Tottenham have beaten Everton 1-0 to retain their Premier League status and relegate West Ham to the Championship.

Joao Palhinha’s goal two minutes before half-time was enough for victory Spurs, rendering West Ham’s 3-0 home win against Leeds irrelevant.

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Brentford to seal Champions League football next season; Sunderland’s 2-1 win over Chelsea earned them a Europa League place in a fine top-flight return, alongside Bournemouth.

Brighton will play in the Europa Conference League and there were emotional goodbyes for a number of players and managers, including Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and Liverpool forward Mo Salah.

After five years at the club, Marco Silva is reaching the end of his contract at Fulham and has been linked with Portuguese side Benfica.

The head coach was not biting on his future after his side’s deserved 2-0 win against Newcastle, but did say there would be a resolution on his position within the next week:

💬 “At this moment, being honest with you, I have not decided. If I had made my decision, I would say. If I haven’t announced anything and the club hasn’t announced anything, it’s only because we haven’t decided.

“I don’t like to play games. It’s going to be next week for sure. The next few days we are going to sit down again.”

On Fulham’s performance, Silva added:

💬 “It was important for us to end this way and give the fans something back, for them to have this feeling. We deserved to win.

“This place has been a fortress for us and it has been another very positive season for Fulham.”

And Mikel Arteta admitted there were times when he felt like he wasn’t the right man to finally end Arsenal’s recent wait to lift the Premier League title.

💬 “There are doubts and understanding that maybe you’re not the right person to do the final job. But thank god we did it. I feel a lot of joy and a little bit of relief as well.

“I can’t control certain things, it’s out of your hands and at that time you need the best people around you ... to say ‘we are going to do it, and we are going to do it with you’.

“You raise your level based on who you are against, the best team in the history of this competition, the best manager in my opinion in the world. To do it in those circumstances ...

“We have an opportunity to write new history in our club and I’m convinced we’re going to do it.”

Mikel Arteta spoke on Sky Sports after Arsenal’s Premier League trophy lift at Selhurst Park, and he was beaming with delight.

💬 “It was beautiful. Look at the joy of all the people. They have been waiting so long, they deserve it. It’s all worth it when you see that kind of reaction.

“Now it’s time to enjoy, to take the manager hat off and enjoy it with them. We showed an incredible connection, an incredible commitment, and incredible courage. Everything that was around us was fuel to go and do it.

“We have an incredible ownership who has been through tough times. They have incredible values, they know the sport better than anyone here. They committed themselves to a project which has now been delivered.”

Tottenham win 1-0, stay up and now the whole squad and staff and Roberto De Zerbi are on the pitch in front of the South Stand.

This is one of the happiest, loudest and most unified I have ever heard this place. Funny old game!

The thing that’s really breaking my brain is that if you strip away literally all the context, they’ve basically ended up where they were this time last year against Brighton.

Everyone happy, singing, clapping the team, the stadium still full long after full time, vibes off the chart.

Lots to say but to start with the obvious: De Zerbi took over a squad with shattered confidence, ripped apart by injuries and after Sunderland they took 11 points from their last six.

That is a triumph of management in the circumstances.

Andoni Iraola has conducted his final Bournemouth press conference with a massive grin on his face.

He admits he was keeping an eye on the Manchester City and Liverpool games in the hope Bournemouth would end up in the Champions League, but there is enormous pride at a Europa League place: a first continental campaign in Bournemouth’s history.

Iraola is especially keen to praise his side’s 18-game unbeaten run and the fact that over the second half of this season, they have stayed unbeaten against all 19 Premier League opponents.

Bournemouth played Chelsea for the second time before they played Arsenal for the first time, a quirk of the fixture schedule that stops that being a 19-game unbeaten run as they lost against the Champions on January 3.

Iraola beamed:

💬 “I feel so, so happy. So happy, because I cannot ask for much more.”

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi spoke to Sky Sports after the match and hailed his players.

💬 “We have a lot of big players and big guys. You can see in the game today, they played a fantastic game with the ball.

“They played maybe their best game in my time here, you can imagine how big the personality of my players is.

“An incredible game. They deserve everything football gave them today. Football is nice because if you give your best, football gives you back everything.

“At the end of the game, I suffered a lot. My life is so nice because there is the pressure of football.”
