Matchday LIVE: Leicester win FA Cup after VAR drama, Juventus claim crucial win over Inter & more

Schmeichel collects the FA Cup and summons club captain Wes Morgan to lift the trophy and the party can begin for the Foxes.

Foxes lift the cup

On that note, a low one for West Ham, we will close things down. Until tomorrow, with the highlights being some title excitement in Spain and France, and Champions League qualification battles in England and Italy. Thanks for tuning in.

That's all, folks

The reaction of West Ham's players at full time told the story. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> West Ham players look deflated at full-time as their top 4 pursuit takes a blow <a href="https://t.co/3F8mBWt720">pic.twitter.com/3F8mBWt720</a> — Football Daily (@footballdaily) <a href="https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1393671088429846528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Blow for West Ham

Spoils shared, and a point is not really good enough for West Ham. Even three would have only provided them with an outside shot at Champions League qualification, but they now seem certain to fall short. It’s still been an impressive effort given some tipped Moyes’ side for relegation.

FT! Brighton 1-1 West Ham

90 - Massive appeals for a West Ham penalty after a cross from Lingard but VAR says nothing to see. Desperate stuff now for West Ham. Three extra minutes to be played.

Brighton 1-1 West Ham

87 - Hope for West Ham as Benrahma picks up the ball on the edge of the box and curls his shot into the corner. A glorious finish. Still time for West Ham to grab a winner.

GOAL! Brighton 1-1 West Ham

84 - Disaster for West Ham. A brilliant run from Welbeck who latches on to a fine pass from Percy Tau and dinks his shot over Fabianski. Hammers’ Champions League dreams are going up in smoke.

GOAL! Brighton 1-0 West Ham

83 - CHANCE! A brilliant cross from Benrahma and Dawson rises unchallenged from eight yards but glances the ball wide of the far post. The agony for David Moyes.

Brighton 0-0 West Ham

Roma take derby honours and it also ends Lazio’s hopes of Champions League qualification. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> 🔴 Mkhitaryan 42' 🔴 Pedro 78' Roma beat Lazio 2-0 in the Derby della Capitale! 🐺 <a href="https://t.co/1EDpMUN2sz">pic.twitter.com/1EDpMUN2sz</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1393666887201009664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

FT! Roma 2-0 Lazio

87 - To rub salt into Lazio the wounds, Acerbi is dismissed. He’s had a torrid time against Dzeko and is given a second yellow for a pull of the shirt.

RED CARD! Roma 2-0 Lazio

72 - Everybody loves a bit of eccentric goalkeeping. Robert Sanchez delivers when dashing off his line to beat Fornals to the ball, only to retreat. But he does not retreat the whole way. He stands 15 yards from his goal near the goalline. It was so eccentric it appeared to confuse Fornals who in trying to pick out a team-mate in the middle of an unguarded goal gifted the ball to Sanchez.

78 - A hammer blow for Lazio. Roma have been the brighter of the two sides since weathering an early storm and Pedro climbs off the bench to double the lead. He shrugs off a couple of challenges and curls home a superb left-footed shot from 20 yards.

GOAL! Roma 2-0 Lazio

75 - CLOSE. Lazio have not done much in the second half, but from nowhere Immobile produces a back-heel flick on goal that Furzato does superbly to save.

Roma 1-0 Lazio

55 - A third chance for Jahanbakhsh in a matter of minutes. He pressures Cresswell into a poor defensive header and races onto the loose ball. He dinks his shot over Fabianski but the ball grazes the post.

53 - Brighton have come to life. It’s Jahanbakhsh who gets round the back again and shoots powerfully towards goal, and Fabianski is forced to parry the ball away.

50 - Brighton spring in behind the West Ham defence and Jahanbakhsh has a chance to pick out Welbeck in the middle but Fabianski is superbly placed to smother the danger.

46 - Bright start to the second half from West Ham. Antonio shrugs off defenders like ragdolls but is off balance when shooting and blazes over.

Brighton survived a barrage of late pressure to keep themselves on level terms but will need to show more in the second half if they are to keep West Ham at bay.

HT - Brighton 0-0 West Ham

44 - Soucek with a fierce drive from the edge of the area. The ball is beaten away by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and the rebound bounces over the onrushing Fornals. Hammers piling on the pressure now.

41 - Big chance for West Ham as Cresswell picks out Fornals on the edge of the area. He looks up and aims for the far corner but the shot is blocked and subsequent pleas for a penalty for handball are waved away.

Roma lead at the break thanks to&nbsp;Henrikh Mkhitaryan's volley.

