Time to wrap up our Easter Monday clockwatch/live blog/whatever it’s called these days. Thanks for your company and emails – goodnight.

The Championship leaders Coventry visit Hull in the late game. We won’t be covering that on this blog – it’s been a long day – but we’ll have a report on the site later.

These are the teams for that game.

Hull Pandur, Drameh, Egan, Ajayi, Coyle, Hadziahmetovic, Collyer, Gelhardt, Crooks, Millar, McBurnie.

Subs: Phillips, Hughes, Lundstram, Belloumi, Jacob, Joseph, Dowell, Koumas, McNair.

Coventry Rushworth, van Ewijk, Latibeaudiere, Kitching, Dasilva, Grimes, Onyeka, Sakamoto, Overgaard, Mason-Clark, Wright.

Subs: Wilson, Rudoni, Allen, Simms, Esse, Bidwell, Markelo, Woolfenden, Eccles.

Referee David Webb (County Durham)

90 min: Swansea 2-2 Middlesbrough Five minutes of added time. If it stays like this, Ipswich will stay second, ahead of Boro and Millwall on goal difference with two games in hand.

88 min: Swansea 2-2 Middlesbrough A Swansea break ends with a fine swept shot from Liam Cullen and a flying one-handed save by Sol Brynn. Terrific goalkeeping.

87 min: Swansea 2-2 Middlesbrough Boro are making most of the running now, though Swansea carry a clear threat on the break. It’s been an excellent game.

Here’s a round-up of this afternoon’s Championship action

74 min: Penalty to Middlesbrough!

The third penalty of the match. Callum Brittain went over after a clumsy challenge from Eom; Swansea weren’t happy but it was given.

72 min: Swansea 2-1 Middlesbrough Boro have had 18 shots in the match, four on target. Swansea have had seven, with the two penalties their only efforts on target.

64 min: Swansea 2-1 Middlesbrough

A sensational save from the Swansea keeper Lawrence Vigouroux, who is at full stretch when he fingertips Aidan Morris’s shot round the post.

62 min: Swansea 2-1 Middlesbrough

Boro have started the second half well but they still trail. Back-to-back defeats over Easter would be a shattering blow to their hopes of automatic promotion.

Serie A result: Juventus 2-0 Genoa

Early goals from Bremer and Weston McKennie did the job for Juve in Turin. The Serie A table is affected thus.

80 min: Birmingham 0-1 Manchester City A stinging shot from Yui Hasegawa is fumbled onto the crossbar by Lucy Thomas. Moments later, Khiara Keating comes miles out of her area to clear a loose ball and clatters Lily Crosthwaite in her follow through. The referee was happy that it was a fair challenge.

76 min: Birmingham 0-1 Manchester City Manchester City are still on top but they haven’t been able to put Birmingham away.

46 min: Birmingham 0-1 Man City They’re back under way in the Women’s FA Cup quarter-final at St Andrew’s, where the Manchester City keeper Khiara Keating will have to deal with a low sun in the second half.

EFL round-up

Here’s more on the news that Lincoln City have been promoted to the second tier after a 65-year absence.

Half time: Birmingham 0-1 Man City The WSL leaders are on course for a mouth-moistening semi-final against Chelsea.

34 min: Birmingham 0-1 Man City Manchester City remain firmly in control at St Andrew’s. Bunny Shaw’s early goal was a beauty: a killer cross/pass from Iman Beney, a great off-the-ball run from Shaw and a clinical finish.

Swansea v Middlesbrough has just got under way in the Championship. And in the 5pm Serie A game, Juventus lead Genoa 2-0 in Turin. Bremer and Weston McKennie scored the goals.

Thanks John, hello everyone. Let’s start with the latest from the final FA Cup quarter-final at St Andrews. Manchester City lead 1-0 after half an hour, and you will never, ever guess who scored.

We’ve also had the draw for the semi-finals of the competition:

• Chelsea v Birmingham/Manchester City

• Liverpool v Brighton

Right. that’s me away, and now Rob Smyth is back in the chair.

Billy Munday was at Portman Road to see Ipswich take a vital step towards automatic promotion, though not without some luck.

The Championship table ahead of Swansea v Middlesbrough, with Coventry playing later still at Hull.

Result: Watford 1-1 Charlton. That game dragged into the 106 minutes but the Addicks held on for an important point.

Top stories: The Lincoln celebrations are in full effect at Reading. Roy Hodgson got another win as Bristol City; what a difference 44 years makes. Louie Barry’s sending off for Stockport in their 2-2 draw with Bolton happened with two quick yellows.

Result: Ipswich 2-1 Birmingham, which puts Kieran McKenna’s team into the top two, though controversy reigns over an equaliser that never was for Brum.

Result: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Leicester. The 2016 champions remain in the bottom three of the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Leicester: Pierce Charles the hero once more as Ayew has another effort on goal. Leicester remain in the bottom three.

