58 min: Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham A long-range shot from Amanda Nilden is spilled round the post by Hampton, whose confidence must have been affected by that mistake. Spurs are right in this game.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham (Summanen 52)
Spurs are level after a bad mistake from Hannah Hampton! She misjudged Eveliina Summanen’s big, inswinging free-kick from the left, which went over Hampton’s head and straight into the net.
47 min: Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham They’re off again in the FA Cup quarter-final at Kingsmeadow.
78 min: Millwall 1-2 Norwich If Norwich win they will move to within six points of a playoff place, having played one game more than Wrexham. It’s a long shot, but their form is so good that it’s certainly not beyond the realms.

Bundesliga round-up
They said nobody cared enough for the stakes to be this high. If discussion over the destination of the title (and second place for that matter) has been and gone, there is plenty more in the Bundesliga tank and for Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg, two clubs who will never hold universal approval despite producing teams to thrill us and break the Bayern monopoly in the last two decades, that is truer than for most.
Before RB Leipzig were around to corral all the disapproval of German supporters at large, there was El Plastico. As the two ‘factory’ teams of German football, grown from Bayer and Volkswagen respectively rather than from a fanbase, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg have endured a lifetime of rival fans looking d
GOAL! Millwall 1-2 Norwich (Schwartau 76)
How good are Norwich right now? The substitute Oscar Schwartau has given them a deserved lead at the Den. He led a three-on-two break, gave the ball to Toure, kept running to receive the return and slipped it past the keeper from six yards. Wow.

La Liga round-up
For one magical moment in the sunshine and the spotlight, the roughest man in Spanish football was the smoothest, the toughest, its most vulnerable. With his ponytail and the stubble covering a face that’s been lived in, they call Vedat Muriqi the Pirate and he’s supposed to have the turning circle of a galleon. But here there was grace, all 6ft 4in and 14 stone 8lbs of him moving like he was wearing slippers, not a pair of size 15s. The first touch, with the left, couldn’t have been softer; the second, with the right, couldn’t have been harder, all that emotion unleashed with the violence. The ball crashed into the net and the Kosovan crashed on to the turf, where he wept.
Muriqi had just scored the goal that may have brought the league title race to an early close, Mallorca defeating Real Madrid 2-1 with his 91st-minute goal a couple of hours before Barcelona went to Atlético Madrid and won in the 89th. But that wasn’t why he lay there, everyone going wild around him. It wasn’t why his face was hidden but his feelings couldn’t be, huge frame heaving. Muriqi was sobbing so hard it was a wonder Son Moix didn’t shake with him; some of the 23,015 inside it certainly did. Teammates came to him, embracing him briefly from behind then leaving him to let it out: first Omar Mascarell, then Sergi Darder, then Johan Mojica.
Full time: Portsmouth 2-2 Oxford
The end of a ding-dong battle at Fratton Park. Oxford will surely feel this is a missed opportunity: they played against 10 men three-quarters of the game and were 2-1 up after 87 minutes.
This is what it does to the league table going into this afternoon’s games.
90 min: Portsmouth 2-2 Oxford Five minutes of added time at Fratton Park. A winner for either side would be positively Brobdingnagian.

Half time: Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham
Sam Kerr’s goal has given Chelsea a deserved lead at half-time in the FA Cup quarter-final at Kingsmeadow.
GOAL! Millwall 1-1 Norwich (Mattson 62) And a pretty fine response from Norwich too. Pelle Mattsson has equalised with a sizzling strike from the edge of the area. Pick that out!
GOAL! Portsmouth 2-2 Oxford (Dozzell 88) A fabulous response from 10-man Portsmouth! Andre Dozzell has equalised with two minutes to go, turning in a cutback from the left.
