THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Daniel Storey, Sasha Goryunov and Adrian Clarke after an emotional weekend of football.


Crystal Palace stun Man City to win the FA Cup, their first ever major trophy. Dom Fifield joins us to explain what this means for the club. Plus what was going on with Pep’s decision-making?


One point separates 3rd from 7th in the Premier League as the race for the top 5 intensifies. Forest earn a much needed win at West Ham to ensure a mouthwatering final day decider with Chelsea at the City Ground.


Man United and Spurs are beaten again on Friday night, with all eyes now on their Europa League final in Bilbao.


And there are emotional goodbyes for Goodison Park and Jamie Vardy, plus another goalfest at the Gtech.


Produced by Charlie Jones.
