Arsenal's hopes of a top-four finish are all but over after their 1-1 draw against Brighton at the Emirates on Sunday.

While Unai Emery's could still equal Tottenham's points tally of 70 on the final day with a victory at Burnley and defeat for their north London rivals at home to Everton, they would still require an eight-goal swing, which is highly unlikely.

Brighton came into this match on a high after Cardiff's defeat at home to Crystal Palace ensured they would remain in the Premier League and were able to play without pressure.

However, they were behind on nine minutes thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty after Brighton's Alireza Jahanbakhsh had fouled Nacho Monreal.

But, Arsenal failed to add a second and conceded a penalty of their own 61 minutes when Granit Xhaka brought down Solly March -- and Glenn Murray made no mistake from 12 yards.

The home side piled on the pressure after Brighton's equaliser and Aubameyang in particular was guilty of a shocking miss -- while Brighton's Pascal Gross blazed over when it appeared easier to score.

Arsenal still have the chance to play Champions League football next season, as success in the Europa League would mean a place in Europe's premier competition.

Brighton stay 17th, but will be playing Premier League football for a third consecutive campaign.

Hampshire 221 for 3 (Donald 57, Markram 61, Northeast 51*) beat Somerset 216 (Bartlett 40, Abbott 3-36) by seven wickets

Hampshire trounced Somerset by seven wickets with 18.3 overs to spare at Taunton to confirm themselves as South Group winners and a place in the semi-finals.

The absence of James Vince and Aiden Markram to international duties could weaken them in the knockout stages, but Hampshire might just have found an answer in the form of Aneurin Donald. Given his head as an explosive player at the top of the order while Vince was already donning an England shirt in Dublin and Cardiff, Donald has worked out rather well.

He followed up his 41 against Sussex at the Ageas Bowl on Thursday with 57 from 53 balls in front of an excellent crowd at Taunton. That Somerset had little chance of defending their 216 on a used but reliable surface became apparent as early as the fifth over when he took successive sixes off Josh Davey, the second of them a wristy affair over midwicket which told of his potential. A third followed late in his innings when he deposited Roelof van der Merwe into the Sir Ian Botham stand before falling later that over by skying to mid off.

Once a youthful carrier of Glamorgan hopes, Donald switched to Hampshire late last season with the aim of furthering his ambition to become the first Wales-born player to represent England since Simon Jones in 2005. He said he thought his game was stagnating, and he got out just in time before somebody write a song about him: you don't have to show much promise in Glamorgan for the rhapsodies to begin.

Those England aspirations remain a long way off as a record of only one half-century in 27 List A appearances indicated, but there is certainly something about him. He believes that he is ideally suited to the role of top-of-the-order dasher and Hampshire might have made a shrewd - if enforced - call by giving him a run. The recent call-up of Sussex's free-spirited opener Phillip Salt into England's T20 squad has provided further proof that reputations in such a role can be made an instant.

"It's nice to be up there having a bit of a hit," he said. "It can be a pretty tough time down at No 7. Hopefully I can fill a hole at the top of the order. It's something I've always wanted to do. I think my game suits it.

"I knew what I was getting myself into when I joined Hampshire. I had come down to Hampshire late last season just to settle in and I was hanging around trying to get a game. I knew the white ball came round earlier this year so I'd be in the frame to get a go early on."

Tom Alsop also made punishing inroads into Somerset's inadequate total, hitting seamer Davey for 4,4,6,4 before pulling a catch to short fine-leg off Craig Overton to give Somerset a breakthrough. But composed half-centuries from Markram and Sam Northeast followed, Northeast reaching the landmark with the winning blow - a regal one-legged flat bat off the long-suffering Davey to win the game in style.

A May Bank Holiday chill had descended upon the Quantocks and spectators slumped ever deeper into winter coats as seven of Somerset's top eight reached double figures without managing a single half-century.

Yellow is back in vogue here after the local elections - but regretfully for local tastes it was Hampshire who were wearing it. About the best that can be said for Somerset's innings, as they were bowled out with nearly 10 overs unused, was that Kewstoke Village Hall would be £25 better off. Peter Trego had promised £1 a run to their village hall fund-raising, but the new football goal posts will have to wait a little longer after he was bowled by Liam Dawson, trying to cut.

Azhar Ali's cautious innings ended when he was caught at the wicket, trying to run Gareth Berg. There were two top-order wickets, too, for Mason Crane's leg spin, although the first of them, a loopy thigh-high full toss, left him covering his eyes in mild embarrassment as James Hildreth scooped it into the leg side. Tom Abell's full-blooded sweep was more convincing but he picked out deep square.

