Liverpool kept their slim title hopes alive with a 4-2 win at home to Tottenham on Sunday, which also just-about ended their rivals' hopes of playing in next season's Champions League.
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson put Liverpool 2-0 up at halftime, with Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott doubling their lead before the hour, and although goals from Richarlison and Son Heung-min made it 4-2 with 13 minutes to play, Liverpool held on.
Chelsea have given themselves a fighting chance of qualifying for Europe next season with a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United.
Mauricio Pochettino's side followed their midweek win over Tottenham with another convincing display, with Cole Palmer opening the scoring in the 16th minute, before goals from Conor Gallagher and the impressive Noni Madueke assured the win before halftime.
West Ham coach David Moyes looks as if he is leaving the club at the end of the season and two further goals from Nicolas Jackson in the second half after 48 and 80 minutes completed the rout.
Brighton, who dominated the possession and chances in the game, but had to wait until the 87th minute when Joao Pedro scored a rebound after his penalty had originally been saved by Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen.
