Amad Diallo spares United humiliation (and Brighton win for the first time in ages)
With eight minutes to go at Old Trafford, the question of Manchester United’s relegation was pertinent and appropriate. They were losing to a broken team with just six points on the board. And then Amad Diallo, again, saved United. Laurie Whitwell tries to make sense of an extraordinary night.
Elsewhere, Brighton won a league game for the first time since November 23, Ipswich don’t look good though. We’ve got some Spurs reaction from Jack Pitt Brooke, we’ve got Seb Stafford Bloor on a highly prized young talent in Germany and we’ve got Manchester City news from David Ornstein

Arsenal edge past Spurs (and Moyes’ return ends in defeat)
Arsenal shook off their fears and just about edged their way past Spurs at The Emirates. Amy Lawrence was there to watch it all and pass comment, Jay Harris was there to quite rightly defend the honour of Spurs’ keeper Antonin Kinsky.
There was no dream return for David Moyes at Everton, his side were beaten at home by Aston Villa and, goodness me, he has a lot of work to do.
George Caulkin saw Newcastle win AGAIN and Alexander Isak score AGAIN, twice in fact. But can they keep him? Isak, not George?
And we’ve got all the other big results from around Europe too.

Liverpool held by Forest (and will Man City ever be good again?)
What a fantastic night of football for everyone apart from the people trying to put out a compact, results heavy, ten minute football podcast by 10.30pm. Liverpool (and Leicester fans) were given a real scare by Nottingham Forest, but they worked their socks off to come back and save a point. Chelsea saved a point at home to Bournemouth, Man City lost two at Brentford and Graham Potter’s West Ham won 3-2 with four shots and I don’t think Marco Silva will ever speak to him again.
Plus we’ve got all the other big scores from around Europe, so dig in and have a listen.

With: James Pearce, Sam Lee, Liam Twomey, Roshane Thomas and Seb Stafford Bloor.

Arsenal inquest begins (and we look ahead to Forest vs Liverpool)
They’re all very down in the dumps at Arsenal. A surprisingly high number of fans seem to have lost faith in Mikel Arteta. That seems a bit dramatic, doesn’t it? We check in on Amy Lawrence and Ian Stone
Are Nottingham Forest title contenders? Matt Davies Adams certainly thinks so and our Liverpool correspondent James Pearce thinks the league leaders are in for a really tough game.
Plus, we preview all of Tuesday’s big games around Europe.
