Aston Villa and Chelsea entered the Champions League qualification zone with one game to go, albeit with one more game to play.
The "Lions" defeated Tottenham 2-0, the "Blues" were better than Manchester United 1-0 for fourth and fifth place in the Premier League table - ahead of Manchester City, who are one point behind with a game in hand. They will play at home against Bournemouth on Tuesday.
Unai Emery's team knew they had to celebrate and did not succumb to the pressure - the three points in the duel with Spurs were brought to them by goals from Ezra Konsa in the 59th minute and Boubacar Kamara in the 73rd minute.
Tottenham sent a B team to Villa Park, which was to be expected given that they face the Europa League final against Manchester United on Wednesday.
United, on the other hand, took the duel with Chelsea much more seriously, but had to accept defeat - an important triumph for Enzo Maresca's team was brought about by Mark Kukurela's goal about twenty minutes before the end.
