Man United, Chelsea qualify for UCL; Watford, Bournemouth relegated

Manchester United and Chelsea have both qualified for next season’s Champions League after the two clubs won their final English Premier League (EPL) matches to confirm their places in the top four.

The Red Devils and Blues clinch the third and fourth places respectively with victories over Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers on the final day of the season.

While United needed goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard — his first since December 2018 — to overcome Leicester, Chelsea made light work of Wolves, thanks to Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud.

It wasn't easy but we got the job done 👊
