Leicester Secure Survival, Hull in relegation zone

Leicester secured Premier League survival while Newcastle and Hull were defeated at QPR and Tottenham respectively.

With Hull losing at Spurs and Newcastle at QPR, Nigel Pearson’s Leicester needed only a draw on Wearside to complete a remarkable surge to safety.

Already relegated QPR said goodbye to their home fans for the season, coming from behind to edge Newcastle 2-1 at Loftus Road – leaving John Carver’s side without a win in their last 10 league games.

Emmanuel Riviere fired the visitors before half-time, but Matt Philips and Leroy Fer scored either side of the hour mark to secure victory for Chris Ramsey’s side.

Nacer Chadli and Danny Rose were on target for Mauricio Pochettino’s side – scoring in the 54th and 61st minutes respectively after a tough first half.

Burnley, who are certain to play Championship Football next term, battled Stoke at Turf Moor to a goalless draw that gave Sean Dyche’s men a standing ovation after a valiant bid for a second season in the top flight top.

Everton overcame hosts West Ham with a 2-1 win at Upton Park despite falling behind to a Stewart Downing goal in the first hour.

Roberto Martinez’s side responded quickly and Leon Osman restored parity with an assured finish before Romelu Lukaku rose in stoppage time to snatch all three points.

Earlier in the day, Southampton striker Sadio Mane made history against Aston Villa at St Mary’s as he rattled in the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history – netting in the 12th, 13th and 16th minutes to eclipse Robbie Fowler’s record.

Shane Long also scored twice before the break and although Christian Benteke pulled one back, Graziano Pelle completed the scoring in the second half to add sparkle to Ronald Koeman’s side.
