On a day of farewells, it’s been Jeff Stelling’s final day on the Sky Sports goal show. Sky a are currently showing a moving montage of some of his best bits. It’s great.
The four pundits with him give him a standing ovation as we cut back to the studio, a lovely moment. Even the usually unflappable Jeff looks emotional. He pays tribute to the whole Sky Sports family, top to bottom. A classy sign off from a classy operator.
And last but not least of our 10 Premier League match reports today: it’s Palace 1-1 Forest.
A bit more from that earlier Allardyce interview with BT Sport:
“It’s professional suicide. You prepare for a game, you get the players down here, put in some tactics, you look at the opposition’s strengths and weaknesses and then try to play the game as best you can.
“But when you do what you do in the game, football in those moments, the errors are huge errors and Harry Kane is going to take full advantage. We messed up again. We tried to find our way back and then we mess up again in a big way.
“Our response to going 1-0 down was very good but unfortunately with a huge amount of attempts, I think we had 20 or 21, only two were on target and that probably says it all for Leeds this season … You want to go out with some pride but unfortunately I didn’t see that sadly.”
Jacob Steinberg was at Stamford Bridge to see Newcastle grab a final-day draw against Chelsea:
Jonathan Wilson was at St Mary’s to see eight goals and a couple of demob defences:
Nick Ames was at the Emirates to watch Arsenal bid farewell to Granit Xhaka with a thumping win over Wolves:
Andy Hunter was our man at Goodison. Here’s his report on a huge result for the club:
“Everton extended Abdoulaye Doucouré’s contract earlier this week and the midfielder repaid them by extending their residence in the top flight of English football into a 70th year. The midfielder struck a quite superb goal to seal the victory Sean Dyche’s team desperately needed over Bournemouth to avoid a first relegation since 1951.”
And Everton manager Sean Dyche talking to Sky Sports: “Magic day but we shouldn’t be in this shape. It’s a big club and we’ve got to get it back to being one on the pitch as well as off the pitch.”
David Hytner was at Elland Road to watch Allardyce’s side drop:
Sam Allardyce is talking to BT Sport at Elland Road after what surely will be his last game as manager. “I wanted to go out with a sense of pride today and I didn’t see that sadly,” he says.
Ben Bloom was at Villa Park to see the hosts secure a European spot:
John Brewin was at the Gtech to see Brentford seal an unlikely double:
Manchester United clinched third place with victory over Fulham: here’s Jamie Jackson’s report:
Here’s Ben Fisher’s report from Leicester, where victory was not enough for the home side:

So here’s how the bottom of the table ends up:
Pos | Team | P | GD | Pts |
---|---|---|---|---|
16 | Nottm Forest | 38 | -30 | 38 |
17 | Everton | 38 | -23 | 36 |
18 | Leicester | 38 | -17 | 34 |
19 | Leeds | 38 | -30 | 31 |
20 | Southampton | 38 | -37 | 25 |
Fans pour onto the pitch at Goodison, while there are tears at the King Power Stadium and fury at Elland Road.
Full-time: Everton stay up, Leicester are relegated
The full-time whistle finally blows at Goodison Park which means Everton survive and Leicester join Leeds in the Championship despite their win over West Ham.
The final few seconds at Goodison are live right here:
Leeds relegated from the Premier League
It’s finished 4-1 to Spurs at Elland Road and Leeds are down.
Full-time: Leicester 2-1 West Ham
Unlike Leeds, Leicester have done their bit. They have a couple of minutes to wait …
GOAL! Leeds 1-4 Tottenham (Moura 90+5)
Lucas Moura signs off from Spurs by waltzing through the Leeds defence and slotting home. That’s turned the morose mood at Elland Road rather more angry.
More full-times: Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle, Arsenal 5-0 Wolves, Southampton 4-4 Liverpool
The full-time whistles are beginning to blow.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Brentford 1-0 Manchester City
Manchester United 2-1 Fulham
Six minutes are added on at the King Power, where all Leicester’s hopes are on a Bournemouth goal. Leeds, meanwhile, are going down with a whimper at Elland Road.
90 minutes ticks up at Goodison … and there will be a minimum of 10 minutes of stoppage time.
