Rice a suitable match winner for Arsenal
Declan Rice was the match winner of Arsenal against Newcastle. His goal, curled out of reach of Nick Pope from the edge of the box in amazing style, effectively guaranteed second place.
The 26-year-old is demonstrably the best player of Arsenal in a difficult season, his most important rival was goalkeeper David Raya, whose rescues Newcastle kept remotely in the first half.
Raya provided the platform for the victory, but Rice took care of it. His goal was his ninth of the campaign in all competitions. There have been another 10 assists. He has been a revelation in the role of No. 8 and he can be expected to stay there next season.
Only Bukayo Saka has a higher combined total of goals and helps this period with Arsenal players and although more firepower is needed, the club can approach the summer transfer window, knowing that they still have a formidable attacking weapon in rice.
However, what makes him special is that he continues to offer so much more. Rice is pushed forward by Arteta, but he also remains of great importance from possession.
He showed all sides of his match against Newcastle. Another striking display in a season full of them. Nick Wright
Everton Give Goodison the broadcast it deserves
Everton's 2-0 victory over the already related Southampton was the suitable broadcast that their 133-year-old stadium earned.
Players from both the past and the present were present in Goodison Park to say goodbye, but it is the future where this team can now look ahead in the Hill Dickins Stadium next season.
From the fans who flood the streets in the early hours of the morning, to Captain Seamus Coleman who led his team to the Grand Old Lady one last time. Emotions ran high from start to finish.
His return lasted only 17 minutes, but the exit allowed Ashley Young to say goodbye to the Toffees fans prior to his approaching exit, while Abdoulaye Doucoure wiped tears away when he was replaced by his future still unsolved.
Moyes told his players to end their connection with the stadium on a high and Iliman Ndiaye's Double, that took care of that. Now a summer of change is approaching if they want to continue this momentum. Patrick Rowe
Isak missed when Newcastle was beaten
Newcastle proved against Arsenal that, despite major artists, including Bruno Guimaraes, Dan Burn and Sandro Tonali, the Alexander Isak is crucial for the success of the team.
The Magpies did not succeed this season to win one of the four Premier League matches in which Isak has been absent.
They go from the average of two goals per match as a team when he starts, to score one in four without him – and that was a penalty.
Eddie Howe then played the meaning of his absence and spoke the quality of their collective performance in the first half in the Emirates Stadium, but they are not the same side without him. Sam Blitz
Tandless West Ham plays in the hands of the forest
West Ham's lack of advanced attack is classic Graham Potter.
During his time to manage in the Premier League, his teams of being easily accused of being an eye, but easy to defend against after that was the control film of the midfield manager. That could be seen during this newest underwhelming version at the London Stadium.
The hammers placed 16 shots in the direction of the forest goal, but have only collected a total expected goals of 0.9. This indicates a huge problem with creating quality opportunities. The goal they were given by Jarrod Bowen was a moment of individual sparkle and was their only hope to break past a forest defense that was vulnerable in the last 12 games.
This was their best defensive performance for 10 games according to the defensive statistics, but you would claim that it was more to West Ham's toothless Attacking Play instead of Forest that did a little too special in Defense. Lewis Jones
Silva remains underestimated as always
Marco Silva did not have to mention articles he had read prior to Fulham's victory in Brentford, who ignored the opportunities for the European competition this season.
He decided to make a point in his press conference after the game; It was partly the classic mentality of the US-back-theme, but partly truth.
“They have forgotten a team that is fighting very hard this season and is playing really good football this season,” he said. He's not wrong.
The Cottagers have already broken their own Premier League record record, with a competition over. Beyond the Halcyon days of the UEFA Cup finalists from Roy Hodgson, in an era in which success without significant expenses is more difficult than ever.
All this with the 34-year-old Raul Jimenez who leads the border, lost a net profit for signing sessions this season and their best two players, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Joao Palinha, in successive summers.
Silva has had to get the best out of his players and herself to reach this point and has demonstrated that fact with the immediate influence of his first two second half of replacements in Brentford.