George Bartlett top-scored with 40 from No. 6, his best List A score, but his inexperience showed in an increasingly skittish innings which saw him perish to an inside-out drive against Dawson. There was even a one-ball partnership between the Overton twins which ended in a first-ball run-out for Jamie. Craig was entirely innocent, responding to his brother's call instantly only for Jamie, somewhat lumbering, to fail to beat Northeast's direct hit from mid-off.

Somerset must now win their final match, under floodlights against Surrey on the same Taunton ground on Tuesday, and hope that they can secure a place in the top three for a play-off berth. Surrey might be bottom of South Group, but they still possess obvious danger for all that. Somerset's head coach Jason Kerr termed their display "disappointing, bordering on embarrassing" as a campaign that began well with four wins but which has now lost further impetus with a third successive defeat.

To satisfy local sentiments they would have to thrust the England left-arm spinner Jack Leach into the side, but he has little experience of white ball cricket and that is highly unlikely. If they balance up their side, then offspinning all-rounder Dom Bess, who started the tournament, is a likelier choice. Davey, or Jamie Overton, who came unscathed through his first bowl of the season after returning from his latest injury, would be expected to make way.

Gloucestershire 335 for 6 (Hammond 95, Taylor 69) beat Sussex 219 (Wiese 55) by 116 runs

Gloucestershire improved their chances of reaching the knockout stages of the Royal London One-Day Cup after a comprehensive 116-run win over Sussex Sharks at Eastbourne.

They plundered 135 off the last ten overs and 76 from the last five to boost their total to 335 for 6 and a Sussex side missing Phil Salt, Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan never really threatened despite another half-century from South African all-rounder David Wiese.

Benny Howell took a hat-trick - removing Ben Brown, Abi Sakande and Danny Briggs - to finish things off as Sussex were dismissed for 219 in 43.2 overs after losing their last five wickets for 14 runs and their net run rate also suffered.

The final round of South Group games on Tuesday will determine which sides join Hampshire in the knockout stages with Gloucestershire, Sussex and Middlesex all in contention.

Gloucestershire's innings was transformed a sensational barrage in the closing overs from Jack Taylor, whose unbeaten 69 came off just 26 balls and included eight sixes and two fours. None of the bowlers were spared as Taylor peppered the small boundaries at the Saffrons, although he was dropped twice in the 47th over by Will Beer on 25 and Luke Wright on 35 off the luckless Mir Hamza.

The foundations had been laid by opener Miles Hammond, who quickly came to terms with a two-paced pitch and took few risks. His 95 off 105 balls contained 11 fours and two sixes and it was a surprise when he was caught trying to clear the long-off boundary in the 31st over.

Hammond had shared 110 for the first wicket with skipper Chris Dent who made 46 after being dropped by George Garton in the fifth over on nine. Sussex's spinners Will Beer and Briggs did a good job of tying Gloucestershire down during the middle part of their innings and both finished with 2 for 51. Gareth Roderick's first 25 runs all came in singles but when he drove Briggs to extra cover for 53 in the 44th over it was the signal for Taylor to cut loose.

On a small ground a run rate of 6.72 per over ought to have been well within their range, but Sussex's innings never got any momentum in the face of some accurate bowling.

Luke Wright (21) and George Garton (1) fell in the power-play and Harry Finch (29) and Stiaan van Zyl (29) were unable to build on solid starts.

When Wiese, fresh from his record-breaking 171 against Hampshire on Thursday, came in during the 23rd over the required rate had climbed to 8.72 but he kept Sussex in the hunt, sharing 65 in 11 overs with Laurie Evans (44) and 56 in seven with Ben Brown.

Sussex were actually one run better off than Gloucestershire as the last ten overs began and Wiese had reached 55 from 58 balls when Taylor ran in from the mid-wicket boundary to hold a diving catch off his younger brother Matt. Brown (27) was caught in the deep off Howell in the 42nd over before he finished the innings off by dismissing Sakande and Briggs from the first two balls of the 44th.

Sussex must now beat Glamorgan at Hove to give themselves a chance while Gloucestershire travel to Essex knowing a third successive win could enable them to squeeze into the quarter-finals.

Kent 272 for 4 (Bell-Drummond 120*, Crawley 94) beat Essex (Westley 58, Cook 53, Milnes 3-60) by six wickets

Daniel Bell-Drummond hit an unbeaten 120 to help steer Kent to Royal London One-Day Cup victory over Essex by six wickets in Beckenham. Man-of-the-match Bell-Drummond followed a canny bowling spell of 2 for 36 with his sixth List A hundred from 107 balls and with 12 fours as Kent romped to their second successive South Group success.

