Manchester City maintained a one-point Premier League lead over Liverpool with four games to go after seeing off Leeds 4-0 on Saturday as Norwich were relegated after a 2-0 loss at Aston Villa. Earlier, Liverpool had moved to the top of the table with a 1-0 win at Newcastle thanks to Naby Keita's first-half goal.

Five changes each

Both the title contenders each made five changes with tricky away trips sandwiched between both legs of their Champions League semi-finals. City boss Pep Guardiola could afford the luxury of not even calling on Kevin De Bruyne as the champions kept the fate of the title race in their own hands. Rodri headed home Phil Foden's free-kick on 13 minutes to settle any City nerves. Nathan Ake then turned home Ruben Dias' knockdown as the visitors struck again from a set piece early in the second-half.

Jesus scores

Gabriel Jesus kept his fine scoring form going with a thumping finish 12 minutes from time before Fernandinho rounded off the scoring in stoppage time. "It's not about the pressure - it's simple," said Guardiola. "We have to win all our games to be champions. If we don't, Liverpool will be champions."

Norwich relegated

Norwich are heading back to the Championship after just one season in the top flight after goals from Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings sealed their fate on manager Dean Smith's return to Villa Park. "I'm disappointed with our result," said Canaries captain Grant Hanley. "It is probably fair, we haven't been good enough this season."

Everton earn 1-0 win over Chelsea

Everton kept alive their hopes of Premier League survival by beating Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday. Cesar Azpilicueta was pressured into losing possession and Brazilian forward Richarlison swept a shot past goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the 47th minute.
