Hello and welcome along to Monday's Football Daily. I'm Phil Egan. Coming up today, the curtain comes down on the Premier League season on a day that sees Spurs stay up and West Ham go down. We look ahead to the Dublin derby between Bows and Rovers at Daly Mount and could Lionel Messi miss the World Cup due to injury? But first today, Tottenham manager Roberto Deserbi hopes the club will never be in a final day relegation showdown again. We are Tottenham and we can't suffer like this until the last second of the last game.
to stay up. My target is to start the pre-season with the team I have in my dream.
After the game, Owen Doyle joined me on the final whistle and said that that game typified the Premier League season in general. Tottenham are safe. It wasn't pretty but they got the job done.
Yes, brutal game. First half, no shots on target at all from either side and neither keeper had anything to do really for the whole game until Kinski at the end there from George's shot. But first half, you had nothing in it at all. Tottenham did look like a treff, a half treff, I'd say, from set pieces. And obviously, saying this through the commentary, it has been the season of the set piece and that's where Pallegna comes up with the back stick. It's a great ball in from Tell towards that back post and obviously he just heads it off the post, comes back out to him. It's coming out of him so fast, it looks like it's nearly behind him as he hits it in with his left foot and just kind of goes over the line before Barry's able to clear it.
Yeah, and to be fair, they were the better team in the first half. They showed more intent, they had more possession, they had more efforts at goal, not at goal, but towards the goal I should say. But yeah, not a pretty game at all. Everything only showed up when I went to additional time there. He's probably had one opportunity. George came in from the left side on his right foot, beats Pedro Parra, comes in, tries to whip him into that far corner. Kinski, to be fair to him, had little to do all game. And for him, especially after what he's been through this season, to come up with a big moment like that and keep his side with the lead is important for him and obviously important for Tottenham.
What happened in the final day of the Premier League season?
They're after saving their season, I suppose, and make sure they're in the Premier League next year.
That result also meant, despite West Ham's 3-0 win over Leeds, they were relegated. Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo admits relegation is heartbreaking.
We had a tough mission. The boys tried it. Today we show again that things could be different for our future. It didn't happen, but at least we finished with dignity at our home. We played a good game, we win, but it doesn't take away the sadness.
Sunderland manager Regis Lebris expressed his pride after his side secured a spot in the Europa League next season. The Blackhats beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Stadium of Light and that win guaranteed a seventh place finish. It capped off a remarkable return to the top flight.
I think proud of the lads, proud of the atmosphere in the stadium, the connection we had once again today to create something special. We had to win and I think we were really focused on the way we wanted to play this game.
Chelsea finished in 10th and will be without European football next season under Xabi Alonso. Andoni, Iriola's Bournemouth drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest and narrowly missed out on the Champions League, so it'll be Europa League for the Cherries next season under new manager Marco Rosa. It was Iriola's last game in charge after three years.
We beat the club points record, we finished sixth, we got the Europa League. Obviously we were fighting today for the cherry on the cake, but City-Liverpool didn't help us. But still, we are celebrating and we should celebrate.
Brighton were beaten 3-0 by Manchester United at the Amex Stadium, but still managed to hold on to eighth position, and that means they've qualified for the Conference League next season.
