at quarter to seven tonight.