HT - Roma 1-0 Lazio

Over in Turkey, the Super Lig went to Besiktas by the narrowest of margins.&nbsp; Besiktas&nbsp;and Galatasaray were locked together on 84 points, but the former had a goal difference one better than their rivals and clinched the title thanks to Rachid Ghezzal’s penalty 20 minutes from time in their 2-1 win over Goztepe. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 🇹🇷 Besiktas have won the Super Lig title on goal difference! 🏆 BY ONE GOAL! 🤯 🥇 | 84pts | +45GD | Besiktas 🥈 | 84pts | +44GD | Galatasaray 🥉 | 82pts | +31GD | Fenerbahce <a href="https://t.co/5DAhH2Ksen">pic.twitter.com/5DAhH2Ksen</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1393653774661693442?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Besiktas champions of Turkey

42 - After weathering a storm, Roma hit Lazio with a sucker punch. Dzeko latches on to a through ball from El Shaarawy and pulls the ball back for Mkhitaryan to slot home. A huge blow to Lazio’s top-four hopes.

GOAL! Roma 1-0 Lazio

The Chelsea boss caused a stir by playing Reece James at centre-back and Cesar Azpilicueta at wing-back. He felt the decision was justified to counter the threat of Jamie Vardy, and that Azpilicueta was close to scoring. "We changed the position because we knew about the position of Jamie Vardy," Tuchel said. "We wanted Reece's power and acceleration to eliminate the threat. He did fantastic today. I'm very happy. "If Azpi had scored the goal it would've been a great decision. It was a decision for&nbsp;tactical reasons and I'm very happy with how we defended in general today."

Tuchel defends selection

38 - Lazio continue to press and this time the chance falls to Milinkopvic-Savic, but his shot is tame and easy for Fuzato. You get the feeling Lazio need to take one of these chances.

Roma 0-0 Lazio

24 - After a positive start from West Ham, Brighton are coming into the game now and Fabianski dashes off his line to snuff out a chance.

34 - Lazio are pressing and have a goal disallowed, with Muriqi ruled offside.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> Jamie Vardy is an English football legend.

Vardy party

28 - SAVE! - Milinkovic-Savic wins possession and feeds Luis Alberto whose shot is well saved by Daniel Fuzato.

Tommy T feels Chelsea played well and were unlucky. He said: "We are disappointed and not angry with our performance from the boys. I think the performance is enough to win it. I think today we were unlucky and we've never hidden that we need to have that to win at this level. You need momentum, decision making, little details, the referee. "I think we defended well, counter-pressed well, didn't allow counter-attacks by one of the best counter-attacking sides in Europe. "Our decision making in the first half was too hectic, we tried to force the solution. We created two against two and three against three situations that were more promising than we made of it. "We conceded a goal from nothing. It's a fantastic goal and a lucky goal. We have a chance from Mason, an offisde goal that was very close. We were unlucky today."

Tuchel reaction

We’re underway. The Hammers have an outside chance of European qualification and will be pressing hard against the Seagulls.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers was overjoyed to deliver FA Cup glory. "It's an amazing feeling, I wasn't aware before I came to Leicester that they'd never won the FA cup, they'd lost in four finals previous so to be able to give that to the owners and the fans, so special," he told the BBC. "So proud, the board players staff, supporters, an amazing day for the city, so proud for everyone. "The success of this team and club is getting to positions like this and competing, the so-called bigger clubs are expected to win but our success is competing and if we can perform like today we can go and win, what a day for everyone involved with Leicester."

Rodgers reaction

Kick off in the Rome derby. Lazio have an outside chance (it is a slender chance) of snatching a Champions League place so will be pushing hard against Roma.

Great scenes on the pitch as chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha was brought in to join the celebrations by Schmeichel. Srivaddhanaprabha was embraced by all the players and then handed the trophy to continue the celebrations.

A family affair

It was devastation for Chelsea, but the scenes of celebration among the Leicester supporters shows just how much football has missed the fans. They will be celebrating long into the night.

Joy for Leicester fans

The goalkeeper gave his thoughts to the BBC: “I can’t begin to describe it. What a day. It’s what dreams are made of. I’ve dreamt of this since i was a child. The performance today, the determination. I am so proud of everybody. “Everybody at the club has been sensational. We do things together and do things properly. “Today, for the fans, it is amazing. “Youri, wow. What a finish.&nbsp;&nbsp; “Today is an amazing day. We will enjoy it, but we are training tomorrow as we play them again on Tuesday in a massive, massive game.”

Schmeichel reaction

You can’t help but be a bit thrilled for Leicester. Schmeichel celebrating wildly and getting the plaudits from his team-mates and rightly so for two stunning saves.

Foxes celebrating wildly 

Leicester are FA Cup winners for the first time. It wasn’t a classic, but the goal from Tielemans was good enough to win any game. Throw in a bit of VAR controversy at the end and the fans at Wembley were given plenty to talk about.

