Everton survive, Leeds and Leicester go down and Aston Villa reach Europe on dramatic final day of Premier League season

The final day of the Premier League saw plenty of drama, even if the destination of the title had long been decided. The relegation battle was the centre of attention for most neutrals, and it did not disappoint. Ad Leeds United needed a win against Tottenham and for results elsewhere to go their way, but Harry Kane's second minute goal rather deflated the crowd at Elland Road.

Leicester City also kicked off the day in the drop zone but Harvey Barnes' first half goal put them temporarily above Everton. Wout Faes doubled the Foxes' advantage in the second half before Pablo Fornals pulled one back for the visitors, but the 2-1 Leicester victory was not enough.

That was because Abdoulaye Doucoure had smashed in a sensational winner for Everton against Bournemouth in the 57th minute, sending Goodison Park into ecstasy. The 1-0 win for Everton was enough to secure a 70th consecutive top flight season at Goodison Park. Aston Villa secured their first European campaign since the 2010-11 season with a 2-1 win over Brighton at Villa Park.

Villa, needing a win to confirm their place in the European Conference League in light of Spurs beating Leeds, made an impressive start. Jacob Ramsey played a delightful ball across the face of goal for Douglas Luiz to slide home Villa’s opener in the eighth minute. Ollie Watkins doubled Villa's lead in the 26th minute, passing his shot into an empty net after Jason Steele dove into the feet of Ramsey.