More stoppages at Goodison – injury time is sure to be pretty chunky there.
GOAL! Brentford 1-0 Manchester City (Pinnock 85)
Ethan Pinnock sends the BC Stadium wild, poking home to give the home side the lead against the champions.
That second goal for Harry Kane at Elland Road takes him to 30 for the season – he’s only the second player to reach that landmark in a Premier League season more than once. Alan Shearer (who did it three times) is the other.
GOAL! Leicester 2-1 West Ham (Fornals 79)
Fornals slots home at the near post just to add to Leicester’s concerns.
GOAL! Arsenal 5-0 Wolves (Kiwior 78)
After a bit of head tennis in the Wolves box, Kiwior fires home to make it five.
A fairly lengthy stoppage at Goodison as Jordan Pickford goes down with a hand injury. Could mean the full-time whistle blowing there a little later than elsewhere.
GOAL! Southampton 4-4 Liverpool (Jota 73)
Gakpo taps home to make it 4-3 – a beautifully constructed goal – and Jota has equalised a minute later!
GOAL! Southampton 4-3 Liverpool (Gakpo 72)
Crikey. And there’s more …
GOAL! Leeds 1-3 Tottenham (Kane 69)
Well, any semblance of joy at Elland Road disappeared pretty quickly. Leeds leave themselves horribly open at the back and Kane has all the time in the world to pick his spot.
GOAL! Leeds 1-2 Tottenham (Harrison 67)
Jack Harrison works himself a yard of space on the right edge of the Spurs box and fires across goal to get Leeds back in it. Too little, too late, though.
GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottm Forest (Hughes 66)
A rare goal for Will Hughes at Selhurst: he flicks home Olise’s cross to put Palace level.
GOAL! Southampton 4-2 Liverpool (Armstrong 64)
The sleeper hit of the day has come at St Mary’s: Henderson’s loose pass allows Adam Armstrong to scoot forward and make it four for Southampton.
GOAL! Leicester 2-0 West Ham (Faes 62)
Tielemans swings in a free-kick, Faes rises highest to head home. But it’ll all be for naught if Bournemouth cannot find an equaliser at Goodison.
GOAL! Arsenal 4-0 Wolves (Jesus 58)
Arsenal really are finishing the season in style, Jesus nodding home at the far post.
Goodison has come apart at the seams in reaction to that goal. What a moment. Here’s the goal for those in the UK:
GOAL! Everton 1-0 Bournemouth (Doucouré 57)
What. A. Strike. Doucouré thrashes in from the edge of the area. Read all about it here:
That means Leicester are heading for the drop AS IT STANDS:
Pos | Team | P | GD | Pts |
---|---|---|---|---|
16 | AFC Bournemouth | 38 | -34 | 39 |
17 | Everton | 38 | -23 | 36 |
18 | Leicester | 38 | -17 | 34 |
19 | Leeds | 38 | -29 | 31 |
20 | Southampton | 38 | -36 | 27 |
Leeds are trying their best to go down with a fight but are struggling to make an impact. There’s little argument they’ve been one of the three worst teams in the league this season, since the World Cup certainly.
GOAL! Manchester Utd 2-1 Fulham (Fernandes 55)
A pass of the season contender from Fred puts Bruno Fernandes through and he slots home to give United the lead.
Demarai Gray has just missed a wonderful opportunity to put Everton ahead at Goodison but his close-range header is straight at the Bournemouth keeper. One goal changes everything.
GOAL! Leeds 0-2 Tottenham (Porro 47)
It’s all over for Leeds and Sam Allardyce surely. Kane does wonderfully to beat Cooper in midfield then slips the ball through to Pedro Porro, who crashes the ball home.
GOAL! Southampton 3-2 Liverpool (Sulemana 48)
The bottom club have come from 2-0 down to lead at St Mary’s! And it’s a terrific goal, Sulemana bursting from his own half and curling home in style.
Off we go again then: 45 minutes for Everton, Leicester and Leeds to save themselves if they can.

A big second half required at Goodison.
Half-time: Leeds 0-1 Tottenham
Leeds have been pushing as the break approached but they need a miracle in the second half.
