Chelsea 1-0 Norwich:Lampard's men claim slender win against relegated Norwich City

-
Olivier Giroud scored as Chelsea claimed a 1-0 win against Norwich City to put a four point gap between themselves and chasing pair of Manchester United and Leicester City.

The first attempt at goal came when Ruben Loftus Cheek nodded a downward header at the near post.

Pulisic came close after he was found by  Marcos Alonso but he could only steer a shot into the side netting. The young American came close again as after a superb cross from the right, he brought down the ball magnificently only to see his left footed shot tipped onto the bar by Tim Krul.

The breakthrough finally came when Pulisic after great work on the flank with Marcos Alonso cut back on to his right foot and picked out Giroud who nodded the ba into the net and continue his good goalscoring run for the Blues.

In the second half Chelsea continued bossing the possession but had nothing to show for their efforts,as Christian Pulisic was again denied by Tim Krul after Olivier Giroud tried repaying the American in same faith by chipping the ball over the Norwich defence.

The last real chance of the match again came Chelsea's way as Tim Krul denied the Brazilian's free kick from the left.

Bournemouth 0-2 Southampton:Danny Ings score as the loss leaves Cherries on the brink of relegation

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.

Milan moved up to fifth in the Serie A standings courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double after the veteran striker's first half brace either side of Francesco Caputo's penalty.

Milan lost two players to injury as they had to be without Andrea Conti and Captain Alessio Romagnoli, before Caputo converted from the penalty spot after a lengthy VAR review. But Calhanoglu and Ibrahimovic combined again before the end of the first half as Ibra gathered the Turkish international's through ball before rounding Andrea Consigli to score. What's next?
