The indomitable David Raja and the brilliant Declan Rice gave Arsenal a victory worthy of second place in the Premier League table - it was enough for the London team to avoid drama in the final round of the battle for a place in the Champions League.

The Gunners defeated Newcastle 1-0 at the Emirates. the only scorer was Rice, but he is the hero of the Raj because he saved four shots from his rivals in the first 20 minutes...

And he kept Arsenal calm ahead of the final 90 minutes in which five teams are competing for three more spots in Europe's elite for the 2024/25 season.

Among them are the "Magpies", but also Nottingham Forest, which has come back to life after three matches without a triumph.

The Foresters defeated West Ham 2-1 at the Olympic Stadium in London - they led 2-0 for a long time with goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenkovic, and the final score was set by Jarrod Bowen before goalkeeper Mac Sells saved the visitors.

Forest welcome their direct rivals for the Top 5 - Chelsea - in the final round, Newcastle host Everton, while Aston Villa travel to Old Trafford.

Manchester City is in the best position, as they still have to play the match of the 37th round (they meet Bournemouth at the Etihad on Tuesday), and in the last round they play away to Fulham...

Whatever happens, one thing is certain - there will be drama that only the Premier League can direct in the crucial 90 minutes.

There was a lot of emotion in Leicester as Jamie Vardy played his last game at the King Power Stadium.

The legendary Foxes striker from his championship days made sure the match against Ipswich was truly historic. His team won 2-0, with Vardy scoring in the 28th minute - so in his 500th game in the blue jersey he scored his 200th goal.

The final score was set by Casey McAteer with twenty minutes to go. Leicester had already been relegated to the Championship, along with Ipswich and Southampton.