FT - Chelsea 0-1 Leicester

89 - DRAMA AT THE DEATH! Chelsea think they are level as Wes&nbsp;Morgan turns the ball into his own net. It’s a brilliant run from Chilwell who drives the ball across goal. Soyuncu attempts to clear but fires it at Morgan and it ricochets into the net. But VAR takes a look and Chilwell is offside.

Chelsea 0-1 Leicester

87 - Schmeichel with a stunning save. Mount fires a fierce shot on goal from 12 yards, and the Dane dives to his left to push it round the post. It was a brilliant stop.

Juventus hold on for the win as they continue their push for Champions League qualification. It goes down to the final weekend now.

FT -  Juventus 3-2 Inter

82 - Werner is replaced by Giroud. Can fully understand that as the German has not done much and Giroud is a big-game player who has won FA Cups. Leicester bring on Captain Morgan. Wes to organise it at the back.

90 - Ten against ten now as Brozovic is sent off for a second bookable offence.

Juventus 3-2 Inter

78 - Chilwell rises high to head towards the bottom corner and Schmeichel springs to his right to make a brilliant save.

(Cuadrado, 87) Perisic trips Cuadrado in the box and it’s a penalty to Juventus.&nbsp; Cuadrado takes responsibility and turns the ball home. A mad game of football with so much on the line.

GOAL! Juventus 3-2 Inter

(Chiellini, 84) Chiellini turns the ball into his own net&nbsp;only for the officials to rule it out. VAR steps in and views that it was a foul by Chiellini so it is overturned and Inter are level.

GOAL! Juventus 2-2 Inter

67 - SUBS! Chelsea turn to Captain America, Christian Pulisic. Ben Chilwell on as well for Ziyech and Alonso.

73 - Chance for Inter but De Ligt is on hand to hack clear with Lautaro ready to pounce.

Juventus 2-1 Inter

(Tielemans, 63)&nbsp; - What a hit, son. Tielemans strides forward with the ball and lets fly from 25 yards and it rockets into the top corner. He's been the best player on the park, to be fair. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Youri Tielemans with a SCREAMER 🚀 One of the great <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FACupFinal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FACupFinal</a> goals! 😍🔥<a href="https://t.co/tuKfCmWRss">pic.twitter.com/tuKfCmWRss</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1393622890797543434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

We have a shot on target!

53 - We have our first effort on goal as Kante digs out a cross from the right and Alonso heads towards goal. Schmeichel could have caught it in his cap, but he’s not wearing one so wisely went with his hands instead.

Chelsea 0-0 Leicester

49 - Second half following a similar path to the first with plenty of effort but a lack of quality. Who is going to blink first?

RED CARD! Bentancur sent off for Juve for a second bookable offence. Game on now.

Half-time and we were right to say it would be cagey. Still, I bet the crowd would be happy to be watching rain run down the wall, just to get out of the house.

43 - A half chance for Soyuncu who meets a free kick at the near post but is unable to direct his effort on target. He was outside the frame of the goal so never easy under pressure.

(Cuadrado, 35) Juve back in front on the stroke of half-time. The Colombian lets fly from distance and the ball takes a deflection over Handanovic. The top-four dream is back on. That's now half-time.

GOAL! Juventus 2-1 Inter

33 - Blow for Leicester as Jonny Evans is forced off. It was a big gamble to play him on the back of his injury last week, but he never looked comfortable and is now being replaced by Marc Albrighton.

29 - Big chance! Chelsea continue to turn the screw and Azpilicueta is within a whisker of putting his side ahead, but he’s just unable to reach a cross at the far post. Thiago Silva's cross was heading towards the Spaniard, but a flick from team-mate Werner took the ball out of his reach.

Nothing quite like making light of breaking the law during a pandemic. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> Romelu Lukaku levels for Inter! 🖤💙 Then Achraf Hakimi arrests him 🤨 <a href="https://t.co/r19nwADk9T">pic.twitter.com/r19nwADk9T</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1393606931588206592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

(Lukaku, 35) Big Rom makes no mistake from the spot to draw Inter level following a foul by De Ligt on Lautaro. Napoli, AC Milan and Atalanta dancing a jig od delight right now.

GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Inter

16 - First positive moment for Leicester who spring forward down the right, but Reece James is on hand to snuff out the chance as it fell to Jamie Vardy.

(Ronaldo, 24) Darmian penalised for a foul on Chiellini in the box. Ronaldo’s spot kick is saved by Handanovic but the Portuguese is alert to turn the rebound home. It's Ronaldo's 29th goal of the season in Serie A. Not bad for a supposedly bad season.

GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Inter

5 - Chelsea making the early running and a wild swipe at the ball that did not prove costly from Caglar Soyuncu suggests early nerves in the Leicester camp.

10 - Juventus with an early chance, Dejan Kulusevski sees his effort blocked by Milan Skriniar.