Having seen Essex make a watchful start to their innings total of 271 for 9, Kent's openers Bell-Drummond and Zak Crawley set off with intent to post 61 during the batting Powerplay. The main aggressor, Bell-Drummond, reached 50 from 39 balls and with 10 fours as the Spitfires pair reached their century stand in the 16th over.

Essex turned to spin at both ends but the Kent openers ploughed on regardless as Crawley's 50 came up off 57 balls with six fours as the pair overtook 180, Kent's previous best List A opening stand against Essex, set by Mark Benson and Trevor Ward at Canterbury in 1988.

After a stand of 188 Crawley fell six shy of his hundred, leg before when working across one from Ravi Bopara, then Matt Renshaw followed in similar fashion with the home score on 202.

Heino Kuhn was bowled by Matt Coles, the former Kent allrounder, who then had Adam Rouse caught at extra cover, leaving Bell-Drummond and Alex Blake to polish the job off with 20 balls to spare.

Batting first on a bitterly cold day, Essex were forced to adjust their initial aspirations by a slightly two-paced pitch that assisted both spin and seam bowling early on. Kent made their first breakthrough in the third over when Varun Chopra tossed away his own wicket. Walking outside off to aim a wristy flick through midwicket, he skied a catch off Harry Podmore to cover point.

Former England skipper Alastair Cook and Tom Westley regrouped with a watchful second-wicket stand worth 97. Westley sprinted to a 51-ball 50 - his fourth of the tournament, with six fours and a six - while Cook played within himself to contribute only 18 during his first hour at the crease.

Cook upped his tempo with a flurry of fours off Fred Klaassen and Renshaw leading to the introduction of Bell-Drummond at the City End, who struck with his third ball by trapping Westley leg before for 58 as the right-hander worked across a straight one.

The Eagles reached 125 for 2 by the mid-point as Cook marched to a 60-ball half-century with five fours. But three runs on Cook's checked drive to a Podmore slower ball sailed to mid-off where Renshaw took an athletic, overhead catch on the run to spark a collapse of four wickets in 41 balls.

Dan Lawrence pulled a Matt Milnes bouncer low to Crawley at midwicket. Then, in the next over, Ravi Bopara's top-edged sweep against Imran Qayyum was easily gathered at short fine-leg. Qayyum removed Rishi Patel to finish with 2 for 37 when Renshaw held another steepler low down at long-on and Robbie White's miscued pull sailed to backward square-leg to give Bell-Drummond his second scalp.

Simon Harmer was caught behind off a top-edged pull but Coles scored a useful 34 before holing out to cow corer to give Milnes somewhat flattering figures of 3 for 60 as Essex successfully batted out their overs.

Offspinner Tom Sole and pace bowler Brad Wheal are in line to make their first appearances for Scotland since the 2018 World Cup Qualifier after being named in a 14-man squad to take on Afghanistan in a two-ODI series, beginning on Wednesday in Edinburgh.

The 22-year-old Sole was part of the Northamptonshire line-up that took on the touring Pakistan side in a 50-over match on April 29, scoring 22 at No. 8 and returning figures of 0 for 28 in six overs. He was a key member of the World Cup Qualifying campaign last year, taking career-best figures of 4 for 15 against Hong Kong in just his second ODI.

Wheal was similarly instrumental for Scotland in Zimbabwe, taking a career-best 3 for 34 in the controversial five-run loss, on DLS method, to West Indies that eliminated Scotland from a place in England for 2019. However, he hasn't played for Scotland since due to commitments with Hampshire.

The Durham-based pair of Michael Jones and Gavin Main have also been recalled into Scotland's squad for the pair of matches. Like Wheal and Sole, the 21-year-old batsman Jones has not appeared for Scotland since last year's World Cup Qualifier.

Medium pacer Main has spent a bit longer out of the side, having not appeared in an official match for Scotland since the 2016 T20 World Cup in India when he was in the XI for Scotland's win over Hong Kong. However, he did play for Scotland in an unofficial 50-over match against Sri Lanka ahead of the 2017 Champions Trophy in which Scotland lost by nine wickets.

Four bowlers have been left out from the Scotland side that defeated Oman 2-1 in a three-match 50-over series as well as won the T20I Quadrangular series in February, featuring Oman, Netherlands and Ireland, in Muscat. Medium-pace bowlers Ruaidhri Smith and Adrian Neill as well as left-arm spinner Hamza Tahir and legspinner Chris Greaves have all been omitted.

