Livermore keeps West Brom dream alive

If West Brom do go down, then they're certainly going down fighting as they grabbed an injury time winner against Tottenham at the Hawthorns to survive for another round of fixtures.

Jake Livermore popped up with the onyl goal of the game in the secon minute of injury time to send the baggies fans crazy as Darren Moore's remarkable impact since taking charge continued.

After beating Manchester United at Old Trafford and coming from two goals down to draw with Liverpool, Moore's men made it 11 points from five games with a win over Champions League hopefuls Tottenham.

The Baggies could still be relegated if Southampton win at Goodison park later on Saturday, but the result at the very leats saw them move off the bottom of the Premier League table.

The surprise defeat for Surs now sees Mauricio Pochettino's side casting nervous glances over their shoulders as they remain in fourth, a point behind Liverpool, and now five ahead of Chelsea, but with the Blues having a game in hand.

Everton leave it late and dash Saints dreams

Southampton moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 1-1 draw at Everton, who scored an equaliser deep in stoppage time.

Southampton could have sent West Brom down with victory at Goodison Park, which looked a realistic prospect after winger Nathan Redmond headed in after 56 minutes.

Defender Maya Yoshida was sent off for a second caution with five minutes left, and the Saints could not hold out as Tom Davies' deflected shot secured a point for Everton deep into stoppage time.

The point moves Southampton up into 17th on goal difference above Swansea, who they face on Tuesday.

Swansea stay in deep trouble

Swansea's shocking run of form continued as they went an eighth game without a win thanks to a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth thanks to Ryan Fraser's first half goal.

The Swans are playing a dangerous game at the bottom as they're just a point outside the relegation zone with two games left to play - against relegation rivals Southampton and already relegated Stoke.

With Stoke having been condemned to the drop earlier on Saturday, the Swans would have gone a long way to ensuring they do not take one of the remaining two spots by emerging from the Vitality Stadium with the three points, but they were undone by Ryan Fraser's first-half goal.

Carlos Carvalhal's men spurned several chances but their failings in front of goal meant they remained very much in the mire.

For Bournemouth it was a first win in six games and ensured they will definitely have a fourth successive season in the top flight.

West Ham can breath easy after Leicester win

The Hammers moved clear of danger with a 2-0 win at Leicester City, who look like a team firmly looking forward to their summer holidays as the season comes to a close.

Joao Mario gave David Moyes' side the lead just after the half hour mark, and th home side rarely looked like getting back into the game before skipper secured the three points with the second goal just after the hour.

Claude Puel's side went into the match having won just twice in their last 11 Premier League games, and the absence of nine players through injury and suspension did nothing to help Leicester, whose performance, on a hot afternoon, was lukewarm at best.

The win moved David Moyes' team six points clear of the bottom three and put a three-point cushion between Swansea and Huddersfield immediately below them.

Watford end winless run with Newcastle win

Roberto Pereyra and Andre Gray's goals eased pressure on manager Javi Gracia as Watford ended a seven-match winless run by dispatching Newcastle 2-1.

Fit-again captain Troy Deeney missed a penalty, with Magpies keeper Martin Dubravka making a fine double save, while Ayoze Perez's impressive finish came to nought for the visitors.

Former Malaga boss Gracia has already admitted he does not know whether he will still be Watford coach next season, given the Hornets' revolving door managerial policy.

Gracia only arrived in January, to become Watford's eighth manager in five years - but an 18-month contract carries precious little security.

The 48-year-old received a stirring show of support from his squad on Saturday however, as the Hornets held on for victory in their final Premier League home game of the season.
