    There were only four Premier League matches at the weekend but there were some pretty big results.

    Tottenham's top-four ambitions suffered a blow as they lost to an impressive Fulham side.

    But Aston Villa were unable to fully capitalise just about claiming a draw at West Ham. Burnley boosted their survival hopes, while Luton scored a late equaliser against Nottingham Forest to sit three points from their opponents and safety.

    Before we get to those let's have a look at some of the newspaper back pages..

    Sadly, yesterday's game was marred by distasteful chanting, some of which related to past events where numerous fans died having just gone to watch a game of football.

    Manchester United and Liverpool have appealed to supporters to stop but some are choosing not to listen.

    A spokesperson from Greater Manchester Police said: “GMP can confirm that an arrest has been made in connection with tragedy chanting at the Manchester United v Liverpool fixture.

    “Incidents of tragedy chanting will not be tolerated and will be dealt with robustly. We are all familiar with fans taunting their opponents at football matches, but this is generally done in good humour and without offence.

    "The incidents today crossed the line of what is acceptable, and we will work closely with both clubs to identify anyone responsible for committing offences during the event."

    FA Cup 2024: Man City beat Newcastle to reach semi-finals

    Manchester City cruised into the FA Cup semi-finals with a comfortable victory over a jaded and disappointing Newcastle United at Etihad Stadium.

    Pep Guardiola's side remain in contention to repeat last season's historic Treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, and were barely troubled on a rain-lashed night in Manchester.

    They are the first side in FA Cup history to reach six successive FA Cup semi-finals, and have reached the last four in seven of Guardiola's eight campaigns in charge.

    City were in control with a two-goal lead by the break on Saturday, and although both goals had an element of good fortune, they reflected a half in which the holders were dominant with 75% possession.

    First, Bernardo Silva's shot was deflected up and over Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka by Dan Burn's outstretched leg after 13 minutes, then the Portuguese's effort went in via the head of defender Sven Botman just after the half hour.

  7. Don't question our character - Ten Hagpublished at 07:39 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2024

    There has been a lot of criticism of Manchester United this season, not least around their character under pressure and if they have the mental capability to be a top side under Erik ten Hag.

    The Dutchman has continually defended his players during an at times tortuous campaign.

    After one of the best days of the campaign at Old Trafford yesterday, he pushed back on their behalf again.

    "I don’t understand why there are questions about this," he said. "They are great characters and we see the determination again.

    "This season we have so many setbacks and every time we have to adapt.

    "Jonny Evans dropped out at the last minute on Saturday and we have to adjust and bring a player in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who didn’t play for four or five weeks and had only one or two training sessions.

    "We still have a lot of injuries but I am very proud of the run we are on even if we still have to catch up."

    'That's a shocker' - Sterling has poor penalty saved

    Raheem Sterling had one of those days for Chelsea on Sunday. The England forward missed a penalty and a free-kick attempt from the edge of he Leicester box which ended up in row z did not go down well with the home faithful.

    Sterling also missed a one-on-one in the first half and when boss Mauricio Pochettino took off Mykhailo Mudryk instead of Sterling the atmosphere verged on mutinous.

    There were ironic cheers, some boos and some applause when Sterling was eventually withdrawn.

    Chelsea reach FA Cup semis with late goal against Leicester

    Chelsea made hard work of things against Championship promotion chasers Leicester City.

    The hosts led comfortably at 2-0 until Axel Disasi scored a comedy own goal from 35 yards out to breathe life into the tie in the 51st minute.

    Stephy Mavididi curled in a superb equaliser 11 minutes later after which a fractious Stamford Bridge voiced its unrest with loud boos and chants of "you don't know what you're doing", in the direction of Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino.

    However, substitutes Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke saved the day for him after Foxes defender Callum Doyle had been sent off.

    How good were Coventry City on Saturday btw?

    They may have left it late and had to come from behind but they were pretty good value for their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

    The Championship sides' reward is a semi-final spot and glamour meeting with Manchester United at Wembley.

  11. 'There is life in Erik Ten Hag yet as Man Utd manager'published at 07:13 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2024

    Man Utd 4-3 Liverpool AET

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer

    Erik ten Hag's future as Manchester United manager was never going to be definitively shaped by one game but even the taciturn Dutchman must have known how much was riding on the FA Cup quarter-final meeting with Liverpool at Old Trafford.

    A defeat would have only hardened belief that Ten Hag is not the right fit to take United forward within the revamped football structure being assembled by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

    A win might just be enough to persuade the rulers inside Old Trafford's hierarchy that Ten Hag is their man.

    And what a win it was after a head-spinning game overflowing with the ingredients Old Trafford loves. Manchester United's 4-3 victory was sealed in the dying seconds of extra time in front of the Stretford End. Just like old times.

    This was the biggest and most spectacular result of Ten Hag's United career - and may just be the result that gives him a long-term future at Old Trafford.

    The sun is shining in M16 this morning, with Old Trafford literally round the corner from the BBC Sport building in Media City.

    And could Manchester United's thrilling victory over Liverpool be a welcome new dawn for manager Erik ten Hag, whose future has been the source of much media speculation?

    Our chief football writer Phil McNulty seems to think so...

    What a great weekend of FA Cup action with so many talking points.

    Could Manchester United's victory over Liverpool prove a turning point in their season? How will Jurgen Klopp's final season at Liverpool end?

    Will Chelsea stop Manchester City's pursuit of another treble? Can Coventry repeat their heroics from 1987?

    And we've not even got to the goings on in the Premier League yet.
