Manchester City moved clear in the title race with a 5-0 home win over Newcastle United on Sunday after Liverpool had been held to a 1-1 home draw with fifth-placed Tottenham. City’s sizable win also improved their goal difference to the point where they now have that advantage over the second-placed Reds.
Third-placed Chelsea blew a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Wolverhampton but they should have enough to hold on for a top-four spot, with Arsenal enhancing their hopes of Champions League qualification with a 2-1 home win over 10-man Leeds United. The Gunners can finish as high as third but will be focused on the top four, with a midweek North London derby with Tottenham next up.

AC Milan got past Verona 3-1 on Sunday to return to top spot with a Sandro Tonali brace.
Third-placed Napoli are assured of Champions League football and won 1-0 at Torino, while Juventus are in a similar position, yet lost 2-1 at struggling Genoa.

| 5 | SC Freiburg | 55 | 33 |
Recently-crowned champions Bayern Munich failed to win for the second successive game, drawing 2-2 at home with VfB Stuttgart, although it’s purely academic. Likewise for Borussia Dortmund who are secure in second and won 3-1 at relegated Greuther Furth.
The race for the third and fourth spots is more interesting, with Bayer Leverkusen securing Champions League football after a come-from-behind 4-2 win at Hoffenheim, who have fallen apart late this season. SC Freiburg lost fourth spot after going down 4-1 at home to sixth-placed Union Berlin, allowing RB Leipzig to take the initiative heading into the final day after snapping their two-game losing run with a 4-0 home win over Augsburg.