League One: Reading equalise against Lincoln through Lewis Wing, but Lincoln are still going up. It was a belter of a free-kick, the first shot on target for Reading makes it' 1-1.

Ipswich 2-1 Birmingham: Ipswich look to kill this one off, but it’s getting nervy at Portman Road. Walton makes a fine save, and Greaves makes a fine block as the pressure comes down.

That Thierry Small OG is an all-timer, trust me on this.

League One’s battle between Bolton and Stockport is at 2-2, after an own-goal from Ben Osborn.

Ipswich 2-1 Birmingham: Brum have the ball in the net, and it’s come off Dara O’Shea. The ball is called out of play but that looks a doubtful call. Chris Davies, the Blues manager, is incandescent.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Leicester: Wednesday are clinging on to their hopes of winning for the first time in 35 matches. Their goalkeeper, Pierce Charles, has been outstanding.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Leicester: The Owls go close, Palmer missing the chance to lay up better placed colleagues. That would have been so bad for Leicester.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Leicester: Daka misses a chance, and though that would have been ruled out for offside, the Leicester desperation keeps growing.

Huge game in League One took another turn, as Stockport go into the lead at Bolton, and at 2-1 that will shake up the promotion picture.

Two quickfire goals at London Road in League One where Cardiff just scored through Alex Robertson before Harry Leonard equalised. It’s 1-1.

Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Leicester: All Leicester dominance in South Yorkshire but nothing doing on the goal front. Desperate scenes. Ten years gone, the Premier League title. Oliver Skipp has just had a shot saved from Owls keeper Pierce Charles.

Jeremy Boyce gets in touch: “Reading the Ipswich team sheet for today is like a journey back in time. (Mark) Walton, (Paul) Furlong, (John) O’Shea, (Jimmy) Greaves, (Andy) Johnson, (Terry) Neil, (Jason) McAteer, (Darwin) Nunez, (Allan) Clarke, (George) Hirst. Can’t think of another Matusiwa.... And they’re almost all in their correct positions. Will they be wearing retro kit and will McKenna be in a Bobby Robson suit?”

The owners will be drinking Suffolk punch in the boardroom like the Cobbold family. (yes, I know it’s a horse.)

90 min Desperation for Tottenham as Chelsea play the ball around at the back. But suddenly Spurs get a chance, with Tandberg offered chance to shoot, and missing the target. They have three minutes to save this, and it’s ticking down fast.

Lincoln have just had a second disallowed. It’s Ryan One again, but he’s ruled offside.

Goal! Reading 0-1 Lincoln (Ryan One, 5)

That’s a beautiful free-kick; Lincoln are all but assured of promotion, and want to go up on a win.

Thanks, Rob. Some huge goals to begin with.

Time for me to hand back to John Brewin for a little while. See you later!

72 min: Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham Still all square at Kingsmeadow, where Chelsea have just brought on Sandy Baltimore and Wieke Kaptein for Sjoeke Nusken and Lauren James.

64 min: Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham A great chance for Chelsea, with Nusken’s cross headed wide from six yards by the stooping Carpenter.

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.

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

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.

90 min: Portsmouth 2-2 Oxford Five minutes of added time at Fratton Park. A winner for either side would be positively Brobdingnagian.

Referee Simon Mather (Manchester)

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.

GOAL! Portsmouth 1-2 Oxford (Lankshear 81) A big goal at Fratton Park. Will Lankshear, on loan from Spurs has put Oxford ahead with a flying far-post header. That goal would move Oxford out of the relegation places and above Portsmouth.

GOAL! Millwall 1-0 Norwich (Ivanovic 56) The substitute Milan Ivanovic has put Millwall in front!

31 min: Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Spurs almost take the lead out of nothing, but Niamh Charles makes a superb block to deny her former teammate Bethany England.

30 min: Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Chelsea have dominated the first half hour – 66% possession, five attempts at goal to none – but Lize Kop has only had that one save to make from James’ cross.

66 min: Portsmouth 1-1 Oxford There’s fury at Fratton Park when the referee declines to show a second yellow card to Brodie Spencer for a foul. It looked fair enough to me – the Portsmouth player cut across Spencer, so although it was a free-kick it wasn’t necessaily worthy of a second yellow card.

Moments later, Marlon Pack is booked for flattening Spencer. Pompey’s players rage about that too.

Serie A result: Udinese 0-0 Como In the early game, fourth-placed Como were held to a goalless draw by mid-table Udinese. That’s good news for Juventus, who can close the gap to a point if they win at home to Genoa later today. Despite a miserable Champions League campaign for Serie A’s finest, the top four will qualify for next season’s competition.

18 min: Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Lauren James has a shot well blocked by Amanda Nilden. Names, unsurprisingly, looks the likeliest source of a goal at the moment.

Half time: Millwall 0-0 Norwich

“Yes,” says Jeremy Boyce, “in-form Norwich seem to playing well against...er...in-form Millwall, currently occupying an automatc promotion spot. No surprise to see the Canaries doing well, despite Delia Smith no longer being on the board they have clearly got their recipe right.

