Alonso to Chelsea | City Double | Hearts: Scotland’s Third Force?

Alonso to Chelsea | City Double | Hearts: Scotland’s Third Force?

Author: Sky Sports May 17, 2026 Duration: 1:03:14

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jason Burt and Mark Ogden to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We kick things off with Man City’s FA Cup win, edging Chelsea 1-0, as Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as their new manager; is Jason right to suggest they’ve lucked out with Alonso? We also consider Antoine Semenyo’s stunning strike as the difference in a final that lacked drama, and discuss how City’s experience once again helped them get over the line.

Next stop, a dramatic climax to the Scottish Premiership title race, with Celtic pipping Hearts right at the death amid chaotic scenes. We discuss the fallout at full time, a less-than-satisfactory version of VAR, and the controversial midweek decision — before asking whether the arrival of Tony Bloom could turn Hearts into a genuine third force in Scottish football.

Next, to news that Michael Carrick is set to get the Manchester United job on a permanent basis. Danyal Khan joins us from Old Trafford to reflect on Casemiro’s farewell and Carrick’s final home game of the season — but just how excited should United fans be by news of his potential two-year contract extension?

Finally, another damaging defeat for Liverpool on Friday night, conceding four against Aston Villa and limping over the line for Champions League qualification. To add insult to injury, Salah appears to take a swipe at Arne Slot with a social media post calling for a return to “heavy metal football”, with several players also liking the post.