Juventus 0-0 Inter

We’re underway at Wembley and this could be a cagey affair. Chelsea and Leicester meet again a few days later and as sad as it sounds, it could be a more important outcome with both chasing Champions League qualification via the league.

Kick off at Wembley

We’re 15 minutes from kick off of the FA Cup final and it’s an absolute delight to hear the crowd at Wembley. Long may that continue.

Lewandowski a legend?

It's the hosts who are on top at the break in the Premier League thanks to Che Adams' header, but it's been a close contest on the whole. Fulham may be headed to the Championship, but they are not going down without signing off on their own terms if they can help it.

HT: Southampton 1-0 Burnley

Adams fires Saints into lead at St Mary's

This one will count! This time, Sane gets the finish instead, and it is a close-range touch to guide it beyond&nbsp;Mark Flekken, after a neat assist from Thomas Muller. Bayern are back on top in the Bundesliga.

GOAL: Freiburg 1-2 Bayern

Bayern thought they'd got the lead back - but no! Serge Gnabry wrestles home Leroy Sane's cross at close-range near the left post but VAR chalks it off for an infringement in the build-up. A tough one to swallow for the champions, but at least it wasn't Robert Lewandowski seeing a historic goal taken away from him.

DISALLOWED GOAL: Freiburg 1-1 Bayern

We're back underway in the Bundesliga and Robert Lewandowski is hunting history. He's got another game after this - touch wood - to find the goal to break Gerd Muller's record, but he'd be delighted to see if he could find it today.

Lewandowski back on the prowl

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">7 - All seven of James Ward-Prowse's Premier League assists this season have come from set piece situations, with the Southampton captain providing more such assists than any other player in the competition this term.

Ward-Prowse continues sublime set-piece form

Saints have the breakthrough! It's James Ward-Prowse with the set-piece delivery - who else? - from a corner, and it is Che Adams who mashes a right-footed effort at close range into the roof of the net. Saints have actually had less ball than their visitors so far, but they have looked a little toothier in front of goal and they have got their just reward.

GOAL: Southampton 1-0 Fulham

There's no goals to speak of at St Mary's but it doesn't look too good for Fulham even if they do find one. There has only been one away win in 15 Premier League meetings between Southampton and Fulham, with Saints winning 3-0 at Craven Cottage under Mauricio Pochettino back in February 2014. Current Fulham manager Scott Parker started for the Cottagers in the match. The history books are against them.

History paints poor omen for Fulham

It's the end of the first half in Freiburg, and there's not really much to say beyond the fact that Robert Lewandowski has written his name into the history books, hasn't he? He's not done yet. He has a game and a half of football to take Gerd Muller's all-time record outright, but Manuel Gulde's header has ensured that this game remains one that needs to be won by the champions.

History beckons for Lewandowski

Across the North Sea in England, we are underway in the second Premier League clash of the day! Ralph Hasenhuttl and Scott Parker know their sides have nothing to play for - this would have been a tough game to sell to the neutral, to put it mildly - but here's hoping they can deliver a fun warm-up for the Wembley showpiece that will follow.

KO: Southampton v Fulham

That lead didn't last long! In all the excitement of this game being the day where Robert Lewandowski could finally make history, it's important to remember that a game of football is happening. Freiburg certainly have not forgot and they have squared things up with a fine set-piece effort. Manuel Gulde gets the lightest of flicks on&nbsp;Vincenzo Grifo's cross following a corner from the left flank, but it is enough to steer it past&nbsp;Alexander Nubel and in at the far post.

GOAL: Freiburg 1-1 Bayern

That's the leveller! Robert Lewandowski has matched Gerd Muller's all-time single-season Bundesliga goalscoring record! He stutters in the final step of his run-up, and slots it, cool as you like, in at the right post as&nbsp;Mark Flekken goes the other way. Both Bayern's players and staff form a guard of honour on the edge of Hansi Flick's technical area, and the striker sails through it, a grin so blinding that it could power a lighthouse in the mid-Atlantic. There's a smattering of applause from Freiburg too. It is a stunning achievement. Now, to see if he can go that one step further...

GOAL: Freiburg 0-1 Bayern

Thomas Muller goes down in the hosts' box - and referee Florian Badstubner awards the spot-kick! It's time, surely? Robert Lewandowski will take from the white dot in the middle of the penalty area. The weight of expectation sits on his shoulders. A massive moment in his career and the history of German football beckons.

PENALTY: Freiburg 0-0 Bayern

Freiburg are on a three-game unbeaten run at home in the Bundesliga (W2, D1), keeping two clean sheets in the process – as many shutouts as across their first 13 matches at the Schwarzwald-Stadion this season. So far, they are on course for four. They've done a solid job at thwarting Hansi Flick's hopes of a penultimate win in charge - and Robert Lewandowski's chances of bagging that elusive double.
