season at the top and bottom of the table, with everything coming down to this, the final day. different fans, different emotions. chelsea know a win will see them crowned champions. in contrast, an unlikely victory for reading may not even be enough to keep them up. with silverware in their site, chelsea were not messing around. the lethal combination of sam kerr and guro reiten struck in the first blow. when it striking for survival, you need to be perfect. reading were everything but for the next goal and when the third one went and it was all over. reading relegated from the top flight, watching on as a chelsea claimed a fourth consecutive title and a league and fa cup double. the club was like a dominance in women's football at least unquestionable. it is like having a lemon we squeezed everything out of and we have to try and keep getting a little more out and keep getting a little more out and we find those margins, but that is because of the staff in the background, the work everyone is doing to try and keep us at the

6:37 pm
a comprehensive victory at celtic park — third—placed aberdeen were outclassed. celebrations for ange postecoglou and his squad as celtic raised the premiership trophy. they will make complete a treble if they win the scottish cup final next saturday. all the other positions in the top half were already decided. rangers were the other winners today, 3—0 at st mirren. there was a dramatic climax in the bundesliga as bayern munich won an eleventh title in a row. it could have been very different though as borussia dortmund blew their big chance to take the trophy. starting the day top and knowing a win at home to mainz would do, they went two goals down and missed a penalty in the first half. and while they tried to get back into that, bayern were already ahead in cologne through kingsley coman. only a win would do for the defending champions and that looked doubtful when the home side equalised through a penalty with ten minutes of normal time remaining. that would have handed
6:38 pm
the title back to dortmund, who ended their game at 2—2, but bayern went ahead again through substitute jamal musiala and that won the game and the championship for that record extending eleventh time. so this is how the bundesliga finished. borussia dortmund falling agonisingly short of bayern. they'll go into the champions league along with rb leipzig and union berlin, who qualify for the first time in their history. freiburg go into the europa league and bayer leverkusen into the conference league. on cycling... we will update you on the play—off final. it is still ongoing, one goal apiece between coventry and luton but we will be there at full—time. primoz roglic has all but won the giro d'italia — he's overtaken geraint thomas in the overall standings by winning

statement. at half—time they said we are able to report that after collapsing on the pitch, tom has been taken to hospital for further tests will stop he is responsive and talking to his family who are with him. he adds, we are all that with you. concerns for him but the game still going on behind me. good you. concerns for him but the game still going on behind me.— still going on behind me. good to hear he is responsive _ still going on behind me. good to hear he is responsive in _ still going on behind me. good to hear he is responsive in hospital. | hear he is responsive in hospital. you can follow any updates on the bbc sport website for any updates on that. in terms of the action still to come, just remind us how much it will mean it to each of these teams to make it to the premier league. yes, these are two teams metjust five years ago in league two, the fourth tier of ink and not long ago luton town were a non—league club and came up from the first tier and kept rising since then. it would be really extraordinary if they were to take this next leap to the premier league and not least because that stadium would be the smallest ever
6:56 pm
ground in the premier league. coventry have had their stadium issues as well, in the 22 years since they were relegated from the top flight, they have got all the way to league 2, they have been kicked out of their home ground on several occasions, they have had to play in northampton, birmingham, burton. they are now finally back home in the city, and should they be able to take this last step up to the premier league, it would cap an extra ordinaryjourney for them too. great stuff, thank you so much. the teams have just kicked off in that period of extra time. remember, they are a goal apiece at wembley. we will have the result for you in sportsday at 7:30pm. thank you for watching this one. we will see you again soon, goodbye. good evening. the card and
