1. Manchester United 1 Vs Aston Villa: Players don’t care about their clubs anymore

Aston Villa were relegated from the Premier League for the first time since 1992 but the reaction of their players all through the season have been disgraceful.

Villa players are the prototype of 90% of footballers in the game right now. There are just mercenaries who don’t care about the club, its tradition and fans. They are just there for the money. You see them on social media flaunting their expensive cars, jewelries and plush wardrobes.

Villa players this season played like they don’t really care about the club, maybe they don’t. Now they are relegated, most of these players will be jumping ship to another club to continue their money grabbing adventure.

Fans have to deal with their team going down a division, many losing their jobs at the club while the players move on with their lives.

2. Newcastle United 3 Vs Swansea 0: Perfect job for Rafa Benitez

Newcastle United got a huge win in their relegation fight by beating Swansea 3-0. The home win could kick-off a great run of form for the Magpies which could see them avoid going down.

With Rafa Benitez, they have a man who is finely suited for the job. The Spaniard has finally landed the perfect job. Rafa loves working from the underdog position and with Newcastle he could make a mark by keeping them in the Premier League and making them a stable league team.

3. Chelsea 0 Vs Manchester City 3: Too late for the new Citizens

City blew Chelsea apart at Stamford Bridge to continue their rich vein of form. After progressing to the Champions League semi-final for the first time in their history, the Citizens are finally showing the form that is expected of them.

After a blip in form experienced after Pep Guardiola was announced as their next coach, the team have finally settled and playing the best football of their season.

Unfortunately for them, the form is coming too late for a league title challenge.

4. Bournemouth 1 Vs Liverpool 2: Klopp finally getting through

Liverpool recorded a fine away win at Bournemouth to continue their recent form. The team it appears is beginning to look like a Jurgen Klopp tutored side.

The intensity and pace, Kloop is known to instill in his players until now have only been evident when Liverpool played top teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.

They have not been able to replicate these, every game. The current Liverpool players are not Klopp’s players but it seems they are beginning to get the message of their manager.

From their 4-1 win over Stoke City last match and this win over Bournemouth sandwich between that massive and thrilling 4-3 win over Klopp’s former side, Borussia Dortmund have shown us a glimpse of what the manager can achieve with his own players.

5. Leicester City 2 Vs West Ham 2: Foxes strength very impressive

Leicester City showed why there are about to lift the Premier League trophy for the first time in their history.

After a red card was shown to Jamie Vardy, Leicester City conceded two goals against West Ham and it was nearly a loss.

At this stage in the league, a loss for Leicester would have been very damaging and demoralizing for the Foxes, but they bounced back to earn a draw.

Some may argue that they were a bit lucky with the penalty decision that gave them the equaliser but to win the league you also need luck.

Remember in the first half when the ball hit the post twice on both ends with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel beaten.

It is written in the stars already, Leicester City are 2016 Premier League champions.
