Manchester City head to the London Stadium this afternoon knowing victory over West Ham United will put them on the precipice of the Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola’s side are three points clear of Liverpool with just two games remaining after Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals against Wolves on Wednesday. Their mission is simple: get four points from their final two league games and they will be crowned champions.

West Ham are still reeling from their heartbreaking defeat in the Europa League semi-finals but the Hammers did recover with a thumping win over Norwich last weekend - a first victory in five Premier League matches.

David Moyes’s side still have plenty to play as they look to get back into Europe next term, with just three points separating them from sixth-placed Manchester United, who travel to Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.

Follow all the action from a crucial clash at the London Stadium below after the conclusion of Tottenham vs Burnley:

Everton 2-3 Brentford

86 mins: The crowd have roused themselves for one final push! Gray tries to pull the ball back for Richarlison on the edge of the area but Jansson slides in to clear.

Brentford have suddenly decided to sit very deep for these last few minutes. The introduction of Rondon does mean Everton can go more direct now.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

84 mins: Gray sends a good-looking ball into the middle which narrowly evades Richarlison. Everton just don’t have enough bodies in the box and Brentford are finding it easy to mark Richarlison.

CLOSE! Brentford break at the other end and Eriksen finds acres of space on the edge of the penalty area. He goes for goal and the ball whistles just wide of the post!

SUB! Salomon Rondon is on for Seamus Coleman. Last roll of the dice from Frank Lampard.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

81 mins: As it stands, Everton will be one point above Leeds and two points above Burnley with two games remaining.

Burnley face Aston Villa at Turf Moor on Thursday, while Everton host Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Leeds only have one game remaining.

But a defeat for Everton today undoubtedly still leaves them right in the fight.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

79 mins: Henry and Mbeumo link up beautifully down the left before Mbeumo’s cross is cleared behind for a corner. But the visitors are forced to go all the way back to Raya from the corner and Everton can momentarily breathe.

Chance for Everton! Richarlison wins the hosts a free-kick and as it’s swung in Doucoure meets it at the back post and Raya has to flick it behind.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

77 mins: Everton commit bodies upfield and Brentford break. Dasilva charges through the middle of the park and lays it off for Mbeumo who blazes his effort well over the bar.

SUB! Wissa is replaced by Mads Roerslev for Brentford. Some fresh legs to get them over the line.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

75 mins: Successful passes in the second half: 190 vs 20 in favour of the visitors. That tells you all you need to know really.

Brentford are in complete control with the extra goal and extra man. Groans are beginning to ring out around Goodison Park. Pickford angers his own fans by just thumping the ball aimlessly downfield.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

72 mins: Richarlison does superbly to earn his side a corner. It’s swung in and Calvert-Lewin leaps like a salmon to meet it but the set-piece had swung out of play before coming back in.

SUB! Demarai Gray and Jonjoe Kenny replace Anthony Gordon and Andre Gomes.

Dylan Terry15 May 2022 18:04

Everton 2-3 Brentford

70 mins: Everton are chasing the game now and leaving huge spaces for Brentford to counter into.

Dasilva tries to curl one into Pickford’s far post and when the ball deflects to Henry he miscues his effort and the Everton keeper can comfortably collect.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

Here is the moment the turnaround was completed at Goodison Park.

Everton 2-3 Brentford

67 mins: Do Everton have anything left? They have looked completely bereft of energy or fight in this second half. Yes, they are down to 10 men, but it’s been so easy for Brentford.

You can only really see this match going one way now and that’s the visitors scoring more goals.
