    Arsenal 2-0 Everton

    I think I'll probably stop telling you about the goals at Vicarage Road. Manchester City are winning. End of.

    Scramble! Ross Barkley is in there, so is Romelu Lukaku. It's pinging off red shirts before Petr Cech finally dives on the ball.

    At Anfield, Liverpool look very nervous...

    Well this is getting embarrassing for Watford.

    Manchester City don't care. They are assured of Champions League football next season. There, we have said it.

    Sergio Aguero drills in his second of the afternoon after another lightning quick City counter. David Silva sets Leroy Sane galloping down the left flank, the young German cutting the ball back to Aguero who converts from around the penalty spot.

    Over to Liverpool and Arsenal to scrap it out for fourth then...

    It's noisy inside the Emirates. A bit of belief?

    Imagine if Arsenal finish fourth and win the FA Cup. They'll have had a better season than Spurs, right?

    Forget finishing third, though...

    Andy Evans: If Arsenal finish 4th we'll look forward to mediocrity & a squad favouring capitulation when it matter most. We need change.

    Remind me which team has had a man sent off? Arsenal are stroking it around like they have 12 men on the field. The crowd are right into it too. Imagine if Boro sneak a goal at Anfield...

    This isn't just flip-flops stuff from Everton - it's factor 15 and ordering a round of beers from the beach bar. They have been absolutely shocking.

    GOAL - Arsenal 2-0 Evertonpublished at 27 mins

    Alexis Sanchez

    The 10 men are 2-0 up!

    It's a bizarre, bizarre goal, with Everton playing statues in their own box. An Alexis Sanchez shot is defleted, Danny Welbeck collects the ball near the six-yard box and apparently has some sort of invisible force-field around him. All the time in the world to square for Sanchez, who taps in.

    Now then, what about this? Ross Barkley is on to replace Tom Davies. Is that in response to Arsenal having a man sent off?

    Sergio Aguero

    Game over. Third place...over?

    Irresistible stuff from Manchester City who appear to have put this game to bed.

    Kevin de Bruyne saunters forward on the counter after a Watford mistake, slipping Sergio Aguero in through on goal.

    He doesn't miss these. Head down, shot drilled, bottom corner. That's goal number 32 for the season.

    Arsenal 1-0 Everton

    Arsenal have reshuffled, with Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal slipping deeper into full-back roles.

    At Anfield, the Middlesbrough goal is a target for shooting practice, but the visitors have just had a decent shout for a penalty.

    Arsenal's fans gave Laurent Koscielny a standing ovation as he made his way off - but that is little consolation as he now misses the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

    And despite a few jeers there can be no complaints. It was reckless and late and the outcome was inevitable.

    Oh, and just in case you're wondering, Laurent Koscielny will be banned for the FA Cup final, unless Arsenal appeal. Which they shouldn't bother doing.

    What is going on out there? Enner Valencia through, tugged back by Granit Xhaka. That could have been another red, but nothing given...

    Koscielny didn't complain too much, he actually stuck around on the pitch to make sure that Valencia was OK. Ross Barkley was warming up, but Valencia is OK...

    Arsenal 1-0 Everton

    Good lord.

    This is a shocker, not only for the challenge, but also what it does in the race for the top four.

    Laurent Koscielny sees straight red for an awful tackle on Enner Valencia. The Everton man down the right, Koscielny diving in off the ground, studs first, trailing leg coming through.

    Incredible.

    That table looks the way it does because Liverpool are being held at home by Middlesbrough. Plenty of time to go in that one, mind.

    Everton have recovered somewhat. At least they are getting the odd touch of the ball...
