Matchday 34 of the Premier League came to a spectacular end with a clinical victory for Manchester United against Aston Villa. Their emphatic 3-0 win took them to 58 points, just one shy of Leicester City.
Much like this win boosted their Champions League hopes, Chelsea's narrow victory in the first game of this round helped their European ambitions. Despite looking shaky, they left Selhurst Park with a 3-2 win.
Manchester City bounced back from a shocking 1-0 defeat to Southampton in Matchday 33 with a breathtaking 5-0 win over Newcastle United. Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Leicester was a crucial result in the context of both UCL and Europa League spots as it saw the Foxes drop points. The Gunners also hope to play Europa League football next year.
The champions, Liverpool, cruised past Brighton & Hove Albion with goals from Mohamed Salah and a stunner from Jordan Henderson. They became the fastest team to reach 30 league wins (34 games) in 132 years of English football.
