It took just 15 minutes for Chelsea to get their noses in front with Cole Palmer reacting quickest to meet a loose ball in the West Ham box. West Ham almost hit back immediately when Jarrod Bowen's header crashed back off the crossbar, but it was one-way traffic from then on. Chelsea doubled their lead on the half-hour mark through Conor Gallagher before Noni Madueke headed in the third six minutes later. Nicolas Jackson struck twice in the second half to round off a wholly positive afternoon for the Blues. With just three games left to play, Chelsea's season seems to be heading for a strong finish as they have climbed up to seventh and sit just two points shy of sixth-placed Newcastle, while West Ham, who have two games remaining, stay ninth. After a rocky first season under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea are starting to click and European football could still be on the agenda for next season if they keep up this momentum. The Blues have won nine of their past 11 home Premier League outings and they are now on a four-game winning streak at Stamford Bridge, having beaten Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham and now West Ham. They seem to be playing with greater confidence and it bodes well for the next term. An assured finish into the the bottom right corner from Palmer set Chelsea on their way, taking his tally in the league to 21. Captain Gallagher's strike was equally as impressive as he volleyed emphatically across the target to leave Alphonse Areola rooted to the spot. The game was pretty much over as a contest by the 36th-minute when Madueke found space in the six-yard box to turn in Thiago Silva's knockdown. Jackson further tightened Chelsea's grip on all three points shortly after half-time and he showed great composure when rolling in the fifth after beating the offside trap late on. Chelsea were not asked too many questions defensively but Pochettino will also be pleased to see his side record back-to-back clean sheets in the league for the first time since February 2023.

Carlo Ancelotti's side eased to a 3-0 win over Cadiz earlier on Saturday which meant the Catalan club had to win at the Estadi Montilivi. Barcelona led 2-1 at half-time, but three second-half goals from Girona left Real with an unassailable lead at the summit with four matches of the season remaining. Los Blancos have lost just one league game this season and could potentially finish the campaign with 99 points which would be their second-highest total ever. It is Ancelotti's second La Liga title as Real coach having previously won it in 2021-22. Real have now won nine more titles than the 27 held by Barcelona. The 14-time European Cup winners face Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final having drawn 2-2 at the Allianz Arena.

Wales international Wes Burns gave them a first-half lead, which was doubled by Omari Hutchinson early in the second with a shot from the edge of the box. Only needing one point at kick-off to be sure of promotion, Kieran McKenna’s side were focused on doing it in style and much of the game was one-way traffic towards the Huddersfield goal. The result also confirmed that the Terriers, a Premier League side themselves as recently as 2019, will go down to League One for the first time for 12 years. Ipswich finish the season on 96 points – just one fewer than champions Leicester - and become the first team since Southampton in 2011-12 to go from the third tier to the first in successive seasons. McKenna is only the fifth Ipswich manager to win promotion to the top flight, following Alf Ramsey - later Sir Alf - in 1961, Bill McGarry in 1968, John Lyall in 1992 and George Burley in 2000 – the latter doing so via the play-offs.

With no margin for error following Arsenal's earlier victory over Bournemouth, City delivered the perfect response. City were given a helping hand they did not need thanks to a favourable 12th-minute penalty decision from referee Craig Pawson. Haaland sent Wolves keeper Jose Sa the wrong way, then beat the Portuguese from the spot again just before the break after he had been brought down by Nelson Semedo. In between, the striker had scored with a superb far-post header, climbing to an amazing height unchallenged at the far post, to send Rodri's cross back across goal and into the corner. A minute after Hwang Hee-chan had pulled one back for the visitors, Haaland struck again, powering onto Phil Foden's brilliant lofted pass. It took the Norwegian onto 25 Premier League goals for the season and five clear of Alexander Isak and Cole Palmer in the Golden Boot standings. Julian Alvarez finished off the scoring five minutes from time to leave City a point behind Arsenal, but now with three games remaining to the Gunners' two.
