Newcastle 1-3 Liverpool:Champions end season in thrilling fashion as they claim come from behind victory

-
Liverpool reached a club record tally of 99 points in the Premier League as they claimed a 3-1 come from behind win at the St' James' Park.

The Reds who lifted the PL trophy on Wednesday after their 5-3 victory over Chelsea went behind courtesy of Dwight Gayle's opener in the first minute of the match.


But Virgil Van Dijk equalised before Divock Origi ended his goal drought since December before Sadio Mane came off the bench to score as Liverpool finished on 99 points just one shy of Manchester City's 100 points from two seasons ago.

Newcastle took the lead as Allan Saint Maximin won a free kick that was played into the path of Gayle from Jonjo Shelvey as he sent the ball past Alisson.

Liverpool were dominant from there on but Martin Dubravka had to save well from a Takumi Minamino effort, before Alisson had to be focused to field a Federico Fernandez shot at the other end.

But with Liverpool's main attacking trio on the bench, Virgil Van Dijk stepped up to nod an Alex Oxlade Chamberlain cross above Dubravka in goal.

Klopp brought on Salah, Firmino and Mane as the second half started slowly but it was Divock Origi that scored Liverpool's second as he sent a shot through a swarm of bodies before deceiving Dubravka and finding the right bottom corner.

After the substitutions were made Mo Salah's first influence was to flash a powerful shot off the post.

While,Sadio Mane put the game to bed with a trademark goal as he cut in from the left before he curled beyond Dubravka's reach to put a cherry on top Liverpool's impressive PL season.

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.

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...
