Premier League: Liverpool and Chelsea qualified for the next Champions League

The last day of the championship was also particularly well attended across the Channel.

If Manchester City had already won a title that had been promised to them for several weeks, the battle was raging between the contenders for a qualification for the next Champions League.

With the runner-up Manchester United having already qualified, three clubs were vying for the last two places on the 38th day: Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester.

And it is ultimately the latter who paid the price for this fierce struggle, just days after his coronation in the FA Cup final against ... Chelsea.

The scenario was cruel for the Foxes.

Shortly after the quarter of an hour of play, the illustrious Jamie Vardy opened the scoring on penalty then Harry Kane equalized just before half-time: the English striker thus scored his 23rd goal of the season in the Premier League which allowed him to finish at the top of the scorers standings.

Back from the locker room, Vardy puts his people in front with a second penalty.

Leicester was then fourth in the Premier League, tied on points with Liverpool who led without difficulty against Crystal Palace and consolidated their place on the podium (2-0).

Leicester relegated to the Europa League

The stampede occurs in the last quarter of an hour of play. On a vicious corner from Son, goalkeeper and captain Kasper Schmeichel is clumsy and deflects the ball into his own goal: the Spurs equalize! With five minutes from the end of regulation time, Gareth Bale gave the advantage to Tottenham and even offered himself a brace in the last seconds of added time. Final score: 4-2 for Londoners.

This turnaround relegates Leicester to the Europa League after the club had spent much of the season in the top 4. At the same time, Chelsea's defeat on the lawn of Aston Villa (2-1) did not therefore had no impact on the fate of the Blues who won the last qualifying place for the next Champions League. For its part, Tottenham snatched its ticket for the Europa Conference Conference at the hands of Arsenal who held it for a few minutes thanks to its victory against Brighton (2-0).
