Not all midweek football games had an end-of-season feel to them.
For one side it was a coronation.
For two others, it’s vital to keep alive Champions League qualification hopes.
Certainly enough to keep many sports betting fans interested.
You also excelled if your name is Sergio!
Chelsea 4-3 Watford FC
A seven goal thriller at the Bridge as Chelsea got their title party started with Cesc Fabregas scoring an 88th minute winner to ensure the celebrations did not fall a little flat.
There’ll be another one this weekend too when Antonio Conte may again make changes with an eye on the upcoming FA Cup Final.
Watford more than played their part here but didn’t quite have enough to enjoy a draw.
Arsenal 2-0 Sunderland
The fact it took 72 minutes for the Gunners to break the deadlock meant the majority inside the Emirates Stadium weren’t totally comfortable until much later in the evening.
Still, there was a certain inevitability about rock bottom Sunderland’s 25th league defeat, courtesy of a double from the Arsenal talisman Alexis Sanchez.
It will be interesting to see both when these two clubs next meet in the league and who will be in charge of both sides.
Manchester City 3-1 West Bromwich Albion
Sergio Aguero chose an ideal time to remind his employers why they would be mad to let him leave this summer.
The diminutive Argentinian played a part in all three goals as City rounded off their home league campaign with ease and said farewell to his fellow countryman, West Ham bound defender Pablo Zabaleta.
West Brom defended all night and, in truth, have had one eye on their summer holidays for weeks.
Southampton 0-0 Manchester United
An end-of-season encounter if ever there was one.
Perhaps there was an inevitability this would be a draw – given this was the Saints’ 10th and United’s 15th draw of the campaign.
An early home penalty, wrongly awarded, was saved by the excellent Sergio Romero. An Anthony Martial shot struck the post for the visitors as their players aimed to both impress, and avoid injury, in a bid to secure a place in the squad for next week’s Europa League Final.
