Winners and Losers from the weekend: Arsenal’s FA Cup joy, while Juventus win Serie A

The win at Silverstone makes it three wins in four for Hamilton this season and 87 Grand Prix wins in total as he closes in on Michael Schumacher’s record of 91. Hamilton is now 30 points ahead of Mercedes teammate Valterri Bottas in the Drivers Standings with the Mercedes car looking unbeatable at present.

Hamilton can be backed at 1/20 to win the 2020 Drivers Championship.

Juventus

They may have sealed the title when winning 2-0 against Sampdoria several weeks ago but Juventus will be pleased to bring the season to a close with their ninth successive Serie A win. Now they can aim to extend their historic run to ten titles in a row.

Juventus understandably took their foot off the pedal in recent weeks, as their attention turned to the upcoming Champions League quarter-final tie with Lyon, as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg. Juventus are currently 8/11 to progress to the semi-finals and 16/1 to win the competition.

However, losing 3-1 to Roma on the final day of the season does leave a slightly sour taste in the mouth – with their first loss at home in just over two years.

Justin Thomas

The American golfer claimed victory in the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, after starting Sunday in fifth. He now has 13 PGA Tour victories to his name and goes into the PGA Championship as world no. 1, winning titles at a pace only matched in history by Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Thomas is 9/1 to win at the TPC Harding Park, making him joint-favourite with Brooks Koepka.

Celtic

Their attempt to win 10 Scottish titles in a row got off to the perfect start with a 5-1 victory over Hamilton on Sunday, with Odsonne Edouard’s hat-trick giving them every hope that this will be another winning year.

Celtic are currently 2/5 to win the Scottish Premiership this season.

Losers

Chelsea

While this was always going to be a transitional season for Chelsea and not one without positives, the FA Cup looks like an opportunity missed for Frank Lampard’s team, undone by familiar problems at the back and a lack of bite in midfield.

While Kepa has deservedly drawn the eye for the wrong reasons and is to blame for some of Chelsea’s problems at the back, Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger were culpable on Saturday, with rash challenges that handed Arsenal the impetus, firstly with Azpilicueta’s over-aggressive challenge that gave Arsenal a penalty, followed by Rudiger’s misjudged attempt to block off Hector Bellerin that left his defensive partners overly exposed.

In truth had Christian Pulisic remained on the pitch, it could have been a different story, after scoring one and going close even after receiving the hamstring injury that ultimately ended his game. With Pulisic and Timo Werner up top next season, there’s little doubt Chelsea will be an attacking threat, but it’s the other end of the pitch where most of their problems lie.

Their next challenge sees them attempt to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Bayern Munich in the Champions League (including three away goals). They’re 25/1 to do so and qualify for the next round, or 200/1 to win the competition.

Lecce

The Italian league’s perennial yo-yo club find themselves back in the second tier, after losing 3-4 to Parma on Sunday, as Genoa triumphed over Verona.

Lecce’s desperate attempt to stay in Serie A after being promoted in consecutive seasons saw a string of high-scoring games, with 26 goals in their final six fixtures, including wins over Udinese and Brescia.

Ultimately it wasn’t to be, though Lecce will be hopeful that it won’t take another seven years to return to the top-flight.

Cardiff City and Swansea City

The Welsh sides can take the small consolation of not having to see their rivals promoted, as both were defeated in their respective play-off semi-finals, with Brentford beating Swansea 3-1 on aggregate with Fulham victorious over Cardiff with the same scoreline.  The Bees are 11/10 favourites for Tuesday’s play-off final at Wembley.
