Leicester City 2-0 Sheffield United, Aston Villa 1-1 Everton:Foxes claim vital win in Champions League pursuit, Aston Villa's fight for survival gets dented.

-
Ayoze Perez and Demarai Gray scored as the Foxes claimed a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium over Sheffield United. 

Keicester's victory was only their second since the restart, as they saw their grip on a top four spot weaken in recent weeks. 

But the win has left Leicester just one point behind Chelsea in third place, they also still have tough matches against Tottenham and Manchester United to play.

Ezri Konsa gave Aston Villa the lead against Everton, but an 87th minute equaliser from Theo Walcott left Villa three points behind 17th placed Watford also having played a game more.

Leicester took the lead through Ayoze Perez as he controlled a pass from debutant Luke Thomas a guided the ball through John Egan's legs and into the bottom corner just before the half hour mark.

The second goal came 11 minutes from time as substitute Demarai Gray finished off a counter attack with an angled finish after he was found by Jamie Vardy. 

Villa suffered late heart break at Goodison Park and remained in the relegation zone with two matches left to play.

Konsa put Villa ahead when he showed great reactions in the box to get on the end of Conor Hourihane's free kick.

However, Everton equalised three minutes from time through Walcott as he headed in despite Konsa's attempted clearance.

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.
