a great night for them, but presumably they don't want to be like leicester. they want to be a disappointment within the year. i have no doubt that this achievement is greater than leicester city's. 20 years ago some of us remember this football clu b some of us remember this football club was on its knees. it was 15 minutes from going out of the foot or leak and in the bottom division altogether. it had no ground. it had been sold by the previous owner. virtually every week there were protests of one sort or another. i was at the fa at that time and was fighting a battle with the lawyers, not for the first or last time in my life! isaid, not for the first or last time in my life! i said, what is the fa for if it is not to help with this sort of thing? and certain lawyers, who will remain nameless, said precedent, we have to it for every club, at cetera. there was some evidence that i want that little battle and played a small part in this club which you heard of, your interviewee from the streets of brighton, with a few interesting people behind them. you kno

i didn't think leicester had the form i have seen them halved in the recent weeks. the match very difficult for them. —— them have. george boyd scored the only goal as burnley beat stoke at turf moor to end their seven—game winless run. victory for burnley sees them moves eight points clear of the relegation zone and up to 12th, one place below stoke. watford made it back to back league wins after they beat west bromwich albion 2—0 at vicarage road. troy deeney was among the scorers, returning to the team following illness as the hornets played half an hour with ten men after miguel britos was sent off for a second yellow card. in spain's primera division, atletico madrid have moved to within five points of second placed barcelona after a felipe luis goal gave them all three points at home to real sociedad. that makes it five successive wins for diego simeone's side and means that both villareal and athletic bilbao both move ahead of sociedad into fifth and sixth place respectively after their wins. in the german bundesliga bayern munich were beaten at hoffenheim fo

let's hear from craig shakespeare, former west brom player, celebrating a win for leicester. performance today. i say performance, we had to show different aspects. we had to defend. a gutsy performance, pleased with the three points. ultimately, it is about the players. i can pick the team and the tactics, but they have got to perform. great credit goes to them. another goalless draw at stoke, as they drew 0—0 with west ham. it comes to something when we are talking about the goalkeeper? both sides in awfulform. to pick out talking about the goalkeeper? both sides in awful form. to pick out a positive, jack butland, brilliant performance, his first home game in the premier league since march 20 16. he had bad ankle injury he picked up playing for england. 0ne positive we can take from this game. let's look at the tables. let's see how it affects the bottom of the table. today was really all about the bottom of the table. we are going to see palace, one of the biggest losers, they have dropped quite a way down. still not safe, but you imagine they would be. hull, it was an im

leicester's defence had repelled arsenal's best efforts until huth unwittingly deflected a wayward shoteal past kasper schmeichel. we knew before the game with what happened on sunday afternoon and extra time that we didn't have much time to recover. but overall we were focused, serious and in the end we played against a team that was very difficult to get out of position to destabilise and we got the win we wanted. so there are four points between chelsea and spurs. chelsea face everton on sunday while it's the north london derby, also on what could be a pivotal sunday. arsenal are now four points off a champions league place while manchester city face neighbours united tomorrow evening. sunderland are on the brink of relegation from the premier league after they lost 1—0 at second bottom middlesbrough. marten de roon got the only goal of the game in the eighth minute to give boro their first league win of 2017 and boost their slim hopes of avoiding the drop, they're now 6 points from safety with sunderland, 6 points further back and with a game in hand. while there is a chance to keep
