On a day devoid of surprises, Manchester City won the league with a 2-0 home stroll past West Ham, rendering Liverpool's come-from-behind 2-1 win over Newcastle as academic as Chelsea's come-from-behind 2-1 win at already-relegated Cardiff, Arsenal's steady 2-0 win at newly-relegated Norwich and Everton's steady 2-0 win at nearly-relegated Hull.
Tottenham's 3-0 home win over Aston Villa meant that Manchester United couldn't claim that last Europa League spot - but the outgoing champions wouldn't have done anyway, as they limped to a 1-1 draw at Southampton. Stoke confirmed ninth place with a 2-1 win at West Brom and their old boss Tony Pulis's Crystal Palace shared four goals with Fulham, while Swansea's win at Sunderland meant that not one game was won by a lower-placed team.
