Arsenal's faint Premier League title hopes suffered a potentially fatal blow as they were held to a draw at Everton.

Crystal Palace finished with nine men but held on to beat Brighton as Daniel Muñoz's second-half winner decided a match of three red cards at Selhurst Park.

Wolves closed in on Premier League survival and left Ipswich on the brink of relegation after a vital comeback win at Portman Road.

Evanilson's double rescued a draw for Bournemouth at West Ham as the Cherries' winless run in the Premier League stretched to six games.

Aston Villa survived a stirring Nottingham Forest comeback to boost their Champions League hopes.

Chelsea rang the changes and failed to fire as their bid to reach next season's Champions League hit another bump with a draw at Brentford.

Liverpool's 26-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end as Fulham beat them at Craven Cottage.

Southampton suffered the earliest relegation in Premier League history after a Brennan Johnson double inspired Tottenham Hotspur to a comfortable victory in North London.

Manchester United and Manchester City played out an uninspiring goalless draw that underlined the need for change at both clubs this summer.

Free-scoring Newcastle heaped more misery on relegation-bound Leicester as the Magpies' Champions League pursuit gathered further momentum.
