Leverkusen’s hopes of a 2nd consecutive Bundesliga title fade with draw at St. Pauli

AUGSBURG, Germany: Bayer Leverkusen’s hopes of a second consecutive Bundesliga title faded with a 1-1 draw at St. Pauli on Sunday. Patrik Schick put Leverkusen ahead in the first half but Carlo Boukhalfa equalized in the 78th to leave the defending champion eight points behind Bayern Munich with four rounds remaining. Bayern, which beat Heidenheim 4-0 on Saturday, could clinch the title on Saturday if it beats Mainz and Leverkusen loses to Augsberg. Last season, Leverkusen completed an unprecedented unbeaten Bundesliga season for its first Germany league title — and also went unbeaten to lift the German Cup. Dortmund wins after Champions League elimination Borussia Dortmund beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-2 in Dortmund’s first game since its Champions League elimination.

Felix Nmecha made it 2-1 off a cross from Yan Couto soon after.

Leicester relegated from the Premier League as Liverpool close in on title

LEICESTER: Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League as Liverpool moved to within one win of the title on Sunday with a 1-0 victory at the King Power. Trent Alexander-Arnold came off the bench to score the only goal 14 minutes from time as the Reds moved to the brink of a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title. Liverpool could be crowned champions on Wednesday should Arsenal lose at home to Crystal Palace. If the Gunners avoid defeat, Arne Slot’s men have the chance to seal the deal when Tottenham visit Anfield next Sunday. Leicester have not scored a single goal at home since December as nine consecutive defeats at the King Power have taken Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men down. Alexander-Arnold appears to be coming toward the end of his time at his boyhood club. The England international is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season. Unlike Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have signed new deals in recent weeks to prolong their stay at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold has just weeks to run on his current deal. “I’ve said all season, I’m not going to speak on my situation,” Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports. “But these days like today are always special. “Scoring goals, playing, winning games, being close to winning titles as well as being in title races.
