The Premier League delivered on Saturday as there were major twists and turns at both ends of the table. Letâs take a look at what went down.
Liverpoolâs end-of-season collapse continued in the early fixture as JĂŒrgen Kloppâs men could only manage a draw away to West Ham, further derailing their Premier League title hopes.
Aston Villa saw a two-goal deficit erased by Chelsea to throw another spanner in the works of their top-four push.
Manchester United continued to struggle as they could only manage a draw with relegation-threatened Burnley.
Meanwhile at the other end of the standings, a thumping at the hands of Newcastle United means Sheffield United will head down to the Championship after just one season back in the big-time.
Everton, however, secured their safety with a gritty 1-0 win over Brentford. Barring any changes to their ongoing points deduction issues, they will remain in the top-flight thanks to another late-season turnaround.
Itâs hard to look away from Alexander Isak when it comes to the Player of the Day.
The Newcastle man bagged two more goals Saturday, increasing his tally to 19, a personal best.
Look away Liverpool fansâŠ
As previously mentioned, Liverpoolâs aim of sending JĂŒrgen Klopp off with another Premier League title looks all but a distant dream as their draw with West Ham means they can finish the weekend as many as five points off the top. Should Manchester City win both their games in hand, that gap will be seven.
The relegation battle remains razor-sharp. While Sheffield United have had their fate sealed, only two points separate Burnley in 19th and Nottingham Forest in 17th heading into Forestâs Sunday afternoon matchup with Manchester City.
Aston Villaâs top-four hopes took a slight dent when they dropped points against Chelsea, as 5th place Tottenham now have three games in hand and a seven point deficit to make up.
JĂŒrgen Klopp on a touchline confrontation with Mo Salah: âWe spoke in the dressing room, it is done for me!â
Rob Edwards after Lutonâs loss to Wolves: âIncredibly frustrated how we conceded the two goals, really disappointed to lose the game of course, but what I saw was some of the things Iâve been asking for throughout the week
David Moyes on JĂŒrgen Kloppâs departure: âJĂŒrgen Klopp? Iâll be glad heâs gone. F****** too big, teeth are too bright. Heâs been immense for Liverpool.â
Sean Dyche on Evertonâs Premier League survival: âI am pleased for everyone. It was a massive week and weâve managed to get three clean sheets and nine points.â
Sunday is set to be another potentially season-defining day in the Premier League as league leaders Arsenal will square off with Tottenham in the North London Derby, while chasers Manchester City take on Nottingham Forest.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth will host fellow south coast side Brighton.
