'Forest have to come out'published at 17:16 British Summer Time 25 May
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Chelsea
Ashley Williams
Former Wales defender on Final Score

Forest have to come out now and get a goal if they are going to try to get that Champions League place.
That may play into Chelsea's hands as they will have more room to play in.
Postpublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 25 May
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Chelsea

This goal seems to have knocked the stuffing out of Nottingham Forest as Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to come on against his former side.

Fulham 0-1 Man City

Harry Wilson gets in behind the Manchester City defence and his cut-back is diverted towards Andreas Pereira by a City defender.
The Fulham midfielder scuffs his shot on the edge of the box, though, and it's easily gathered by Ederson.

Lacroix is lucky there. Yes he tucks his arm but then he moves it towards the ball to block it. Seen them given.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Chelsea

Massive goal for Chelsea as Levi Colwill puts them ahead.
As it stands, Enzo Maresca's men will be playing Champions League football next season.
Nottingham Forest are heading for the Conference League.
Bad news for whoever finishes in eighth position as the goal at the City Ground cancels out any European football for either Brighton or Brentford.
'Pickford walked off with a big smile'published at 17:14 British Summer Time 25 May
Newcastle 0-0 Everton
John Bennett
BBC Final Score reporter at St James' Park

It’s getting really tense here and that’s credit to Everton who despite having nothing to play for are making this a real contest.
I’m sitting right behind the Newcastle dug out and Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall are even more animated than usual, in constant conversation about how to break down this resilient Everton side.
Everton’s Sunderland supporting keeper Jordan Pickford walked off at half-time with a big smile on his face, he’s been excellent and is loving this occasion.
GOAL - Ipswich 1-2 West Hampublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 25 May
Jarrod Bowen (55 mins)

A beauty from the West Ham captain!
A quick move from a throw-in. Bowen took it, exchanged the ball with both James Ward-Prowse and Aaron Wan-Bissaka before firing past Christian Walton from the edge of the penalty area.
A 13th goal of the season on his 200th career Premier League apperance.

'Easiest goal for Colwill'published at 17:14 British Summer Time 25 May
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Chelsea
Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at the City Ground

It's an empty net for Levi Colwill at the far post.
Matz Sels comes running out of his goal to close the angle down.
There's nobody around Colwill, it's one of the easiest goals he'll ever have to score.
CLOSE!published at 17:14 British Summer Time 25 May
Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

Bournemouth have done everything apart from put the ball in the back of the net as Antoine Semenyo lashes one over the top.
GOAL - Southampton 1-1 Arsenalpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 25 May
Ross Stewart (56 mins)

The Saints are level.
Ross Stewart rises highest to head past the despairing dive of David Raya.
No clean sheet for Raya today.
Incoming Southampton boss Will Still applauds in the crowd.

Man Utd 0-0 Aston Villa
Simon Stone
BBC Sport chief football news reporter at Old Trafford

Manchester United are onto their third right wing-back of the match.
Amad Diallo has now moved into that role, with Kobbie Mainoo alongside Mason Mount in the advanced position just behind Rasmus Hojlund.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 25 May
Man Utd 0-0 Aston Villa

Rasmus Hojlund has the ball in the back of the net.
But it won't count as he is clearly in an offside position while heading in from a Manchester United corner kick.

Southampton 0-1 Arsenal

Southampton have a free-kick on the edge of the box after Arsenal captain for the day Declan Rice brings down Ross Stewart.
Mateus Fernandes hits it straight into the wall.
What a waste.
GOAL - Ipswich 1-1 West Hampublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 25 May
Nathan Broadhead (52 mins)

Ipswich are level at Portman Road!
A poor touch from Niclas Füllkrug is picked off and Ipswich break.
Jens Cajuste teed up Broadhead, whose shot from the edge of the penalty area found its way past Lukasz Fabianski.

Levi Colwill

Champions League for Chelsea?!
The Chelsea fans behind the goal erupt as Pedro Neto's prod across goal misses everyone and there is Levi Colwill at the far post.
What now for Forest?

Newcastle 0-0 Everton

A VAR check at St James' Park as a cross fired in looked to hit Tino Livramento's on the way in.
It is checked while play continued and while there was contact, nothing is given.
GREAT SAVE!published at 17:10 British Summer Time 25 May
Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester

Marcus Tavernier looks to whip one into the top corner but there is the diving Jakub Stolarczyk with a stunning fingertip save.
GOAL - Tottenham 1-1 Brightonpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 25 May
Jack Hinshelwood (51 mins)

It's that man again, Jack Hinshelwood.
The introduction of Kaoru Mitoma has had an instant impact, with Brighton making a positive start to the second half.
The Japanese winger earns a corner on the left, which Brajan Gruda delivers to the near post. Jan Paul van Hecke's header falls at the feet of Hinshelwood, who pokes it into the roof of the net for his second goal in two games.

'Not much Lacroix can do'published at 17:10 British Summer Time 25 May
Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on BBC 5 Sports Extra Live at Anfield

It hits Maxence Lacroix arm, but it's by his side. There's not much Lacroix can do. I don't think it's a penalty.
