Premier League LIVE: Latest Results, Final Standings, Who are 'Top-Four'

Remarkable run-ins from both Chelsea and Liverpool saw them take control of third and fourth place, while Leicester City endured a nightmare sense of deja vu.

Leicester twice squandered the lead to lose 4-2 at home to Tottenham on Sunday as their Champions League dream was shattered. Jamie Vardy converted two penalties to give the Foxes 1-0 and 2-1 leads and, with Chelsea losing at Aston Villa, that would have been enough for Leicester to claim fourth spot.

Elsewhere then, Manchester United's young guns held on to a 2-1 scoreline to deny Nuno Santo a farewell at Wolves to remember, while Steve Bruce ensured that Newcastle sent Fulham down to the Championship on a bum note in a 2-0 triumph.

Sheffield United meanwhile held on for a farewell 1-0 victory against Burnley, while West Ham confirmed their European place with a comfortable 3-0 win over Southampton.

Arsenal failed to qualify for European competition for the first time in 25 years after finishing in eighth place, a point behind north London rival Tottenham, despite beating Brighton 2-0.

Final 2020/21 Premier League Table

EICESTER QUALIFY FOR EUROPA LEAGUE, SPURS MAKE CONFERENCE LEAGUE

Result: Leicester 2-4 Spurs

An absolute last-act implosion from the Foxes means that their charge for the top four ends in disaster - but their loss means it is Tottenham's gain!

Spurs, with some late heroics from Gareth Bale, finish seventh and will take part in the first-ever Europa Conference League next season.

Harry Kane - who may not be here to see it - grins like he has just won the lottery. West Ham sit between them, after their victory over Southampton, and will play in the Europa League too.

CHELSEA QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Result: Villa 2-1 Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel's side lose at the last to Aston Villa - but they have still made the top four. They will not need to beat Manchester City next weekend to assure their spot at the high table.

They have only been saved by the work of Tottenham elsewhere however, and that will be a concern for the German. With that European date with destiny looming, he has to refocus his side.

LIVERPOOL QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Result: Liverpool 2-0 Palace

The Reds keep their place in the European top tier!

Jurgen Klopp's side triumph thanks to a Sadio Mane double, and send Roy Hodgson packing in his final game with Crystal Palace. Fears the old Anfield supremo could spring a nasty surprise were unfounded in the end.

Mohamed Salah and James Milner both look triumphant. It is a fantastic result to end a fantastic final charge.
