Leicester City and Leeds United were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season after Everton ensured their own survival with a narrow victory on Sunday.

Leicester put together one of the all-time underdog sports stories when they lifted the Premier League title in 2016 but now face life in the Championship despite a 2-1 victory on Sunday over West Ham United.

Leeds will join them in England's second tier after suffering a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The club led a difficult season that saw them sack managers Jesse Marsch and Javi Gracia before hiring Sam Allardyce with four games remaining.

Meanwhile, a superb strike from Abdoulaye Doucoure helped Everton to a 1-0 win over Bournemouth, maintaining the club's record of never having been relegated from the Premier League as they enter their final season at longtime home Goodison Park.

"There will be a review from people who have been here all season and will understand it," Leicester manager Dean Smith said.

"Mine was a remit to come in for seven weeks and eight games and try to keep the club in the Premier League. Unfortunately, I've fallen a little bit short."

Since winning the Premier League, Leicester had enjoyed two fifth-place finishes and won the FA Cup in 2021. However, a summer transfer window in which the club signed just one outfield player, followed by failing to win any of their opening six league games meant the club faced a fight to stay up this season.

Manager Brendan Rodgers looked to have steadied the ship soon after, with the club in 13th place when the Premier League paused for the 2022 World Cup. But a run of five losses in six matches led to Rodgers' dismissal on April 2 and the appointment of Dean Smith on an interim basis.

Leicester entered Sunday two points behind Everton, needing Sean Dyche's side to drop points, and things looked to be heading in the right direction for Smith with goals from Harvey Barnes and Wout Faes enough to secure three points.

However, Dourcoure's thunderous strike from the edge of the box on 57 minutes proved crucial and meant Everton stayed up on 36 points, two ahead of Leicester.

"Horrible day for all concerned apart from getting the job done," Dyche said. "This was the main job. We had to get it sorted out and over the line. That was the key focus. Now we must refocus on the rest of it."

Leeds, who finished five points from safety, were on the losing end of a superb display from Harry Kane, who netted twice in a convincing Spurs win.

"Most of it comes down to how good are your players?" Allardyce said. "These players have tried very hard and I can't fault their effort but as a squad they haven't been good enough by the fact that they're in the bottom three in the Premier League.

"I would have loved it if I could have got a little bit more out of them, so I take responsibility for that."

Southampton are the third side losing their Premier League status, having finished bottom of the table.

TAMPERE, Finland -- Defenseman Kristian Rubins scored his second goal 1:22 into overtime to lead Latvia to a 4-3 victory over the United States and earn a bronze medal at the ice hockey world championship Sunday.

It's the first top-three finish for Latvia at the tournament. Its previous best was a seventh place it managed three times.

The U.S. lost in the bronze-medal game for the second straight year. The U.S. team was cruising through the tournament with eight straight wins until it lost 4-3 to Germany in the semifinal in overtime.

Rubins rallied Latvia with his first with 5:39 to go in the final period to tie the game at 3 to force overtime.

Roberts Bukarts and Janis Jaks also scored for Latvia.

Rocco Grimaldi scored twice for the U.S. in the opening period to negate Latvia's 1-0 and 2-1 leads.

Matt Coronato had put the U.S. 3-2 ahead 6:19 into the final period.

Canada faces Germany in the final later Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Josef Newgarden finally captured his long-awaited Indianapolis 500 on Sunday and gave team owner Roger Penske his 19th and first since buying Indianapolis Motor Speedway, making an audacious pass of defending race winner Marcus Ericsson during a frantic 2.5-mile sprint to the finish.

After the race was red-flagged for the third time in the closing laps, Newgarden was moved from fourth to second by race control. The two-time IndyCar champion, who had been 0 for 11 in "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," took advantage of it by slingshotting around Ericsson on the restart and then holding him off through the last two turns for the win.

Newgarden brought his Chevrolet-powered car to a stop on the front stretch, jumped out and found a hole in the fence, diving into part of a crowd estimated at more than 300,000 to celebrate. Then he climbed the fence to mimic longtime Team Penske driver and four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves.

Ericsson finished second in a Honda for Chip Ganassi Racing. He was followed by Santino Ferrucci, who gave 88-year-old A.J. Foyt his team's best finish in the race he won four times since Kenny Bräck won it in 1999.