Tom Cairney and Harry Wilson both lay out to elevate their hope for European football next season. Whether Silva will be in the dugout if that flourishes is another question – teams can only admire the work he does for so long in West London.
Wonderful Williams so strong for Bos
In terms of consistency, reliability and delivering high-quality defensive performance, you would be hard to be pushed to find a better full-back this season than Neco Williams.
He is one of the rocks in the heart of this forest -like backline that could still take to the Champions League next season. It is now 23 consecutive Premier League matches that Williams started with opposition files that have rarely made some change in Welshman. His battle with Vladimir Coufal along the forest on the left was fascinating to watch the Hammers Wing-Back who wanted to go out for the club in his last performance.
Williams made a large eight tackles in the game, most of each player, won seven of them and won 12 of his 16 duels. That is the beauty of Williams, it changes 50-50 tackles to 75-25 that are to his advantage. He is one of the many uncomfortable heroes in that forest team. Lewis Jones
Chelsea a step away from Champions League
There was a party atmosphere after the full -time whistle for the last time on Stamford Bridge this season. The owners of Chelsea are only one victory away from their first Champions League qualification after more than £ 1 billion issued and three coaches dismissed.
Behdad Eghbali, co-founder of Clearlake Capital, and co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley were enjoyed the moment with players and staff after the victory was sealed. How different it could have been if there was still a slip.
Chelsea did not find it so easy that others had United in the competition and without suspended striker Nicolas Jackson, it was not always clear that the breakthrough would come as Tyrique George, 19, in his first league match.
The tension was built around the stadium – and only grew when the victory of Villa was attached to Spurs – until the skipper came up with the moment of sparkle that was necessary to break the impasse, after he had hit a pole with an excellent strike in the first half.
Seventy minutes had passed when Reece James Pirouetted on the edge of the box before he chose Marc Cucurella freely in the box. His seventh goal of the season, a nice header back on the goal, has a plea to be his most important. Win at Nottingham Forest and it is mission complete.
Enzo Maresca will be as relieved as everyone else. Chelsea was the better team for a large part of the game, but the wait made life uncomfortable. The consequences of failure may have seen that the attention would turn to him. Instead, Eghali's presence on the field was just a footnote. Zinny Boswell
What are man utd good at?
Sky Sports Pundit Roy Keane said that Manchester United had been a shame this season in the Premier League before the start at Chelsea. This was not a shame. Not for the first time this season, Amorim's side has increased against a better side.
This was not a performance that managed to win in Manchester City in December in Manchester City. But with Amorim who warned his players, their starting point in Bilbao was possible, there was a clear improvement in defeat against West Ham.
United has laid a low bar this season. They succeeded in one pubic shot on goal, although in the game they were the winner of Marc Cucurella the 71st minute winner, with Amorim strong for the Europa League final.
Keane was not impressed by the falling standards in his former club. “They are not good at anything,” was his conclusion. It's hard to disagree. Every bad result seems to bring a new series of damn statistics.
18, for example, most defeats that the club has suffered in the competition since losing 20 games on the way to relegation in 1973/74, and they still have to hit 40 points, usually the target for teams to survive the drop.
Without the low quality of the promoted teams, Amorim would not have had the luxury of using this game as a means to play his silk in shape for the Europa League final.
United did not wait that long for a competition gain since the season Sir Alex Ferguson won the FA Cup in 1990. That trophy is often looked back as the one who saved him. There are parallels – at least with the shape.
Amorim does not seem to be in danger yet – even if he loses to track in Bilbao. But success in the final, apart from the financial reward that it entails, he feels crucial for him to take something positive in next season.
There is nothing that does this in the competition. Since the beginning of April, United has been the worst team in the top flight, which attracts two and lost six of their eight games.
In the last phases of the Europa League, they have undoubtedly seen their competition suffer at the time. But that excuse only really wears when the gamble pays off. All eyes on Wednesday. Zinny Boswell
