It was a thrilling end to the Premier League season as Tottenham Hotspur dominated their match against Sheffield United, securing their spot in next season's Europa League. Meanwhile, Chelsea was left to anxiously await their fate, unsure of which competition they would be playing in.
Spurs only needed a draw to secure their place in the Europa League, and they wasted no time in securing their spot. The already-relegated Blades put up a good fight, but Tottenham took control of the game with a goal from Dejan Kulusevski in the 14th minute. They continued to dominate the match, ending the first half with 72% possession and several close attempts on goal.
While Chelsea was guaranteed a spot in European football next season, their specific competition was still up in the air. Their fate rested on the result of the upcoming FA Cup final. However, there was a glimmer of hope for the Blues when they took an early lead against Bournemouth, thanks to an incredible goal from Moises Caicedo.
But Chelsea's lead was short-lived as Bournemouth quickly equalized. The game was tense and both teams fought hard, but Chelsea ultimately came out on top with a 2-1 win, securing sixth place in the table. It was a remarkable turnaround for Chelsea, who had struggled in recent weeks.
Newcastle United also had a shot at securing a spot in the Europa League, but they needed a win against Brentford and for Chelsea to lose. Despite a strong performance from Brentford, Newcastle came out on top with a 4-2 win, securing seventh place in the table.
However, both Newcastle and Chelsea will have to wait until next weekend to learn their European fate. Manchester United, who finished outside the European places, still have a chance to secure a spot in the Europa League if they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final. If City win, seventh place will secure a spot in the Europa Conference League.
It was a tense and exciting end to the season, with all eyes now on the upcoming FA Cup final. The result of that match will determine which competitions Chelsea, Newcastle, and Manchester United will be playing in next season.