Pole sitter Alex Palou, the race favorite, was fourth for Ganassi and Alexander Rossi rounded out the top five for Arrow McLaren.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Near the end of this season, Rocco Baldelli will have his hands full managing even more twins.

The manager of the Minnesota Twins and his wife, Allie, are expecting, yes, twins of their own in September. They have a daughter, Louisa, who turns 2 that month.

Baldelli, who is in his fifth year managing the Twins, acknowledged that the arrival of two babies down the stretch of the pennant race will be challenging albeit exciting.

Former Twins star Joe Mauer, who retired after the 2018 season before Baldelli was hired, happened to be visiting the clubhouse before the game Sunday with his 9-year-old twin daughters.

"I get some good nuggets of advice from everyone that has them, or is even related to them in any way, and I'll take anything that I can get," Baldelli said.

The Chicago White Sox returned outfielder Eloy Jimenez from his injury rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Birmingham on Sunday and reinstated him from the 10-day injured list.

Jimenez was expected to be sidelined four to six weeks after undergoing an appendectomy on May 6.

The White Sox inserted him into Sunday's lineup, playing right field and batting second against the Detroit Tigers.

Jimenez, 26, is batting .258 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 25 games this season. He has started 22 games at designated hitter and three in right field, but he is expected to see more time in the outfield to keep Jake Burger's bat in the lineup at DH.

Jimenez, a fifth-year pro, hit 31 homers as a rookie and has 75 over four-plus seasons. He has a .274 career average and 226 RBIs in 341 games.

Also Sunday, the White Sox optioned outfielder Adam Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte.

Haseley, 27, is batting .222 with two RBIs in 26 games this season.

He is a career .259 hitter with five homers and 43 RBIs in 156 career games with the Philadelphia Phillies and White Sox.

NEW YORK -- Padres left fielder Juan Soto was a late scratch from San Diego's 10-7 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday because of back tightness.

The injury was announced about 10 minutes before first pitch.

The Yankees also lost Anthony Rizzo after he collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. on a pickoff attempt at first base in the top of the sixth. Rizzo was removed from the game ahead of the seventh inning for "precautionary reasons" after suffering a neck injury in the collision, according to the Yankees.

Soto, meanwhile, was held out of the starting lineup for the first time this season and replaced by José Azocar. Soto was set to bat third in San Diego's original lineup, and Xander Bogaerts moved to that spot after not starting Saturday because of wrist soreness.

Soto hit a two-run homer Friday in a 5-1 win after fouling a pitch off his left knee. He hit a 432-foot drive to right field that came off the bat at 114 mph, the Padres' hardest-hit home run this season.

Soto is batting .263 with 10 homers and 24 RBIs in his first full season with the Padres, who acquired him from Washington at last year's trade deadline. He went 0-for-2 with two walks Saturday in a 3-2, 10-inning loss to extend his on-base streak to 11 games.

NEW YORK -- Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán said Sunday he probably will use less rosin on his hands when he returns from a 10-game suspension for using a foreign substance on the mound.

Germán was suspended by Major League Baseball on May 17 and will return to the Yankees' rotation for Monday's game in Seattle.

"You have to do something different because what I did before got me ejected from the game," he said through an interpreter. "Probably go back to previous years before where I used it way less."

Germán was disciplined after being ejected in the fourth inning of New York's 6-3 win in Toronto on May 16. He retired the first nine hitters before his hands were checked by first-base umpire D.J. Reyburn as Germán headed to the mound for the fourth inning.

After the game, crew chief James Hoye said Germán had "the stickiest hand I've ever felt."

Hoye's crew also examined Germán's hands during an April 15 start against Minnesota, when the right-hander retired his first 16 batters, but allowed him to stay in that game. Hoye had asked Germán to wash rosin off his hand and some had remained on his pinkie.

Germán said Sunday he has not gotten a direct explanation of what is the appropriate amount of rosin to use.

"As far as like a direct explanation on how much to use or not, I haven't gotten a better explanation from MLB or the umpires," he said. "To me, I have to keep using it, understand how much to use and keep a balance, but at the same time I've got to keep preparing myself to pitch and keep my routine in between starts to get me in the right shape for the next start and just keep using the rosin bag and try to keep executing pitches."