Smith took career-best List A figures of 4 for 7 in a historic rout of Oman in which Scotland bowled them out for 24, in Muscat. But he only bowled three overs in the following match after sustaining a pectoral-muscle strain and has not bowled thus far in 2019 for Glamorgan in the County Championship. Neill, similarly, took 4 for 7 on that occasion against Oman but suffered a lower-back injury later in the tour and is continuing his rehabilitation with the Gloucestershire second XI.

Tahir played only one match on tour in Oman and us yet to play any ODIs for Scotland after making his T20I debut last summer, against Pakistan. Greaves is yet to play for Scotland in any format.

The two ODIs are Afghanistan's first visit to Edinburgh since claiming a rain-affected 1-0 series win in the summer of 2016. The fixtures are also Scotland's first ODIs since defeating England last June at the Grange.

On the management side, Wednesday's series-opener will be the first assignment of new head coach Shane Burger. The Afghanistan series will be his first ODIs in charge of Scotland since arriving from South Africa in March, having taken over from interim coach Toby Bailey following Scotland's tour of Oman.

Scotland squad: Kyle Coetzer (capt.), Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross (wk), Alasdair Evans, Michael Jones, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Gavin Main, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Tom Sole, Craig Wallace, Mark Watt, Brad Wheal.

Having faltered one last time in IPL 2019, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik conceded there was a lot of work to do for the team to get back to its best.

"Through the whole tournament, we've been good a lot of times, bad at a lot of times, but this tournament is such that we had to play consistent cricket and we were not up to the mark," he said at the post-match presentation. "It's been decent. I don't think it's the best season that we've had. There's definitely a lot of areas for us to improve and come back stronger next time."

KKR began the season very strongly, winning matches they seemed set to lose thanks to the brilliance of Andre Russell. But then they fell into a rut, losing six matches on the trot. Even so, they came into this game against Mumbai Indians with a very good chance of making the playoffs. All they had to do was win.

But the combination of Lasith Malinga, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah were too difficult to handle. So much so that after being 49 for 0 at the end of the Powerplay, they finished 133 for 7.

"We didn't find momentum after the first six overs," Karthik said. "We'd set it up beautifully at the end of six overs but after that we didn't really get going. We kind of put the brakes on the way we batted and wickets falling didn't help either.

"When we batted, it held up a bit, it wasn't that easy for stroke-making and also they had some bowlers who were good with cutters and made it that much more harder whereas in the second innings, with a little bit of dew, it became much better to bat on."

The question of Russell batting higher up the order has been one that's hounded KKR through the tournament and it came up again.

"We had decided when there's an opportunity for him to bat up the order we were going to send him there," Karthik said. "I think the last three games we've done it. But it happens. I think he's a human being as well. He's been terrific through the tournament, he's been outstanding for us, to expecting him to deliver every time is unfair."

HOUSTON -- The Golden State Warriors are convinced that star guard Stephen Curry will bounce out of a series-long slump heading into Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal against the Houston Rockets.

"I think Steph has a good balance of beating himself up and just moving on with life," Warriors forward Draymond Green said on Sunday. "And I think that's important. It's part of the reason he's the shooter that he is. I think if you talk to anyone who plays basketball, the toughest thing is to miss shots and keep shooting. Your confidence wavers, you start to think -- Steph will miss four in a row and then heat-check the fifth one. Like from 35 feet. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it [works] for him. So I know he don't make too much off it, as a competitor I know he's pissed with himself and I think that will bode well for us. Probably it's going to lead to some aggressiveness, and we like when he's aggressive so I think he'll be fine."

Curry played arguably his worst game of the season during a 126-121 overtime loss in Game 3 on Saturday night, shooting just 7-for-23 from the field and missing a wide-open breakaway dunk with 19.2 seconds in overtime that left both fans and players stunned. Curry, who dislocated the middle finger on his left hand in the first quarter of Game 2, has brushed aside talk of the injury bothering him, despite the fact that he has had to tape his middle finger and his ring finger together since the injury.

He comes into Game 4 18-for-52 from the field in this series, including only 8-for-32 from beyond the arc.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr had a quick answer ready when asked how Curry responds after a bad game.

"He usually has a good game," Kerr said.

Kerr doesn't expect the two-time MVP to change anything up heading into Monday night.

"He's just really, really competitive and he gets locked in, and he gets a little bit angry," Kerr said. "And he comes out with a lot of focus and a lot of fight, so that's what we're expecting [Monday]."

Green echoed a similar sentiment, saying that he didn't think Curry needed any extra words of encouragement after a rough start to the series.

