In a first half short on rhythm and interrupted by many fouls, it was Preston who made the breakthrough deep into added time.

It was a bad Good Friday for Millwall Blackburn Rovers delivered a resounding victory to put a major dent in Millwall’s flickering hopes of a late push for the Championship play-offs. Author - Mark Lee Norwegian midfielder Sondre Tronstad opened his league account in style, netting twice as Rovers secured their first home win in over two months.

Newcastle United thrashed Crystal Palace at St James' Park. The Magpies delivered a ruthless first-half display to race to a 4-0 lead and deal another blow to the Eagles' hopes of qualifying for Europe through their league position. Author - James P Was this a turning point? Jacob Murphy set the tone for the big win with the 14th-minute opener as the winger's right-foot strike from a very tight angle squeezed past Dean Henderson at his near post.

The Newcastle keeper redeemed himself with a routine save to stop Eberechi Eze's tame spot-kick. This would prove to be a turning point in the match. Newcastle doubled their lead in the 38th minute when Palace defender Marc Guehi turned a Harvey Barnes cross into his own net. READ MORE: Previous Palace stories from Lond...

Author - Lucy W Judging by the dedication of their 02 audience, the iconic British girl group’s songs have stood the test of time. For the most part of this concert, it was a night (or 80 minutes) of wall-to-wall bangers.  It’s easy to forget just how many bangers they have in their arsenal but, whipping through ‘Overload’, ‘Hole in the Head’, ‘In The Middle’ and ‘Red Dress’ within the first 15 minutes made you remember how good they were.  READ MORE:  A closer look at London's best gig venues READ MORE:  Gig Review: The Bug Club READ MORE:  Gig Review: Jack White Returning to the end of the platform in their rave gear, ‘Round Round’ is served with a dance break and neon green strobes. ‘Freaks’ and ‘Push The Button’ come in quick succession and, before final song ‘About You Now’.

Author - Greg S The Brazilian, deputising for the injured Kevin Trapp, produced a series of outstanding saves in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, frustrating Spurs throughout a breathless encounter. Frankfurt struck early through Hugo Ekitike, whose low drive in the sixth minute underlined why a number of Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on the 22-year-old forward.

The Frenchman cut inside and picked his spot with precision, beating Guglielmo Vicario at the far post. Spurs responded with intent and gradually gained control. Their efforts were rewarded when Pedro Porro levelled the tie w...

Author - Josh D Omar Bugiel’s well-taken strike put Wimbledon in front, but a late free-kick denied them all three points, leaving them frustrated after a match in which they more than held their own against the league leaders.

QPR struggle as Stoke cruise to victory Queens Park Rangers endured a dismal afternoon at the bet365 Stadium, falling to a 3-1 defeat against Stoke City. Author - Lauren W The hosts seized control early on, taking a two-goal lead into the break thanks to strikes from Bae Junho and Junior Tchamadeu. Any hopes of a Rangers fightback were swiftly dashed when Million Manhoef added a third shortly after the restart. Yang Min-Hyeok did at least mark his first QPR goal with a well-taken effort late on, but it proved little more than a consolation on a frustrating day for Martí Cifuentes’ side. Stoke were dominant from the off Stoke made their intentions clear from the outset, pressing QPR high and dictating the tempo.