Germán was the fourth pitcher suspended since MLB began cracking down on foreign substances in June 2021 and the second this season. New York Mets pitcher Max Scherzer also served a 10-game suspension after being ejected April 19 in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

In 2021, Seattle's Hector Santiago and Arizona's Caleb Smith served suspensions for sticky substances.

"He has to avoid that and that's us being more vigilant and check and make sure we're in a good spot," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Germán. "We should be fine, but I think that's the one thing about this: What is the line, there is no defined line, you can't have sticky [substances] on your hands. So he's got to be mindful of that."

German is 2-3 with a 3.75 ERA in nine starts this season. He is 28-24 with a 4.31 ERA in 101 career appearances (79 starts) since making his major league debut in 2017 with the Yankees.

American goes No.5 on world all-time rankings as KJT finishes runner-up and Pierce LePage wins decathlon at annual Hypo-Meeting

Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s heptathlon world record of 7291 has stood the test of time. The multiple global champion in combined events and long jump set her long-standing mark when winning gold at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

Since then only three heptathletes have broken the 7000 points barrier – Carolina Klüft of Sweden with 7032, Nafi Thiam of Belgium with 7013 and Larisa Nikitina of the Soviet Union with 7007 in 1989.

At the latest Hypo-Meeting in Götzis on Saturday and Sunday (May 27-28), though, Anna Hall almost joined this exclusive club with a big score of 6988 to win the annual combined events extravaganza in style.

Behind, runner-up Katarina Johnson-Thompson of Britain posted her best score since winning the world title in Doha in 2019 with 6556 as Adrianna Sulek of Poland was third with 6480 and Saga Vanninen, the world under-20 champion from Finland, fourth with 6391.

Hall dominated from the start with a brilliant 12.75 PB in the 100m hurdles. She followed this with a 1.92m high jump PB, 13.90m in the shot put and then a blistering 22.88 PB in the 200m to end Saturday with a day one score of 4172 that only Joyner-Kersee has beaten.

Johnson-Thompson, meanwhile, clocked a disappointing but not disastrous 13.88 in the sprint hurdles followed by 1.89m high jump, 13.92m PB in the shot and 23.26 in the 200m.

Hall’s second day began with a 6.54m long jump PB, 43.08m javelin, while Johnson-Thompson jumped 6.32m and threw 44.14m with the 22-year-old from America requiring 2:02.22 to break the 7000-point barrier.

Hall meant business, too, as she blasted straight into the lead and went through the bell well clear of her rivals in 58.5. Beginning to tire, she passed 600m in 1:30 before coming home in another PB of 2:02.97 as Johnson-Thompson clocked 2:12.40 in second.

Fellow Brit Jade O’Dowda, meanwhile, ran 2:11.90 to win her heat as she scored a PB of 6255 points in 10th.

“I’m really happy with where I’m at in training as I had no idea I could score this high,” said Hall. “I’m excited to get back to work, to clean things up and get ready for worlds.

“The crowd was amazing as I could feel I was hitting the wall (in the 800m). I’m only 22 and have a long time to chase big scores. I’m progressing and I guess things are improving quicker than I thought.”

Hall grew up in a sports-mad family in Denver, Colorado, and competed for Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators at university before going professional with adidas last year after winning bronze at the World Champs in Eugene.

Her progress has been steady and impressive although she suffered a big set back in 2021 when falling in the sprint hurdles at the US trials, breaking a bone in her foot and having a metal screw fitted into it.

Her breakthrough performance in Götzis also comes a few weeks after she made an exasperated attack on internet trolls who have criticised her physique.

“This is my public service request,” she tearfully said during a Tik-Tok video. “Stop telling female athletes they look like men. Literally, stop it—it is so mean.”

On winning major titles in future, she added: “I’m gonna look strong if I wanna do that.

“Just stop it. It’s so hurtful for no reason. Like why would you take the time out of your day to say that? Like just scroll. Just scroll.”

Hall’s plan now is to do a few races in Europe, including 400m hurdles at the Florence Diamond League, before returning home for the US Championships and then getting ready for the World Championships in Budapest where she will again face Johnson-Thompson plus Olympic and world champion Thiam, who was not here in Götzis.

