The Premier League delivered on Saturday as there were major twists and turns at both ends of the table. Letās take a look at what went down.
Liverpoolās end-of-season collapse continued in the early fixture as JĆ¼rgen Kloppās 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.
Itās 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 fansā¦
As previously mentioned, Liverpoolās aim of sending JĆ¼rgen 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 Forestās Sunday afternoon matchup with Manchester City.
Aston Villaās 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.
JĆ¼rgen Klopp on a touchline confrontation with Mo Salah: āWe spoke in the dressing room, it is done for me!ā
Rob Edwards after Lutonās loss to Wolves: āIncredibly frustrated how we conceded the two goals, really disappointed to lose the game of course, but what I saw was some of the things Iāve been asking for throughout the week
David Moyes on JĆ¼rgen Kloppās departure: āJĆ¼rgen Klopp? Iāll be glad heās gone. F****** too big, teeth are too bright. Heās been immense for Liverpool.ā
Sean Dyche on Evertonās Premier League survival: āI am pleased for everyone. It was a massive week and weāve managed to get three clean sheets and nine points.ā
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.
