Jefferson Montero scored his first ever goal for Swansea following his arrival at the Liberty Stadium last summer.

His goal helped the Swans to extend their unbeaten home record over Stoke to six matches.

Marc Wilson's red card for Stoke means that now every Premier League side has had at least one player dismissed this season.


West Ham United 1-0 Burnley

If Burnley are to stand any chance of securing their Premier League status, they must win each of their last three games.

The Clarets have failed to score in eight of their last nine outings.

West Ham had won only one of their previous 12 Premier League games.


Manchester United 0-1 West Bromwich Albion

Man United have lost three Premier League games on the trot for the first time since 2001.

Robin van Persie, who missed from the spot, had scored his previous six penalties for the Red Devils.

For Baggies boss Tony Pulis, it was a first win over United, having failed to emerge victorious from any of the previous 11 meetings.


Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace

The slender victory handed Chelsea the Premier League title for the first time since 2010.

It means that the Blues have won the Premier League on four occasions - only Manchester United (13) have won it more times.

Palace went into the game at Stamford Bridge on the back of five wins from six away encounters.


Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Manchester City
