The result means Manchester City have a one-point lead heading into Sunday's final round of fixtures.

They're due to play Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa, while Liverpool host Wolves.

Nottingham Forest are one game away from a return to the Premier League.

They beat Sheffield United on penalties last night to qualify for the English Championship play-off final against Huddersfield Town.

The tie finished 3-3 on aggregate after the visitors won 2-1 at the City Ground.

But Forest progressed following a 3-2 victory in the shootout, with Brice Samba saving three efforts.

Republic of Ireland international Conor Hourihane failed to convert the Blades' second spot-kick.

GOLF

Tiger Woods says Phil Mickelson's absence from this week's US PGA Championship is "disappointing".

The defending champion is not in the field at Southern Hills, as he continues his break from the game.

Mickelson hasn't appeared on tour since his controversial comments about the Saudi Golf League in February.

Woods has been drawn to play alongside Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth for the opening two rounds in Tulsa.
