Brentford scored three to open three points on Southampton.

It ended 2-2 at Stamford Bridge. Romelu Lukaku’s two goals were wiped out by Wolves to see Chelsea go three league games without a win.

Wilfried Zaha’s goal confirmed another league victory for Crystal Palace and confirmed relegation for Watford.

Brighton has beaten Arsenal, Tottenham, and now Manchester United.
Brighton has been fair in taking three points from all three prime candidates that were chasing a ‘top 4’ finish.
Brighton ended Manchester United’s mathematical possibility of finishing in a Champions League qualifying spot with a 4-0 thrashing.

Tottenham got a big point from a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.
Luis Diaz scored in the 74th minute for Liverpool to avoid defeat from Heung-Min Son’s goal in the 56th minute. A point wasn’t what both clubs needed to fund their ambitions but neither side could afford to leave the game empty-handed.

Edward Nketiah scored two in the first 10 minutes to get Arsenal a deserved three points at home through a 2-1 win against Leeds United.
Leeds United was reduced to 10 men in the 27th minute after VAR’s recommendation turned a yellow card into a red card for a two-foot tackle, but a 10-man Leeds United halved the score in the second half.

Everton got three points at Leicester from a 2-1 score.

West Ham took the opportunity against relegated Norwich City through a 4-0 win in Norwich.

A 5-0 win for Manchester City meant they end the season with a 9-0 aggregate score against Newcastle.
