C'ship wrap: Kelly strike pauses Burnley celebrations
Georgie Kelly's fired home a late equaliser as Burnley's Championship title celebrations were paused as the leaders were held to a 2-2 draw at Rotherham.Sheffield United's 1-0 win over Bristol City meant the Clarets could not wrap up the silverware this evening. Burnley needed to better the Blades' result to seal top spot but their celebrations were delayed on Tuesday. Scott Twine gave the visitors - already promoted to the Premier League - a first-half lead at Rotherham but Vitinho's own goal levelled it. Manuel Benson's strike with nine minutes left looked like giving Vincent Kompany's side the victory until the Millers struck four minutes later when ex-Bohemians striker Kelly equalised from close range to keep Burnley's title celebrations on ice. James McAtee gave the second-placed Blades a 1-0 win over the Robins to leave Paul Heckingbottom's side 10 points behind Burnley with four games remaining. They are eight points ahead of third-placed Luton, who go to Reading on Wednesday.
'The club will be back' - Frank Lampard adamant Chelsea will rise again
Frank Lampard promised that Chelsea will be back after Real Madrid effectively ended a dismal season for his side with a 2-0 win to eliminate them from the Champions League. Lampard's team fell to two goals from Real forward Rodrygo to exit the tournament at the quarter-final stage, thus relinquishing their last faint hopes of qualifying again next year. Chelsea, in 11th place in the Premier League, face the prospect of a first season without European competition since 2016/17, and against Real over two legs looked a shadow of the team that were crowned European champions less than two years ago. Chelsea threatened either side of half-time with glorious chances for Marc Cucurella, who saw his close-range effort from Reece James' cross beaten away by Thibaut Courtois, and N'Golo Kante whose shot was blocked by Eder Militao. Those opportunities could potentially have turned momentum and the tie in Chelsea's favour, but across the game Lampard's team did not show enough cohesion in their attacks nor discipline in defence to match the European champions and threaten their reign.
