Arsenal made sure that Liverpool cannot obtain the title of Premier League on Sunday by winning a 4-0 victory to 10 men Ipswich, while Chelsea beat Fulham 2-1 to get in the places of the Champions League. Manchester United suffered a wooden mouth from their heroic Europa League against Lyon while the Wolves won 1-0 at Old Trafford to guarantee survival. Liverpool needs both an Arsenal defeat and beating Leicester later Sunday to seal a 20th record high flight record. The defeat puts an end to Ipswich’s hope to maintain his status as the Premier League because they are at 15 security points with five games to play and have a much lower goals than West Ham.
Freshly released from a famous victory over Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2009, Arsenal again touched a return to the elite competition of European football next season.
On Wednesday, Mikel Arteta brought only three changes compared to the 2-1 victory in the Spanish capital and was rewarded with a dominant display to kill the match in half an hour.
Leandro Trossard was one of those recalled by Arteta and produced in his eighth goal of the season to open the scoring.
A fluid movement saw the Bukayo Saka cross passed by Mikel Merino in the way to Gabriel Martinelli to finish to double the head of the Gunners.
A few moments later, Saka was shot down by a horrible challenge by Leif Davis who saw the left back of Ipswich showed a right red box.
Saka escaped serious injuries to the relief of the Arsenal support and should have extended the visitors’ advance with two large chances that he was wasted before the break.
However, the English international, who recently returned from an absence of four months due to an injury to the hamstrings, was replaced at the start of the second half to avoid other damages.
Trossard fired in his second corner after a well -worked corner before Ethan Nwaneri’s divert effort ended the scoring.
Neto at the rescue of Chelsea
Chelsea needed two late goals in Craven Cottage to relaunch their chances of football from the Champions League next season.
Alex Iwobi opened the scoring 20 minutes after Ryan Sessegnon exceeded Chelsea Reece James captain to install the Nigerian international.
Chelsea served towards a harmful defeat until the 19 -year -old replacement Tyrique George shoots in the edge of the box at 83 minutes.
Pedro Neto then finished the return with an astonishing strike in time of time to ensure the sixth victory of Chelsea in his last 17 championship games.
The blues move above Nottingham Forest, who goes to Tottenham on Monday, in the top five on the difference in goals.
A very changed Manchester United succumbed to an eighth defeat of the League at home.

The fifth consecutive victory of the Premier League of Wolves raises the side of Vitor Pereira until the 15th and level on points with United, which remains 14th on the difference in goals.
