It was another action-packed weekend in English soccer, with major storylines unfolding across both the Premier League and the FA Cup. From Liverpool's historic title triumph to Crystal Palace’s dream run to Wembley, here are the key talking points.

Liverpool were the headline act as they secured their record-equalling 20th English league title with a commanding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Despite falling behind early to a goal from Dominic Solanke, the Reds responded in devastating fashion. Luis Díaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah all found the net, along with an own goal by Destiny Udogie. Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool lifted their first Premier League trophy celebrated with fans since 1990, with Slot becoming the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League in his debut season.

In the FA Cup, Manchester City booked their place in a third consecutive final by defeating Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Wembley. Rico Lewis struck early after a fine run from Mateo Kovačić, and Joško Gvardiol added a second after the break. Despite Nottingham Forest hitting the woodwork three times, City's professionalism saw them through. Pep Guardiola's side will now face Crystal Palace in the final on May 17.

Crystal Palace themselves produced one of the performances of the weekend, overpowering Aston Villa 3-0 in their semi-final. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring, with Ismaïla Sarr netting twice to seal a historic result. Under Oliver Glasner, Palace will return to the FA Cup final for the first time since 2016, aiming to win their first major trophy in club history.

Meanwhile, the Premier League’s relegation picture became clearer. Ipswich Town’s 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United confirmed their relegation, joining Leicester City and Southampton in the drop. For the first time in Premier League history, all three promoted sides were relegated with more than four games to spare, a grim milestone for the clubs involved.

The race for European spots also intensified. Newcastle’s win over Ipswich propelled them into third place, strengthening their Champions League hopes. Chelsea kept their European ambitions alive with a 1-0 victory over Everton, while Wolverhampton Wanderers extended their winning streak to six games, keeping pressure on the teams above them.

With the season now entering its final weeks, there is still plenty to play for across the Premier League and FA Cup. Titles have been secured and dreams realized but battles for European places, survival, and silverware ensure the drama is far from over.
