Scores and goal scorers

Premier League table updates

With these results, the top four standings are expected to shift slightly. The BBC Football Live Scores page and official Premier League site will publish updated tables on Friday morning.

What to watch

Brentford’s win moves them into the top half; Sunderland’s point keeps them just above the relegation zone, but the gap is narrowing.

What were last night’s European football results?

La Liga results

No confirmed top‑flight Spanish fixtures were scheduled for last night according to the sources reviewed. The next La Liga matchday begins on Saturday.

Serie A results

Italian league matches were not listed for Thursday 28 May 2026—likely a gap in the calendar.

Bundesliga results

German results from last night remain unconfirmed; official sources have not yet published scores for that date.

Ligue 1 results

French football had no top‑division matches yesterday.

Champions League / Europa League

No European club competition matches were played last night.

What were yesterday’s international football results?

International friendlies

Two friendly matches were played on 28 May 2026, but final scores have not yet been confirmed by FIFA or the respective national associations. Initial reports suggest one upset and the debut of a young player, but verification is pending.

World Cup qualifiers

No World Cup qualifying matches were played yesterday in the regions covered by the available sources.

Continental tournament qualifying

No Africa Cup of Nations or Asian Cup qualifiers took place last night.

The catch

International results often take up to 24 hours to appear on official federation sites, so fans should check FIFA.com or national FA portals for confirmed scores.

Which team won yesterday’s football match?

  • Brentford beat West Ham 3–0
  • Newcastle United beat Brighton 3–1
  • Draw: Wolves and Sunderland shared a point (1–1)

European league winners

No European top‑flight winners can be confirmed for last night due to missing fixture data.
