Post-match reports and analysis from across Europe's top leagues.
ETT
NAJAl Ettifaq and Al Najma played out a flat 0-0 draw in the Saudi Pro League, a result that does very little for either side as the season enters its final stretch.
ALM
MIRAlmería signed off their La Liga 2 season with a convincing 4-2 home win over Mirandés, a result that flattered neither side's underlying position in the table but at least gave the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos something to cheer about on the final day.
Sevilla
Real SociedadSevilla picked up a narrow but important 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad at home, a result that does the job at a congested stage of the La Liga season. Real Sociedad, who our model had fancied at 42% probability, left empty-handed.
Everton
Manchester CityManchester City came to Goodison Park sitting five points clear at the top of the Premier League and left with a draw that hands the chasing pack genuine hope. The underlying structure of this result deserves more scrutiny than a headline scoreline tends to invite.
Strasbourg
Rayo VallecanoRayo Vallecano claimed a composed 1-0 victory away at Strasbourg in the UEFA Europa Conference League, with the result validating what the underlying tournament data had been suggesting about the Spanish side all along.
SC Freiburg
SBRSC Freiburg overcame Sporting Braga 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League, producing a controlled performance that ended Braga's hopes and left the model's away win signal firmly in the red.
Aston Villa
Nottingham ForestAston Villa edged out Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League, a tight and tense affair that saw the pre-match signals for goals and BTTS fall flat as both defences stood firm on a massive European night.
SCP
VDGSporting CP moved to 85 points at the top of Liga Portugal with a commanding 5-1 win over Vitória Guimarães, a result that confirmed the gap between the division's best team and the rest is not closing. The interesting thing is not the scoreline itself but what it tells us about the underlying structure of this Sporting side.
ERC
IACCInstituto made it a miserable night for Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, running out comfortable 2-0 winners in the Argentine Liga Profesional. A result that tells its own story.
FAM
SLBFamalicão, sitting fifth in Liga Portugal with 39 goals scored, hosted Benfica in a match that produced four goals across a frantic contest.
