Manchester United and Newcastle will have to wait to secure a place in the Champions League for next season after Roberto Firmino kept Liverpool in the race with a late equaliser against Aston Villa.
Liverpool had put pressure on United and Newcastle by putting together a run of seven straight wins, but looked to be faltering against Aston Villa. United beat Bournemouth 1-0 in their 3pm kick-off on Saturday and appeared to be heading four points clear of Liverpool ahead of the Reds' final game of the season last weekend.
Jacob Ramsey's first-half goal, and Cody Gakpo's ruled-out equaliser, had Villa heading for a 1-0 win. But Firmino came off the bench to score from Mohamed Salah's cross in the 90th minute to ensure Liverpool still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four.