The decathlon was won in Götzis by a Canadian but not the one who was expected to triumph. All eyes were on favourite Damian Warner but he scored 8619 to finish runner-up to fellow countryman Pierce LePage, who scored 8700.

“Shout out to Damian,” said LePage, who won silver behind Warner at the World Champs last year. “He definitely pushed me the entire way. He’s the king of Götzis. Just because I won once, he’s still the king.”

“The better man won today,” said Warner, who was trying to win his eighth Hypo-Meeting title in the Austrian town.

They say don't read the comments - but it is easier said than done.

But for some, after a match - win or lose - the messages take on a very different tone.

Earlier in May, American Taylor Townsend shared a screenshot of the death threat and racist abuse she received in an email.

The catalyst? Townsend's third-round defeat in the Italian Open.

"I think fans would be surprised by some of the things not just you but your family get," world number six Coco Gauff said.

"I think that's why I feel like I've become more private with my life - I don't like to subject my friends and family to that."

This year, French Open organisers have offered players at the tournament artificial intelligence-protection from social media abuse - but what does it do and will players use it?

How is French Open aiming to protect players?

The Bodyguard technology aims to filter out abusive comments on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Tiktok and Discord.

Players can scan a QR code to connect their social media accounts to its system, with the company stating it analyses every real-time comment in under 200 milliseconds and blocks abusive remarks.

The company states a team of linguists has created word patterns that can be updated in real time that would help it filter out abusive comments, adding: "the aim is to let nothing slip through the net, while being careful not to be too censorial."

The French Open is the first of the four Grand Slams to introduce such a scheme, with French Tennis Federation CEO Caroline Flaissier saying player mental health is a "priority for Roland Garros".

'Probably they were betting on you'

While social media allows players to be more accessible, it also opens them up to a higher level of scrutiny from fans.

Tennis is a near year-round sport, with the amount of matches making it attractive to gamblers.

"Probably they were betting on you. And then they write me this crazy message," said former French Open champion and world number 17 Jelena Ostapenko.

"I don't really care what the people are saying on social media when I lost a match. I can have not a good day, or something was wrong, they don't even know this."

World number one and defending champion Iga Swiatek is one of the players who has signed up to the Bodyguard programme.

"After tournaments I had this ritual of going to see what people thought about my matches. But right now, I stopped doing that," she said.

"I had, I don't know, two tournaments, one I won, the other one I was in the final. I went on social media and people were unhappy because after last year, they thought that I should win everything [or] that I'm getting worse because I'm not winning.

"It frustrated me a little bit and I realised there is no sense to read all that stuff."

Swiatek called the app a "step forward to the right direction".

"It's just sad to see that the thing that was supposed to kind of make us happy and socialised is giving us more negative feelings and thoughts," she said.

"So I think these kind of apps maybe will help us to use social media and not worry about those things."

Last year's runner-up Gauff said that while she admires the French Open for "stepping in and finding ways to protect the players", she will not be using the Bodyguard app as she has already taken action to filter out messages on Instagram.

"I don't really see too many bad messages online, honestly. Before I implemented that [a filter], yes, I would get them on Instagram pretty much daily, hourly," she said.

"I just filter everything - the messages I can only see are people who have followed me for some time. You'd have to be a pretty dedicated person to leave a hate comment - you would have to follow me for a while to do that."

What else is being done to tackle the issue?

Online abuse is not purely a tennis issue - nor is it a new concept.

Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has shared numerous examples of the abuse she has received, while Serena Williams was subjected to constant discussion about her appearance and on-court performance throughout her career.

Football players have increasingly spoken out on the subject, notably after England players Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were racially abused online after the Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy.

A number of clubs and governing bodies boycotted social media platforms in an effort to bring about change.

Social media platforms have said they are committed to tackling abuse, with Instagram introducing a tool in 2021 to enable users to automatically filter out abusive messages from those they do not follow on the platform.

However, more can still be done.

In May, former Olympic champion Monica Puig responded to Townsend's post, calling on the ATP and WTA to do more to protect players.

A WTA spokesperson said the governing body works with a risk assessment and management company to shut down social media accounts when warranted.

"Player safety is the WTA's number one priority," the spokesperson added.

"The WTA has been working for several years to educate and counsel players on this issue, as the number of players affected continues to increase and it's an important issue we take very seriously."