“The key ingredient was making their managerial switch early (they were in the relegation zone), then choosing the correct replacement. Philippe Clement has done a more than solid job, elevating them from relegation certainties to playoff fringes/top half of the table. You’ve got to expect the Lions will find a way to win, unless their nerve starts to fail them now the weight of expectation is on. I went to the Old Den once. Once was enough.”

53 min: Portsmouth 1-1 Oxford

This is the bottom of the Championship table as things stand. Or, to put it another way, there’s a big 40 minutes coming up at Fratton Park.

11 min: Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham In the Women’s FA Cup quarter-final at Kingsmeadow, a cross from Lauren James almost sneaks into the far corner of the net. Lize Kop dives to her right to push it behind.

GOAL! Portsmouth 1-1 Oxford (Spencer 48) Nicolas Schmid doesn’t deal with Will Lankshear’s long-range shot and Brodie Spencer follows up to score a vital equaliser for Oxford, his first goal for the club.

In Germany, coaches used to say: “Follow your opponent right into the loo!” That was the call to man-mark. So defenders weren’t meant to think too deeply. This retro tactical approach has been making an unexpected comeback since Atalanta won the Europa League in 2024 using this method.

Against a team with a significantly superior individual quality, you naturally don’t stand a chance with man-marking. Atalanta had to learn that the hard way in the Champions League last 16. Bayern enjoyed absurdly vast spaces and scored 10 goals. Rarely has a knockout-stage match been so one-sided.

I hope that the right conclusions are drawn from this in Germany, because I’m now seeing man-marking more frequently in the Bundesliga again. Yet it can only be a short-term measure if you want to surprise the opponent and put them under pressure, as in handball just before the final whistle. It is not,

36 min: Millwall 0-0 Norwich The away side are playing really well at the Den and could easily be in front. They are ninth in the table but their recent form is as good as anybody in the Championship.

23 min: Millwall 0-0 Norwich No goals and few chances at the Den, where promotion-chasing Millwall are taking on an in-form Norwich side.

When the time comes for our most joyous expression – one for which many of us are still waiting – we can only take out the Tardelli, its acme, epitome, zenith, pinnacle, quintessence, apex, apogee and apotheosis. No one has experienced or communicated the feeling at greater intensity, the ecstasy of 56.7 million Italians and centuries of history channelled through one man, and to conclude this piece in any other way would be improper, for it is joy incarnate.

Half time: Portsmouth 1-0 Oxford

Loud boos at half-time, presumably because of the decision to give Connor Ogilvie a straight red card. Portsmouth are a man down but a goal up thanks to a fine goal from Keshi Anderson.

The new Football Weekly has dropped. Get your headphones out.

Red card: Portsmouth 1-0 Oxford (Ogilvie) Portsmouth are a goal up and a man down: Connor Ogilvie has received a straight red card for a tackle on Stanley Mills.

GOAL! Portsmouth 1-0 Oxford (Anderson 9) Keshi Anderson, 31 today and starting his first game for Pompey, has given them an early lead in the big relegation battle at Fratton Park. It was a neatly taken goal: a dummy to lose the defender and an early shot through the hand of the diving Jamie Cumming.

Italy were too afraid to play a World Cup qualifying playoff at San Siro, hosting their semi-final against Northern Ireland in Bergamo instead. Gennaro Gattuso explained it as a choice to protect his players, noting that the nation’s biggest football stadium was home to two rival clubs – Milan and Internazionale – and suggesting this dynamic might lead fans there to turn more quickly on players who struggled.

Instead, on Sunday, it was San Siro that offered comfort to one who has become the scapegoat for yet another collective failure. Italy made it past Northern Ireland only to lose to Bosnia on penalties in Zenica. Alessandro Bastoni’s first-half red card, at a time when his country were winning 1-0, was a pivotal moment in the game and perhaps his entire career.

Referee Sam Allison (Somerset)

Thanks John, afternoon everyone. I’ll start with a very modern story from Spain.

La Liga on Monday condemned threats and intimidation by Sevilla fans aimed at their own players and directors after they fell to a third straight league defeat.

Sevilla, 17th in the Spanish top flight, lost 1-0 away at bottom side Real Oviedo on Sunday and some supporters met the team at the airport on their return to insult them, while others wearing masks were at the club training ground.

La Liga said in a statement this behaviour “unacceptably crosses the line of legitimate criticism and sporting expression”.

Earlier this season, some Sevilla fans tried to force their way into the training ground to remonstrate with the players.

La Liga said they would report the incident to Spanish authorities and continue to take action in the future against similar incidents.

“Anyone who crosses the line from criticism into threats, intimidation, or harassment stops acting as a fan and starts acting as a violent individual,” added La Liga. “And against violent individuals, La Liga acts and will act.”

Sevilla, winless in five matches, are two points above the relegation zone with eight games remaining in the season.

Right, here’s Rob Smyth to take up the cudgels for the next stint. Back later.
