David Hytner has filed his match report, so that’s my cue to say goodnight. The MBM will be back at lunchtime on Saturday, for Palace v Man City, and the football live blog will be here tomorrow to bring you all the news from the managers’ press conferences. Thanks for your company, emails and patience as I struggled to keep up with a game that was more like a soap opera.

In other news, Liverpool beat Sheffield United. It was 1-1 at 75 minutes, but then Alexis Mac Allister scored with a screamer and Cody Gakpo added a third. So Liverpool return to the top with 70 points. Arsenal have 68, Man City 67, and all three have eight games left.

Man United are 19 points behind City. The only impact they can have on the title race is if they take points off Liverpool on Sunday, or Arsenal in May.
