Day 37 of the Premier League, the European positions seem to be practically defined although there may still be some unexpected changes in the last day. Tottenham seemed to have secured his place in Europa League but after today that is no longer in their. Liverpool For his part, he seems more alive than ever, when a few days ago everything indicated that they would not return to Champions League.
Tottenham received the Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham lost valuable points by falling 1-2. This endangers the place of the “spurs” in the following Europa League, since they fell to seventh place by staying with 59 points, three less than sixth place, and they are even in points with eighth place, so if they do not win in the last day, they could not play European competition the following season.
The victory at Aston Villa is of little use to them as nothing changes in their season. In the first ten minutes Tottenham went ahead with a goal from Steven Bergwijn, then lost the advantage with a self-strike from Sergio Reguilón in the 20th minute and a score from Ollie Watkins.
Newcastle United received the Sheffield United in St. James’ Park. Newcastle took the victory 1-0 with a lone goal from Joe Willock before the end of the first half. Willock made great use of his loan and has become synonymous with a goal for Newcastle. Nothing changes with this game, except that Sheffield is still sunk at the bottom of the table and in case of not winning on the last day, they will be the sixth worst team in the history of the Premier League in terms of points achieved.
Everton received the Wolverhampton at Goodison Park. Those of Ancelotti took the victory 1-0 and they still dream of getting to play at least the UEFA Conference League, by equaling Tottenham in points, although they depend on winning and that the “spurs” do not get the three points. The only goal of the game was scored by Richarlison a few minutes into the second half. The good news for Wolverhampton on the day was that it was confirmed that Raúl Jiménez was declared ready to return and will be able to appear on the bench on the last day.
Crystal Palace received the Arsenal in Selhurst Park. Arsenal got a victory 1-3, which allows them to aspire to avoid a disastrous without titles and without qualifying for a UEFA tournament. Nicolas Pépé opened the scoring at minute 35, at halftime Arsenal would take a 1-0 lead. At 62 Christian Benteke tied the score for the locals. Within added time Gabriel Martinelli returned the lead to Arsenal and to close the score, in the last minute Nicolas Pépé got his double. Arsenal need to win and hope Everton and Tottenham don’t do it to get into the Conference League at the last minute.
West Bromwich Albion received the West Ham at The Hawthorns, in which West Ham took all three points by winning 1-3 that are vital in their hope to play in European competitions, since with just one more point they claim to play in the Europa League. Just a minute was awarded a penalty in favor of the “hammers” that would be missed by Declan Rice. At 27 Matheus Pereira put the hosts ahead, shortly before the end of the first half, Tomas Soucek tied the score. At 82 Angelo Ogbonna gave West Ham the lead and at 88 Michail Antonio made it 3-1 on the scoreboard.
Burnley received the Liverpool on Turf Moor. The “reds” took an important victory 0-3 that allowed them to get into the best four in the league, so it is up to them to play the Champions League the following season. Roberto Firmino opened the scoring at minute 43, being the only goal of the first half. At 52 Nathaniel Phillips scored the second and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would put the third and last goal of the match at 88. Liverpool took advantage of Leicester’s defeat to get into the Champions League, as long as they do not lose in the last day or that Leicester does not manage to score points, they say your place in the top European club competition.
