Key events

Ashen emails: “United didn’t really wear their third shirt, green ones, after the World Cup, ip until today that is.

“Does anybody know why? I just feel it’s kinda weird. Aren’t big clubs suckers for merchandise sales?”

Good old capitalism.

What a day it was at Edgeley Park!

Half time! Carlisle 1-0 Bradford (agg 1-1): Plenty to play for in the League Two play-off semi-final second leg.

Liverpool 0-1 Aston Villa: A VAR check after Mings’ very high challenge on Gakpo but they decide against handing out a red card.

Wolves 1-0 Everton: Calvert-Lewin is injured and looks set to come off. He was withdrawn last weekend at half time against City as a precaution and it looks like his season is done.

Simon Burnton was at Tottenham v Brentford. Here is his report …

Liverpool 0-1 Aston Villa: Luiz pings a ball to the back post, Ramsey collects and forces Alisson into a fine save.

Wolves 1-0 Everton: Sometimes football tactics are quite simple. Lopetegui has moved Adama Traore to the left to just run at Michael Keane. It might just work.

Wolves 1-0 Everton: After a fine start to the match, Everton are really struggling to compete with the hosts at the moment.

They sure would.

@Will_Unwin In re: Richard Hirst’s comment, I’m sure this must have been mentioned before but if Fulham do secure a position above Chelsea, it will be the first tim in League history that both they and Brentford have finished above the Blues.

Wolves 0-0 Everton: Mina heads over from close range. Everton are playing well but the bad news is Michael Keane has come on for Nathan Patterson.

Who comes in, Jeff?

GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Aston Villa (Ramsey, 27)