"I think at times you do," Green said. "And at times you just kind of feel it. Like you can feel when someone needs you, and you can just kind of feel like, 'He got it,' Like who's not saying anything? ... If you're asking me if you say something now, I don't think so."

Kerr said he would continue to have the same regular conversations he has with Curry throughout the season. There is no hint of panic from the Warriors perspective because of Curry's struggles. They have watched him break out of a slump too many times to think this one will last much longer.

"We've known each other for so long now it's not like, 'Hey, come to my office.' or 'I want to meet you,'" Kerr said. "We just chat. We just chat in passing. There's nothing planned, but my job as a coach is to help the players succeed, give them a little idea what they can do to maybe make an impact in one area or another. So those conversations happen all the time."

Of course, it's easier to handle Curry's slump while watching Kevin Durant continue to dominate offensively the way he has this postseason. Durant enters Game 4 averaging 35.6 points in the postseason, while shooting 51.5 percent from the field.

"I don't really understand what he's doing right now either," Green said with a smile of Durant's performance. "It's pretty amazing, obviously for us to have that option. Just kind of give somebody the ball and get the hell out of the way. It's definitely beneficial for us, so for him to take over the game like he did in the third quarter, there's not much a defense can do. That's good for us, but I can't really tell you what Kevin is doing, scoring whenever he wants to."

Aside from Durant's brilliance, the other good news for the Warriors is that Kerr said Sunday that injured center Damian Jones will be cleared for contact next week. Jones has been out since Dec. 1 after tearing his left pectoral muscle. Kerr left open the possibility that both Jones and DeMarcus Cousins (torn quad) could still return in the postseason if they continue progressing during their rehab.

PHILADELPHIA -- Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam, who is nursing a right calf contusion, will be a game-time decision for Game 4 of the conference semifinals between the Raptors and the 76ers.

"We're still waiting," Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. "He hasn't been on the court yet. They're going to take him out there and see how he's doing. Obviously we had a team meeting this morning. He said it wasn't any worse than it was. It's a good start.

Siakam injured the calf in the Raptors' 116-95 loss at Philadelphia in Game 3 on Thursday. He did not dress for the Raptors' Saturday practice at Wells Fargo Center.

After Siakam tests the calf during pregame warm-ups, the team's medical staff will evaluate his condition. Should Siakam be unable to play, Nurse said he is considering several contingencies for the Raptors' starting lineup.

"Possibly [Serge] Ibaka, possibly [Fred] VanVleet, possibly one other guy," Nurse said.

In Toronto's eight games this postseason, Siakam has averaged 22.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists, with an effective field goal percentage of 56.9.

Toronto trails the series 2-1.

The Washington Nationals are down another first baseman because of injury.

Matt Adams was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a left shoulder injury. The move comes just seven days after starting first baseman Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the IL with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Adams was hurt in Saturday's 10-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies when he jammed his left shoulder making a diving out on Phil Gosselin in the second inning. He was to undergo an MRI on Sunday morning.

Infielder Jake Noll was recalled from Triple-A Fresno in a corresponding move and started at first base in Sunday's game against the Phillies. It's the third time he has been called up to the majors in his rookie season.

The 30-year-old Adams is hitting .250 with three home runs and 13 RBIs this season.

He joins a growing list of impact Nationals players on the injured list, including third baseman Anthony Rendon, outfielder Juan Soto, shortstop Trea Turner and Zimmerman.

Manchester United will be playing Europa League football next season after a 1-1 draw away to bottom side Huddersfield ended their chances of finishing in the top four.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men started the game brightly and took the lead after just eight minutes when Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl somehow let Scott McTominay's effort squirm under him.

However, he made amends on the hour mark when he launched a long ball upfield -- following a poor United corner -- which Luke Shaw failed to intercept and Isaac Mbenza coolly slotted past David De Gea.

Huddersfield's relegation had been confirmed on March 30 after a defeat at Crystal Palace and had lost 22 of their past 24 matches -- and were looking for just their ninth match of the campaign without a defeat.

Solksjaer left Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial out of the matchday squad, with Alexis Sanchez handed a starting place. However, the Chile international left the pitch with an injury on 54 minutes.

As has been routine in previous matches, United started well and took the lead, but soon lost their spark and Huddersfield grew into the match before scoring a deserved equaliser.

United are ending the campaign with a whimper, and have now registered just one victory in their past eight matches across all competitions.

This result means they can no longer catch Tottenham and Chelsea in the Champions League places -- and could yet start the season in the Europa League play-offs should they finish in the sixth place and Watford beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

Huddersfield will finish the season bottom despite picking up a point against United.
