The curtain fell on the 2019-2020 Premier League season, and the last 38 round was filled with excitement and power between teams seeking European qualification and those trying to escape landing.
Liverpool, who clinched the title several weeks ago, beat Newcastle, finishing the league with 99 points, while runner-up Manchester City overwhelmed Norwich - who had been confirmed as relegating for weeks - with a heavy 5-0 defeat.
Manchester United and Chelsea got the two Champions League qualification cards next season with the champion and runners-up, after United beat Leicester City 2-0, and by the same result Chelsea beat Wolverhampton, who qualified for the European League.
