could do without middlesborough complicating things. time froze. penalty? no. liverpool needed to harvest the nervous energy. delivery. the dam had broken. it liberated liverpool, five minutes after the break, coutinho was relaxed enough to do this. all jeopardy gloriously removed. middlesbrough were overwhelmed. another five minutes and another goal, this time adam lallana. to reach the champions league proper, there is still a play—off to get through. but liverpool have taken jurgen klopp is my philosophy at heart: one thing at a time, and don't worry. only three teams could collect more points than we had, so that means we we re points than we had, so that means we were not perfect, but we had quite a good way. it's enough for the moment. i'm looking forward already to next season. i really think we will create a wonderful base. arsenal are facing a season out of the champions league for the first time in 20 years...

they finish fifth despite beating everton 2—i. arsenal played most of the game with ten men after laurent koscielny was sent—off with a straight red after a bad tackle. he'll now miss the fa cup final against chelsea next saturday. arsene wenger refused to comment on his future after the match, although he did admit that the constant speculation has affected the team. i think we had a spell during this season i think we had a spell during this season where it was very difficult, my personal situation, certainly. interfered at some stage on the group as well. we played in a hostile environment for the second pa rt hostile environment for the second part of the season. that didn't help. overall, i believe the players came back in a very strong togetherness in the last two months. and responded exceptionally well. i'm very proud of them. in the last two months. they have shown exceptional strength. manchester city sealed their place in next season's champions league by thrashing watford 5—0 to finish third in pep guardiola's debut season. alex gulrijani watched the game for us.

there were no real nerves amongst manchester city ‘s fans, although in walter matt saari ‘s final game in charge of vicarage road, they might have existed if i performance from watford. how wrong they were. city ahead inside five minutes thanks to captain vincent. a second was not far behind. sergio aguero doing what he does best. city look to make sure the top three finish. not content with two, city and where did not stop there. three, all but guaranteed the points. but they were ona guaranteed the points. but they were on a roll. why stop there? fernandinho making it four before half—time. not the sendoff he had wanted, while his boss could only smile. it did not improve the watford after break. jesus continued his aggressive start to his city career with a fifth, a season that started with so much promise ends trophy less but with a place among europe's elite sealed the next season. we knew that arsenal were going to

wa nt to obviously after you win it once you want to retain it. and be the one to win two, three. so to get the second ina row win two, three. so to get the second in a row is win two, three. so to get the second ina row isa win two, three. so to get the second in a row is a very special feeling. it's been a crazy week, really. obviously i was behind the tackle for a while during the season and had been out injured for ii for a while during the season and had been out injured for 11 weeks. timei had been out injured for 11 weeks. time i run perfectly, so to score seven goals in the last two games or so, could not have imagined to do that. to finish on 29 in 30 games i'm very pleased with. so here's confirmation of those results and the other matches today where all 20 teams were in action... confirmation of that huge win for spurs. there were also wins for manchester united, stoke, swansea and west ham. so here's the top of the table... disappointment for arsenal who will be playing in the europa league next season along with manchester united in sixth and everton in seventh. and what a season for bournemouth — finishing ninth. the bottom of the table isn't pretty for those teams involved... we already knew hull, borough and sunderland were down, but they were all thrashed today and apart from swansea and stoke, it was a bad day for all the lower sides. meanwhile video technology looks set to be introduced
