Scottish Premiership: Hearts lead Aberdeen thanks to a strike from Claudio Braga. They need a win here to keep their lead at the top of the table.
Liverpool 2-0 West Ham: That Van Dijk goal was a sucker punch for West Ham, who had been growing in confidence following the opener in the first five minutes.
GOAL! Burnley 0-2 Brentford (Igor Thiago, 25)
Thiago makes it two for the visitors after receiving a pass from Damsgaard and slotting the ball past Dúbravka!
That’s his 18th goal of the season.

The forward receives a pass from Gravenberch in the box, takes a touch and beats Hermansen at the near post.

Scottish Premiership: It’s far from an ideal start for Kilmarnock as Ethan Brown puts the ball into his own net within the opening minute. Falkirk lead.
Kick-off
We’re under way across the grounds!
John Brewin was at the Vitality Stadium this afternoon as the points were shared between Bournemouth and Sunderland.
Former NFL star JJ Watt is at Turf Moor this afternoon to watch Burnley take on Brentford. Watt is a minority investor at Burnley.
In case you missed it, Sheffield Wednesday were relegated to League One last weekend. The Owls were sent down by their biggest rivals, Sheffield United, following a 2-1 loss at Bramall Lane. They suffered another defeat on Wednesday against Norwich City, leaving them on minus seven points. Henrik Pedersen and Co will be determined to get some more points on the board as we enter the final part of the season, with the aim of not becoming the first team in Championship history to end a campaign on a negative total of points.
Sheffield Wednesday host Southampton this afternoon.
Barney Ronay
“Hearts finished 40 points behind Celtic last year. The great clanking hand of Tony Bloom and his big data hive-brain robots has been on site for only eight months. The word “disruption” is usually shorthand for tech bro types in $4,000 Japanese trainers working out new ways to fire people. This is actual, good disruption. A three-way title race isn’t just deeply un-Scotland, it’s deeply un-anywhere these days…”
