Fulham host Manchester City on the final day of the season, but Brighton can end the Cottagers’ hopes of an eighth-place finish on Monday if they beat champions Liverpool at Amex Stadium.
Had City beaten Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday and gone on to finish in the top six, the team that came eighth would have qualified for next season’s Uefa Conference League.
However, that team will
Blackburn Rovers produced a spirited second-half fightback to force a 2-2 draw against Sheffield Wednesday and pick up a second point for manager Valerien Ismael.
A dismal first-half effort from Rovers saw them go in two goals down with Yan Valery and Djeidi Gassana on the scoresheet and saw them booed off with a sixth straight loss looming.
But they emerged unrecognisable from their first-half performance, piling on the pressure
Aston Villa survived a stirring Nottingham Forest comeback to boost their Champions League hopes.
Villa looked in total control against Forest, lying third in the Premier League, when quick-fire goals from Morgan Rogers and Donyell Malen gave them a 2-0 lead after only 15 minutes.
Rogers ran clear to score with a composed finish before Malen timed his arrival in the six-yard area perfectly to turn in Ian Maatsen’s
Oxford boss Gary Rowett, speaking to BBC Radio Oxford:
“I’m really angry if I’m being honest because, quite frankly, we’ve thrown the game away. That’s how it feels.
“It felt like an incredible opportunity, at 1-0, to win the game. It took a lot of hard work to get there. I don’t think we necessarily started as well as we wanted to, we were a little bit passive early in
Leicester produced a stunning comeback to maintain new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy’s unbeaten start in an enthralling draw with Brighton.
After falling two goals behind in the second half, captain Jamie Vardy halved the deficit in the 86th minute with a trademark finish for his sixth goal of the season.
The drama did not end there as substitute Bobby De Cordova-Reid netted his first of the campaign in added time
Both teams are dealing with life without their biggest goal threats of recent seasons, with Brentford having sold Ivan Toney and Bournemouth losing Dominic Solanke.
However, Brentford have had little trouble replacing Toney’s goals.
Coming into Saturday’s game, only three teams had scored more in the Premier League than the Bees (17), with both Bryan Mbeumo and Wissa among the league’s top 11 scorers.
Brentford appear to have undergone a
Wolves have two points from a possible 27 but have played all the top-seven teams in the table.
They now have a run of fixtures where they will be looking to build momentum and climb out of the bottom three.
Fellow strugglers Crystal Palace visit Molineux next Saturday (17:30 GMT) before Wolves host bottom club Southampton the following week.
O’Neil will be targeting back-to-back wins in those two games,
Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney told BBC Radio Devon:
“I’m angry really. That performance is nowhere near good enough.
“For an hour of that game it didn’t look like us at all. We were easy to play against, we weren’t putting tackles in, we weren’t getting to the ball.
“I’m obviously pleased to get a point out of the game, but I can’t accept that performance.
“There have been games
There was no shortage of commitment from Leicester, but the Foxes – who improved in the second half and could have snatched a late equaliser – ultimately paid the price for a slow start.
Had it not been for goalkeeper Hermansen, Villa would have been out of sight by half-time.
After twice denying Watkins, the Dane almost gifted the striker an opener when he let Caleb Okoli’s pass slip under
