Incredible that by every 'all comps' metric, this season is better.

City lost both legs. Chelsea got smashed in both legs. Looking forward to seeing how this is all Arsenal's fault tomorrow.

League: Top by nine points FA Cup: QF Champions League: QF Carabao: Final. What a position. But Sunday is where the end game starts.

That was about as professional a display as you'll see in a game like that. Job comprehensively done.

Can we clone Ally McCoist and have him on all the channels? Always calls the match in front of him, doesn't care about agendas and narratives, good fun to listen to.

Stunning save from Raya. When you beat the defence, he's there. We're so hard to score against.

I have high hopes for a second season from Gyokeres, after a rested summer (Sweden didn't qualify for the World Cup) and a full pre-season. He's a different player now that he's sharp. Been superb tonight.

What the actual hell?

Yeah, that's not going to stand. Havertz pulling a shirt and the ball went in off his hand. Pick your offence.

Mosquera for White (managing minutes) Norgaard for Zubimendi (resting for Sunday) Martinelli for Trossard (could be either of the above).

That's actually a way better finish than it initially seemed.

Rice! Leverkusen made a right pigs meal of getting rid of that and Rice punishes.

Gyokeres is on it tonight. Really impressed by how much his link up play has improved in recent weeks.

Eze just belongs. Big game player.

Chelsea 7-2 down. City 4-0 and a man down. Let's keep ruining English football, eh, Arsenal.

Genius. Amazing. What a ridiculous hit that was.

What a hit!!!!!

Looking increasingly like my first prediction of Sporting being in Gyokeres' future were right. Have to do our bit.

How early tonight, assuming we aren't cruising, do you think the commentators will start baying for Dowman? I'm guessing before half time.

Fun fact for the day - City are actually closer to United in the league than us. Easily missed.

This does make yesterday's decision ridiculous no matter the self-reporting. It does also remind us that Liverpool's title defence this year is by no means the worst. Chelsea's 10th place between their two titles is now made even worse by the flagrant cheating they were doing at the time.

Ultimately it was very worth it for them and I just don't think that is the message the governing bodies should be sending, even with the self-reporting.

Shame that Spurs picked up a point, but maybe it'll convince them to keep Tudor until the end of the season, in which case, nice work Liverpool.

With Forest picking up a point, Spurs are now only outside the drop zone on goal difference. You know what to do, Liverpool.

Pretty sure Nuno is EXTREMELY motivated to stay up at the expense of one of Forest and Spurs.

Blue bottlers.

Meanwhile, the reason Spurs are in trouble is they have nowhere near the level of fight West Ham just showed. They were immense. Spurs would've rolled over. (And yes, it still amuses me that Spurs' last points were against....City).

"Their next few games are easy, against sides right at the bottom", they said. Drew with Forest. Drew with West Ham. They have to go to Chelsea next.

Arsenal closer to the title. Spurs closer to the drop. What a day. What. A. Day.

You absolute beauties, West Ham. Defended like absolute lions and not only does that scupper City, it puts them level with Spurs. What a day!

What a miss from Guehi! West Ham are holding fast here.

Quick word for Arteta's subs today... Hincapie - assist for the first Gyokeres - scored the first Dowman - star performance Martinelli - key header from that final corner (otherwise poor) Mosquera - filled in well at full back It's absolutely a squad game.

My eldest goes to university this year and I often worry whether she's ready to get out there in the world. She's 19 months older than Max Dowman. *sigh*

Never go full David Brent.

Agent Mavropanos. Donnarumma flaps again.

I like winning matches where the referee is atrocious. Because I can say the referee was atrocious after the game without it being sour grapes. He was awful. Really really bad.

That result also means we will definitely finish above Everton, who are 8th.

That's an incredible moment and an incredible cameo. Also, the way we won it is a dagger blow to City, JUST before they play their own game. Pressure.

You’ll always remember this

What. A. Moment.

Dowman with the breakaway goal!!!!!!!

Dowman, fresh from setting up the goal, puts in a good tackle and gees up the crowd. Love him.

Narrator - something broke our way. What a cross from Dowman. Bounced off Hincapie and Gyokeres was where a number 9 should be.

YYYEEEEEESSSSS!

There should be seven minutes added on today. There will be four.

The ref isn't going to book a single Everton player for all these restart delays, is he?

This ref is buying every Everton dive and it's really winding me up (and the players).

Everton hanging on now. There's time.

Martinelli for Madueke is an odd one, given that the latter was looking dangerous and one of the more likely to break this block down.

Everton are so dogged in defence. Need something to break our way.
