Alisson scored a last-minute header to win the game for Liverpool.

On a historic day, Leicester City won their first ever FA Cup, after failing at four previous finals. The difference on the day between them and Chelsea was an absolutely stunning goal from Youri Tielemans.
It's fair to say that one member of the BBC crew covering the match enjoyed that moment.

Barcelona made her-story on Sunday, as the women's team beat Chelsea 4-0 in the Women's Champions League final.
There was no way back for Emma Hayes' Chelsea, after they went in at half-time 4-0 down.
The tie had a spooky echo of the 2019 final, where it was Barcelona trailing by four goals at the break - that time to Lyon.
In case anyone wondered though, this was not a freak score line for the Catalan women.

Up steps the keeper and glances a header into the corner of the net.
