Mourinho is the favourite to replace United manager Louis van Gaal, but may have to accept a pay cut to take over at Old Trafford.

There was a hint of handball about Messi's goal, although it did not appear to be intentional, as the Argentine brought down Neymar's pass and cleverly flicked the ball past Marcelo Barovero.

Uruguay forward Suarez took his tally in the tournament to five goals after his hat-trick in the semi-final win over Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande, and 24 goals in as many games this season.

Chelsea beat Sunderland 3-1 this morning at Stamford Bridge to move up one place into 15th on the league ladder.

Earlier this morning, Chelsea announced that the former Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink will be the club's interim manager until the end of the season following Mourinho's dismissal.

The 34-year-old has been with the organization since 2008, originally employed as Administrator but working also as the competition manager of Port Vila Football.

He has been instrumental in setting up a structured calendar of events including the hugely successful different competitions like, TVL Opening Cup, Wilco Cup, Classic Printers Cup and the TVL Premier League competition.

Also during his time he has overseen the implementation of regular Province of Origin and the Melanesian Super Cup.

A statement said Chelsea and the 52-year-old Portuguese Mourinho had parted company by "mutual consent" seven months after he led them to the title by an eight-point margin.

The Belgium striker, who had earlier twice hit the woodwork, steered the ball home from a deflected Gerard Deulofeu cross in the 81st minute to give the hosts a deserved share of the points.

Palace had taken the lead five minutes earlier thanks to a towering Scott Dann header from a corner after the centre back escaped the marking of midfielder Gareth Barry.

Manchester City's 2-0 defeat at Stoke opened the door for Leicester, who now have 32 points, two clear of second-placed Arsenal who moved above Manchester City with a 3-1 home defeat of Sunderland.

Shefa won the cup with VT 200 000 and Malampa second with VT 100 000 proudly sponsored by Telecom Vanuatu Limited (TVL) and Port Vila Municipality Council.

In the first match of the day, Penama beat Torba 2-0 and came third on the ladder.
