Liverpool have the ball in the net - but Raheem Sterling was offside.

Less than five minutes remain...

Geoff, Liverpool: If only that truly shocking offside decision against Sterling at the Etihad hadn't been given. That game would probably have ended in a draw. That three-point swing would mean a win against Newcastle would be enough for the title.

A pinpoint free-kick from Dwight Gayle, delivered into the bottom corner past David Stockdale.

Palace are safe in 11th as it stands and their fans are singing that they are going on the pitch at the end to celebrate.

Everton are looking very comfortable against Hull, who are struggling to create chances in the second half. 2-0 to the Toffees.

At St Mary's, Manchester United are pushing forward for a winner against Southampton but Roy Hodgson has seen enough. He's off home, determined to beat the traffic. 1-1.

Problems here. Is this a World Cup worry for the Ivory Coast? Yaya Toure hits a shot and immediately holds his right leg, grimacing as he does. He's still out there but doesn't look right.

Into the last few minutes.

Mikel Arteta's deflected free-kick gives Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy a chance to show off his soft-shoe shuffle, changing direction mid-dive to pounce on the ball as it threatens to trundle in. Arsenal lead 2-0, although Lukasz Fabianski has to be out sharply to block Robert Snodgrass's progress.

Daniel Agger heads wide from another cracking delivery from Steven Gerrard. Roy Hodgson will be delighted to see Daniel Sturridge leave the field early, completely uninjured and rested up for England duty.

Hugo, Birmingham: Is that the first time Spurs have scored within the first 15 minutes this season in the Premier League? Shocking stat, and no amount of goals today can avoid the fact this has been a shocking season.

Tyson Lever: We haven't won anything but the target at the start of the season was to get Champions League football, and we have achieved that and will now finish second. So in my eyes its been a very good season for Liverpool!

Peter Hall: That might have been fine at the start of the season, but not four games ago...

Michael McFadden: This has been by far the most entertaining season ever!

Samir Nasri started the party today for Manchester City and he almost has the encore too, drilling in a low shot which Adrian kicks away well with his feet. Yaya Toure has been quiet today - maybe it's time for a blockbuster from the Ivorian.

The Chelsea comeback is complete. Cardiff fail to clear a cross into the box and Andre Schurrle is on hand to head it forward and into the direction of Fernando Torres who rifles past David Marshall.

David Silva is given a hero's ovation as he leaves the field for the last 15 minutes or so. James Milner is on in his place. A painter and decorater on in place of Picasso.

Henry, Cambridge: First goal for Arsenal? Let's not forget the own goal of the century against Koln in 2011. Give Jenkinson the credit he deserves.

Arsenal fans may not recognise this substitute. No competition winner, it is Abou Diaby, absent for 14 months with a serious knee injury, making his first team return in place of Tomas Rosicky. His side are coasting 2-0 up to Norwich.

BBC Sport's David Ornstein at Anfield

"Liverpool might not win the title but they won't go out without a fight. That equaliser from Daniel Agger made it 100 league goals for the season - they've only ever done that once before, in 1895-96 - and the second from Daniel Sturridge lifts the roof off Anfield. The home fans repay their Newcastle counterparts for the earlier ribbing, and are given further ammunition when Shola Ameobi is shown a second yellow card on what might be his final Magpies appearance.

"Brendan Rodgers's name is currently ringing out around the ground and he turns to applaud all sides. The Reds will never forget this season."

An attack that had everything. First David Marshall makes a world-class, point-blank save from Cesar Azpilicueta, the Spaniard's follow-up hits the bar before Andre Schurrle drills in the third attempt on goal. Level pegging.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Etihad Stadium

"Little bit of a lull here before the final formalities are completed. The experience of David Silva and Yaya Toure have been crucial for Manchester City today but - at least until now - West Ham have barely raised a gallop. They have been desperately poor."

The Andy Carroll dream is over - he's replaced by Carlton Cole.
