It was an eventful Matchweek 25 in the Premier League over the weekend, as nearly every match is starting to play a crucial piece in the 4 races for positions going on all across the table:

the title race, currently contested by Liverpool, Manchester City, and Spurs, the top 4 race featuring Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal, the Europa League race contested by Wolves, Watford, Everton, Bournemouth, Leicester, and West Ham, and of course the race for safety down at the bottom which many sides are worrying about. The weekend was filled with thrilling matches, with the single one on Monday between Liverpool and West Ham rounding out the matchweek:

Spurs 1 Newcastle 0:
