Football News: Man Utd, Chelsea book their 2020-21 UCL tickets

Manchester United and Chelsea booked their spots in next season's Champions League but it was relegation for Bournemouth and Watford, despite valiant efforts on the final day. United needed just a point at Leicester to secure a top-four finish but Bruno Fernandes' cool penalty and Jesse Lingard's late goal helped them to a 2-0 win to grab third place in the Premier League table, level on 66 points with fourth-placed Chelsea, who beat Wolves 2-0 with two quickfire first-half injury-time goals. Fifth-placed Leicester, who had been in the top four for 298 days and only dropped to fifth in midweek, will go into the Europa League group stages along with Tottenham, after their point at Crystal Palace was enough to edge Wolves into seventh on goal difference. Nuno Espirito Santo's side will now have to wait until the FA Cup final on August 1 to see whether they will be in Europe - an Arsenal win against Chelsea at Wembley would see the Gunners take the second qualifying-round place.
