SOCCER
West Ham gave their Premier League survival hopes a major boost last night, while denting the Champions League ambitions of Chelsea.
Andriy Yarmolenko’s last minute strike gave David Moyes’ side a 3-2 win over Chelsea at the London Stadium.
Goals from Tomas Soucek (Soo-check) and Michail Antonio had previously seen the Hammers lead, with Willian scoring twice for Chelsea.
That result sees West Ham climb up to 16th, three points clear of the relegation zone.
Chelsea remain fourth in the table, after their first defeat since football's resumption.
There is now scrap emerging for Champions League football, with just three points separating third from sixth.
That's after Leicester were beaten 2-1 against Everton.
They're now winless in four games since the restart, but remain in third.
Norwich are six points from safety with six games to play after a 4-nil loss at Arsenal.
While Bournemouth are second-from-bottom after a 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle.

The players' accociation have also written to county boards, saying rules around inter-county training are "clear and unambiguous".
However they have called for their members to be insured in the event of any unauthorised sessions, and have asked for players to be released to their counties once their club championship commitments have been completed.
